Chapter 2257 Renting a House (Part 3)
After hearing what Xu Ankang said, Lu Xiaoxiao realized that she had misunderstood Xu Ankang, so she said to Xu Ankang: "Grandpa Xu, I misunderstood you just now. I'm sorry."
"There's nothing to apologize for. I don't care what others think of me. If I still care so much at my age, then the first few decades of my life would have been wasted."
"Grandpa Xu is very open-minded."
"Hahaha... I like to hear that, but I would be even happier if you said I'm good-looking."
After hearing what Xu Ankang said, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Ankang's face. She really couldn't say that Xu Ankang was good-looking against her conscience, so she looked at Chen Zhenzhen for help.
After Chen Zhenzhen received Lu Xiaoxiao's look for help, she immediately said to Xu Ankang: "Uncle Xu, I came to see you today because of something."
"I know, otherwise you wouldn't come to my house. Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I heard some time ago that Uncle Xu wanted to rent out the house in the tube building, so today I came to Uncle Xu's house to ask if the house has been rented out."
"Not yet, but my house is not for rent to just anyone. You know I value appearance the most. If someone doesn't like it, I won't rent it no matter how much money they offer."
"I know, so I brought the person who rented the house with me."
"Who? Don't tell me the person renting the house is a girl."
"No, it's the person behind Xiaoxiao."
It was only after Xu Ankang heard Chen Zhenzhen's words that he noticed that there was a person standing behind Lu Xiaoxiao. If Chen Zhenzhen hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have noticed that such a person had come to his house until the other person left.
It’s not that there’s something wrong with his eyes, but that Liu Biao has too little presence and is easily overlooked.
"Uncle Xu, how is it? Can the house be rented to him?" Chen Zhenzhen asked after Xu Ankang looked at Liu Biao for a while.
After hearing what Chen Zhenzhen said, Xu Ankang ignored Chen Zhenzhen and asked Liu Biao, "What's your name?"
"Liu Biao."
"What a fierce name. What is your relationship with the girl?"
"friend."
"to be honest."
Liu Biao felt a little panicked after hearing Xu Ankang's words. He didn't expect Xu Ankang to be so powerful and immediately saw through that he was not telling the truth, so he looked at Lu Xiaoxiao.
When Liu Biao looked at her, Lu Xiaoxiao did not give Liu Biao any hints, because she knew that Xu Ankang had seen through the relationship between her and Liu Biao. If she gave Liu Biao some hints now, Liu Biao would probably not be able to rent a house today.
When Liu Biao saw that Lu Xiaoxiao ignored his eyes asking for help, he became even more panicked. Just when he didn't know what to do, the words Lu Xiaoxiao said to him suddenly flashed through his mind.
So he looked at Xu Ankang and said, "Master Xiao is my benefactor."
"You're a sensible boy. I'll rent the house to you." Xu Ankang said after hearing Liu Biao's words.
"Wait, I don't know the rent for the house yet, so I can't rent the house right away because I'm afraid I can't afford the rent."
After hearing what Liu Biao said, Chen Zhenzhen smiled and said to Liu Biao, "Liu Biao, don't worry. Uncle Xu's house rent is very cheap, three yuan a month, but he has a requirement that you cannot damage the house and the things inside it."
"Is the rent really only three dollars?" Liu Biao asked in disbelief.
"Yes, Uncle Xu is not short of money. He just doesn't want the house to be damaged because no one lives in it for a long time, so he rents it out."
