She had a poor appetite and only ate half a bowl of porridge and half a fried dough stick.
He always had a large appetite. After finishing his own portion, seeing that she couldn't eat anymore, he casually took the bowl and ate it in large bites, his actions as natural as could be.
Ning Lang's eyes flickered slightly as he calmly took out his phone to browse the news.
Back when the two were at odds, he would often steal her lunch and snacks, occasionally sip the herbal tea from her thermos, and even once, in front of many people, snatched a half-eaten chicken leg from her and devoured it...
She was used to it long ago.
Sheng Xuan coughed lightly and lowered his voice: "Last night I took Ah Bai for a drive in the suburbs and accidentally left some things at Half-Hulu Mountain."
Ning Lang raised an eyebrow and quickly clicked on Rongcheng's top news headlines.
As expected, the first major news story was—an unidentified "corpse" was found near Lingshan Scenic Area?! Police have gone to the site to conduct a quarantine investigation.
There are tons of comments below, and the thread has already gone up to several hundred floors.
—It's terrifying! I heard it was covered in blood! Someone who went for a morning run on the mountain discovered it and immediately called the police, but was so scared that their legs went weak and they couldn't run down the mountain!
—Oh no! Isn't that piece of land with half a gourd on the market going to be auctioned off tomorrow?! Who would dare to buy it?!
—I heard that piece of land might be used as a supplement to Lingshan, and now even if it were given away for free or with additional compensation, no one would want it!
Several police cars were there, blocking off the scene and setting up a cordon. Reporters and onlookers were waiting outside!
...
Ning Lang glanced at it quickly and casually clicked "close".
"The police will definitely issue a public clarification soon that it's garbage, but public opinion is a powerful force, and tomorrow's auction is definitely too late."
Sheng Xuan smiled wickedly, "That's exactly the effect I wanted."
Knowing that he was determined to get that piece of land, Ning Lang couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to attend tomorrow?"
He had already transferred money to her account and asked her to help him take the picture.
The land was originally unknown, and it was discovered before the auction process that it didn't even have a legal name. Because its shape resembles half a gourd, the authorities officially named it "Half Gourd," and this has already been officially announced.
There have been recent rumors that the land in Banhulu is too small and is right next to Lingshan, so it may be auctioned off together with Lingshan in a "buy one get one free" manner.
Fortunately, he pulled some tricks, otherwise he might not have even had a chance to be auctioned off.
Sheng Xuan looked at her with his deep eyes and said in a low voice, "You don't look well, and A-Lu is sick again. It would be better if I went with you."
Ning Lang's eyes flickered slightly as she avoided his gaze.
“I can manage on my own. Tomorrow, the second branch of the Sheng family is the main focus. If you go, given Sheng Yu’s arrogant and disgusting nature, she will immediately find an opportunity to embarrass you. In your current state, it’s better to avoid trouble.”
The advertising company went very smoothly after it opened, and he also made a lot of money by secretly trading in the stock market.
Now is the time to bide our time and strengthen ourselves. The other side has lowered its guard, so the smartest and most rational thing to do is to avoid appearing under their noses.
Sheng Xuan shrugged and gave a sneer.
"I'm not even afraid of the humiliation of 'falling on the streets, drowning my sorrows in alcohol and committing suicide,' so what else am I afraid of? If he dares to embarrass me, I'll only make him embarrass himself even more!"
Seeing that he insisted, Ning Lang did not stop him.
"Please pick me up in that van tomorrow morning. We'll be there at 9:30."
Sheng Xuan nodded.
Ning Lang was worried about A Lü. Seeing that he had already devoured the food, he stood up and walked towards the side door not far away.
He quickly got up and followed.
The KFC was very warm, but as soon as the door opened, a cold north wind howled in, and Ning Lang couldn't help but shiver!
He saw her, took large strides to her side, and used his tall frame to shield her from the wind.
Let's go!
