Chapter 82: Fear Me!

After talking to Ziqi, they realized that they had both been hoodwinked by the landlord.

Auntie Tang thought that the house was rented as one unit; however, when Chen Fan was away, the landlord had subleased a room in the house to the girl.

The Lakeside Community was mid range development in the Chu Zhou City. It was fully furnished and therefore was highly sought after by renters.

To rent the entire house would cost over two thousand yuan; however, renting a single room would be much more affordable. So affordable that even Ziqi had risen to the bait.

“Where is the landlord?” Chen Fan asked.

“She had immigrated to the US. Her son is a permanent residence in the US. She is back only once or twice a year to collect rent.” Ziqi said as she looked at Chen Fan cautiously.

Although it had been three months since the last time she saw him, Ziqi didn’t forget who Chen Fan was.

He had kicked Boss Yang out of the Coco bar with only one word and brought Brother Dong to his knees.

Rumor had it that he was friends with Zhou Tianhao, the magnet of the Chu Zhou City.

Zhou Tianhao had heard many stories about Zhou Tianhao. Therefore she knew that Zhou Tianhao was a very influential figure in the city. Although she knew from common sense that elements in some of the stories were exaggerated, she could still feel the hefty clout of Zhou Tianhao in the Chu Zhou City.

After Chen Fan had claimed the bar was under his protection, she had ceased to see any unsavory characters at the bar. Even Brother Dong had changed his att.i.tude toward Sister Yin on his occasional visits. With business booming, Ziqi got a raise and therefore could afford to live somewhere more expensive.

Otherwise, she could never afford to live in a mid tier community with her previous salary.

“She is gone to the US?” Chen Fan grunted.

He conceded that it was impossible for him to tack down the landlord.

If the landlord were still in Jiang Bei, Chu Fan should be able to locate her in no time thanks to his newly acquired resources.

“Xiao Fan, are you going to kick me out?” Ziqi plastered on a sad face while glancing at Chen Fan’s face surrept.i.tiously.

“Waah! I have paid a year worth of rent ahead of time. Five thousand of those came from Sister Yin. If you kick me out of here, I won’t even have enough for tuition.”

“Fine, fine.” Chen Fan was amused by the girl’s distress. “I won’t kick you out.”

No one would care if she paid rent or not. She didn’t have the official leasing contract, and therefore it was illegal for her to stay in there.

Chen Fan stood up and said, “I have other places to stay; I am just here to pack up some of my stuff.”

“Have you eaten? It’s on me. We have lots to catch up.”

“Really?” A smile broke over Ziqi’s face. She shouted excitedly:”Awesome! Why don’t we invite Sister Yin as well?”

“Sure.” Chen Fan said.

Since Chen Fan had already acquired the Yin Crystals, he should be able to complete Misty Mountain Array. Therefore, he would give away this ordinary house to someone in need of accommodation in a heartbeat.

When they arrived at the entrance to Chen Fan’s mansion at the top of the mountain, surprise started to flicker in Sister Yin’s eyes.

She always had very complicated feelings toward Chen Fan.

Chen Yin first befriended Chen Fan and helped him because she felt in debt to him for his rescue. After getting to know the boy, the boy started to grow on her, and she decided to take him under her wings.

However, what had happened at the Coco Bar revealed that Chen Fan didn’t need any protection at all.

“I was convinced that Chen Fan was a rich kid who is bored of his bubble and seeked some thrill in the real world.”

Sister Yin thought to herself many times.

From then on, she cut off from Chen Fan completely.

She believed that since the two of them belonged to two different worlds, there was no reason to force friends.h.i.+p upon each other.

The more she saw of the real world, the more disillusioned she was about befriending someone who was out of her league. The more she forced to become a friends, the more hurtful it would be in the end when reality sunk in.

They found a mom and pop restaurant near the community and ordered food.

Chen Fan had ordered many dishes, and most of them were Ziqi’s favorites. However, he barely moved his chopsticks during the entire time.

Ever since he had used the Essence Gathering Pill, eating was unnecessary for Chen Fan. He only sampled a couple of dishes for their flavors.

“Xiao Fan, when are you going to come back to Coco? Li Li, Nan Nan and the rest of them miss you a lot.” Chen Yin said casually.

She had spent enough time with Chen Fan to know that despite his wealthy background, he was very down to earth. Other than his slightly reserved personality, no one would know he was a blue-blooded teenager from a rich family.
