Chapter 102 Tang Wei's Disappointment
Noon the next day.
Zhonghai University.
Having just finished their first class and used the restroom, sisters Zheng Yulu and Zheng Yumeng came out and waited for Tang Wei outside.
"My brother hasn't been staying at Aiyuan for two days in a row~"
Zheng Yu pouted and spoke to her sister with a hint of resentment.
"Love Home" is the name they gave to the apartment, meaning that everyone came together because of fate, and it is a house full of love.
"He's probably busy."
Zheng Yumeng raised an eyebrow, her gaze towards her younger sister filled with complex emotions, and she couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart.
This girl seems to have her heart truly tied to her brother. It's only been two days since they last met, and she keeps talking about him. She even sneaked into his room to sleep last night, and I wouldn't have known if I hadn't run into her in the hallway this morning.
At this time.
Just then, a pair of boys walked across the street from the opposite side.
"Hey, isn't that my brother's roommate?"
Upon seeing Li Mingfeng and Liao Kun, Zheng Yumeng raised an eyebrow and whispered something.
Zheng Yulu looked over, then suddenly remembered something, frowned and whispered, "By the way, sister, I found something in brother's car the day before yesterday. It was Li Mingfeng's IOU."
"An IOU?" Zheng Yumeng was taken aback, but then shrugged and said, "Maybe it's because I'm graduating soon and there's pressure to find a job."
Zheng Yulu quickly shook her head and said, "No, he borrowed money to play games, and it was 20,000 yuan!"
"Twenty thousand? For gaming?"
Zheng Yumeng was immediately shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She had only ever seen such things online; this was the first time she had ever encountered someone in real life borrowing money to play games, and borrowing so much at that!
Twenty thousand yuan is enough for a family in the countryside to live on for a whole year!
Realizing what was happening, Zheng Yumeng hurriedly said, "You absolutely mustn't let Weiwei know about this! If she finds out, she'll probably go crazy!"
"Yes, that's why I haven't said anything." Zheng Yulu nodded immediately, her eyes filled with worry and her tone with sympathy. She sighed, "I really don't know whether to say Weiwei is lucky or unlucky. To be raised by her adoptive parents at such a young age should have been a blessing, but unexpectedly, she ended up with this brother from the same family. Sigh..."
As Li Mingfeng and Liao Kun drew closer, the two sisters' eyes were filled with sympathy for Tang Wei.
And this moment.
Tang Wei, who was standing behind the two sisters, had overheard their entire conversation, and her expression suddenly changed.
Li Mingfeng actually borrowed 20,000 yuan from his brother just to play games?
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue that struck her heart.
She was even secretly relieved that she had borrowed it from her brother.
But at the same time, she was also annoyed, wondering why she had to ask her brother when she could have asked someone else.
I already owe you too many favors.
But Li Mingfeng still secretly borrowed money from him.
Twenty thousand yuan!
Even if I worked part-time for two years, I might not be able to save up such a large sum of money.
So, just to top up his game account, he casually lent out the money?
Without a doubt, if he couldn't repay this money, Li Mingfeng would definitely come after him in the end!
Over the years, at least half of the money she earned from her various part-time jobs went to Li Mingfeng!
He always has a reason.
Although she was fostered by the Li family, her adoptive parents were more grateful for her upbringing than for giving birth to her. She was genuinely grateful to her parents for their kindness in raising her, and naturally, she extended that gratitude to Li Mingfeng as well.
Even knowing that Amu would make her marry Li Mingfeng once she reached the legal age, she had no complaints.
Consider this my way of repaying him in this lifetime.
As long as he doesn't commit any heinous crimes, even if he's a bit of a scoundrel, immature, and playful, she can accept him.
Over the years, although I have occasionally felt resentful and indignant.
But she always manages to process it on her own.
She always believed that if her mother hadn't agreed to let her father adopt her, she might have already died.
Throughout the extra years she lived, she always held fast to her beliefs and lived for the Li family!
Upon hearing the information revealed by Zheng Yulu, Tang Wei's eyes flickered slightly. Her heart felt like it had been pinched, a sharp, stabbing pain. She felt as if she were dying.
Disappointment, helplessness, and pessimism instantly filled her, making her want to scream.
But thinking of her father's apologetic eyes and her mother's increasingly aged face due to hard work, she forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and then walked towards the Zheng sisters as if nothing had happened, patting them on the shoulder.
"I'm here. Let's go. Sorry to keep you waiting."
Tang Wei smiled naturally, as if she hadn't heard the two sisters' whispers at all.
Zheng Yumeng and Zheng Yulu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a hint of panic, but they quickly calmed down. They looked at Tang Wei tentatively, their eyes unnatural, and said, "Okay, let's go. I heard yesterday that there's a second-year student in Business Administration who seems to be looking to rent a place. I heard she does live streaming. I've already got her contact information. Shall we try going to see her today?"
Tang Wei nodded and said, "Okay, I've found one too, but she's a junior in college. She's already decided to rent a place, and I've arranged to take her to see the apartment at noon today."
Looking at her sister and Tang Wei, Zheng Yulu felt a little discouraged and said with a bitter face, "You guys are so amazing, I didn't find a single one."
Tang Wei smiled and said gently, "Don't rush, Lulu, you're still too shy in front of strangers. Be brave and take the initiative to strike up a conversation. If you see someone in the group who wants to rent a room, add them as a friend and ask. You can also post more messages in the group."
Zheng Yulu stuck out her tongue and said awkwardly, "I'm afraid people will find me annoying..."
Seeing this, Tang Wei and Zheng Yumeng exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.
At this moment, Li Mingfeng and Liao Kun had already walked over.
Seeing that she couldn't avoid a confrontation, Zheng Yumeng was about to speak to Tang Wei.
Tang Wei, however, turned her head very naturally, grabbed the two sisters' hands, and left in the opposite direction from Li Mingfeng and Liao Kun.
"Eh..." Zheng Yulu was about to speak, but was stopped by a look from Zheng Yumeng.
"How about this, whichever of the three of us brings in the client, we'll split the commission equally. What do you say?" Tang Wei pretended not to know anything and didn't even see Li Mingfeng's expression as she suggested to the Zheng sisters with a smile.
"How can that be? Wouldn't that be me taking advantage of you?" Zheng Yulu hurriedly waved her hand.
And then...
Liao Kun nudged Li Mingfeng on the shoulder, pointed at the backs of Tang Wei and the other two, and said, "Fengzi, isn't that your little wife? Why didn't she say hello to you?"
Li Mingfeng raised an eyebrow and said impatiently, "Who knows about her? Didn't you see her? Also, don't talk about her being my wife in front of me. I get annoyed just seeing her. Besides, you know I like Su Xiaoyan."
Li Mingfeng's eyes showed impatience. If it weren't for Tang Wei being able to earn money and giving him a lot of pocket money every month, he would have had his mother kick her out long ago!
