Chapter 131 - 130: So Fierce (1 more)
Jin Yu brought Xu Niannian to Nanshui Street, and they walked side by side, with matching appearances and outstanding demeanors, causing passing pedestrians to turn their gazes toward them.
Men’s eyes seemed glued to Xu Niannian, and while women were a bit more restrained, they took several lingering looks at Jin Yu before withdrawing their attention.
However, the two being observed were indifferent, completely ignoring the stares from those around them.
Xu Niannian was busy taking in her surroundings, the houses lining both sides of the street—each a separate unit with its own courtyard, unlike the common residential complexes.
She noticed that the neighborhood was quite populated, but oddly, there wasn’t a single restaurant, just a few small stores.
Many of these courtyards dated back to the time of the landlords of the Republic of China. They had once been sealed off, but now they were opened up again.
Moreover, she realized something—people living here seemed different from others she had encountered.
If she had to describe the feeling, these people all carried themselves with a certain pride, as if they walked with their chins held a few inches higher than the rest.
Considering this, it made sense, didn’t it? Who but the wealthy could afford such large courtyards here?
