Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 161

Wang Manni was immediately embarrassed when she saw Lin Yi.

"At that moment, I wanted to dig my feet into the ground and bury myself," Wang Manni said.

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this.

“I think the views of the Shanghai aunties are wrong. When it comes to blind dates, you should look at multiple aspects, not just education and where they are from. That’s not blind dating,” Zhong Xiaoqin said indignantly.

“I think so too,” Wang Manni said.

"As for when you embarrassed yourself, it just so happened that Lin Yi saw it, which was indeed a bit awkward," Zhong Xiaoqin said.

“That’s right.” Wang Manni said helplessly, “This isn’t even the most embarrassing thing for 793. There are even more embarrassing things to come.”

"There's more?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked in surprise.

"After the matchmaking corner, I treated Lin Yi to dinner, and Lin Yi agreed."

After dinner, Lin Yi offered to take me home, but when we were almost at my place, the landlady suddenly called and said that her daughter was coming back and that I should move out.

I disagreed, and we started arguing.

Later, Lin Yi told me that he had an apartment in the Junyue Mansion complex, and the rent was the same as mine now,” Wang Manni said.

"That's impossible. The apartments in Junyue Mansion are close to the business district, so even renting them would be very expensive. Plus, the apartments are quite large. No matter how you calculate it, it shouldn't be six thousand. Normally, it would cost around twenty thousand a month," Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Yes, that's what I thought too."

"I thought that since Lin Yi rented such an expensive house to me for only six thousand yuan, I thought he was interested in me and wanted to keep me as a mistress," Wang Manni said.

"But he has a girlfriend, Nini, you wouldn't be..." Zhong Xiaoqin covered her mouth, extremely surprised.

Wang Manni said, "That's what I told Lin Yi. Guess what Lin Yi said next?"

"What did you say?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked curiously.

Lin Yi said that he did this purely because he felt sorry for me and asked why I was thinking so much.

If I don't want to pay less, I can pay the normal amount.

"Anyway, he wouldn't mind if I gave him six thousand, or twenty thousand," Wang Manni said.

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but laugh and said, "Nini, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit pitiful. For a rich person like Lin Yi, he probably doesn't really care about this little bit of money."

"After he said that, I found out later." Wang Manni hugged Zhong Xiaoqin and said, "Xiaoqin, you have no idea how embarrassed I was at the time. I even wanted to escape from this planet."

Honestly, why did I think so much? I don't know how I'll face Lin Yi in the future.

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at Wang Manni, thought about it seriously for a moment, and said, "Nini, could it be that you have some ideas?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Manni asked instinctively.

“It means you have feelings for Lin Yi, otherwise you wouldn’t have said those things,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Me? Have feelings for Lin Yi? Impossible, absolutely impossible." Wang Manni said firmly, "Let me tell you, Xiaoqin, if Lin Yi didn't have a girlfriend, I would definitely agree, but he has a girlfriend. I can't do such a thing."

“Having feelings doesn’t necessarily mean loving someone. What I mean is, you might have feelings for Lin Yi,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Have a crush on me?"

This time, Wang Manni did not deny it, because she realized that Zhong Xiaoqin seemed to be right.

Wang Manni said, "Xiaoqin, you don't know, Lin Yi is handsome, funny, and so rich, but he doesn't look down on us ordinary people at all. He is very down-to-earth in his words and deeds."

I think, Xiaoqin, even if it were you, let alone me, you would also feel good about him if you saw him.

Zhong Xiaoqin listened and nodded.

“That’s true. Now that you mention it, Lin Yi is indeed very different from those rich people,” Zhong Xiaoqin said.

Wang Manni said, "Oh, what an embarrassing day! I don't know what I'll do if I see Lin Yi again."

"What's the big deal? Just treat it normally, or pretend you have amnesia. He won't keep digging into it, will he?" Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile.

"Ok?"

Zhong Xiaoqin's words provided Wang Manni with an idea.

Wang Manni looked at Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise and said, "Xiaoqin, are you possessed by something? Otherwise, how could you suddenly become so smart? I'm a little scared."

"No way, it was you who threatened to kill yourself and scared me half to death," Zhong Xiaoqin said speechlessly.

"Cough cough... I was wrong, but it was so embarrassing. How could I have said those things?" Wang Manni apologized.

Zhong Xiaoqin couldn't help but chuckle.

"So what are your plans? To move or not to move?" Zhong Xiaoqin asked.

“Does this mean I can just decide for myself? Of course I have to move. Sigh, being homeless and being bullied by the landlord like this,” Wang Manni said.

“If you don’t want to be bullied by the landlord, you can go to Lin Yi,” Zhong Xiaoqin said. “Given Lin Yi’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t bully a poor little thing like you.”

"Xiaoqin, can you please stop talking about it?" Wang Manni said, blushing.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything, alright?" Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile.

time flies.

After Sunday, Wang Manni went to work for five days and was urged by her landlord for five days.

And he told Wang Manni that today was the deadline.

Deadline?

She's been working non-stop and hasn't even looked at the new house. Where is she going to move to?

Isn't this bullying?

Wang Manni was at work when she was furious.

What should she do?

Wang Manni's hand instinctively opened Lin Yi's contacts and called him.

……

After finishing their meal, everyone went about their own business.

Zhu Suosuo continued to go to work, while Jiang Nansun continued to follow Su Mingyu.

It has to be said that Su Mingyu is really impressive after being around for so long. Jiang Nansun has learned a lot from her.

During this period, Jiang Nansun's progress was clearly visible to the naked eye.

His investment, "Miss Jiang's Decoration Company," will also open on Saturday.

It's tomorrow.

As for Lin Yi himself, he continued to lie down, playing games in his spare time, and going out for a massage when he felt tired.

Anyway, the massage place is not far from his house. Recently, a technician named number 9 came here, and her technique is very good.

Of course, she's beautiful and has a sweet voice.

Everyone left, and Lin Yi, having nothing else to do, continued playing the game.

Not long after, I suddenly received a phone call.

After the call connected, Lin Yi asked, "Hello? Who is this?"

“It’s me,” Wang Manni said softly.

"Oh, it's Wang Manni. What's up?" Lin Yi said.

"I'd like to ask, Lin Yi, do you have any smaller apartments left in Junyue Mansion?" Wang Manni asked.

“There are other places, but they are a bit far. There are none in Junyue Mansion. My house is rarely less than 100 square meters.”

"Besides, apartments under 100 square meters are usually rented out very quickly after being listed," Lin Yi said after thinking for a moment.

“Oh,” Wang Manni said.

"What's wrong? Want to rent a place?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"Yes, the landlord has been urging me to move in for five days, but I've been working non-stop and haven't had time to look at apartments," Wang Manni said softly.

"I've always kept my promise. If you're short of money, just give me six thousand for rent; if you have money, just give me more. I don't really care," Lin Yi said.

"it is good."

Wang Manni gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Yi, I will repay you in the future."

"Really? Haha, if I were expecting something in return, I wouldn't be helping you. You should focus on living your own life first," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"..." Wang Manni suddenly didn't want to say anything.

Although Lin Yi's words were sharp, Wang Manni felt very comfortable listening to them.

She's been in Shanghai for so long, and this is the first time anyone has shown her such concern.

This is a heartless city, and it's really hard to survive, especially for ordinary people.

Lin Yi asked, "Have you packed your things? If you have, just have someone pick them up."

"We're almost at Junyue Mansion. Let me know and I'll bring the keys over."

"I'll ask for leave now and go home to pack. I shouldn't be done until the afternoon," Wang Manni said.

"Never mind, I'll go take a look," Lin Yi said.

"Thank you, Lin Yi, I..."

Before Wang Manni could finish speaking, Lin Yi hung up.

He had promised technician number 9 that he would get a massage today, but it looks like he'll have to wait until later.

Lin Yi drove for a short while before he saw Wang Manni's residence.

At this time, Wang Manni had not yet returned.

A dozen minutes later, Wang Manni saw that Lin Yi had arrived a step ahead of her and was deeply moved.

Wang Manni said, "Thank you. You must have arrived a long time ago."

"I just arrived a little while ago, and I was watching two old men play chess," Lin Yi said nonchalantly.

Wang Manni led Lin Yi upstairs.
