Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 47

Knowing that Lin Yi lived alone, there was no need to ask any more questions.

"Auntie, I'm usually at home and don't have much to do. I own ten houses, and when I'm not busy, I collect rent, so I make a little money each month," Lin Yi said with a shy smile.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun instantly wanted to give Lin Yi a thumbs up.

Goodness, she set up ten houses right from the start; her family must be stunned.

Jiang Nansun looked at her family, and as she had guessed, everyone had a different expression, but they all looked stunned.

Jiang Nansun suppressed a laugh and secretly squeezed Lin Yi's hand.

Yes, that's for sure, a hand squeeze.

It wasn't revenge for Lin Yi pinching her hand earlier.

"Cough cough..."

The Jiang family already knew the general situation of Lin Yi's family through Jiang Pengfei's words, including that they knew he owned ten houses.

However, knowing it is one thing, but hearing Lin Yi say it himself is a completely different feeling.

“Auntie, if you don’t like it, I can go to work in the future. I’m willing to change for Nansun,” Lin Yi said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nansun couldn't help but want to laugh.

This guy is a master liar; he doesn't even blink.

Jiang Nansun couldn't resist squeezing Lin Yi's hand again.

Before Jiang Nansun's mother could speak, the old lady spoke up.

“Good, collecting rent is good, no hardship or toil.” The old lady said, “Child, as long as you don’t mess around and don’t speculate in stocks, you’ll have more money than you can spend in your lifetime.”

After she finished speaking, the old lady glared at Jiang Pengfei.

"Yes, Grandma, that's what I think too," Lin Yi said with a smile.

(Dear creators, please support me!!!)

Chapter 51 What? A wedding? (Seeking flowers and ratings)

Whether you have a job or not is not important; what's important is having a stable source of income and not going astray.

In today's society, is there anything more stable than collecting rent?

Therefore, even if Lin Yi is unemployed, they don't think there's anything wrong with it.

Being able to support oneself without working, or by collecting rent, is a skill that people possess.

As for why the old lady glared at Jiang Pengfei, it's because Jiang Pengfei was one of those who went astray.

In Shanghai, stock trading is a very common activity; almost every household has someone who knows how to trade stocks.

But you can just play around with stocks; you can't be like Jiang Pengfei, who's become obsessed.

The Chiang family originally inherited a considerable amount of money and property.

However, over the years, apart from a small portion for food, clothing, and daily necessities, most of the money has been squandered by Jiang Pengfei through stock speculation.

"How long have you known Nansun?" the old lady asked.

"We've known each other for two months. At that time, I was having coffee in a coffee shop, and Nan Sun was sitting not far in front of me."

At that time, Nan Sun received a phone call and got up to leave. Because she left in such a hurry, she lost her keys.

"I happened to see it, so I chased after him, and that's how we met," Lin Yi said with a smile.

Jiang Nansun listened with a happy expression, and at the same time, she wrote down what Lin Yi said.

Because they hadn't known each other for long, and the story about handing over the coffee shop key was all fabricated by Lin Yi, it was completely unfounded. They never intended for such a thing to happen between them.

However, they did meet at a coffee shop. When they met Lin Yi, one of Lin Yi's tenants contacted her, saying he wanted to move out.

But Lin Yi did not agree.

She initially thought Lin Yi was going to bully the girl, but then Lin Yi suddenly said, "I have ten apartments," and told the female tenant to choose another one to continue living in.

Jiang Nansun still remembers these things.

Jiang Nansun looked at Lin Yi. She hadn't expected Lin Yi to describe their chance encounter as so coincidental and so beautiful.

From then on, she would say that this was how she met Lin Yi, and that no one would know anyway.

hey-hey……

"Who's pursuing whom?" Jiang Nansun's mother suddenly asked with a smile.

“Mom, he pursued me,” Jiang Nansun quickly said.

Lin Yi glanced at Jiang Nansun. If there weren't so many people around, Lin Yi would have really wanted to ask her, "How can you say something like that? Don't you have any shame?"

However, one must take money and do the job.

Since Jiang Nansun paid such a high price and went all out in the charade, Lin Yi naturally had no choice but to play along.

This scene was so similar to Lin Yi's memory.

Because that's what Zhu Suosuo said too.

Jiang Nansun smiled at Lin Yi, grabbed Lin Yi's hand, and squeezed it hard.

Even though Jiang Nansun didn't say it directly, Lin Yi understood what she meant.

Lin Yi nodded, blushing slightly, and said, "Yes, when I first saw Nan Sun, I was amazed by her beauty. Her flowing hair and delicate face immediately attracted me."

I shamelessly asked Nan Sun for her contact information.

Later, it was I who took the initiative to pursue Nan Sun.

Jiang Nansun was very pleased to hear this. Looking at her family, he almost said directly, "See, I told you so. He was the one who pursued me first."

Lin Yi glanced at Jiang Nansun's smug expression and inwardly curled his lip.

Lin Yi was too embarrassed to point it out to her.

How could she say something like that?

"So when do you and Nansun plan to get married?" Jiang Nansun's mother asked with a smile.

What?

marry?

Lin Yi was taken aback by the sudden question, and he subconsciously looked at Jiang Nansun.

He came to see his father-in-law because Jiang Nansun invited him to dinner.

Lin Yi can't just marry her because of a meal, can he?

The price to pay is too high.

How should he answer this question?

Jiang Nansun was also a little confused because her mother's question was too sudden, without any prior warning.

Lin Yi noticed that Jiang Nansun was also a little flustered, and knew that she was not on guard at all.

Lin Yi could only say, "Auntie, I think we're still young. Isn't it too early to talk about marriage now? I think we should work hard for a few years first."

Of course, if Nansun really wants to get married, I have no objection; I'm perfectly fine with that.

Lin Yi said he was fine with anything.

And so, Lin Yi passed the buck back to Jiang Nansun.

Jiang Nansun blushed and said, "Mom, we've only just started dating, isn't it a bit too hasty to start talking about marriage?"

Moreover, I think Lin Yi is right. We're still young; isn't it too early to get married now?

Jiang Nansun's mother did not speak, nor did she make any strong demands.

Jiang Pengfei said, "Yes, the child is still young, so there's no rush to get married. We can work hard for two years before getting married, and I support that."

He knew Lin Yi was a good person, but he was indeed too hasty.

Marriage is not a game; rushing things usually doesn't end well.

"Thank you for your understanding, Dad," Jiang Nansun said.

Jiang Nansun's mother smiled and said, "Mom is just asking for your thoughts, not asking you to get married right now."

Just keep getting along and be happy; Mom won't pressure you.

"Thank you too, Mom," Jiang Nansun said with a smile.

Holding Lin Yi's hand, I realized that my palms were sweating.

Jiang Nansun was also one of them.

The situation of Jiang Nansun's family is clearly more difficult to deal with than that of Zhu Suosuo's family.

The old lady smiled and said, "Knowing that Nansun has a boyfriend is enough. There's no rush to get married."

“Grandma, that’s what I think too. Things aren’t like they used to be. It’s not good to be too hasty. Besides, it’s not like I’m unwanted,” Jiang Nansun said with a smile.

"Uh-huh."

Next, Jiang Nansun's family asked many more questions, which Lin Yi and Jiang Nansun answered together, quite quickly.

When Jiang asked, Lin Yi casually made up a story to answer, making Jiang Nansun roll his eyes inwardly.

The more Lin Yi answered, the more Jiang Nansun rolled his eyes inwardly.

Honestly, even Jiang Nansun, sitting next to him, couldn't stand it anymore.

Lin Yi is really good at talking nonsense.

"You two go up first, I'll call you when the food is ready," the old lady said.

"it is good."

Jiang Nansun took Lin Yi to her room.

Upon arriving at Jiang Nansun's bedroom, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"My goodness, Jiang Nansun, it's really not easy to get a meal from you."

"I thought it would be just a few random questions, but this involves discussing marriage, I never even thought about it that way," Lin Yi said softly.
