Chapter 209 I definitely like it
"Mom." Ning Sheng suddenly put down his bowl and chopsticks, his eyes red, "What should I do if you die!"
From childhood to adulthood, he has depended on his mother. It was she who raised him and paid for his college education, which led to where he is today.
"Besides, those scammers took advantage of my safety to trick you into transferring money. I'm the source, so if anyone has to die, it's me who deserves it!"
"Xiaosheng, what nonsense are you talking about!" Ning's mother burst into tears instantly.
Everyone present couldn't bear to watch.
"Ning Sheng, it's not time to be so pessimistic. How much money do you owe? Everyone can help to collect it." Bi Siyuan spoke first.
Jiang Yao also thought of this, but she didn't mention it because -
"No thanks." Ning Sheng said firmly, "I know you mean well, but this is my responsibility. It has nothing to do with anyone else. I don't want to owe you so much."
Even now, he still retains a bit of dignity and doesn't want anyone to sympathize with him or pity him.
Otherwise, he would never be able to raise his head in front of them again.
Knowing that he had such a temper, Jiang Yao didn't mention it.
"Actually..." At this time, Lian Yingying also slowly said, "I have consulted with Lawyer Xu."
Jiang Yao looked up in surprise, "Are you talking about Xu Li?"
"I'm sorry, Yaoyao. I didn't mean to hide this from you. It's just that this matter..." Lian Yingying scratched her head awkwardly. "Anyway, Lawyer Xu said he could help. I'll call him now and ask if he's free to come over."
She immediately took out her cell phone and dialed the number.
Listening to the voice on the phone, Jiang Yao finally realized that the male voice he heard that day was Xu Li, and he had misunderstood.
Not long after, Xu Li, dressed in formal attire, rushed over.
After understanding the whole story this time, he calmly analyzed the situation and said, "This matter originally involved fraud. I'm afraid those loan sharks are also involved. This is probably a trap. As long as I investigate thoroughly, I can win this case."
"I will investigate and find out who is behind this." Li Beiting said immediately.
Xu Li and he looked at each other. This time, there seemed to be less confrontation between the two of them, and they even cooperated with each other tacitly.
"Thank you, thank you so much--" Ning's mother was so excited that she burst into tears and wanted to kneel down in front of them on the spot.
Everyone quickly stopped her.
Ning Sheng sat aside with his head down, silent, and the aura around him became even more depressed.
Lian Yingying saw it all and whispered to him, "Ningsheng, don't feel burdened. This isn't your fault. You still have a bright future ahead of you. You'll be able to return to the institute soon."
Jiang Yao sat beside her and naturally did not ignore the heartache in her eyes.
It seems that Yingying likes Ningsheng.
Come to think of it, otherwise why would she pay so much attention to the other party's movements, know his family situation, and even seek help from a lawyer.
If you don't care about someone, you don't have to give so much.
Just like... Li Beiting.
He is here now, solving her friend's worries. Isn't it all for her?
On the way back, looking at the man's angular profile, Jiang Yao's mouth corners unconsciously rose and he felt happy.
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Beiting didn't even turn his head, as if he had noticed her mood change.
Jiang Yao suppressed his smile and said, "I just wanted to ask, are you finally back after your work?"
"Yeah, if I leave again, I'm afraid someone will forget me." Li Beiting's eyes flickered with a smile, and he said jokingly, "Then I'll lose more than I gain."
Jiang Yao's heart felt as if he had eaten honey, but he still pretended to be casual and said, "Someone with such a strong presence like you will probably never be forgotten in my lifetime."
Hearing this, the smile in Li Beiting's eyes deepened.
He took the initiative to ask, "Are you free tonight? My friend gave me two tickets to a play, and it would be a waste if I don't use them."
Jiang Yao also became interested when he heard about the team performing a drama.
It happened to be what she liked.
"OK!"
She agreed without hesitation and thought it was a coincidence.
Li Beiting thought to himself that it was worth his efforts to please Jiang Haozhe, as he was able to find out about Jiang Yao's preferences from them.
But when the car stopped at the door of the villa, he was no longer happy.
Jiang Haozhe, the eldest uncle, was standing outside the door. Seeing him, he just casually greeted him and said to Jiang Yao, "Yaoyao, your grandparents said that our family will have a reunion dinner together tonight."
Jiang Yao was surprised when he heard this: "Is tonight a special day?"
Jiang Haozhe smiled and told her, "Your uncles and I have bought several villas around here. We plan to settle down here and have already moved our luggage. Isn't this something worth celebrating?"
Jiang Yao didn't even have time to be surprised.
They did this, no doubt, to take care of themselves.
This thought is touching enough.
She looked back at Li Beiting with some embarrassment.
But before she could speak, Li Beiting said considerately: "Such an important day should be celebrated, you should go."
"But..." She had just agreed to watch the play.
"It's okay, we can watch it together next time." Li Beiting smiled and whispered in her ear, "Actually, there are still several shows. It doesn't end today."
Jiang Yao's ears felt hot, and his heart softened. "Thank you, Senior."
Li Beiting reached out and gently touched her head, and naturally noticed the intimidating look from Jiang Haozhe opposite him.
But he was not afraid. He said good night to Jiang Yao and turned back.
In the darkness of the night, the man's back looks cold and lonely.
Jiang Yao felt a sharp pain in his heart.
She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and returned to her grandparents' house next door.
To her surprise, all four uncles were present today.
Everyone gave her a gift and coaxed her like a child.
Several people entered the living room together. The atmosphere was cheerful, but Jiang Yao was a little absent-minded.
Until someone touched her arm gently.
Jiang Yao turned around and saw Old Madam Jiang sitting next to her. She said secretly, "Why not call Bei Ting to come for dinner?"
Jiang Yao looked surprised, and subconsciously glanced at his uncles' faces before lowering his voice and saying, "But...if my uncles don't want to..."
"You don't have to care too much about what they think. But Beiting, you just came back today, you're all alone at home, without even a cook. You're really pitiful."
Old Mrs. Jiang shook her head and sighed.
It can be seen that Li Beiting's efforts and flattery towards her during this period were very effective.
Jiang Yao felt sad when he heard this.
After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and walked to the side and dialed Li Beiting's number.
"What's wrong?" The man's voice was as charming and pleasant as ever.
