Chapter 153 After the Old House Caught Fire (3)

The next second, the laptop suddenly lost connection to the Internet, and it seemed that something malfunctioned at the same time. The computer screen went black, and there was no more movement.

Chu Xiang was stunned for a moment. When it came to electronic equipment that seemed to be faulty, she only knew one way to repair it, and that was to restart it.

But unfortunately, there was no response even when she pressed the power button.

It was too late, and Chu Xiang had to give up after trying several times. He would go to Eugene during the day to ask where he could find someone to repair his computer.

In room 305, there were two men and one woman.

The tall, dark-skinned man whispered, "There's a new person here who I haven't seen before. Caroline is gone."

Another short and thin man said jealously: "How can Caroline be so lucky? It's ok for her to meet a stranger while wandering around, but she actually tricked the stranger into coming in."

The man in front was also very unwilling, "I never thought that Caroline would be the one who escaped!"

After all, in their impression, Caroline is a timid woman without her own opinion, but this woman is smart in one respect, that is, she knows how to depend on others and hide behind men to find a living space.

To be honest, in this world where the strong prey on the weak, no one took Caroline seriously. As a result, she became the lucky one by "cheating". This is really surprising and makes people feel angry.

The woman who had been silent in front of him spoke up, "How can you be sure that Caroline must have run away?"

The two men looked at her together.

She paused for a moment and said, "According to the monster's style, I don't think it will allow such a deception to happen. If Caroline thinks that she can guarantee her survival by finding someone to exchange herself, then she is too naive."

If escaping is so simple, then isn't the game it sets too simple?
The two men suddenly felt a chill at their bones.

Yeah, if Caroline could really get away that easily, it would be too much of a disrespect to that pervert.

The tall man lowered his voice and said, "I saw the new woman. She doesn't look very smart. She even asked that pervert to help her carry things. When the next full moon night comes, she will definitely be the first to die."

The thin man made a pitying sound, "I think she's very pretty, thin and small, I don't know if she's an adult yet, I was thinking of finding a chance to chat with her and get close to her."

Compared with people like them with big frames, Chu Xiang looks young and thin, which inevitably gives them an illusion.

The tall man disagreed and said, "She has offended a pervert, and you are trying to get close to her? If you are not afraid of being implicated, then you can just ask her if she has a boyfriend and if you can have a relationship with her using condoms."

The thin man's face was not very good. He was just talking nonsense. How could he dare to get close to someone who was targeted by a pervert? After being said so by the tall man, he couldn't find a way out of his nonsense.

The woman tried to smooth things over. "Okay, both of you stop bickering. We still don't know the background of this new woman. So, you better be on your guard."

The two men nodded. They didn't know since when they began to obey this woman's words. They never objected to what she said.

The next day, Chu Xiang slept until noon, changed into a white dress, washed up, ate a simple piece of bread, and walked out of the room.

The apartment was much brighter during the day, and the paintings on the walls also became brighter and less gloomy.

She walked down the stairs with ease and saw the person she was looking for. In the lobby, Eugene sat on the sofa in the sunlight, his beautiful blond hair seemed to be shining, and in his ocean-like eyes, it became floating spots of light.

He was still dressed in a suit and tie, looking meticulous, yet gentle and friendly. He was flipping through the album in his hand, and he seemed to be looking at it very attentively. However, before Chu Xiang approached, he noticed it first and took action.

Eugene raised his eyes and smiled, "Good morning, Miss Chu."

A mature and refined man, steady and reliable, with an approachable smile.

It's almost time for lunch, which is not really early.

Chu Xiang was not embarrassed. She sat opposite him, cleared her throat, and said, "I'm here to sign a rental contract with you."

Eugene was well prepared. He put down the book in his hand and handed an agreement on the table to Chu Xiang. "This is the contract. If you have no objection, please sign it."

Chu Xiang read the contract carefully. Even though she only had a vague understanding of some of the terms, she still tried her best to avoid making mistakes before signing.

This contract was no different from an ordinary contract, except that she found a very interesting sentence, "If Party B wants to leave Spring Ivy Apartment before the end of the contract, he must pay ten times the penalty."

Eugene smiled, "Ms. Chu, don't worry. This sentence is just a necessary part of the process. Ivy Apartment is an old house. I hope every resident can respect it and cherish the fate between the house and the people. That's why I wrote this sentence in the contract."

"Even if we take a step back, it's just ten times the penalty. Miss Chu, you can definitely afford it."

What he said was indeed true. For a rich lady who often made decisions on a whim, a small amount of liquidated damages was nothing.

But she still needs to read the contract carefully.

Eugene was not in a hurry either. He stroked the coffee cup with his slender pale fingers, with a smile on his face.

He is extremely patient, just like a wild beast lying dormant in the forest. He can maintain a harmless posture for a long time before his prey takes the bait.

Finally, Chu Xiang asked all the questions that needed to be asked, and she picked up a pen and wrote her name.

The contract was made in two copies, one of which was delivered to Eugene. The two square Chinese characters on the paper stood out in the contract.

"Chu Xiang."

Chu Xiang was surprised when he heard him pronounce her name clearly. "Have you studied Chinese?"

Eugene chuckled and said, "As long as you live long enough and see enough people, some things will come naturally."

Chu Xiang was particularly impressed, "You are so amazing!"

He has a job and also paints in his spare time. Now he has mentioned that he can speak Chinese. This spirit of living and learning until old age is the role model that everyone should learn from!

Eugene had heard many people say that they were great, but those people either looked at him with fear or flattery, whereas the admiration and respect in Chu Xiang's eyes was so frank and terrifying.

He was a little eager to do something, "Miss Chu, do you really not want me to draw a picture for you?"
