Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

"After the argument, I always felt like I hadn't performed well, and I wanted to do it again. Then I thought about a lot of things," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"...Your summary is spot on," Wang Manni said with a smile.

They were almost at Wang Manni's house when she received a phone call, which was answered by her landlord.

"What? Eviction? On what grounds? I've already paid next month's rent."

"I disagree. The contract has already been signed. What gives you the right to take it back just like that?"

"I just don't agree!"

After finishing the phone call, Wang Manni's eyes reddened with anger, and her emotions were turbulent.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked deliberately, though he had already heard it.

"I paid three months' rent upfront, but after only two months, the landlord asked me to move out."

"She said her daughter was coming back from abroad and told me to move out immediately. That's outrageous!" Wang Manni said angrily.

Lin Yi asked, "So what are your thoughts?"

"I definitely don't want to vacate this place. First of all, it's quite close to my workplace."

"Besides, I still have to go to work. Where am I supposed to find a suitable place to live in such a short time?" Wang Manni said.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Your workplace is that shop, right?"

"Mmm." Wang Manni nodded.

“I do have an apartment near your workplace, just a short walk away. Would you like to consider it?” Lin Yi said with a smile.

Wang Manni felt very sorry for him, but she quickly shook her head and said, "No, Lin Yi, thank you for your kindness, but the houses near Junyue Mansion are too expensive. I can't afford to rent them."

Lin Yi asked with a smile, "How much is your rent now?"

“Six thousand,” Wang Manni said.

"Then you can give me six thousand too," Lin Yi said.

"Ok?"

Wang Manni was initially very angry, but upon hearing his words, she immediately looked at Lin Yi.

"A house near Junyue Mansion, six thousand?" Wang Manni asked.

"Mm." Lin Yi nodded.

"How old?" Wang Manni asked, looking at him.

"It's about 90 square meters, a bit small, but it should be enough for you alone," Lin Yi said.

"Ninety square meters is small? This area is more than enough for a family of three," Wang Manni said in surprise.

A house in Junyue Mansion, over 90 square meters, only costs 6,000 yuan a month in rent?

That's a huge difference.

With such a large area and such a good shop, it would be unreasonable to charge less than 20,000 a month.

Wang Manni subconsciously looked at Lin Yi, staring at his profile.

"So? What's your decision?" Lin Yi asked.

"Lin Yi, are you trying to keep a mistress? But you already have a girlfriend. If you didn't, and you're so good to me, I would definitely agree to it."

"But I'm sorry, Lin Yi, it really won't work. We can be friends," Wang Manni said earnestly.

"Hey Wang Manni, are you overthinking this? You think you can keep a mistress? Have you been watching too many idol dramas?" Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yi parked the car, and they were already downstairs at her apartment building.

"I'm overthinking it. The rent for a house in Junyue Mansion is at least 20,000 yuan a month, but you want me to pay 6,000 yuan. Isn't that what you've been thinking?" Wang Manni asked, blushing.

“If you feel bad about it, you can give me 20,000,” Lin Yi said.

"I... do you do things so carelessly?" Wang Manni couldn't help but say.

Lin Yi looked at Wang Manni for a while, and Wang Manni's face became increasingly red.

However, in order to hide her panic, Wang Manni did not lower her head, but instead chose to look directly at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Why don't you say that I'm pitying you?"

I went on a blind date and was rejected in every way.

When I got back to my place, I found that my home was gone, and I almost burst into tears.

You're already in such a terrible situation, what can I possibly do for you?

So, Wang Manni, you have quite the imagination! (Zhao Nuo's)

Poor her...

Wang Manni sat there, and instantly felt wronged.

Yes, today was a terrible day. I wanted to go on a blind date, but I got a really bad experience. I was about to go back to my place when I found out my home was gone.

In other words, Lin Yi gave her a very low price because he felt sorry for her.

"Really?" Wang Manni asked instinctively.

"What else did you think? Wang Manni, I have a girlfriend."

Originally, I didn't want to say some things so openly, but I had to provoke you again. I said, why are you thinking so much for no reason?" Lin Yi was speechless.

Upon hearing this, Wang Manni's face flushed red with embarrassment.

"No need, no need, Lin Yi. Whether you pity me or something else, I'm very grateful to you. But I'll find a place to stay," Wang Manni said.

"Okay, whatever you want," Lin Yi said.

"Ah."

When Wang Manni saw that the house was home, she smiled and said, "Why don't you come up and sit for a while?"

"No, I didn't even go up. People already suspect me of having ulterior motives. If I went up, who knows what they'd think of me?" Lin Yi casually refused.

"I... Lin Yi, that's not what I meant," Wang Manni said shyly.

Lin Yi took out a business card and said, "If you have any ideas, just give me a call. You can give me 20,000, 10,000, or 6,000. It's up to you."

"Why?" Wang Manni asked.

"Because I have money. The most important thing in life is to be happy. I see you're so pitiful, so I'll just help you out."

Lin Yi said with a smile, "I've helped several people like you before."

Guan Juer and Qiu Yingying are examples of this.

I had just arrived in Shanghai and was in a terrible situation. Lin Yi helped me through it all.

Besides, Lin Yi has never been stingy when it comes to giving away experience points for ten houses.

Compared to the cost of the house and the three lottery draws, this is really nothing.

"Thank you, Lin Yi," Wang Manni said earnestly.

"You're welcome."

Lin Yi drove off in a very dashing manner.

Lin Yi left.

Wang Manni looked at Lin Yi's back and blushed a little when she remembered what she had just said.

Today is truly the day Wang Manni most wants to leave this planet.

Because today was just too embarrassing.

"Who are you? Who is Lin Yi? How can you think so much about this?" Wang Manni muttered to herself, wishing she could slap herself.

After going upstairs, Wang Manni took off her high heels, put on slippers, and sat on the sofa.

Wang Manni took the phone and sent a message to Zhong Xiaoqin.

"Xiaoqin, are you there?" Wang Manni asked.

“Yes, Nini, what’s up?” Zhong Xiaoqin asked.

"It's Sunday today, are you at work?" Wang Manni asked.

"No, I'm lying at home watching TV. It's too hot outside," Zhong Xiaoqin said.

"Xiaoqin, don't worry about how hot it is outside, come to my place."

"I'm telling you, I've really embarrassed myself today. If you don't come and comfort me, I really can't go on living," Wang Manni said.

"Okay, okay, Nini, don't get excited, I'm coming right now."

Seeing this, Zhong Xiaoqin dared not refuse and immediately agreed.

Zhong Xiaoqin grabbed a bag at random and set off.

I hailed a taxi and went straight to Wang Manni's house.

When she arrived, Zhong Xiaoqin was afraid that something had happened to her, so she quickly knocked on the door.

Because they were in a hurry, the knocking on the door sounded quite urgent.

Not long after, Gu Jia opened the door.

Looking at Wang Manni, Gu Jia found that she was doing quite well.

Once inside, Gu Jia asked, "Nini, what's wrong?"

Wang Manni didn't answer, but simply hugged Zhong Xiaoqin.

"Let me tell you, Xiaoqin, I really embarrassed myself today," Wang Manni said, giving a brief account of what had happened that day.

She went on a blind date full of confidence, but unexpectedly suffered one blow after another.

After several such attacks, Wang Manni was left utterly devastated.

That would have been fine, but unfortunately, Lin Yi happened to discover this.
