Love Apartment: Yifei is my junior aunt

Chapter 482 Qiao is one foot taller, Fei is ten feet taller

Having figured everything out, Dumas looked at Yifei with a complex expression.

His trip back to China wasn't just to visit Joe, and his visit to the bar wasn't simply to ask for directions.

Just as Yifei had guessed, how could a normal person go to such lengths to ask for directions, venturing all the way to the depths of the bar?

Besides escaping the pursuit of the wealthy Elizabeth, Alexandre Dumas also returned to his homeland to see what kind of shady dealings were hidden in the Love Apartment.

Although he and Ziqiao haven't been in much contact these past few years, this invincible womanizing duo has now entered a "solo but not disbanded" mode.

However, Alexandre Dumas, who had long treated Ziqiao as his own son, still kept a close eye on his godson whom he was so proud of.

The specific method is through Ziqiao's Weibo and blog.

That's right, Ziqiao, who seems to be uninterested in anything except chasing girls, is actually a Weibo and blogging enthusiast who loves to share.

Alexandre Dumas always thought that Ziqiao's hobby was very bad. After all, every goose leaves a trace, and seemingly casual sharing on the Internet can yield a lot of information in the eyes of those who are interested. In fact, the father and son often used girls' blogs to analyze their personalities and then use them to woo girls.

People like them, aside from their clothes that attract beautiful women and their carefully disguised personas, shouldn't leave any unnecessary traces or records online. Doing so will only cause them unnecessary trouble.

Unexpectedly, Ziqiao's bad habit became the only solace for his godfather when he missed his godson.

He originally thought that Ziqiao would continue to roam freely after leaving him, but according to Ziqiao's Weibo and blog posts over the past year, he has actually been holed up in a small place called Love Apartment in Shanghai.

For most people, settling down permanently is a perfectly normal thing, but for these two womanizers and sales experts, it's not only unbelievable, but it's even considered unconventional.

As everyone knows, beautiful women and fools don't come in an endless stream in any one area.

If you stay in one place for a long time, not only will you have fewer and fewer prey and rich men, but you will also have more and more ex-girlfriends and enemies.

In other words, the longer Zi Qiao stays in one place, the greater the risk of him being caught.

Normal operation should be like this: fire a few shots and leave, fire a few shells and retreat.

Therefore, Ziqiao's long-term settlement behavior really made the free-spirited Alexandre Dumas curious and surprised. Of course, he felt more incredulous and unable to understand it.

You see, the reason he took this rascal as his godson was because he saw that the boy's nature was very similar to his own, and could even be said to be more so.

If you think of yourself as a free and unfettered cloud, then Yaozi Qiao is a bird that flies without feet.

The clouds may still have the possibility of staying, but once a bird without feet stops flying, all that awaits it is death.

Because no matter how big the world is, there is simply no place that would be a safe haven for this bird.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that Ziqiao, this bird without feet, has indeed found a nest where he can rest in peace.

She came here not to interfere with his life or the decisions he made, but simply out of curiosity what kind of illusion could give Ziqiao the impression that he could stay and live a good life.

Yes, it's an illusion.

At least that's what Alexandre Dumas thought.

Alexandre Dumas did not go to the Love Apartment immediately. After all, based on his understanding of Zi Qiao, he knew that even if Zi Qiao settled down, he would spend more time in the bar than in the apartment.

Ziqiao often posts photos of this place on Weibo, so this Sunny Day Bar wasn't hard for Dumas to find.

He immediately recognized the people sitting on the sofa as his friends who had appeared in his photos.

That's how I ended up pretending to ask for directions.

Alexandre Dumas originally thought it would take him a long time to find out why Ziqiao was willing to stay here, but he never expected it would be for true love.

Ziqiao is really, really, really too young.

He looked Yifei up and down carefully, and thought to himself that Ziqiao was truly blinded by lust.

Being with such a strong, domineering, and self-centered person, what good is true love? Ziqiao can endure it for ten days or half a month, a year or two, or even three or five years.

Can he really tolerate this forever?

Alexandre Dumas sighed, but couldn't help but smile.

True love should be something that transcends logic and common sense, shouldn't it?

It's so good to be young.

When Yifei saw Dumas scrutinizing her closely, sometimes sighing and sometimes laughing, she suddenly felt something was wrong with her all over.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Yifei felt that the way Dumas looked at her just now was as if he were scrutinizing his future daughter-in-law.

Hmm, it seems it must have been my imagination.

After all, she and Ziqiao were completely innocent and had no relationship whatsoever.

They didn't watch the stars and the moon together, chat about poetry and life ideals, nor did Ziqiao put his arm around her waist on the mountaintop and make a romantic vow, "Until the mountains crumble and the heavens and earth unite, I will never part from you," and then share a deep kiss.

Huh, where did this strange fantasy come from out of nowhere?

Yifei shook her head, trying to banish the melodramatic, melodramatic romance she had imagined from her mind.

This scene is absolutely disgusting. If it were Zeng Xiaoxian instead...

That's not even as good as Ziqiao!

Yifei took a deep breath, constantly reminding herself not to be influenced by this Dumas.

What she needs to do now is to remain still and observe the situation to see what Ziqiao and this fake godfather are up to.

Only after discovering their purpose can one devise a way to turn the tables on Ziqiao and outmaneuver him.

It's no fun just to win; you have to win back what you lost before!

Full of confidence, Yifei turned to Guangu as if everything was normal: "Where's the digital monitor that your godfather sold you? Take it out and let me see it."

Actually, I never really thought it was necessary for Guan Gu to buy that digital screen. After all, it's not so easy for traditional hand-drawn artists to embrace mechanical advancement.

Even if Guan Gu wanted to develop in the direction of digital comics, he could still continue his traditional hand-drawn style; he just needed to scan the artwork.

However, since Guan Gu wants to change, he should at least be allowed to try.

However, in Yifei's eyes, this Dumas was just an actor that Ziqiao had found, and whether the so-called best foreign digital screen he mentioned was true or false was highly questionable.

Regardless, let's inspect the goods first.

After all, as the head of the apartment building, it's her responsibility to protect everyone from being scammed.

To everyone's surprise, Guan Gu replied in a rather silly and cute way, "Zi Qiao's godfather said he came in a hurry this time and didn't bring it with him. He'll send it to me after he goes abroad."

Upon hearing this, Yifei's eyebrows shot up like swords. Suppressing her anger, she asked, "If you haven't received the goods, then what did you just pay for?"

"A deposit."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Yifei was both amused and annoyed, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond to Guan Gu.

This isn't an e-commerce platform; you can't just pay money whenever you want.

They'll send it to you after it goes abroad. What if they never go abroad again?

No, Yifei even suspects that he has never been abroad at all!

She patiently asked, "How much deposit did you pay?"

"Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine."

Yifei finally burst out laughing, but it was only because she was annoyed by Guan Gu.

Great. It's said that the threshold for filing a fraud case is three thousand yuan, and this is right at the threshold.

Moreover, she didn't know if calling the police would be of any use in this situation. If Zhang Wei weren't currently preparing for an exam, she would have already called him over.

At this moment, Yifei really wanted to take out the kitchen knife from her bag and chop Guan Gu's forehead open to see if his head was full of shit.

Who would believe a stranger's lies in less than ten minutes after meeting him for the first time, and pay a deposit without even seeing the goods?

And most importantly, Guan Gu didn't need this digital screen in the first place!

Dumas seemed to have seen through Yifei's thoughts, and he said with a smile, "You are all Ziqiao's friends, I would not lie to you."

"The deposit is just a formality. If you're really worried, I can just take a small amount, like 99, as a token."

As he spoke, he took out his phone to return the money to Guan Gu.

Like Ziqiao, Dumas was a man of principle; he only did sales and did not engage in fraud.

Besides, if he really wanted to scam someone, he wouldn't care about such a paltry sum; it wouldn't even cover the small amount Elizabeth transferred to his account.

Before Yifei could reply, Guangu interjected, "Godfather, you're Ziqiao's godfather, how could we not believe you?"

Yifei was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly realized.

I understand! Now I understand everything!

She finally figured out how Ziqiao and his fake godfather were planning to prank them; it turned out they were working together to swindle everyone's money.

Previously, Ziqiao had been boasting that their anti-fraud awareness was too weak, and that if he were to take action, he could swindle everyone in the apartment out of their fortunes.

Everyone certainly doesn't believe Ziqiao's boastful words, and they certainly don't believe they would be so easily fooled, so now he's going to take this opportunity to prove himself!

Yes, that must be it!

A knowing glint flashed in Yifei's slightly narrowed eyes.

Of course, she believed that even if everyone had been deceived by Ziqiao, he would eventually return the money he had cheated them out of.

Yifei wasn't so much confident in Ziqiao's character, but rather in his intelligence.

After all, he was an opponent of equal strength. He couldn't be so stupid as to think that hiring an actor to scam money under the guise of being his godfather would have nothing to do with him.

Besides, they're all so familiar with each other, she knows what kind of person Ziqiao is.

However, isn't it a bit too absurd to ask someone to use their godfather's identity to gain trust and then use sales tactics to swindle money in a roundabout way?

Would anyone really come up with such an outrageous prank?

A wisp of doubt surfaced in Yifei's mind, but she quickly made up for it herself.

Because this prank is so outrageous and absurd, most people would never think of it. Even if they suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of it, they would find it too full of loopholes and give up the truth they had already obtained.

This is the most ingenious part of Zi Qiao's entire prank plan; he cleverly used people's psychology to devise such an inhumane scheme.

Yifei smiled smugly.

What a pity, Ziqiao, it's such a shame.

Unfortunately, your brilliant plan was ultimately discovered by the even more brilliant me.

It's not that you're not smart enough, it's just that your opponent is too strong.

[When I get serious, no one can hide anything from me, Hu Yifei!]

"Hahahaha, hahahaha..."

Yifei's loud laughter startled Guan Gu and Dumas.

Especially Alexandre Dumas, who looked at Yifei and, for the first time in his life, began to doubt his own speculation.

The way this girl is suddenly laughing... she doesn't seem like she's mentally sound at all.

I'm coming
