After hearing what Tan Xue said, Wen Liang found it incredible and asked curiously, "Xiao Ning just pulled you out with a smile?"

Tan Xue frowned slightly, looking somewhat puzzled, and said, "Yeah, didn't you say that I didn't notice it? She's just a little girl, shouldn't she be angry?"

Wen Liang shook his head. Are you kidding? Ning Xiaoning was born into such a family. It would be good if she didn't skin the fat man in front of her after being insulted like this. But the man who was playing with Xu Yao not far away seemed to have taken the matter to heart. In fact, if you think about it carefully, you have known Ning Xiaoning for such a long time, and you rarely see her get angry. Maybe in the cold eyes of the girl, many people and things are not worth paying attention to, and they are not worth getting angry about.

If you don't understand something, don't think about it. Wen Liang directly stepped in between the two of them, opened his arms to protect the jumping Xu Yao behind him, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop making trouble for now! Coach, I heard from Sister Tan that you guys encountered some trouble at the landscape fish shop across the street just now?"

"Trouble?" Xu Yao stood on tiptoe, put her hands on Wen Liang's shoulders, and didn't care about playing with Ning Xiaoning. She said, "Xiaoning, what's going on?"

Ning Xiaoning said nonchalantly, "A fat guy said a few disgusting words, but I was working at the time. At work, you have to meet all kinds of people, especially when doing market research. Being misunderstood, wronged, or even insulted is a common occurrence. The first training class of the marketing department taught us these things. It's no big deal."

It turned out that the reason why she faced this matter with a smile was because she was at work at the time. Since she was an employee of Qinghe and since it was her job, she had to recognize her position, identify herself correctly, and do what she was supposed to do.

Wen Liang was in a complicated mood. He always thought that he understood the minds of the girls around him well enough, but facts again and again told him that every girl has her own world. They grow up quietly in this world, and then jump out to scare you when you are self-righteous.

Xu Yao couldn't understand Ning Xiaoning's logic and wondered, "Does it mean that for the sake of work, I have to be servile and submissive without dignity?"

Ning Xiaoning spoke calmly, but her words were definitely not what she should think at her age. She said, "Some people are born high and mighty, with no worries about food and clothing, so they don't have to embarrass themselves like this. But most ordinary people have to bend down to the greatest extent to survive, otherwise they will either starve to death or die of exhaustion, there is no third possibility!"

Xu Yao was very smart, of course she understood what Ning Xiaoning meant, but she had her own persistence and would never give in just because of her friend. She said, "If you have to abandon your dignity in order to survive, then you don't have to live like that. I firmly believe that only when a person respects himself can others respect him, and only when he is proud can others be proud of him. If you have to bend down just to survive, your back is too worthless!"

These are two completely different people. Ning Xiaoning looks cold and arrogant, making people stay away from her. She has no friends in No. 1 Middle School except Xu Yao and Wen Liang. However, this person is savvy in the ways of the world. When necessary, she can be more tactful than any of her peers. If she takes a step back, the sky will be broadened. There is no harm in taking a step back. Xu Yao is a lively and active person who has a great appeal to the people around her. Except for Liu Zhihe, she has the most followers in No. 1 Middle School. However, her superficial laughter does not mean that she is easy-going and has no opinion. On the contrary, as long as she believes in something, she will move forward no matter how great the resistance is.

The two of them were the same in their previous life and they are still the same in this life. The existence of kindness can only pull them out of their own paths occasionally, but the direction of their walking has never changed.

Seeing that the two were about to develop into a big debate, Wen Liang cleared his throat and prepared to use his wisdom to silence the two lolis. Originally, they were arguing about a false proposition. Which is more important, survival or dignity? In a thousand years, they had already argued about it. How could there be a correct answer

Unexpectedly, Ning Xiaoning took the initiative to give in, smiled slightly, and said: "We are not such people. We don't need to face the choice of bending down or looking up, so Yaoyao, it's useless for you to speak loudly."

Xu Yao rolled her eyes and said bitterly, "Xiao Ning, you are going to learn bad things from that brat. The saints said that the truth becomes clearer the more you argue about it, but it doesn't mean that the truth will disappear if you fool around every time."

"Saints said" is Ren Yi's favorite catchphrase. Xu Yao imitated it very well. Wen Liang patted her head and said, "Learn bad things from me? I think you are about to learn bad things from Ren Yi..."

Xu Yao held her head and ran to Ning Xiaoning with a pout. She just happened to see the fat man opposite coming out of the store. He whistled obscenely at two girls who happened to pass by, scaring the girls away quickly.

"Can you tolerate such a person?"

Xu Yao wanted to roll up her sleeves and beat the fat man into a pig's head in the street. Ning Xiaoning pinched her nose and said, "When you are working, you have to endure it for the sake of work. When the work is over, you don't have to endure it."

Before Ning Xiaoning finished her words, a jeep with a military license plate drove in from the north entrance of the street and stopped in front of the scenic fish gate. Six tall men jumped out of the car. Although they were in plain clothes, their sturdy aura showed that they could only be military personnel. Moreover, the fact that they didn't have license plates on them showed that they had no intention of hiding their identities.

The result was naturally no surprise. The fat man was really beaten into a pig's head, and the whole store was smashed like a tsunami. The water in the tank was mixed with all kinds of expensive fish and flowed all over the floor. However, in just five minutes, there was nothing intact in the house. The destructive power was unparalleled in the world.

After the military vehicles roared away, one or two of the shop owners who had been watching nearby went in to check what was going on. They then called an ambulance, the police, etc., and the scene became even more chaotic than before.

Xu Yao of course applauded at such a lively scene, Tan Xue also felt relieved, and Ning Xiaoning's expression remained unchanged, as if all this had nothing to do with her. Wen Liang smiled and said, "It is true that no one dares to control the arrogance of the army, but have you ever thought that it may have a bad impact on the people?"

Ning Xiaoning said coldly: "Listen, after smashing this store, are people happy or depressed?"

Wen Liang looked at the crowd around him who were watching and whispering. The undisguised gloating and joy on their faces made him realize that Ning Xiaoning was right. The fat man was so unscrupulous and acted like a hooligan. He was obviously a bully on the street. He must have done a lot of things to offend people. Who wouldn't applaud when he was punished

But today, good people fight bad people and the army is mobilized, so the army is not wrong; if tomorrow bad people fight good people and the army is also mobilized, is the army wrong

When the system has no cage, when power has no constraints, and when soldiers have no reverence, there will be no justice and fairness in this world. Fighting with money, power, and fathers, in the end, what you fight for are the flesh and blood of the common people!

Wen Liang does not have the urge to be a savior, nor is he naive enough to try to challenge the established rules of the entire society. The only thing he can do is to make himself more powerful and never be the oppressed one, while at the same time retaining a little humility and a little awe.

That’s enough!

Wen Liang gave a thumbs up and praised: "You took revenge immediately. I have dreamed of this for many years. I didn't expect that Lady Ning would achieve it first. I admire you!"

After leaving Zhoushan Road, Ning Xiaoning and Tan Xue asked for leave to leave work early. Xu Yao planned to go back to Guanshan tomorrow, so she suggested that the three of them go to the park together. Wen Liang naturally agreed. You can't go to the park without taking pictures. Xu Yao took the two of them back to Courtyard No. 1 and stole Xu Fuyan's SLR. Wen Liang didn't expect that Secretary Dian Deng had this hobby. Thinking of the many officials who were dismissed for their cameras in later generations, Uncle Wen was very wretched for a while. Of course, these dirty things are not to be told to outsiders.

The three of them had a crazy afternoon in the park and took many photos. Wen Liang was not a photo-taking person in his previous and next lives. In other words, apart from beautiful women and handsome men, few people would always point the camera at themselves narcissistically. When night fell, Xu Yao, who walked the most, accidentally sprained her ankle. She sat on a bench by the lake, hugging her ankle and crying out in pain. Wen Liang sighed, leaned over and carried her on his back, holding her legs with both hands from behind. The girl's long hair fell from her shoulders and gently brushed across her face with the wind.

Snap!

Ning Xiaoning pressed the shutter, and the picture was forever frozen at this moment. The rippling lake was shimmering with the last golden light of the setting sun, an unknown white bird was flying leisurely over the water, and a boy was walking slowly with a girl on his back, just like the most famous painter used meticulous brushwork to depict the two of them in this melodious painting, timeless and unforgettable.

Ning Xiaoning put away the camera and walked silently beside Wen Liang. No one knew what the girl was thinking, but what she also didn't know was that not far behind the three of them, another photography enthusiast pressed the shutter at the same time and took a photo of Wen Liang, Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning. It was also the only photo of the three of them.

Many years later, by chance, a girl discovered this photo at the photography exhibition of this enthusiast, paid a high price to buy it, and it became the most precious collection of her life!

After sending Xu Yao and Ning Xiaoning back to No. 1 Chunxi Road Courtyard, the two girls were going to sleep together and talk tonight. Uncle Wen shamelessly asked to join in, but was kicked and punched twice. He immediately shrank his head and dared not say a word.

But unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the hall, Xu Fuyan and Wen Huaiming came out of the study together. Seeing Wen Liang grinning and tilting his head, and Xu Yao who was as excited as riding a horse, they were both stunned.

Although Wen Liang was thick-skinned, he was so close to his daughter in front of her father, and Xu Yao even grabbed a strand of her hair, which was not very decent. He secretly pinched her thigh with his fingers and told her to get off quickly.

But at that moment, Wen Liang was thinking about something else.

The little Loli has really grown up!
