Li Cheng looked around the old but very clean and tidy room, feeling quite emotional.

He thought that the people who came and went here in the past were dignitaries and wealthy businessmen, and he felt that "it was once the house of the rich and powerful, but now it is the home of ordinary people."

Weng Xiaozhu said this was her grandmother's home. Back then, in this town, which was still a county seat, her family was considered one of the most wealthy. They owned three factories, more than a dozen shops, and employed hundreds of people.

Weng Xiaozhu's grandfather appreciated the hard work of these hired workers, so he let them build houses on their own land outside his home.

Back then, this place was not like this, at least it was not so winding. Later, people who lived outside built illegally, and over the decades, the winding Eighteen Curve Alleys were formed.

It was an old story that happened decades ago. When Weng Xiaozhu talked about it, her face was calm, neither sad nor happy, as if it didn't happen here.

After the meal, it was already night.

Li Cheng looked outside and thought the streetlights in this alley weren't very bright, so he said to the two women whose faces were flushed from drinking, "Sisters, isn't it time to leave? This alley is not easy to walk in."

"Leave? Why leave?" Weng Xiaozhu looked at him puzzledly.

Li Chengxin thought that this guy was really drunk, and was he going to stay here instead of leaving?

Although this place looks clean, it is a century-old house after all. It’s okay to have a meal here, but it’s a bit creepy to live in it.

"Yeah, why are you leaving? We'll stay here today." Meng Jianghong said drunkenly.

Looking at Meng Jianghong and then at Weng Xiaozhu, Li Chengxin finished speaking. These two couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

Thinking about it, Li Cheng stood up, clasped his fists and said, "Two sisters, go to bed early. I will take my leave now."

The two of them stared at him blankly. Seeing that he really wanted to leave, they waved their hands and said, "Let's go, let's go. I won't see you off..."

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Why don't you try to keep them here for a while?" Seeing that the two of them had opened another bottle of wine, Li Cheng ran away as if escaping.

The three of them had already drunk three bottles of wine, but two of them hadn't had enough. If they continued drinking, things would definitely get out of hand.

Li Cheng is not Liu Xiahui, but he will never get too deeply involved with women like Meng Jianghong and Weng Xiaozhu whose background is unknown.

The water between these two people is very deep. Li Cheng knows that his skills are still shallow and he does not have that magic needle to stabilize the sea.

Even if I was reborn, so what? Apart from a bit of foresight, I was just a bank clerk.

You have to continue practicing!

Li Cheng walked along the bumpy alleys.

The streetlights in the alley were indeed dim, barely any brighter than candlelight. Li Cheng remembered the sewage, so he walked carefully.

Despite being extremely careful, Li Cheng still stepped into the dirty water. After nearly slipping and finally regaining his balance, he suddenly remembered Murphy's Law: the more you don't want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

It was already twelve o'clock when he returned to Huanglou. Li Cheng opened the door quietly, but after hearing Lao Yue's snoring, Li Cheng simply let go and walked back and forth in the room busying himself.

That night, Li Cheng suffered from insomnia for the first time. The reason for his insomnia was unexpectedly because of this dinner.

The next day, Li Cheng got up with a headache and asked his father-in-law not to buy him any food.

As Lao Yue was about to leave, he looked at him suspiciously and asked, "What were you doing last night? What time did you come back? Why do you have a headache?"

Li Cheng waved his hands randomly and said, "Why are you so nosy?"

Lao Yue stared at him and said, "Don't go to places like hair salons. I heard that they've been cracking down on them recently. You------"

"Get out!" A pillow flew towards Lao Yue.

Lao Yue dodged and ran away.

Li Chengxin said, "Do I really need to go to a place like a hair salon? If I wanted to, I wouldn't have come back last night."

Thinking about what happened last night, Li Cheng quickly got up, packed up, and prepared to go to work.

They arrived a little early, and as soon as they walked through the gate, Li Cheng saw Lao Yue and others standing by the armored car with serious expressions, watching Tan Wenjie laboriously loading the cash box into the armored car's safe.

Li Cheng looked at Lao Yue and prepared to enter the office building.

When Tan Wenji saw this, she shouted at him, "Li Cheng, Li Cheng, since you've gone to the office, there's no one left to help me load the truck."

Li Cheng paused, shook his head, and said, "Tan Wenji, I didn't go to the office, I was transferred there. Also, they refused to help you load the truck. You only have two solutions. One is to ask your director to replace him. Replace him with a man, and he must be a strong man.

Another thing is, you can take a break if you're tired. There's no need to rush. You won't have anything to do after delivering the money. But they're different. They have to monitor surveillance, inspect branches, report today's transport situation to the city branch, and ---"

Before Li Cheng could finish, Lao Yue stared at him fiercely, then leaned over, picked up a cash box, and put it heavily on the armored car------

Li Cheng smiled and left, and behind him came Tan Wenjie's "hahaha" laughter.

After arriving at the office, Li Cheng first turned on the water dispenser, then sat aside and waited. The water dispenser made a "humming" sound, and Li Cheng immediately thought of Weng Xiaozhu again.

What was the origin of this Weng Xiaozhu? A woman who opened a teahouse that was frequented by distinguished people and spent all day among them was definitely not an ordinary woman.

Then there's Meng Jianghong, who's known Weng Xiaozhu for a long time, and they get along just like real sisters. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and Meng Jianghong is already a mysterious figure, so it's clear that Weng Xiaozhu holds even more mysteries.
