Outside the gated community, Uncle Zhang and a woman squatted by the roadside with a big bag.
The woman asked, âCan we really meet Miss Tang here?â
âI think so. The villa that Miss Tang and Mr. Jiang live in is especially luxurious and big, but the security here is also very strict. We wonât be able to go in, so we can only wait here.â
âI recognize Mr. Jiangâs car. Iâll stop it when I see it and weâII pass the bag to her.â
The woman nodded as she looked at the villas in the gated community with envy.
The people who lived here in these villas were either rich or noble, people who wouldnât befriend them. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
But Tang Beibei had saved her son, and she hadnât thanked her properly. Therefore, she asked Uncle Zhang to bring her here to thank Tang Beibei in person.
A man walked up to them and asked, âAre you looking for Tang Beibei and Jiang Jingchen?â
âYes.â Uncle Zhang nodded with smile. âHow did you know?â
âOh, I overheard you guys talking just now. Iâm also here to find them. I have something to give them, but something urgent cropped up and I have to leave now.â
âI see that youâre honest people, so I would like to pass the gift to you Please help me give it to Tang Beibei, but donât tell anyone that itâs from me.â
Uncle Zhang was puzzled. âSince itâs a gift from you, why canât you let her know itâs from you?â
The man replied, âThis is a tonic. Iâm afraid theyâll reject it if they knows itâs from me. But I sincerely wish them well. Please help me.â
Uncle Zhang felt a little conflicted. Then, he heard the man say, âTo be honest, Iâm their relative. Iâm here to give this to Tang Beibei. I donât want to cause any trouble. Hereâs 2,000 yuan. Please help me.â
Uncle Zhang wanted to refuse, but the man was stubborn. He stuffed the money into his hands and left. When he left, he even reminded Uncle Zhang not to tell them that he was here because it would make them unhappy.
Uncle Zhang looked at the money in his hand helplessly.
Mrs. Zhang was still in a daze. âUncle, what should we do with the money?â âSince he has given us money, weâll help him pass the package to Miss Tang. But we canât take the money.â
Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement. âWe canât take 2,000 yuan from someone for no reason. Itâs too much.â
The two of them waited a while more before they saw Jiang Jingchenâs car.
Uncle Zhang was excited and walked over to wave at them.
âMr. Jiang, Mr. Jiang, Miss Tang, Miss Tang, itâs me, the uncle who transported cow dung for you!â
In the car, Tang Beibei saw someone she knew waving at her, so she asked
Jiang Jingchen to stop the car.
Jiang Jingchen said, âI see him, but we need to stop at the side.â
Jiang Jingchen turned the steering wheel and stopped the car by the roadside Tang Beibei got out of the car and asked, âUncle Zhang, whatâs the matter?â Uncle Zhang heard her respectful tone and felt less reserved. He explained, âXiaohe has already gone home. Xiaoheâs mother wants to thank you. Missâ Tang, we also prepared something for you to thank you.â
Xiaohe was the nickname of the boy whom Tang Beibei saved.
Tang Beibei was surprised. She just wanted to save him at the time and never expected anything in return.
âUncle Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, youâre too kind. Hearing that Xiaohe is recovering well is already the best gift for me.â
Mrs. Zhang was even more grateful when she heard Tang Beibei say that. She brought the big bag over and handed it to Tang Beibei.
âMiss Tang, these arenât anything expensive. Theyâre all grown in my vegetable garden. Theyâre very clean. You saved my Xiaohe, which means that you saved my life. If you donât want these things of mine, Iâll feel bad and canât rest at ease day or night.â
Tang Beibei saw the big bag she was carrying thought that it was not nice to refuse since she had brought it all the way here.
Get in the car. Have some tea at our house since you are here.â
Mrs. Zhang looked at Uncle Zhang cautiously. Uncle Zhang waved his hand.
âWe shanât bother you. Miss Tang, youâre a kind person. Kind people will be rewarded.â
Tang Beibei took another bag Uncle Zhang handed to her. There was a pretty nice box in the bag.
âIf you donât get in the car, I wonât take these things. You wonât even have some tea with me when you are here. Thatâs looking down on meâ¦â
Mrs. Zhang was in a dilemma and looked to Uncle Zhang for a decision.
Uncle Zhang pointed at his clothes. âMiss Tang, we, well embarrass you.â âYou didnât steal or rob, and I didnât do anything bad. We are all aboveboard. Whatâs there to be embarrassed about? Donât think too much. Uncle Zhang Mrs. Zhang, letâs go.â
Tang Beibei opened the car door for them.
Uncle Zhang had no choice but to get into the car with the bags. Mrs. Zhang lacked opinions and just followed Uncle Zhang.
Jiang Jingchen reminded them to put on their seat belts. Uncle Zhang looked around for his but couldnât find his seat belt. He thought that only passenger in the front seat needed to put on a seat belt and not passengers in the back.
Tang Beibei smiled and helped him find his seatbelt.
âHubby, letâs go.â Jiang Jingchen started the car.
The man hiding behind a tree watched as the two of them carried his bag into their car. The corners of his mouth curled up into a conniving smile.
He took out his phone and made a call. âHello, the gift box has been delivered.â âIf Tang Beibei is pregnant and eats that, she will definitely have a miscarriage Even if sheâs not pregnant, she wonât feel good after eating that!â
When they arrived at the villa, Tang Beibei poured tea for her guests.
Tang Beibei said with a smile, âYouâre my second and third guests. Iâm quite happy.â
Mrs. Zhang looked at the luxurious villa and could not help but sigh. The houses where rich people lived were really big and beautiful.
She carefully took the teacup from Tang Beibei and stared at her. The more she looked at her, the more familiar she felt. She asked in confusion, âMiss Tang, did your mother dance in a dance troupe?â
Tang Beibei looked at her in shock. âWhat dance troupe?â
Mrs. Zhang thought that she had said something wrong. She quickly said, âI might have been mistaken. Iâm sorry. Iâm getting old. My eyes arenât working as well anymore.â
Tang Beibei frowned. Mrs. Zhang didnât look a day over forty. She was still young. It was just an excuse to say that her eyes were not good.
Mrs. Zhang, do you think I look like someone youâve met before?â
Mrs. Zhang nodded. âYes, very much. Your eyes look very much like that womanâs, and your smile is even more so. Sigh, itâs a pity that that woman is mute.â
Tang Beibei felt as if her heart had been tugged and quickly asked, âWhatâs that womanâs name? Whatâs she like? Is she good-tempered?â
âThat womanâs name, I think, is Tang Xingxing. She is mild-tempered and is often bullied in the dance troupe. Sheâs a very kind person.â
Tang Beibei was excited. Her birth mother was Tang Xingxing!
Mrs. Zhang, can you tell me more?â
Mrs. Zhang looked at her reddened eyes and patted her shoulder comfortingly.
âMiss Tang, calm down. Iâll tell you everything you want to know.â
âHow did you know my mother?â
âAh, is Miss Tang Xingxing really your mother?â
Mrs. Zhang felt that it was a fateful coincidence that she met Tang Xingxingâs daughter..
