Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 238

"What's going on with that order? We've known each other for so long, how come I didn't know you had such a rich female friend?" Xu Huanshan asked.

Gu Jia said, "Her husband helped. He heard about my situation and decided to help."

"Hehe, I knew it, I knew it, there must be something going on here." Xu Huanshan pointed at Gu Jia and shouted.

"Xu Huanshan, don't go too far!" Gu Jia said.

Xu Huanshan said angrily, "Gu Jia, I thought I treated you pretty well, didn't I?"

And what about you? How did you treat me? You insisted on making a one-year promise with me, and you insisted that I buy such an expensive house, otherwise you wouldn't be with me.

This is how you always treat me. Let me tell you, I've been through this before.

Gu Jia said indifferently, "Then let's break up."

She was too lazy to explain anymore.

“Break up? We’ve never even been together, why break up?” Xu Huanshan said angrily. “The company has nothing to do with you. You can leave on your own. I don’t want the orders you found. You can keep them yourself.”

Gu Jia didn't waste any words, turned around and left...

Gu Jia found a quiet place and sat down.

She ordered some drinks and sipped them slowly, reflecting on her life during this time.

She gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs.

Aside from professional matters like fireworks design, which have little to do with her, she has to worry about all sorts of things, big and small, at the company.

That's not all, but Xu Huanshan always causes her trouble, doesn't understand her good intentions at all, and is always finding fault with her.

There's no point in continuing this kind of life.

From this perspective, it's probably for the best that they broke up.

Everyone is very happy.

As for the little money the company made, Gu Jia didn't care at all.

Thinking about what had happened during this period, Gu Jia felt it was all a joke.

She always thought she was working hard for her future happiness, but little did she know, it was all just wishful thinking on her part.

Gu Jia drank a lot of alcohol and got drunk, so she lay there and slept for a while.

And so, Gu Jia drank her wine, intermittently.

Gu Jia had a terrible headache, and at some point, she made a phone call to Zhong Xiaoqin.

When she woke up again, she found Lin Yi standing beside her.

When Gu Jia saw Lin Yi, she asked in a daze, "What are you doing here? Am I dreaming?"

“It’s not a dream, get some sleep,” Lin Yi said.

"Ah."

Lin Yi poured Gu Jia a glass of water, and after drinking it, Gu Jia quickly fell asleep.

Lin Yi took off Gu Jia's shoes, covered her with a blanket, and told her to get some rest.

When Gu Jia woke up again, it was already midnight.

After Gu Jia got up, she found Lin Yi sitting in a rocking chair by the window, looking at the scenery outside.

Gu Jia was surprised. She vaguely remembered that she had called Xiaoqin. Why was Lin Yi there?

Where is Xiaoqin?

"How did I end up here?" Gu Jia walked over and asked.

"You could have just called me directly," Lin Yi said.

“But I remember calling Xiaoqin,” Gu Jia said.

“You were a bit tipsy back then, so you probably dialed the wrong number.” Lin Yi said with a smile, “But I didn’t tell Xiaoqin about your situation because I was afraid she would worry.”

"Mm." Gu Jia said gratefully, "Thank you, Lin Yi, I've really troubled you these past two days."

"You're welcome."

Lin Yi said, "You've been drinking for two days now, getting completely drunk every day. Aren't you feeling uncomfortable keeping all this bottled up inside?"

Would you like to tell me something? I'll be your loyal listener.

Gu Jia thought for a moment and said, "Since it's all over, I'll tell you about it. It's nothing."

Gu Jia briefly recounted what had happened to her recently.

Lin Yi felt wronged after hearing this.

"No, did I help the wrong person?" Lin Yi said, feigning grievance.

Although he had this thought in his mind, he couldn't reveal it, otherwise, given Gu Jia's personality, she would probably leave immediately.

Gu Jia has a stubborn personality and is very opinionated.

The good thing is that once she sets her mind on someone, she won't change her mind.

Well, Lin Yi's thinking sounds like he's completing a strategy to win over Gu Jia.

Currently, level 30 has been completed.

And the progress is extremely slow.

To be precise, Gu Jia dared not think too much, so she sealed her heart, afraid that she would let Zhong Xiaoqin down.

“No, no, 2.1.” Gu Jia quickly said, “Lin Yi, thank you so much for helping me when I was in such a difficult time.”

Those were his words, they have nothing to do with me. In my heart, I am extremely grateful to you.

After hearing this, Lin Yi finally smiled and said, "That's good. I know I didn't help the wrong person."

Anyway, I don't know Xu Huanshan, and I don't care what he thinks.

"Mmm." Gu Jia smiled as well.

Lin Yi said, "However, that Xu Huanshan is indeed very strange. He can only make money after meeting you. Otherwise, with his personality, let alone starting a business, he wouldn't be able to survive in the workplace."

Not very capable, but with a terrible temper; who could stand that? It's better that we broke up.

Gu Jia didn't say much.

"What happened to the money you all earned together?" Lin Yiwen asked.

“I didn’t want it,” Gu Jia said.

Lin Yi said, "It's a pity. Leaving money to someone like that will only lead to him squandering it all in no time. He doesn't have the ability to do that."

"It doesn't matter. What happens to him in the future is none of my business," Gu Jia said.

"Yes, yes, it's good that you think that way," Lin Yi said.

"By the way, where is this place?" Gu Jia asked.

“I have a house near where you’re drinking,” Lin Yi said.

Since Gu Jia met Lin Yi, she has discovered that Lin Yi owns houses everywhere.

Gu Jia said, "I don't have a place to live right now. How about you rent it to me for a while, and I'll move out once I find a new job?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Are you sure you want to stay here? Not at the villa?"

Gu Jia was somewhat tempted, but she quickly shook her head and said, "No."

She can go there to have fun, but what kind of place is it to live there?

That's a bit unreasonable.

“Okay, you decide,” Lin Yi said.

Lin Yi never expected that he would gain a person instead of spending the money.

That's a huge profit!

Gu Jia is a woman with her own ideas and a rather stubborn personality. Of course, she is also very enterprising, and she carries a spirit of never giving up.

Since she had already made up her mind, Lin Yi decided not to try to persuade her anymore.

Moreover, Lin Yi had some guesses about why Gu Jia didn't want to live in the villa.

She's an outsider, and even though she's friends with Xiaoqin, it's inappropriate for her to live in a villa.

So she resolutely refused Liu.

Furthermore, after so much happened last night, she didn't know how to face Zhong Xiaoqin.

Lin Yi guessed that it must be these.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't say anything more," Lin Yi said.

Gu Jia smiled and said, "Yes, I'm already very satisfied to be able to live here."

Lin Yi asked, "Do you have any money on you?"

"Yes, that's enough for now," Gu Jia said.

"That's fine then," Lin Yi said.

Gu Jia asked, "By the way, Lin Yi, how much does this apartment cost per month? If it's too expensive, I might not be able to afford it."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Just give me whatever you think is appropriate."

“No way. I’m living in your house and paying you rent. That’s only right and proper.” Gu Jia quickly shook her head.

"Sigh, Gu Jia, these days, there aren't many people with your level of awareness," Lin Yi sighed.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Gu Jia asked, puzzled.

Lin Yi said, "Some girls rent my apartment but don't want to pay rent."

"How can there be such a person?" Gu Jia said.

"Right? Don't you also think it's outrageous? I'll go back and tell Xiaoqin that she's staying for free without paying rent, and not only does she not want to pay rent, she also wants to be the landlady, and the worst part is that she actually succeeded." Lin Yi said with a smile.
