Chapter 133: Chapter 132: Casting the Net to Catch Fish (1 update)

Xu Niannian had a look of regret in her eyes as she refused.

Jin Yu, who was good at observing, naturally noticed this and thought about her obsession with money. He coughed and threw out a bait, "It seems you have to find another place to live, but I wonder if you have enough money to go through all that trouble."

Mr. Jin had started casting his net.

Upon hearing his words, Xu Niannian nonchalantly waved her hand, "It’s precisely because I don’t have enough that I want to find a smaller place to save some rent."

"Did I ever say I was going to charge you rent?"

His deep and magnetic voice brushed past her ear, and Xu Niannian blinked in astonishment, her thick eyelashes fluttering a few times.

"You mean... ah, you’re not going to charge me rent!"

Her emotions fluctuated dramatically as she spoke, changing from initial confusion to final shock.

My god, for such a big and nice house, Jin Yu was actually not going to charge her any rent?

Was she hallucinating?

Jin Yu was supposed to be the despised miser who would jack up the price, wasn’t he?

And yet, he was not asking for money.

Surprised, Xu Niannian’s entire face became animated. Her thick eyelashes kept flickering as her eyelids blinked up and down, and her big watery eyes shone with clear light, her cheeks puffing up.

Her shocked expression was so adorable that just one glance made Jin Yu’s throat harden.

His slender finger landed on the third button of his shirt, gently unfastening it.

With the third button undone, his smooth pectoral muscles became visible, bulging with a firm tension that made it clear at a glance how powerful they were.

Jin Yu felt a bit hot, his voice turning deeper and huskier, "Give me half of your income, I’ll teach you self-defense techniques, and the house is free for you to live in, no need to worry about rent."

Xu Niannian was still surprised at Jin Yu’s sudden affability, which did not fit his usual style of doing things.

The very next second, Jin Yu said just that.

Hearing him mention the matter of income, Xu Niannian immediately realized that he must have felt just teaching self-defense in exchange for half her income was taking advantage of her.

So, was this considered a bonus benefit?

After all is said and done, he’s still worried that she won’t make enough money and that would mean less for him.

Knowing the reason for his sudden niceness, Xu Niannian immediately calmed down and felt justified. If she worked hard, the money she made in a month would not only cover half, but even one-tenth would be more than enough to pay a year’s rent.

"Alright then, since that’s the case, let’s just live here, although this place is indeed a bit too big." Xu Niannian muttered the last part to herself.

But this was good too, as it would be convenient to bring her family over to live once she had settled down in the county.

Having successfully set the trap for the fish, Jin Yu rarely showed a hint of a smile, "Whenever you move in, I’ll come help you."

"No, no need, I can find someone," Xu Niannian hurriedly waved her hand to decline.

Indeed, the ancients did not deceive me, with money one can make the devil turn the millstone.

To get the money, Jin Yu’s attitude was a world apart from before.

After checking out the house, Xu Niannian went back to see Xu Zhiqiang and stayed with him in the hospital room for two hours before going back with Jin Yu.

In a few more days, Xu Zhiqiang would be discharged from the hospital.

According to Jin Yu, he could help her settle the shop’s affairs by tomorrow.

Xu Niannian couldn’t help but marvel at how eager he was for her to start making money—and how tirelessly he was helping her. He must be in dire need of it.

Is he really poor? This thought crossed her mind, and Xu Niannian involuntarily blurted out the question, "Are you really that poor?"
