Chapter 28: I'll Pay For A Year
Lin Shuang led Fatty out of the door. Lu Wan closed the door. Thinking of Lin Shuang's serious expression, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Wanwan…" A weak voice came from the room.
Lu Wan quickly ran over. A woman was lying on the bed with a pale face. "Mom, what's wrong?" She covered the woman with a blanket.
"Who was that?" The woman asked.
"No one. Just an old high school classmate."
"High school classmate? Wanwan, I heard everything just now. That person is not bad. You have to seize the opportunity." A smile spread across the woman's pale face.
"Aiya, Mom, what are you talking about? He's just a high school classmate!" Lu Wan pretended to be angry and complained. She buried her head in the blanket, but the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.
As Lin Shuang and Fatty walked home, Fatty grumbled, "Lin Shuang, it's not that I want to criticize you, and I know that you like Lu Wan. But, we've just started, and we don't have any money. We can wait until we earn money to help her. Why do you want to take out a loan?"
Lin Shuang asked, "Who said I'm taking out a loan?"
Fatty said, "Didn't you take out a loan? How much money do you have that I don't know?"
Lin Shuang's lips curled into a smile. "I just exchanged the money in the game."
"You're bragging!" Fatty said disdainfully. "It hasn't been long since the server opened. I know that the exchange rate for game coins is very high now, but you definitely can't exchange so many."
"Believe it or not." Lin Shuang shrugged.
Fatty sighed and said, "Shuang, we've just started, and we're determined to do something in the game. I know that Lu Wan is very pitiful, and I want to help her, but we have to solve our own problems first. But you've already bought it. There's no other way. I'll return the money with you."
Lin Shuang looked at the chubby man and said, "I really exchanged the money in the game." f reeweb novel.com
"Get lost. As if I would believe you."
...
When he got home, he looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock. After taking a quick shower, Lin Shuang lay on the bed. It was already late at night, and all was quiet. The entire city had entered a dreamy state.
"It's been a long time since I've enjoyed such a carefree and fearless life." Lin Shuang sighed. "God Clan…" Hatred flashed across his eyes. "I will definitely find your weaknesses."
In the morning, Lin Shuang had yet to wake up. This was the first time he had slept so soundly, causing him to fall into a deep sleep. As for Fatty, he was sleeping like a dead pig.
Knock knock knock!
Someone knocked hard on the door.
Knock knock knock! Knock knock knock!
Lin Shuang opened his eyes in a daze. Who was it? Why was he knocking so early? He got dressed and opened the door.
A middle-aged man in his forties or fifties stood in the doorway. He wore a white tank top, gray shorts, and a pair of flip-flops. Although he was shorter than Lin Shuang, he still looked down at him.
"Lin Shuang." The man's tone was sharp and mean. "Do you know what time it is today?"
"What time is it?" Lin Shuang yawned. He had already remembered that this person was their landlord. At that time, he often mocked and insulted Lin Shuang and Fatty because they couldn't afford the rent.
Words such as useless bums, dregs of the society, scums were often said.
Fatty hated this landlord to death. It was because he kept increasing the price that they could not pay the rent. Therefore, when they earned money and left this place, Fatty even humiliated the landlord ruthlessly as revenge.
"What? You actually don't know what day it is today?" The man raised his voice and pointed at Lin Shuang.
At this moment, Fatty also woke up. He walked over with sleepy eyes. When he saw that it was the landlord, he immediately lost his sleepiness.
"Lin Shuang, you guys owe me three months of rent. Let me tell you, if you can't pay the rent today, don't stay. Pack your things and get lost!"
With his hands on his waist, he shouted so loudly that the entire corridor could hear him. He wanted everyone in the neighborhood to listen to him and know that Lin Shuang couldn't afford the rent. He wanted to embarrass them in this way.
Fatty clenched his fists. At this moment, he really wanted to rush up and beat up this sarcastic fellow. But he knew he couldn't, because if he did, then they would be chased out now.
"Did you hear that?" fr(e)ewebnovel
The landlord felt much better after cursing. Indeed, it was a good choice to scold the tenant when he was in a bad mood. He turned around and left, preparing to have his morning tea.
"Wait!" Lin Shuang stopped him.
"What? Don't give me so much bullshit. I only have one thing to say. If you can't pay the rent, get lost immediately." The landlord turned around arrogantly.
Lin Shuang's tone was cold as she asked, "How much is the rent for three months?"
"800 a month. 2,400 for three months."
"Turn on your phone. I'll pay now." Lin Shuang said to him.
"Oh?" The landlord was a little surprised. He had long known that Lin Shuang and Fatty had already resigned. They had no income at all, so how could they have the money to pay the rent? He still took out his phone and opened the payment code.
Lin Shuang scanned the QR code with his phone and quickly transferred the money over. However, he transferred 9,600 yuan over.
"This is 9,600! I'll pay for a year." Lin Shuang said coldly.
The landlord looked at Lin Shuang in surprise. He didn't expect Lin Shuang to be able to pay the rent for a year. He had long planned to chase these two annoying young people. He had already contacted a renter and raised the price to a thousand. That person would come to see the house tomorrow. He was here today to give Lin Shuang an ultimatum. He knew that Lin Shuang and Fatty would definitely not be able to pay the rent. However, not only had Lin Shuang paid, but he had also paid for an entire year.
"You… this…" The landlord was momentarily at a loss.
"Are you done? If you're done, don't disturb our sleep!" Lin Shuang glanced coldly at the landlord.
Bang! The door was slammed shut, leaving the landlord standing outside in a daze.
SQUEAK! The door opened again. It was Fatty. He glared fiercely at the landlord as a trash bag was thrown out.
"Aiya!" The landlord barked and jumped away.
"Hehe, Mr. Landlord, I'm sorry, I didn't see you." Fatty smirked and slammed the door shut again.
"Damn it! You brat!" The landlord's face was red with anger. "We'll see!"
With that, he cursed and went downstairs.
