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.
These two days, there had been too many things to worry about. She was worried that the emotional ups and downs would affect Su Dong's condition.
Fortunately, the results of the morning checkup indicated that Su Dong's recovery was good, and he could leave the hospital now. It was just that Tang Bainfeng had instructed Su Dong to not release him unless he fully recovered, which was why he kept telling him that he still needed to be treated in the hospital.
Hearing this answer, she felt relieved. After bidding farewell to the doctor, she carried the breakfast to the ward.
He had originally thought that it was still early and that there was no one else in the room other than Su Dong. However, the moment he got close to the ward, he heard voices coming from inside.
Pushing the door open and taking a look, he saw that there really was someone inside the ward, and it was someone that Nikki really didn't want to see.
"Warm, you're here? A filial person like Warmth will definitely come to see dad. Warmth, why did you bring breakfast over? Dad's food at the hospital is already pretty good, if you want to eat something, it's very convenient to get your brother to cook and bring it over here. What are you doing this early in the morning? "
As she spoke, Zhou Jing came over with a smile on her face. She even took the initiative to receive the breakfast in Su Wen's hands.
After she put the breakfast on the bedside table, she looked inside and said in a surprised tone, "Warmth, your Tupperware box is a famous brand right? I've seen it on the shopping website. It costs a few hundred yuan for a small glass bowl like this. How can you use this to store sandwiches? What a waste if it breaks!
She saw that there were quite a few of these boxes in the kitchen cabinet, so she casually took them out and used them. If she had known earlier that they were so expensive, she would have directly bought them for breakfast.
"Haha, look at what I've said. You've found such a rich boyfriend, so of course you wouldn't care about this small amount of money!"
Su Tong frowned. She had told him why Zhou Jing was acting so friendly today. The real reason was because she knew that this was the case. In that case, Su Dong and the others probably knew about Tang Bai Feng's identity as well.
Zhou Jing was trying to build a good relationship with her so that she could seek some benefits from Tang Banyeng in the future?
"Sister-in-law, Tang Bainfeng is Tang Bainfeng, I am my wife. Whether he has the money or not has nothing to do with me!" With a cold expression, Su Wangyou explained as he looked at Zhou Jing.
"It doesn't matter?!" Zhou Jing was surprised at first, but then immediately smiled, "How can this be okay?" Isn't Little Tang your boyfriend? I think Little Tang likes you a lot too. Warmth, tell us the truth. When are you going to get married? "
"Marry?!" Seeing the expectant expression on Zhou Jing's face, Su Yan couldn't help but sneer. Anyone who didn't know this would think that it was her, Zhou Jing, who was waiting to be married off to Tang Banyeng.
"Sister-in-law, since you're asking me this question, I have something to announce to everyone. Tang Banyeng and I have separated, so don't say anything else about it in the future. It's a joke."
"Break up?" Zhou Jing looked at him in shock. "Why are you breaking up for such a good reason?" From the looks of it, Little Tang doesn't seem to like you anymore. Otherwise, she wouldn't be helping Huanhuan like this! "
Zhou Jing paused, then suddenly thought of something. She raised her head to look at him and asked, "Warmth, was it that mother of Xiao Tang's opposed to you two being together and forcing you two to part ways?"
Nikki frowned. It seemed like everyone had bumped into each other in the hotel yesterday.
She had been worrying about an excuse to explain her 'breakup' with Tang Banyan, but now she had an excuse.
"Yes, his mother really does oppose us being together. As for the reason, I think sister-in-law should have guessed it!"
Zhou Jing rolled her eyes, then walked a few steps forward and reached out her hand to grab onto Su Qingrou. She said earnestly, "Qingrou, you can't just give up on something as nice as Little Tang, it's fine if that old woman opposes it, but in the future, you're going to live with Little Tang, not with that old woman. Just ignore her words, why do you need to care about her, because she and Little Tang split up. You can't just ignore her, can't you? Qingrou, listen to my advice, quickly go back and reconcile with Little Tang."
Su Tong turned his head and stared at Zhou Jing, causing her to feel uncomfortable. Then, she turned her gaze to Su Dong, who was lying on the bed, and Su Bin, who was standing beside the bed.
"Dad, big brother, your thoughts are the same as eldest sister-in-law's. Do you want me to take the initiative and ask for peace? "Even if my mother knew that I was looked down upon from the bottom of her heart, she would still want me to be together with Tang Baifeng?"
He was silent for a while, then let out a sigh and said, "Warm, as a woman, it's only a matter of time before you get married. After marrying someone else, you'll have to suffer a bit in front of your parentage, so take your mother as an example, she has such a good temper and she's such a capable person, when she first married into the Su Family, she didn't suffer a lot from your granny's anger, but as you've gotten along with her, your granny has become more and more fond of you. Even if I quarrel with your mother sometimes, your granny will still help you out.
