21: Chapter 21 Reluctantly

"Since we've moved in, we have the right to use this place, including the food inside!"

"My Golden Grandson doesn't eat much anyway. What's the big deal about him drinking a bit of your cola? Why make such a fuss!"

"My Golden Grandson is so outstanding; drinking your cola now is giving you face! He's going to be a man of great achievement in the future!"

"You think we even care about this pittance of food you have!"

"If it weren't for this Typhoon! My Golden Grandson would be drinking cola by the crate at home!"

Zhao Haitang's chest heaved with rage at Wang Dongmei's outburst.

Seeing Zhao Haitang's momentum weaken, Wang Dongmei fished out two crumpled hundred-yuan bills from her bag and threw them in Zhao Haitang's face. "Girls nowadays have no tolerance at all. It's not like I'm not paying you."

"Two hundred yuan! That's more than enough!"

Zhao Haitang was so angry she was breathless, unable to even muster a retort.

The resident of 801, who was recording a video, was currently live-streaming in the group. Everyone else seeing Zhao Haitang like this was too angry for words.

Wang Dongmei even looked quite smug when she saw 801 recording the video.

Pointing at 801's lens, she said, "Look, record it! Let everyone see the true colors of girls these days!"

The door to 803 wasn't closed. Upon hearing Wang Dongmei's words, Zhao Haitang turned to look at 0801 in a fury.

801 didn't actually have bad intentions at first; they just thought Wang Dongmei was funny and wanted to see her get snubbed, but they didn't expect things to develop like this.

After 801 put away the camera, Zhao Haitang said nothing. She picked up the two hundred-yuan bills from the floor and went back into the room.

Ye Qingqing didn't know what happened after that.

After all, the Building Chat Group wouldn't know what happened inside Zhao Haitang's room.

But the residents who watched the live stream all had alarm bells ringing in their hearts.

What would they do if they encountered someone like Wang Dongmei?

The most worried were the residents on the 3rd floor.

With Wang Dongmei's scene on the 8th floor, it would be difficult for the people on the 3rd floor to move up now.

By the 5th day, the water had submerged the 3rd floor.

But no one in the building was willing to take in new residents.

Because it was already the 5th day.

The Typhoon hadn't weakened, and food was running out.

Rescue calls were made one after another.

But no rescue arrived.

After the 3rd floor was flooded, half of the 4th floor was also submerged.

The people from the 3rd and 4th floors had nowhere to go and could only temporarily move into the corridors of the upper floors.

As a result, the residents upstairs were dissatisfied because these people had no toilets; they would knock on doors to use the bathroom every now and then, borrow the bathroom for a shower, or even ask for water.

Sometimes they even went in to cook.

The residents were complaining incessantly. Just then, the Building Leader spoke up.

Building Leader (902): [@Qingqing Yixia (3203), I remember you rented two apartments, didn't you, girl? In this time of natural disaster and crisis, we're all neighbors. You can't live in both apartments anyway. Could you let the people from the 3rd and 4th floors make do in your other empty apartment?]

Building Leader (902): [Rescue can't reach us right now, and living in the corridors every day isn't right either, don't you think?]

Ye Qingqing, who was originally cooking in the kitchen, suddenly felt her phone vibrate, and a bad premonition surged in her heart.

When she opened her phone to look, her vision went dark.

Ye Qingqing was about to explode on the spot. Was the Building Leader out of his mind? She had never sent a message in the Building Chat Group, so why did he @ her?

She really hadn't expected the Building Leader to pull this stunt. Now many people in the group must have seen it and known she was living alone. If the food ran out later and human nature turned ugly, the consequences for a woman living alone like Ye Qingqing would be unthinkable.

When Lin Wanrou saw the person the Building Leader @-ed, she found the profile more and more familiar and quickly handed the phone to Fu Peisheng.

"Brother Fu, look, is this person Ye Qingqing? She deleted my contact info, but looking at this profile picture, I think it's very likely her."

Hearing Ye Qingqing's name, Fu Peisheng's brow furrowed slightly. It had been a few days since they last met at the supermarket.

He hadn't expected Ye Qingqing not to contact him proactively. At this moment, Fu Peisheng was very displeased.

But Lin Wanrou's next words made Fu Peisheng start to think.

"Brother Fu, we live on the 5th floor, and half of the 4th floor is already flooded. I don't know when this flood will recede. If the 5th floor gets flooded eventually, we'll have nowhere to go."

"Ye Qingqing likes you so much. If you ask her to let you live in her apartment, Brother Fu, I'm sure she'll listen to you."

Fu Peisheng was swayed by Lin Wanrou's words, and an idea formed in his mind.

Lin Wanrou immediately @-ed Ye Qingqing in the group chat.

Little Silly Hiyori (503): [Qingqing, I didn't expect it to really be you. If Brother Fu hadn't told me this profile picture was yours, I wouldn't have known you deleted me as a friend.]

After Lin Wanrou finished speaking, she immediately pulled Fu Peisheng into the group chat.

Fu Peisheng: [Qingqing, stop messing around. The Building Leader is right. If you have an empty room, give it up. Since you like me, I'll reluctantly agree to move in.]

Fu Peisheng: [Not just me, after I move up, I'll also share the room with the residents from the 3rd and 4th floors.]

Fu Peisheng's speech after being pulled into the group chat stunned everyone in the Building Chat Group.

These people originally thought Lin Wanrou's speech was bizarre enough, but they didn't expect the man Lin Wanrou pulled in to be even more baffling.

However, the people from the 3rd and 4th floors, as well as the households whose corridors were occupied by them, clapped in approval.

Zhuge Liang Quietly (303): [Why didn't you say there was an empty room earlier!]

AAAA Egg Yolk Wholesale Manager Chen (401): [Yeah! Making us live in this corridor for so long, how can this person be so wicked?]

Qiqizi (302): [Girls these days are all selfish and only think of their own interests.]

Tixue Xingche (403): [Yeah, yeah. This girl's boyfriend is living with another woman now, and she isn't even afraid the man will run away.]

Of course, there were also clear-headed people who, seeing these baffling remarks in the Building Chat Group, turned into keyboard warriors.

Cai Wenji Leg Burger (242): [I have to say, these people have some nerve. Look at what that guy said?]

Cai Wenji Leg Burger (242): ["Since you like me, I'll reluctantly agree to move in."]

Cai Wenji Leg Burger (242): [Seriously, bro? You think you're all that? A rotten cucumber who's already living with another woman, and now you're shamelessly trying to get an empty room just because you saw someone has one? Good heavens! Have some shame!]
