Chapter 496: Tang Yu, I Have No Money

ck cats, especially this one with its piercing, golden cat eyes. They dare not disrespect it, offend it, or provoke it."My goodness, why do we have a black cat in our house Where did it come from"She...Over the past few days, Tang Yu's life has been a mess.

He wasn't good at housework to begin with, but after yesterday's tussle with a black cat, the furniture was smashed and scattered throughout the apartment. The whole place looked like a dump.

This morning, a retired auntie from the community went to knock on Tang Yu's door looking extremely angry. Bang bang bang——

"What annoys me the most are those undisciplined young people. They spend their time eating, drinking, playing, and buying brand-name products. They throw money around carelessly, but when it comes to paying water and electricity bills, they drag their feet and even require a personal visit to collect the payment..."

The old district of Xin Yue City has many enthusiastic retired volunteers who are very willing to help maintain the normal operation of the community, especially those who educate new residents who don't listen well.

< Bang, bang, bang! The thick metal gate was pounded wildly by Aunt with fury, urging them to hurry.>

"Open the door right now! I know you're in there. You haven't paid your water and electricity bill in three months. It's less than a hundred dollars, you really want to shirk this You're so irresponsible!"

The auntie from the neighborhood spoke with a commanding voice, loud and clear. "I came to your door twice before, but you weren't home. Today, I asked Mr. Chen next door to keep an eye out, and he told me you were in! Open the door quickly. A hundred dollars is a small matter, but you young man are simply irresponsible. Since you live here, you must follow the rules! About the water and electricity bill, you need to make sure it doesn't happen again. Don't expect us to keep coming over to lecture you…"

When Tang Yu opened the door with a sleep-deprived expression, his short hair was messy and he looked dazed.

"Finally know how to open the door, right" The auntie continued her lecture. "But..." When she looked inside, she was startled and screamed, "What's going on in your house!"

It's more terrifying than having a thief break in. The sofa and chairs are overturned, curtains are ripped and hanging askew, and there are shards of cups and plates on the floor.

Compared to the frightened expression on Aunt in the neighborhood, Tang Yu was still dazed. In a low voice, he spoke very slowly, "Don't knock on my door."

At that moment, the aunt turned her gaze to the young man standing before her, who was tall and slender.

Because Tang Yu didn't get enough sleep, he was sleepy and spoke in a low voice. He seemed to have been woken up suddenly and couldn't stand the noise. He reluctantly got up. His shirt and pants were wrinkled, and his whole appearance looked lazy, but not messy. At first glance, this young man had a good temperament. He should be a highly educated and well-mannered civilized person.

Although this young man has a particularly good voice and a decent appearance, he needs to be criticized and educated for doing the wrong thing.

The neighborhood auntie put down a few overdue bills in her hand and her voice softened slightly, "It's been three months since you paid your water and electricity bill. I came here to remind you, otherwise the security guards at our community said they would directly cut off your electricity and water."

"Speaking of which, the old woman started complaining again, "The sun is already high in the sky, and he's still sleeping! Young people these days are all like this. I came over to wake you up out of kindness, but all I get are complaints."

Tang Yu owed electricity bills.

Add it all up, it comes to 98.2 yuan.

Tang Yu reached out and took the few overdue notice bills, then casually wanted to close them.

However, the caring auntie in the community specifically urged him to pay up. As they say, she was a seasoned veteran. Just as Tang Yu wanted to close the door, she glared at him with anger and slapped the door shut with a loud clap, stopping him from leaving.

"Only 100 yuan, how long do you want to drag it out Do you really want your water and electricity cut off That would be so much trouble. Have you thought about the consequences" Although the older aunt was furious, she was also speaking from the heart.

"I have no money."

Tang Yu lifted his head, his voice low and languid, his speech slow and drawn out.

Since you're so shameless, just admit you don't have any money!

The old aunt was fuming, her face tightly set as she prepared to continue berating him. But when she met Tang Yu's gaze, she suddenly went speechless and stopped, as if having forgotten her words in an instant because of her age.

Tang Yu's movements were swift. He caught sight of the black cat in the room sauntering over to watch the commotion, and with a flash, he darted past and grabbed it.

A slender, fair hand held a black cat steadily. Tang Yu asked with a touch of seriousness, "Can cats be used as payment" His voice was low and husky.

The old auntie was shocked, startled, and a little speechless. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no!"

Looking at the black cat being held in mid-air, struggling with its claws and teeth, her gaze then shifted upwards to meet Tang Yu's handsome features. She looked into his deep blue eyes.

This young person is so handsome. That thought popped into the retired old lady's mind.

After thinking about it, I realized that I had just spoken so many harsh words to him like an elder scolding a younger one. Amazingly, there wasn't even a hint of anger on his face. What a good teacher he is! It's true what they say, handsome people are different.

For a hundred yuan of water and electricity bill, she ran to someone's house and made a big fuss. The older aunt felt more and more ashamed as she thought about it. How could young people deliberately default on such a small amount of money They must have encountered difficulties. I was really confused.

In the end, Tang Yu didn't say anything. This aunt who came to collect the payment actually overthought things and didn't press him any further. She lowered her head in shame and said apologetically, "Mr. Tang, please forgive me for getting angry and saying those rude things today…"

Tang Yu still kept his cat-carrying posture. His fair and handsome face, with blue eyes, was somewhat puzzled, but he didn't make a sound.

The neighborhood auntie thought to herself, "Such a handsome man! In her whole life, she had never met anyone like him before. And he was so patient and kind, not even angry at all."

Aunt instantly became warm and friendly, a smile playing on her lips that slightly revealed crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. "Xiaoyu, do you live here all by yourself usually When did you move into our neighborhood I've lived in this community for forty years. The old housing in this area might be a bit outdated, but the neighbors are all very kind and content. It's not as fast-paced as life in the eastern part of the city. Choosing to live here is truly a rare find – someone who can maintain such a peaceful mind..."

Looking at Tang Yu's appearance and temperament, all the beauty unconsciously associates with him.

The aunt suddenly became very enthusiastic, Tang Yu felt a little uncomfortable. He actually wanted to close the door directly, but the door panel was tightly pressed by this retired woman. Holding the cat, he listened to her talk for a long time without any emotional fluctuation.

Suddenly, the aunt excitedly leaned closer to him, "Xiao Yu, I wonder if you mind me introducing you to a potential match. My niece is really kind and filial..."

Tang Yu's face remained unchanged, he took a step back. He disliked being too close to people and did not like getting too familiar with them.

But Tang Yu forgot to refuse, and he seriously underestimated the enthusiasm of these ordinary people.

Soon, a rumor gradually spread throughout the Xinyuecheng community.

It is rumored that a very handsome man has recently moved into their community. The retired women who dance in the square have even more exaggerated claims, saying that a descendant of a hidden noble family has arrived in their neighborhood.

This man is very mysterious. He lives alone and has a black cat as a pet. Even the way the cat sits looks very noble.

Now, Tang Yu's doorstep is bustling with activity every day. A group of women from the same womb even make a special trip past his building, and all sorts of rumors and gossip are circulating.

On Friday afternoon, nearing the weekend, both office workers and students were particularly excited. Qiao Bao'er and Zhu Xiaowei had made an appointment to meet up for some shopping.tion. He put on his earphones, looking at the sun slowly setting at the end of the road. Soft violin music filled his ears. Walking in this unfamiliar city, he felt inexplicably relaxed both physicall...
