C109 (1/2)
She didn't know how long he stood at the window until the distant horizon gradually turned white. Only then did she realize that she had actually stood at the window for an entire night.
She rubbed her throbbing temples. After she sent Huanhuan away, she still had to go to the hospital to visit Su Dong. Thus, she decided not to sleep.
To prevent her from losing her spirits, she changed into her outdoor clothes and went out to the kitchen, where she made herself a cup of black coffee as she prepared breakfast for the three of them.
Tang Banyeng's house had everything he needed. Even though he only stayed here for a few days of the year, the coffee machine he was provided with was still the most professional.
He held the cup of warm coffee in his hand as a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Look, a cup of coffee can tell the difference between her and Tang Banyan so clearly.
To her, the occasional cup of Starbucks was a luxury, but he was able to spare the expensive coffee machine and the beans.
She was still worried about her rent, not daring to slack off, afraid that she would stop. Her dream was to work hard and try to save up a single apartment in the next few years, but he could not leave her in such a good location.
Before Cinderella married Prince Charming, at least she had been born into a wealthy family and had interacted with the upper class. But as for her, from the moment she was born, she had always struggled in the vicinity of the well-off line.
Some relatives once said proudly, ”Our family has entered a well-off situation, while yours is not even well-off yet. Warm up, you have to work hard and try your best to enter a well-off situation as soon as possible!”
In other people's eyes, their family was just a synonym for destitute and destitute, not even on the level of a well-off family, not to mention a small fortune or a middle class. But Tang Banyeng was the president of the Tang clan, and the Tang clan was one of the top great clans within the country's upper class society.
One of them was on the ground while the other was in the sky. Even if they ended up together, once the 'like' that Tang Bai Feng had spoken of slowly faded away, where would she be? Was she supposed to shamelessly stay in the Tang clan? Or was it to pack up his dignity, straighten his back, and leave arrogantly?
Regardless of the outcome, he was sure that this was not what he wanted.
After drinking a cup of bitter coffee, she made a decision in her heart. Since she was so clear about the price she would have to pay in the beginning, then she might as well not start.
She didn't even need to open her mouth to say anything. As long as she kept her distance from him, it would be fine, and with his status, he wouldn't look for her again.
After convincing herself so much, a huge burden had finally dropped from her heart. She didn't know if this could be considered a happy thing, but at least she felt a lot more relaxed now.
”Sis, why are you up so early?” Su Huanhuan led the already neatly dressed Ding Ding to the kitchen door. The mother and son pair stared at each other with much similarity in their eyes.
”Didn't you say that you would bring Ding Ding back? I can't let you go hungry!” He then walked over to Ding Ding and squatted down. He stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his heart, ”Ding Ding, when you and your mother go home later, remember to be obedient, okay?”
Ding Ding obediently nodded her head, and crisply responded, ”Okay.”
Nikki stood up again and pointed to the fried eggs, toast and milk on the table. ”You guys hurry up and eat. After you're done, I'll call a car to take you back!”
”Sis, you don't have to be busy. We can go back by ourselves!”
”Don't worry, I won't go in. I'll send you guys to a nearby place, then I'll get off the car and have the driver drive you to your house!”
Su Huanhuan smiled. She was not worried about the Chen family members feeling uncomfortable. She was more worried that they would vent their anger on Su Wangyou. She did not want him to suffer such grievances.
After Su Huanhuan and her son finished their meal, Su Wangliang did as she said, sending them to the village entrance before leaving. Fortunately, the village entrance was easier to call out to. She only waited a few minutes before taking a taxi to the hospital.
After arriving at the hospital, Nikki did not immediately go to the ward to visit Su Dong. Instead, she went to the main doctor's office to inquire about Su Dong's condition.
