Xiang Nan helps Peggy move.
Therefore, I was lucky enough to enter her "boudoir".
After entering, he was surprised.
I saw that this house was very dilapidated. The walls were not the normal white, but gray, yellow, and had some dark brown patches. I didn't know if they were blood stains.
The floor had also been worn so hard that no texture could be seen, and the gaps were filled with dirt. The house was filled with a musty smell that was difficult to dispel even with the windows open.
And there are almost no decent furniture or electrical appliances in the room. There is only a bed, a table, a chair, and a computer.
No sofa, no wardrobe, no dining table, no TV, no air conditioning, no oven, no microwave, no dishwasher...
This is the first time Xiang Nan has seen such a shabby house. To be honest, the conditions are worse than the attic where he lived before.
However, he could still see that Peggy was very dedicated to maintaining this small family.
He noticed that there was almost no clutter in the room except for the old dirt that couldn't be cleaned.
Moreover, there are several pots of flowers placed on the table. The flower pots are made of old glass jars, and there are cactus, gorse, bougainvillea, etc. in them, and they are all well taken care of.
"Peggy, which luggage is yours?" Xiang Nan asked Peggy with a smile.
"These books, this suitcase, this computer, and these pots of flowers are mine." Peggy simply packed up and said.
Xiang Nan nodded.
She didn't really have much other luggage, including basically no furniture or electrical appliances. Only there was a tall pile of books, all piled on the bedside, which looked quite spectacular.
The two then climbed up and down the stairs to move books. It took them five times to move hundreds of books.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan is now exercising and his physical condition is much better than before. Otherwise, if it were Raj, he would have vomited from exhaustion after just two moves.
…
After moving the luggage, Xiang Nan took Peggy to the landlord to get the deposit back and hand over the keys.
Peggy's landlord is a middle-aged man from Bolivia. He has a fierce face and looks at Peggy with an aggressive look.
The landlord was unhappy to learn that she was moving.
He saw that Peggy lived alone and was so beautiful, so he wanted to take advantage of her.
But unexpectedly, before he could take action, Peggy was about to move away.
I really don't want to let him go to pieces.
Although Peggy wanted to leave, he couldn't stop her. However, he still wanted to find an excuse not to refund the deposit.
Although the deposit was only five hundred dollars, it was a lot of money for him and Peggy.
"I live in this house with great care. I didn't cause any damage. You have no right to deduct my deposit." Peggy couldn't help but said angrily when she saw him making excuses not to return the deposit.
"Then you can find a lawyer to sue me. If the judge rules that I lose, then I will refund your deposit." The landlord smiled.
Seeing how shameless he was, Peggy couldn't help but her eyes were red with anger.
The cheapest lawyer in the United States, the legal fees are not cheap either. It is very normal for a lawsuit to cost several hundred dollars. At that time, the deposit returned may not be enough to pay the lawyer's fees.
Therefore, many tenants often choose to give up and get their deposit back when faced with this situation.
Xiang Nan saw this from the side and couldn't help but stepped forward. He took out his wallet and took out a lawyer's card.
"I am a friend of Miss Swanson and a practicing attorney. Do you really want me to sue you for a mere five hundred dollars?" he asked.
After hearing Xiang Nan's words, the landlord was surprised.
He carefully looked at the ID in Xiang Nan's hand, then turned back to the house unwillingly, took out five hundred dollars and gave it to Peggy.
"I'm giving you an advantage this time. Get out of here." He slammed the door angrily.
…
Peggy was overjoyed when she got her deposit back.
"Thank you, Raj, you have helped me a lot." She said gratefully.
"You're welcome, just get the money back." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let's get out of here now."
"Okay." Peggy nodded, "By the way, which school did you study law at?"
"I have never studied law." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled.
"Then your lawyer's certificate is..." Peggy asked in surprise when she heard this.
"Photoshopped it myself." Xiang Nan explained with a smile.
When he was hanging out with Howard, in order to increase his success rate in picking up girls, Howard once pretended to be a lawyer. In order to enhance his credibility, he also specially produced a lawyer's certificate.
Unfortunately, their routine never succeeded. But today, a strange combination of circumstances came in handy.
After listening to Xiang Nan's explanation, Peggy couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
I didn't expect that Xiang Nan, who looks handsome, talented, calm and generous, would have such a ridiculous history.
"Actually, your conditions are very good. How come no girl likes you?" Peggy said regretfully.
Xiang Nan is young, handsome, talented, gentle and considerate. He is a very good boy, but no girl appreciates him. She feels aggrieved for him.
"Actually, you don't know that before this, I suffered from severe selective mutism. I couldn't say a word when I met a girl." Xiang Nan explained, "It wasn't until recently that this problem was cured."
"I see." Peggy suddenly said, "Then you were really pitiful before."
Xiang Nan has such good conditions, but he is unable to chat with girls, so that he has been single for more than 20 years. It is really worthy of tears of sympathy.
"It doesn't matter, there are gains and losses." Xiang Nan waved his hand and said with a smile, "It has actually developed my ability to be good at listening."
Peggy heard this and nodded.
The ability to listen is very important. The reason why many couples are at odds is because they don't want to listen to each other, so they communicate less and less, and eventually break up.
Xiang Nan has been silent for more than twenty years and has developed good listening skills. Then he will definitely be a good husband in the future.
"If you have anything on your mind in the future, you can tell me." Xiang Nan smiled again.
"Yeah." Peggy hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
…
"Raj, let me treat you to dinner tonight. Thank you for helping me so much." After helping Peggy move, she suggested with a smile.
"OK, what are you going to treat me to?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"I'll cook the food myself, okay?" Peggy thought for a moment and said.
"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded, "But is there anything to eat at home now?"
"No, but I can go to the supermarket to buy it." Peggy shook her head and smiled.
Her new home is now empty, with no decent furniture or appliances.
"OK, I'll take you to buy it." Xiang Nan smiled.
Help people to the end and send Buddha to the West. Peggy is so beautiful, so he is willing to help more.
