Chapter 3 The Girl Next Door
"Alright." Nanrong Wanqing gently massaged her temples and said, "He’s just a coarse person, no need to bicker with him over every little thing. Right now, the most important thing is Grandpa’s health."
"Hmph!"
Watching Ling Chen swagger away, Su Lin was so angry she gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath: "You just wait."
Back at the courier company, Ling Chen finished handing over the payment for the goods and then carried the ancient clock straight to a nearby pawnshop, trading it for five hundred yuan.
He made less than two thousand yuan a month, so this five hundred yuan was a considerable gain for him.
With money in his pocket, Ling Chen generously bought a case of ice-cold beer and some marinated snacks, and headed straight home.
He lived in the Old City of East Sea City, which was full of buildings that were forty or fifty years old. Because the environment was average, the rent was relatively cheap - three hundred yuan a month.
Upon entering his home, the room was stifling hot, and these cheap rental houses didn’t have air conditioning, just an old fan.
Ling Chen took off his sweaty shirt, sitting shirtless on the balcony, enjoying the cool evening breeze while drinking ice-cold beer and eating marinated snacks, his face showing utter contentment.
After a few bottles of beer, Ling Chen sat with his legs crossed and, on a whim, he began to hum a popular tune from years ago.
