Chapter 265: The New Neighbor Upstairs

lly have no good temper.Yè Xì heard the voice and turned around to see Jiāo Bǎor'er in the same counter. Her face immediately darkened, "Jiāo Bǎor'er, who did you say was a fox spirit!"The salesgirl i...Joe Bao'er insisted on moving out to rent a house.

Zhu Xiaowei couldn't hold her back and desperately called Tang Yu, hoping to get some help. However, he seemed very busy and of no use.

It's Saturday today, and there's nothing going on. Qiao Baoer's ankle injury doesn't affect her walking, and the white gauze bandage has been removed by her. In the end, after lunch, Zhu Xiaowei still resigned to accompany her to see a house.

They were lucky to find a one-bedroom apartment in the city center by following online posts. The furniture and decorations were all new, and the rent was relatively affordable.

"2500 yuan per month, one year's rent paid upfront, plus a 20,000 yuan deposit. Rent if you want, don't waste my time if you don't, decide quickly."

The landlord was a man in his thirties, about 5'7" tall. He wore casual clothes and glasses, and he looked quite refined. However, his tone of voice when he spoke was very sarcastic.

"Paying a year's rent upfront and also 20,000 yuan as a deposit Are you kidding me!" Zhu Xiaowei was furious.

The landlord boasted, "My renovation and furniture are all brand new. I've already reduced the 20,000 yuan deposit, and if anything gets damaged during the inspection at the end of your lease, you'll have to pay for it. Rent for a similar 50 square meter apartment in this area is over 4,500 yuan..."

"Two thousand yuan is too much as a deposit, at most one thousand. Besides, even though house prices in the city center are high, your area is already an old neighborhood. And please show me your property deed so I can make sure there aren't any issues with you being a subletter."

Zhu Xiaowei tried hard to bargain with the other party, Qiao Bao'er seemed uninterested in these prices. She walked around the small apartment, saying only, "It's a little cramped."

"If you think my house is small, why don't you go live in a villa"

The whole apartment was so small that everyone could hear every word Jo Baoer said. The landlord's face wasn't looking good, he glared at them with disdain and spoke to them with a condescending tone.

"Are you guys really looking to rent This place is small, I can't afford a big Buddha."

Zhu Xiaowei's expression was somewhat twisted, he rubbed his forehead and muttered, "This is really a big Buddha."

"That's good enough."

Qiao Bao'er had developed a bad habit of not haggling when spending money while living in the Jun family. After signing the contract, she completed the mobile transfer and officially became the mistress of the house.

" Qiao Bao'er, thrift and frugality are the virtues of our nation." Zhu Xiaowei looked at her signing with a big hand, finishing so quickly, and was somewhat moved.

Think about it, other people have to spend days or even half a month renting a house, comparing different options before making a decision. Ms. Qiao is really efficient.

"We didn't even read through those three pages of the contract..."

Qiao Bao'er casually shoved the rental contract into a drawer and, turning back, said naturally, "Who dares to cheat me"

Zhu Xiaowei was stunned for a long time, indeed, who would dare to trick her

Even if there are problems with the contract, it's anyone’s guess who might be crying later.

"If you get on the Jun family's bad side, it's going to be terrible." Zhu Xiaowei murmured to herself, her first thought was of her relationship with the Jun family.

Suddenly, Qiao Bao'er, who had always been calm and composed, lowered her voice, "I mean, I can handle this myself. I won't be bullied by anyone."

Zhu Xiaowei saw that she was finally looking a little spirited when angry, much better than when she was silent. If she could just be like she used to be, then he wouldn't have to worry so much about her.

"Xiao Zhu, I know what I'm doing."

"Qiao Baoer entered the small kitchen, tidying up while calmly saying, 'If you chat with my aunt, tell her I'm not angry with her anymore.'"

Zhu Xiaowei was a little surprised to hear her say that, and for a moment didn't know how to reply, just letting out an "um".

Actually, Zhu Xiaowei also discovered something else - it was very close to the &am;am; Group headquarters building. There was a direct bus route from outside the community gate to there, but this must have just been a coincidence.

There's a big supermarket about 500 meters from the apartment complex downstairs. It's really convenient for daily necessities shopping. They bought some new cups, tableware, and bedding. They could move in after simple tidying up. That night, Zhu Xiaowei slept on the same bed with her.

However, the next day, Zhu Xiaowei was driven away by her.

"You are ungrateful, a bridge-destroyer…" Zhu Xiaowei was very angry.

Qiao Baoer ignored her and finally threw out a sentence, "Go busy yourself." The door was slammed shut by her.

Zhu Xiaowei looked at the tightly closed door in front of him, feeling deeply indignant.

But speaking of which, Pei Yi that little brat was too much. He even called her last night, complaining about how she wouldn't accompany him to a kindergarten activity. Qiao Baoer probably heard her talking on the phone. She generally dislikes interrupting other people's lives and probably really wanted to try living a quiet life alone.

Soon after Zhu Xiaowei left, Qiao Baier also felt bored. She wanted to walk around the neighborhood.

She changed into a bottle green shirt as a base and long, deep blue jeans, wearing white casual sneakers. It was a bit cold in early winter, so she put on a white short down jacket. She had light makeup and no lipstick, standing about 1 meter 7 tall. Her long hair was simply tied up, making her look like a youthful college girl.

After locking the door, she patiently waited for the elevator. The other residents, mostly elderly couples, couldn't help but glance at her a few times. It was probably because she was strikingly beautiful and new to the building.

"Girl, are you just moving in"

"Are you studying in the city What's your major Are you at an art school"

This residential area was developed many years ago, and the residents are relatively stable and particularly friendly.

qiao Baoer is not good at greeting people, her expression froze for a moment, she only said, "Hello."

Perhaps it's because young people today are too flamboyant, while older uncles and aunts prefer quiet girls. Plus, Qiao Bao'er has good genes and a beautiful face that is quite deceptive. At this time, she is a bit slow and not very good at communicating with people, appearing shy and timid, which makes them like her even more.

"Young lady, where are you from"

As soon as we stepped into the elevator, these elderly residents became even more enthusiastic. Retired elders love nothing more than introducing people to potential romantic partners.

"Have you ever had a boyfriend My nephew works in a big company and earns over five hundred thousand yuan a year. He's very filial and has no bad habits..."

Your nephew is out of the question, he's nowhere near as tall as that young lady. They'd look quite awkward standing next to each other.

The two old women started arguing, Qiao Bao'er felt a little embarrassed and just hoped the elevator would reach the first floor quickly.

When the elevator doors opened, there were boxes of packed belongings piled up at the entrance.

"It seems there's a new resident."

Those old residents were still chatting. Qiao Baier wasn't interested in their topic and politely said, "I'm going first." She quickly left.

Those women behind us were still excitedly discussing, "The girl upstairs is actually a guy." Then their voices became even more excited, "...he's so handsome."he living room and warmly offered her fruit and sweets.Qiao Baoer, with her suppressed and irritable mood, was chatting with the elderly person. At this moment, a little girl suddenly ran over and swe...
