With these 3,000 yuan, in this area, if we get married, we could still rent a small secondary bedroom together.
When I went to see her, she had actually rented a one-bedroom apartment, located right next to the bustling Waijiang Bund, and the rent was only 2,000 a month.
I found it hard to believe that such a great location and such beautiful decor for a one-bedroom apartment could only cost 2,000 a month.
As I was pondering this, someone knocked on the door.
Shaw Manny opened the door, and a man in his forties with a Mediterranean hairstyle walked in.
He was the landlord, Jiang Shiying.
As soon as he entered, he stared at Shaw Manny and said, "The young ladies nowadays are getting more and more beautiful."
Shaw Manny, who usually appeared cold, showed a sweet smile and replied, "Thank you for the compliment, brother Jiang."
Today, Shaw Manny looked really beautiful. She was wearing a tight lace dress, black stockings, and sparkling high heels that showcased her perfect figure.
Shaw Manny enviously said, " brother Jiang is really impressive. I wish I could have four apartments too."
I frowned slightly, feeling an uneasy premonition. "You seem quite familiar with him."
Shaw Manny came from a poor family in the Xingnan area and had two younger brothers. Her parents favored sons over daughters and treated her poorly since childhood.
During college, aside from studying and part-time jobs, she spent all her time on me and didn't even have a close friend.
She longed for a home so much.
But Jiang Shiying's words were too coincidental; how could there be such good fortune?
I quietly reminded her, "Since he has such a nice place to rent out to you, it must not be simple. Don't get scammed."
However, Shaw Manny shot me a glance and turned back to chat and laugh with Jiang Shiying, even affectionately calling him " brother Jiang."
She usually wouldn't dress like this for school; I always thought she was conservative. Now I realized that deep down, she might actually be a bit open-minded.
Jiang Shiying's gaze wandered recklessly over her, and he said enviously, "That figure is just amazing. If I could have a beautiful woman like your girlfriend, that would be fantastic!"
Shaw Manny didn't seem angry at his flippant compliment; instead, she smiled even brighter. " brother Jiang, you really know how to flatter. I'm not that great."
I was furious, my face turning pale. How could she be so oblivious to my feelings!
She treated me like air and continued to chat and laugh with Jiang Shiying.
" brother Jiang, you really are impressive; you've bought four apartments at such a young age."
"That's nothing; I just used some small tricks," he replied.
"I really envy you, brother Jiang."
...
Watching them chat enthusiastically made me feel uncomfortable. I grabbed Shaw Manny's wrist and said, "We should go."
Shaw Manny shook off my hand. "What's the rush?"
Jiang Shiying glanced at me and asked, "What should I call you, little brother..."
Shaw Manny naturally introduced me, "He's my boyfriend, Lu Hu."
"Oh, your boyfriend has a powerful name." Jiang Shiying patted my shoulder. "Nice to meet you."
However, Shaw Manny affectionately called him " brother Jiang," which made me feel uneasy.
I pulled Shaw Manny toward the exit. "Come on, I need to talk to you."
Jiang Shiying looked at Manny with a smile, his gaze lingering meaningfully on my face as he slowly walked out the door.
As soon as Jiang Shiying left, I couldn't help but say, "That Jiang Shiying looks like a nouveau riche and a country bumpkin. How could he possibly lack your rent? I'm still saying bad things about you; he definitely doesn't have good intentions."
Shaw Manny impatiently said, "You're overthinking it! brother Jiang is not that kind of person. You're overthinking it."
I didn't expect her to react this way. "I'm doing this for your own good. The way he looked just now, it was like he wanted to eat you alive!"
"Alright, stop talking. I know what I'm doing," Shaw Manny said impatiently.
I sighed. I knew she was always very smart and knew how to protect herself, but I couldn't help but remind her.
Because I cared too much about her. We had been in a relationship for three years, and our feelings were deep. I didn't want her to be taken away by another man.
Especially Jiang Shiying. He was ten years older than us, experienced in society, and wealthy. If I guessed correctly, he should already be married.
Shaw Manny had never done anything to betray me since we got together, so I wasn't worried about her cheating on me.
I was just worried that she might be deceived.
But I never expected that we would end in such a way.
As we were about to officially step into society, the issue of housing was unavoidable for us. I didn't expect that Shaw Manny would do something like this for a house.
