In fact, when I saw the landlady dragging a few suitcases, I was already sure that the landlady must be here to rent a house.
But I still don't want to believe it.
After all, the boss lady is worth tens of millions!
Even though she is now in decline, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In any case, the landlady wouldn't be reduced to this. She wants to rent a house in such an urban village, right?
If this is really the case, it can only mean that the boss lady is really out of money now. She is under great financial pressure right now!
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became, so I quietly parked the car aside and followed the landlady from a distance.
The landlady dragged a few suitcases into a small building.
The small building is built a bit like a student dormitory. It has three floors, with six single rooms on each floor. There is a long corridor at the door.
Seeing that the landlady was carrying three suitcases alone, it was very difficult for her to go upstairs, so I resisted the urge to step forward and help.
If I come forward to help, there is no way to know whether the landlady is really here to rent a house.
When I heard the landlady go up to the second floor, I stepped lightly and walked upstairs slowly.
In order not to embarrass the boss lady to see me, I put on a mask. Plus I've never worn this outfit before. I estimate that even if I stand in front of the landlady, as long as I don't speak, she won't be able to recognize me.
As soon as I arrived on the second floor, I saw the proprietress talking to a fat middle-aged woman standing at the door of a single room.
The tone of the landlady's voice was still so gentle and pleasant.
"Landlord, can you install an air conditioner in this room? The weather is getting hotter and hotter now. It's really impossible to live without air conditioning."
The fat woman's tone was a little cold.
"It's no problem to add air conditioning. But the rent will be increased by two months. Are you sure you want to increase it?"
When the landlady heard that the rent would be increased by two hundred, she hesitated and shook her head.
"Forget it then! I haven't found a job recently. When I find a job, I'll come to the landlord to install air conditioning, okay?"
The fat woman turned and left.
As they walked, the fat woman muttered.
"The clothes he wears look quite high-end, but I didn't expect that he can't even afford an extra two hundred yuan in rent. He's another poor guy pretending to be a socialite."
The fat woman's voice was loud, and the landlady must have heard it, but she deliberately pretended not to hear it and continued to clean up the messy and dirty little rental house.
I stood in the corridor, looking at the back of the landlady from a distance, and suddenly felt my nose was a little sore.
The landlady who had always been pampered and lived in a high-end villa area suddenly fell into a place like this. Renting a small house of less than 30 square meters, I still have to be angry with that fat woman.
And all this was just because she didn't want to see my legs broken by Li Liangcai.
I secretly clenched my fists and secretly swore in my heart that no matter what this time, I would help the boss lady get the fifteen million back.
I quietly exited the corridor and came to another small building behind the small building.
Standing here, I can see the boss lady busy in the room through the small window of the rental house opposite.
Looking at the proprietress in the small building opposite, I took out my mobile phone and dialed the proprietress's mobile phone.
The landlady answered quickly.
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"
The landlady's tired voice was breathless.
Not only had the previous landlady never lived in a place like this, she had also never done such a dirty and tiring thing.
I really wanted to rush over and help the boss lady do all the dirty and tiring work.
But I know I can't do this.
Although the boss lady has a gentle temperament, she is actually very strong at heart. She obviously had no money, but she still insisted on telling me that she was as skinny as a camel and bigger than a horse, just because she didn't want me to worry.
It's funny, I never doubted it before.
If I appeared in front of the boss's wife now, I would worry about hurting her self-esteem, so I could only endure it for the time being.
"Madam boss, where are you?"
I asked deliberately.
The landlady forced a smile on her tired face.
"Didn't I tell you that I'm in my best friend's villa! I know you miss me, but it's really not suitable for us to see each other these days. Please bear with me for a few more days.
Be good! "
After hearing what the landlady said, my nose became even more sore.
"Then what are you doing now?"
I saw the landlady pick up a dark rag and start wiping the table, and I couldn't help but ask again.
The landlady is a very clean person. In the past, if there was a stain on the rag in their house that couldn't be washed away, she would throw it away.
But now, she wipes the table with such a dirty rag.
The landlady wiped the dirt on the table and said to me with a smile: "I'm cleaning the room! Although my best friend's room is big, she usually doesn't clean it. It's so messy that I can't stand it.
It's almost done now. I'm going to take a bath in her big bathtub, so I won't talk to you anymore.
If you are fine, I will hang up! "
I knew the boss lady was lying, but I didn't expose her.
"Good night, boss lady!"
After hanging up the phone, I returned to the car, lit a cigarette, and silently looked at the busy figures in the room opposite.
In the small rental room of 30 square meters, the landlady hung up the phone and stared at her cell phone for a while. A happy smile quietly appeared on that beautiful face.
Although the wife of the boss has nothing now, she feels very sweet in her heart when she thinks that I am caring about her.
I sat in the car, picking up my phone and putting it down again and again.
I really want to send a message to Xia Yao and tell her that the boss lady needs help now. But I was hesitant.
If Xia Yao is told about the current situation of the landlady, Xia Yao will definitely ask for the reason.
Then, Xia Yao will know about the boss's wife's divorce.
Xia Yao is now living with the proprietress's parents. If I tell Xia Yao, then the proprietress's parents will definitely know about the proprietress's divorce.
But I promised the boss lady not to let her parents know about her divorce for the time being.
But if I don't tell Xia Yao and let the landlady live in such a place, I really won't worry.
When the landlady comes here, she is like a fairy who has been demoted to the mortal world.
I have lived in this community for more than half a year, and I know very well how chaotic the people here are. Thieves, beggars, and hooligans are everywhere.
For someone like me, who grew up in a slum, such an environment is nothing.
But for someone like the landlady who has been pampered since childhood, especially the landlady who is a stunning beauty, this place is actually very dangerous.
While I was smoking, I was thinking about how to help the landlady solve the problem at hand.
At this moment, I saw a figure appear in front of me.
This is an old man who looks to be in his fifties or sixties. He is wearing a blue short-sleeved T-shirt and a pair of black trousers. His hair is meticulously combed back.
When I parked my car just now, I saw this old man sitting on the stone bench next to me. But at that time, my mind was all on the boss lady and I didn’t pay attention to this old man.
Now that I saw him coming towards me, I began to look at him carefully.
Upon closer inspection, I immediately discovered that this man looked very similar to Luo Xiaodong, the brother of the proprietress I saw last time.
I was shocked and immediately guessed his identity.
I quickly threw away the cigarette butt in my hand.
"Hello Uncle Luo!"
