Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 101

"Not entirely. There's another reason. I really wanted to tease you, and I was just making up an excuse," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Go to hell." "Seven Six Seven," Zhu Suosuo blushed and shyly pushed Lin Yi away.

Remembering what happened last night, Zhu Suosuo didn't dare to continue talking to Lin Yi and quickly changed the subject.

"Was my acting good yesterday?" Zhu Suosuo asked.

Yes, that's a forced change of topic.

Lin Yi laughed and said, "Stop joking, don't insult the word 'acting'."

"Hmm? If you put it that way, I won't accept it." Zhu Suosuo looked at Lin Yi with a defiant expression.

"Then I'll explain it to you properly."

"First, did you peek inside before you even entered? That action of yours clearly shows you're feeling guilty."

Secondly, your voice sounds weak and feeble when you speak, which is a clear sign of your insecurity.

When you look at people, your gaze is dull and unnatural, unlike your usual self.

Third, you…

Before Lin Yi could finish speaking, Zhu Suosuo quickly called out.

"stop."

Zhu Suosuo was completely stunned and asked, "Is my acting really that bad?"

"No, not really." Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Your acting skills are much better than those of those young heartthrobs."

"Fine, just say I'm bad, I can accept that." Zhu Suosuo was speechless.

What is this stuff?

She was initially very confident and proud, but Lin Yi suddenly dealt her a blow.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "However, yesterday's incident happened suddenly, and you were feeling guilty, so your behavior was understandable."

If it were today, it would definitely be much better than yesterday.

"Hmm? Why?" Zhu Suosuo asked curiously.

“After a night of calm, you’ll get used to it and won’t be as panicked as you were yesterday,” Lin Yi said.

"..."

Do you get used to doing bad things?

Zhu Suosuo thought Lin Yi would say that her acting skills had improved.

Forget it, Zhu Suosuo suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Seeing Zhu Suosuo's depressed look, Lin Yi wanted to laugh a little; he just liked to tease girls for no reason.

Zhu Suosuo suddenly asked, "I almost forgot something."

"Go ahead," Lin Yi said.

"You put on such a grand show yesterday, did it cost a lot of money?" Zhu Suosuo asked.

"It's not much, just 50," Lin Yi said.

"50? That's not much? Are you crazy? With 50, you could buy me." Zhu Suosuo looked at her in surprise.

"No, you are priceless, I can't bear to part with you." Lin Yi shook his head with a smile.

"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you. You're not allowed to waste money like that next time. Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. We can use this money to invest," Zhu Suosuo said.

Zhu Suosuo found it hard to believe.

Five hundred thousand! Just for a meal, the dishes were more expensive than gold.

"Was it a waste? I don't think so. You saw how moved you were yesterday, and then you offered yourself to him," Lin Yi said with a smile.

“I’ve always liked you, okay?” Zhu Suosuo corrected.

Lin Yi put his arm around Zhu Suosuo and said softly, "I know, but at that time, you were unsettled, and I was trying to urge you to make a decision."

Otherwise, seeing you so sad every day, how could I bear it?

"Five hundred thousand yuan to buy my lock has made me happy ever since. I'm willing to do it; I think it's well worth it."

Zhu Suosuo was deeply moved upon hearing this.

Zhu Suosuo pouted and kissed Lin Yi.

"Darling, you're so good to me," Zhu Suosuo said, touched.

"It's good that you know. Don't let your imagination run wild in the future, understand?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

Lin Yi wanted to convey a deeply ingrained idea to Zhu Suosuo: don't overthink things, I've always loved you.

"Yes, I know. I know how good you are to me." Zhu Suosuo nodded.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Suo Suo, don't you really want to have your own house?"

"Yes, I like money, and I like making money because I want to buy a big house." Zhu Suosuo said somewhat shyly.

"Would you like me to give you a set?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

The two of them had only just gotten together, and Lin Yi already gave them a house?

If she takes it, what will everyone else think of her, Zhu Suosuo?

Perhaps even Lin Yi would look down on her.

Zhu Suosuo would never do something like that.

"I don't want to." Zhu Suosuo shook her head decisively and said in a very relaxed tone, "Nan Sun knows how many houses you have and where they are."

"Don't let it get to the point where one house is missing, and then Nansun, the legal wife, comes after me, asking where the house went? And you say someone else is eyeing it, so one is missing."

Zhu Suosuo said this purely as a random excuse to refuse.

Putting aside the fact that Jiang Nansun doesn't have such a good memory, even if she did, she only looked at a portion of the property certificates; she hadn't even opened most of them.

How could she possibly own every house Lin Yi owned?

Moreover, when Nan Sun saw it, there were 60 units; now he has ten more, making it 70 units.

Nan Sun had no idea.

However, Lin Yi was not surprised that Zhu Suosuo refused; Zhu Suosuo was quite proud.

Moreover, a house is not an ordinary thing. Other things can be given away as gifts, but a house is different.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Nan Sun, you only know part of it."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Zhu Suosuo asked, somewhat surprised.

“That’s right, what Nansun saw wasn’t the whole story,” Lin Yi said.

"What do you mean?" Zhu Suosuo asked again.

“That’s right, the property certificate that Nan Sun saw shows 60 houses, but in reality, I should own 70 houses,” Lin Yi said.

"Cough cough..."

Zhu Suosuo looked at Lin Yi and asked in surprise, "How many houses do you own? How could you possibly get that wrong?"

"It should be 70 units. There are too many houses, there's nothing I can do. It's normal to make a mistake..." Lin Yi said helplessly.

"How many? 70 sets?" Zhu Suosuo asked in surprise.

Suddenly, ten more sets?

Originally, Zhu Suosuo thought that Lin Yi owning 60 houses was already terrifying, but who knew that it was even more than that.

Lin Yi actually owns 70 houses!

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded.

"..."

Zhu Suosuo was so provoked that she didn't want to talk anymore.

How could you possibly get something like a house wrong?

Even if she forgets her own name, she can't forget the house itself.

Zhu Suosuo smiled and said, "I don't want to. I'm just a little curious. Can I see what the property certificate looks like?"

"can."

As Lin Yi spoke, he left the room and soon returned with a pile of red certificates. He then tossed the property certificate aside and stuffed them all into Zhu Suosuo's arms.

Zhu Suosuo held a pile of property certificates and looked at them one by one, laughing so hard she almost fell over.

If Jiang Nansun was just casually glancing at the property certificate...

Zhu Suosuo was different; she carefully and meticulously examined all the property certificates for the 70 houses and two shops many times.

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "You've watched it so many times? Aren't you tired?"

"I'm not tired," Zhu Suosuo said, holding the property certificate.

"Have you decided which of these property ownership certificates you want?" Lin Yi asked.

"Are you serious?" Zhu Suosuo asked in surprise.

"Well, a gentleman's word is his bond. You think I'm joking with you?" Lin Yi said.

"I don't want it. We just got together. If I asked for your house, people would think I was only after your house."

"I, Zhu Suosuo, can't do this kind of thing, and I don't want to do it," Zhu Suosuo said.

"Are you sure?" Lin Yi asked.

"Oh dear, why do you keep rambling on and on? I said no, and that's it. Don't keep trying to confuse me."

As Zhu Suosuo spoke, she piled a bunch of property certificates into Lin Yi's arms, urging him to take them out quickly.

After Lin Yi took out the property certificates, he had already reached the door when he heard Zhu Suosuo say, "Oh, what a huge loss, what a huge loss! I turned down a house that was offered to me."

Zhu Suosuo, you're really great.

Lin Yi thinks he can bribe or corrupt you with the house? No way!
