Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

"You bought it yourself? Where did you get the money?" Lu Yuan asked, his eyes wide.

"It was given to me by an older brother, is that alright?" Peng Jiahe said.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but say, "Peng Jiahe, this pile of stuff of yours must cost two or three thousand yuan. Who would give you so much stuff?"

Peng Jiahe, you're still a minor, do you know that? How could you accept things from people like that?

And what if someone has ill intentions towards you?

"It's none of your business," Peng Jiahe said, annoyed.

She accepted that her older brother, who was so good to her and so handsome, had designs on her.

“If it weren’t for your dad’s instructions, do you think I would want to take care of you? Once you’re eighteen, you can do whatever you want,” Lu Yuan said.

“That’s what I think too,” Peng Jiahe said angrily.

After returning home, Peng Jiahe complained to Lin Yi that her guardian, Lu Yuan, was very annoying.

Lin Yi was speechless when he saw it.

Wow, being handsome really does attract girls.

With his looks, he won't starve to death even if he runs out of money.

Peng Jiahe is a bit clingy.

Chapter 192 Gu Jia and Peng Jiahe's Changes (Seeking Automatic Subscription)

Peng Jiahe is a girl whose personality is very rebellious because of her family background. She talks to everyone in a very impulsive way.

Today, Peng Jiahe met Lin Yi. Lin Yi could clearly sense that Peng Jiahe was willing to play with him because he was handsome.

If someone else were to approach her, given Peng Jiahe's personality, she would definitely give them a thorough dressing-down, or even beat them up.

Given Peng Jiahe's personality, he is absolutely capable of doing something like this.

Although Lin Yi was educating Peng Jiahe, to be honest, she was still very smart.

This is why Peng Jiahe was much better than usual after meeting Lin Yi.

I wonder how Peng Jiahe will explain the gift Lin Yi gave her to Lu Yuan.

What happened to Lu Yuan was a bit melodramatic.

He was imprisoned in the United States for three years. After he was released, his girlfriend got together with his good friend Jiang Haokun.

Jiang Haokun is Jiang Laide's older brother.

Lu Yuan and Jiang Haokun are also good buddies from the "853" class.

Lu Yuan already has a lot of troubles to deal with, and he also has to take care of a rebellious girl named Peng Jiahe. You can imagine how difficult their situation must be right now.

Lin Yi was driving when he saw Peng Jiahe's complaint message. Not long after he had this idea, he saw the message.

"Lu Yuan is so annoying. I told him it was a gift from a friend, but he still had to ask."

"By the way, Lu Yuan is my father's friend and also my current guardian."

"Lin Yi, why aren't you saying anything?"

Lin Yi glanced at the red light and replied, "I just dropped you off at home, so I need to go home too, right? I'm driving right now, don't you know you can't use your phone while driving?"

"Right, I forgot," Peng Jiahe said. "Let me say one last thing, Lin Yi, can I still hang out with you in the future?"

“Sure, why not? But I don’t have time every day,” Lin Yi said.

“Not every day, just occasionally is fine,” Peng Jiahe said.

“No problem,” Peng Jiahe said.

At home, Peng Jiahe was overjoyed to see Lin Yi's reply.

Finally, she'll have someone to play with, and the thought makes her happy.

After Peng Jiahe stood up, she looked at her clothes and then at the handbag on the sofa.

Peng Jiahe could clearly sense that Lin Yi was rather disgusted by her appearance.

Of course, what I disliked most was her dreadlocks.

Peng Jiahe thought about it and decided to go to the barbershop tomorrow to get a normal haircut. She said she would straighten it, or even let it hang loose.

As for clothing, she tried them all on, and they made her look youthful, beautiful, and pretty.

It's just that it doesn't quite match her temperament.

Her all-black leather jacket and black boots made her look cold and ruthless. Luckily, she didn't wear cool-toned lipstick, otherwise she would have really looked like a female assassin.

"This style is so good, yet Lin Yi still complains."

Not only was it hot, but she was also disliked by others. She could tell that Lin Yi did not approve of her aesthetic sense.

Forget it, let's change it.

Lin Yi was the first friend she made after returning home.

……

Lin Yi had originally planned to go back, but then he saw a message.

It's Gu Jia.

"Lin Yi, are you there? Are you available to take this call now?"

During this month, Lin Yi still kept in touch with Gu Jia and even had a meal with her.

Lin Yi replied, "Convenient."

The next moment, Gu Jia called Lin Yi's phone.

Lin Yi answered the call and asked with a smile, "Gu Jia, what's wrong? You seem a little anxious."

"Excuse me, may I ask you a question? Jiang Nansun, the girl who's been really popular today, is the Lin Yi she's talking about you?"

"Of course, if you feel uncomfortable, that's fine. I was just curious and asked casually," Gu Jia said.

A little curious?

Lin Yi would never believe such a thing.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Yes, it's me."

Gu Jia said, "Is it really you? From what Jiang Nansun said, it seems like she has some connection with you."

Lin Yi, you're with Xiaoqin, so there are some things I, as an outsider, shouldn't say, I…”

Lin Yi smiled and explained, "I know what you mean, Gu Jia, there really isn't one."

Let me put it this way: they obtained residency through skilled worker visas; they are very capable. And as it turns out, my judgment was excellent.

Lin Yi was just making things up for now. It would probably be months, or even longer, before his relationship with Jiang Nansun was made public.

A few months later, Gu Jia will already be his prey.

Lin Yi knew very well that Gu Jia either wouldn't make a decision, or once she did, as long as Lin Yi treated her well, Gu Jia would definitely be devoted to him.

By then, even if Gu Jia finds out the true nature of his relationship with Jiang Nansun, it won't have much of an impact.

Gu Jia couldn't help but laugh and tease, "The nation's goddess! Even I'm smitten. And he's your employee. Aren't you tempted?"

Lin Yi smiled and asked, "Where are you now? Are you with anyone? I want to talk to you for a few minutes."

“I’m at the company, I have people with me,” Gu Jia said.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi was astonished and asked, "It's already 8 PM, and you're still at work?"

"Well, I originally wanted to find a job at a foreign company; it's easy, and the pay is pretty good."

"Who knew this company offered better conditions, so I came. It's just a bit tiring, as you know," Gu Jia said.

"Never mind then, I'll talk to you about it another time," Lin Yi said.

"Okay," Gu Jia said.

Gu Jia hadn't expected that things weren't as simple as they seemed; there was something going on.

Otherwise, given Lin Yi's carefree personality, he wouldn't be so cautious.

Since he's keeping it so secret, it means the matter is very important.

Lin Yi originally intended to go back, but then he remembered that Gu Jia hadn't returned yet, so he went to Gu Jia's place instead.

Gu Jia rented apartments all owned by Lin Yi, so of course Lin Yi had the keys.

After the umbrella went inside, Lin Yi asked Gu Jia about her get off work hours; she had half an hour left.

Seven minutes, plus her time after get off work, is enough.

Yi Linyi ordered eight dishes directly from the hotel and had them delivered.

Fifty minutes later, the hotel delivered the food Lin Yi had ordered to his home.

2 Lin Yi smiled as he set the food down, then took out a bottle of red wine and two wine glasses.

Everything is ready; all that's left is for Gu Jia to return.

Gu Jia arrived in less than two minutes.

When Yi Gu Jia opened the door, she was surprised because she smelled a rich fragrance in the room.

Jiu Gujia even wondered if she had entered the wrong room.

However, Gu Jia soon changed her mind, because she saw Lin Yi directly.

Two weeks ago, Lin Yi did the same thing at her house, cooking some dishes. She found that meal unforgettable.

It was during that meal on February 2.7th that their relationship progressed significantly, becoming less and less purely platonic.

"Lin Yi, what brings you here?" Gu Jia asked with a smile.

"I apologize for the intrusion, I've come uninvited," Lin Yi said with a smile.

"No, no," Gu Jia quickly shook her head.

The fact that Gu Jia was not angry at Lin Yi's sudden arrival, but rather very happy, speaks volumes.
