After Going Viral on a Dating Show, I'm Pampered by All

Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Don’t say it, don’t say it, I am not wrong

Sang Qingran couldn’t help but want to sneer when he heard such a conversation. Hardships? The shares Jiaojiao sold were worth a fortune, not to mention the two billion she borrowed using her mother’s name. With so much money on her, what hardships could she possibly have?

He didn’t make a sound, just fell silent.

This only made Mrs. Sang feel even more helpless. As biased as she was towards Sang Jiao in her heart, at that moment she wasn’t foolish; she knew she had been used by Jiaojiao.

She had truly treated Sang Jiao like family, and Mrs. Sang’s eyes grew increasingly dry, “I was so good to her, why would she treat me like this?”

Sang Qingran wanted to laugh even more. Hadn’t he been nice to Sang Qiao? And what had he received in return?

Not all kindness in the world is met with equal reward.

“Some people simply don’t deserve your kindness; it’s nothing but the story of the farmer and the snake.”

“Qingran, your dad… he’s forcing me to apologize to Qiaoqiao, and if I don’t, he won’t let me come home and has even stopped my cards. You will help me, right?”

Mrs. Sang had no sense of belonging in her heart. She had no home—neither the Sang Family nor the Su Family were her havens, no place where she always felt confident and sheltered from the storm.

“I’m afraid he doesn’t have the ability to do that anymore. Sang Family’s business is now in Siyang’s hands. I’ll take you back to the old mansion first.”

Sang Qingran couldn’t be bothered to say more, his own heart was agitated. He had come to pick her up and pay her debts out of a son’s duty.

Anything beyond that, he couldn’t do.

His mother had never had eyes for him. When he was younger, his dedication to studying medicine was looked down upon by his entire family who thought being a doctor was less valuable than studying finance to earn more money and bring benefits to the company.

The Sang Family members were all stubborn, and so was he. He had persisted and won scholarships, worked part-time during holidays to pay for his medical studies.

During that time, apart from Sang Qiao, nobody had supported him.

Later, when he’d returned after completing his studies and became a distinguished figure in the medical field, the Sang Family members began to take notice of him, but Sang Qiao… things had changed.

Mrs. Sang, sensing her third son was in low spirits, didn’t dare to talk anymore.

The car drove straight to the entrance of the Sang Family old mansion and stopped.

Mrs. Sang got out of the car and went in alone, and from a great distance, she could hear Mr. Sang’s voice.

“No… it’s not like that. I didn’t abandon Sang Family’s business and run away. I just wanted to see if anyone could save it.”

When Mrs. Sang entered, what she saw was Mr. Sang kneeling on the ground, his tone abject.

“Yeah, sell your shares first, then save it,” snorted Sang Nanfeng sarcastically.

“Nanfeng!” Mr. Sang couldn’t help but explode with anger. At such a critical moment, instead of supporting him, his very own son was making sarcastic remarks—this was his “good” son!

“Shut up! You still have the face to yell at your son? If it wasn’t for them, would Sang Family exist today?” Mr. Sang Senior burst out angrily.

Hearing footsteps from the left and turning to see Mrs. Sang and Sang Qingran added fuel to his fire.

“So now you’re not teaming up with Sang Jiao? Foolish!”

Knowing she was in the wrong, Mrs. Sang didn’t dare to make a sound this time, fearing being abandoned even more. She had already lost everything, and what made her more miserable was that she had misplaced her trust in Jiaojiao.

“Look at you all, what a fine family you’ve made! A family divided.”

Mr. Sang Senior closed his eyes in pain. Every time he thought of Mr. Li Senior’s family sitting together at the table, bantering and eating amiably, he felt distressed.

Even if their own family sat at one table, they were all perfunctory, wishing they could leave immediately.

“Get out, all of you! From now on, you’re not allowed to set foot in Sang Family’s business; I’m handing everything over to Siyang.”

“Dad, just give me one more chance, I…”

“Scram! If you can’t even take care of the family, how can I expect you to manage the company? If you don’t leave now, don’t even think about getting a penny from the Sang Family in the future.”

Mr. Sang Senior’s voice was full of vigor, and his eyes were sparking with anger.

Mr. Sang was so scared that he didn’t dare to utter a word and had to reluctantly take Mrs. Sang and leave.

Once they had stepped out of the mansion’s grand gates,

Mr. Sang became even more displeased with Mrs. Sang the more he looked at her, “Look at who you trusted! If it wasn’t for your help in getting Sang Jiao into the company, would I have ended up like this?”

Mrs. Sang felt even worse being blamed, she couldn’t have imagined Sang Jiao would act like this.

What’s more, the reason Mr. Sang lost control over managing the Sang Family was his own fault for always running away when trouble arose, but at this moment, Mrs. Sang didn’t dare to say such things.

She had nothing now; she was afraid that Mr. Sang would divorce her. What would she do then?

“I didn’t help her…”

Seeing that she was no longer sharp-tongued, Mr. Sang felt slightly better and proposed:

“Go find Sang Qiao, coax her to come back. Everything in our family will get better. Then whether she says the word for me to re-enter the Sang Family or gets me a high position at Rose Entertainment, it would be a good thing for us!”

Hearing this, Mrs. Sang’s fingers tightened involuntarily, “I won’t go.”

“Can’t you see the situation clearly? Right now, Sang Qiao is our ‘big thigh’ (main support) to cling to! Moreover, if you could be so nice to a stranger, why not share a bit of that with Sang Qiao? She would surely come happily trotting back to you.”

Mr. Sang couldn’t help but give Mrs. Sang a disdainful look – such a foolish woman! Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

For the first time, Mrs. Sang felt at a loss. Yes, why was she so nice to a stranger, but couldn’t be even a little nice to Sang Qiao?

Why did she dislike Qiaoqiao so much in the beginning? What did her pain during pregnancy have to do with Qiaoqiao? Qiaoqiao was just a lump of flesh in her womb at the time.

After Qiaoqiao was born, Mrs. Sang Senior passed away, Mr. Sang Senior was devastated, and Sang Zheng took over the Sang Family’s business, which was fraught with difficulties. Wasn’t it a result of Sang Zheng’s incompetence? What did that have to do with Qiaoqiao?

The Master had been caught – his words were all lies, Sang Jiao had betrayed her too, she definitely couldn’t be her benefactor.

Having realized this, Mrs. Sang suddenly stepped back in fear, squatting down and covering her ears, “Don’t say it, don’t say it, I don’t want to hear, I’m not wrong…”

“What are you going crazy about? Do you intentionally want to embarrass me on the main road?”

Mr. Sang was thoroughly annoyed watching his wife’s unexpected behavior.

Mrs. Sang heard the familiar voice and was jerked back to reality. She wiped her tears and ran up to Sang Zheng, hugging his waist, murmuring:

“Husband, you said you’d love me for a lifetime, right? You said once we have another daughter, that would be enough. Then we could leave her with mom and go traveling, right?”

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Sang Zheng furrowed his brows.

“Our daughter, shall we go back and hand her over to mom? When we return, we can bring her a gift.”

Mrs. Sang lifted her head from his embrace, her smile radiant and eyes sparkling with laughter.

“No need to pretend to be dumb if you don’t want to coax Sang Qiao back. Let go of me! You’re making a scene.” Sang Zheng said as he pushed her away, his tone filled with impatience.

Mrs. Sang stood there in shock, coax Sang Qiao back? Her head ached in throbbing waves, she saw herself reaching out, wanting to strangle her daughter, and saw Mrs. Sang Senior peacefully passing away on that summer day.

“Ah—”

No… no way, how could so much time have passed?

Before Mrs. Sang lost consciousness, the image of Sang Qiao pulling her luggage and leaving the Sang Family appeared before her eyes, as the entire family sneered and mocked Sang Qiao.
