Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 187

These two girls may have their own flaws, but without a doubt, they are both people who know how to be grateful.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to still remember something that happened two years ago.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Okay, let's have a toast to thank each other for our past encounters and for our reunion today."

"Okay, thank you for our past encounters and for our reunion today," Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer said with smiles.

The four girls read the sentence aloud carefully and all thought it was good.

Andy glanced at Lin Yi secretly. She really didn't expect that two years ago, Lin Yi would be so good to Xiao Qiu and Guan Juer, who had just arrived in Shanghai.

Moreover, he doesn't care about any reward.

Andy was astonished by this spirit and awareness.

Honestly, Lin Yi is great in every way. He has a humorous and witty personality, is very handsome, and even took the initiative to confess his feelings to her.

The problem is... no, she might have a mental illness.

Thinking of this, Andy subconsciously hid his feelings.

Lin Yi clinked glasses with them and took a small sip of wine.

Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer also took a sip, and after finishing, they looked at Lin Yi with silly smiles.

Both girls have their strengths and weaknesses, but their personalities are good enough to make them friends.

Because they don't have any bad intentions.

If Lin Yi were to get along with girls like them, he wouldn't have to worry about them having other ideas.

Fan Shengmei sat there, watching with envy, and couldn't help but say, "I want to clink glasses with you at 30 too."

"What's the reason?" Lin Yi asked with a smile.

"Do you need a reason to drink?" Fan Shengmei asked in surprise.

"Of course, if you drink without a reason, then you're just drinking randomly."

"What's the point of drinking casually besides getting drunk?" Lin Yi said.

Fan Shengmei nodded in agreement; what Lin Yi said seemed to make sense.

Fan Shengmei couldn't help but say, "Lin Yi, you're so good to them, why aren't you like that to me?"

"No? You've been renting this place from me for five or six years. When you need help, you ask me for assistance, and I don't help you?" Lin Yi said.

"But, but..." Fan Shengmei hesitated, unable to finish her sentence.

Lin Yi understood what she meant and continued Fan Shengmei's words: "But why can't I treat you as well as I treat them?"

“Yes,” Fan Shengmei asked.

This is also what Fan Shengmei has always wanted to ask.

Lin Yi said with a smile, "Two years ago, when the two of them first came to Shanghai, their personalities and abilities were very different. It would have been very difficult for them to stay."

"And you, you're good in every way. What's the point of me helping you in this situation?"

Lin Yi's words left Fan Shengmei speechless.

"Now that you mention it, it's all for my sake, huh?" Fan Shengmei said in surprise.

"Ah."

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, saying, "I help people based on the situation. If you are living a good life and are very capable, my help is just icing on the cake. What's the point?"

Besides, I didn't help them much; they worked hard on their own.

Fan Shengmei wanted to say something, but Qiu Yingying interrupted her.

Qiu Yingying said, "Sister Fan, I think what Lin Shuai said is right."

“Yes, yes, you were already doing very well back then, and I think Lin’s idea was perfectly reasonable,” Guan Juer said.

Fan Shengmei listened and glanced at the two of them.

After spending this time together, she thought they had gotten along well and become good sisters.

But through Lin Yi's incident, Fan Shengmei realized that she had been overthinking things.

If she continues to pester them, Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer will obviously get angry.

Their close friendship is less valuable than Lin Yi, an outsider...

Andy sensed the strange atmosphere and quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

Andy said, "Why talk so much? Let's eat quickly. There's so much meat, and the air conditioning is on. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Yes, yes, everyone, let's eat," Lin Yi said.

"Mmm, let's eat."

Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Only Fan Shengmei was heartbroken. She had taken such initiative, but Lin Yi still cruelly rejected her.

Does that mean there's absolutely no chance for her and Lin Yi?

Lin Yi's attitude towards others was clearly different from her attitude towards him.

When I spoke to her, I was noticeably more distant.

Fan Shengmei was very confused. Had she offended Lin Yi in some way?

After finishing the meal, Lin Yi sat for a while, chatted for a bit, and then said goodbye to everyone.

The girls saw Lin Yi off.

Everyone turned and left.

As Andy watched Lin Yi's retreating figure, she felt it necessary to make some things clear.

Since she doesn't crave romance, she shouldn't leave Lin Yi with any illusions.

Andy jogged a few steps and caught up with him.

Qiu Yingying and the others were stunned. Was there something going on between Sister Andy and Lin Yi?

"Wait a minute," Andy whispered.

"Ok?"

Lin Yi turned around and saw the familiar Andy. He smiled and asked, "What's up? Is something the matter?"

"Would you say I helped you last time?" Andy asked.

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded in agreement.

“I helped you before, and now you’re repaying kindness with enmity? That’s not right,” Andy said.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yi looked at Andy with a smile and asked, "Liking you means repaying kindness with enmity? Your reasoning doesn't make sense."

Andy looked at Lin Yi, made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "You can't like me, because I have a mental illness."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi not only didn't take a few steps back, but instead laughed and said, "You act like you're in great spirits. I have neurasthenia."

"Pfft~"

Andy burst out laughing, and the originally serious topic suddenly changed.

“I’m serious,” Andy said earnestly.

“I’m serious,” Lin Yi said.

Andy looked at Lin Yi, but couldn't see anything serious about him.

"I'm too lazy to care about you."

Andy was furious and turned away.

I've explained it to him so bluntly, but he just won't listen.

Okay, then let's just leave him be. Let him suffer a terrible setback and learn what regret is!

If they really got together, it would be torture for her to be with a woman who might have a mental illness.

Who could stand it?

However, the person didn't take Andy's earnest words to heart at all.

Or perhaps they simply don't believe it.

That really infuriated her.

Lin Yi smiled as he watched Andy's retreating figure.

I wonder what kind of expression Andy will have when he realizes he doesn't have a mental illness and thinks about what happened today?

There are some things he knows, but he can't say them directly.

So Lin Yi directly hired a private investigator to help him find someone.

That's Andy's younger brother, Xiaoming.

Once Xiaoming is found, the truth about many things will naturally become clear.

"Andy, no matter how powerful and capable you are, I'll make you blush again," Lin Yi thought to himself.

I wonder how Andy will repay him when the time comes.

……

When Andy returned, she was met with three surprised looks from three different people.

Andy didn't say anything, and they all looked at her with confusion.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Andy asked.

Qiu Yingying asked, "Sister Andy, what did you and Lin Shuai talk about?"

“It’s nothing, just some work-related stuff. He wanted me to help with the accounts. I shared my thoughts with him,” Andy said.

"Oh"

Upon hearing Andy's words, both Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer nodded and chose to believe him.

Because they all knew that Andy was very sensitive to familiarity and was proficient in mathematics. Shortly after returning to China, she became the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) of a listed company.
