Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 120

“The property certificate is gone. If nothing unexpected happens, either my dad sold the house or he mortgaged it,” Jiang Nansun said.

After hearing this, Zhu Suosuo was completely at a loss for words.

"Nan Sun, has your uncle gone mad? I can understand investing in stocks; there are many people in Shanghai who do it."

But it's fine to just play around, but it shouldn't lead to financial ruin from stock trading, right?

"Nan Sun, to be frank, if it weren't for Lin Yi helping you today, your family probably wouldn't be in such a peaceful situation. It was truly terrifying," Zhu Suosuo asked.

"What can we do now that things have come to this?"

"I'm on my way home now. I heard my dad has already gone home, so I need to go back and ask him," Jiang Nansun said helplessly.

"Huh? Something so serious happened? Aren't you two home? What happened to Auntie and Grandma?" Zhu Suosuo asked subconsciously.

Jiang Nansun was also stunned.

"773... It's Lin Yi. Yes, Lin Yi saw I was in a bad mood, so he took me out for a walk." Jiang Nansun thought for a while before saying this.

After speaking, Jiang Nansun, like a thief, secretly glanced at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi felt a strange sense of familiarity as he watched Jiang Nansun secretly peeking at people.

Isn't this Zhu Suosuo from a couple of days ago?

"Oh, it's good for you to go out for a walk and relax."

"Nan Sun, don't overthink it, it's all in the past," Zhu Suosuo comforted her.

Zhu Suosuo didn't think much of it, because she was also very upset. She suddenly learned that such a big thing had happened in Nansun's family, but she couldn't do anything about it.

Zhu Suosuo just wanted to get to Nansun's house as soon as possible, to see Nansun, and to comfort her.

Nan said she must be very sad at home today.

"Okay, I know. Then hurry up and come over." Jiang Nansun breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Zhu Suosuo didn't investigate further.

If Zhu Suosuo pressed for an answer, Jiang Nansun wouldn't know how to respond.

However, Zhu Suosuo was clearly distracted and absent-minded; her focus was not on this.

“Okay, I’m on my way,” Zhu Suosuo said.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Suosuo was extremely anxious.

She didn't expect that what Jiang Nan had told her a few days ago would happen so quickly.

The speed at which the Jiang family's troubles occurred was beyond her imagination.

Zhu Suosuo felt a surge of relief; thankfully, Lin Yi was by Nan Shuo's side while she was away.

Otherwise, how powerless Nan Sun would be if she were all alone.

However, didn't Lin Yi spend ten million on Nan Sun today?

Ten million! She'd never seen so much money in her entire life.

Having incurred such a huge favor, I wonder how Nan Sun will ever repay it.

Even if Nan Sun sold herself, it wouldn't be enough.

……

the other side.

Jiang Nansun

Lin Yi laughed and said, "I took you shopping, how come you fell asleep while we were shopping?"

Jiang Nansun covered Lin Yi's mouth, her face flushed, and said, "You're not allowed to say it."

"Haha, okay, okay, I won't say anything." Lin Yi laughed nonstop.

They didn't go shopping; they clearly went to Wushan together.

"Hmph (^)"

Jiang Nansun blushed and didn't want to talk to Lin Yi, so she just walked ahead.

Lin Yi followed behind, looking at Jiang Nansun ahead, and said with a smile, "Nansun, why are you running? What's there to be embarrassed about between us?"

"What do you think? You're always bullying me," Jiang Nan said, blushing.

Jiang Nansun was speechless. It was clearly Lin Yi's responsibility to come out and recuperate.

She wouldn't have come out if it weren't for Lin Yi.

As it turns out, Lin Yi is carefree and doesn't take it seriously at all, while Jiang Nansun is embarrassed by the question.

"Where have I ever bullied you? I love you so much."

"How about I talk and you just listen?" Lin Yi said.

Jiang Nansun casually asked, "What do you want to say?"

"What are you going to do about your house?" Lin Yi asked directly.

"What else can I do? I've done all I can. I can't handle the house issue anymore," Jiang Nansun said after thinking for a moment.

"Are you sure?" Lin Yi asked.

“Yes, I’m sure. My mom said that we still have 600,000 yuan in the family, so their normal life is not a problem,” Jiang Nansun said.

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded and didn't say anything more.

Since Jiang Nansun wasn't going to speak, he wouldn't say anything more.

The two continued walking home.

Jiang Pengfei had returned home two hours earlier.

After returning home, Jiang Pengfei has been kneeling on the ground for two hours.

The old lady loved her son very much; she had never hit him once in his life.

But today, the old lady made Jiang Pengfei kneel on the ground for a full two hours.

It's clear that today's events really angered the old lady.

She's so old, she's never been this angry before.

And I have never embarrassed myself.

"Do you know you're wrong?"

The old lady's cane struck Jiang Pengfei hard, showing absolutely no mercy.

However, the old lady was quite old and didn't have much strength.

"I understand, Mom, I know I was wrong," Jiang Pengfei said, kneeling on the ground.

"Mom has never been so humiliated in her life. Do you know how humiliated I am today?" the old lady said.

“I know, Mom, I didn’t want to either,” Jiang Pengfei said.

"How did you end up owing so much money? Are you crazy? Are you possessed? Have you gone mad from investing in stocks?" the old lady asked.

“I…” Jiang Pengfei lowered his head, unsure how to answer.

That's right, he's become obsessed with stock trading.

“This is the first and the last time. If it happens again, your mother will jump off the building and make you live with guilt for the rest of your life,” the old woman said.

"mom--"

Jiang Pengfei cried out, not daring to think any further.

If it really was because of him that his mother jumped off the building, how could he dare to continue thinking about it?

The old lady was in tears and said, "Pengfei, your father had high hopes for you when he named you that, but you have never amounted to anything."

It's okay if you're useless, but you can't be so wasteful!

"It's all my fault," Jiang Pengfei said.

“This time, Xiao Yi helped you, you should know how grateful you are,” the old lady said.

“I know, I will remember,” Jiang Pengfei said.

The old lady continued, "If it weren't for Xiaoyi, I would have jumped off the building. Really, Pengfei, the thing I care about most in my life is my reputation, but you've ruined it for me today."

I've never been so humiliated in my entire life. It's absolutely shameful.

If Xiaoyi hadn't helped you pay off your debt, the people demanding repayment would have swarmed around you like a dense crowd...

Don't you think about what the neighbors will think? Our Jiang family has lived here for so many years, everyone in the neighborhood is a neighbor, who doesn't know us?

"If it weren't for Xiaoyi, I really would have jumped right then and there."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Pengfei lowered his head, not daring to even lift it.

Because what his mother said was true.

His mother was a strong-willed person her whole life, and what she cared about most was her reputation.

However, today he has completely disgraced the Jiang family.

"Will there be a next time?" the old lady asked.

"No, there won't be a next time. If there is a second time, I'm not human," Jiang Pengfei vowed through gritted teeth.

Actually, he didn't know anything about stocks at first; he was dragged into it by his friends.

"It's good that you know," the old lady said.

"What about Xiao Yi's matter? What are you planning to do about it?" the old lady asked.

“I will find a way to earn money to pay back the money that Nan Sun borrowed from Xiao Yi,” Jiang Pengfei said.

"Tell me, you haven't worked for half your life, what can you do? How are you going to pay back the money?" the old lady asked.

Jiang Pengfei couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He was such a grown man, yet he had never worked before, and it seemed like he really didn't know anything.

"Mom, let me think about it, let me think about it carefully," Jiang Pengfei said awkwardly.

“The family only has a few hundred thousand left, there’s not much money left, you can only rely on yourself,” the old lady said.

"Okay." Jiang Pengfei nodded.
