Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

"Do you think I'd believe that?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"Everything I said is true!" Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but raise her voice.

Lin Yi didn't speak, but continued to look at her.

A minute later, Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back any longer.

"Okay, I say!"

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "My purpose in returning to China this time is actually very simple: I want to take back everything that is mine."

You should know my family situation very well. My father has always believed that the family business should be inherited by my half-brother.

I'm very dissatisfied. Qu Lianjie is so popular, and he's good at everything from eating and drinking to having fun.

If the Qu family's company were given to him, I believe it wouldn't be long before he squandered it all.

Rather than that, it would be better to give it to me. At least I would manage the company seriously and not mess around.

Therefore, I would like to ask you for your help in taking back my family's company.

"That's it?" Lin Yi looked at Qu Xiaoxiao and said with a smile.

"Yes, that's my only request."

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "And I can assure you that if you disagree in the future, I won't bother you."

I know you're so worried about me because you're afraid I'll cling to you.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "You know your brother's situation very well. As long as you do what you're supposed to do, I believe it won't be long before your dad can't take it anymore."

"By then, the Qu family's company will still be yours, so what's the rush?"

Qu Xiaoxiao said, "I know, but by then, who knows what kind of trouble Qu Lianjie will have gotten himself into."

I can't possibly let the Qu family's businesses fill his holes, can I? I certainly wouldn't be willing to do that.

Besides, I don't know how much longer I have to wait. Some things change if you delay!

Lin Yi couldn't help but nod and say, "Yes, you are indeed very smart."

"So you agree?" Qu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Okay," Lin Yi said.

Qu Xiaoxiao's face lit up with a smile.

"I promise to help you deal with your brother and give you a legitimate opportunity to inherit the Qu family business," Lin Yi said.

"Okay." Qu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed.

As Lin Yi spoke, he prepared to leave.

"When will you help me?" Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask.

"Wait," Lin Yi said.

Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but blush and ask, "Then when will I...?"

"We'll see when the time comes. I'll wait until I'm in the mood," Lin Yi said.

Qu Xiaoxiao was both angry and heartbroken upon hearing Lin Yi's words.

Goodness, she's practically delivered herself to his doorstep, yet Lin Yi still acts all unhurried.

Is she really that bad?

Qu Xiaoxiao couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Lin Yi, can you tell me why you hate me so much?"

Although you didn't say it explicitly, I could sense it.

Not only do you hate me, you also dislike Fan Shengmei.

"Really? You're so smart, how could you not know?" Lin Yi burst out laughing.

Qu Xiaoxiao seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao's hesitant expression, Lin Yi asked, "Tell me, why do I dislike Fan Shengmei?"

"Because she's too materialistic? Too realistic?" Qu Xiaoxiao said.

"Why would I hate you?" Lin Yi asked again.

"I……"

Without waiting for her reply, Lin Yi left.

Qu Xiaoxiao stood there, watching Lin Yi's departing figure, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Qu Xiaoxiao thought carefully about herself and how others had evaluated her over the years.

She's selfish, self-centered, materialistic, and has a sharp tongue...

She doesn't seem to be that great either; she has many flaws.

For example, Lin Yi, as a man, would definitely not be a gossipy girl.

Qu Xiaoxiao, standing there now, suddenly understood why Lin Yi disliked her.

Suddenly I understood why, of the five girls, Lin Yi liked Andy the most, followed by Guan Guan and Xiao Qiu.

It turned out to be this reason.

Andy has many characteristics, not to mention her.

Guan Juer strives for excellence.

Qiu Yingying is innocent and kind.

They may not be perfect, but they have no intention of scheming against others.

But she and Fan Shengmei are different.

Qu Xiaoxiao took out her phone and made a call to Yao Bin.

"Yao Bin, what do you think of me?" Qu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Sure, he's energetic and has a great personality," Yao Bin said.

"I want to hear the truth," Qu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Well... he's a bit materialistic and likes to be self-centered... but otherwise, he's alright," Yao Bin said.

Qu Xiaoxiao listened and silently hung up the phone.

Qu Xiaoxiao was willing to make this "deal" with Lin Yi because Lin Yi was not only handsome, but also the most outstanding man she knew.

She was thinking about more than just one exchange.

It seems she needs to change her personality.

Otherwise, given Lin Yi's personality, he would likely only have one conversation with her, help her resolve Qu Lianjie's situation, and then have no further involvement with her.

Lin Yi is very likely capable of doing something like this.

"Lin Yi, I will change, you just wait!"

"If Andy can do it, so can I!"

……

After agreeing to Qu Xiaoxiao's request, Lin Yi didn't think much of it; it was just a transaction.

Lin Yi went straight to the 22nd floor.

At this time, Andy had also tidied himself up.

Andy changed into casual clothes, sat on the sofa, and waited for Lin Yi to arrive.

Just as she was wondering why Lin Yi hadn't arrived yet, there was a knock at the door.

It was Lin (Nuoma Zhao) Yi who opened the door and came in.

Lin Yi opened his arms and walked over with a smile.

Andy naturally threw himself into her arms.

After embracing, the two kissed.

After a long time, the two separated.

“I can go by myself,” Andy said, her face flushed.

"I know, but I'm going that way anyway," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"Hmm." Andy couldn't help but laugh.

She's particularly good with numbers; could she possibly know where he was going on his way?

However, since Lin Yi had said that, she didn't expose him.

Lin Yi asked, "Did Old Tan say when he'll arrive?"

“Eight o’clock,” Andy said.

Lin Yi checked the time and found that it was already past seven o'clock.

Lin Yi sighed and said, "What a pity. I was planning to have a chat with them before we went."

"No rush, there's plenty of time tonight," Andy said, blushing slightly.

"Mhm." Lin Yi nodded with a smile.

It had been a long time since they'd seen each other, so Andy was very excited to see Lin Yi.

However, she didn't show it too obviously.

When Lin Yi had a deeper conversation with her, he fully realized it.

This kind of thing can be faked at any time, but it can't be faked at this moment.

Lin Yi and Andy got dressed, grabbed their bags, and set off.

The two got into the car.
