3418 Help Them Out

Tang Xing was relieved. He really didn’t want to work and wanted to focus on studying so that he could avenge his parents with his future success.

“Okay, sister, I won’t betray you. Of course, words are not enough. Time will prove everything. Given your ability, it should be easy for you to deal with us siblings,” Tang Xing said. He clearly knew that promises meant nothing without actions and he didn’t expect Leng Xiaoyao to believe him just because he promised. He wanted to prove it with his actions over time.

Leng Xiaoyao was very satisfied with Tang Xing’s reply. She believed that she didn’t misjudge people. If she did, then it was her who made the wrong choice!

She wasn’t someone who couldn’t admit her mistakes.

Soon, Tang Ning woke up and became frightened when she saw the strangers including Leng Xiaoyao.

Tang Xing immediately comforted her. “Don’t be afraid, Ning. They are all kind sisters who bought us congee. You must be hungry, so eat some congee first.”

Tang Ning’s eyes lit up and she eagerly ate congee.

When Tang Xing scooped the porridge and brought it to her mouth, Tang Ning didn’t immediately eat it. Instead, she looked at Leng Xiaoyao and politely said, “Thank you, sister.”

That made everyone feel that Tang Ning was a very well-mannered child so they felt more affection for her.

“You’re welcome. Eat now! After you finish, I’ll take you both to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up,” Leng Xiaoyao said gently.

After Tang Ning finished eating and regained some strength, Leng Xiaoyao was ready to take them away.

“Sister, please wait a second. I have something to give you,” Tang Xing said.

“What is it?” Leng Xiaoyao was surprised.

“Wait for me. I’ll go dig it up.” Tang Xing got up, went out the door, and started digging under a big tree in the yard with a stick.

Everyone was curious about what Tang Xing was digging up, but they respected him and didn’t gather around.

After about twenty minutes, Tang Xing dug out a ten-inch cloth bag and brought it to Leng Xiaoyao before opening it.

Inside the cloth bag was a wooden box emitting a scent of sandalwood. Leng Xiaoyao could tell at a glance that it was made of rosewood.

Rosewood was expensive. This box alone was worth tens of thousands yuan!

Tang Xing had such a good thing. Why didn’t he sell it?

When Tang Xing opened the box, Leng Xiaoyao was even more surprised to see a pile of jewelry inside. There should be about eight pieces.

Leng Xiaoyao was shocked and blurted out. “Since you have these things, why don’t you sell them? You can have a good life with your sister by selling just one of them! You can even rebuild your house by selling them all.”

The others were also confused.

“B-Because I’m too scared. Last year, I took a bracelet to sell and was followed by someone. He robbed me of it. I was followed for a while after that, so I dared not take them out again. I forgot about them until just now.” Tang Xing didn’t dare to take risks anymore because he was afraid that they wouldn’t be able to survive if something bad happened to them.

He wasn’t afraid for himself but for his sister’s safety.

Leng Xiaoyao thought about it and agreed that Tang Xing was too young to handle this alone. If bad people targeted them, they could easily be harmed.

“I’ll help you sell them. These things can solve your food, clothing, shelter, and university education needs. You can even rebuild your house by selling them all.” Since they had these things, they could live better on their own and didn’t need to feel indebted to her.

Tang Xing looked terrified and said, “Sister, we’re afraid and we want to live with you. I want to give you these things and ask you to take us in and let us live with you. Don’t worry, my sister and I are well-behaved. We can take care of ourselves and will try to not bother you. We’re afraid that when the house is built, our uncle will come and… ”

As soon as Tang Xing thought of his uncle, his face turned pale with fear.

Tang Ning burst into tears and said, “I’m afraid of our uncle. I’m afraid of our uncle…”

The moment she heard that, Leng Xiaoyao sensed that something wasn’t right.

“What’s wrong with your uncle?” Leng Xiaoyao asked seriously.

“In order to steal our family property, our uncle turned my grandfather into a vegetable, framed my father, and our whole family was driven back to the old house, but even so, our uncle didn’t let us go. Three years ago, he even had someone set fire to the old house. My parents were burned to death trying to save us. These things were originally left by my grandmother as a dowry for my aunt, but she disappeared when she was in her teens. We don’t know if she’s alive or dead. My father said that I could sell them when I was in trouble, but I have to be careful not to let bad people take them away.” Tang Xing said with a thick hatred in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill his uncle.

Leng Xiaoyao was also mad.

An Chenmeng directly scolded angrily. “This is too hateful. How can there be such a cruel uncle in the world?”

“They should go to hell!” Xiong Manxin was furious too.

“There are many people like him. It’s not uncommon, but it’s really hateful,” Leng Xiaoyao said. She then asked Tang Xing, “What is your uncle’s current power?”

No matter how powerful the Tang family was, she wasn’t afraid. Since she promised to take care of Tang Xing and his sister, she would naturally see it through to the end.

However, Tang Xing thought that Leng Xiaoyao was afraid that the Tang family would threaten her and might not help them. It made him feel a little lost, but he didn’t blame Leng Xiaoyao.

After all, he had no right to demand that Leng Xiaoyao take risks for them. The fact that she could help them was already a great kindness.

“The Tang family is a third-rate wealthy family in the capital city, and they are involved in industries all over the country,” Tang Xing said. Although he hoped to get Leng Xiaoyao’s help, he didn’t want to drag her into trouble, so he said, “Sister, if you’re worried that we’ll cause trouble for you, you don’t have to take care of us. Just help us sell these things and we’ll only take half of the money. You can take the other half as the repayment.”

“A third-rate wealthy family is nothing in my eyes! I’ve even offended a first-rate aristocratic family. They couldn’t do anything to me either. Don’t worry! Since I said I’ll take care of you, I’ll definitely see it through to the end. Even if there’s trouble, I can handle it. Even if I can’t handle it, my… friends can handle it.” The word ‘boyfriend’ almost slipped out of Leng Xiaoyao’s mouth, but she immediately changed her words when she remembered that An Chenmeng and the others didn’t know about it yet.
