Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After throwing out the last bag of garbage, Yu Lili looked at the empty room and felt grieved. The sound of the doorbell came from the outside suddenly.
She saw through the door mirror. It was the landlord. Yu Lili was a little surprised.
The place where the landlord lived is a bit far away from here. Does he also want to watch the scene of bustle in the middle of the night?
The landlord was a middle-aged man of forty or fifty years old. He cried out in shock when he entered the door. He looked at the door locks and the door panels deliberately, then found that they were all ruined badly. Furniture, wardrobes, walls, and kitchen were all ruined.
The landlord looked more and more serious. He looked at Yu Lili and said, “Yu, you have lived here for a few years, I have been rather good to you, right?”
Yu Lili had already lowered her head out of qualms. After hearing that, she immediately felt that it was not good. Being a little bit fl.u.s.tered, she looked up at the landlord with confusion in her eyes.
“I originally let you live here because life was not easy for you as a girl. Also, you loved to be clean. So I thought you would love my house and my furniture. Now you have messed up with someone, and my house was destroyed like this. All the furniture was ruined. I’ve lost a lot, Yu.”
“I…”
“Alas! Look at my house. You can’t sleep in such a place tonight. Pack your things and order a room in a hotel. The 8,000 yuan that you have given to me is not enough for me to buy the new furniture. I also need to fix the floor and walls. Anyway, you just go. I don’t need you to pay for the rest of them.” The landlord waved his hand and sighed.
Yu Lili was astounded and cried, “How could you? I…”
“Yu, I think that I have be treating you very well these years. But of course you have to pay for the hatred you’ve caused. I won’t ask you for those renovation costs. You just go.”
With a sore throat and red eyes, she almost couldn’t help but cry.
Seeing that, the landlord just shook his head, heaved a sigh and said, “Yu, I’m not cruel, but I don’t know how to explain it to my wife. You’d better prepare yourself. I will ask someone else to clean up the house tomorrow.” While saying those words, he turned around and went away.
Staring at his receding figure, Yu Lili felt empty. She then absentmindedly packed up her things and found that her things left that could still be used could occupy half of the s.p.a.ce in one suitcase.
Dragging the suitcase, Yu Lili walked down the street in a daze. There was a five-star hotel opposite to the housing estate across the street. It would cost more than seven hundred yuan a night just to stay there. Yu Lili just looked at it and directly pa.s.sed by with her suitcase. After a long walk, she finally found a quite cheaper hotel that cost a hundred yuan for one night.
After checking in, she found out that the condition of the hotel was terrible. The sound insulation effect was so bad that even the squeaking sound of the next door’s bed could be heard. The sound of woman’s breath and moaning and the low-pitched voice of the man went through the wall and drilled into the Yu Lili’s ears. All of these sounds annoyed her.
Yu Lili didn’t dare to sleep directly on the bed, so she put the clothes on the bed then lay on it. She threw the quilt on the floor and draped heavier clothes on her body. After that, she finally lay on the bed.
Just after the sound of the next door stopped, everything finally quieted down. Late at night, it was deadly still. Suddenly the phone rang, and she received a text message.
[h.e.l.lo Miss Yu, I am the police officer who handled your case today. Mr. Li’s list has been sent to you via WeChat. You need to pay a total of 495,629 yuan. Please negotiate with the other party as soon as possible.]
Looking at the text message, Yu Lili wrapped her body with her coat. Then she sneered, but tears fell down. In the middle of the night, only a low, forbearing sobbing could be heard in the small room.
