13: Chapter 13 The Landlord
Staring at the business card in his hand, Lin Tian still wore a sowhat dazed expression on his face.
It was only after the old man disappeared that he ca back to his senses.
The card read—Bin City’s Minghu Lakefront District, Villa No.
18, Yu Qinghe.
Minghu Lakefront District?!
Lin Tian’s eyes narrowed, displaying a look of surprise.
What kind of place was the Minghu Lakefront District?
It was one of the most luxurious and high-end residential areas not just in Bin City, including its surrounding cities, but also outside of the mysterious Guanlan Mountain.
It ranked among the top in all of Guangnan Province’s fad districts.
To lay hands on a villa in the Minghu Lakefront District, one needed at least tens of millions; otherwise, forget it.
Furthermore, those who lived in the Minghu Lakefront District were either powerful and influential figures or the big shots from Bin City’s top Great Clans.
No matter how much money you had, you might not be able to set foot there.
The fact that he lived in the Minghu Lakefront District suggested that the old man’s identity was probably extraordinary.
Though it was only Villa No.
18, it was considered above average, and offering a starting monthly salary of one hundred thousand yuan made sense!
It seed the elder had noticed his exceptional skills.
The other party’s own strength must also be considerable, or else he wouldn’t possess such a discerning eye.
Perhaps the elder was the Martial Artist ntioned by the two security guards earlier.
Putting away the business card, Lin Tian pondered privately but didn’t imdiately decide to accept the old man’s offer.
He stepped quickly to return to his accommodation.
Lin Tian lived on the third floor; he had just climbed the stairs and reached his front door when the door opposite opened, and a delicate face peeked out.
Seeing Lin Tian, the woman’s eyes widened in anger, and she scolded him teasingly, “You little rascal, what are you staring at?
Don’t look at Sister Rong like that!”
“Sister Rong, no, not at all!”
Lin Tian touched his nose and offered an awkward smile, his eyes clearing up, and swiftly changed the subject, “Does Sister Rong need
for sothing?”
The woman in front of him appeared to be around twenty-eight or twenty-nine.
From the depths of his mory, Lin Tian recognized her as his landlady, Xi Zirong.
The several seven-to-eight-story apartnt buildings in this district were all assets belonging to Xi Zirong.
She could be described as a standard beauty with wealth.
With so many apartnts to rent out, she could live comfortably for a lifeti.
However, what puzzled Lin Tian was that Xi Zirong was at a marriageable age, yet still single, living mostly alone without having been seen with family or a husband, let alone spending ti with other n.
While Lin Tian had his curiosities, he never probed into it.
Xi Zirong had helped him during his most difficult tis.
When he first ca to rent a place, she waived the rent for three months.
Now, reflecting on it, he felt deeply grateful.
He regarded her as an elder sister in his heart, and she too always treated him like a younger brother, taking care of him in daily life.
“Where have you been these past few days?
You’ve been out of sight.”
Xi Zirong examined Lin Tian from head to toe, scrutinizing him with her inquiry.
“Oh, I went back ho for a few days…”
Facing Xi Zirong’s concerned and scrutinizing gaze, Lin Tian felt a bit guilty and could only respond perfunctorily.
Seeing Lin Tian’s evasive deanor, Xi Zirong obviously didn’t believe him, but she didn’t press further and instead said,
“I’ve bought quite a lot of groceries.
Hurry over and help .
Wash the vegetables, and then I’ll do the cooking myself.
You’re in for a real treat today!”
Lin Tian wanted to say he had just eaten, but Xi Zirong didn’t give him the chance to speak.
She pulled him into her house, leaving him with no choice but to follow.
“Okay, you go wash the vegetables, and I’ll freshen up a bit.
After that, let’s prepare a fabulous al together!”
Xi Zirong patted Lin Tian’s head out of habit and smiled as she walked towards her room.
Visiting Xi Zirong’s ho for a al wasn’t a first for Lin Tian.
Previously, when he was impoverished and ate modestly, Xi Zirong took notice and often invited him over for als.
Thus, he was now quite familiar with the way to the kitchen.
Xi Zirong had purchased a lot of groceries; items such as hairy crabs and giant lobsters were piled together.
In his past life, he was a high-ranking Immortal Venerable, but Lin Tian was not one who avoided the delicacies of the mortal world, nor was he ignorant of everyday grains.
Having reached such a level of cultivation, what hadn’t he experienced?
Thus, for Lin Tian, washing vegetables could be considered a walk in the park.
However.
The layout of the kitchen and bathroom in Xi Zirong’s house is just facing each other.
When Lin Tian is washing vegetables in the kitchen, he can hear the sound of water splashing from the bathroom, which makes him feel excited.
What’s more terrible is that the bathroom in Xi Zirong’s house is separated by patterned glass, and the bathroom door is a glass door.
When you look up, you can see Xi Zirong’s looming body, which makes people imagine.
For a while, Lin Tian’s heartbeat quickened and his mouth was dry.
After all, he was a young man with strong blood.
No matter how good his character was, how could he suppress it all the ti.
“Lin Tian, ????that…
help my sister…”
Suddenly, Xi Zirong’s voice ca from the bathroom, with a hint of hesitation.
Lin Tian, ????who was looking at the glass door in a daze, was startled and hurriedly said: “Ah~~ Sister Rong, how can I help you?”
Hearing Lin Tian’s answer, Xi Zirong in the bathroom beca quiet, as if struggling, and continued for a long ti: “Well…
Sister forgot to bring a change of underwear, can you help
get a set of white underwear from the room…”
At the end, Xi Zirong’s voice was as thin as a mosquito’s voice, inaudible, but Lin Tian really heard it.
“Hey, Sister Rong, wait a mont…”
Lin Tian coughed dryly to cover up his embarrassnt and walked towards Xi Zirong’s room, but he stopped halfway and blurted out: “Sister Rong, do you want white lace underwear?”
As soon as he said this, Lin Tian regretted it and wanted to slap himself.
Xi Zirong in the bathroom fell into silence again for a while.
“You, you can do it…”
After a long ti, Xi Zirong’s sowhat flustered voice ca from the bathroom.
Lin Tian was extrely embarrassed and ran into Xi Zirong’s boudoir as if he was escaping from his fate.
