378: Chapter 378: Boiling Over 378: Chapter 378: Boiling Over He hurriedly took out his phone and snapped a photo of Lin Zinuo, then posted the picture to the loving community group.

“Holy shit, the sky is falling, the landlord actually brought a girl home!”

“My god, really?

When did the landlord wise up?”

“What does she look like, is she pretty?”

“Well, there goes my granddaughter’s chance.”

“Come on, Aunt Wang, with your granddaughter’s looks, it would be strange if the landlord liked her!”

….

Whoosh~

The whole group exploded in an instant, the screen refreshing like the system, the entire old district was in uproar.

Lin Zinuo went downstairs and out of the old building, looking left and right, searching for a breakfast joint.

All around, elderly men and women were wandering.

Whoosh whoosh~

All eyes were thrown her way.

It made Lin Zinuo feel puzzled inside, wondering what the hell was going on, why were these people all staring at her?

Could it be they shun strangers, because she was a new face?

Forget it, never mind all that.

Lin Zinuo spotted a steamed bun shop and walked over.

“Give me five meat buns, and two bags of soy milk.”

“Huh?”

The auntie at the bun shop stared blankly at Lin Zinuo before coming to her senses.

“I want five meat buns, and two bags of soy milk.”

Lin Zinuo was also baffled, wondering if her voice was too soft, or was she not understood?

“Okay, okay, I’ll pack them up right now.”

The aunt quickly packed them up for Lin Zinuo and then handed them over.

“How much?”

Lin Zinuo took the buns and soy milk and asked.

“No money, no money.”

The aunt responded with a happy laugh.

“Ah, how can there be no charge?

How much is it?”

Lin Zinuo was puzzled by the aunt’s words, what was the situation?

Getting things for free?

“Really, no need.

Aren’t you Su Mo’s friend?”

“Yes, you are?”

Lin Zinuo immediately snapped back to reality.

With confirmation, the aunt became even more excited and after sizing up Lin Zinuo said, “You are really pretty, no need to pay, just go.”

While speaking, she even pushed Lin Zinuo to leave.

Lin Zinuo came out looking utterly bewildered.

She turned around and went into a convenience store next door, and spoke up, “Boss, give me two bottles of soda.”

“Okay.”

A man enthusiastically served her.

“How much?”

“Why pay any money?

It’s free.”

“That can’t be right.”

“Oh please, really no money needed.

Do you want anything else?

Just say it, I’ll get it for you…”

As the man spoke, he didn’t forget to stuff some of the pricier drinks into the bag.

“No need, really, no need.”

“What do you mean, no need?

You’re the landlord’s friend, which makes you our friend….”

Lin Zinuo was dumbfounded, never having encountered such enthusiastic behavior before…

Inside the house, Su Mo yawned as he got out of bed and called out in the room.

“Lin Zinuo.”

But there was no response in the house for a long while; Su Mo was also puzzled.

“She can’t still be sleeping, can she?”

Thinking this, Su Mo walked to the door of the second bedroom and found that the door was open and the room was empty.

“Strange, where is she so early?”

Thump thump!

The door made a sound at that moment.

Su Mo walked over to open the door and saw Lin Zinuo standing at the doorway with a bunch of items, including breakfast, beverages, and fruits.

“Why did you go out to buy things so early?

And you bought so much, you didn’t have to be so polite.”

Su Mo replied in surprise.

Lin Zinuo walked in with the items, staring at Su Mo with a solemn face that made Su Mo feel a bit uneasy inside.

“Why are you looking at me like that?

What happened?”

Su Mo had a serious face too.

“Su Mo, be honest with me, are you hiding something from me?

Why are all the people outside so polite to you, and I didn’t even have to pay for my purchases?”

Lin Zinuo looked at Su Mo with a suspicious expression.

“Well, these are all neighbors, and we have a good relationship.”

“Then why do some of them call you ‘landlord’?”

Lin Zinuo looked incredulous, thinking that it was fine for one or two to have a good relationship, but wherever she went, everyone was overly enthusiastic, sending chills down her spine.

“Cough cough, actually I have some spare houses, so I rented them out to them.”

“That still doesn’t warrant such enthusiasm.”

Lin Zinuo felt increasingly suspicious.

Su Mo took a deep breath, thinking that as things had come to this, he no longer planned to keep it from Lin Zinuo, and spoke very seriously.

“Actually, they are all my tenants; I charge very low rent, so they are very enthusiastic towards you.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Zinuo looked incredulous, “You are their landlord, how many apartments do you have to own?

One, two, three…”

She counted on her fingers, recalling people enthusiastically giving her things along the way, becoming more and more amazed.

“You must own dozens of apartments.”

Su Mo coughed and reluctantly said, “It’s not dozens of apartments, all the houses in the entire old city district are mine.”

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Lin Zinuo felt as if struck by thunder, her brain buzzing.

She looked at Su Mo in disbelief and stammered.

“You—you’re not joking, are you?”

“I’m not joking,”

Su Mo replied gravely.

“Then, then you must be richer than Sister Xue.”

Lin Zinuo felt her worldview crumbling, as she had always been worried that Su Mo would end up destitute.

Yet, this guy turned out to be a hidden tycoon.

Despite this area being the old city district of Demon City, the land prices were in no way inferior to those in Imperial City.

All this area, how much money that would be!

“Can’t say that for sure, but it should be close enough.”

Su Mo humbly said, not daring to admit that he was actually richer than Qian Chengxue’s dad.

These properties were nothing, his real wealth lay in the gold points and silver points in his hands, the true assets capable of rivaling a nation.

Lin Zinuo suddenly felt insanely annoyed and thumped Su Mo hard in the chest.

“With all this money, and you still deceived me, making me worry unnecessarily.”

“When did I deceive you?”

Su Mo was both crying and laughing.

“You deceived me about everything, you’re simply a scammer.”

Lin Zinuo was so annoyed she felt her teeth itch.

The crucial point was she couldn’t find a way to retaliate against Su Mo.

It seemed from the beginning he had never said he was rich or poor, but just thinking about how Su Mo hadn’t revealed his wealth, making her dance around like a clown before him, enraged her immensely.

“I really didn’t deceive you; I can’t just randomly tell people how rich I am.”

“Hmph, forget about the hundred thousand you lent me; don’t expect me to ever pay you back.”

Lin Zinuo retorted, embarrassed and annoyed.

“I never intended for you to pay it back…”

Su Mo replied nonchalantly.

Lin Zinuo took several deep breaths to settle her shocked emotions, then asked, “Since you’re so rich, what trouble could you possibly encounter?

Why such a rush to resign and come back?”

“It’s about the demolition; this whole area is going to be torn down to build an interstellar airport.”

Su Mo replied with a bit of a headache.

“Oh, so they’re going to build an interstellar airport here.”

Lin Zinuo said, somewhat surprised.

“You knew about this?”

Su Mo asked curiously.

“I also only found out recently; our country is planning to build five interstellar airports, one in Imperial City, and currently, Imperial City is also undergoing demolition.

It’s really tough to demolish there, and it’s almost driving people mad.

Wait, if all this property is yours, then you’ll receive a huge amount of compensation when they demolish it.”

Lin Zinuo snapped back to reality and looked at Su Mo with a different gaze, feeling like he radiated the scent of money from every pore.

Su Mo coughed and said, “Nothing’s been finalized yet, but it should be concluded soon.

Money is no big deal, I don’t care much about it.”

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Lin Zinuo reflexively frowned and reminded him.

“Su Mo, don’t mess this up, this is a vast amount of money; you can’t just flippantly dismiss it, you need to think about your future!”
