I'm not hungry" 。I don't want to see the faces of the two people downstairs at all. 。"Ma'am, please don't make things difficult for us" 。The maid stood awkwardly at the door, refusing to budge and pre...Lin Jinran, who had successfully escaped, left the protection of Ye Xiao. Now she had to face everything alone.

Now, she's facing a big problem: she needs money to support herself.

When she was imprisoned by Mu Shaocheng, she had no money. After reuniting with Ye Xiao, she still had no money.

Leaving the Night Owl, she was still penniless. The only thing of value she had left on her person was probably her clothes!

As the setting sun cast long shadows, Lin Jin dyed her furrowed brows and pulled the wide lapel of her coat tighter around her shoulders. This was after entering the shopping mall, where Ye Xiao, noticing she was a little cold, had personally draped it over her.

Lin Jinran shrugged off his jacket, his pale fingers tracing the lines of the suit. The workmanship was impeccable, undoubtedly a pricey custom piece. But no amount of money could buy back what he'd lost.

Her hand fell, intending to put the suit jacket back on, her fingers accidentally touching something bulging in her pocket!

Lin Jinran was slightly taken aback. He carefully reached into his pocket and took out what was inside. When he saw the black rectangular purse in his hand, Lin Jinran froze again.

This is the night owl's purse, she even took this!

There shouldn't be any of Night Owl's identification or bank cards in there, should there He lost them and will have to reapply for them. That'll be a hassle.

She was so careless, she didn't even notice her big purse the whole way!

Lin Jinran was annoyed and quickly opened her wallet, thinking of finding a chance to return the card to Yexiao. Inside her bulging wallet, besides a stack of cash, there wasn't a single card.

He went to the mall, when did he only bring cash and not a card

Lin Jin's mind flashed a moment of doubt, but she quickly dismissed it. After all, she didn't have to worry about returning the Night Owl. Pulling money from her purse, she counted out the bills one by one – exactly ten thousand!

Lowering his gaze to the stack of money in his hand, Lin Jinyan's handsome face showed a hint of displeasure.

Logically, she should have returned the money to Ye Xiao. She was determined to leave and cut ties with him; there shouldn't be any financial owing.

The only issue is that Lin Jinran currently has no money and nowhere to go. This ten thousand yuan could be her lifesaver right now.

After much inner turmoil, Lin Jinran decided to leave the money for now.

Once she found a place to stay and a new job, she would pay back Night Owl!

Putting the money back into her wallet, Lin Jinyan dared not put it in her suit pocket. She clutched it tightly in her hand. Although the wallet wasn't very heavy, Lin Jinyan felt an immense weight. This was the cost of sustaining her solitary life.

Lin Jinran withdrew a sum of money and took public transportation to rent a place near her school. Affordable housing options were more plentiful in that area.

After several bumpy rides, he finally reached the station near his university. Getting off the train, Lin Jinran stood there, looking at the nearby alleyways with a complex expression in his eyes.

A few months ago, she also rented a house here. Unexpectedly, she encountered too many things during this period and ended up back here after all the twists and turns.

With a self-deprecating smile, Lin Jinran smoothed down the suit jacket on his shoulders and walked into the alley.

Every household in the alley had a few old men sitting at their doors, either shelling peas or chatting. When she walked in, they looked up with cloudy eyes, glanced at her once, and continued their conversation.

She walked to the designated advertising spot in the alley. It was plastered with thick sheets of paper, old and new overlapping each other, some already yellowed with age, others seemingly with glue that hadn't dried yet.

Lin Jinyan stopped to read carefully. There were options for shared housing, whole apartments for rent, and even beds available in existing rooms. The only thing missing was the type of place she had imagined: a small, single-person apartment.

Just as I was thinking of walking further in, a middle-aged woman's voice came from behind me, "Girl, are you looking for a house What kind of house do you want to rent"e old man said, leaning on his cane and walking towards the open door next to him. He left Su Han standing in the doorway, dumbfounded, staring at Gu Nanci who closed the door. “That old man misunders...
