Chapter 20: We Are Triplets

Jinhu Huayuan Residential Area, Building 5, Unit 1706.

Wen Keke and Zhu Li had just showered; the two sat facing each other, both pairs of long legs resting on the coffee table.

Then they applied nail polish to each other's toenails.

Wen Keke's was pink, Zhu Li's was rose red.

"Zhu Li, you said he got that one million back, so I don't owe him money, right?"

Wen Keke asked.

"You're dreaming!"

Zhu Li looked at Wen Keke the same way she looked at Little White, then explained: "Do lawyers work for free in a lawsuit? Does getting things done cost nothing? Think about it—why is it that only Lin Feng got the video from that black car?"

"Then... how much would all this cost?"

Wen Keke widened her watery eyes at Zhu Li.

Zhu Li frowned, did a quick calculation, and said: "If you hire a lawyer, the price isn't fixed, but it'll at least be tens of thousands of yuan!"

Someone as wealthy as Lin Feng usually has connections with law firms and would definitely hire the best lawyers—possibly starting at a hundred thousand yuan.

Moreover, that video clip was certainly bought for money, and spending several ten-thousands is inevitable.

So even if you win the lawsuit and recover that one million, you'll definitely have to spend two to three hundred thousand.

"Two to three hundred thousand! I'd have to work for several years to pay it back."

Wen Keke lamented.

Zhu Li laughed: "So! He's still your creditor. You little white rabbit, you can't get away!"

"You're the white rabbit!"

Wen Keke gave Zhu Li a white-eye look.

Zhu Li chuckled, glanced at Wen Keke's chest, and said with a smile: "Last time at the mall you only looked at the size, didn't try it on—go on, put it on and show sis."

"No way!"

Wen Keke shook her head and refused.

"A handsome guy paid for it—does wearing it give you a strange feeling?" Zhu Li asked with a laugh.

Wen Keke's pretty face instantly flushed red.

Someone like her, with no romantic experience and whose hand has never been touched by a man, can be made shy by just a few teasing words.

Lin Feng drove the car out of the parking spot, suddenly felt dizzy, and immediately put it back and parked properly.

He suddenly remembered having drunk a glass of red wine upstairs.

If it weren't for his usual low alcohol tolerance, Lin Feng would suspect his aunt had put something in the wine.

But there was no drug.

Rather, Liang Shishi likes to mix her own red wine; although it tastes good, its alcohol content is several times higher than ordinary red wine, and it's very potent.

If he goes back now, he'll definitely be mocked by his aunt.

Fortunately, there's an empty unit in this residential area.

Having multiple properties comes in handy—he can easily find a place to stay in any prosperous part of the city.

Unit 0804 had a female tenant who had just moved out not long ago.

The door also had a password lock; Lin Feng held his head, thought for a moment, and opened the door.

As the door opened, a wave of osmanthus perfume hit him.

"I didn't expect that after so long, the place still smells of a woman."

Lin Feng muttered to himself, then turned on the light.

Although his head felt a bit fuzzy, Lin Feng's mind was clear.

After opening the door, he saw several pairs of high-heeled shoes placed on the shoe cabinet beside him.

In front, the partition cabinet held assorted miscellaneous items.

A large red plastic cover was placed over the dining table.

Lin Feng lifted it and saw three plates holding unfinished leftovers.

Looking at the living room, there were women's clothes on the sofa, and a small white bag sat on the coffee table.

This is hardly an empty, unoccupied apartment—clearly someone lives here!

Lin Feng frowned, immediately took out his phone, recalled a bit, and dialed a phone number.

The phone connected quickly.

"Hey~"

A woman's voice sounded.

"Miss Li, you didn't just move out? Why are you still living in Unit 0804 of Jinhuxiaoqu?"

Lin Feng asked, frowning.

"Who are you?" the woman wondered.

"I'm Lin Feng, son of Lin Xiangdong." Lin Feng introduced himself.

"Oh, you're the landlord's son! I moved out ages ago—I'm back in my hometown now. If you'd called a few days later, you definitely wouldn't get through."

The woman explained at length, saying she also didn't know what was going on.

Lin Feng grew more puzzled; after hanging up, he scratched his head and thought, concluding that tenant Ms. Li must have given the apartment's password to someone else.

This gave Lin Feng a heads-up.

Vacant units that aren't rented out should have their locks changed.

Password locks should also have their fingerprints cleared and passwords changed after a tenant moves out.

A luxurious apartment's renovation alone costs over ten thousand yuan; adding all the appliances, if it were stolen it would really not be worth it.

Lin Feng walked around the living room.

Then he carefully opened the three bedrooms and looked; nobody was there.

Each bedroom had a bed, and the wardrobe also hung women's clothes.

It looks like this apartment is not being lived in by a single woman.

Lin Feng sat down on the sofa, crossing his arms while waiting.

Because he had drunk some alcohol, he unknowingly fell asleep on the sofa.

After an unknown amount of time, a girl's voice sounded.

"You just scared me!"

"Yeah! I thought we'd been burglarized!"

"It's actually a handsome guy, he's so handsome!"

"Look at his skin, better than mine, his waist, his legs, tsk tsk!"

"He looks very like an oppa!"

"Is he someone's secret boyfriend?"

"Not mine!"

"Not mine either!"

Lin Feng woke up and opened his eyes.

Appearing before his eyes were three young girls.

They look under twenty, youthful and lovely.

"Handsome guy, you finally woke up!"

One of the girls asked with a smile.

Lin Feng felt a bit dazed, wondering if he was having a hallucination.

Because the three girls' faces were exactly the same!

Even their height and figure were the same, as if molded from the same template.

He quickly realized this wasn't a hallucination, but that the three girls before him were triplets.

They all wore white T-shirts, black windbreakers, and their legs were wrapped in blue jeans.

Same faces, same height and figure, same clothing.

If anyone else had just woken up and suddenly saw these three girls, they'd also think their vision was problematic.

"Handsome guy, who are you?"

"You wouldn't be a thief, would you?"

"You're so handsome, you definitely aren't!"

"You can't think that way; thieves don't discriminate by looks, as Mom and Dad said, don't judge a book by its cover."

The "chitter-chatter" sound made Lin Feng's ears somewhat unable to bear it.

He already had super strong hearing, and on top of that, the three girls' voices were very clear and penetrating.

"Stop!"

Lin Feng sat up and raised his hand to stop them from continuing.

The triplets finally closed their mouths.

Lin Feng frowned and said, "I don't know how you moved in, but this house is mine."

"So you're the landlord!"

"Even as a landlord, you can't just enter a tenant's place without permission, right?"

"Is that landlady your mom? You guys don't resemble her at all!"

"Yeah! Do you not look like your mom but like your dad?"

Lin Feng frowned, rubbed his ears, and raised his hand again to make the three girls stop.

"I understand, you've been deceived. I am the sole owner of this house; my parents have already passed away..."

Lin Feng tried to say it as quickly as possible.

He feared that if he paused, the girls would interject and it would never end.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, the triplets remained silent, looking at him with surprised faces.

"My name is Lin Feng, what are your names?" Lin Feng asked curiously.

"My name is Bei HuaRong, I'm the eldest."

"My name is Bei LuHua, I'm the second."

"My name is Bei YuYao, I'm the third."

After the three girls each introduced themselves, they in unison said, "We are triplets!"

Lin Feng smiled and nodded: "Your names are taken from Li Bai's poem, right? 'The clouds think of robes, the flowers think of beauty; the spring breeze brushes the rail, the dew becomes thick.' If not seeing the jade mountain peak, one would meet the jade terrace under the moon."

The three girls nodded in unison.

Lin Feng raised his hand and said, "Please sit, three of us, let's sort this out."
