Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss Chapter 1199: 1198 has nothing to do with you.

Chapter 1199: 1198 has nothing to do with you.

Liang Lu said indignantly, “Tan Rou, don’t stop me. Today, I’m going to seek justice for my mother!”

But Tan Rou said, “Hitting them will only have negative consequences for you. This is a hospital; there are surveillance cameras everywhere. The person causing trouble behind the scenes hasn’t shown up yet. If you get into trouble first, the one who’ll be unlucky is you.”

Liang Lu struggled internally for a moment and eventually lowered her hand. She said weakly, “So what should I do then? Am I really supposed to give them the money?”

“Hmph!” Tan Rou snorted and said, “Although you also carry the Liang surname now, you have no relation to the Liang Family anymore. Your household registration is under the names of your adoptive parents, which means these two can’t be considered your grandparents.”

Liang Lu was stunned, “Is that true?”

Tan Rou nodded and said, “Our country’s laws stipulate that once a child is adopted by adoptive parents, they have no relations.h.i.+p with their biological parents on the household register. As long as the biological parents haven’t fulfilled their parental duties, when the child grows up, the biological parents can’t demand that the child provide for them.”

Guo Xia still harbored wishful thinking, “But we are not her parents; we are her grandparents. She should provide for us.”

Tan Rou added, sarcastically, “It’s laughable. You don’t even acknowledge the status of her biological parents; what do you, as the grandparents, count for? The law also stipulates that if your other children are still alive and capable of providing for you, then you can’t ask your granddaughter to do so.”

“Why not?” Liang Guo could no longer sit still. He climbed out of the bed and quickly walked up to Tan Rou and the others, “We are related by blood. Even if the bone is broken, the sinews still connect. She must provide for us, otherwise, I’ll sue her and ensure her company can’t continue operating!”

“Of course, that’s possible,” Tan Rou generously said, “I know many excellent lawyers. If you need to sue and can’t find a good lawyer, I can introduce you to some. However, you’ll have to pay the lawyer fees yourself, which is about twenty percent of the amount you’re suing for. If you’re asking for 500,000, then you’ll have to pay the lawyer 100,000.”

Liang Guo immediately fell silent. He hadn’t even gotten the 500,000 yet, and they were asking him to pay 100,000 to a lawyer? How could he be willing to do that?

Guo Xia said, “Old man, don’t be scared. This girl must be deceiving us. We won’t use the lawyer she recommends. We’ll find a better lawyer. Let’s go to Boss Zhou and ask him for help.”

Tan Rou heard the name of a crucial figure—Boss Zhou. Could he be the one who brought Liang Guo and the others to the Capital?

“What’s your relations.h.i.+p with him, and why would Boss Zhou help you?” Tan Rou asked, maintaining her composure, “There’s no such thing as a free lunch. You might think Boss Zhou is a good person now, but what if his goal is also money? Will you give it to him?”

When it came to money, Guo Xia and Liang Guo would hesitate. They had considered whether Boss Zhou was after their money, but Boss Zhou had already said that he was only sympathetic to the plight of the two elderly people and wanted to help them without expecting money in return.

Guo Xia and Liang Guo were initially worried, but after they arrived in the Capital, Boss Zhou treated them very well. He not only arranged for them to stay in a luxury hotel but also secured the best private hospital and a single-person ward for Liang Guo, which made them believe that Boss Zhou must be a good person, and they lowered their guard.

“Impossible, Boss Zhou is a good person. He arranged our accommodation and took care of us, so he can’t be a bad person,” Guo Xia insisted.

Tan Rou was at a loss for words. It was no wonder that there were frequent news reports of elderly people being scammed; many elderly were too easily deceived. A little bit of kindness, and they were taken advantage of by swindlers.

“Since you think Boss Zhou is a good person, why hasn’t he taken you home to be his parents?” Tan Rou said mockingly, “If you’re going to be kind, you should follow through. Call him now, and I’ll bear witness for you. From now on, he can be your son.”

Guo Xia’s face turned extremely ugly. “He’s not related to us by blood…”

Tan Rou didn’t let her finish, “If there’s no relations.h.i.+p, then why involve himself in your affairs? Does he have that much free time?”
