Upon hearing this, all the property owners present grew excited, as these terms were dozens of tis better than those previously proposed by the Ma Family, and no one would refuse such a good deal.
"Wait a minute!" Chen Shuang’er suddenly raised her hand in conflict, saying with difficulty:
"Can my family’s house not be demolished?"
"Why is that, do you despise my terms?"
Li Xiangui slightly furrowed his brows, and if it hadn’t been for Tang Ming’s sake, he definitely wouldn’t have offered such terms.
"I’m aware of this situation."
Tang Ming imdiately spoke up, explaining that the Chen sisters’ house had undergone special modifications and could not be rebuilt, and that Chen Fei’er’s health could not adapt to another environnt.
"So that’s how it is." Seeing Tang Ming speaking up, Li Xiangui busied himself looking at so blueprints for a while, then laughed:
"Rest assured, the Chen’s house is conveniently located at the foot of the hill. I was originally planning to build a villa complex in that area anyway, now we can just remodel the Chen’s house into a villa without demolishing it."
"That’s wonderful!" Hearing this, Chen Shuang’er jumped up excitedly, hugging Xia Wei’er and saying enviously:
"Wei’er, your boyfriend is really capable, I’m so jealous!"
The other property owners also praised him, everyone knew that Tang Ming was Xia Wei’er’s boyfriend, and that he was doing these things out of consideration for Xia Wei’er.
Xia Wei’er, flushed all over, bowed her head and avoided making eye contact with Tang Ming, thinking bitterly:
"If only he really was my boyfriend, but unfortunately..."
After so discussion, Tang Ming handed the following matters over to Li Xiangui, and he and Xia Wei’er returned to school for class.
On the way, Xia Wei’er walked beside Tang Ming and said shyly:
"Tang Ming, thank you so much."
"We’re all friends, why be formal?" Tang Ming smiled casually.
Hearing this, Xia Wei’er felt a bit disappointed, regretting in her mind:
"Just friends? Does that an he did all this not because he likes ?"
At that mont, Xia Wei’er’s feelings were complex. Initially, when she first t Tang Ming, she thought he had improper intentions towards her, as he was always helping her, which made her always cautious around Tang Ming. But after spending so much ti together, she realized that Tang Ming didn’t seem to have any other feelings towards her, while she, on the other hand, beca increasingly dependent on him. This made her unsure if Tang Ming was playing hard to get or truly had no feelings for her.
After agonizing for a long ti, upon reaching the school gate, Xia Wei’er mustered her courage, looked at Tang Ming, and said:
"I, I’ll treat you to a al? You’ve done so much for ; consider it my way of saying thanks."
"Sure."
Tang Ming rubbed his stomach; he was really feeling hungry after a long ordeal.
Before Tang Ming could speak again, Xia Wei’er rushed into the school, not looking back as she shouted:
"After school, I’ll co to find you. Don’t be absent."
"Hey hey, why after school? Can’t we do it now?"
Tang Ming watched Xia Wei’er’s retreating figure sorrowfully, puzzled about why she ran off. Could it be that she knew he was hungry now and was trying to save so money?
Since class had already started, Tang Ming went alone to the cafeteria and had a big al before leisurely returning to his class.
Entering the class, Tang Ming saw Zhou Dafu with a bruised and swollen face, looking pitifully at him.
"What happened?" After sitting down, Tang Ming imdiately asked Zhou Dafu:
"Did soone from the Zhou family give you trouble?"
"No," Zhou Dafu hurriedly shook his head, looking apprehensively at the front:
"It was Li Xiaoli who beat up like this."
"Huh?" Tang Ming blinked in confusion and asked,
"Why did she hit you?"
"After lunch break, she asked where you went, and I didn’t tell her, then she started to interrogate harshly."
Zhou Dafu said with a pitiful face, "I’m not the kind of person who would betray a friend, but she hit and then..."
"Are you dumb? Just tell her if she asks you," Tang Ming rolled his eyes but was touched inside that the fatty didn’t betray him.
"Cough cough, later I told her," Zhou Dafu smiled awkwardly, and said with embarrassnt:
"I thought since you guys are friends, even if she ca to know that you were helping Xia Wei’er, it shouldn’t matter. Besides, she was really hitting , so I confessed."
Hearing this, Tang Ming’s face was full of black lines, his earlier touch turning instantly into an urge to kick the fatty to death.
Tang Ming glanced guiltily at Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli, then noticed that both girls were staring at him with unfriendly eyes.
"I’m so sleepy!" Tang Ming yawned and imdiately laid his head down on the desk to sleep, since it was class ti and the girls weren’t going to bother him anyway.
To Tang Ming’s surprise, Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli didn’t co to trouble him all afternoon, which relaxed his mood quite a bit.
After school, Xia Wei’er indeed appeared at the classroom door.
Tang Ming walked over to Liu ngting and said calmly:
"I helped Xia Wei’er with a small matter earlier, and she’s inviting to dinner as a thank you, you guys go ho first."
Since the female assassin had now moved into the residential area, Tang Ming wasn’t worried about anything.
"Oh." Liu ngting nodded while packing her things.
"Enjoy your date, Tang Ming brother, after all, even a bodyguard needs to date,"
Li Xiaoli humd weirdly.
"It’s not..." Tang Ming wanted to explain but then thought:
"Do I need to explain to them? But their reactions are a bit odd, really puzzling."
With confusion, Tang Ming left the classroom, and left with Xia Wei’er.
"Quick, quick, quick!" As soon as Tang Ming stepped out, Li Xiaoli quickly packed her belongings and excitedly said:
"I told you they would definitely have plans tonight; we absolutely mustn’t miss it."
"Li Xiaoli, are we really going to follow them?"
Liu ngting quickly packed her stuff and said reluctantly, "Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"
"Stop pretending, I saw you prepare the mask and sunglasses," Li Xiaoli rolled her eyes at Liu ngting, then pulled out a jacket from her backpack, dragging Liu ngting out: "It was dayti before, they couldn’t do much. Now they’re going to have dinner, candlelight dinner, drink a little wine, who knows, maybe they’ll go to a hotel afterward."
"Stop talking, hurry up and follow." Hearing this, Liu ngting quickly put on sunglasses and a mask and hurried after her.
"Hey, the world war is about to start!" Zhou Dafu exclaid, smartly choosing not to intervene in this situation, fearing he’d end up as collateral damage.
Although Xia Wei’er’s family wasn’t well-off, to express her gratitude to Tang Ming, she invited him to a sowhat upscale maid-thed buffet steak place in the snack street because Tang Ming ate so much that Xia Wei’er couldn’t afford anything else.
"Not bad, not bad, this is a new buffet, huh."
After they found a table by the window and sat down, Tang Ming nodded with satisfaction and said eagerly, "Let’s see how the taste is in a minute. If it’s good, I’ll co here often."
