Chapter 509: You've Got the Wrong Person for Moral Blackmail
Yang Tao lives in an old residential building. She was awakened by a rapid knock on the door early in the morning. When she saw the scene in the living room, kitchen and bathroom, she thought she was sleepwalking. Her home almost became a water curtain cave. The roof was wet and the walls were also exposed to different conditions.
When I opened the door, I found that it was the couple next door and the property staff. I then realized that there was a water leak from the upstairs, which flooded both homes.
When encountering such a thing, Yang Tao naturally notified the landlord to come over...
The people upstairs didn't arrive for a while, so Yang Tao quickly cleaned up her room and counted the losses. She was sad to find that her most valuable asset, a laptop, was soaked in water and completely scrapped because of her negligence...
Yang Tao felt as if she had been thrown out from under the skirt by the goddess of luck. She should go to the temple to see if she could change her luck....
When Chen An arrived, he saw several people blocking the corridor, making a lot of noise. He thought to himself that it really wasn't that simple. This didn't seem like a small problem...
Just as he was about to pretend to be a bystander and listen to the situation on the scene, an unexpected and surprised voice disrupted his plan, "Narcissistic little hooligan?"
Chen An was also very surprised when he looked at Da Meitao, but he would not suffer any loss when talking, and he also looked surprised, "A crazy little sister?"
Yang Tao was very upset and was about to say something when an old lady beside her pulled Yang Tao aside and asked curiously, "Xiao Yang, is this your boyfriend?"
"no..."
"How can it be..."
They both denied it at the same time, but Yang Tao immediately gave Chen An a death stare when she heard what he said. What do you mean by "how is it possible?" Am I that bad? Is it because I am despised like this? Why didn't I see you behave like this when you touched me yesterday?
Chen An naturally didn't know what Yang Tao was thinking. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he knew that he couldn't eat the melon anymore, so he took the initiative to ask, "My name is Chen An, and I'm Xu Hongdou's friend. I wonder which one is Aunt Li..."
"Are you Xiao Xu's boyfriend?" an old lady stepped forward and asked.
Chen An would naturally not admit it. He always felt that this woman had bad intentions. "Friend, are you Aunt Li?"
"Well, open the door quickly and let the property people go in to check and see what the problem is." Aunt Li frowned, obviously not very satisfied with Chen An's answer.
Chen An walked over and opened the door. What he saw was a mess. He was basically certain that the house must be re-cleaned and the floor must also be redone...
The property management checked the room and found that the water pipe in the kitchen burst, causing the water leakage...
Aunt Li immediately started to blame Xu Hongdou to Chen An, and everyone except the property staff and Yang Tao joined in the condemnation...
Chen An could see through it. They were planning to push the responsibility onto Hongdou and make Hongdou pay for the loss. He couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
"Young man, this matter is not up to you. You should ask Xiao Xu to come back immediately. We must have an explanation for this matter." Aunt Li spoke righteously, as if she was considering everyone in every aspect.
"Wait a minute, I'll call Sister Hongdou." Chen An had to look at the rental contract first before he could decide what to do.
Yang Tao pouted, looking at Chen An's embarrassed look, and her depression was relieved a lot. He was just a little brat, and now he was helpless, and he still dared to look down on his sister...
Chen An made a phone call and explained the situation in general. "Hongdou, this landlord is too insidious. They took advantage of me because I am young and don't know the law. Where is your rental contract? Let me take a look first. I will teach them a lesson later."
"It's in the drawer of the computer desk. Xiao An, don't be impulsive. Let's be reasonable." Xu Hongdou reminded quickly.
Chen An especially likes to tease the seemingly serious Hongdou, "Don't worry, I always convince people with reason, and only when I treat you will I be able to break all laws with one force."
"Deal with it quickly. What's going on in your mind..." Xu Hongdou spat and hung up the phone. She was really not worried about Chen An's handling of the matter.
After reading the contract, Chen An had an idea in mind. He walked out of the bedroom, and the landlord Aunt Li immediately stepped forward to ask, "When will Xiao Xu come back? Give us a definite answer. We can't keep waiting for her."
"That's right, how can we live in this house now? Let the people come back quickly..." Another couple also complained.
Chen An coughed, holding the contract in his hand, and looked towards Yang Tao with a smile, "Please, beautiful lady, read this rental contract for me."
Yang Tao raised her chin, thinking that you are a good boy, sister will... Just when she thought of this, she was ruthlessly pushed aside by Chen An. She turned her head in surprise, only to see Chen An looking at the lady from the property management, smiling and inviting, "Miss, can you help me?"
The property lady was shocked by Chen An. Her face was red and she stuttered. "Just read the contract?"
"That's right..." Chen An handed over the contract and gave an encouraging look. As for Yang Tao's murderous look behind him, what does it have to do with me, Chen?
Everyone was confused and didn't understand what Chen An was going to do, but they all listened curiously.
The property lady read the contract quickly, and when she finished reading a clause, Chen An waved her hand to stop her from reading further.
He smiled and looked at everyone, "I think everyone should understand, right? The contract clearly states that during the lease period, any losses caused by improper use of the property by the tenant shall be borne by the tenant."
"And my sister Hongdou went on a trip a few months ago and has not returned to the capital in the past few months. The house has been vacant and has not been used. How can it be considered improper use?"
The landlord immediately became anxious when he heard this, "What do you mean, are you trying to cheat? I tell you, no way..."
Chen An's face turned cold, and he looked at the landlady, "Don't cry thief here. Who wants to evade responsibility? The people present are not fools. It is written in black and white in the contract."
"You, you, I'm going to sue you..." the landlady shouted angrily.
Chen An said coldly, "You can sue me if you want. I'm always here for you. However, the house is flooded and the tenants can't use it normally. The rent and deposit must be returned. Otherwise, it's not a question of whether you sue or not, but whether I sue you or not."
"Oh, everyone, look at this, what kind of world is this? The house has clearly been rented to you, and it was your failure to supervise properly that led to the flooding. Now not only are you shirking responsibility, you also want to bully me, an old lady..." As he spoke, he moved closer to Chen An, as if he was ready to commit fraud.
Chen An took a step back and stood behind Yang Tao. "See? This woman wants to fight me. Don't blame me for fighting back in self-defense. Everyone, be my witness..."
Before the others could say anything, the property lady took the initiative to agree, which earned her a warning look from the leader. However, the landlord, Aunt Li, did not rush up, but just glared at Chen An fiercely.
"This matter will not be let go like this."
Chen An spread his hands and smiled, "Everyone heard it. This lady actually dared to threaten me. I will call the police later. Everyone help to be a witness. We can't let her do whatever she wants."
Regardless of whether they would testify or not, upon hearing about the rogue behavior, Yang Tao's landlady and the couple downstairs immediately surrounded Aunt Li and demanded an explanation in righteous words.
