Chapter 1357 The Liang Family Kneels
"This is different; I now have an imperial decree!"
In their home, Mom's words are law. If Mom told them not to go back, what could Dad say?
“My mom said that the Liang family seems to be up to something, making quite a fuss. She's worried that they might be up to something, so she told me not to go back yet. Do you know what the Liang family is up to?”
Jiang Manman poked her head out from behind, looking at Huo Yanchen curiously.
She felt that Huo Yanchen had an omnipotent quality, as if he knew everything.
Huo Yanchen must have arranged for someone to keep an eye on things, right?
Huo Yanchen said, "I've organized a banquet to invite Bo Qing and me."
"Huh? You're inviting them over to apologize?" All Jiang Manman could think of was an apology; she couldn't very well invite them over and offend them.
But Liang Chen is back?
Can Uncle Liang still control Liang Chen now?
Jiang Manman disagreed, feeling that Liang Chen was now uncontrollable by anyone.
"But they invited you, and you stayed home. What about Brother-in-law Bo Qing? He didn't go either?"
"No, who would go to a place like that? Do you really think we're bored?"
Huo Yanchen washed his hands, then turned around and tapped Jiang Manman's face with his wet fingers: "Do you think anyone can see me whenever they want, or that I can make time to pick them up?"
Jiang Manman laughed and said, "Me too. I'm not a busy person that everyone can meet, so Huo Yanchen, you are really honored."
"Yes, it's my honor," Huo Yanchen echoed Jiang Manman's words.
However, Huo Yanchen truly satisfied Jiang Manman today, and she even stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips.
"Here'll be another reward for you, but my mom told me not to go back, so I'll have nowhere to stay tonight. Either you take me in and I'll stay here, or you come with me to a hotel and we'll stay at a hotel."
"What's the difference between staying in a hotel and staying at home with me?"
Don't they all live together?
Jiang Manman chuckled: "It's too dangerous outside, you have to come with me!"
In reality, she just wanted to live with Huo Yanchen.
Huo Yanchen said, "Then stay here tonight. I'm about to start cooking. Let's eat first. There's a lot of cooking smoke here, so you can go outside."
Huo Yanchen used to dislike this kind of homely atmosphere, but now he has taken the initiative to take over the cooking.
Jiang Manman said, "Okay!"
Jiang Manman went outside and sat for a while, scrolling through her phone out of boredom, and ended up coming across a live stream.
The live stream was none other than what was happening in the Liang family right now, with Mr. and Mrs. Liang as the main characters.
Their eyes were bloodshot, and their hair had turned much whiter; Liang Chen seemed to be absent.
It looks like they've set up this live stream; there are already quite a few people watching.
Liang's father was bent over in the live broadcast room, looking incredibly pitiful, tired, and old.
"Today, I want to apologize to Mr. Bo Qing, Ms. Shen Yuan, and Mr. Huo Yanchen in front of everyone and netizens on behalf of my son."
“I know you don’t want to come to my little temple. My son did something wrong yesterday, and I, as his father, also bear responsibility. He is still young and doesn’t know any better. He offended you all in a moment of impulse. I will criticize him properly. I only hope that you will be magnanimous and let my son off the hook. I’m sorry everyone.”
Mr. Liang acted like a complete victim. He invited all the important figures from yesterday's banquet, intending to apologize to Bo Qing and Huo Yanchen in front of everyone.
However, neither of them showed up, which was within Liang's father's expectations.
He had already set up the venue, and if those three didn't know, they would be at a huge loss, so he came up with the idea of live streaming.
Whether they can see it or not, at least the whole world knows his attitude, and no one can find fault with it.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Manman quickly went to the kitchen to find Huo Yanchen.
"Huo Yanchen!"
Huo Yanchen was still cooking when he saw Jiang Manman come in. He said, "Let's go out first, it's smoky in here."
Jiang Manman said, "That's not important. Look what this is. The Liang family is doing a live broadcast, and I feel like what they're saying is really uncomfortable. It was Liang Chen's fault to begin with. He said Liang Chen is still young. Is he still young at twenty?"
"And he even asked us to be lenient, which is clearly moral blackmail. I felt very uncomfortable. I think things are not that simple. He spent so much money to invite so many people and made a big fuss about it. It feels like he is trying to put you on a pedestal."
Even Jiang Manman saw through the intentions of both families; this is truly outrageous!
Jiang Manman said, "I suspect he's not just going to do this; he might have something bigger planned."
Huo Yanchen simply nodded: "Okay, don't worry about him, let's eat first."
"I'm just angry!"
It wasn't that she was angry that the Liang family ignored her; they were the ones who pushed her, yet they didn't apologize.
What angered her was that the Liang family's actions were essentially forcing people to forgive them, which was unacceptable.
But Jiang Manman felt that he had miscalculated, because no matter who it was, they were not so easy for him to control, and how could they possibly care about what he said?
"Don't be angry. If you're angry, do something else to distract yourself. Take this dish out and get the bowls and chopsticks." Huo Yanchen gave Jiang Manman something to do.
Jiang Manman also put down her phone and started moving: "Okay."
She took out the dishes that Huo Yanchen had prepared, and placed the phone next to him. Huo Yanchen saw out of the corner of his eye that in the live broadcast, Liang's father and mother were already kneeling on the ground.
“I know my son has offended a few people, but he only pushed someone. It’s not a capital offense. My husband and I have failed to raise our son properly. We kneel here and apologize to Ms. Shen.”
"My son definitely didn't do it on purpose. People may not believe it, but it's the truth and I can't deny it. Miss Shen can do whatever she wants to us, but please, please let my son go." Mother Liang cried so hard she could barely breathe, showing the love of a mother for her son.
People online, unaware of the situation, have only heard one side of the story from the Liang family, and now they're all chattering about it.
'What's going on? They even forced someone to kneel down?'
"It shouldn't be that serious if she was just pushed. I remember Shen Yuan as a really nice person, right? I quite like her products; they're really good. She and Bo Qing are also one of my favorite couples. If their relationship falls apart, I won't believe there are any good people in this world anymore."
'Although I don't know what happened, they knelt down, so maybe we should forgive them. They must know they were wrong; it's not that serious.'
"They've apologized like that, so they've shown sincerity, and I think I should forgive them."
At least for now, most people are speaking up for the Liang family because of their actions.
