God of Racing-Chapter 366 - 359: Landlord

Successfully driving away Lu Jinxuan, Yu Sangwan couldn't be happier.

Although the house wasn't tidied up yet, just being in a space without him felt like a sudden return to freedom.

After a tiring afternoon, Yu Sangwan took a bath and fell into bed asleep.

The next day, as soon as she arrived at the company, Yu Sangwan casually opened the website and saw that the most conspicuous spot on the homepage featured an interview.

...It was the one she did with Dr. MARK.

Yu Sangwan smirked, "It's published..."

But her smile didn't last long. Because in her line of sight appeared the byline... Reporter: Lin Shupei!

"What?" Yu Sangwan's face turned stiff, and she shot up, clenching her fists in agitation. Lin Shupei! No wonder he ignored her that day; he was scheming all along! Why did her hard work get taken over by him so easily?

In her youthful rashness, she rushed to the news team to confront Lin Shupei.

"Team Leader!"

Yu Sangwan charged in, not masking her emotions at all.

Lin Shupei looked up, surprise overtaking his expression.

He stood up and pulled Yu Sangwan out, "Yu Sangwan, what are you doing here? It's work hours, why are you leaving your post?"

"Team Leader!" Yu Sangwan found it amusing, going straight to the point, "Don't you think you went too far?"

To be questioned by a subordinate like this, Lin Shupei immediately showed a stern face, "Too far? Are you talking to me? Let me tell you, I'm about to be promoted to Deputy Editor. If you dare ruin this for me, you'll never return to the news team!"

"Team Leader..." Yu Sangwan was enraged, feeling threatened?

"What else do you want to say?" The team leader gazed at her coldly, "You're just an intern, do your job honestly! Don't keep thinking about competing with your superiors for credit! Don't forget, your internship evaluation is written by me!"

Having said that, he left with a flourish.

Yu Sangwan stood there, feeling frustrated, and stomped her foot, "Bastard!"

With this incident disrupting her, Yu Sangwan spent the entire day feeling drained. Returning to her rented place, the sky seemed overcast, about to rain.

She took out her key to open the door, but her phone rang. Yu Sangwan had to answer it at the door, "Hello..."

It was Rong Jin calling, saying he was on duty and couldn't come back. "Please, help me collect the clothes on the balcony, the key is in the flowerpot at the door."

"Sure, no problem."

Yu Sangwan agreed and put away her phone. They were neighbors anyway, and besides, Rong Jin had saved her life, helping with something small like this was nothing. She took the key and entered Rong Jin's apartment.

Just after she had collected Rong Jin's clothes from the balcony, a day's worth of rain started pouring.

"Oh no, my own clothes!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

In her rush, Yu Sangwan didn't have time to put down Rong Jin's clothes and hurriedly ran outside, only to bump into a solid figure.

"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, looking up at Lu Jinxuan, who appeared there again, "You..."

Lu Jinxuan squinted his alluring eyes, scrutinizing her.

Why was she running out from next door? And what was she holding in her hands? Men's clothes?

"You!" Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brows, grabbing her wrist sharply, "Let's go!"

Yu Sangwan reacted, struggling fiercely, "Lu Jinxuan, let go of me! What are you doing here again?"

"What is this?" Lu Jinxuan shot her a fierce glance, snatching the clothes from her hands and throwing them to the ground in anger, seething, "Trash!"

His action provoked Yu Sangwan's disgust, her mouth agape in shock as she pointed at Lu Jinxuan, "You have problems, don't you? Trash? Who are you to call others trash? People like you are the real trash!"

"You..." Lu Jinxuan's face turned livid, evidently angered.

At this moment, Yu Sangwan's phone rang again in her pocket; it was Rong Jin calling.

Before she could answer, Lu Jinxuan seized the phone, pressed the answer button, and put it to his ear.

"Hey, give it back!" Yu Sangwan jumped to grab the phone.

But Lu Jinxuan extended his arm, pressing down on her head. It seemed as if he wasn't using any force, but Yu Sangwan couldn't jump up.

"Don't move, don't make noise!"

Lu Jinxuan held Yu Sangwan with one hand while answering the call with the other.

Rong Jin's voice came through the phone to Lu Jinxuan's ear, "It's raining, thank you... If it weren't for you, all my clothes would have been pointless to wash. Can a single man like me easily wash clothes? Just put the key back in the flowerpot... Hey, Yu Sangwan, why aren't you speaking? Hey, hey?"

So she was just helping to collect clothes, and the other party called her 'Yu Sangwan', which didn't sound close. Lu Jinxuan's expression softened slightly, hanging up the phone without saying a word.

"Hmm." He handed the phone back to Yu Sangwan with one extended arm.

"Robber!" Yu Sangwan glared at him angrily, "What are you doing here again? Haven't we already ended? Or do you want me to sue you for trespassing?"

Lu Jinxuan looked down at her, raising his right hand to the wall behind her, speaking with a teasing tone, "We ended? Who said that?"

"..." Yu Sangwan was taken aback. Wasn't it? Didn't he already have new loves? And two of them at that!

Lu Jinxuan hadn't rested well, with heavy dark circles and visible bloodshot in his eyes. He lifted his left hand, holding up some documents, "This is the house purchase contract; the house is mine now! Do you still want to report me for trespassing?"

"What?" Yu Sangwan was taken aback, snatching the documents from his hand, and opened them to check... It was indeed true.

She lifted her head and glared at Lu Jinxuan, finding it unbelievable, "Do you have too much money to burn?"

Lu Jinxuan gave a slight nod, not denying it, "You can think of it that way."

"You..." Yu Sangwan was frustrated, clenching her fists tightly, glaring at him, "What do you mean now? Are you going to kick me out?"

"No." Lu Jinxuan shook his head, and an unexpected hint of a smile appeared in his eyes, "I just want you to know that I'm your landlord now."

A sense of frustration clogged Yu Sangwan's chest.

She wasn't a wealthy person; renting this place had already cost her a lot of savings, and she still had her father to support... All of these were pressing real-life issues. Dignity was important, but no one could escape the reality of facing life.

Gritting her teeth, Yu Sangwan raised her head with an air of pride, "I've paid rent, living here is reasonable and legal! If you want to drive me out, I won't leave."

She thought Lu Jinxuan's intention was simply to make her homeless, so she would fall back into his arms... but she was wrong.

Lu Jinxuan kept his face stern and nodded slightly, "Okay, but starting today, I'm living here."

"

What?" Yu Sangwan was utterly shocked, thinking she misheard, pointing to the single apartment smaller than the Original House's master bathroom, "Are you sure?"

Lu Jinxuan's deep eyes were unreadable.

His thin lips parted slightly, "Yes."

"..." Yu Sangwan chuckled, instinctively clenching her fists. She looked up at him, declaring war. "Fine, I'll leave! Refund my rent!"

She spread her white, clean palm in front of Lu Jinxuan.

Lu Jinxuan raised two slender fingers, pushing her hand aside, "I won't refund, and I won't let you leave."

Yu Sangwan couldn't understand, what had she done to offend this man, to have him cling to her like this?

"Lu Jinxuan, show some mercy! You're so... you're so improper, can you not drag me into it? Get this straight, I didn't leave on my own! It was your woman who drove me away!" Yu Sangwan, becoming agitated, spoke with her dimples on her left cheek appearing and disappearing.

"I'd rather die than play the night game of juggling women with you!"

"What?"

Lu Jinxuan furrowed his brows. Even as a man a few years her senior, accustomed to all kinds of debauchery, he still found such words ridiculous!

"You..."

Lu Jinxuan faltered, angered.

Yu Sangwan shouted, her eyes brimming with tears, holding her breath, ready to leave, but Lu Jinxuan quickly grabbed her.

"Let go of me!"

Yu Sangwan was already in a bad mood today, and now her temper flared uncontrollably. "Why am I so unlucky? Every time things don't go well, you have to step in and make it worse. What grudge do I have with you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jinxuan frowned. Hearing her say that, he couldn't help but feel perplexed.
