Two weeks later, Ning Lang, who had been busy preparing for the new advertising company, was summoned to the old house by her elders for a lecture.
Some people even saw that when Miss Ning left the old house, her eyes were red, she put on sunglasses to cover them up, and hurriedly got into her car and left.
Afterwards, Ning Lang went to the small hotel herself and left the disheveled Sheng Xuan on the second floor of her newly rented herbal tea shop.

Sheng Family Manor on the outskirts of the city, first floor banquet hall
"Dad, there's no need to send anyone to follow that kid anymore!" Sheng Yu crossed his legs and sneered, "He's just a lump of mud now! What's the point of wasting time and money on that!"
Sheng Ju had gray hair, a kind face, and a cold glint in his gray eyes.
"If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring. As long as that kid lives, he'll always be a thorn in my side."
Sheng Yu chuckled and said, "We don't even need to lift a finger. That kid is being tormented to the point of near death by Ning Lang, and he doesn't even have a place to stay! Ning Lang has always been his mortal enemy. He was fearless enough to marry her and then divorce her, and then he went and found that 'Sister Lin' from the Lin family. Ning Lang is practically ready to skin him alive and tear his tendons apart!"
Sheng Ju squinted his eyes and elegantly swirled the red wine in his wine glass.
"Is that kid really so颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate, but it implies a state of being listless, dispirited, or decadent) that he drinks himself into oblivion every day?"
“Yes!” Sheng Yu explained, “She eats takeout for every meal and buys more than a dozen bottles of wine a day. She’s either drunk to death or has a drunken rampage. Yesterday, Ning Lang was scolded by the elders of the Sheng family. They probably blamed her for taking away Sheng Xuan’s only remaining old house. They said she shouldn’t have been so heartless. That’s why Ning Lang picked him up and left him on the second floor of the newly opened herbal tea shop.”
"A herbal tea shop?" Sheng Ju asked, "Where is it?"
Sheng Yu replied, “It’s in a high-end apartment building in the city center. The restaurant specializes in herbal tea and has three employees: two men and one woman. The second floor has only one and a half rooms, so small that you could bump into a wall if you turned around.”
After saying that, he laughed smugly, "It's so satisfying to see Sheng Xuan get to where he is today!"
Sheng Ju glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "It's better to be safe than sorry."
"Dad! Don't worry!" Sheng Yu shouted, "Sheng Xuan was dumped by that Lin Daiyu, he's broke and has no woman, he's as pathetic as a pile of mud! Ning Lang has always disliked him, with her helping us take care of him, what trouble could he possibly cause! Ning Lang is no pushover!"
Sheng Ju had no doubt about this.
"None of the Ning family members are simple. That little girl has disliked Sheng Xuan since she was a teenager; everyone in Rongcheng knows that."
Sheng Yu smiled with narrowed eyes and snorted, "So, with her helping us to torment Sheng Xuan, what do we need to do that requires such close monitoring!"
“Hmm.” Sheng Ju took a sip of red wine and smiled. “We really can’t rush things. He just went bankrupt and then he’s gone. It’s bound to arouse suspicion. Let him be depressed for a year or two, and then we’ll find an opportunity to shave off the rest of his roots.”
"Dad, what about his father?" Sheng Yu asked. "Is he still alive?"
Sheng Ju slowly shook his head and said gently, "The old man's death was a huge blow to Sheng Yu. His already weak body collapsed all at once. Sheng Xuan sent him to a high-end nursing home in Country B and asked a friend of his named David to take care of him."
“Ignore this old codger who’s just waiting to die!” Sheng Yu waved his hand impatiently and asked, “Dad, where’s the funding I asked for? The biggest mountain view plot in the suburbs is going to be auctioned off next month.”
Sheng Ju glared at him with displeasure and said in a deep voice, "You need to be steady and reliable in your actions and dealings. Don't be so impulsive all the time. There are a lot of people eyeing that piece of land, why are you getting involved!"
