Chapter 48 Shen Youyou: I will never forgive you!
"Could you please tell Sister You that we can go over to sign the contract first thing tomorrow morning?"
On the phone, Zheng Yumeng's voice sounded somewhat anxious.
That apartment is absolutely fantastic!
She never dreamed that one day she would be able to live in a house like this.
It was like a princess castle from a fairy tale.
The key point is that the rent is cheap.
Therefore, she was afraid that if she hesitated, she would waste time and cause the house to be rented by someone else.
Little did she know that even if Shen Youyou didn't want to rent the house in the end, she would eventually find another reason to make it a "home" for the four of them: her sisters, Tang Wei, and Ning Xiuyang.
"Um... Senior Ning, could you perhaps talk to Sister You about lowering the rent a bit more... It doesn't have to be much, fifty or a hundred is just a token of our appreciation. You know, the four of us are all poor students, and our families aren't well-off. Of course, I know that it's already very, very cheap, but it's okay if we can't reach a better price..."
On the phone, Zheng Yumeng's voice sounded somewhat uneasy and nervous, her words were broken and she seemed quite embarrassed.
She knew that her request was actually quite unreasonable.
With water and electricity included, it's only 800 yuan a month. Not to mention in Zhonghai, it's hard to find such cheap rent even in my hometown, let alone near a school.
She didn't want to be seen as an immature person.
But sometimes, being sensible depends on whether you have the ability to be sensible.
After paying their tuition and fees, the two sisters have less than two thousand yuan left, which is their living expenses for one semester.
Of course, there are also subsidies that I've applied for, but I don't know when they will be approved.
Her current economic situation is not enough to support her becoming more sensible in interpersonal relationships, so it's always good to save money.
"Okay, I'll talk to her about it later. I can't guarantee it will work out, but I'll try my best."
Faced with Zheng Yumeng's seemingly difficult request, Ning Xiuyang smiled slightly and spoke with a mix of truth and falsehood.
For him, it was just a matter of a word.
We would even give them free accommodation.
But since I've moved in myself, it wouldn't be good if the four girls became suspicious and thought I had ulterior motives. I need to appear a little awkward to make it seem more authentic.
He's just a roommate!
Upon hearing Zheng Yumeng's words, Zheng Yulu, Tang Wei, and Shen Youyou all looked on with anticipation, waiting for a reply on the phone.
Clearly, they were all thinking about how they could lower the rent further, but they were too embarrassed to ask, since it was already very cheap!
The apartment building has two floors and an area of more than 250 square meters. Renting such a large house near Zhonghai University only costs 4,000 yuan a month including water and electricity. Who would believe that?
"How is it? How is it?"
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Yulu looked at her older sister eagerly.
Zheng Yumeng smiled, looked at Tang Wei and Shen Youyou, and said, "Senior Ning said he'll go talk to the real estate manager again, but he can't guarantee whether he can get it done."
"That's fine... but 800 a month is still beyond my expectations. Even if we don't reach an agreement, I think we should still thank Senior Ning. How about we treat him to a meal after I get my part-time salary?"
The speaker was Tang Wei, wearing faded jeans and a white round-neck T-shirt, her hair tied in a ponytail, revealing her fair neck with a few strands of downy hair—a very typical student outfit.
She was the poorest of the four in the dormitory. She even had to earn her tuition money by working part-time. Unlike Zheng Yumeng and her sister, whose families at least provided them with tuition and extra living expenses, although not much, it was still much better than hers.
She was genuinely grateful to Senior Ning for making the suggestion; she didn't have any ulterior motives.
Her roommates all know that she already has a boyfriend.
Moreover, her boyfriend is Li Mingfeng, a senior who shares a dorm with Ning.
"Sure, why don't we just cook at home? My sister said the house has everything, including kitchenware, so I can show you my cooking skills~" Zheng Yulu said with a grin, looking a little smug.
She is different from her older sister Zheng Yumeng. Zheng Yumeng is more outgoing and cheerful, while she is more shy. When the two sisters are together, she is usually in charge of the housework, such as laundry and cooking, while her older sister is in charge of dealing with outsiders.
She's a pretty good cook. With simple ingredients, even if she only has oil, salt, and chili peppers at home, she can still cook up delicious dishes over a wood fire.
"That's a good idea, and it saves money too." Tang Wei nodded with a smile.
The four girls from the dormitory chatted and laughed as they left the mall, seemingly immersed in the joy of soon being able to live in a cheap, spacious house. Only Shen Youyou remained silent, her expression complex and unreadable, her brows furrowed as she pondered a myriad of thoughts.
"Senior Ning, please don't have anything to do with my mom, or I won't forgive you!"
……
"Could you check if those four girls who were just browsing in the store are still there?"
At the entrance to the fitting room, Ning Xiuyang called over the beautiful saleswoman who was waiting outside and gave her some instructions.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The sales clerk paused for a moment, then nodded with a smile and went to search the store.
After confirming that he was not there, she returned to report the news.
Ning Xiuyang and Shen Yourong then walked out with peace of mind.
Actually, Ning Xiuyang wasn't worried about anything. So what if he was found out? It wouldn't cause the sky to fall. But Shen Yourong couldn't let her daughter find out that she was dating her daughter's senior!
"Thank you, your total bill is 122400 yuan. Would you like to pay by card or by QR code?"
"Swipe your card."
Ning Xiuyang handed his bank card to the cashier.
[Note: Current spending is 122400 yuan. Within the [Double Spending Cashback Card] limit, the cashback amount is 244800 yuan, which will be deposited into the host's China Merchants Bank card 8897!]
[Double Spending Cashback Card - Credit Limit Remaining: 77600 Yuan]
「【招商银行】：2025年9月13日17点57分您帐户尾号8897日常消费122400元，帐户当前余额133824.91元！」
「【招商银行】：2025年9月13日17点58分您帐户尾号8897他行汇入244800元，帐户当前余额378624.91元！」
Tsk.
Looking at the pile of clothes and packaging bags, and then at his bank card balance which had increased rather than decreased, Ning Xiuyang was in a great mood. He put away his bank card and, in front of the cashier, cupped Shen Yourong's face and kissed her hard.
"Ah~"
Shen Yourong was startled, her face flushed red, and she stared at Ning Xiuyang with a shy and reproachful expression.
"Madam, your husband is so good to you~" The cashier said a nice compliment at the right time.
These words stirred ripples in Shen Yourong's heart. She lowered her head shyly, but couldn't help glancing at the smug Ning Xiuyang.
This little man, he spent so much money and he's still so happy?
Ning Xiuyang gave the cashier the address of Binjiang Garden and asked them to arrange for someone to deliver the goods to his door. Then, he led Shen Yourong out of Armani.
Along the way, Shen Yourong was afraid that her daughter and her classmates were still in the mall, so she clung tightly to Ning Xiuyang's arm like a thief, wearing large sunglasses and glancing around from time to time.
The two shopped around for a while longer, spending all of their remaining credit of over 70,000 yuan before leaving around 7 p.m.
With the remaining 7 yuan, Ning Xiuyang bought Shen Yourong a lot of clothes and cosmetics.
These are all good clothes that can enhance the relationship and bond between two people.
Ning Xiuyang's bank card balance also reached 45 yuan.
"Phew~"
After getting into the car, Shen Yourong started the engine and patted her bulging chest with lingering fear, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, I didn't run into my daughter.
Otherwise, neither of their mouths would know how to explain it.
"Are you so afraid of Youyou finding out?"
Ning Xiuyang looked at Shen Yourong teasingly.
Shen Yourong was taken aback, and said embarrassedly, "It's not that I'm afraid she'll find out, it's just that... I don't know how to explain it. I'm her mother, and I've done... done something like this with her senior. If she finds out, she'll be devastated!"
As she spoke, Shen Yourong's eyes were filled with seductive charm.
