Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1414: Chapter 1399: Who Are You to Call Yourself Her Grandma?

Elixir of Life?

Huo Sining was taken aback, a bit amused as she said, “Is this person out of his mind?”

Zhou Shitao said, “I don’t know if he’s crazy, but if he thinks he can avoid interrogation like this, he’s gravely mistaken. I’ve already contacted people, and if necessary, we’ll use a lie detector. Sooner or later, we’ll make him speak the truth.”

“But let me be clear upfront, there’s no room for sentimentality in this matter. The Liang Family People are currently networking everywhere, trying to get Liang Ruicheng out. I’ve already instructed the Magic Capital police department that there should be no room for favoritism. These people must be handled seriously, and the interrogation must not be sloppy at all. If anyone from the Liang Family approaches you, just refuse them outright. Don’t make it difficult for your mentor down the line!”

Huo Sining paused, then smiled, knowing Zhou Shitao was considering her feelings and afraid she might have different thoughts about how he’s handling the situation.

“You’re overthinking it. I really have no objections. Handle it as you see fit. I absolutely won’t interfere. Didn’t you say yourself that this is a troublesome uncle? When it comes down to it, he has nothing to do with me.”

This was indeed true. Back then, Mr. Liang and her grandma had left the Liang Family, starting anew and estranging themselves from them. Not even Mr. Liang recognized Liang Pengzhi, so how could this concern her?

Not to mention that Huo Sining currently had no ties with the Liang Family. Even if she did acknowledge Liang Pengzhi as her so-called grandfather, it was merely a blood relation. Liang Ruicheng was a child from someone else, completely unrelated to her. Huo Sining wasn’t foolish, why would she get involved in this?

However, just because Huo Sining didn’t involve herself doesn’t mean the Liang Family People would just sit idly by. When Liang Ruicheng was arrested, the Liang Family became like ants on a hot pan, seeking help everywhere, but to no avail.

Moreover, there had been orders from the top that required strict handling, and the Liang Family knew things were grim. In such a tense atmosphere, they began to act desperately.

Old Madam Liang, who previously wished for Huo Sining to disappear, fearing this suddenly appeared orphan would take the Liang Family’s assets, was now running around, seeking connections, just to find out Huo Sining’s whereabouts and contact information.

Liang Ruicheng’s wife, An Hongmei, somehow got a hold of Huo Sining’s agent’s phone number and started to harass Liu Cheng.

She was persistent, calling repeatedly, until Liu Cheng had no choice but to block the number.

But Liu Cheng wasn’t sure about the relationship between the Liang Family and Huo Sining. He was worried that if Huo Sining was indeed a relative, blocking An Hongmei might upset her. So, after ending An Hongmei’s call, Liu Cheng still called Huo Sining.

When Huo Sining learned that An Hongmei was calling Liu Cheng to find her, she approved Liu Cheng’s action of blocking the Liang Family’s number, stating that she had no relation to them and Liu Cheng didn’t need to bother.

However, the Liang Family still had some connections. Since Liu Cheng couldn’t be reached, Old Madam Liang directly tracked down Huo Sining’s number.

Old Madam Liang called Huo Sining, but Huo Sining was already prepared psychologically. Upon seeing an unfamiliar number from the Imperial Capital, she simply refused to answer.

But what Huo Sining didn’t expect at all was that after failing to reach her, the Liang Family came up with an even sillier idea.

An Hongmei found out Gu Xu’s company address, and after her calls were refused, she actually brought Old Madam Liang straight to Shengtang Group, claiming outside that she was Huo Sining’s grandmother. Not only did they assault the security and front desk staff at Shengtang’s lobby, but they also went up the elevator to the executive office, startling several company executives who were in a meeting.

Gu Xu wasn’t easy to provoke either. After understanding the full situation, he knew he didn’t even need to ask Huo Sining about it to guess what her attitude would be.

Gu Xu and Huo Sining both had no fond feelings toward the Liang Family People. Liang Ruicheng had previously schemed against Huo Sining. Gu Xu had secretly investigated, and knew the Liang Family’s people were not kind-hearted and had unfavorable intentions towards Huo Sining. Since the Liang Family hadn’t caused trouble for Huo Sining before, Gu Xu didn’t bother to deal with them either.

But now that they had intruded on his turf, how could Gu Xu let such a good opportunity slip by?

“Mr. Gu, you are Huo Sining’s fiancé. Now that her uncle is in trouble, I, as her grandmother, am personally asking you for help. You can’t just stand by; if word gets out, it will be a serious matter. Besides, Mr. Gu, with your capabilities, getting my son out is just a matter of words.”

Old Madam Liang and An Hongmei were causing a big scene at Shengtang Headquarters, finally drawing Gu Xu out. Delighted, Old Madam Liang began to rely on her age to persuade Gu Xu for help.

Gu Xu cast a sideways glance at Old Madam Liang and sarcastically remarked:

“Old Madam Liang, what kind of grandmother are you to Huo Sining? You and your son were Mr. Liang Pengzhi’s second wife, if I’m not mistaken. It was because you brought Liang Ruicheng and forced your way in back then, making Huo Sining’s grandmother Huang Chengxiang leave with my father-in-law, starting anew at the foot of the Imperial City.”

“Though it’s been years since this happened, and although nobody mentions it, that doesn’t mean it’s forgotten. Now you’re here claiming to be Huo Sining’s grandmother. Isn’t this ridiculous on a global scale? Do you really want me to expose your past for you to be satisfied?”

Gu Xu’s words left Old Madam Liang quite embarrassed, her face alternating between blue and pale, extremely awkward.

But in the end, Old Madam Liang was old enough. Having been a mistress forcing the main wife into submission in her early years, she had cultivated a thick skin. Seeing Gu Xu bring up past events, Old Madam Liang boldly lied with open eyes:

“Mr. Gu, considering your age, those stories from the past are nothing more than rumors you heard. Back then, it was Huang Chengxiang who wanted the divorce from Liang Pengzhi. I never forced her. And since you acknowledge Liang Ruining as your father-in-law, then it’s true my husband is Huo Sining’s grandfather, right? If my husband is her grandfather, then claiming to be her grandmother isn’t wrong, is it?”

Gu Xu found Old Madam Liang’s eagerness to claim the title of Huo Sining’s grandmother quite annoying. He knew very well that she was desperately trying to establish a connection with Huo Sining, only to have him help get Liang Ruicheng out.
