Chapter 1292 We were never strangers
"Luo Jing, you should know my current situation; it's impossible for me to raise a child." Liang Chen's eyes still held a hint of reluctance.
After all, it was his own child, and his first child.
Luo Jing said, "I know, Xiao Chen, don't worry, there will definitely be a way. How about you go to the Jiang family? What did the Jiang family say?"
"They only gave ten million, not much."
Luo Jing nodded. So it turned out they gave ten million.
This sum of ten million might not be much for Liang Chen, but it's a considerable amount for Luo Jing.
That's enough for her to enjoy herself abroad for a while.
She said, "How can my uncle be so stingy? You've been neighbors for so many years, do you really have no feelings at all? He only gives you ten million. Is he giving you money like a beggar, or does he look down on you?"
Sure enough, Liang Chen clenched his fists as soon as Luo Jing finished speaking.
Luo Jing said, "He donates so much money to charity every year, just to build his image. He donates so much but is unwilling to give it to you. Xiao Chen, I feel it's not worth it for you. In his eyes, you are not even as good as a stranger."
Luo Jing certainly knew how to instigate things; she knew what Liang Chen liked to hear and what he didn't.
Sure enough, Liang Chen shouted, "Enough, stop talking!"
He doesn't even know what the friendship of all these years means to him, and yet he only has ten million. Does he really think he's here to beg?
Luo Jing quickly comforted her, "Alright, Xiao Chen, don't be angry. It's not good if you get upset."
Now there's no one left in the Liang family. Liang's father is so angry that he's fallen ill, and Liang's mother is in the hospital taking care of him. All the servants have left, leaving only this villa. If they can't pay back the money, it will be sealed off.
"I'm such a failure. I've squandered my family's wealth." Liang Chen was filled with frustration.
Luo Jing comforted her, "How can you say that? This is not your fault at all. You can only blame those swindlers and Jiang Manman. If she had stopped you earlier, things would not be like this. This whole thing is her fault. Now she acts like nothing happened and lets you suffer here. It's so unfair!"
Liang Chen lowered his eyes, a hint of hatred flashing in them.
"So their family should give you more money to compensate you; ten million is not enough."
Liang Chen said, "He said he could give me another ten million."
"That's not much. Do you think you can wash away all your mistakes with 20 million? They just take advantage of your youth to bully you. My uncle is that kind of person. He's very malicious. Only in critical moments can you see who is good to you and who is bad to you. The whole world has abandoned you. Only I am the best to you and the only one you can trust."
Luo Jing gently coaxed him. She knew that Liang Chen had been very irritable lately, but he was still young and easy to appease.
Hearing Luo Jing's words, Liang Chen hated the Jiang family even more. They had so much money, and Jiang Manman was clearly the one who should bear the greatest responsibility for what had happened, but the Jiang family only cared about watching the show and were unwilling to lend a helping hand.
"So what do you think I should do next?" Liang Chen asked.
He was inexperienced and now completely at a loss. Because of Huo Yanchen's interference, the Liang family had lost all face. So many companies wanted to cancel their cooperation with the Liang family, and with the funding cut off, they were now unable to pay their workers' wages, and many people were protesting.
Liang Chen promised to resolve the issue within a week, but now half the time has passed and nothing has been resolved.
He went to borrow money from others, but they refused to lend him any and even kicked him out whenever they saw him. His former friends avoided him like the plague.
He waited for two days for the Jiang family to return, hoping they could save him, but they gave him nothing in return.
Tens or twenty million is simply not enough; at least one hundred million is needed to buffer the situation.
Liang Chen is very tired and overwhelmed right now.
Luo Jing said, "There is definitely no hurdle in this world that cannot be overcome. At worst, you can start over. There is nothing to be afraid of. But it would be a pity to start over. If you can borrow money now, you should borrow more. There are too many places where you need money."
“I think it’s their loss that they’re not giving you face right now. I believe that one day you will make everyone look at you with new eyes and give them a good slap in the face. But right now, the most urgent thing is money. I think you should have your father step in and borrow some money to tide you over, so you have some capital at the beginning.”
Luo Jing felt that ten million was too little; she would have preferred more.
Liang Chen felt that Luo Jing's words made sense. If those people didn't give him face, he couldn't possibly not give his father face either.
When Liang Chen went to the hospital to visit his father the next day, he saw Jiang Manman and her family there as well.
Jiang's father talked to him about something, and Liang's father seemed to be in a better mood at least.
"If only I had a sweet daughter too. Old Jiang, you're so lucky. Manman is so well-behaved and obedient; she'll definitely amount to something in the future, unlike my good-for-nothing son, sigh..."
Liang Chen, who was standing at the door, happened to overhear this. He was indignant; he had always been outstanding, even more so than Jiang Manman.
He felt that he liked Jiang Manman so much only because of her face. She was pretty, cute and adorable, and he only liked her because of her face. He didn't think Jiang Manman was better than him in any way.
Jiang's father said, "Not at all. I watched Xiao Chen grow up. He has always been so sensible and obedient since he was a child. This may just be a test for him. I believe that in time, he will definitely be a promising young man."
Jiang's mother chimed in, "That's right, Lao Liang, you need to rest now. Don't worry so much. Getting better is the most important thing."
If a person's heart is dirty, everything they think will be dirty.
The company is in such a serious situation, yet the Jiang family is actually advising their father to take a break. They say if he takes another break, the company will really be gone. What are they really up to?
If you really want your father to get some rest, then you should take out a large sum of money to solve the company's difficulties, so that your father can get some rest.
"Manman, please help your uncle persuade Xiaochen. He has always listened to you the most since he was little," Liang's mother said, wiping away her tears.
“Me?” Jiang Manman pointed to herself.
She was forced to come by her parents, who said it was more polite. How could they persuade her otherwise?
She had advised him long ago, and if Liang Chen had listened, he wouldn't have signed the contract with that company.
She and Liang Chen were no longer on the same path. She even resisted contact with Liang Chen and didn't want to meet or talk to him alone.
“Yes, Xiao Chen likes you so much, she’ll definitely listen to you,” Liang’s mother continued.
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open, and Liang Chen walked in with a cold face.
