"Sister, are you making fun of me?"

Shen Yanxin's pretty face flushed slightly.

Wen Chenlu glanced at the contract, but Shen Yanxin didn't believe it was just a casual remark.

"You're overthinking it."

Wen Chenlu took a sip of hot coconut milk from her cup, but subtly looked away.

Seeing this, Shen Yanxin became even more determined.

She's making fun of herself!

"snort……"

Shen Yanxin sullenly hummed, then crumpled the empty paper cup into a ball.

Okay, she admits it.

It's really stupid to rent a house without signing a contract and then get scammed.

That's incredibly stupid.

...

Jiang City, Lishi Quyuan.

Xia Che pushed Jiang Yu in a stroller in the park of the neighborhood. The two walked at a leisurely pace, enjoying the cool breeze.

Jiang Yu is very pretty, and she has changed into a white floral dress, which is rare for her. She rarely wears her own clothes and usually wears her school uniform because she doesn't have much spare money to buy new clothes, but today is different.

Although Xia Che's appearance was somewhat unsightly, pushing a beautiful girl in a wheelchair around the park, he had already attracted the attention of countless passersby, but he never cared about such things because of his thick skin.

"You mean... although the process was a bit bumpy, the demolition compensation has been finalized. You don't need to do anything else; it will be transferred to you in a while?"

Xia Che listened to the whole story and seemed to be deep in thought.

Like Jiang Yu, he also felt a bit regretful.

If he had known he would run into Li Junyang, he would have gone with Jiang Yu.

Xia Che had a vague feeling that it might not be a good thing for Jiang Yu to have come into contact with such a scumbag who would climb up the ladder if he had one, and even create one if he didn't.

This time he was determined that Li Junyang, that beast, would not get any of the five female characters in the comic.

Xia Che vowed to mess everything up for him!

"Yes, that's what that person named Li Junyang said."

Jiang Yu looked at the beautiful surroundings before her, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Is this what the residential area is like?

It's quite heartbreaking to say, but Jiang Yu has never lived in an apartment building in her entire life.

Jiang Yu grew up in an urban village as far back as she can remember. She could only learn about apartment buildings from television, books, and her classmates' casual conversations after class.

If given a choice, who wouldn't want to live in a clean and bright apartment building?

after……

I can live here by myself.

Jiang Yu clenched her small hands nervously. She wasn't stupid; she naturally understood the meaning behind Xia Che bringing her here.

It's called a visit, but actually it's probably just to let her get used to the environment beforehand so that we can move in.

Although Jiang Yu had never lived in an apartment building before, she knew that apartments in good locations were more expensive, and Lishi Quyuan was a well-known luxury apartment complex in Jiang City. Even if she rented there, the rent would probably be quite high...

"I don't even know how long my demolition compensation will last me in renting..."

Jiang Yu had little concept of money, and if others heard her thoughts at this moment, they would probably be shocked to death.

It's one thing for a resident who has been relocated to a demolition site not to buy a house, but to worry about whether the compensation will be enough to cover rent.

This is absurd...

"I see. So what's your impression of Li Junyang?"

Xia Che asked casually, "As far as I know, his grades are very good. Based on your current grades, we will likely be assigned to the same class after the test, which means... we might be classmates."

This is also what Xia Che is most worried about.

The two weren't in the same class, but Li Junyang never stopped causing trouble, always pulling some kind of stunt every now and then. If they really became classmates, who knows what he would do next?

Therefore, it is necessary to understand Jiang Yu's attitude towards Li Junyang.

Xia Che wanted to see what the girl who lost herself for Li Junyang in the original story would think of Li Junyang now.

"nausea."

Jiang Yu frowned slightly and uttered two words without hesitation.

"...Huh?"

Xia Che was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Yu's answer was beyond his expectations. According to Xia Che's speculation, even if he only regarded Li Junyang as a stranger, he had helped Jiang Yu after all, and they were classmates in the same high school, so his attitude should not be too bad.

Xia Che was still racking her brains, wondering how to warn Jiang Yu not to fall for the trick if it was really as she thought... But the evaluation she heard instantly made all the prepared remarks disappear.

"It's disgusting, no doubt. He's clearly a dark-hearted person, yet he insists on pretending to be sunny and harmless... I don't believe his secretary would dare to go against him. If this person is blocking my paperwork, then it must be Li Junyang's doing. Otherwise, how could a working-class person have the guts to go against the boss's son?"

"He did the bad thing, but he won't take the blame. Instead, he makes his subordinates play the good cop. Why is he playing the good guy? Isn't he just after me? There's something else I forgot to tell you. Li Junyang came to see me a few days ago. Before you came, he came up in the middle of the night and tried to get close to me. Luckily, I was prepared and ignored him. In conclusion, can someone like that be a good person?"

"We're all seasoned foxes, why are we playing these ghost stories? Don't forget the kind of environment I grew up in. Some people's badness is on full display, but some people are even worse than bad people; their badness is hidden deep in their hearts. These kinds of people might be able to fool others, like those innocent young girls, but they can never fool me, because I've seen far too many of these kinds of people over the years."

Jiang Yu seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, spitting and making noises incessantly, as if just mentioning the name Li Junyang made her feel dirty.

Xia Che: ……

He was stunned.

Is this still the gentle and introverted Jiang Yu I know?

Look at how they're going all out! Their aggressiveness is so extreme that anyone who didn't know better would think they came from a forum. It really gave me a fright!

But it's something I should say but can't...

Jiang Yu's scolding was indeed very satisfying, making Xia Che feel as refreshed as if he had taken a big gulp of ice cream on a hot summer day, from head to toe.

"Hmph... Hmph."

Jiang Yu, still furious, rolled her eyes.

This impassioned speech finally allowed Jiang Yu to express her true feelings.

I've been keeping it all inside for so long, but I haven't had a suitable person to confide in.

She was so bored...

"...Impressive, you can see through him so clearly."

Xia Che stared blankly at Jiang Yu, blinked, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. A feeling of being in another world suddenly rose in his heart.

Has that pitiful girl in the original story, who was alone and helpless and eventually fell into the sweet trap woven by the scumbag, actually grown into what she is now without realizing it?
