Back in the car, Tang Xiao pretended not to care and asked, "What did Lijun just tell you?"
Wang Dong joked, "My little sister asked me if you are interested in me!"
Tang Xiao raised his eyebrows, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone, "Oh, really? Then what did you say, that I am obsessed with you, Wang Dong?"
Wang Dong coughed lightly, "How can that be? I said she saw it wrong, but in fact it was me who was chasing you!"
Tang Xiao rolled his beautiful eyes, and his stern face became a little more relaxed.
In a good atmosphere, Wang Dong took the initiative to say, "Thank you just now. The arrangements were very thoughtful. I have no experience in dealing with this kind of thing. If you hadn't been here today, I really don't know how it would have ended!"
Tang Xiao said sarcastically: "You also say thank you? Didn't you say before that the Wang family's affairs have nothing to do with me, Tang Xiao?"
Wang Dong scratched his head and explained shamelessly, "I have a bad temper. Sometimes I can't speak with my brain. Don't take it to heart. In the future, as long as you are willing, you can take care of my affairs..."
Tang Xiao hugged his shoulders and interrupted coldly, "It's not rare!"
Seeing that Wang Dong wanted to open his mouth, Tang Xiao's eyes turned cold, "What nonsense are you talking about? Drive!"
Wang Dong thought of the arrangements for the evening and was stunned for a moment: "Do you really want to go? The environment there is not good."
Seeing that Tang Xiao looked unkind, Wang Dong said no more, started the car and left the hospital, heading straight to somewhere in Jiangbei!
Halfway through, Wang Dong took the initiative to break the dullness, "That escort isn't cheap, is it?"
Tang Xiao said casually, "Don't worry so much, I can handle it."
Wang Dong said politely, "How about waiting for eldest sister..."
Tang Xiao turned his head, his eyes becoming sharper, "When the eldest sister gets divorced, will you pay me back the money?"
Wang Dong didn't know what to say. In the past, this money might really be nothing to Tang Xiao.
However, Tang Xiao's finances have been frozen by her family, and her salary will not be paid until next month.
In other words, the balance in their accounts is only the 10,000 yuan that Wang Dong saved before. After paying off the 8,000 yuan loan, the remaining 2,000 yuan is just enough for living expenses!
Even if the price of escorting is calculated based on the market price of 300 per day, it will cost around 1,000 at least.
After deducting this money, how will we support the remaining half of the month?
Wang Dong knew that as long as Tang Xiao was willing to speak, financing would not be a problem.
But as she said herself, if she really asked for help, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving up in front of the Tang family?
With Tang Xiao's pride, she would never bow her head easily, but if she didn't ask for help, how could she solve the current predicament?
Moreover, Wang Dong could see that the reason why Tang Xiao helped today was not entirely because of himself, but partly out of righteousness. He couldn't stand the ingratitude of the Li family and felt sorry for the eldest sister's situation.
For such a loving and righteous woman, how could he be willing to let Tang Xiao ask for help?
Amidst the complicated emotions, Wang Dong grasped the steering wheel tightly. He knew clearly that Qin Haonan was looking at him in front of him, and the Tang family was ruthless behind him.
If he wants to have a future with Tang Xiao, then he must do something!
Otherwise, even if Tang Xiao is willing to give him a chance, how can he help Tang Xiao withstand the pressure?
The key to solving all this right now is money!
Since returning to Donghai, this is the first time Wang Dong has such an urgent desire for money. Money is a bastard, but sometimes it is really difficult to move without money!
Seeing Wang Dong's silence, Tang Xiao's tone became more serious, "Wang Dong, I told you, I can handle this matter. If you dare to tell eldest sister, don't come to me again in the future!"
Wang Dong did not answer, but changed the subject and said, "What did you say to the eldest sister in the ward just now?"
Tang Xiao explained casually, "It's nothing. Let's find out about the operation of that store with my eldest sister."
Wang Dong heard the profound meaning, "Do you have any backup plans?"
A sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Xiao's mouth, "What do you think? The family fortune that the eldest sister has worked so hard for several years has been so advantaged by the heartless mother and son of the Li family? Just like that, that vixen Fang Qing has taken advantage of it?"
"A loved one hates an enemy quickly. I can't stand this kind of thing, and I, Tang Xiao, don't have such a good temper!"
"Just wait and see, I will definitely make the Li family pay the price for what they have done!"
Seeing that Wang Dong was silent, Tang Xiao asked, "Why, do you think I, Tang Xiao, will retaliate? Are you afraid?"
Wang Dong joked: "No, I just feel that your character is becoming more and more to my liking, and I like it more and more!"
Tang Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Tch, do you want to like it?"
Without waiting for Wang Dong to answer, Tang Xiao suddenly said: "Wang Dong, did you feel something was wrong with that Fang Qing today?"
Wang Dong recalled the details and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Tang Xiao bit her lip slowly, "I can't really tell. I just feel that when the child is mentioned, Fang Qing's expression is a little unnatural."
Wang Dong narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean..."
Tang Xiao interrupted and teased: "I didn't say anything, but I do hope that the mother and son of the Li family can suffer the consequences of their own evil, which can be regarded as their retribution!"
During the chat, Wang Dong had already slowed down the car.
There are a row of garages on the roadside, and several cars with their hoods open are in a state of repair.
Zhao Dong drove the car into the backyard. There were piles of scrapped cars around it, leaving only a narrow passage in the middle!
Perhaps because of the uneven ground, a few thick iron plates were used to pave an uneven path. When the car drove over, a thunderous sound came rolling in!
Tang Xiao had only seen scenes like this in movies before, and couldn't help but wonder: "Wang Dong, where is this place?"
Wang Dong explained, "This used to be the Donghai Tractor Factory. Later, the factory went bankrupt and the employees were laid off. My adoptive father and a few workers contracted a workshop together to engage in car repairs. It was here that I learned the car repair skills from my father."
Tang Xiao's eyes were full of curiosity, "So, this is where you grew up?"
Wang Dong's eyes were also full of memories, "Well, I spent my time here after leaving the orphanage. It's just that the car repair shop business has been hard to do in the past two years, and later I switched to repairing scrapped cars."
While he was talking, Wang Dong had already stopped the car.
Tang Xiao looked around and saw in front of him a house made up of several green train cars. On one side were boxing sandbags hung up by chains, and on the other side were swings and a ring made of scrap tires. There were also several dark yellow taxis parked in the yard.
The industrial-style layout has a mechanical and heavy feel everywhere. Not far away is the bustling night view of Jiangnan. Against this backdrop, Tang Xiao is a little stunned!
Such a strange environment can easily make girls feel timid. Wang Dong unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Wait a minute, I'll open the door for you!"
Tang Xiao didn't want Wang Dong to look down on him, so he said bravely: "No need!"
After the words fell, she opened the door and got out of the car, and then a exclamation came from her mouth!
