My God Raising Game

Chapter 57 Landlady's Favorability +1!

"I bought them, but my luck wasn't on my side!" Su Xiangrong said dejectedly. "You don't know, those studded shoes from Valentino are very expensive."

"How much does it cost?"

Lu Jiuling was curious.

"Ten thousand!"

"So expensive?"

Lu Jiuling clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Those shoes are luxury items, okay?!"

Su Xiangrong gave her a look that said, "You really have no taste." She continued, "Women's products are expensive to begin with, and if they're labeled as luxury goods, they're even more expensive!"

"horrible!"

Lu Jiuling's commentary.

"Of course!" Su Xiangrong perked up, transforming into a life coach: "So 690, you have to study hard, strive to get into a good university, and find a good job!"

"Otherwise, even if I work myself to the bone for a month, I won't be able to buy my wife a pair of high heels!"

"By the way, don't buy affordable luxury items!"

"That thing is a man-made term, used to prey on women who are vain but lack financial resources!"

When Su Xiangrong talked about these things, she spoke eloquently, like an expert: "Some women can't afford brand names, but they are vain, so they can only settle for second best and buy a sense of psychological superiority."

"In fact, buying affordable luxury goods means you don't have much money, so you might as well live a more down-to-earth life."

"Mmm, it's been a real eye-opener!"

Lu Jiuling found the conversation boring, but he didn't skimp on the emotional value he was given.

no way,
Who can blame me when the landlady has such a great figure?

Seeing Lu Jiuling say this, Su Xiangrong became even more interested in talking: "Let me tell you, 'affordable luxury' is just a means for capital to exploit women who don't have money, making them think that they can do it too. In reality, it's a trap."

"If you have a girlfriend and she wants to buy all sorts of affordable luxury goods, absolutely do not buy them. You'd be better off gritting your teeth and spending money on designer brands like Chanel and Hermes!"

"If I don't like it anymore later, I can sell it secondhand to recoup some money."

"Okay, I've got it!"

Lu Jiuling changed his position, resting his head on his right arm, and watched the landlady perform.

"I'm not buying affordable luxury goods!"

Su Xiangrong curled her lip, looking down on her: "Neither good enough nor bad enough, you'll just make a fool of yourself!"

"So, 690, you have to work harder!"

"Supporting a woman is very expensive!"

"You're like my pair of Valentino studded shoes. Even if you became a gigolo, you'd have to serve at least three or four rich women to earn the money for those shoes."

Su Xiangrong's words were clearly meant to be encouraging, but they just didn't sound right to people.

"hehe."

Lu Jiuling chuckled. "Me, an extraordinary being, becoming a gigolo?"
Who can afford to play this game?

"Uh……"

Upon hearing Lu Jiuling's laughter, Su Xiangrong belatedly realized that her words had been somewhat offensive, so she tried to salvage the situation: "Once you get a girlfriend, I'll give her my opinion!"

"Never bring a gold digger home!"

"Thank you in advance, Sister Su!"

"From now on, call me Sister Rong!"

"Sister Su" is a term used by strangers, while "Sister Rong" is a term used between friends. The fact that Su Xiangrong asked Lu Jiuling to call her that clearly shows they were having a great time chatting.

This can also be seen from their body language.

The landlady was initially wary of Lu Jiuling, and when she squatted down, she kept her nightgown between her thighs to avoid exposing herself. Now that she was less vigilant, the hem of her nightgown had slipped down quite a bit without her noticing.

"Sister Rong, put on another layer of clothing, be careful not to catch a cold!"

Lu Jiuling offered a tactful piece of advice, but he hadn't expected the landlady's underwear to be so conservative.

"It's nothing, I'm perfectly healthy..."

Su Xiangrong was speaking when she suddenly remembered something. She quickly raised her hand, grabbed the hem of her skirt and pulled it up, then moved the phone camera away.

Lu Jiuling thought the landlady would hang up the phone, but she didn't.

After about three minutes, Su Xiangrong reappeared in front of the camera, but this time she was wearing a coat and sitting on the sofa.

Lu Jiuling was stunned.

No, you still want to talk?
"Where were we talking about?"

Su Xiangrong recalled the topic.

"..."

Lu Jiuling was speechless. You're getting a little too carried away with your conversation.
Actually, Su Xiangrong was scared, so she had to find something to do to distract herself. Before she knew it, she found it very enjoyable to be Lu Jiuling's life mentor and impart life experience to him.

The feeling of educating others and having them listen attentively is so satisfying, even more so than watching those short dramas about female protagonists' triumphant comebacks.

"690, let me tell you, if you can't find the right girlfriend, your life is over!"

"Is it that exaggerated?"

Lu Jiuling curled his lip.

"That's for sure!"

Su Xiangrong began by giving an example: "Sister Liu, who plays mahjong with me, is particularly good at dating. Even though she's married, she can still get several ex-boyfriends to spend money on her."

"Then I'll look for someone like Sister Rong from now on!"

Lu Jiuling immediately provided emotional value.

"What are you thinking? Someone like me is hard to find!"

Su Xiangrong's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled.

I never noticed before, but Lu Jiuling has a good eye for talent.

or,

How about we reduce his rent?

It must have been tough for him to study in another city all by himself!

"..."

Lu Jiuling was speechless. I was just being polite, and you're already getting worked up.

However, it must be said that the landlady certainly has reason to be proud.

With that alluring figure, that domineering bear even more so than Xu Shaowei, and that peach I saw the other day—aside from possibly lacking intelligence and being greedy, her hard skills are absolutely undeniable.

Excellent!

"After so long, the shoe thief should be gone by now, right?"

Lu Jiuling didn't want to talk anymore, but he wouldn't say it directly. "Uh..."

Su was startled and looked at the security door: "I'll go check!"

The landlady, shuffling in her slippers, walked to the door, peered through the peephole, and listened intently.

"There's no sound outside!"

Su Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to go out to check if any shoes were missing from the shoe rack, but she didn't dare to.

"Don't go out, let's check it tomorrow morning!"

Lu Jiuling guessed Su Xiangrong's thoughts.

"Ok!"

Su Xiangrong gave up.

"Go to bed early, staying up late is a woman's worst enemy!"

Lu Jiuling knew when to stop and that they couldn't continue the conversation.

"It's only this late, why are you already asleep?" Su Xiangrong glanced at the time: "Huh? It's almost 1 a.m."

Am I really that talkative?
"Sister Rong, get some rest. I'll listen to your teachings again later!"

Lu Jiuling smiled.

Su Xiangrong originally wanted to say that it was okay to stay up late occasionally, but Lu Jiuling had already said goodnight.

"Bye-Bye!"

As soon as Su Xiangrong finished speaking, the other end of the video call ended.

This made the landlady a little unhappy.

Do you have to be so anxious?
However, upon further reflection, she realized that Lu Jiuling was hospitalized with food poisoning, and staying up too late was bad for his health, so she calmed down.

I clicked on the red envelope and sent 200 yuan.

A generous spirit is a virtue: Eat something good. When you come back, I'll cook you a big meal to help you recover.

……

Ding Dong!

Ding Dong!

Lu Jiuling hadn't even put his phone down when Su Xiangrong's message came through.

Lu Jiuling smiled when she saw the red envelope.

What does it mean?
It wasn't easy. He had paid Su Xiangrong almost three years' worth of rent, and this was the first time he had seen a return on his investment.

690: Thank you, Sister Rong, no need for the red envelope!
Ding Dong!

A person with great tolerance: Don't be polite with Sister Rong, just accept it!

Lu Jiuling couldn't help but chuckle, replied with "Get some rest," turned off his phone, and tossed it aside.

Even if Lu Jiuling didn't have 50,000 yuan in his backpack, he wouldn't take the red envelope.

Am I the kind of person who's short of two hundred yuan?

……

Su Xiangrong stayed up late last night and didn't wake up until 10 a.m.

Opening her eyes and looking at her phone, Su Xiangrong discovered that Lu Jiuling had not accepted the red envelope.

吆！
This kid has a lot of self-respect; he won't accept charity!

Su Xiangrong got out of bed, slipped on her slippers, and hurried to the hallway to check. Then she wanted to curse.

The shoes weren't lost, but there was something dirty inside one pair of strappy high heels.

"Trash, pervert, don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!"

Su Xiangrong started to exclaim, "A whole bunch of birdsong and fragrant flowers!"

So annoying!

690, come back right now and catch that pervert!
……

It's the third day now. All the survivors, including Lu Jiuling, have undergone two thorough physical examinations, and the hospital has allowed family members to visit them.

Lu Jiuling and Tang Lei were afraid that their families would worry, and since they had come all this way, it would cost money and they would have to take time off work, so they didn't tell their families at all.

However, in the afternoon, Principal Pang and Director Wang from the Academic Affairs Office arrived, carrying a fruit basket and a large amount of supplements.

As soon as we entered the ward, they were incredibly welcoming.

"Lu Jiuling, Tang Lei, how are you two recovering?"

Principal Pang was in his fifties, wearing a wig. Apart from having a rather large belly, he was very energetic and spoke with a strong voice.

"Good!"

Lu Jiuling had only heard Principal Pang speak at school assemblies and similar occasions; he had never had close contact with him in ordinary times.

"Principal Pang, Director Wang!" Tang Lei stood at attention and quickly greeted them, behaving like a dutiful grandson: "I'm fine too!"

"Get plenty of checkups, don't leave any hidden problems!" Principal Pang smiled and shook Lu Jiuling's hand: "Don't worry about the hospitalization costs, the school will cover them!"

"Thank you, principal!"

Tang Lei breathed a sigh of relief. During his previous check-up, he was worried that the hospitalization fee would be too expensive, so he asked the doctor in advance, and the doctor said that the school would cover it.

Tang Lei was still somewhat uneasy, but he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Principal Pang's promise with his own ears.

Director Wang was forty-five years old, in the prime of his life. He stood behind Principal Pang, scrutinizing the two boys through his glasses.

Like most students, Tang Lei was as obedient and well-behaved as a grandson when he met the school leaders. Lu Jiuling, on the other hand, did not show any fear or trepidation like a mouse seeing a cat; his attitude was casual and natural.

He truly deserves to be called a hero for saving his classmates.

"Thank you so much, Lu!"

Principal Pang held onto Lu Jiuling's hand tightly.

This incident is far too serious; it's so serious that Principal Pang and Director Wang, leaders of the Second Middle School, will be dismissed, investigated, or even imprisoned.

Tang Weimin, the homeroom teacher, took the entire class on a spring outing to an ancient town without permission. As a result, 35 people died. If it weren't for a student named Lu Jiuling, the whole class might have been wiped out.

Principal Pang was genuinely grateful to Lu Jiuling; as long as there were still people alive, it wasn't the worst situation.

Actually, on the night of the incident, he received a call from the Abnormal Situation Investigation Bureau and rushed over. However, at that time, Lu Jiuling and his team had to conduct an inspection to confirm that there was no potential risk of contamination before allowing family members to visit.

Now that the ban has been lifted, Principal Pang came over immediately.

"Lu Jiuling, Tang Lei, this incident is all Tang Weimin's fault. Of course, if you had reported to the Academic Affairs Office in advance that you were going on a spring outing, the school would have definitely sent someone to accompany you, and this tragedy would not have happened."

Principal Pang sighed.

Lu Jiuling raised an eyebrow. What did that mean?
Shaking the pot?

Upon hearing this accusation, Tang Lei panicked, instinctively shrank his neck, and lowered his head.
