Everything seemed reasonable, but Liu Jinbao didn’t believe him at all. He pushed him away and wanted to enter.
Manager Liu, who looked grief-stricken, staggered a step from his push. His face darkened and he said sternly, “Stop him.”
The guards he brought immediately stood in a row and blocked Liu Jinbao’s way.
Liu Jinbao was so angry that his eyes turned red. “You useless servant. Do I need your permission to go back to my house?”
Manager Liu stopped pretending. He patted the non-existent dust off his sleeve and sneered. “I’m saving you some dignity by calling you Young Master. Do you really think you’re still the young master of our Liu residence?”
If he couldn’t see the problem now, Liu Jinbao would be stupid. He looked at Manager Liu coldly. “What do you mean?
“What do you mean?” Manager Liu glanced at Liu Jinbao’s clothes and said disdainfully, “Your name was removed from the family tree half a month ago. You have nothing to do with our Liu family now.”
Liu Jinbao clenched his fists. “That’s impossible. Grandfather wouldn’t do that to me.”
Even though his grandfather had a second son, his grandfather’s love for him could not be faked. He did not believe that his grandfather would chase him out of the house.
“Impossible?” Manager Liu sneered. “From the day you stole the money from the residence and left home, the old master had already said that he would pretend that he didn’t have a grandson like you. Otherwise, why do you think the Liu family never sent anyone to look for you? As for Eldest Master and Madam, you know their attitude towards you. Have they ever taken care of you since you were born? Naturally, they don’t care about your life.”
The two of them were an odd pair. They had given birth to sons to complete the mission given by Old Master Liu to carry on the family line.
Therefore, they left Liu Jinbao to the nanny to take care of him when he was born. Later on, Old Master Liu wanted to bring him to his side, so the two of them were happy and relaxed.
They only had each other in their hearts, followed by the silver, and behind the silver was the old master.
Because the silver was in the old master’s hands, they could only get the money if they curried favor with him. Only with money could the two of them live a happy life.
Liu Jinbao was just a tool to please Old Master Liu. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have stopped comforting Liu Jinbao after he fell out of favor. Instead, they tried their utmost to find problems where there were none.
The servants in the residence saw it.
Thinking of something, Manager Liu continued, “As for the letters you’ve sent back in the past few years, Old Master didn’t even look at them before asking me to burn them.”
Liu Jinbao’s face turned pale. What he firmly believed in was shattered at this moment.
That’s right. It wasn’t that he hadn’t contacted his family in the past few years. Back then, he had run away from home in a fit of pique, but after experiencing a cruel war and seeing life and death, the injustice in his heart had long dissipated. Moreover, he had gone to the battlefield to prove that he wasn’t a useless young master who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
Therefore, the moment he received the reward, not only did he inform his family that he was safe, but he also sent the reward back to the Liu family.
Although the rewards given to him were not much, it was given by the emperor himself. It naturally could not be measured by real money.
However, he was disappointed. Not only did he not receive any replies, his subsequent letters were all ignored.
He thought that it was because his grandfather looked down on his position as an apprentice in a weapons smithy, so he wanted to work harder and wait until the day he could return to his hometown.
Unexpectedly, it was not that his grandfather looked down on him, but that he did not want him anymore.
What Liu Jinbao didn’t know was that regardless of whether it was the letter he wrote or the reward he sent back, the item was privately withheld when it reached Manager Liu’s hands. It didn’t reach the Liu family at all.
Manager Liu had watched Liu Jinbao grow up and knew him best. As long as Old Master Liu didn’t ask him to come back, he wouldn’t go home even if he starved to death outside.
Even if Liu Jinbao really came back one day, the Liu family would have changed. He couldn’t change anything.
However, he did not expect Liu Jinbao to come back at such a critical moment.
He didn’t suspect that the people around him had betrayed him. He just thought that Liu Jinbao had suffered outside and couldn’t take it anymore.
Seeing that Liu Jinbao did not suspect anything, Manager Liu sighed pretentiously. “It’s not that I’m deliberately targeting you. The old master has said that you’re not allowed to step into the Liu residence again. The old master’s health is not good to begin with. I don’t dare to let you in and offend him. If anything happens to him because he got too angry…
He seemed to be unable to continue. He shook his head and took off the pouch at his waist. “After all, I’ve served you once. Take this money. You can survive for a while if you save some money. Don’t make things difficult for us servants here.”
His father was gone, and his grandfather, who had doted on him since he was young, didn’t want her anymore. He suffered consecutive blows in a day. Liu Jinbao couldn’t think of anything else now.
However, Song Jinghuan was different. From the moment she saw Manager Liu, she felt that something was wrong. Coupled with what Manager Liu had said just now and the current situation in the Liu residence, she had basically guessed the cause and effect.
She pursed her lips and quietly whispered something in the servant’s ear. After the servant left, she nudged Liu Jinbao, who was still immersed in grief.. “Do you still want to see your grandfather?”
