Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 32

"What I'm asking is, where are you from?" Jiang Pengfei asked.

Zhang Anren said, "Yes..."

"Oh, from the countryside." Jiang Pengfei nodded.

In Jiang Pengfei's mind, anyone who isn't from Shanghai is a rural person.

Even if someone is from Shanghai, unless they live in the city center, they're still just a country bumpkin in Shanghai.

Zhang Anren was dumbfounded. Something was wrong. Why was this different from what he had imagined about meeting the parents?

That's way too direct! Aren't they even trying to hide it?

“Uncle, actually I also bought an apartment in Shanghai,” Zhang Anren said.

"Really? Where is it?" Jiang Pengfei became interested.

“In Sanlin,” Zhang Anren said.

"Sanlin? That's the outskirts of Shanghai? It takes a long time to get to the city center."

"Xiao Zhang, time is money, how can you waste it on a trip? This house isn't very nice," Jiang Pengfei said after thinking for a moment.

“Uncle, you’re right. I will work hard to earn money in the future and try to buy a house in the city,” Zhang Anren said.

“This idea is good, I support it,” Jiang Pengfei said with a smile.

Zhang Anren listened with a trembling feeling.

Wasn't the reason he bought a house in Sanlin because the housing prices in downtown Shanghai were too high?

Left with no other choice, I bought a three-bedroom, 100-square-meter apartment nearby, which still cost me over two million yuan.

This is the price before any renovations.

It would be so difficult to get him to buy something in downtown Shanghai.

Zhang Anren suddenly had a terrible headache.

He thought that if he could win over Jiang Nansun's father, he could win over Jiang Nansun.

It now seems that Jiang Nansun's father only cares about money, and it will be extremely difficult to win him over.

Jiang Pengfei looked at him and said with a smile, "Xiao Zhang, my daughter, how could I bear to run around for so long every day? You know what I mean, right?"

"Mhm." Zhang Anren nodded.

“Xiao Zhang, why don’t you sell your house and I’ll take you to invest in stocks? You’ll be able to buy a house in downtown Shanghai in no time. What do you think?” Jiang Pengfei said.

Jiang Pengfei's losses in the stock market are huge, but even so, it's still money.

Therefore, Jiang Pengfei set his sights on Zhang Anren's house.

No matter how remote it is, two million is still worth it.

Upon hearing that someone was after his house, Zhang Anren immediately became alert.

……

Jiang Nansun felt disgusted watching the two of them asking and answering questions.

When she learned that Zhang Anren had a fiancée, she only thought he was hypocritical.

Now, Zhang Anren's unauthorized actions have made Jiang Nansun see Zhang Anren for who he truly is.

He is an extremely hypocritical person who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

How can we break this deadlock?

Jiang Nansun immediately thought of Lin Yi.

The reason her father mistook Zhang Anren for her boyfriend was because he had no one else around him.

But if she had other men around her, and those men were handsome and rich, her father, being a money-grubber, would definitely ignore Zhang Anren.

Zhang Anren's hopes of gaining her father's support were dashed.

Jiang Nansun quickly took out his phone and sent a message to Lin Yi.

"Lin Yi, are you there? Are you awake?" Jiang Nansun asked.

"Tell me what you need first, and then I'll decide whether I should be there or not," Lin Yi said.

"Hmm?" Jiang Nansun didn't quite understand Lin Yi's idea.

"If I said I was here, what if you asked me to lend you money? I definitely wouldn't lend it to you, after all, our relationship isn't at that level."

"But what if I say I'm not here, and you invite me to dinner? Wouldn't I miss out?" Lin Yi said.

"I……"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun was speechless; she finally understood how Zhu Suosuo felt.

This guy is capable, smart, and handsome, but he's lazy, hates trouble, and likes to take advantage of others.

Jiang Nansun's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up as she came up with a brilliant idea.

"Hmph, you scoundrel, since you're like this, don't blame me," Jiang Nansun thought to himself.

Jiang Nansun replied with a smile, "You guessed right. But it's not to borrow money from you; it's to invite you to dinner."

"Really?" Lin Yi asked.

"Really, why would I lie to you? You were so busy yesterday, buying groceries and cooking for me. I felt really bad about it, so I was planning to treat you to a meal," Jiang Nansun said.

"That's impressive. As expected of Miss Nan Sun, your awareness is truly high. Please wait a moment, I'll get ready right away," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Jiang Nansun thought for a moment, and in order to achieve the desired effect, continued, "Wear your best clothes."

"Don't worry, it'll be fine," Lin Yi said.

After a while, Lin Yi said, "That's not right. Why would I dress so nicely just to have a meal?"

Jiang Nansun was speechless; this guy's vigilance was truly remarkable.

"Do you think it looks good to wear baggy shorts to a six-star hotel for dinner?" Jiang Nansun said.

"What? A six-star hotel?" Lin Yi perked up immediately. He hadn't been there many times; it was Haozi who had taken him there.

“That’s right, what else? With your status as a head chef, would you be worthy of going to those places?” Jiang Nansun said, “Forget it, go or don’t go, it’s up to you.”

"Go away, go away, just wait a moment, I promise I won't embarrass you," Lin Yi quickly said.

"Okay, then come quickly, I'm starving," Jiang Nansun said with a smile.

"Okay, don't worry." Lin Yi tossed his phone aside and quickly packed up.

Following Jiang Nansun's instructions, Lin Yi arrived at a house that had not been renovated.

When Jiang Nansun saw Lin Yi dressed up, he was suddenly lost in thought.

So handsome.

He's just as good as those male gods in period dramas.

Lin Yi was handsome, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes. His thick eyebrows gave him a dashing and masculine air.

Jiang Nansun smiled and went over, gently putting her arm around Lin Yi's arm, and said, "Dad, I've already told you, I have nothing to do with him, this is my boyfriend."

"Wait? Boyfriend?"

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this.

Wait a minute, didn't we say we were going to treat him to dinner?

Why is it that things are not as he expected?

Seeing Jiang Nansun's smiling face, Lin Yi instantly knew that he had been deceived.

He spent all his time hunting eagles, but unexpectedly, one of them pecked his eye.

What a sin

He shouldn't have been so greedy for such a small advantage.

What a sin

Even though he was so vigilant, he still fell into the Japanese devils' trap.

He said it himself, why do you have to dress so nicely just to have a meal?

As a result, he was forced to wear head-to-toe designer clothes, including a Patek Philippe worth over a million dollars.

"Dad, his name is Lin Yi, he's my boyfriend," Jiang Nansun said with a smile, gently linking her arm with Lin Yi's.

Lin Yi stared at her blankly, wanting to ask, "Jiang Nansun, shouldn't you explain yourself?"

Jiang Nansun's smile was tinged with a hint of pleading.

"Yes, Uncle, I'm Nan Sun's boyfriend." Lin Yi softened and played along with Jiang Nan Sun.

Jiang Nansun was very happy to see this.

In fact, Lin Yi wasn't the only one who was confused; Zhang Anren and Jiang Pengfei were also bewildered.

Zhang Anren was a little confused when Lin Yi suddenly arrived.

Why is he here?

Zhang Anren knew perfectly well that he was his enemy, the one who had stolen his wife, but because of his fear, he dared not hate him.

It's not that I don't hate him, but that I dare not hate him.

Because the gap between them is too big. One of his watches costs a million. How can he compare to Lin Yi?

Looking at Lin Yi's demeanor, he was refined and easygoing, like a handsome man who had stepped out of a painting. Zhang Anren felt ashamed in comparison.

Zhang Anren lowered his head and silently left.

It seems that he and Jiang Nansun were destined to be on different paths.

He thought someone would notice his departure and someone would call out to him, but no one called out to him until he had left the room.
