"What? Something is going on between them?"She was hallucinating!!!
Her brother must be joking, right?
Tangning leaned closer to Tang Hu and cautiously studied his expression in case he had started to make jokes.
Alas!!!
He seemed to be serious!!
Tangning felt that her head started spinning…
Her brother"s idea was brilliant!!!
Of course, no boy… in fact, not only boys but also girls wouldn"t want to come near to her and Mo Xingjuan, let"s not talk about having a conversation, when the whole university would get to know that Tangning was interested in Mo Xingjuan and something was going on between them.
Actually, Tangning wouldn"t mind if they misunderstand her with Mo Xingjuan, but the problem was Long Tianze. Long Tianze"s cousin was also studying in the same university as her, so if the rumors spread that something is going on between her and Mo Xingjuan, then wouldn"t it mean Long Tianze would also misunderstand her and everything would be finished!!!
"Brother...I like Long Tianz...I mean Mr. Long...If this rumor spread then everything will end between us."
Since Tang Hu was a smart person, he already had an understanding that she liked Long Tianze even if she didn"t say it aloud. Therefore, Tangning decided to say something to make Tang Hu think of another solution to make Mo Xinjuan unable to talk to any boy and stay far away from them.
To her dismay, Tang Hu didn"t seem to be concerned about her relations.h.i.+p, "It"s none of my business whether your relations.h.i.+p would continue with Long Tianze or not. It"s your drawback that Long Tianze doesn"t seem to be understanding to you and have trust in you."
Tangning wanted to vomit her blood out…
Understanding…
Trust…
Shouldn"t you use such words in your case also???
"Brother…"
"Fine, don"t agree with my condition. I will let grandma hear this recording and let her set up a matchmaking session for you with suitable suitors." Tang Hu said in a threatening manner while showing his phone.
"B-Brother...I...I am the only sister...of yours...do you really have to do this to me?" Tangning said while choking from her sobs…
"My dear...Ning...even if you are my only sister...Xingjuan is also the only girl to whom I fancy...Right?" Tang hu scoffed while walking towards a table and started playing with the crystal s...o...b..ll occasionally.
"Brother…" Tangning looked to Tang Hu with her watery eyes as if she could cry miserably if Tang Hu didn"t let her off.
Why did she become a sacrificial p.a.w.n in the love story of her cousin and her good friend?
Why her???
Couldn"t there be anyone else aside from her who knew them both???
"You have a night to consider the consequences for betraying your lovely brother. I hope you won"t disappoint me." Tang Hu patted Tangning"s shoulders and left swiftly.
----
Back to the morning…
Just thinking about last night, Tangning felt injustice. If she didn"t agree with Tang Hu"s condition then not only would she have to give up on Long Tianze but also on her studies as well.
Her grandma would set her in an arranged marriage and make her stay as a housewife. Let"s not talk about how Long Tianze would be dismissed from his position as well.
Thinking about all these things made Tangning miserable, sad and cry. Sadly, she couldn"t even think of crying, especially in front of Mo Xingjuan.
Seeing Tangning"s pale face, Lee Xuiye and Mo Xingjuan felt that something was definitely wrong with her, but Tangning had pressed her lips and didn"t let out a word except quietly sobbing to herself.
Lee Xuiye exchanged a glance with Mo Xingjuan and teasing her said "Ohh...Xingjuan...I think G.o.d is showering his blessings to you for having Tangning"s interest in you."
Mo Xingjuan rolled her eyes and proudly said "I am blessed to have a good life...So, of course, Tangning has to show her interest in me sooner or later. Come on, I am not in the mood to attend cla.s.s...let"s go to the canteen."
Mo Xingjuan affectionately held Tangning"s arm and dragged her towards the canteen without waiting for the consent of Tangning whether she wanted to go or not while leaving Lee Xuiye behind to come up with an idea to handle the situation which Tangning had caused.
***
Inside the canteen…
Mo Xingjuan left Tanging alone to sit on the corner table and went to order something for them.
Lee Xuiye went towards Tangning and tried to speak with her as Tangning seemed to be hesitating in front of Mo Xingjuan. Only G.o.d knew from where she had gotten the guts to do something which would spread the rumors of such a pathetic misunderstanding.
"Ning...are you alright? What happened to you?" Lee Xuiye held her hand and softly asked.
Seeing Lee Xuiye, as the first person since the morning who came to show concern to her, Tangning couldn"t control herself and cried out "Xuiye..."
Lee Xuiye let her cry so that she could calm herself and then say what had happened to her.
Lee Xuiye had gotten some news about her last night"s birthday party and she knew that Tangning was a weak-hearted person, so she might be crying for that…
After crying for a while, Tangning told Lee Xuiye everything about her last night conversation between her and Tang Hu.
Lee Xuiye only knew about Mo Xingjuan"s rejection of the marriage proposal and not the last night scene between Tang Hu and Mo Xingjuan so she was confused and angry at Tang Hu at the same time.
"Xuiye… you tell me what should I do? How could I give up on Long Tianze even before trying...I…" Tangning started sobbing again.
Lee Xuiye, seeing the miserable condition of her friend, wanted to lash out her anger, but she had to comfort her friend first.
"Ning...Don"t cry...we will find a solution to this…"
Lee Xuiye and Tangning were engulfed in each other so much that they didn"t notice that someone had already heard everything and went out to lash her anger on a certain someone who seemed to be so daring to cause trouble for her besties…
However, she didn"t know that although she was going to lash her anger she would also bring a solution…
