Chapter 122 Tang Wei Awakens

Wow!

Ning Xiuyang remained calm in the face of Shen Youyou's questioning.

Tang Wei and the three Zheng sisters, however, all wore expressions of disbelief.

Obviously.

Shen Youyou's sudden "showdown" surprised and shocked them.

When did her brother humiliate her?

Also, did Youyou promise her brother? Promised what?

How come nobody knows anything?

Tang Wei and Zheng Yumeng were fine, with expressions of complete spectator enjoyment, but Zheng Yulu's expression showed obvious surprise and panic, with a hint of jealousy hidden in her eyes.

The group exchanged glances, first looking at Shen Youyou, then turning their heads in unison to fix their gazes on Ning Xiuyang.

Ning Xiuyang smiled faintly and said, "First of all, that's not an excuse, and secondly, I didn't humiliate you."

"It's just a game, why take it so seriously?"

Shen Youyou was stunned.

She had considered that if she pressed him for an explanation, Ning Xiuyang might come up with various reasons to explain yesterday's "misunderstanding."

But I didn't expect him to be so direct.

Not an excuse?

In other words, I've already offered him a way out, but he doesn't even want to give me the dignity to back down?

But then, she suddenly realized something, stared intently at Ning Xiuyang, pursed her lips, and said, word by word, "You're saying that wasn't an excuse, which means you were serious about what you said before the truth or dare game?"

wrong.

Shen Youyou's mind raced. Perhaps he hadn't chosen dare, but truth instead?

Tell yourself the truth?

Thinking of this, before Ning Xiuyang could speak, she frowned and said, "Even so, why didn't you come to see me all day?"

"I've already opened my heart and am ready to accept your presence, can't you be a little more proactive?"

Ning Xiuyang raised an eyebrow, looking at Shen Youyou, who was emotional and whose eyes were beginning to redden slightly, and felt a sense of satisfaction.

The woman who once looked down on him for being a homebody is now starting to put aside her pride and begin to move towards submission.

"Sit down and eat."

In front of the Zheng sisters and Tang Wei, Ning Xiuyang did not intend to express his opinion. He simply waved his hand, signaling Shen Youyou to sit down and eat.

Shen Youyou was still somewhat unwilling and wanted to say something more.

But Ning Xiuyang glared at her, and she swallowed back the words she was about to say. With a slightly aggrieved expression, she pulled out a chair and sat down.

[Note: Shen Youyou's bond level with you has increased to 69 points (dependency)!]

After she sat down, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

It was Tang Wei who took the initiative to break the awkward atmosphere.

"Brother, how's Li Mingfeng doing lately? Has he... asked you for money?" Tang Wei handed a bowl of peeled shrimp to Ning Xiuyang, hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to ask directly.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Yulu's face immediately showed a hint of panic.

Zheng Yumeng was also startled.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, each assuming the other had revealed the secret.

Ning Xiuyang's heart skipped a beat. This matter had finally reached Tang Wei's ears. However, on the surface, he still pretended to be unaware and said, "That's fine. Why did he ask me for money?"

As they were talking, Ning Xiuyang finished off the crayfish that Tang Wei had peeled in just a few bites.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Tang Wei was momentarily stunned.

But now that she'd brought it up, she decided not to hide it anymore. Instead, she stared at Zheng Yulu and said, "Lulu, I heard what you and Mengmeng were saying outside the school restroom. Didn't you say that Li Mingfeng borrowed 20,000 yuan from Brother Guan, and that he used it for gaming?"

Zheng Yulu blushed and panicked immediately. Her eyes darted around, and she stammered, unable to say anything. She could only look to Ning Xiuyang for help.

Ning Xiuyang then revealed a hint of 'dissatisfaction,' glaring at Zheng Yulu and saying, 'Lulu, didn't I tell you not to let anyone know?'

"I..." Zheng Yulu lowered her head.

Ning Xiuyang looked at Tang Wei with a helpless expression and comforted her, "Weiwei, don't worry, this money has nothing to do with you. It's just that he was my roommate after all, and he insisted on borrowing money from me. I couldn't refuse. I asked the class monitor to be a witness so that I could persuade him not to spend the money on the game, but he still wanted it. I had no choice but to make him write down the purpose of the loan."

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether he pays back the money or not. We've been roommates, and it's yours... Well, I heard from Lulu and the others that you two are engaged since childhood. Consider this money a gift from me to you."

A hint of regret and pity flashed in Ning Xiuyang's eyes, a mixture of reluctance and helplessness at having to let go.

talking.

He immediately found the IOU and was about to tear it up in front of Tang Wei.

"Wait!"

Tang Wei immediately cried out.

[Note: Tang Wei's bond level with you has increased to 75 points (Intimacy)!]

Ning Xiuyang looked at her with a feigned incomprehension and asked, "What's wrong?"

Tang Wei pursed her lips, a helpless expression on her face, but a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ning Xiuyang and said, "Brother, thank you so much for helping me!"

"Don't tear up the IOU. I understand how good you are to me, brother. Twenty thousand yuan is indeed a huge sum for me. I know you only agreed to Li Mingfeng's request because of me!"

"Actually, I think... my marriage with him might not be a valid plan!"

"I am grateful to his parents for raising me, and I always believed that as long as I worked hard enough, as long as my efforts were worthwhile, they would eventually see that Li Mingfeng would grow up one day. But only now do I realize that I have given enough, but they will never understand that Li Mingfeng will never grow up!"

"I think I am, after all, a person, a person with my own thoughts."

"I'll pay this money for him; it's a way of repaying the kindness I showed his parents, and also a way of severing all ties with him!"

"Brother, from now on... I want to live for myself!"

Tang Wei took the IOU from Ning Xiuyang, her voice tinged with emotion, her eyes reddening. After speaking, she bowed deeply to Ning Xiuyang.

Then, she looked at the Zheng sisters and Shen Youyou.

"Mengmeng, Lulu, Youyou, and my brother, we haven't known each other for long, but it wasn't until I met you that I gradually emerged from that family. Your daily advice and guidance finally pulled me back on the right track. Thank you all!"

Tang Wei bowed to everyone again to express her gratitude.

"Weiwei..."

"It's so good that you understand!"

"..."

All three looked at Tang Wei with delight.

Tang Wei's face was solemn, her eyes filled with regret and helplessness. She sighed, "If it weren't for you, I might have really gone down a dark path to repay your kindness. I understand many things, but being in this family, I have no choice in many things. After all, you are the family that raised me, how could I bear to..."

Ning Xiuyang interrupted her, saying seriously, "It's true that the debt of gratitude for raising children is greater than heaven, but we've all seen what you've done, and we can imagine what kind of people they are. To be honest, you've already done a great job. There's no need to sacrifice your youth or even your whole life. At worst, you can just be more filial to your adoptive parents when they get old. Li Mingfeng himself is a disappointment; after he passes away, they won't blame you!"
