Urban Life: I Became Jiang Nansun's Landlord

Page 192

Andy suddenly remembered what Lin Yi had told her and asked, "How much does Fan Xiaomei earn in a month, and how does she spend it?"

"If we're going to eat, we'll have dinner."

Water, electricity, and gas are all shared equally, and it's not much, just over a hundred a month.

"The main issue is the monthly rent, but if the three of us split it, it's only a little over a thousand yuan a month," Guan Juer said after thinking carefully.

"Anything else?" Andy asked.

“That’s all, Andy. Don’t you know, Sister Fan is very frugal every month?” Guan Juer said.

Andy said, "Lin Yi said Fan Shengmei earns more than 10,000 yuan a month, but we don't know where the money goes."

Guan Juer is also very smart; after Andy gave her a little pointer, she understood immediately.

"Lin Yi means that there's something wrong with Sister Fan," Guan Juer said.

"Yes, without a doubt, Lin Yi is very smart. Since he said that, it must not be without reason."

"To be fair, she's been working in Shanghai for so long. Even if she can't buy a house there, she shouldn't be this strapped for cash for normal expenses," Andy said.

Guan Juer understood.

She needs to find some time to ask Sister Fan.

When Andy arrived at Guan Juer's company, he stopped.

Andy said, "Work hard, improve yourself, and keep going."

"Yes, Andy, you too, keep it up!" Guan Juer said, clenching her little fist.

Andy smiled and went back to work.

Andy thought about what Lin Yi said carefully and found that it was indeed true.

Aside from the elusive Qu Xiaoxiao, she's the only normal one among the four.

Next is Guan Guan. Guan Guan is definitely a good girl. She works hard every day and doesn't have many worries.

Qiu Yingying is alright; she doesn't have any bad intentions. She's just too trusting and a bit too naive, making her easily deceived.

As for Fan Shengmei, Andy didn't know what to say about her anymore.

I don't have a good impression of them, but I don't have a bad impression of them either.

That's fine.

Thinking about it this way, she's really a normal person.

……

Eight in the morning.

Jiang Lai went to the luxury store with the intention of having fun.

She wanted to see just how similar the woman who looked so much like her really was.

Before Jiang Lai even went inside, she saw Wang Manni at the entrance, trying her best to sell a couple more luxury items.

Jiang Lai was stunned when she saw the person from a short distance away.

Because this Wang Manni, judging solely by her appearance, does indeed resemble her very much.

However, Jiang Lai quickly came to terms with it. Apart from looking somewhat like her, Wang Manni was nothing like her at all.

Jiang Lai walked over.

When Wang Manni saw the person who came, she was about to greet them when she saw someone who looked very similar to her, and Wang Manni was stunned.

However, the other person's attire was completely different from hers.

"Hello, who are you?" Wang Manni asked softly.

"Come chat with me over there. After we're done, I'll buy you a million worth of stuff, how about that?" Jiang Lai said.

"This..." Wang Manni didn't know how to refuse her.

“Don’t be afraid. I’m just curious about you and would like to make friends with you,” Jiang Lai said.

“Okay.” Wang Manni nodded.

The other person was clearly wealthy, much better than her, a poor girl who was busy making money all day long.

The other party probably found her purely out of curiosity.

To be honest, Wang Manni was also curious.

The two went to a nearby coffee shop and entered a private room.

Jiang Lai said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that there would be a girl in Shanghai who looks just like me."

“I didn’t expect that either,” Wang Manni said.

Last night, I met someone.

When he saw me, he called me Wang Manni. Later, he explained that it was because we looked very similar.

"Out of curiosity, I came here to find you." Jiang Lai explained why she had come here today.

Wang Manni asked, "Who was the man you met?"

“A very handsome man,” Jiang Lai said.

Wang Manni instantly realized that she had encountered Lin Yi.

However, Wang Manni was still very happy that Lin Yi could call her name right away.

Upon hearing Lin Yi's name, Wang Manni couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Lai instantly realized that this Wang Manni might like Lin Yi.

“My name is Jiang Lai, Manny. Is it okay if I call you that?” Jiang Lai said.

“It’s okay, that’s what my friends call me,” Wang Manni said.

Jiang Lai smiled and said, "Manny, do you like Lin Yi?"

Wang Manni was slightly taken aback, but quickly shook her head and said, "Lin Yi has a girlfriend."

Jiang Lai saw her reaction and immediately understood.

In Wang Manni's heart, she probably liked Lin Yi.

However, because Lin Yi had a girlfriend, she only harbored a secret crush on him and never confessed her feelings.

Jiang Lai said, "Manny, as an outsider, I think that the most important thing in life is what you like."

As for girlfriends, so what? As long as we're not married, there are endless possibilities.

Wang Manni was completely dumbfounded after hearing this.

Is this Jiang Lai in front of me really this arrogant?

"Do you know why I said that?" Jiang Lai continued, puzzled.

"Why?" Wang Manni asked instinctively.

"Because high-quality men are very rare, if you meet one, don't let him go."

"You'll only meet a few high-quality men in your lifetime. If you don't seize the opportunity, you'll only be able to marry an ordinary person," Jiang Lai said.

"I……"

It's not just that there are few high-quality men, they're practically extinct!

Besides, these high-quality men are either already married or have girlfriends.

She's been selling luxury goods for so many years, and many men, all in their forties or fifties, have wanted to pursue her.

But she's only in her early twenties.

Jiang Lai's words had a great impact on Wang Manni's mind.

Wang Manni never expected Jiang Lai to say those words.

"I don't know about you ordinary people, but for us rich people, as long as the other person isn't married, there's a chance."

Why did other girls meet him first? This outstanding man is hers?

Besides, in the world of feelings, there's no such thing as first come, first served," Jiang Lai said.

Wang Manni was speechless upon hearing this.

Right now, Wang Manni's mind is in complete turmoil.

"Excuse me, I have something to do, I'll head back now," Wang Manni said, standing up.

"Okay, remember what I said, don't be shy," Jiang Lai said with a smile.

"Thank you," Wang Manni said.

Jiang Lai immediately understood what Wang Manni meant when she saw her reaction.

If Wang Manni kicks her out, it means she still has some hesitation.

But after listening, Wang Manni actually thanked her, which means that what she just said touched Wang Manni.

Wang Manni has already fallen for him.

As for why Jiang Lai did this?

You can say she did it for fun or whatever.

You can say she did it for the sake of others.

Both are correct.

Jiang Lai was also curious about something: would Lin Yi be attracted to a girl who looked a lot like her?

She finally met such an interesting man, and she finally met such a man who didn't take her seriously at all.

Jiang Lai insisted that she had to test his mettle!

Jiang Lai took out a new card and sent a message to Lin Yi first.

"Lin Yi, this is Manny. I have so much to tell you. I'll be waiting for you at xx coffee shop."

Not long after, he sent another message to Wang Manni.
