Chapter 4159 - 4147: The Importance of Genes

Chapter 4159: Chapter 4147: The Importance of Genes

After listening to Cao Xiaohui’s words, the police also found it reasonable.

If you want to repair three floorboards, the surrounding floorboards also need to be lifted and re-laid.

Plus, labor costs in Zhong Hai are not cheap, a cost of 148 for the floorboards with a 500 repair fee is within reason.

But...

The police looked at Xu Ying.

"This young lady is also here to work. It’s not easy for anyone. Can you offer a bit of a discount? Everyone can take a step back."

"I can’t decide on this, it depends on what Mr. Lin Yi thinks. He is responsible for the matters here now."

Everyone turned to look at Lin Yi.

yuan isn’t much for Xu Ying, but if it’s 600, it might be a bit too much.

Xu Ying didn’t expect the handsome guy in front of her didn’t intend to take advantage, just wanted to charge a symbolic fee.

But Feng Lei messed it up.

"The cost is as it is. He’s always accusing me of scamming money, so since he’s here to negotiate, he can pay the money himself."

Feng Lei’s situation wasn’t too good either, slightly better than Xu Ying’s but not by much.

And since it’s the end of the month, he’s living paycheck to paycheck and doesn’t have much money left.

"No need, it’s my issue, I’ll pay it myself." Xu Ying said.

The situation stands here, not paying isn’t an option.

"If you’re paying, 200 will do."

"Really?"

Xu Ying’s eyes lit up, knowing this was a special concession for her.

But Feng Lei stood there, embarrassed to the point of curling his toes.

"Little Ying, don’t listen to him, he must have ulterior motives for doing this."

Cao Xiaohui glanced at Feng Lei with disdain on his face.

The person spent billions to buy the place, what bad intentions could they have towards her?

Read too many novels, perhaps?

"He just let me pay 200, and you say he has ulterior motives?"

"Originally it should have been over 600, he reduced it by over 400, he must want to get closer to you and do something to you."

"I’m moving out from here, what could he do to me?"

Feng Lei was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say, and Xu Ying was also feeling resentment towards him.

At first, she didn’t think much of him, but now seeing him, she found him somewhat annoying.

"If you think I have ulterior motives towards her, just pay up frankly. Why talk so much?" Lin Yi said.

"Fine, I’ll pay!"

Feng Lei took out his phone, started gathering money, and after a long while, managed to scrape together a little over 500 yuan from all his cards.

"Wait here, I’ll make a call."

Saying so, Feng Lei went out, embarrassed to call in front of others.

"This guy is quite interesting, over 600 yuan, spent so long and still needs to borrow a bit." Cao Xiaohui said with a smile.

"They’re all living paycheck to paycheck, it’s normal to be broke at the end of the month." Lin Yi said.

"If he’s broke, why does he need to put on airs, what’s the point?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xu Ying felt embarrassed.

"Landlord brother, let me pay you, no need to wait for him."

"Alright."

Lin Yi handed over the QR code, "200 will do."

"Thank you, landlord brother."

Xu Ying took her phone, scanned and paid 200 yuan, signed her name, and the move-out process was complete.

Just then, Feng Lei came back, shouting:

"Where’s the QR code? I’ll pay now."

"I’ve already paid, no need for you to embarrass yourself!"

Saying that, Xu Ying angrily dragged Feng Lei away, not wanting to embarrass herself with him.

After the two left, Cao Xiaohui greeted Lin Yi and left with the police.

With nothing else to do, Lin Yi made a call to urge some rent payments again.

In addition, he received a few resumes from the job search website. They were for job applications, but each applicant was too old, so Lin Yi decided to pass.

Checking the time, it was already past four in the afternoon.

The tenant of 1909 still hadn’t paid the rent.

Lin Yi had anticipated this, knowing there was a high probability he wouldn’t pay today either.

The reason he agreed to his request was just to give himself an excuse.

I agreed to your request, but you still don’t comply, so you can’t blame me.

But today, I’ll wait until tomorrow before addressing it, as a day’s time hadn’t passed yet.

"Daddy!"

Just then, Lin Yi heard a voice coming from the hallway.

It’s Little Nuonuo’s voice!

Lin Yi immediately stood up, went to the hallway, and saw Little Nuonuo wearing blue overalls, running towards him, eyes squinting with joy.

"Hehe..."

Laughing so happily.

Lin Yi opened his arms, taking Little Nuonuo into his embrace.

Ji Qingyan was holding a bag, wearing a knee-length wrap dress, with a white blouse on top, and a bow design at the chest. Despite being a spicy mom, there was still a sense of mature elegance.

"After picking her up from school, she just said she wanted to see you, insisted on it, and couldn’t be stopped." Ji Qingyan said.

"Shows that my daughter really loves me."

"She just wants to play the toy train at the mall entrance."

"Hehe..."

Seeing Little Nuonuo’s embarrassed smile, Lin Yi knew that no one understands a daughter better than her mother.

"Let’s eat first, then go play the toy train."

"You spoil her too much."

"She’s still young, it’s okay to spoil her a bit."

"Yeah, I’m still young."

Little Nuonuo looked proudly at Ji Qingyan, as if to say, I have daddy’s support, you don’t.

With Little Nuonuo here, Lin Yi was in no mood to deal with work.

Locking the door, he took Little Nuonuo to the mall just one street away and found a barbecue restaurant.

Ji Qingyan didn’t have a large appetite, and was full after a few bites.

The father and daughter enjoyed indulging, eating heartily.

"I feel your appetite now is not even as big as Nuonuo’s."

"I’m also puzzled, she just started kindergarten, and already seems to be growing up."

Talking about Little Nuonuo, Ji Qingyan became serious.

"Among the kids in kindergarten, she’s the tallest. Some kids are even a year older than her, but not as tall."

"Shows our genes are working. Her mom is a whopping 175 cm."

Ji Qingyan smugly, "Of course, if I wear high heels, I’ll dwarf you."

"Yes, yes, President Ji is the best."

"Daddy is awesome too." Little Nuonuo praised, then put down her chopsticks, "Daddy, Mommy, I’m done eating, let’s go for a walk."

"Just a walk? How about not riding the toy train?"

"No way! What’s the point of coming if we don’t ride it?"

"Didn’t you say you missed Daddy, that’s why we came?"

"But I’ve seen Daddy now, so now it’s time to ride the toy train."

With that, Little Nuonuo dragged Lin Yi away.

"Daddy, let’s hurry, or Mommy won’t let me play later."
