The Ning family held a prestigious position in Rongcheng, with members of the Ning family occupying a place in every field.
Sheng Xuan vaguely remembered that the principal of No. 1 Middle School back then was Ning Lang's cousin.
"Why? If you like eating that kind of pig swill in the cafeteria, then eat it yourself. Why are you dragging everyone else down with you?"
Ning Lang smiled, a smile that seemed completely harmless.
"Because I like to see you so hungry that you're dizzy and weak, and in the end you have to eat pig swill."
Sheng Xuan: "..."
That despicable fellow! He's full of wicked thoughts and schemes!
If it hadn't been told, he would still be completely unaware!
He angrily shoveled rice into his mouth, then stuffed a piece of pork into it.
At this moment, Ning Lang picked out two yellow herbs from her set meal and put them into his bowl.
Sheng Xuan glanced at it and asked, "What is it?"
Ning Lang replied, "Licorice."
Sheng Xuan was forced to painfully change her picky eating habits several years ago, and now eats whatever is available for her three meals a day.
After eating one, I found it to be sweet with a slightly bitter aftertaste, which was quite good, so I ate the other one as well.
Ning Lang raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "Want some more?"
Sheng Xuan asked suspiciously, "Don't you eat any yourself? Don't you like it?"
Strange! Back in high school, the two of them sat together every day, but he never noticed that she was picky about food.
She nodded.
Sheng Xuan quickly devoured the remaining licorice root from the takeout box in front of her, like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind, leaving nothing behind, his attitude as natural as could be.
Ning Lang smiled but said nothing and continued eating.
He ate quickly and was full in no time, then put the food back in his basket.
"The wound has been stitched up, and the traitor has been fooled. Help me cover for this and let me sneak out of the hospital. Uncle Qing is probably very worried because I haven't been back to the old house for so long."
After speaking, he stood up and threw his thin coat on.
"I'll go back and see him first. As soon as Ning Rui has any news, have him contact me immediately."
Ning Lang calmly wiped his mouth and said, "Stop fooling me! You're going to settle accounts with Sheng Ju, aren't you?"
Forehead?!
Sheng Xuan paused, about to take a step, and pursed her lips.
"I've been bullied to this extent, I'd be a coward if I didn't fight back! He's cunning and treacherous, I won't fight him openly! At worst, I'll give him a taste of his own medicine. If I can't beat him, I'll at least scare him out of his wits!"
She's incredibly smart; it's impossible to keep it from her. So, I might as well just tell her the truth.
“I’ve had enough of this! When my grandfather passed away and we were holding his funeral, they took advantage of the situation, robbing and stealing everything, and then they even made my father faint from anger. When I sent him abroad for medical treatment, they cut off all my sources of income, bankrupted me, and ruined my advertising company!”
Others value money over their lives, but they are incredibly greedy; now they want his life too!
The person who spoiled him rotten when he was a child is now going to great lengths to send him to heaven.
Since that's the case, why doesn't he just go all out with them and see who can last until the very end!
Sheng Xuan took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Don't stop me, I'm going to—"
“There’s nothing we can do now,” Ning Lang interrupted calmly. “They’ve been on guard all along. Are you going to walk into the lion’s den? You haven’t stayed in Rongcheng for long these past few years. They have a bunch of ruthless thugs working for them. What do you have? Hmm?”
Sheng Xuan raised her chin, full of confidence.
"I'm sure I can get out of here unscathed!"
Ning Lang teased him, saying he never needed to consult the almanac, and said in a low voice, "If I were five minutes late in the morning, you would already be a meat pie in the funeral home."
Sheng Xuan: "..."
