Chapter 120 Situ's Home
Jun Lan: "You should tell me about your business!"
Situ: "Can you tell that I'm worried?"
Jun Lan: "Normally you would go over and play with them. Why are you so kind to come over and babysit with me today? You must have something to ask of me."
Situ: "I never thought that although you usually look dumb, you actually have a clearer mind than anyone else."
Jun Lan: "Well, the saying 'great wisdom appears foolish' refers to people like me. Tell me quickly, if my own people can help, we will definitely help."
Situ: "Alas, it seems that nothing can be hidden from Madam Yang's discerning eyes! The property management office of my previous house has been calling me frequently lately to bother me, so I want to sell the house I used to live in. Can you help me with this?"
Jun Lan: "Okay, is it the room you and your ex-wife lived in?"
Situ: "Yes, I haven't taken care of it in a long time. I guess it's leaking or something. Anyway, they've been calling me every day lately to harass me. I might as well just sell it and put an end to it."
Jun Lan: "That was once your and your wife's love nest. Are you really willing to sell such a place full of memories?"
Situ: "It's indeed filled with bits and pieces of memories of Siyi and me, but it's also a place of sorrow for me. Haven't you noticed? I haven't lived there since her accident, only occasionally to reminisce. Last time, Xu Lin reminded me that we can't always dwell on the past. The most important thing is the future, right? She can start over, so why can't I?"
Jun Lan: "It's rare that you've come to your senses. As your friend, of course I support you. Just leave this matter to me. However, your house is a veritable haunted house because someone has died there, so it probably won't fetch a good price."
Situ: "It doesn't matter how much money it is. It's just that Siyi loved that house when she was alive. You just need to find an owner who can take good care of it."
Jun Lan: "Leave this to me!"
Situ handed the key to Junlan and said, "Here are the keys. The address is Room 2501, Building A, Binhai Garden, Binjiang Road."
Jun Lan: "I see. Let's talk about selling the house later. Your house has been unattended for so long. I'll go up and see what's going on first."
Situ nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."
Junlan put away the key, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.
The next morning, Junlan settled her children and took a taxi to the address given by Situ.
She went up to the 25th floor and opened room 2501 with her key.
It is about 200 square meters in size. Although it looks dilapidated and has not been taken care of for a long time, and the surrounding furniture is covered with dust and has lost its original color, all this cannot conceal the original owner's elegant taste and pursuit of high-quality life.
She came to the bathroom and said to the bathtub that was already covered in dust, "You two were originally a perfect match. Why are you so stubborn that you want to leave Situ?"
When she turned around, she was frightened by a girl holding a doll behind her.
Jun Lan looked around and then took it down: "Where are you from, little friend? Where are your parents?"
Girl: "I live next door. I saw your door was unlocked, so I opened it and came in. Did you just move in?"
Jun Lan: "No, I'm a friend of the owner here. I just came here to help him clean the house."
Little girl: "You'd better leave quickly. Mom said it's unlucky because someone died in this house."
Jun Lan: "Ah?" She wanted to continue talking when she heard someone's voice outside the door: "Xiao Mei, Xiao Mei, where have you been, you little bitch?"
The little girl looked towards the gate and said, "My mother is here to see me. Goodbye, auntie." After that, she ran out, and Jun Lan followed her out to see what happened.
In the hallway, a middle-aged woman was scolding the little girl: "I told you not to run around, but you didn't listen. You went to that house to play again."
At this time, the little girl turned her head to look at Junlan, and the woman was so scared when she saw Junlan walking out of the room that her face turned blue.
"Who are you? What are you doing in this room?" she stammered.
"I'm a friend of Mr. Situ, the owner of this house. He said the management office has been calling him a lot lately, so he sent me to see what's going on."
"So that's how it is. Then I'll go get someone from the management office to come up."
At this time, the staff of the management office hurried over.
Management Office Staff: "Finally you are here to manage this house."
Jun Lan: "What's wrong? I just checked in and didn't see anything wrong."
Management staff: "No problem? It's a big problem. The residents downstairs often complain that your upstairs bathroom is leaking and that there's a bad smell coming into their homes."
Middle-aged woman: "I sometimes smell a strange odor coming from that room."
Manager: "Look, I didn't wrong you, did I?"
Jun Lan: "Then how about this, now that everyone is here, go and invite the residents downstairs over, and we'll go in together to see if there's anything that needs to be addressed, and then we can solve it all at once."
The people from the management office invited the people downstairs to come up.
Downstairs neighbor: "You are such a scoundrel! I've told you about the water leak several times, but you just keep dragging your feet. Don't you know how much this affects us downstairs?"
Jun Lan: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Situ has been too busy lately, so he hasn't had time to come over to deal with it. Look, I'm here. Let's go in and see if there's anything we need to deal with. What's your name?"
Neighbor downstairs: "My last name is Zhou. Actually, we don't really want to go in there, after all, that happened there."
Jun Lan: "Mr. Zhou, if you want to solve the problem, the best way is to first see where the problem lies. If you don't even dare to do this, we don't know where to start solving the problem."
Neighbor Mr. Zhou thought this made sense, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the bathroom accompanied by the manager.
Jun Lan: "Look, the surroundings are dry. The dust can't be deceiving. Besides, no one has lived in this house for almost ten years. No one uses water, so how could it leak?"
Mr. Zhou: "That's strange, but there is indeed a leak in the bathroom of my house. If you don't believe me, ask the management."
The manager said, "That's nothing strange. Ninety percent of the time, the underground pipes in your bathroom are leaking because they've been in disrepair for a long time. Since you don't use the water, the water hasn't seeped into your house, but has slowly flowed downstairs. In this case, if you remove the bricks here, you'll definitely see a large water stain."
Jun Lan: "I see. Okay, I'll ask a decorator to come over and take a look tomorrow. What's going on with that strange smell?"
Manager: "That's easier to deal with. Usually it's because your house is not well ventilated. When the weather is humid, the musty and smelly odors flow into their house through the floor drain. They just need to seal the floor drain and everything will be fine."
Mr. Zhou: “So that’s how it is.”
Jun Lan: "I'm so sorry. It's really wrong of us to cause you so much trouble. I will definitely deal with these problems as soon as possible."
