Chapter 960 - 960 Meng Ling
960 Meng Ling
If this had gotten out, then their reputation would be affected. Their medication would be questioned, and it would be a disaster!
Given that the reason for their partic.i.p.ation in the compet.i.tion was to make a name for themselves, this would only be a huge contradiction to accepting her to the team.
While they could easily express their grat.i.tude, they wouldn’t be able to disclose something like this.
Meng Ling glanced over at Yao Tang expectantly, wondering what conditions she would propose.
Yao Tang didn’t seem fazed as she smiled up at the old man. “I know that you’ve arranged Meng Ling to marry Yang Ming in order to push through with this cooperation. All of what I have done here right now is for Meng Ling’s sake.”
“It is that reason that I propose that she be given a chance to love and marry whoever she wants. Don’t let her become the victim of a loveless marriage. She is to be the matriarch of the Meng Family. Should she not be given the chance to choose for herself?”
There was a pause.
Everyone’s jaw dropped.
Even Meng Ling glanced at her friend in disbelief.
Yao Tang could’ve gotten a lot of money if she had wanted it. She knew that she needed it. All she had to do was name her price. Even if she had asked for a hundred million yuan, they would’ve given it to her no problem.
Why was she doing this?
She was the one who had saved her from a world of shame and darkness. Yao Tang was the one who had repaired her hand, even. It is because of her that she can finally live a life of confidence.
“Sister Tang,” she stuttered. “I can’t…I’m not worth all of this.”
Meng Ling wanted to say that she didn’t really care much about the message.
However, she had truly wanted to marry someone she loved. That was all she ever wanted.
She didn’t want Yang Ming. The man couldn’t even keep it in his pants. Not only that, but he had even risked tarnishing her name by entangling himself with that Yao Ran!
Yao Tang slowly held her hand. “I only did this because it was convenient for me,” she said with a smile. “Helping you in this case is the reward I’ll take with me.”
The man slowly nodded, making sure that she had no other requests. When everything was confirmed, they quickly signed the arrangement.
Only after taking care of everything did Meng Ling finally accompany her back to school. She also made sure to fill her in on everything that had happened in the past month.
As soon as they had arrived, Yao Tang noticed how quiet the school was. Everyone had already gone back home from the college entrance exam. Now, they were at home, waiting at the edge of their seats.
She had actually come back home to pack up her stuff. However, as they were walking down the corridor, they ran into the teacher in duty—Zhang Ting.
Zhang Ting blinked upon her arrival. “Yao Tang! Why did you come back so late? Will you be retaking the exam? Why didn’t you take it?”
Although Yao Tang wasn’t a student of her cla.s.s, her grades still gained a lot of attention around the school. If she had done well, it would bring glory to all of them.
“There were some things that I needed to take care of. Don’t worry, Teacher Liang, none of this would affect my future plans.”
“It won’t?” She frowned. “Are you planning to go abroad?”
The teacher thought back to all the rumors she had heard about her. If she were to leave the country, she’d have the means to do so. But even then, why would she miss the exam? She had worked so hard on it.
Unable to take it, Teacher Liang shared her thoughts.
