Chapter 25 Stranger

"That's natural, this is the best Tieguanyin." Tang Jing was complacent.

Ning Xia shrugged her nose, "The word 'superior' is a sarcasm now, don't show off your super quality." Tang Jing slapped her on the forehead as soon as she finished speaking.

"You young people are actually ruining such a beautiful Chinese language!" Tang Jing gave Ning Xia a sideways look.

Ning Xia pouted, gave Tang Jing a blank look, and continued drinking her tea.

At this time, Tang Jing's mobile phone on the counter rang. Tang Jing sat on the rattan chair and was too lazy to move, so he asked Ning Xia to help him pick it up.Ning Xia put down her teacup, walked to the counter, and when she picked up her phone, the second senior brother who appeared on the caller ID on the screen came into Ning Xia's eyes, and Ning Xia burst out laughing, second senior brother?Who doesn't know that the second senior brother is Zhu Bajie these days?

"What are you laughing at, what are you peeping at?" Tang Jing saw that Ning Xia was smiling like something, leaned out of the chair slightly, and stared at Ning Xia.

Ning Xia walked over while flicking his mobile phone at Tang Jingbi, "What year is it? Returning to the second senior brother? Don't tell me, you are a Drifting Monk!"

Tang Jing's face changed slightly, but it wasn't because of Ning Xia's taunting words. Before Ning Xia walked in, he had already stood up from his chair with a groan, grabbed the phone in Ning Xia's hand, and instead of answering the call, he directly pulled the battery , I didn't put the battery back in after that, and just threw it on the tea table in front of me.

what happened?Ning Xia glanced at the cell phone and battery that Tang Jing threw on the tea table, saw water stains on the table, and helped Tang Jing pick up the battery and cell phone, Tang Jing thought she was going to help him put the battery back, and his face changed , yelling at Ningxia, "Don't mind your own business!"

Since the day Ning Xia came to work in this store, Ning Xia has only seen Tang Jing's stinginess and lack of shape, and has never seen him angry.It seems that the second senior brother who called him must be the one who made trouble for Tang Jing.

"The phone is wet." Even though Tang Jing yelled at her, Ning Xia was not angry. Instead, she explained to Tang Jing why she picked up the phone.

"Oh!" Tang Jing's face softened, and he sat back in the wicker chair again, but when he sat down, his buttocks seemed to be stabbed, and he couldn't sit still.Not long after, he stood up again with a gloomy expression on his face. This was Tang Jing who Ning Xia had never seen before.He took out all the banknotes from the cash drawer, left a stack for Ningxia, put the rest in his bag, and said to Ningxia, "You take the money first, and help me look at the store for a few days. If someone comes to look for it Me, just say that I went out to pick up goods, and I don’t know when I’ll be back.” After finishing speaking, he put the money on the table, took the mobile phone and battery that Ning Xia had wiped off the water stains for him, and was still worried about the battery, so he put it directly on his super Padded shorts pocket, and then hurried out.

Ning Xia just complied without asking Tang Jing why.In this world, sometimes relatives are more terrifying than strangers, family?friendship?You trust these friendships, but someone takes advantage of your deep affection to kill them.Tang Jing's second senior brother must be like this.Or is Tang Jing himself such?
Originally, she came here to ask Tang Jing for her salary back so that she could survive with money. Now Tang Jing handed over the store to her and ran away by herself. Ning Xia could only stay and help him look after the store.Even in his heart, he was worried that after Nie Chen and the others found out that she had run away, they would tell the Ning family to help find someone, and then whether that bitch Lu Xiangqin would be found here again, but Tang Jing trusted her and handed over the store to her. So how can she live up to the trust?

Picking up the money Tang Jing left for her, and counting it, it was 700 yuan, and she laughed immediately, not to mention that she was blinded by money, and a penny was hard for a hero, not to mention that she is not a mentally handicapped woman of a hero?
In the evening, Ningxia still closes the store at the usual time.Then she went back to the house she shared with others as before. Unexpectedly, after returning, she found that the door had been locked. After knocking on the door for a long time, a strange girl came to answer the door. When she saw Ning Xia, she asked her who she was looking for.
"I live here. The room to the east is my room. You are the new tenant."

"What are you talking about? Why do you live here? My classmates and I just rented this place a few days ago, and there is no one else." The girl replied with a look of surprise.

Ning Xia was immediately stunned, what's going on?The rent she paid was still two months away. How did this landlord, who had an eye for money, make such a profit? She forced someone to rent another place before her lease expired?

With that strange girl who had already rented the house, there was no way to talk about it. Ning Xia immediately called the landlord, and the answer she got was that Xiao Wei, who shared the rent with her, had already checked out the house with her, and she withheld it for half a month. Xiaowei took all the rent and the rest of the money.

What?Ningxia's expression changed immediately, and she shouted at the landlord on the phone, "Then where are my things?"

"When I came to collect the house, Xiao Wei moved all the things in the house away. I asked at the time, what about Xiao Ning? She said that you went to another place to find a job. She returned the house and packed things. I will also go to other places to find you..."

Ningxia fainted, all her belongings were swept away?Hanging up the phone, Ningxia's lungs were about to explode, but she calmed herself down very quickly. Her own life had been taken away, let alone those belongings?It's just that it's easy to say that everything is gone, that is, the picture of her mother.

Ningxia felt sour in her heart, and tears fell down.Sadness entangled her, and after a long time, she wiped away her tears with the back of her hand because it was getting darker and darker. She said she would not cry casually.

Fortunately, now she not only has the money Tang Jing left her, but she can also go back to Tang Jing's shop, where there is a room to live in.

In this way, Ningxia turned back to Antique Street.When it was time to arrive at Huabaoxuan, under the street lights, Ning Xia saw someone knocking on Huabaoxuan's door.Antique Street is not like other streets, there will be a night market at night, no one will come here when it gets dark, not to mention that Huabaoxuan is located in the most remote corner of Antique Street, and no one will come here at this time.

who?If she hadn't planned to sleep here tonight, Ning Xia would have turned around and ran away. She is a weak woman. If the other party came to ask Tang Jing for debts and revenge, wouldn't she be in trouble?

Stopping aside, Ningxia observed the movement. If the person continued to smash the door, she would consider first calling the police to protect the store, and second, leaving here and staying in a hotel.

The figure knocked on the door for a long time, but when there was no movement, he chose to give up, and was about to turn around to leave, when he caught sight of Ningxia standing nearby, he called out to Ningxia, "Who?"

Seeing that person noticed her, Ningxia panicked for a while. Running at this time is to show her timidity. If the person is a bad person, then she will know that she is easy to bully, and it will definitely make her very unlucky.Ning Xia collected himself, calmed himself down, and answered the man's question, "I'm from the store next door. Are you looking for the boss of Huabaoxuan? He's not here, he's gone out to pick up goods."

The man groaned, paused, and then said, "So, can this lady do me a favor? If Tang Jing comes back, call me and let me know."

"Okay!" Ning Xia's voice was bright, and she seemed to agree happily.

Seeing that Ningxia agreed, the man came over and said that he would hand over Ningxia's business card.

Ning Xia responded, waiting tremblingly for the man to pass by, and then took the business card from him.As the distance got closer, Ningxia could also see the man's face clearly under the street lights. A man in his 40s, with a dignified appearance, didn't look like a bad guy.However, these days, none of the villains have engraved words on their faces, and Ning Xia is not careless because of the impression this middle-aged man gives.

"I'm Tang Jing's friend. I need to contact him for something urgent, so I'm sorry to trouble you. Let me know when Tang Jing comes back." After speaking, he took out his wallet from his pocket, took out a stack of banknotes and handed it to Ning Xia , smiled and said to Ningxia, "I'll buy you some snacks with this money."

Ning Xia refused to take it, so the person said again, "Is it too little?" After speaking, he took a few more from his wallet.

It seems that if she doesn't want it, it won't be enough. Ningxia can only accept the money, and then promise the middle-aged man, "Please rest assured, if I find out that Boss Tang is back, I will notify you as soon as possible."

The middle-aged man smiled and said hello, thanked Ningxia, then said goodbye and walked back to Huabaoxuan's shop, got into a car on the side of the road, and left by car.

Seeing that the person had already left, Ningxia hurried to Huabaoxuan, opened the door, entered the shop, and closed the anti-theft door.

First count the banknotes that the middle-aged man gave her, more than 4000 yuan.So generous, just to get a call from her?It seems that this person's approach to Tang Jing may not be as simple as collecting debts.

Putting down the money, Ning Xia took a look at the business card again, it was impressively written on it that the CEO of a certain company was named Sha Baiyang.

Still a big shot?Ning Xia put down the corner of her mouth and threw the business card on the counter. The title is not small, but she is most afraid that it is added by herself, not someone she is familiar with. It is really difficult to make her believe anything. After my father was almost killed.

Ning Xia went to the room inside to tidy up. Tang Jing would take a nap in the store at noon, so the room was fully furnished with bedding and a mat was spread on the bed.Usually Ningxia is a little bit of a little cleanliness, but this is an extraordinary period, and all her belongings have been copied by that Xiaowei. Now it is very good to have a place to sleep, and other things can not be dismissed.What's more, it's summer now, and it's too hot, so there's no need to cover up with a quilt.Ning Xia wiped the mat twice with a wet towel, and then got ready to sleep.

When she went to the front to turn off the lights, she noticed that she was throwing the business card on the counter. Thinking of the name on the business card, she repeated it silently, "Sha Baiyang..."

It's quite a common name, but she suddenly felt as if she had heard it somewhere?Unable to help, Ning Xia picked up the business card and read it carefully again.The more I read it, the more familiar I feel.Tang Jing's laptop was in the room, and Ning Xia wanted to search the Internet to see if there was such a company or such a person.Opening the notebook, I found that Tang Jing had set a power-on password, so I had no choice but to let it go. It's none of her business anyway, so why bother?Ning Xia threw the business card on the table and lay down on the bed to sleep.

There are no windows in this room, and it is extremely hot in the summer. The old-fashioned ceiling fan in the room is still running slowly at the highest speed, making a constant creaking noise. Ningxia has always been worried about the rusty fan. Will the fan blade suddenly fall and hit her on the head?With such a mood, coupled with her worries about the future, she could not find peace of mind, and she was more tired sleeping than waking up this night.

In the morning, Ningxia woke up early, didn't have a good rest, she didn't have the energy to bother to get up, she lay on the bed and looked at the wall of the room boredly, she was familiar with this room before, except for the simple furniture, it was the There is an old-fashioned photo frame, which is still a broken photo frame with broken glass. Inside are some yellowed old photos. There are few single photos, and more group photos.

group photo?A thought suddenly flashed in Ningxia's mind. Before, Tang Jing took down the photo frame to look at the photos. When he put it back, he didn't hang it properly. It fell out of the photo frame. She helped Tang Jing clean it up. When she picked up the photo that fell on the ground, she took a look at the photo. It was a group photo of two young men, both of whom were handsome. Tang Jing asked Ning Xia to guess who was him in the photo, and she pumped hard for a long time. The two people on the picture were both handsome as hell, and they could chase after a row of girls behind their buttocks, so she pointed at the The stone lion behind the two people said, could Tang Jing be that stone lion?

Tang Jing was so angry that he almost choked to death. Seeing how angry he was, Ningxia looked at the photos carefully, but still couldn't find Tang Jing. He only saw a few words in yellow ink on the back of the photo: The hero in my heart, Sha Baiyang .

Thinking of this, Ning Xia jumped out of bed before she had time to put on her clothes, and took out the photo frame. Ever since the glass on the cover was broken, that stingy Tang Jing was not willing to reinstall a glass. The fragments, those photos were also scattered, scattered in the remaining glass surface, Ningxia carefully avoided the fragments, to prevent the glass from scratching her hands, took out all the photos inside, and looked for the photos she had seen one by one. of that photo.

Also at this time, in this pile of old photos, she repeatedly saw a figure of a man, a very handsome and gentle man, thin and full of bookishness, which really surprised Ningxia, such a handsome man Men, even now belong to the high-quality idol class.It's a pity, judging from the background and clothes of the characters in the photo, it should be from the 90s. Counting, the handsome guy at that time has already become an uncle by now. She is not a loli, and has no uncle control.

Ningxia also noticed a detail. Except for some photos of scenic spots, many photos were taken in an ancient courtyard, or in front of the gate or in the courtyard, and some were taken in antique rooms.Ningxia came to a conclusion that the elegant man who appeared repeatedly in the photos should be either rich or noble at that time, not a noble son, but also tall, rich and handsome.

After finally finding the photo she had seen before, Ning Xia confirmed that the name "Sha Baiyang" was written on the back of the photo.She had a vague impression of the man she met last night, and she vaguely felt that she should be the same person as the slightly shorter and older man in the photo.
