Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character
Chapter 486 Being a gang leader in Hong Kong in the 9s
"Well, don't say I'm making things difficult for you. This is the small house your father bought for your birth mother with the money he gave her back then. I've lived here for nineteen years. Why don't you go and live here too?" Lin Baozhen, with the joy of a victor, handed her a key and a small piece of paper with an address written on it.
Lin Wanzhen was pleasantly surprised; she had thought she would have to stay in a hotel first and then rent a house.
He reached out and took the key and the note, glanced at Lin Baozhen, and turned to leave the Lin family mansion.
Lin Baozhen's victory was punctured by that one look. She didn't understand what that look was, but for some reason, she felt that it didn't look like that of a loser. It seemed to carry a hint of pity. Pity? A young lady like her using pity on a downtrodden dog who had been kicked out of the house?
This made her very unhappy.
After Lin Wanzhen left, I walked slowly along the quiet road in the warm, humid wind, and my mind was unusually active.
This is a parallel world that is similar to her original world. If it weren't for the fact that many place names are different, she would have thought that she had returned to the timeline before her original world.
According to the original owner's memories, the handover of Hong Kong Island has already been scheduled. It is now the second half of 90, and there are still seven years until the handover to the motherland. Many people on the island are not optimistic about the handover, and there are even more conflicting opinions internationally.
But Lin Wanzhen is very optimistic about the return. She compared some major events in this world with those in her original world in her mind and found that the two worlds were basically the same.
The 1990s were a time of extraordinary prosperity for Hong Kong Island!
Then she can start her first pot of gold from the stock market. With the original owner's memories as a foundation, as well as some skills she learned in other worlds, making money will be too easy.
After leaving the affluent area, she hailed a taxi and arrived at Yilan Street. Lin Wanzhen was stunned by the atmosphere that greeted her. Many shops had sun umbrellas outside, and the smells of various foods were mixed together. There were all sorts of colorful signs, and on the street corners, under the eaves, some trendy and scantily clad young men and women were laughing and joking.
Although she chose the most understated sportswear from the original owner's wardrobe, it still looked somewhat out of place in this environment due to its expensive price.
Lin Wanzhen looked up at the densely packed windows and chose a shop that sold beef noodles.
"Excuse me, how do I get to this address?"
The shop owner, who had been looking serious, stared at her face in surprise for a few seconds after reading her note. He then carefully pointed out the location to her and told her how to get there.
Lin Wanzhen thanked him calmly and walked towards the building across the street according to the address given by the shop owner.
It is said that Lin Baozhen's departure caused quite a stir, so it's normal that the neighbors here know some of the details.
On the seventh floor, Lin Wanzhen carefully checked the house number against the slip of paper, while also being careful not to trip over the clutter piled up in the dark corridor. There were many households on the entire floor, and many house numbers were missing, so she was a little unsure if she had gone the wrong way.
At this time, most people should be out working, and there was no one in the corridor. She couldn't find anyone to ask.
Lin Wanzhen, clutching the note and the key, walked to the far end of one side.
The last house number is very clear; it's 7-25.
You went to the wrong place.
She's looking for 7-5.
Her eyes had adjusted to the brightness in the corridor, and she returned a little faster. There was no house number for 7-5, but the house number for 7-6 was very clear, so it should be right. Lin Wanzhen took the key and prepared to open the door.
A rather heavy, hurried footstep came from the stairs.
Lin Wanzhen felt that this had nothing to do with her, because she didn't know anyone here, but the lock seemed wrong; the key wouldn't go in even when it was halfway in.
Did we look for the wrong person?
Lin Wanzhen looked at the keys and then at the door, somewhat bewildered.
The footsteps were coming towards her. At this time, the security situation on Hong Kong Island was not good. Lin Wanzhen turned around to face the person who came.
A man who looked rather strong stopped about two meters away from her.
"Are you the child who was switched?" the man asked, his tone somewhat complicated.
"Hmm." Lin Wanzhen stood there seemingly relaxed, but she was actually ready to fight back. Although her body was somewhat delicate and soft, it was not difficult for her to deal with a man, not to mention that she had all kinds of weapons in her space.
Chen Axiong sighed softly, "I'm your cousin, uh, and your mother is my aunt."
"Cousin?" Lin Wanzhen tilted her head, as if there was such a thing.
Lin Baozhen doesn't like to talk about her past life, only mentioning it when she's trying to gain sympathy. She seems to have said that her birth mother used the money given to her by Lin Fusheng to do one decent thing: buy this small house. The rest of the money was basically not spent on Lin Baozhen, who was raised by her maternal grandmother who favored boys over girls since childhood.
My maternal grandmother also had a cousin who had lost both parents. He could eat meat, while she could only drink soup. If the house hadn't been registered under Lin Baozhen's name, my grandmother would have taken it away and given it to my cousin long ago.
"Hmm, she didn't mention it to you?"
"It was mentioned, but it wasn't very pleasant."
Chen Axiong frowned, unsure how to explain to his unfamiliar cousin that Lin Baozhen's situation was somewhat complicated.
"Why don't you go in?" He decided to just leave it at that. Lin Baozhen, his cousin whom he had protected for over ten years, was already living the life she was meant to live.
"The key seems wrong."
"That lock is too old; you need to use a bit of skill." Chen Axiong walked over, took the key from her hand, and tried it twice to find the right angle.
Click, the door opened!
Lin Wanzhen looked around the small house. All the doors were open. The bedroom was diagonally opposite, next to it was a small bathroom, and next to the entrance was a small dining table. Inside was the kitchen, and on the other side of the entrance were two small sofas.
It's not very big. Although there's a sofa, it doesn't feel like a living room; it's more like a passageway.
Chen Axiong opened the window and glanced at his new cousin standing at the door. Her face resembled his aunt's, but she possessed a composure and elegance that his aunt lacked, indicating that she had been well-bred.
"This place hasn't been cleaned in a long time. Let's air it out and tidy it up before we can move in." Chen Axiong walked into the kitchen to check the water, electricity, gas, and refrigerator.
"Cough cough cough." Opening the refrigerator, a stench that filled the air wafted out. No wonder he felt the smell was strange as soon as he came in.
Lin Baozhen left in a hurry and didn't have time to think about anything else. Naturally, she didn't pay the water and electricity bills, and the two pieces of meat and fruit left in the refrigerator rotted and spoiled.
Lin Wanzhen involuntarily covered her mouth and nose.
"Don't be afraid, I'll pack it up. It'll be ready to use once I'm done." Chen Axiong felt sorry for her. She had been a rich young lady for twenty years, and suddenly she became a girl from the slums. He didn't know how she could bear it.
"Don't bother cleaning it up, the smell will probably be hard to get rid of, let's just buy another one," Lin Wanzhen said in a muffled voice, covering her nose.
Chen Axiong paused for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll move this one out later, and I'll buy you a new one tomorrow."
