Chapter 697: Chapter 697: Keeping You Alive

Liang Xi knew clearly that ever since his father had passed away, his mother had placed her faith in so-called "masters."

But she hadn’t done anything too irrational; at most, she’d been wasteful with money.

Liang Xi could afford to give her that money, and it didn’t really matter to him anymore.

All he thought was, as long as his mother was happy, that was enough.

Later on, Liang Xi’s mother had even given him quite a few "body-strengthening, fortune-altering, life-preserving" talismans.

The material of every talisman and the order of the strokes were the same, just the contents of the talismans varied.

Just by looking at the material and the pressure of the strokes on the talisman on the ground, Liang Xi knew where it had come from.

Liang Xi’s mother had a master she trusted considerably, known as Master Yang Jiewen.

He knew that these talismans had all come from Master Yang’s hand.

Gripping the talisman tightly, Liang Xi’s hands trembled.

He closed his eyes, then reopened them to reveal a blood-red gaze. Slowly turning his head toward his mother, his voice hoarse and filled with disappointment, he asked,

"These talismans, they’re all from Master Yang, aren’t they? Is this drug also from him?"

Upon hearing this, the last vestiges of color drained from Liang Xi’s mother’s face, and her mind was left with only two words: It’s over.

A cold breeze blew by.

Liang Xi’s mother rushed over and grabbed his hand, choking up, "Son, it’s not like that. Mom was desperate. I did these things for your own good. I never meant to harm you..."

Liang Xi let out a bitter laugh, "Then tell me, what are these drugs for?"

Liang Xi’s mother, through gritted teeth, replied, "These, I don’t really know what’s up with these drugs. Master Yang told me they’re just ordinary tonics. I truly don’t know what a Child-Inducing Drug is. Son, you have to believe your mother!"

Seeing that she still wouldn’t admit it, the boss of the Wei family put her hands on her hips, took a deep breath, "Alright, you say you don’t know? Then tell me, where does this Master Yang live? I’ll have the police arrest him. As long as he’s caught, we’ll get to the bottom of this. Don’t you agree?"

Liang Xi’s mother trembled, abruptly looked up, and stared at Wei Qingran, "Why can’t you just leave me alone? Haven’t I treated Qingran well enough? If it weren’t for her inability to conceive, I wouldn’t have resorted to such methods. It’s all because of her..."

"Enough!"

Liang Xi pushed his mother’s hand away, interrupting her.

Liang Xi’s mother collapsed to the ground, looking up at him incredulously.

Liang Xi lifted his hand to wipe the corner of his eye, then said firmly and slowly, "Mom, I just want to hear the truth. What exactly is going on here? Do you want me to call the police to investigate, or are you going to tell me yourself?"

Liang Xi’s mother was stunned, "For her sake, you’d call the police on me? Liang Xi, I’m your mother!"

"I don’t want to do this either, so just tell me what is really going on!" Liang Xi clenched his teeth, "If you keep this up without clarity, how am I supposed to face Qingran, how am I supposed to face the Wei family in the future?"

Upon hearing this, Wei Qingran’s eyes reddened, she turned her head away, covering her face, unwilling to speak.

Jiangli glanced at her and then leaned against the doorframe of the kitchen, looking toward Liang Xi’s mother.

Liang Xi’s mother’s expression was fierce, her gaze somewhat scattered, her spirit unfocused, as if she had gone mad.

The words from Liang Xi were undoubtedly a fatal blow to her.

Sitting on the ground, she stammered, "I did everything for your sake, and yet you treat me like this? If it weren’t for wanting to keep you alive, for the Liang family to have descendants, for me to face your father underground in a hundred years, do you think I would want to be the villain?"

"I asked you to take Qingran to the hospital, even trying IVF would’ve been fine, but you just wouldn’t agree. You didn’t want her to suffer. If you hadn’t been so protective of her, I wouldn’t have had to resort to this method!"
