Chapter 363 - 63: It’s Not Easy to Be a Sheng Family Daughter-in-Law (Part 3)
Tang Yanqi pursed her lips, giving a self-deprecating smile: "I’m not that irrational. I’ll find an opportunity to tell him, to tell him everything. If he trusts me, he can rescue my mom at the first moment. I know Tang Ruhai too well. All his eyes are on the Sheng Family. The moment there’s any movement here, if he senses it, and if he can’t find my mom immediately, given Tang Ruhai’s character, he won’t let her go. So, I can only do this."
Bai Bing listened, her heart aching, and she gripped Tang Yanqi’s hand tightly: "I really don’t know how there can be such a scumbag in this world. After all, you’re his daughter, and considering he... and your mom... Ugh, forget it, scumbags show up every year, but this year they seem particularly numerous."
"The tragedy of the Tang Family was caused by my mother. I will do everything possible to make amends, but even if my mom is guilty, it should be the law that punishes her, not the Tang Family."
"Wait, what... what do you mean by this?"
Tang Yanqi’s face was a bit unsightly, but she still recounted to Bai Bing, word by word, the things her mother had done and the source of the Tang Family’s tragedy.
Bai Bing listened in shock; these were things they hadn’t known before.
"So, I am the daughter of a murderer."
Invisibly, Bai Bing felt as though another shackle was added to the person before her, and as a friend, her heart ached impossibly.
She reached out and hugged Tang Yanqi: "Everything will be fine, everything will get better."
"Yes, it will be fine."
In the past, when she said this, Tang Yanqi was just deceiving herself. But now, she truly believed that everything would get better. Even the things she never believed in had happened, so what was impossible anymore?
Sheng Jianan had feelings for her, something she wouldn’t have dared to imagine before. Isn’t it happening now?
"And also, Tangtang, what are you going to do about the fifty million?"
Bai Bing didn’t think Tang Yanqi would seek help from Sheng Jianan, but the amount was enormous, not something a regular person could easily access.
"Don’t worry, I have a way."
Bai Bing opened her mouth, then closed it. She wanted to tell her to speak up if she was in trouble, but the words got swallowed. She had no confidence to say such things. Everything else was manageable, but money was such a matter that she couldn’t help with, after all, she was just an ordinary college student.
Five hundred was doable, five thousand could be painstakingly gathered, but fifty million...
Bai Bing tightened her grip on Tang Yanqi’s hand, and the two girls exchanged a glance, suddenly breaking into laughter.
Friends, in many situations, may not genuinely be able to help much. Still, their mere existence can constantly remind you that you are not alone in this world.
After talking with Bai Bing, the two of them walked into the kitchen to do some prep work, washing and chopping the ingredients for the dishes Tang Yanqi wanted to make. They chatted and laughed as if nothing had happened just moments ago.
Once they were prepared, Tang Yanqi and Bai Bing went out together, one heading to the airport, the other back to school.
Tang Yanqi didn’t tell Sheng Jianan she was going to meet him, not to act mysteriously and surprise him, but because she was so befuddled by his "I’m comforting you" comment that she forgot to say it.
Later, when she called, his phone was already off. Based on Sheng Jianan’s boarding time, she checked the flight number. It wasn’t delayed, and barring any surprises, the plane would land in half an hour.
Tang Yanqi thought she had everything covered, except she didn’t account for the accident at the airport highway exit today. What was originally a three-lane road became two lanes, causing traffic to jam suddenly.
