Chapter 252 The Neighbor Ran Away with the Baby 1
The heat in Wuhan in June was unbearable.
The old air conditioner in the bedroom was not cooling enough but was very noisy.
Suddenly, a knock sounded at the door. Jiang Ping covered his ears, not intending to get up and open the door.
The new neighbor brought a small egg tart.
Her face was full of embarrassment at her social failure.
The original owner, Gao Luping, was an honest, hardworking city dweller.
You made a bad friend in your past life.
She gets entangled with Li Xiaobai, a self-reliant and enthusiastic neighbor who came to Jiangcheng pregnant.
The original owner scrimped and saved to buy this old, dilapidated apartment, and even after buying it, he still had to pay off the mortgage, so he definitely had to be even more frugal with his meals.
Li Xiaobai liked to come over for a free meal when the original owner was on vacation.
After eating, she complained that the side dishes like "steamed eggs," "hot and sour shredded potatoes," and "shredded pork with vermicelli" were not nutritious enough. Touching her pregnant belly, she launched into a long rant, insisting that the bad food was Gao Luping's fault for not taking care of herself.
At this point, the original owner only thought that her friend's pregnancy had damaged her brain.
Who knew that Li Xiaobai was so good at tormenting people's lives?
After discussing it, she dragged the original owner to accompany her to the hospital for a check-up.
Even after dark, the original owner had to accompany her for a walk.
Even when going to the supermarket, she would choose a time when the original owner was at home.
Li Xiaobai also has a small pet dog at home, which was given to her by one of her male friends, but it is unknown.
The puppy eventually became the original owner's task.
I need to take the puppy out to poop every morning or night.
These "good" days lasted for several months.
The original owner finally realized that Li Xiaobai was invading her life.
Working overtime is tiring enough as it is.
Li Xiaobai would call in the middle of the night crying, mostly about her loyal boyfriend going on blind dates, her backup boyfriend getting engaged, and her simp studying abroad, but they all loved her, and this love was too heavy.
The original owner was so worried that if he didn't get proper rest, he would suddenly die.
And then there's the meager allowance I earn each month from my part-time job.
Aside from those paying off their mortgages, there's nothing else left after spending some time with Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai is like that digital evaporator.
They came into my life so that I could experience the life of an animal more deeply.
The original owner had considered changing jobs and moving away.
But he found himself unable to escape this old, run-down house.
The only time I can leave is when I'm at work; quitting to find a new job is absolutely impossible. Even when I try to sell or rent my house online at a low price, no one is interested.
It was as if they were deliberately trapping her here.
She tried staying in another city after a company team-building event instead of returning to Jiangcheng, but somehow ended up coming back on her own.
Perhaps the original owner's cold face was too obvious.
Li Xiaobai turned the tables, feeling that the original owner had been the one to suffer, and complained to her male friends.
The original owner's phone will be briefly bombarded.
Several backup suitors, loyal dogs, and sycophants would take turns coming to warn her.
including but not limited to:
"Xiaobai only bothered you because you're a nice person."
Don't be ungrateful.
"If you dare make Xiaobai unhappy, I'll [illegible]!"
"You're just an ordinary person, it's your honor to make Xiaobai happy."
...
The original owner became numb to it after hearing it so many times.
Especially after figuring out Li Xiaobai's entanglements with others.
Honest people have their own principles.
She could only try her best to keep her head clear, preferring to have her phone disconnected and in arrears rather than answer Li Xiaobai's calls.
Later, I simply got a spare phone and a new number for work.
I bought another folding bed and put it in the office.
Despite the surprised looks from her colleagues, she had been working at the company for three to five years, only going back home once or twice a month in the middle of the night to check on the house and see if Li Xiaobai's CEO husband had picked her up.
Thank you for the company's strict property security.
Li Xiaobai tried to sneak into the building several times but failed.
Instead, I made several more male friends.
Once those sense of crisis kicked in, they stopped bothering the original owner whenever they wanted.
One trip after another.
Li Xiaobai's twins are already in elementary school.
President Lu from the neighboring Hongcheng has not yet come looking for us.
The original owner could only use a virtual phone card, so she deliberately leaked Li Xiaobai's information, causing President Lu's marriage to fall through, and leading to the plot where President Lu's fiancée humiliated Li Xiaobai but was slapped in the face.
The original owner did good deeds but dared not leave their name.
He could only pray in his heart that he would be released by the strange force soon.
She must sell the house and get away from Jiangcheng.
Go to a city that is far away from Jiangcheng and Hongcheng.
*
It is clear.
The original owner's wish could not be fulfilled.
Otherwise, there would be no need for the mission takers to come.
Li Xiaobai was probably deeply impressed by this stubborn guy with whom she had only been friends for a short year.
Even after returning to Hong City with President Lu.
She would also frequently call the original owner of Versailles to remind him that her own life was too extravagant and not as cozy as the home-cooked meals prepared by her neighbor.
President Lu has some kind of serious illness.
Watching his wife's security footage, he discovered she missed the neighbor's cooking, so he sent someone to resign the original owner's job and dragged the person to Hongcheng.
The original owner cooked for a whole month at the Lu family mansion in Hongcheng.
My hands are about to break.
The food kept shaking while cooking, and it shook even more violently when I added seasonings. I accidentally made Li Xiaobai's food too salty, too sweet, too sour, and sour a few times.
Li Xiaobai realized that her former friend had changed.
The meal became unappetizing, and they took the initiative to end the scene of the friends' reunion.
The original owner did not receive the part-time wages he was entitled to.
Because Li Xiaobai said that everyone is a friend.
Talking about money hurts feelings.
President Lu agreed with his wife, and also felt that the original owner wasn't exactly a famous chef at a restaurant, so letting her come to the mansion to see the world would be enough to offset her salary.
At last.
The original owner could only go home with his Parkinson's disease-affected hands.
...
Other people's wonderful lives are irrelevant to the original owner. She found a new job but found that she still couldn't sell her house and couldn't leave Jiangcheng city. She could only continue to work to save money to pay off her mortgage.
This continued until the original owner was in his thirties.
Li Xiaobai returned to her old, dilapidated apartment for her second child.
A group of married and unmarried men also took this opportunity to reunite in Jiangcheng.
The original owner simply shouldered his backpack and left.
The bag contained her usual necessities: a tent, a change of clothes, toiletries, a sleeping bag and pillow, bread and biscuits, a water bottle, her ID card, household registration booklet, and bank cards...
It's clear that the original owner had been waiting for this day for a long time.
However, this time the original owner hid outside for quite a while.
Because Li Xiaobai and President Lu caused quite a stir.
President Lu had to shuttle between Hongcheng and Jiangcheng.
They even bought the upstairs and downstairs apartments and combined them to make Li Xiaobai's living space more comfortable.
The original owner's house was actually the most suitable.
Li Xiaobai refused, saying that he had been friends with the original owner for many years, and although they had not been in contact, he did not want his friend to lose his home.
The main reason is that I knew I would definitely want to scream.
"You're the one who made me lose my home!"
Forced to leave home but unable to go too far, the original owner spent another five years away from home before returning.
If it weren't for the mortgage I still have...
She probably wants to follow the example of young people and become some kind of "Sanhe God".
Ugh.
Anyway, since the original owner kept sleeping under bridges, in parks, in restrooms, in bank cubicles, and in company offices, many people thought she was in debt and dared not go home.
I've lost face big time.
Fortunately, Jiangcheng is far enough away from my hometown.
