  Tang Sheng answered the phone loudly, and Tang Jin in the house also heard it. She thought to herself, why was Ning Meng calling him?

  "......Ning Meng, just 10 more minutes and we'll arrive? Alright, I'll go out in a bit, today I'll take you all to have a good stroll around Old Tang Alley."

  Just as Tang Jin was thinking about what was strange about these two people, Tang Sheng stood up in the courtyard, "I'm full, the buns and porridge with salted vegetables are really good, if I could eat like this every day it would be great..." He put away his phone and patted his belly, looking very satisfied.

  At this time, Tang Jin walked out of the upstairs room. She didn't look at Tang Sheng and pretended to say to her mother: "Mom... I'll help you clean up the bowls." In fact, she was thinking about Tang Sheng taking Ning Meng for a walk, and she also gave Tang Sheng a sideways glance with a hint of resentment.

  Li Guizhen glanced at her daughter, "No need for your help, isn't Shengge going to take someone strolling in the alley? You can follow him, Shengge has only been here for a few days and is not familiar with this place. You've lived here for over ten years, you can be his guide."

  Tang Jin heard this and was overjoyed, oh... mom, you're so awesome, I think I'm going to kiss you.

  She liked it in her heart, but didn't show a hint on her face, just gave Tang Sheng a faint glance, meaning "do you need me?" She couldn't help feeling tense and didn't know why, but suddenly felt an inexplicable affection for him.

  At this moment, I'm afraid that Tang Sheng will say 'Never mind, I'll go by myself', which would be too disappointing.

  However, Tang Sheng would not disappoint Jin Mei, he was worried about how to take Tang Jin out. So just now, he answered the phone loudly, wanting to lure Tang Jin out of the upstairs room. Jin Mei indeed came out, and he thought it was great. Just as he was thinking about how to start a conversation, Li Gui Zhen arrived with such words. Tang Sheng almost burst out laughing. Auntie Li, you're so fierce! Give me a pillow for my afternoon nap? I love it, haha!

  He said, "Yes, Aunt Li, I'm not very familiar with Lao Tang Alley yet. Today, these two people are quite important and it's related to the relocation of Lao Tang Alley. I need to take good care of them. It would be great if you could guide us, I was worried about that."

  Tang Jin heard him say that, the tense color on his face disappeared, and he also let out a sigh of relief.

  Li Guizhen and Tang Wangping were taken aback. The former said: "What kind of people are they? Can they even manage the relocation?"

  Tang Sheng smiled and said, "I'm still not sure who else is coming. If that person comes, maybe there will be hope."

  Li Guizhen and her husband exchanged a glance, "Alright? Then we'll also go out and take a look..."

  "Alright, Aunt Li, I'll go out with Jie first..." Tang Sheng winked at Tang Jin, "Let's go, beautiful Jin..."

  The black sedan stopped on the main street outside Lao Tang Alley, and Ning Xin and her sister Ning Meng got out of the car, locked the door, and walked hand in hand into the alley. Lao Tang Alley was a narrow east-west street, while the streets outside were lined with high-rise buildings and wide roads of the new era. But as soon as they entered Lao Tang Alley, everything changed, giving people a sense of desolation and fragmentation.

  It's obvious that this feeling is a bit exaggerated, but in Ning Meng's eyes, it gave her such a shock.

  "Sister... is this a place where people live?" In an instant, Ning Meng's eyes turned red, and she felt a surge of respect for Tang Jin.

  Tang Jin grew up in such an environment, but she didn't feel inferior or give up. Her tenacious willpower is admirable. I recall saying that Lao Tang Alley was a slum yesterday, and there's still a hint of disdain in my words. My heart feels even more ashamed now. Tang Jin, I'm not as good as you!

  These thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and even her views on Tang Sheng had changed.

  The two sisters were dressed similarly, wearing light-colored T-shirts on top and tight-fitting jeans on the bottom, which outlined their perfect figures. Ning Xin was surprisingly tall, wearing casual flat shoes that made her a head taller than Ning Meng.

  They all wore sunglasses on their noses, with fluttering hair and a charming demeanor, and people passing by couldn't help but give them admiring glances.

  "Sister, the houses in Lao Tang Alley are all old houses from several decades ago. In the past, our Jiangling City's famous 'Jiangling Business Group' originated from Lao Tang Alley. They are spread across the country, and every year a group of people come back to visit these old houses. Over the past decade or so, it is because of these people's affection for Lao Tang Alley that they invested in Jiangling. Lao Tang Alley has made many contributions to the rise of this city, and its current dilapidation is a kind of sacrifice for the new city. Even some retired officials have feelings for Lao Tang Alley."

  "So that's how it is, isn't 'Jiangling Merchant Group' very formidable?"

  "I'm not very clear either, but it seems that among the local people of Jiangling Merchant Group nowadays, only Tang Wei is left, and he can still make a fuss."

  "He? Is he also from the business association? His reputation is so bad, I heard he has seven or eight mistresses."

  Ning Xin gave her a cold glance, "Mind your own business, what's it to you if someone keeps several mistresses? Keeping a hundred is their capability."

  "Uh... sis... that classmate of mine is here, the one leading him is called Tang Jin... he's a top student at Jiang High, even more formidable than me."

  Ning Meng pointed, and from the alleyway came out Tang Sheng and Tang Jin, a pair of golden boys and jade girls, looking like a couple. Ning Meng's heart felt an inexplicable pang of jealousy, but she didn't know why she had this feeling, as she and Tang Sheng hadn't been close before either?

  But at this time, seeing him and Tang Jin walking together, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, that feeling is really hard to describe.

  Didn't I give him eye medicine yesterday? Why does Tang Jin seem to have no reaction at all? Wasn't he stunned by Tang Sheng's eloquent words? These thoughts flashed through Ning Meng's mind, making her look at Tang Sheng and Tang Jin with some doubt again.

  Tang Sheng was in front, Tang Jin lagged behind by a small half step, and soon the four of them met at the edge of the alley.

  "Hey…… Ning Daban, don't play with people like that, you're not going to tell me your sister is now the district head, are you?" Seeing Ning Xin again, who had a small intimate moment with him the night before, Tang Sheng's heart was filled with warmth. To say that he didn't have the idea of making Ning Xin, such a beauty, his girlfriend in his heart, would not be true to his nature as a second-generation rich kid. Although he had been reborn, the essence within him had not been eliminated.

  To put it bluntly, this life is different. Tang Jin is the only one, and in front of her, anyone else will pale in comparison.

  "How did you know my sister?"

  Ning Meng was surprised and couldn't help but glance at her sister. Ning Xin ignored her, and she didn't tell her sister about her encounter with Tang Sheng that night.

  "My eyes are big and bright, aren't they? This sister is obviously a senior 'Ning Class Monitor', if not your sister then who?" Tang Sheng bragged, pretending to stretch out his hand to get familiar with Ning Xin. "Sister Ning, you're so upright and just, I won't be like some people who frame and bully their classmates. I'm curious, someone's beautiful eyes are also big and bright, why can't they see through some people's nature?"

  Tang Sheng borrowed the topic and played with it, on the one hand mocking Ning Meng's backhand deal yesterday, and on the other hand pointing out that Tang Jin was deceived by others' words.

  The two women stared at him with wide eyes, and Tang Sheng could only pretend he hadn't seen it.

  Ning Xin, on the other hand, was straightforward and stretched out her hand to shake his, but when Tang Sheng grasped it, she felt that he was using an unusually strong grip. Tang Sheng did this intentionally, knowing that this beautiful woman was a master of the secret Taichi inner door technique, and today he wanted to test her substance.

  Ning Xin indeed silently operated the 'Mian' character technique, instantly transforming her slender palm into a soft and fluffy cotton-like texture, making Tang Sheng's attack ineffective.

  Tang Jin didn't notice anything and just followed Tang Sheng to ask 'How's Ning sister?'

  Tang Sheng's face changed, and he smiled wryly as he let go of his hand. "I've learned my lesson, that's a formidable Tai Chi soft palm. When I have time, I'll ask Ning Jie to teach me."

  Ning Xin was also shocked by Tang Sheng's straightforward words, she never thought that this guy would see through her Tai Chi skills with just one try, and at the same time, she noticed that Tang Sheng's movements were not bad, absolutely not a softie. She smiled and said, "As long as you don't smash my car, it's fine."

  Ning Xin's sentence is even more wonderful, and it also satirizes him for smashing Tang Yu's big Benz.

  Their inexplicable conversation left Tang Jin and Ning Meng somewhat bewildered, neither of them knowing about the nocturnal encounter between Tang Sheng and Ning Xin.

  Tang Sheng leaned out of the alley and caught a glimpse of the police car's front, dryly laughing: "Ha... how dare I smash a police flower's car?"

  "Huh?... How did you know my sister practiced Tai Chi? Sis... You two don't know each other, do you?"

  Ning Xin's face wore a faint smile, her lips pursed in silence, exuding an elegant and serene aura, with a sacred and inviolable demeanor.

  "Do you think your sister would tell you the secret between her and me? Danning, your sister is not a good person. She asked me to buy her a drink, but instead she took advantage of the opportunity to put eye drops on me. I was so foolishly obedient, what's going on? Class monitor."

  "Is there? I don't remember," Ning Meng said, giving Tang Jin a puzzled look, as if to say "Did you tell him?"

  Tang Jin shook her head, her expression equally calm and composed, with a clear and upright gaze. Ning Meng also thought that she couldn't have said it.

  Ning Xin now finds that this girl named Tang Jin seems to be the key person in the misunderstanding between her sister and Tang Sheng. Judging from Tang Sheng's expression, the 'certain someone' he mentioned is probably referring to her? Taking a closer look at this little beauty, she's really not bad, absolutely not inferior to her own sister.

  Tang Sheng also noticed the exchange of eyes between Tang Jin and Ning Meng, he smiled: "Don't stare at Tang Jin, it's all your doing, right?"

  Ning Meng suddenly gritted her teeth and looked resentful, with a beauty that was even more captivating. She narrowed her beautiful eyes and glared at Tang Sheng before turning to her sister and saying: "......Sister, are you going to do something about it? There's a bad person bullying me right in front of you, why don't you teach him a lesson?"

  Tang Sheng said, "Alright, Ning Erjie, you're my class leader. There will be opportunities for you to 'kill' me in the future, let's put this matter aside for now... What do you mean by bringing Ning Dajie here? With me around, Old Tang Alley is enough to intimidate those petty thieves and hoodlums, no need to bother Da Jinghua."

  What's going on? Ning Meng didn't call her dad Ning Quan, but instead called you, what's the point of that? She's not even the district head of the city.

  Ning Xin and Tang Jin couldn't help but want to laugh, remembering how fiercely he had blown up that day, and now his humor was really out of place.

  "Can my sister and I just get a grasp of the situation first? How can Dad come so easily? You're really something, humph..."

  "It's also possible that the demolition and relocation of Lao Tang Alley is a big deal, but it's hard to say what will happen next. If Ning District Director were to get involved at this time, it would be unpredictable whether it would bring good or bad fortune... The two Ning sisters coming to understand the situation first is correct..." Tang Sheng thought to himself that it must have been Ning Xin's idea.
