CHAPTER 335: CHAPTER 335: I THINK I SHOULD BE A LITTLE BRAVER (PART 5)

The shopkeeper’s wife seemed much more spirited than before. Maybe it was because business was good and she made some money, or perhaps for the sake of the shop’s image, she dressed a bit better, though it still appeared very simple.

The shopkeeper’s wife rubbed her hands together: "Miss Tang, although I know we’re from two different worlds, I still want to sincerely wish you happiness. You are a good person, and Mr. Sheng is also a good person. You both are bound to be happy."

Tang Yanqi smiled. Although she didn’t know where this conclusion came from, since it was a blessing, she was quite happy to accept it.

"Thank you."

The shopkeeper’s wife was an honest person, and she could tell that Tang Yanqi’s words were just polite perfunctoriness, so she couldn’t help adding: "Miss Tang, I mean it. Mr. Sheng is a good man and even better to you. He gave me the opportunity to open a shop because he knew I once helped you with a small favor. I may not be well-educated, but I’ve seen a lot of people, and Mr. Sheng genuinely cares about you."

This time, it was Tang Yanqi’s turn to be stunned. Although she had guessed that the shopkeeper’s wife’s ability to open the shop was due to Sheng Jianan’s help, she hadn’t expected that Sheng Jianan’s reason for helping was this.

In Tang Yanqi’s heart arose an indescribable feeling, like a vine slowly reaching deep into her heart.

After leaving the small hotpot shop, Sheng Jianan drove back to the villa. Tang Yanqi was still immersed in the revelation she had just learned. It wasn’t a big deal, yet it shook her profoundly.

The car drove out of the city onto the Upper Ring Road, and suddenly Tang Yanqi felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She quietly reached to touch it, finding it icy cold.

Initially, she could endure it, but soon Tang Yanqi couldn’t hold it in anymore; her face turned pale, and sweat started to bead on her forehead.

Sheng Jianan noticed something was off, and without worrying if stopping was allowed here or not, he pulled the car over to the roadside: "What’s wrong?"

Tang Yanqi bit her lip and let out a light groan: "It hurts."

Sheng Jianan wasn’t a fool. Seeing Tang Yanqi clutching her stomach, he instantly understood and started the car, ready to turn towards the hospital. Tang Yanqi couldn’t worry about the pain; she hurriedly stopped him: "Don’t. This is the ring road."

Not to mention that U-turns are not allowed here, even if they were, making one would result in driving against several cars, sharply increasing the risk.

Sheng Jianan certainly wouldn’t be that impulsive, but seeing Tang Yanqi’s pale face earlier, he was flustered.

"I’m fine. I’ll feel better after drinking some hot water at home."

Sheng Jianan stared at her for a few seconds, shifted the car into second gear, kept one hand on the steering wheel, and placed the other hand on her lower abdomen as he drove back to the villa.

Through the dim light, Tang Yanqi looked at his profile; she saw his anxiety, his helplessness, and recalled the shopkeeper’s wife’s words.

In her life, having him be this anxious for her even once was enough, truly enough.

She, Tang Yanqi, wasn’t greedy; having this happen once was sufficient.

Her gaze slowly lowered as a bold, unprecedented idea floated in her mind.

The Tang Family held her weakness, using her mother to threaten and oppress her, so she had always swallowed her pride and endured within the Tang Family. Now she discovered that her mother was the culprit behind the Tang family’s tragedy, so she had no choice but to continue repaying her mother’s debt.

But when will this kind of life end?

When she dies? Or when her mother dies?

And what about her?

Will her whole life just pass by like this?

Her mother’s debt must be repaid, but not necessarily through silent endurance. Perhaps, there are other solutions...
