Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 243

Lin Yi hugged the spare (two) skirt, wearing eight nine three pomegranates and starfruit, and gently comforted her.

Yang Tao leaned on Lin Yi's shoulder and couldn't help but ask, "My sister and brother-in-law have such a good relationship. They met when they were both struggling and have been through thick and thin together. Why did my brother-in-law cheat on me?"

“I don’t know. There must be something we don’t know about this. Only by finding your brother-in-law can we find out what happened,” Lin Yi said.

Yang Tao leaned on Lin Yi's shoulder and cried incessantly.

Yang Tao cried for a long time, then leaned on Lin Yi's shoulder until she was exhausted and calmed down.

Lin Yi said, "Just crying like this isn't enough; we need to find out why."

Yang Tao shook her head and said, "Given my sister's personality, when she found out her brother-in-law was cheating on her, I guess it was impossible for them to stay together."

"So you're just going to leave it at that? Aren't you going to go back and ask why?"

"How about I go back with you and ask you about the specific reason?" Lin Yi asked.

"correct."

Upon hearing this, Yang Tao immediately stood up and regained some of her energy.

Yang Tao arrived at the room and gently knocked on the door, saying, "Sister, let's go home. Let's ask your brother-in-law what he really thinks."

"Peach, let's not go. Let's just leave it at that." Su Qing said weakly in the room.

Lin Yi whispered, "Give me your brother-in-law's phone number, and I'll have him come to Shanghai. I'll pick him up when he arrives."

“Okay, this is Duan Xifeng’s phone number.” Yang Tao nodded.

In any case, things definitely need to be clarified face-to-face.

After making the call, Lin Yi went straight to the point and asked, "Is this Duan Xifeng?"

"Is something the matter?" The person on the other end also seemed rather listless.

"I'm Peach's boyfriend, my name is Lin Yi. I'm waiting for you at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. Come over quickly, Sister Qing has something to ask you," Lin Yi said.

“Okay, Lin Yi, you need to tell Su Qing that I was wronged.” Duan Xifeng agreed immediately.

"We'll talk about it when you get here. I'll be waiting for you at the airport," Lin Yi said.

"Okay, I'll be right there."

Lin Yi checked the time and said, "If he comes quickly, Duan Xifeng should arrive around 2 PM."

"Thank you, Lin Yi," Yang Tao said. "But what's this about you saying you're my boyfriend?"

"Nonsense, such a big thing happened in your family. If I didn't say I was your boyfriend and instead said I was your friend, how could I get involved?" Lin Yi said, "Besides, even if he's a fake boyfriend, he's still a boyfriend, right?"

Don't worry, I'll definitely help you with this kind of thing.

“That’s true.” Yang Tao nodded.

Yang Tao looked at Lin Yi and said, "Originally, Qing Jie and I had already agreed to treat you today, but who knew this would happen? I'm really sorry."

"I'm just having a meal, it's nothing."

Lin Yi said, "There's nothing we can do. Nobody wants to see something like this happen."

But what's done is done, and we have to face it.

Let's wait until Duan Xifeng arrives and hear what he has to say.

"Uh-huh."

Lin Yi and Yang Tao sat side by side on the sofa.

The two fell silent, and the room suddenly became quiet.

It's unclear how much time passed before Yang Tao's voice broke the silence.

Yang Tao said, "Lin Yi, there's a question I've always wanted to ask."

"Go ahead," Lin Yi said.

"Do you like me?" Yang Tao asked.

"I like you," Lin Yi said. "You're so beautiful, have such a good personality, and are so gentle... As a man, it's hard for me not to like you."

Lin Yi's answer surprised Yang Tao slightly.

It turns out that she was such a good person in Lin Yi's heart.

Yang Tao asked, "Then why haven't you contacted me for so long?"

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to find you, it's that I'm afraid to."

"What do you mean?" Yang Tao asked curiously.

“I have this feeling, a very strong one, but I don’t dare to disturb your life because I’m afraid I can’t give you the life you want,” Lin Yi said.

"How do you know you can't give me the life I want if you haven't even tried?" Yang Tao said, blushing.

"It's not your fault, it's my problem," Lin Yi said sadly. "But I still have to say, meeting you was my good fortune."

Lin Yi's ambiguous statement left Yang Tao quite puzzled.

"What's wrong with you?" Yang Tao couldn't help but ask the reason.

Lin Yi smiled, a tear involuntarily falling from his eye. He looked out the window and said nothing more.

Lin Yi's single tear stunned Yang Tao completely.

It turns out that Lin Yi not only liked her, but liked her so much.

However, for some reason, Lin Yi didn't dare to confess his feelings to her.

what is the reason?

Lin Yi didn't say anything, so Yang Tao didn't ask any further questions.

And so, the room returned to silence once again.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Yi said, "It's almost time. I'm going to pick up Duan Xifeng."

“I’ll go with you,” Yang Tao said.

"No need, no need. I'm worried about Qingjie being home alone. You need to keep an eye on her," Lin Yi said.

"Okay." Yang Tao had no choice but to nod and stay at home to take care of Sister Qing.

Before leaving, Yang Tao sent a photo of Duan Xifeng to Lin Yi, asking him to look for the source in the photo.

Lin Yi went to Hongqiao Airport, and Duan Xifeng was brought back in less than half an hour.

Upon seeing Duan Xifeng, Yang Tao immediately stood up and angrily asked, "My sister is so good to you, why did you treat her like this?"

“Peach, I… let me explain, I’ve been wronged,” Duan Xifeng said.

Lin Yi said, "Taozi, let Sister Qing come out. There are some things we need to clarify."

"it is good."

Yang Tao went to call Sister Qing, and after calling for a long time, Su Qing finally opened the door.

After Su Qing left, she remained silent, her usual radiance long gone.

Yang Tao quickly helped Sister Qing sit down on the sofa.

Su Qing said coldly, "Explain yourself. You and that woman were flirting around in such a big place as the capital, and my aunt actually saw it."

What, you and that woman aren't hiding anything from each other anymore?

"You were seen by my aunt. And what if she hadn't? Who knows how many times this has happened already."

Duan Xifeng quickly said, "Xiaoqing, listen to me. It's not what you think about me and that woman. She's the one trying to extort me."

“Continue,” Su Qing said.

Duan Xifeng said, "I first met her at a karaoke bar."

At that time, several of us from the company went to that KTV to have fun, but since we were all men, we found it boring, so we hired a few girls to sing with us. She was one of those girls.

That night, I drank too much. When I woke up, she took me to her rented room.

When I saw how dilapidated her place was, I felt sorry for her and gave her a thousand yuan as a way of thanking her for taking care of me.

But to my surprise, the next day she said that we had slept together and demanded that I take responsibility for her.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Duan Xifeng asked.

"As the saying goes, prostitutes are heartless and actresses are unfaithful. How can you believe what this kind of woman says?"

Putting aside the fact that this woman works at a KTV, she's not a good person to begin with.

Let's say you were drunk that night, how could you touch her? Unless a man is exceptionally gifted, he simply doesn't have the ability after drinking too much.

Your best course of action is to call the police and let her know that you are not someone to be trifled with.

"But you didn't, why?" Lin Yi said.

Yang Tao secretly patted him, telling him not to talk nonsense.

After hearing this, Duan Xifeng nodded repeatedly: "I've never encountered such a situation in my entire life."

When she said that, I started to panic.

I did consider calling the police, but she said if I dared to call the police, she would go to my workplace and ruin my reputation, and she would tell my wife the news, making my home unbearable.

I can't be without a job, and I can't let my wife (dacb) find out about this.

"So, you just obediently gave in?" Lin Yi said.

"Ah."

Duan Xifeng said, "When I met her again, she said I wanted to take responsibility for her. I told her I had a wife and it was impossible."

She said that if I wanted to shirk responsibility, I could give her a million.

"Is it studded with diamonds? Putting aside whether you've even touched her, even if you have, a hostess who was used once is now demanding a million dollars. She really dares to ask for that much." Lin Yi couldn't help but speak up.

"Cough cough..." Yang Tao coughed twice, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

Duan Xifeng said, "I told her I didn't have that much money, and she said she could give me a portion first. I had no choice but to give her 100,000 yuan."

I thought that was the end of it, but two months later, she told me she was pregnant and that the child was mine.
