Chapter 52 The Thoughts of the Twin Sisters
At the entrance of the residential compound.
"Why isn't he here yet? I can't wait any longer!"
Wearing a floral dress, Shen Youyou spoke to the Zheng Yumeng sisters with a complaining tone.
Now that she's calmed down, she actually regrets sharing the apartment.
It wasn't because of the rent; she could manage with part-time work. The main issue was that she was sharing an apartment with Ning Xiuyang. She had just rejected his confession not long ago, but a few days later, they were living together. Even though there were three other roommates besides her and him, it was still a bit awkward to see each other all the time.
As for his relationship with his mother, we can start by talking to her.
"It's okay, Youyou, it should be here soon. I sent the message to Mengmeng half an hour ago, it should arrive by now~"
Seeing that Shen Youyou was getting a little impatient, Zheng Yulu quickly comforted her.
"Here it comes!"
Shen Youyou was about to say something more when Zheng Yumeng suddenly became excited, pointed to a powerful black car at the intersection, turned to Shen Youyou and the others, and said, "That's Senior Ning's car, he's arrived!"
Shen Youyou raised an eyebrow, swallowing back the words she wanted to say. Seeing that Zheng Yumeng and her sister, as well as Tang Wei, were all quite happy, she didn't want to be the one to spoil the mood.
As they were talking, Ning Xiuyang stopped the car in front of them and rolled down the window.
"Get in the car."
"Okay, Senior Ning, thank you for your help. I hope I didn't disturb your sleep~" Zheng Yumeng said with a sweet smile.
Ning Xiuyang smiled and shook his head.
As Zheng Yumeng spoke, she opened the passenger door. Just as Ning Xiuyang thought she was going to get in, she suddenly turned her head, grabbed Shen Youyou's hand, and pushed her.
"What are you doing?" Shen Youyou glared at Zheng Yumeng, reluctantly getting into the passenger seat.
"Hey, why don't you sit in the front and learn the way? You know we're all terrible with directions~" Zheng Yumeng casually came up with a lame excuse.
As she spoke, she winked at Ning Xiuyang with a hint of mockery.
Clearly, she wanted to bring Shen Youyou and Ning Xiuyang together.
sensible.
Shen Youyou raised an eyebrow and reluctantly got into the passenger seat. Seeing Ning Xiuyang smiling at her, she couldn't help but hum softly without saying a word. In her heart, she was thinking about how to start a conversation and ask him about her mother.
Zheng Yumeng, Zheng Yulu, and Tang Wei then got into the back seat.
After they closed the door, Ning Xiuyang drove directly into the residential area.
Shen Youyou didn't speak, and he was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Although he has now become her stepfather, how can he call her "my precious daughter" if she doesn't call him "Dad" first?
"Senior Ning, have you talked to Sister You about the rent? Can it be reduced?"
Seeing that Shen Youyou wasn't talking to Ning Xiuyang, Zheng Yumeng, who was in the back seat, hesitated for a moment and then took the initiative to start a conversation.
Upon hearing this, Shen Youyou couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ning Xiuyang, but when Ning Xiuyang looked over, she quickly looked away.
In the back seat, Zheng Yulu and Tang Wei also stared intently at Ning Xiuyang.
Clearly, they all hoped to lower the rent further, even though they knew it was impossible, since the rent was already far too low.
Ning Xiuyang smiled slightly and said, "We've already talked about it. They said they'd discuss it again when we meet. It should be able to be reduced a bit more, but I don't know exactly how much less. I'll ask them again later."
What?
Can it really be less?
Zheng Yumeng didn't actually have high hopes; she just wanted to use this as a way to start a conversation.
Upon hearing Ning Xiuyang's words, the people in the car were immediately excited. Even if it was only fifty or a hundred yuan less, it would be several days' worth of living expenses for them!
[Note: Zheng Yumeng's affinity with you has increased to 45 points (Favorability)!]
[Note: Tang Wei's affinity with you has increased to 35 points (Friendly)!]
[Note: Shen Youyou's affinity with you has increased to 55 points (Favorability)!]
[Note: Zheng Yulu's bond level with you has increased, currently at 62 points (dependency)!]
Ok?
Ning Xiuyang glanced at the system notification and was slightly taken aback.
Shen Youyou's bond index has actually reached 55 points. Logically speaking, if Shen Yourong really dislikes her, it should have decreased since they met at the mall, even though they didn't see each other, and Shen Yourong said some ambiguous things to her.
It's one thing if things don't decrease but increase instead.
Zheng Yulu, on the other hand, has a bond index as high as 62 points?
This was something he hadn't expected.
Of the four people in Shen Youyou's dormitory, the one he interacted with the most, besides Shen Youyou, was Zheng Yumeng, whom he had been spending the last two days with.
As for Zheng Yulu and Tang Wei, they were just acquaintances who would nod to each other when they met. If I remember correctly, this was only the second time I had met Zheng Yulu. The first time was at a joint dinner between the two dormitories. At that time, I was only focused on pursuing Shen Youyou and didn't pay attention to Zheng Yulu. Although I was amazed by the two sisters' similar appearances, I didn't look at them much because I was in front of Shen Youyou.
It seems like this girl's bond level is a bit abnormal!
A few girls were chattering away, and Zheng Yulu kept glancing at Ning Xiuyang, who was driving, through the rearview mirror. She couldn't quite describe the feeling in her eyes.
Before long, Ning Xiuyang drove to the parking space.
You Jinyu, who had been waiting there, stepped forward with a smile on her face, wearing an employee badge around her neck and holding a folder in her hand.
"You've arrived."
You Jinyu greeted him with a smile, but her eyes held a hint of reproach as she looked at Ning Xiuyang, as if she was still bothered by their earlier conversation.
"Sister You~"
After getting off the bus, Zheng Yumeng greeted everyone and then introduced them to Shen Youyou and the others one by one.
After the introductions, the group, led by You Jinyu, headed towards the elevator.
Zheng Yumeng spoke up, "Sister You, the room is full with five of us. Could you possibly lower the rent a bit? We're all students from out of town, and our families have limited financial resources. We rent this place mainly so we can work part-time to earn some tuition and living expenses..."
Zheng Yumeng deliberately played the victim.
Tang Wei followed closely behind.
Both of them often work outside, so they naturally have no problem with social skills.
Even the usually shy Zheng Yulu chimed in with a few words.
Shen Youyou remained silent throughout, not because she didn't want to speak or was afraid of social interaction, but because Ning Xiuyang's presence made her feel awkward.
Stepping into the elevator, You Jinyu smiled at Zheng Yumeng and the others, saying, "You all keep calling me 'sister,' so I can't refuse to give you a discount. Last night, after your senior Ning told me about it, I discussed it with the landlord. The landlord said that since you're all girls, as long as you maintain the apartment well, the rent won't be a problem. He can give you an extra 150 yuan off. How about that?"
