Chapter 146: The Junior Sister Comes Knocking Directly!

"I saw you and Tang Ye at the residential complex this morning."

"Oh? Then why didn't you come over to say hello to us?"

Du Xi had never imagined that Xiao Hui and Shao Jinbo's marital home was also in Xiyue Garden.

"I had things to do at the time, and I didn't dare disturb your sweet time as a young couple. By the way, are you planning to buy a house in Xiyue Garden?" Xiao Hui's words carried a hint of probing.

"His parents have already bought him a house, and it's just about to be renovated." Du Xi did not hide anything.

"Looking at it this way, we'll be neighbors in the future!" Xiao Hui's voice seemed to carry a note of excitement.

"Tang Ye is your neighbor." Du Xi's face turned red instantly, and she hurriedly corrected her.

"You and Tang Ye will get married sooner or later anyway. Congratulations in advance to you two newlyweds."

When Xiao Hui said this, her heart was a mix of complicated emotions.

It was as if she didn't feel happy now because her happiness had been stolen by Du Xi!

In the evening, as soon as Shao Jinbo got home, Xiao Hui shared with him, "Do you know? Tang Ye bought a house in Xiyue Garden and is preparing to renovate it."

Shao Jinbo's originally good mood was as if a basin of cold water had been poured over it; it was all gone.

"This guy, his competitive spirit is too strong. He has to compete with me in everything. Even buying a house, he has to follow right on my heels. How annoying!"

Xiao Hui secretly thought Shao Jinbo was incredibly arrogant and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just a coincidence; his mother bought the house."

Shao Jinbo felt even more unhappy, "Why do you always side with him? Could it be that you still haven't forgotten your old flame?"

Xiao Hui felt incredibly wronged and hurriedly explained, "I am just speaking the truth."

Shao Jinbo was so angry he let out a "Hmph," turned around, and went into the room.

Outside, Xiao Hui vaguely heard Shao Jinbo making a phone call.

Vaguely, she even heard Tang Ye's name.

She had an inexplicable bad premonition, feeling that Shao Jinbo was planning to do something unfavorable to Tang Ye.

……

Tang Ye chose a renovation plan, confirmed it with Jia Teng, paid the deposit, and gave him the keys.

Jia Teng thought Tang Ye was in a hurry to renovate for his wedding, so he arranged for people to start work without delay.

Monday morning.

Tang Ye organized his documents and stood up, preparing for a meeting.

The office door was suddenly knocked.

Tang Ye looked up, his eyes full of surprise.

A beautiful woman was standing quietly at the door.

She slowly took off her sunglasses, revealing her fine features, her eyes flowing with emotion, hiding feelings like a thick storybook.

"Tang Ye, long time no see."

Tang Ye was stunned for a good while before he realized that the girl in front of him was truly Shen Sichun.

"Why didn't you call me Senior? You've become distant."

Back then, they were a famous golden couple at school; others saw them as a pair, and they were the envy of everyone wherever they went.

Shen Sichun entered a state-owned enterprise to work right after graduation, while Tang Ye chose to continue his postgraduate studies.

Gradually, the two lost contact.

In the end, it was because their values were different; as they walked, they drifted onto different paths.

Before the New Year, Shen Sichun had called Tang Ye, but Tang Ye didn't answer at the time.

He hadn't expected that this girl would come knocking on his door directly.

"That's a must, you will always be my good Senior." Shen Sichun smiled, sat down on the sofa, and said with a touch of playfulness, "Aren't you going to pour a glass of water for your junior? That's a bit impolite."

The corners of Tang Ye's mouth lifted slightly, pulling into a faint smile as he handed a glass of water to Shen Sichun.

Just then, Xu Qiao walked to the door, stole a glance at Shen Sichun, and reminded him, "Town Mayor Tang, the meeting is about to start."

Tang Ye nodded at Xu Qiao and replied, "I'm heading over now."

Once Xu Qiao left, Shen Sichun's beautiful eyes rolled slightly, and she said with a teasing tone, "Senior is doing quite well! Your female subordinate is so pretty; you're quite lucky."

Tang Ye didn't take her bait, "I have to go to a meeting. If you have things to do, go ahead, don't wait for me..."

Shen Sichun shook her head and said with a grin, "Finding you is the most important thing for me right now."

After Tang Ye finished his meeting and returned to the office, he didn't expect Shen Sichun to still be waiting for him.

He adjusted his mood and sat opposite Shen Sichun.

"Speak, why did you suddenly come to find me?"

Shen Sichun smiled and said, "Why so serious? Can't I come to see you if there's nothing wrong?"

Tang Ye shook his head, "I know you well; you wouldn't come to the temple without a reason."

Shen Sichun took a deep breath and took a project proposal out of her bag, "Senior, I am coming to Pinghu to participate in the construction of the provincial-level Resort Project. We will be seeing each other often in the future."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled, "Is that so? If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me."

Shen Sichun's eyes turned red, "I volunteered to participate in this project! Senior, can't you understand why in your heart?"

Tang Ye interrupted Shen Sichun's words, "Let's turn the page on those past events, whether they were happy or unpleasant."

Shen Sichun knew that Tang Ye was still brooding over what happened back then.

But, Shen Sichun felt that Tang Ye couldn't understand her pain.

She had a younger brother, and to put him through university, she had made a promise to her parents that once she graduated, she would find a stable job.

For Shen Sichun, love was too much of a luxury.

After three years of settling down, Shen Sichun's career was stable, and she didn't lack suitors, but no one could replace Tang Ye's position in her heart.

Shen Sichun stood up abruptly, her expression turning cold, "I see you're busy, so I won't disturb you anymore."

Tang Ye gave a grunt of acknowledgment, not looking at Shen Sichun, and certainly having no intention of seeing her out.

Shen Sichun bit her lip and left, looking dejected and heartbroken.

The relationship between Tang Ye and Shen Sichun was completely innocent.

In order to get a job at a state-owned enterprise, Shen Sichun had begged him and persuaded Jiang Jinpeng to organize a gathering.

She had flirted with the leaders at the dinner table, only to explain to him afterward that it was just for show, and even turned the tables to blame him for being too petty.

In that instant, Tang Ye realized that power is a sharp blade that can twist a person's heart.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Ye was busy writing the project bidding documents for the high-end real estate development.

Suddenly his phone rang, and upon checking the caller ID, he saw it was Guo Zhengting calling.

As soon as the call connected, Guo Zhengting ordered emotionlessly, "Tang Ye, get to the county seat immediately; there is a welcome banquet, don't be late again."

Tang Ye had always been punctual, but Guo Zhengting held a prejudice in his heart, so he felt compelled to label Tang Ye as someone who was always late.

Tang Ye dared not delay; he went to the General Office to fill out the vehicle usage information and drove toward the county seat.

Although Guo Zhengting usually didn't give Tang Ye a pleasant look, in front of outsiders, he would still put on an act and give Tang Ye plenty of face.

As soon as he saw Tang Ye, Guo Zhengting walked up with a face full of smiles, pointed at a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes beside him, and introduced him: "Town Mayor Tang, this is our honored guest, General Manager Jiang from the Provincial State-owned Assets Investment who is in charge of the Pinghu Resort Project!"

Jiang Yuan looked Tang Ye up and down several times, an expression of surprise appearing on his face, and said with a smile, "Department Head Qi has mentioned you to me quite a few times; I didn't expect you to be so young, a formidable youth indeed..."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan enthusiastically reached out his hand to shake Tang Ye's.

Immediately afterward, Jiang Yuan began introducing the others present to Tang Ye.

When it came time to introduce Shen Sichun, Tang Ye reached out his hand in a proper and formal manner.

Who would have known that Shen Sichun would secretly play a trick and pinch him hard with her fingernails.

Tang Ye was startled, but he still had to force himself to remain calm on the surface.

While enduring the piercing pain in his hand, he muttered to himself in his heart:

Haven't seen her in a few years, and she hits so hard; she's getting more and more wild!
