Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Gu Shiting’s Big Gift
Sheng Tang nodded.
Fang Mengying pondered over her words.
"Grandma’s feeling down," Fang Mengying said, "She blames Xu Bingzhi, she still can’t let it go."
Sheng Tang: "I know."
"To be honest, Xu Bingzhi was indeed at fault back then. If we’re talking about distributing responsibility, he should bear seventy percent while Cheng Ruojun should take thirty percent," Fang Mengying said.
Sheng Tang nodded again, not refuting her mother.
Fang Mengying sighed, "Tangtang, it’s actually not a bad thing! In this world, having another person who loves you, how can that be bad?"
Sheng Tang looked at her mother in surprise.
"This is my selfish wish," Fang Mengying said, "If you have the chance, you can listen to Xu Bingzhi’s explanation. Perhaps, he understands the situation better than we do. After all, we don’t know what happened between him and Cheng Ruojun back then."
Fang Mengying was a selfless person, and she had a generous spirit.
Sheng Tang nodded.
This matter was completely discussed and resolved.
The biggest change at home was Sheng Zong.
The entire weekend, Sheng Zong didn’t know how to please Sheng Tang, worried that his sister would leave.
When Sheng Tang finally told him that she would not leave this home, Sheng Zong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sis, I treat you well, we all treat you well," Sheng Zong said, "Don’t go with that uncle. When I have money in the future, I’ll buy you an expensive watch too."
Sheng Tang laughed out loud.
After discussing it, things turned out not as they expected; it didn’t really impact the Sheng Family.
Everyone still went about their daily lives normally.
Sheng Tang knew in her heart that her parents and grandmother loved her like a precious treasure; and her family knew, Sheng Tang was their child, Xu Bingzhi couldn’t take her away.
Having it discussed, they felt less troubled and became even more relaxed and close.
Sheng Tang had a very pleasant weekend.
Xu Bingzhi also didn’t bother her further.
On Monday, Gu Shiting specially sent her a message in the morning, asking her what time she would arrive at school.
Timing it right, he met Sheng Tang at the school gate, and they entered the school acting casually.
"I’ll bring something for you in the afternoon," Gu Shiting softly said to her.
Sheng Tang really wanted to ask what he was bringing, but a fellow student called her from behind—it was Shi Niannian.
Gu Shiting quickly walked away.
After arriving at the classroom, Sheng Tang continued messaging him, asking what he would bring in the afternoon.
Gu Shiting said: "To celebrate your successful performance."
Sheng Tang: "..."
Throughout the morning, she was so busy with her classes that she forgot about it.
In the two afternoon classes, after the first class had ended, suddenly two people, seemingly school security guards, carried a large box into Sheng Tang’s classroom.
Everyone was puzzled and stared at the box.
The security guards opened the box and asked the room full of students, "Who is Sheng Tang?"
Sheng Tang knew it was sent by Gu Shiting, but didn’t have any idea what it specifically was.
She stood up, "I am."
"Please sign for it," said the security guard.
Sheng Tang walked up and signed her name.
The class president and others gathered around and asked what it was, but Sheng Tang wasn’t quite sure either.
So, with the help from the class president and the vice class president, she opened the box.
And then she was dumbfounded.
Gu Shiting had sent her a cake, with the words "Congratulations on Sheng Tang’s successful performance" written on it.
Those who didn’t know might think Sheng Tang had held a concert.
Sheng Tang felt so embarrassed.
She felt so awkward that she wished she could find a hole to crawl into; however, the cake was too big to hide.
The class president noticed her embarrassment and smiled addressing the classmates, "Let’s share the cake and celebrate Sheng Tang student’s treat for the start of the semester."
Sheng Tang was quite popular in the class, everyone was willing to join in, plus the class president had a strong influence.
The giant cake was quickly divided up.
Sheng Tang let out a big sigh of relief and personally went to throw away the emptied box. Only at that moment did she feel a little touched.
Her heart felt warm.
The cake was delicate, sweet, and tasted wonderful.
Someone recognized it was made by a renowned cake shop known for its meticulous ingredients; a twelve-inch cake from them cost over a thousand yuan.
Sheng Tang’s cake was even more expensive.
"Is Sheng Tang dating someone?"
"Definitely, and her boyfriend is rich and thoughtful. Is he from our class?"
Sheng Tang smiled bitterly.
Yan Jinzhi was also curious about the gossip, "Sheng Tang, who is your boyfriend?"
Jiang Baocu knew for sure it was sent by Gu Shiting but pretended to be unaware and joined in asking Sheng Tang.
Behind them, Qi Lin silently slipped out of the classroom amidst the ringing bell, skipping class.
