80 The Vicious Landlady (1/2)
At the Tiger's Roar Gentleman Club.
One of Black Tiger Gang's territories.
Dongfang Yangwei laid on the recliner, two female masseurs working on his back and his legs.
Luo Bing sat next to him like a slave, smiling from ear to ear, ”Master Dongfang, don't be mad! It was only the School's sports day! So what if you lose, it's nothing! What shitty ass gold medals can they provide, we can't be bothered!”
”The f*ck you know about it?!” Dongfang spat, ”Sports is my zone, I CANNOT lose to that asshole!”
”But… We're already very far behind…” Luo Bing said sheepishly.
”Do you think that I need you to tell me that?” Dongfang rolled his eyes at him and said coolly, ”I have an idea – that son of the b*tch will not be able to compete tomorrow! Then, we can easily overtake him!”
”You have an idea? That's great!” Luo Bing grinned, ”If that is so, we can relax today, how about having some fun time at the brothel?”
”Hehe, you go ahead. Tonight, I will be sleeping with my Xiang Xiang.” Dongfang wiggled his brows and laughed darkly.
”Oh? Master Dongfang has a plan to hit on Lin Xiang?” Luo Bing's face was filled with surprise.
”Need I explain? I always get the woman I want – I have never failed before!” Dongfang's laugher grew sinister.
...
At the slums, west side of the city.
Lin had just gotten home and found the front door ajar.
”Oh? Nan, I thought you said you were going out with your friends?” Lin walked in and placed the grocery bags on the table.
When she raised her head, she saw that the person in her home was not Lin Nan.
”Ms. Lin, you're back!” That was a middle-aged old hag in her fifties.
Her hair looked like it had not been washed for a long time – it was very greasy.
She was wearing loose pajamas. Her chest was flat and her belly jutted out. Her figure was a misery to behold.
There was a stick of cigarette in between her fingers. From time to time, she would take a puff, resembling the landladies in television dramas.
”Sis Wang? Are you here to collect next month's rent? Please wait for a minute, I will go get it for you,” Lin said.
She also happened to be the actual landlady here. She pursed her lips and said, ”No need to worry. I'm just here to inform you that I'll be raising next month's rent.
”Raise the rent?” in her bewilderment, Lin mumbled, ”Sis Wang… The rent has just been raised last year…. Why…”
The landlady cut her off, and said nonchalantly, ”The house is mine. I will decide when the rent should be raised!”
”How… How much?” Lin asked worriedly.
”Eight hundred.” The landlady said.
”What?” Lin was taken aback. ”The rent was originally one thousand six, now you want to raise it by another eight hundred? I could rent a small house in the city at this price!”
The landlady grunted, ”Go ahead and rent a small house in the city by all means. After all, there are only two days left before the month ends. I can rent it out to someone else once you've moved out.”
”This…” Lin was speechless for awhile.
Two days? How could she possibly find a suitable house in two days?
What's more, her little brother had been actively looking for a job; he even made some new friends.
