Chapter 1429 Be Looked Down Upon

"Stop shouting. Even if you want to look for Qiao Mei, you have to wait until she wakes up. There's no such thing as disrupting someone's life when asking for help. How shameless of you," Xu Kang stood at the door and said softly.

"I really need to talk to Qiao Mei about an urgent matter. Can you please go and get Qiao Mei? Or let me go inside and wait for Qiao Mei!" Liang Lan said as she suppressed the anger in her heart.

"Our Old Master says that we are not allowed to let in any members of the Liang family. Previously, all of you were so arrogant and had bad-mouthed the family so much that our Old Master said he wanted to cut ties with the Liang family. Why do you come here so often now? Don't tell me that everything you say in the past doesn't count?" Xu Kang said sarcastically. n-/0velbIn

Liang Lan gritted her teeth and looked at Xu Kang. No matter how down and out she was, she was still a member of the Liang family. Everyone she met would still show her some respect. This was the first time she had met someone as tactless as Xu Kang. What right did a helper have to criticize her!

If not for the fact that she had to beg for Liang Shu's medicine, she would not have to suffer like this!

Liang Lan continued to shout Qiao Mei's name outside the door. Xu Kang was so annoyed that she closed the main door. Out of sight, out of mind. Qiao Mei's house had very good soundproofing and no one would hear Liang Lan shouting outside at all.

Qiao Mei only got up at noon. After that, she thought about going out for a walk. The moment she opened the door, she bumped into Liang Lan, who was sitting on the steps at the door. It gave her such a shock that she jumped back in fright.

"Ah! Why are you here!" Qiao Mei said as she held onto her own chest.

"I... I kept knocking on the door, but no one answered, so I had to wait outside..." Liang Lan said aggrievedly.

Qiao Mei knew immediately that Xu Kang had deliberately refused entry to Liang Lan. She decided to give Xu Kang a sum of bonus this month!

"Are you here because of Liang Shu?" Qiao Mei asked.

"Yes, yes, yes! My mother feels much better after taking the medicine you brought last time, but she's still partially paralyzed and can't speak properly yet. Can you give me some more medicine?" Liang Lan said embarrassedly.

Qiao Mei did not want to get involved anymore, but as the saying went, to receive a favor was to sell one's liberty. Since the butterfly mark was obtained from the Liang family, she felt uneasy if she did not give anything back to them.

"You can come in. Be quiet and don't let my grandfather find out. I'll give you one last dose of medicine. Take it and don't come to my house again. Otherwise, if my grandfather finds out, you won't even be able to keep this last bottle!" Qiao Mei said.

Liang Lan followed behind Qiao Mei carefully, worried that she would run into Qiao Qiang. Qiao Mei asked Liang Lan to wait in the living hall and said that she would be back soon.

Liang Lan went around the room, looking and touching different items, seemingly curious about everything. In the living hall, there was a new treasure which Qiao Mei had just bought and it looked very rare and interesting.

It was a standing clock and it looked very ancient. Some time ago, the owner of an antique shop had given it to Qiao Mei as a gift since she had given him a lot of business.

This clock belonged to his family. Due to some issues at home, his family had to leave the capital for a period of time and he had to sell away most of his goods. This clock was the only thing that he could not bear to part with.

He could tell that Qiao Mei was a person who cherished antiques. Giving Qiao Mei this clock could be considered as finding it a good new owner and he could also feel at ease with this decision.

"Don't touch it! Can you afford to pay for it if you damage it!" Xu Kang said loudly.

"Hmph, as if it's something special. There's nothing great about it," Liang Lan said as she rolled her eyes.

"Yes, it's nothing great. If it's beneath you, then you can leave! There's no need for you to wait here!" Xu Kang said.

Liang Lan put her hands on her hips and said mockingly, "You're just Qiao Mei's helper! What kind of attitude is this! I'm here as a guest! I'm not here to be looked down upon by you!"

"So long as it's a Liang family member! That's how I will behave! It's already good enough that I'm not whacking you with a big stick! If you're not happy about it, I'll go and ask Old Master Qiao to come over!" Xu Kang said.

At the mention of Qiao Qiang, Liang Lan immediately fell silent. Once Liang Shu recovered, she would definitely come back and teach this bunch of people a lesson!

"Here's the medicine," Qiao Mei said as she walked over, pretending not to see Xu Kang bullying Liang Lan.

Liang Lan took the medicine carefully and put it into her bag. She smiled and said, "I want to ask you about the photo you took the last time. Was there another photo with it?"

"Photo? I guess you mean that photo of my grandfather. There's indeed another photo stuck to it," Qiao Mei said.
