"Tang Moyu," she called making way to where she was. "What are you doing here?" "Come on Tang Ning. Is this the way you welcome your sister? Ain't you happy to see me?" "Of course am happy to see you but you didn't tell me that you were coming," she said worry evident in her voice.
"I didn't know that I have to first make an appointment to see my own sister," she said.
"It's not that Moyu. It's just that I didn't expect you," she said. "Won't you invite me in then?" she asked and Tang Ning looked around.
"Come with me," she then said and Tang Moyu smiled as she looked at little Huan.
"Is she one of the twins?" she asked.
"Yes. She's called Jing Huan," Tang Ning replied before looking at Huan and said," She's my sister. Her name is Tang Moyu."
Tang Moyu walked to her with her hands outstretched to carry her but Huan hid behind Tang Ning.
"She is usually shy around people she doesn't know," said Tang Ning and Moyu nodded.
"Uh, let's get inside," she reminded and Moyu smiled as she adjusted her backpack then followed her inside. Tang Ning looked at Huan who had gripped her clothes and she said," It is alright baby. She is not harmful." She nodded her head at the words and somehow released her grip on her.
Reaching inside, Tang Ning led her sister to the living room and asked what she should bring her. "I'm okay with anything," she said and Tang Ning nodded before getting the little one's hand.
Coming back with refreshments and a cake, she placed them on the table and sat in the sofa, putting Huan onto her lap.
"So where's the other twin?" she asked. "He is in his room. He loves spending much of his time there. He is called Jing Juan."
"Don't you have beer around here?" she asked looking at the juice they had brought. She shook her head and replied," No."
Nodding her head, she took a sip on the juice and said," Not bad."
"How was father when you left?" she asked since she hadn't yet spoken to him today. "I don't know. I didn't sleep home last night," she replied to which she nodded in disappointment.
"This house is so big," she commented as she looked around the large living room," How many maids clean this place?" "Something like five," she replied. "Is your boss around?" she asked to which she shook her head. "He left long time ago," she informed.
After finishing the snacks, Tang Moyu said," Won't you tour me around the house?" "Of course. Come with me," she said and she excitedly got up.
Looking at little Huan, she asked," Do you want to come with us?" Huan looked at the other person skeptically and Tang Ning who saw this realized that she didn't want to come with them. Carrying her, she said," Let me take you to your room and you wait for me there." She nodded her head and Tang Ning asked her sister to wait for a moment.
The two toured around the house and on reaching the vast pool, Tang Moyu couldn't help but be awed. She looked at the two pools where one was large and the other smaller in size.
"I can see that you're having fun around here. Tell me, who got you this job?" "Uh, Daiyu's aunt was previously the twins' nanny and it became easier for me to get it," she replied and she nodded. "You're lucky. Do you think you can talk to your boss and see if he can get me something to do?" she asked.
Tang Ning gave it a thought because the two didn't get the opportunity to go on with their education. She therefore could not get a job in Jing Conglomerate. And from what she knew, her sister couldn't work as a maid. "I don't think he will be able to help honestly. I don't even talk to him that much," she replied.
"Alright I get," she replied as they walked away from the poolside. After some silence, she said," Tang Ning, I came to talk to you about something. I need your help." "What is it?" she asked.
"I owe money to some people and they are really dangerous. They want their money yet I don't know where to get it from." "How much is it?" she asked. "Four hundred Yuan," she replied and Tang Ning frowned. "Where did you put that much money Tang Moyu?! And why do you get money from those people?" she asked.
"I got the money to invest it somewhere but things didn't go according to plan. And perhaps, it wasn't that much in the beginning. It is the interest that accumulated. Do you mean that you don't do mistakes?"
"I didn't say that. That is a lot of money Moyu," she said stopping and turned to see her.
She stopped too and said," I know and it's why am here to ask for your help. Ain't you paid here?" "You know that I buy father's weekly medicine and it is not cheap. I also take care of the house expenses," she said. "I know. Does it mean that you're not going to help me?"
She took a while to say," I will see what I can do. I will call you by the end of today and tell you what I have got." She nodded and said," Thank you. I knew that I would rely on you."
"Alright but Moyu, you have to get a job. We are not getting any younger," she said and she rolled her eyes. "I know," she replied.
Tang Ning remembered that she had some money saved up and also, she could ask Daiyu for help. Speaking of Daiyu, she remembered that they had scheduled a meeting.
She took a deep breath when she realized that things were not going so easy for her.
