Chapter 132: Chapter 131: Not Worth It (2nd Update)

Thinking of how she had been choked by Jin Yu several times before, Xu Niannian instinctively shrank her neck back, her black-and-white eyes revealing timidity.

Jin Yu: "..."

Realizing that she was afraid of him, Jin Yu uncomfortably clenched his hand into a fist under his nose and coughed heavily, "Don’t worry, I won’t treat you like that."

Xu Niannian immediately felt her hair stand on end, her eyes widening more than a copper bell, with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

Was he a demon? Why could he see through everything she thought?

And even if he could see through her thoughts, why mention it?

It was simply too frightening!

With such a strong ability to discern others’ thoughts, it made people feel like they had no secrets in front of him.

Xu Niannian felt that Jin Yu was too good at guessing people’s thoughts, never considering that it was she herself who acted too naturally in front of him, without any pretense.

"Let’s go in and have a look," Jin Yu took the initiative to change the subject, pushing open the door and walking ahead.

Only then did Xu Niannian follow him inside.

After making a round inside the house, Xu Niannian realized that it was indeed not ordinarily large.

Including the courtyard, front and back, it probably was as big as the basketball court from her middle school in later life.

This seemed like an excessive use of a fine property.

Moreover, she wasn’t certain she could make money initially from opening a restaurant, even though she was confident in her cooking skills; it seemed like many residents nearby were government officials’ families.

Most of them had canteens to eat in, and there would be too few people coming to a restaurant.

She was planning to take it step by step, and her funds weren’t that ample.

The place was too big; opening it up would be strange because of the surplus space.

Most importantly, each household here had separate courtyards; opening a shop here, who would notice?

It wasn’t at all conducive to attracting customers.

Moreover, the house seemed quite substantial; it was a pity to use such a good house as a restaurant.

If it was for living, she would be quite satisfied, but there was no need for her and Xu Zhiqiang to live in such a large place by themselves.

With more than a dozen rooms combined, it would feel too empty for just two people.

As Xu Niannian was hesitating, a low, rich voice came from above her head.

"How is it? Is it okay?"

Xu Niannian looked up at him, his dark eyes were deep and boundless.

Xu Niannian hesitated for a moment.

It would be a pity not to use such a good place, and in the future, she would still have to give him half of her income. It was too much of a loss just to teach her self-defense techniques.

But opening a store here was indeed inappropriate—certainly, inappropriate for the funds she currently had. A large place meant more things to arrange.

Otherwise, customers would walk in and see emptiness everywhere, lacking any atmosphere. Most importantly, it was not easy to remodel.

If she were to use this place to open a shop, it would have to be later when her funds were more substantial, to change it into an upscale private dining club.

Without a reputation yet, she couldn’t make much money and thus didn’t dwell on these ideas.

After thinking it over, Xu Niannian ultimately declined.

"I can only start with a not-so-large storefront now, around a hundred square meters in area would be fine, this place is too big, it’s not suitable for the time being," she honestly expressed her reasons.

Catching a glimpse of her regretful expression, Jin Yu raised an eyebrow, noting the keywords she used.

Only able...

For the time being...

So, it meant she was satisfied with this place, but her current situation did not warrant it.

Jin Yu didn’t insist on it and merely said, "Then you can live here. I’ll help you with the shop matter; give me one day, that’s all I need."

"I live here?" Xu Niannian doubted she’d heard him correctly, repeatedly shaking her hands, "Forget it, this place is too big, only my brother and I will live here, there’s no need to rent such a big place for now."

The biggest concern was that she couldn’t bear the expense; such a vast place, how much would the rent be? It was too wasteful.
