Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 128

Moreover, this Fan Shengmei is determined to marry a rich man, and Lin Yi can't possibly stand in her way.

30 Anyway, Lin Yi didn't want to have anything to do with her.

This explains why Lin Yi, though not a bad person, tends to keep his distance from women he doesn't like, avoiding unnecessary entanglements.

If she were to encounter a rich and playful man like Fan Shengmei, who only cares about money, she would be slept with and then dumped the very next day.

Even if she gets dumped, Fan Shengmei will probably still dream of marrying a rich man while she sleeps.

Therefore, Lin Yi really had no interest in her.

Under the lights, Fan Shengmei lowered her head slightly, held up her wine glass, and said with a smile, "Lin Yi, thank you for coming tonight. Otherwise, it would have been too hot in the middle of summer."

"Ah...you're too kind, you're really too kind," Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi was thinking about how to escape the Fairy Cave. Fan Shengmei's actions were far too obvious.

"Come on, have a drink," Fan Shengmei said with a smile.

Lin Yi owns ten houses; he said this himself in the coffee shop.

Moreover, she saw the property certificate when she moved houses.

As long as she can be with Lin Yi, she will have ten houses and become a wealthy woman, even if she doesn't have to work.

Fan Shengmei was extremely envious of this wonderful life.

When Lin Yi mentioned in the coffee shop that he owned ten houses, Fan Shengmei realized that she had almost missed out on a potential catch.

So when she had the chance, she resolutely prepared this meal.

As for the power outage, it was indeed due to a blown fuse; she didn't break it.

She was simply taking this opportunity to invite Lin Yi to dinner.

By the way, let's develop it further.

A pure-hearted boy like Lin Yi will definitely be moved if you give him a little something sweet.

If Lin Yi is interested, she will have a chance to become a wealthy woman.

"My family has prepared dinner, I should go back now," Lin Yi said apologetically.

"Don't be so polite with me. I've been staying at your place and it's been a lot of trouble for you. This is just to thank you," Fan Shengmei said with a smile.

"You paid the rent, I should be thanking you," Lin Yi said with a smile.

“Let’s not stand on ceremony. You can have a meal here, right?” Fan Shengmei said.

Just as Lin Yi was about to agree, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door."

As Lin Yi spoke, he got up and opened the door without waiting for Fan Shengmei's response.

As soon as the door opened, a woman with exquisite makeup appeared.

She is Andy.

Andy's makeup was exquisite, and she looked very beautiful. She was also wearing women's business attire, which gave her an elegant and capable air.

"Ding... Congratulations, host, we have discovered the female lead Andy (from Ode to Joy)."

"Ding... Congratulations, host, you are rewarded with ten houses."

"Ding... Congratulations, host. You are rewarded with three chances to draw a prize. Would you like to draw a prize now?"

Lin Yi thought to himself, "I'll postpone the lottery."

Lin Yi never expected that he would run into Andy while he was there to get the electricity fixed.

In this way, Lin Yi would know all five girls in Ode to Joy.

Besides Andy, the other four girls were all his tenants.

As for why Qu Xiaoxiao, a rich second-generation, would rent a room here, the reason is simple: she had just returned from abroad and didn't have any money.

In addition, she has a half-brother who is also fighting with her for the family fortune.

Qu Xiaoxiao, this rich second-generation, now only has the title left; she has no money at all.

"Hello, you are?"

Andy suddenly felt a little confused. Why was a man coming out of the neighbor's room?

Aren't her neighbors three girls?

When she first moved in, she had a lot of things to move in. These three girls saw this and helped her, which was very kind of them.

So, Andy bought a lot of seafood today because he wanted to invite them over for a seafood meal.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'm Lin Yi, the landlord here. Hello, hello, how can I help you?"

"The landlord," Andy knew immediately.

“I’m your neighbor next door, my name is Andy.” Andy said with a smile, “After I moved in, I heard Qiu Yingying say that their landlord is a very handsome boy.”

Seeing you today, it's really true.

If someone else said that, it was meant as a joke.

But it's different when Andy says those words.

Andy is straightforward, extremely self-disciplined, and highly intelligent.

However, she has low emotional intelligence, which means that in daily life, she is not very good at speaking. She speaks very directly; good is good, and bad is bad. She doesn't have many hidden agendas.

Therefore, when Andy said Lin Yi was handsome, she was simply repeating what Qiu Yingying had said, not teasing Lin Yi or complimenting him.

"Thank you for the compliment. You are very beautiful and have a great presence," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Mm." Andy nodded.

An ordinary person would have said "thank you" at least, but Andy just hummed in response.

This is what makes Andy different from ordinary people.

Seeing that Lin Yi hadn't returned for a long time, Fan Shengmei came over as well.

Upon seeing the person, Fan Shengmei was delighted and called out with a smile, "Andy!"

After shouting, Fan Shengmei regretted it.

Because compared to the perfect Andy, he can't compare in any way.

She wasn't as pretty as Andy, as rich as Andy, or as capable as Andy...

Compared to her, she was no match for Andy at all.

Andy smiled and said, "Little Sister Fan, would you like to have some seafood?"

Fan Shengmei said, "No, no, my family has prepared a whole table of dishes."

"Let's invite Andy to join us for dinner, otherwise the two of us won't be able to finish all that food," Lin Yi said.

"What about the seafood at home?" Andy asked.

"Andy, didn't you say you couldn't cook?" Fan Shengmei asked with a smile.

"I don't know how, but when I bought it, they said I only needed to steam it, which I do know how to do," Fan Shengmei said with a smile.

Fan Shengmei smiled.

Lin Yi said, "How about this, Andy, you bring the seafood over, and we can eat the vegetables and seafood at the same time."

“That’s a great idea,” Andy agreed immediately.

When Andy returned, Fan Shengmei discovered that Andy had brought four large king crabs.

The steamed king crab is all red, and the air is filled with the aroma of meat.

Upon entering, Andy was astonished to see a table full of dishes prepared by Fan Shengmei.

"My goodness, Fan Xiaomei, the dishes you cooked are so delicious!" Andy said with a smile.

"Adding the king crab you bought, Andy, makes it even more sumptuous," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Andy suddenly looked at the table full of food, then at the two of them.

Andy regretted coming in.

These dishes were clearly made by Fan Shengmei for her landlord, Lin Yi. She shouldn't have come.

"I never expected to meet new friends here today," Lin Yi said with a smile, raising his glass of red wine. "Let's all have a drink."

“Okay,” Andy said.

Since Lin Yi had already said all that, she couldn't run away even if she wanted to, so she had no choice but to raise her glass and drink with everyone.

Fan Shengmei looked at the table full of dishes, feeling somewhat bitter.

Normally, Fan Shengmei would be very happy to be able to eat king crab.

But ever since Andy came along, her plans have fallen through.

Fan Shengmei couldn't possibly get Lin Yi drunk in front of Andy, could she?

With Andy around, Lin Yi didn't have to worry about so much. He ate and drank happily.

It must be said that Fan Shengmei's cooking skills are quite good.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Lin Yi stood up, raised a glass of red wine, and said with a smile, "Fan Shengmei, thank you very much for your hospitality today."

"Andy, I'm very happy to meet you, my new friend, today."

Fan Shengmei smiled. That's it?

“Me too.” Andy had drunk some red wine, and now his little face was flushed.

At this moment, Andy appeared less serious and more adorable.

After finishing his glass of red wine, Lin Yi smiled and said, "It's getting late, I'm going back now."

After saying that, Lin Yi left without looking back.

Before Fan Shengmei could react, Lin Yi had vanished.

As Andy watched Lin Yi leave, she smiled and said, "Little Sister Fan, Lin Yi is quite an interesting person to talk to."
