Of course she knew that Xue Yu was no good person, and that he wasn't pursuing her because he liked her. At her age, what was the point of talking about love?

"I give him the money he wants, and he gives me what I want. Isn't that great?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yan knew that the proprietress understood, and nodded, "You're right."

"What about you? Haven't you thought about finding someone? Anyway, we have plenty of money, so wouldn't it be great to just find someone to make us happy?"

"I prefer to go out and have fun, to travel, it's great."

Mo Yan looked at Xue Yu. Although he got the money he wanted, he wasn't living a very good life.

To gain something, you have to lose something else, such as your self-esteem and face.

The landlady isn't like Luo Dan, who can just do whatever she says. With the landlady, whatever she says goes. If she wants Xue Yu to sing, he has to sing obediently. If she wants him to make tea, he has to make tea obediently. In short, don't even think about getting everything without doing anything.

Xue Yu also saw Mo Yan, and he was very worried that his purpose would be discovered.

The proprietress came to his side and looked at him. "What are you worried about? Are you afraid that Mo Yan will tell me you have ulterior motives, or are you afraid that she will tell me about how you almost married her daughter?"

The proprietress has never been one to hold back; she always speaks her mind directly, just like now, directly revealing what Xue Yu had been trying to hide all along.

"No, listen to me!" Xue Yu looked at the proprietress with deep affection, just as he was thinking about how to explain, the proprietress interrupted him.

"You don't need to say anything, and you don't need to worry about anything."

Let me put it this way: I'm not curious at all why you came into my life. I don't believe in any of that so-called love and romance. I think feelings are cheap and easily changeable, so I don't need them at all.

Let's put it this way, it's a mutually beneficial arrangement. You want money from me, and I want to make you happy. You'll do whatever I ask, and if you can do that, I can give you whatever you want. Isn't that great?"

The proprietress made it very clear: if you want money, then you have to be obedient. As long as you are obedient, you will naturally get bread.

Xue Yu hadn't expected his scheme to be seen through so clearly. "Then will you marry me?"

Will you let him transfer his household registration here?

"I'm sorry, I don't know where we heard about the demolition. We just found out. But that's not important now. Don't you know that once the announcement is made, all household registrations cannot be moved?"

Xue Yu: "!!!!"

Of course he knew, but how could it be so fast?

It wasn't the time he imagined; the report he saw back then wasn't written like that.

"You seem a little surprised, but it doesn't matter. Even if you can move in, do you think I'd let you bring it in?"

Xue Yu: "???"

Xue Yu's expression changed, becoming somewhat unpleasant. What did this mean?

"What do you mean? Aren't you with me with marriage in mind?"

This fact made Xue Yu very unhappy. He had been trying to please this old woman and cater to all her preferences for the past few days. Was she now trying to tell him that all of this had been in vain?

"Young man, what kind of pipe dream are you having?"

Why should I marry you?

I have everything, why should I be bound by a marriage?

Why should I give everything I have to someone I just met?

"I can allow you to want money, but how much I give you depends on how happy I am, understand?"

How much she gives depends on her mood; consider it a tip. But if he's too heartless...

"You should know that there are plenty of young men like you. I can easily find several. If you're willing, we can continue. You can live with me and get a job."

If I'm happy for a month, I'll give you ten or twenty thousand; if I'm not happy, you can get lost.

If you can accept it, then stay; otherwise, the door is on the other side.

The landlady isn't dependent on him; there are plenty of young, handsome men out there. She just wants someone sensible who won't cry and whine about wanting affection all the time.

What kind of feelings are these? It's just a matter of each person getting what they want.

The proprietress has a daughter of her own, and everything in the future will naturally go to her daughter. Of course, she also wants to live a happy life.

Now everything about Xue Yu was laid bare in the open.

To put it simply, he lost all face and dignity; his self-respect was utterly trampled on.

He felt incredibly sad. He turned and walked away with a dark expression, not forgetting to say, "I just wanted a genuine relationship, but I never expected you to see me like this."

The proprietress had seen this kind of trick many times and didn't care at all; she could replace the person at any time.

Xue Yu walked out step by step, but when he reached the door, he was unwilling to give up and rushed back. "Tell me, were you deceived by that person just now?"

I'm telling you, I did date her daughter, but we broke up. Don't listen to her nonsense.
