Chapter 6: The Landlord Appears
I actually forgot to add WeChat!
Chiba immediately stopped, took out his mobile phone and opened WeChat. "Well, that's it." Pointing to the other person's avatar and saying.
Song Yingchen took a closer look, and the name of the avatar did indeed have the word "bell" written on it, and immediately frowned. However, he still denied it, and then his eyes rolled and he came up with an idea: "You contact and pretend you don't know anything." ”
"What do I say?"
"Just say...... The key locks the house, see how she reacts. ”
This is indeed a method, she immediately sent a voice message to this Lu Meiling who didn't know whether it was true or not.
"Hello, I'm Xiao Yang who rents 1101, I'm sorry, I locked the key in the house, do you have a spare there?"
Lu Meiling quickly replied and sent a text: "Yes, where are you, I'll send it right away." ”
"Right outside the door."
"Okay, twenty minutes."
The other party answered so briskly, both of them were a little surprised.
"You said this person is not your aunt, how can you have the key to your house?" She stared at Song Yingchen, who opened her mouth wide in shock, and asked.
"It's weird, my aunt is really dead, who is this person?"
She thought to herself, "Who the hell is lying?" If it was him, he had been together for hours, what should have been exposed, how could he still go out to eat with me? What about this dead Lu Meiling, she said she had the key, where did she get the key? ”
Thinking about it, she decided to try Song Yingchen again, so she turned her head and asked, "What is the room at the end of the aisle for?" ”
"What's wrong with my room?"
"It's locked, only the room is locked." She seemed to have found a clue, and then remembered a certain detail, "She glanced there as she left, as if she had something to say." ”
"It's locked, why locked? Since the whole house is rented to you, why do you lock my room alone, and there is nothing of value. ”
"Let's go back and have a look before she comes."
"Let's go!" Song Yingchen agreed to the proposal, grabbed her arm and ran forward.
The two ran all the way, and Song Yingchen's long legs were like bamboo poles on stilts, almost flying her like a kite. The late spring and early summer evening breeze tickled her hair, and she had never been dragged by a boy like this, thinking that she would resist, but she had no intention of resisting at all.
After a while, the two of them returned to 1101 and stood in front of the bedroom.
"Bring it." She held out her hand.
"What?"
"The key."
"I don't have a key, I had a bunch and I lost it in the United States."
She looked at him distrustfully.
Suspected again, Song Yingchen was obviously anxious. "Otherwise, if I knock on the door, just come in."
"Better not lie to me."
"There's a Grandma Wang next door, why don't you ask her to see if Lu Meiqin's son is called Song Yingchen."
Thinking that there was indeed an elegant and strange old lady next door, she dispelled her doubts again.
"Forget it, your aunt will come later to know who is real and who is fake."
"She's not my aunt, my aunt is really dead, I vouch for it with my personality!"
"Xingxingxing died early, so what now?"
Song Yingchen stretched his arms and turned his wrists and ankles again. "Stand out of the way, I'll knock the door open."
"Not good."
"What's so bad about your own house."
"......"
Before she finished speaking, Song Yingchen pushed her away, and the whole person slammed towards the door like a cannonball.
"Bang!"
The strength is very great, but the sturdiness of the solid wood door is not foolish, and it does not move at all.
He rubbed the muscles of his right arm, looking slightly uncomfortable, but quickly took another deep breath and slammed it again.
This time he was almost bounced up by the door, but the door still didn't open, and just as he was about to try for the third time, he was stopped by Chiba.
"Wait, I'm still a little worried. Can you tell me what is in the house, such as the shape of the lamp, the color of the curtains, the floor tiles or the floor? ”
The more she thought about it, the more furious she became, if Song Yingchen had nothing to do with this house, breaking the door would be illegal, and she wouldn't be able to get out of it.
Who knew that Song Yingchen replied clearly: "If it hasn't been changed, the ground should be covered with carpet, the lamp is a twelve-headed metal chandelier, black lacquer, and there are dark flowers in the shape of animals on the lampshade." The curtains are velvet opaque blue, by the way, there was originally a bathroom in the house, but it was changed to a cloakroom during the renovation, and there were white cabinets on three sides and four grids......"
"If you're not right, I'll call the police."
Song Yingchen thought about it and nodded firmly. "If there's a lie, do whatever you want."
She bit her lower lip and thought for a moment, then ordered, "Get out of the way." Then he put a hand on the door.
Song Yingchen stood to the side with her arms covered, looking at her with distrust.
This door is like a curtain to Yang Qianye, and it is easy to push it open. Seeing a little luck, her elbow bent nearly eighty degrees, and her right palm, which was placed in the center of the door, was immediately pushed out. There was hardly any crashing sound, and the hinge creaked and the door opened.
Song Yingchen was dumbfounded, called "Captain America" and walked into the door.
It was pitch black inside the house, and Chiba was hesitating to go in with him, when there was a sharp knock on the door outside. Soon, the knock on the door turned into the sound of the key stabbing the cylinder, and she immediately broke out in a sweat.
"Hey, she's coming!" She shouted into the house, but Song Yingchen didn't react, so she had to turn her head and go out.
The woman in the sunglasses had stepped in, snorting and panting.
"Xiao Yang, didn't you forget the key, how did you get in?"
Although the other party tried to make her tone appear kind and casual, she still heard a hint of panic from inside.
"I, I ......"
Just when she didn't know how to respond, Song Yingchen suddenly stood up from behind her.
"Mom!"
Chiba was dumbfounded, completely confused by the scene in front of her.
Lu Meiqin, who pretended to be her sister, couldn't help but gasp when she saw her son standing in front of her. The first thing she reacted to was not the excitement of a long absence, but rushed straight to the bedroom and locked the door.
"Mom, where did you go, the phone was turned off."
"You went into the house?" Lu Meiqin seems to be more concerned about this matter.
"Ah, but the light is broken, and I can't see anything." Song Yingchen threw herself into her arms and sprinkled coquettishly, "Mom, how are you doing lately, okay?" ”
Hearing this, Lu Meiqin felt a little relieved, and touched her son's head lovingly. "Okay, okay......" Still looking at the bedroom, looking nervous, "Your mother has moved everything in your house, are you looking for something?" ”
"Guitars, and model airplanes...... Where did you move to? ”
"Oh, the wallpaper is soaked by water seepage upstairs, thinking that I will lock it up if no one lives in it anyway, and then find someone to get it when the time is right, and all those things will be moved to Yuefu."
Chiba listened to it and made sure it was exactly the same as the landlord on the phone. And when we met during the day, she was hungover and didn't wake up, and she didn't pay attention in a daze, which is understandable.
A false alarm.
In this compartment, the mother and son reunited after a long absence, holding hands as if they were glued together, one sentence on the left and one sentence on the right, forgetting her completely.
"How's it going, did you go well on the exam?"
"Then you need to say, who is your son?"
"Mom saw your work on the Internet, the design is really good, my son is the best."
"Genetic Mom."
Chiba coughed twice deliberately: "Ahem." "Ten thousand divine beasts ran by in my heart.
"Oh yes, Mom, thanks to Chiba, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to enter the house." Song Yingchen called her by her name, and her tone sounded very familiar, "Why did you suddenly rent the house and not tell me?" ”
"It's too far away from the company, so I'll move to Yuefu." Lu Meiqin hurriedly replied and stood up, and turned to Chiba and said, "Miss Yang, I'm sorry, although you can live here with confidence, Yingchen and I promise not to disturb you." ”
"No, I'm not leaving, I like it here, I don't like Yuefu. Miss Yang allowed me to stay here, and I would not disturb her. ”
"Yingchen, obedient!" Lu Meiqin helped her sunglasses.
Finally it was Chiba's turn to speak, she cleared her throat and replied politely: "Aunt Lu, I changed my mind and don't want to rent this house anymore, can you give me the money back?" ”
"Don't, Miss Yang, why don't you rent, you listen to me......"
"Listen to me first. It is impossible to rent such a good house at such a low price, I inquired. Of course, you definitely don't live by collecting rent, what Yue Mansion you said sounds more upscale than here, presumably you don't like my rent at all. But I'm not greedy for anyone's cheapness, my heart is not steady, there is no need to rent such a good house at a cheap price, you should rent it to those who can afford it. Besides, now that your son is back, he wants to live here, so I'd better move in. It's just that please return the rent to me, I don't have any money in my pocket. ”
When Lu Meiqin heard this, she hurriedly took out a wad of banknotes from her handbag, to say the least of 5,000, and handed it over.
"There's no money, right, take it, don't have enough to tell me. Live in peace of mind, let's discuss the rent later. ”
She hurriedly excused herself, of course she would not accept this inexplicable money.
"What are you doing, I just want the rent back......"
"Take it, don't say anything, just do me a favor if you stay here."
Lu Meiqin obviously used a pleading tone, which made Song Yingchen confused.
"Mom, what the hell is going on?"
"I'll talk to Miss Yang, don't interject!" Lu Meiqin's face suddenly sank, and then she looked pitiful, "Miss Yang, I beg you." ”
"Isn't this embarrassing for me. To be honest, I was confused, and I was still a little hairy. Why are you pretending to be your sister, your son said...... She died long ago. ”
"This house is not haunted, trust me." Lu Meiqin lowered her head as she said and began to cry.
"Mom, it's okay, why are you crying? Why are you still wearing sunglasses, take them off for me to see. ”
Song Yingchen wanted to help Lu Meiqin take off her sunglasses, but was pushed away with a palm. He didn't like his mother's mysterious appearance, and he was a little angry, so he unconsciously stood on Chiba's side.
"Yes, why are you pretending to be my aunt? How do you explain all this? ”
"I don't have a bad heart, why don't I believe it." Lu Meiqin grabbed the tissue paper and reached into the frame to wipe away her tears.
Song Yingchen just wanted to continue asking, but was stopped by Chiba. She has natural compassion for the role of a mother, and she really doesn't want to see Lu Meiqin cry sadly, especially in front of her son.
"Aunt Lu, you don't have to tell me if there is anything unspeakable, but your son has the right to know, otherwise he will be worried."
"Miss Yang, okay to stay, I promise that there is nothing unfavorable to you in between."
Chiba bowed her head and said nothing, indicating her refusal.
"Miss Yang, please......" Lu Meiqin's voice was almost choked.
Looking at Song Yingchen, Chiba hesitated for a moment and made a request: "Tell your son what he wants to know, if it makes sense, I can consider staying." ”
Song Yingchen's heart trembled.
