Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 92

Su Qing laughed and said, "It's only because Lin Yi is rich and willful that you have a chance. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had a chance at all."

"Huh? Sis, you don't think I've been scammed?" Yang Tao asked in surprise.

"You have the nerve to say that? Someone like Lin Yi could easily fool you if he wanted to, and even sell you out, and you'd still be counting the money for him."

"I've figured it out; you're not even in the same league," Su Qing said.

Yang Tao was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

"Sister, what do you mean by 'she can fool me, sell myself and then count the money for her'? Am I that stupid?" Yang Tao said.

“This isn’t stupidity, it’s the truth.” Su Qing said with a smile, “Alright, go to work, don’t worry about me.”

"Okay, sis, if you're bored at home alone, you can go out for a walk. There's a shopping mall nearby, it's very lively," Yang Tao advised.

"Don't worry, I'm a grown woman," Su Qing said.

Yang Tao smiled, slung her bag over her shoulder, and prepared to leave.

Today was a feeling she had never experienced before.

"and many more."

Just as Yang Tao was about to leave, Su Qing called out from behind.

Yang Tao stopped, turned around, and asked, "Sister Qing, is there anything else?"

"Taozi has a boyfriend, and he treats her very well. That's what I told my aunt," Su Qing said.

"Sister Qing, it's me..."

8. Yang Tao looked at Su Qing and said she didn't know whether she should admit it or not.

9 Su Qing smiled and pushed Yang Tao out of the room.

San Yangtao walked outside alone, carrying her bag. She thought about what had happened that day and what Lin Yi had said.

9. Although it was fake, Lin Yi described it very well.

6. She also longs for such a day to come in her future.

4. A blush involuntarily appeared on Yang Tao's small face.

With her little face flushed, Yang Tao looked even cuter.

6. Yang Tao was walking on the road, just about to go to work, when she received a phone call.

0 was a call from my mom.

It goes without saying that Sister Qing had already told Mom that.

After Yang Tao answered the call, she smiled and called out, "Mom."

"Peach, do you have a boyfriend?" Xue Sumei asked.

"Yes, Mom, I've got it. Qingjie saw it today too," Yang Tao said.

"Taozi, how come you have a boyfriend and didn't even tell your mother? If I didn't let your sister Qing go over, you would still be in the dark, wouldn't you?" Xue Sumei said.

“Mom, we’ve only been dating for a short time, I’m just afraid you’ll be disappointed,” Yang Tao said.

"What's there to be disappointed about? Qing'er has told Mom everything. Your sister Qing saw the boy and said he's not only handsome but also very energetic. Most importantly, he's very good to you."

The apartment you live in now costs at least 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month in rent, and it's close to a commercial area, which is very bustling.

But he only charged you three thousand in rent to pursue you? Wasn't he just being considerate of your feelings because he was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it all at once?

"Such thoughtful boys are rare these days," Xue Sumei said with a smile.

From her mother's happy words, Yang Tao knew how many good things Qing Jie had said about Lin Yi.

"Yes, Mom, he is indeed very thoughtful," Yang Tao said with a smile.

“If you had just told me that your boyfriend rented this place to you, I wouldn’t be worried,” Xue Sumei said.

“Mom, it was just a new situation then, we didn’t know anything, so we didn’t say anything,” Yang Tao said with a smile.

"Peach, how did you meet him?"

When asked how they met, Yang Tao immediately thought of what Lin Yi had said.

"Actually, he and I are online friends. We've known each other for a year and have been communicating online."

But Mom, you keep urging me to find a boyfriend, so I've started thinking about meeting him in person.

Later, I was seconded to Shanghai, and it was because of him that I came here. He was the one who received me on the day I arrived.

After we met, we talked a lot and found that we got along very well. We liked each other's personalities and so on.

"Lin Yi suddenly proposed to me, and after thinking about it, I agreed," Yang Tao said.

Although most of these things had nothing to do with her, Yang Tao couldn't help but smile after saying them.

She didn't know why, but she just loved beautiful things, even if it was just a story.

"Okay, Peach, then you should get along well with him. Mom isn't in a hurry. Bring him over to meet Mom after you've made up your mind," Xue Sumei said with a smile.

"Okay." Yang Tao said with a smile, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely find a man who loves me."

"Uh-huh."

After Xue Sumei hung up the phone, Yang Tao could tell that her mother was really happy.

Yang Tao was hesitating about something. Qing Jie had already told her mother all this, so if she didn't pursue it, how could she explain it to her family?

Besides, Lin Yi looks really handsome today; it's like he's got everything about him that fits Yang Tao's aesthetic standards.

He's not only handsome, but also eloquent.

But is it really appropriate for a girl from 893 to actively pursue and beg him from 964?

Yang Tao recalled Qing Jie's words: some people, once missed, are gone forever.

Yang Tao took a deep breath and made a phone call to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi answered the phone very quickly.

"Hey, Peach, how's it going?" Lin Yi asked.

“Great! Thanks to your preparation, things went perfectly. My mom was very happy when she heard about it and told us to get along well,” Yang Tao said with a smile.

"That's fine."

Lin Yi said smugly, "Peach, I already told you, I'm a professional."

"Yes, I can tell. Very professional. Thank you for today." Yang Tao said with a smile.

"You're welcome, it's nothing," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Yang Tao took a deep breath and whispered, "Lin Yi, do you believe me... I like you?"

"I believe you," Lin Yi said.

"Huh?" Yang Tao was a little confused by Lin Yi's answer.

"The 'like' I'm talking about, the real 'like'," Yang Tao said.

"Peach, that's not fair. I've helped you a lot today, haven't I? I've been pretty good to you, haven't I?" Lin Yi said.

The atmosphere that Yang Tao had painstakingly prepared for her confession was instantly ruined by Lin Yi's words.

"Yes, it's not bad, no, it's very good," Yang Tao said.

"Then tell me, do you not want to give me the money?" Lin Yi asked.

"(o) Huh? What kind of money?" Yang Tao asked subconsciously.

Oh no, it seems Yang Tao really does have this idea.

"You actually have this idea? Peach, it's just a little over a thousand yuan, is it really worth it?"

"Now that your matter is over, you're starting to discard me after I've served my purpose?" Lin Yi said.

"No, no, Lin Yi, don't get excited. Tell me first, what kind of money is this?" Yang Tao asked.

“I was thinking of going all the way with the act, so when I went downstairs I just settled your bill for you. It was 1,800 yuan in total, that’s all,” Lin Yi said.

"This money?" Yang Tao suddenly realized, blushing slightly. She hadn't expected that she would forget about this money after all this time.

“Yeah, Taozi, I’ve been busy all day, so it’s not too much to ask that I come along for a meal, is it?” Lin Yi said.

"It's not excessive. I'll transfer the money to you in a bit," Yang Tao said with a smile.

"That's fine then. My sister Peach is so generous. I always said, if you need help next time, just ask."

"As a landlord, I'm always happy to help with small things," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Mmm Good."

After Yang Tao finished speaking, she hung up.

Because Yang Tao discovered something.

She took it seriously.

Lin Yi, however, didn't take it to heart at all.

Given their current situation, the two are simply not on the same wavelength.

What she perceived as being moved was the result of overthinking and also reflected her own subjective feelings.

As a result, Yang Tao calmed down after just one phone call.

Lin Yi doesn't seem to have any interest in her at all.

Yang Tao took out her makeup box and looked at herself in the mirror.

It's alright, still very pretty.

So why did Lin Yi treat her like an ordinary tenant, or someone who just wanted to help?

So beautiful, how could Lin Yi not be tempted?

To be honest, Yang Tao found it a bit hard to understand.

"Hmph, that stinky Lin Yi, he'd rather have money than admit he likes me—"
