Chapter 55: Sick of Hearing That Line

"So, Liu Nainai, do you mean to say that Xu Yufeng's family can't hold on anymore?" Zhou Yi asked with a hint of surprise.

"That's right. Under those circumstances, I don't think many people could hold on..."

So, Liu Nainai gave a rough account of what happened afterward. Although she was in Sanya, she had been well-liked for many years and knew many people in the Small Residential District.

Whenever anything happened, someone would tell her, so Liu Nainai was well-informed about all these inside stories.

Xu Yufeng went to the Property Management again, still wanting to force them to solve the problem by acting shamelessly and threatening to jump off the building. Just as Zhou Yi had said before, this woman would rather throw such a tantrum than apologize to him!

As it turned out, after the Property Management—a vulnerable group—had been rebuffed by Zhou Yi a few times, they finally stopped indulging her. They told Xu Yufeng directly: if she wanted to jump, she could go ahead; no one would stop her.

Then the two sides got into a fight. After all, Xu Yufeng was over fifty, and she even got scratched by that Property Management staff member.

"So the Property Management doesn't plan to deal with it now?" Zhou Yi asked with a smile.

Liu Nainai replied, "Of course the Property Management isn't dealing with it; they never intended to. If it weren't for Xu Yufeng acting shamelessly in every way, they wouldn't have bothered at all."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi was suddenly curious: "Liu Nainai, but that's not right either. I've already done all that; the Property Management should know that I'm not someone to be trifled with either!"

This was also a question he was very curious about: Xu Yufeng was not to be trifled with, but was he, Zhou Yi, easy to mess with?

"You're different, Little Zhou. You contacted the Property Management and the Community Office, and when they said they couldn't handle it, you didn't go again, and you only ever called them."

"As for your conflict with Xu Yufeng, that's none of their business. But Xu Yufeng went to the Property Management to jump off the building—that was right under their noses."

Liu Nainai still knew more, and she explained it clearly very quickly.

Zhou Yi had never once gone to the Property Management, while Xu Yufeng had already been sitting in the Property Management Office acting shamelessly.

"What about these past few days? Has her family done nothing?" Zhou Yi asked again.

"How could they have done nothing? They've been trying to report you everywhere, but they were all told to go through legal channels. Anyway, I reckon they've tried every trick they could think of."

"And look, now that they're out of options, they're thinking of seeking a reconciliation with you."

"So now they know to reconcile? No rush, Liu Nainai. I'll go back in a couple of days. She started this dispute, but when it ends—that's for me to decide."

"Besides, since she's apologizing, she needs to be sincere. She should be the one contacting me, shouldn't she? Why have you pass the message? Can't she call me directly?"

"You just stay in Sanya and enjoy yourself!"

After finishing, Zhou Yi prepared to hang up the phone. However, Liu Nainai said again, "Little Zhou, since you've called me Grandma, I'll tell you this: the Property Management in our Small Residential District is no good."

"Especially that Manager Xue; he's very petty. You've embarrassed them this time, so I expect they'll be up to no good in the future."

"Oh?" Zhou Yi laughed immediately. "You're very up to date, Grandma, even knowing the phrase 'up to no good.' But I don't mind them being up to no good. Besides, logically speaking, how long have I even lived here? I reckon the Property Management will have plenty of opportunities to get to know me in the future!"

It wasn't that Zhou Yi was bragging; there was more to the Small Residential District than just noise complaints. The Property Management wanted to be up to no good? He'd like to see who would cause trouble faster later on...

After hanging up, Zhou Yi continued his leisurely life, while in Jingzhou City, the state of Xu Yufeng's family was indeed not good.

It wasn't that Zhou Yi wanted to do anything to this family; he had set the timing very cunningly. It would ring for a while at night and then stop when the time was up, rather than doing it all night long.

If it never stopped, people could actually fall asleep once they were exhausted enough.

But by using this method, he had kept Xu Yufeng's family from sleeping well for many days.

At this moment, on the seventeenth floor, 1702, Xu Yufeng, with dark circles under her eyes, looked at her daughter who had just returned and asked, "What's the situation? What exactly did that Zhou Yi say?"

Her daughter shook her head and said, "Mom, I just asked Liu Nainai. Liu Nainai said she already told Zhou Yi, but he didn't say when he'd be back; he's still in Lincheng."

"He wants my family to die! When he gets back, I'll fight him to the death. If he won't let me live in peace, I'll also..."

However, Xu Dama stopped mid-sentence because her daughter and son beside her were silent.

Threatening to fight to the death or jump off a building—the first time you say or do such things, the deterrent effect is greatest because no one knows if you will actually do it.

But if you say every few days that you're going to fight to the death or jump off a building, yet only say it with your mouth, after doing it a few times, no one will believe you in the end.

Seeing no one speak, Xu Yufeng added, "And those Community Office people, none of them are doing their jobs..."

She was truly exhausted these past few days, having run to almost every department and unit she could find. Unfortunately, after listening to her, they all told her that this was a civil dispute and suggested she resolve it through legal channels...

In the past, Xu Yufeng would often say, "If you have the ability, go sue," because she knew herself that these issues were very hard to litigate. It wasn't that they couldn't be litigated, but that they were very difficult to fight!

What normal person would have nothing better to do than to go to court over such a trivial matter?

As a result... lately, she was truly sick of hearing these people say that!

Unfortunately, she had found everyone she could, and there was no way out, even with her acting shamelessly.

Therefore, Xu Yufeng could only think about discussing it with that neighbor to see what could be done.

In any case, the other party had rented so many properties and even let those neighbors go out to have fun; it must be quite expensive, so she believed the other party should also want to settle the matter quietly.

It was just that... she had been trying to contact the other party for a whole day, but there was still no word. And now that it was night again, thinking of that scene, Xu Yufeng couldn't sit still.

"Daughter, still no phone call?"

Her daughter said impatiently, "Mom, no. Otherwise, let's contact him directly; that's the only way!"

"Then... then let's contact him and see what he wants to do."

Xu Yufeng hesitated for a moment before saying these words.

Her daughter nodded, took out her phone, and dialed the number Liu Nainai had sent.

"Hello, is this Mr. Zhou Yi? I'm from the family upstairs..."

In Lincheng, Zhou Yi, lying on the bed, listened to the phone and finally smiled.

"Have your mother apologize properly to me and the neighbors around here. Oh, and the family that moved out just before I moved in—they must apologize too. By the way, tell her it's not that I'm high-maintenance, but that she was in the wrong, and if you're wrong, you have to admit it!"

"But you can only return in two days? Can't you come back sooner?"

Zhou Yi said, "I still have things to do with my parents here in Lincheng. It will take at least two days. Just wait for now."

After finishing, Zhou Yi hung up the phone and checked the progress; it had already jumped to ninety-three percent.

Getting this neighbor upstairs to admit her mistake was truly not easy. It wasn't like that previous seeker, who was probably already crying his eyes out while sitting on the Regret Chair.

The recording of this phone call could be edited into the video, and then added to the subsequent apology video; this episode could finally be completed!

On the other side, Xu Yufeng's daughter hung up the phone and told Xu Yufeng about Zhou Yi's demands.

"What? Make me apologize to him in front of everyone, and apologize to the other neighbors? And that family that moved out? I..."

Just as Xu Yufeng was about to roar, she saw her daughter's expression and swallowed the rest of her words.

"Sigh, I'll listen to you all."

The second update is delivered. Thanks to Cisha Jianxia, Heiguang Bianhua, Tang Xun, and Meng Shiyue for the tips. Also, that is my Feng Qingyue da, join the group. Anyone else who wants to join the group can also do so. Actually, the reason it's so slow is because those people in the group keep tempting me to chat, really.
