Chapter 124: Chapter 0124: You’re Not Allowed to Flirt with Girls, Okay?

Xia Wei’er’s face lit up with joy, but she was too shy to say much in return. Instead, it was Wei’er’s mom who smiled and said, "Tang Ming, thank you so much. Without you, our family really wouldn’t know how to get through this tough time!"

"Auntie, no need for such polite words, it was just a helping hand,"

Tang Ming said with an indifferent smile.

Tang Ming walked over to Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli and said, "Come on, I’ll take you both home."

"Sure, sure."

Li Xiaoli was very happy, but the moment she remembered the previous embarrassing scene, her face immediately flushed red.

Tang Ming, the chubby one, Liu Mengting, and Li Xiaoli left the cold drink shop together, while Xia Wei’er was full of suspicion. She had stood at the door of the operation room earlier, and even though the door was closed, the soundproofing there wasn’t very effective; she had overheard a bit of what was said inside, something about taking off clothes and pants.

"What exactly is the relationship between Tang Ming and Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli?"

Xia Wei’er frowned in confusion, thinking, "The three of them seem very close. And doesn’t Tang Ming like me? Why is he in my house being so intimate with those two? Men really are no good."

Xia Wei’er muttered angrily to herself and then turned to go back into the store to continue cleaning. Wei’er’s mom, on the other hand, hadn’t noticed anything amiss and was completely caught up in the excitement of restocking the diet popsicles; she was thinking about leaving some for the landlord so she could delay the rent collection a little longer.

An hour later, the cold drink shop hung up the sign announcing the sale of diet popsicles again, and with it being the peak time for office workers to come out to shop, the popsicles sold very well, with over a hundred being sold in less than half an hour.

Seeing such a booming business, Wei’er’s mom said to Xia Wei’er with a smile, "Wei’er, your classmate Tang Ming is really quite amazing. Not only can he make diet popsicles, but he can also treat your father’s illness, and he even revived that girl who fainted earlier. At such a young age, he knows so much; he’s really incredible."

"Who knows about him."

Xia Wei’er said disdainfully, always feeling that Tang Ming was doing so much for their family with an ulterior motive and impure intentions.

"Wei’er, I thought you and Tang Ming were close, that’s why he would help our family,"

Wei’er’s mom said with a smile.

"Close? He doesn’t study properly and only learns all kinds of crooked tricks; of course, he knows a lot,"

Xia Wei’er complained.

Upon hearing this, Wei’er’s mom said sternly,

"How is that crooked? If you knew these things, you wouldn’t even need to go to school; what’s the point of taking the university entrance exam?"

Xia Wei’er was somewhat unconvinced, "Studying can lead to more knowledge. Isn’t the medical knowledge he relies on to save people something one can learn at university? I could also study medicine in college and naturally be able to cure people. But right now, I’m still in high school, so of course, I have to build a foundation and learn the most basic things. His approach is impatient and wants too much too soon! Knowing everything means mastering nothing!"

"Alright, alright, you’re the smartest, okay?"

Wei’er’s mom didn’t argue further with her daughter, fearing it might undermine her confidence.

In the Liu family villa, Tang Ming had already returned with Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli, and they directly took Xiaoli up to rest on the third floor.

Just as Tang Ming was about to turn and go downstairs, Liu Mengting called out to him.

Li Xiaoli leaned against the bed, unsure of what Sister Meng Meng was up to.

At that moment, Liu Mengting’s face showed a hint of anger, clearly having thought things through upon returning home. Had it not been for checking what Tang Ming was up to, she would not have taken Li Xiaoli to the ice cream shop. Consequently, Xiaoli wouldn’t have fainted from eating too much ice cream. So, this situation was somewhat related to Tang Ming.

"Tang Ming, you are my bodyguard, so why did you help out at Xia Wei’er’s shop?"

Liu Mengting’s tone was somewhat accusatory as she looked straight at Tang Ming.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Ming realized that he had indeed been negligent. He sighed and said,

"Actually, it’s because the Xia Family’s house was forcibly demolished by Ma Gangqiang’s company that I stepped in to help them..."

Tang Ming recounted everything from start to end, including someone threatening Xia Wei’er and her mother at the ice cream shop, their home in the slums being demolished by the Ma Family’s people, Xia Wenjun getting buried in the rubble, and with the cheque being voided, not only was there no money for Xia Wenjun’s treatment, the family was also at the risk of being homeless due to rent issues at any moment.

As he laid out the details, Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli listened with reddening eyes, almost bursting into tears. If they hadn’t heard it for themselves, such privileged young ladies could hardly imagine such a pitiful family existed in the world.

A while later, Li Xiaoli said to Liu Mengting, "Meng Meng sister, don’t be mad at Brother Tang Ming. He was just helping people, and besides, Xia Wei’er’s family situation is so tragic, it’s really pitiful."

"Yeah."

Liu Mengting was not heartless. Now that she had heard about Xia Wei’er’s family misfortune from Tang Ming, she already felt sympathy for them: "Tang Ming, you did the right thing. If Xia Wei’er’s family faces any more difficulties in the future, you can continue to help her, after all, we are all from the same school... But remember, you are my bodyguard, and you are not allowed to sneak around with girls, got it?"

"Okay."

Tang Ming smiled and nodded, then he went downstairs.

Liu Mengting then began speaking with Li Xiaoli about Ma Gangqiang, the bully-like figure. They thought that if it weren’t for the Ma Family’s tyranny and forcible demolition of the Xia Family’s house, Xia Wei’er’s family wouldn’t have fallen into such a desperate situation.

Girls always need some gossip, and as luck would have it, Tang Ming had provided just that today. Liu Mengting and Li Xiaoli engaged in a heated discussion about it. In the end, the two girls even thought about reporting the Ma Family for the violent act of demolition leading to Xia Wenjun being buried under the rubble. However, talking about it was easy, but taking action was difficult.

In the Chen Family villa, lights were ablaze, and in the study, Chen Cang’s father, Chen Fazhong, was frowning as he savored a cup of strong tea. The aroma of the tea filled the air, and its emerald color was enticing, like an unrivaled delicacy of the world!

Seated on the sofa opposite him, was a sullen-looking man in his forties, dressed plainly, but with a barely perceptible aura, seemingly incredibly powerful, like a wild beast ready to burst forth at any moment.

After a while, the sullen man cast a glance at Chen Fazhong and snorted coldly, "Didn’t you say that Liu Gaoze didn’t have any experts by his side? What’s the deal with this Tang Ming then?"

"This... "

Chen Fazhong’s face turned awkward as he hesitated, "I’m not entirely sure about that. According to the intelligence, it seems like he was recently hired by Liu Gaoze in secret to look after his daughter. Before that, I had thoroughly investigated any experts the Liu Family might have had."

"Enough, whether he’s new or not, your mistake in the intelligence led to the failure of the organization’s operation and the loss of many of our experts. You should know the rules of the organization. You’re well aware of the consequences for those who fail to accomplish their tasks," the sullen man threatened with a cold tone.
