Chapter 152: Chapter 152: Asking Sang Qiao Won’t Work, Forcing Sang Qiao Can
Liang Mengyun did not change her stance despite her brother’s fierce reaction, for he would never understand the pain of her unrequited love for Sang Shen over the past eight years.
Even if Sang Shen did not love her but married her, she would have been content, for that was all she wished for!
How could she not want to be the kind, upright woman she used to be? But the whole world was trying to tear her and Sang Shen apart, and she could not accept that.
“Are you really that timid and afraid of conflict, willing to watch the woman you love be with someone else without even trying to fight for her?”
“I would never do anything to hurt others,” Liang Qiran said without hesitation and walked away resolutely.
Liang Mengyun watched her brother’s retreating figure, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.
Even her own brother wouldn’t help her, would he?

A few days after the wedding, Xiao’an received a call from an unfamiliar number. The caller was a man with a clear voice, requesting to speak to Sang Qiao.
“Sister Qiao, someone says it’s urgent and he couldn’t reach you, so he called me instead. Do you want to take it?”
“Give it to me,” Sang Qiao said, glancing at the digits on the screen.
She could guess who it was just by seeing the last few digits.
Indeed, as soon as the call connected, Sang Siyang’s voice came through, “Qiaoqiao, if you hear anything about the Sang Family’s affairs, good or bad, just ignore it. Trust me, I can handle it. And if mom and others come looking for you, don’t meet them.”
“Mhm.” Sang Qiao slightly lifted her eyelids, not bothering to ask what he was planning to do.
“I know you didn’t want to receive calls from me, just like how you stubbornly showed kindness to me even though we were too stubborn to accept it back then. But Qiaoqiao, I just wanted to tell you, having you as a sister makes me really happy. I’ve dreamt countless times that we could go back to the past.”
“Alright, I’m off to handle some company matters. You and Mr. Si are really well matched, someone loves you, and your brother is happy for you.”
After saying all this, the phone was abruptly hung up, leaving Sang Qiao staring at the call-ended screen, lost in thought.
She wasn’t curious about what Sang Siyang had planned to deal with Sang Jiao, as she could sense from the phone call that his methods were likely unsafe.
But Sang Siyang’s affairs were no longer her concern; she quickly summarized this conversation and sent it to Sang Nanfeng.
After sending it, she blocked Sang Nanfeng’s number and then handed the phone back to Xiao’an.
“Sister Qiao, should I let you know if he calls again?” Xiao’an took over the phone, noting that Sister Qiao’s expression was distinctly somber, and her tone during the call was very indifferent.
Having worked closely with her, she knew well that although Sister Qiao was typically reserved, she was not one to reply with just a word so coldly.
“No need.”
“Okay.”
After lunch, Sang Qiao went to the company as if nothing had happened.
That very morning, around 10 a.m., the hot topic in the finance sector was almost entirely about the Sang Family facing bankruptcy.
The Sang Family faced rejection in their attempts to collaborate with the Si Family. It was rumored that Sang Qiao did not acknowledge her family, and the Si Family did not recognize the Sang Family as in-laws, which caused President Sang to panic and sell all his shares before fleeing overnight.
Sang Qiao lightly tapped her fingertips on the desk, then glanced through and exited the page.
“Sister Qiao, there’s a woman downstairs claiming to be your mother looking for you.”
“Don’t see her.”
“Should I have security throw her out?” the middle-aged lady asked uncertainly.
“Sure,” Sang Qiao replied with her usual cold demeanor, her voice devoid of concern.
The middle-aged lady then went downstairs, reassured, to chase the woman away.
Before long, the middle-aged lady came back up to knock on the door, “Sister Qiao, that woman who claims to be your mother was chased away by security, but she started crying and shouting at the building’s entrance, even slandering you. A crowd has already gathered.”
“I’ll go down and see.” Sang Qiao chuckled softly; this was indeed unexpected.
Mrs. Sang was so desperate? To forsake her dignity and shout like a shrew in public?
“Okay.” The middle-aged lady led the way downstairs.
Upon reaching the company’s entrance, Sang Qiao could see Mrs. Sang sitting amidst a crowd of people, her hair disheveled and muttering to herself.
“How could my daughter, whom I raised, be such an ingrate? Even if I was not good to her, I still gave birth to and raised her. Now, when her own company is in trouble, she just stands by idly? Does she have no conscience? Everyone, please judge this.”
Mrs. Sang cried more intensely, her heart filled with pain. She had completely lost her dignity!
But now, just when Jiaojiao was about to control a significant portion of the Sang Family company, the situation turned dire. Sang Zheng, that shameless man, had actually run away!
Just giving up on the Sang Family, she couldn’t accept it!
Just as she was finally about to enjoy a good life, she had hit rock bottom, and Sang Zheng no longer wanted her. She couldn’t just collapse like this; she could only hope that Sang Qiao would save the Sang Family.
“You said it yourself, you did nothing but give birth to me. Rest assured, when you pass away, I’ll make sure to send you off,” Sang Qiao replied coolly, glancing down at her with indifferent eyes, looking elegant on the steps while Mrs. Sang sat in utter disarray on the ground.

“You! You’re cursing me! How could I have given birth to such a daughter! Heartless! Why didn’t you just die instead of bringing disaster upon our family!”
Mrs. Sang was further enraged, her mind a blank slate as she continued to hurl insults.
“Forcing a mother to curse her daughter like this, how disloyal must this daughter be!”
“Didn’t you hear what the mother just said? The daughter is successful in her career, has an outstanding husband, yet refuses to lend a hand to her family’s company on the brink of collapse. How cruel!”
“It’s a shame for such a beautiful young lady who runs such a big company; how could her heart be so dark!”
The crowd instantly burst into discussion, naturally sympathizing as they, being elderly, cared immensely for their own daughters.
As a parent herself, Mrs. Sang wouldn’t be harsh without reason; clearly, it had to be the daughter’s pettiness and miserliness!
“Those who are unaware of the facts might do well to keep silent, lest your slander causes a loss to my company, and you find yourselves bankrupt in trying to compensate.”
Sang Qiao’s powerful glance silenced the buzz of the crowd.
A few timid onlookers quieted down.
Yet some, emboldened by their numbers, remained defiant.
“If you say it’s slander, then explain why you, as a daughter, are so heartless towards your mother!”
“Exactly! Look at how your mother is crying. Don’t you feel any pity? She endured so much raising you, and this is how you repay her?”
“Tell us, with your company making so much money, what would it cost you to spare a little?”
Seeing the crowd still sided with her, Mrs. Sang sighed in relief internally, knowing she could never beg Sang Qiao to do it in this lifetime.
But as long as Sang Qiao was her own daughter, she couldn’t simply ignore her.
After all, she’s her mother!
