Chapter 148 Little Sister Liang Caiming
Liu Lanxin had had enough.
Ever since she returned, her mom was convinced that she had slept with Xia Liu.
Moreover, the way her family looked at her carried an unspoken implication.
"Xia Liu, it's all your fault. See? Now the family thinks I have something with you..."
"Miss, how can you blame me for this? I am the victim here." Xia Liu was truly helpless.
"Oh, you're such a big victim, aren't you? Did you lose your reputation or your body?"
"Both!" Xia Liu was right.
He truly had lost out, considering the detoxification, he had felt weak for a good while.
Now the Liu family also misunderstood that he had made moves on this girl. If that wasn't a loss, what was?
"Ugh, enough, let's just go to sleep." Once home, Liu Lanxin dumped Xia Liu in the living room and ran upstairs.
Her mind was in chaos because she actually wanted to try out what her family had misunderstood.
Shaking his head helplessly, Xia Liu also headed to the room he had stayed in a few times before.
The next morning, Xia Liu washed up and left early.
After saying goodbye to Liu Buyi, he drove off.
He had a lot of things to do and couldn't delay any longer.
Following the address given by Li Ming, Xia Liu arrived at a location in the suburbs of Binlai City.
At that moment, many cranes surrounded the area; blocks of commercial buildings were under construction.

In the center of these under-construction commercial buildings, there was an old residential building likely built in the 1980s.
"This must be the place," Xia Liu muttered as he got out of the car after checking the old residential area.
According to Li Ming, Liang Caiming lived in this old-style building.
Initially, Xia Liu thought he would have to knock on doors house by house.
But as he got closer and saw the situation, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Most of the tenants from the first and second floors had moved out, leaving the apartments empty.
With five floors in total, Xia Liu went from apartment to apartment to check.
Most of them had their doors wide open with nothing inside.
Because they had relocated.
If so, that meant Liang Caiming might not live here anymore.
This was going to be complicated.
If Liang Caiming had earned Li Ming's endorsement, then her abilities must definitely be good.
Looking for someone else would mean more delays.
Just as he was walking down to the second floor, suddenly a person came up from the stairwell.
A woman dressed in jeans and a plaid shirt.
Her outfit wasn't flashy, but it clearly accentuated her figure.
She was pretty standard in looks, sporting a ponytail and appearing like a high schooler, likely not too old.
"Hi, little sister, do you know someone named Liang Caiming? She used to live here too." Xia Liu adjusted his mood and asked as soon as the girl came up to face him.
"Who are you, and what do you want with Liang Caiming?" the girl asked Xia Liu, her body instinctively recoiling as she spoke.
It was like a child being approached by a stranger, wanting to shrink back and escape out of fear.
"I heard from Boss Ming, a ship seller, that Liang Caiming is experienced in salvaging marine products, so I came to see if there's a chance for collaboration."
Although he thought the girl was a high schooler, Xia Liu still told the truth.
Tricking kids was definitely not right.
"Ugh, you're not from the demolition team?" Hearing Xia Liu say this, the girl obviously breathed a sigh of relief.
"What demolition team?" When the girl said this, Xia Liu felt something was very wrong., there must be something questionable about this.
"Ah, the people from the demolition team have been urging me to move, but they're not giving me any assurances. If I move out, I might not even have a place to live anymore."
"That's kind of unscrupulous. Wait till I find Liang Caiming, I will definitely seek justice for you."
"No need to search anymore, I am Liang Caiming." The girl stared at Xia Liu and said, word for word.
"What! You are Liang Caiming!!!"
Xia Liu's eyes suddenly widened, he could hardly believe that this girl, who looked like a high school student, was actually Liang Caiming!
He clearly remembered, Li Ming had said.
Liang Caiming is twenty-six today, but looking at this girl in front of him.
Twenty-six? Saying she's eighteen would even seem a bit much.
"Don't be so surprised, I really am Liang Caiming."
Liang Caiming had been troubled ever since she graduated from high school.
Because of her baby face, people always doubted her real age.
After she turned twenty, she went to job interviews with her ID card, but without exception.
No child labor, and, to exaggerate, some companies even wanted to call the police, suspecting her of using a fake ID for job-seeking, which is considered fraud.
If the company were reported, the ensuing inspections could mean significant fines.
Liang Caiming had tears but nowhere to cry, her ID card was real, but no one would believe it.
In the end, she could only choose jobs with harsh conditions. Eventually, she worked on a fishing boat and slowly made her way up to captain.
If not for the housing issue, she might still be at sea now.
"This ID card is real. It's just that I can't figure out, how do you look so young?"
Xia Liu was a skilled observer, he could distinguish the authenticity of an ID card at a glance.
He was astonished because this girl was defying the norms.
Even his own cultivation of the Five Elements Mantra, which would usually show some changes as one aged.
But not her, at twenty-six years old, she still looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Of course, that's just the face, her figure was still very nice.
At least a C cup, with a rather even S-shaped figure.
A girl like Liang Caiming, would attract heaps of wealthy suitors anywhere.
If they knew her real age, the number of men pursuing her would be even greater.
The value of unchanged appearance, a woman who remains young lying beside you every day, that's more blissful and important than anything.
"Right, you just mentioned something about the houses being demolished without guarantees, what's that about?"
"Ah, I don't know what beast has eaten the developer's conscience, originally the residents here were compensated three thousand per square meter - you know, the current market price is six to seven thousand per square meter."
Liang Caiming didn't know if Xia Liu could help her, she just wanted to complain to someone about the ruthless developer.
"In that case, if you had to buy a house here, you could only afford half the area of your previous home, this developer really is ruthless."
"Yes, if you don't move out, many thugs come by every day to harass you, all to make it unbearable for you so you have to sign their contract."
Liang Caiming felt helpless, she had not been able to sleep well these past few days.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
She even had to sneak around whenever she went out, fearing those thugs might spot her.
Boom, boom, boom...
Just as Xia Liu was about to speak, a sudden sound of motorcycle exhaust came from downstairs.
Then a fierce shout followed: "People upstairs, listen up, come all down here!"
