Female Novel
Chapter 265
Christina insisted on moving out to rent her own house.
Unable to talk her out of it, Crystal called Derek, hoping to get some help from him.
However, she was disappointed that he seemed to be very busy.
Today was Saturday, and Christina was not busy.
The injury on her ankle did not stop her from walking.She had already removed the gauze bandage.
After they had lunch, Crystal accompanied her to find a place to live in.They were lucky to find a small
apartment with one room and one living room downtown.
The furniture and decoration were all new, and the rent was relatively affordable.
“2500 dollars a month, one year’s rent at a time, plus a deposit of 20 thousand.Have it or not.Don’t
waste my time.Make up your mind quickly”
The landlord was a man in his 30’s.He was about 1.7 meters in height.He was wearing casual clothes
and a pair of glasses.He looked quite gentle, but his tone was really harsh.
“Pay the rent for one year at a time and you even ask for a deposit of 20 thousand?” Crystal was
furious.
The landlord boasted, “The decoration and furniture here are all brand new.20 thousand deposit is not
much at all.If the house is damaged when you leave, you still have to pay for it.Every apartment above
50 square kilometers here costs more than 4500 dollars…”
“Twenty thousand is too much, at most ten thousand.Besides, even if the house price downtown is
high, your apartment is already a little old now.And please show us your property certificate.I’m afraid
that you might be a middleman landlord.”
Crystal tried to bargain with him but Christina didn’t seem to care about the prices at all.She walked
around the apartment and said, “It’s a little small.”
“Why don’t you live ina villa since you think my apartment is small?”
The whole apartment was so small that everyone could hear her words clearly.The landlord’s face
darkened.
He glared at them and spoke with contempt.
“Do you want to rent it or not? My apartment is too small to accommodate you”
Crystal muttered, “She’s really picky”
“I’ll take it.”
Christina developed a bad habit of splurging when she was living in the Hopkins family, so she didn’t
even bother to bargain at all.
She took the contract, signed it, transferred the money through her cell phone, and officially became
the hostess here.
“Christina, thrift is our national virtue.”
Crystal sighed as she signed the contract.It would take others a few days or more to rent a house.
But Christina was really efficient for she made the decision so quickly.
“We didn’t even look through the three-page contract…”
Christina casually stuffed the rental contract into a drawer, turned around, and said, “Who dares to trick
me?”
Crystal was at a loss for a moment.
Then she thought, indeed, who dared to trick Christina? Even if there was something wrong with the
contract, she wouldn’t be the one that got hurt.
“If he were targeted by the Hopkins family, he would end up miserable” Crystal muttered to herself.
The first thing she thought of was Christina’s relationship with the Hopkins family.
Christina, who had been calm all the time, suddenly said in a cold voice, “I mean, I can handle it
myself.I won’t be bullied.”
She finally seemed a little more energetic when she became angry, much better than that when she
was silent.If she could be like before, Crystal really wouldn’t have to worry too much.
“Crystal, I know what I’m doing” Christina went into the kitchen to clean up and said calmly, “If you are
to talk to my aunt, tell her that I’m not angry with her.”
Crystal was a little surprised at her words.
For a moment, she didn’t know how to reply, so she just said “Yes.”
In fact, Crystal also found out that the apartment was very close to the IP&G Group’s building.
Outside the community, there was a bus line direct to it, but it should just be a coincidence.There was a
big supermarket downstairs nearby, which was really convenient.They bought some new cups, bowls,
utensils, and new bed covers.
At night, they shared the same bed here.However, the next day, Crystal was chased away.
“You ungrateful woman…” Crystal was very angry.
Christina ignored her and said, “You can go to work now”
Then she slammed the door shut.Crystal stared at the closed door in front of her and felt angry.But,
Geoffrey was really annoying.He even called Crystal last night to complain about Christina’s refusal to
accompany him to join in the kindergarten activities.
Christina should have heard them talking on the phone.She never liked to disturb others’ lives.Maybe
she really wanted to live a quiet life alone.
Not long after Crystal left, Christina became bored.She wanted to walk around the neighborhood.She
changed into a dark green shirt with a pair of dark blue jeans and wore a pair of white casual shoes.
It was a little cold in early winter.She was wearing a short white down jacket, with light makeup.She
was about 1.7 meters tall.
The way she simply tied up her long hair made her look like a young college student.
After locking the door, she went to wait for the elevator.
The other residents could not help but look at her, probably because she was outstanding in look and
unfamiliar to them.
“Have you just moved in?”
“Are you studying in the A City? What’s your major? Are you from an art school?”
This community was developed a long time ago, and the residents were relatively stable.
So they were very enthusiastic.She was not good at socializing.She was at a loss for a moment and
then she greeted them, “Hello.”
Perhaps it was because young people nowadays were too ostentatious.
The elders liked quiet girls instead.
In addition, she was pretty.
Now, she seemed a little shy and did not know how to communicate with people.
The more she looked this way, the more they liked her.
“Where are you from?”
As soon as they entered the elevator, they became even more enthusiastic.
What they liked the most was to introduce blind dates for young people.
“Did you have a boyfriend? My nephew works in a big company.His annual salary is very high.He is
very filial and has no bad habits…”
“Forget about it.Your nephew is not as tall as her.It’s awkward for them to be together.”
They started to quarrel, and Christina became a little embarrassed.She only hoped that the elevator
would reach the first floor as soon as possible.
When the elevator opened, boxes of packed-up supplies were piled up at the door.
“It seems that a new resident has come in.”
They were still chatting, but she was not interested in their topic.
She politely said, “I’ll go first.”novelbin
Then she quickly left.
Those behind her were still discussing excitedly, “It happens that the new one lives just upstairs her.It’s
a man”
Then their voices became even more excited…
“He’s so handsome.”
