Chapter 93: Collecting Rent in the Capital?

"Why not? Don't I know what kind of person you are?"

Cheng Yushu glanced at Su Mengyao, showing her no mercy.

"Why don't we ask the waiter if we can change to a private room with a larger hot spring bath? Otherwise, it'll be inconvenient for us to bathe," Zhu Yuehua suggested. She looked at the hot spring pool in the private room, realizing it was a double pool booked by Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao.

With four of them now, it would be too crowded.

She and Cheng Yushu had also booked a double hot spring room, and it was the same problem.

"Private rooms here need to be reserved in advance, so it's probably impossible to change at the last minute," Su Mengyao said, knowing that she was a regular visitor and understood how the Liuyue Hot Spring Villa operated.

"Go ask first. You won't know until you try," Zhu Yuehua insisted. Perhaps someone had canceled a booking, and they could take advantage of that.

"I'll go with you. Yaoyao and Zijin are dressed like this now; it's better if they stay here," Cheng Yushu said. Although many people in the villa walked around in swimsuits or bath towels, it still felt embarrassing when it was their turn.

"Come back soon. Zijin and I just ordered some dishes, and they should be here soon," Su Mengyao reminded them.

Cheng Yushu and Zhu Yuehua gave them a reassuring glance, then left the private room.

"Your two friends seem pretty good. Why did you leave them before to hang out with Yang Jiaqian?"

Yang Jiaqian and Su Mengyao didn't move in the same circles. If Yang Jiaqian hadn't approached Su Mengyao deliberately, they'd hardly have met in real life.

"Who knows? Maybe I had a brain cramp back then," Su Mengyao said, feeling regret. She couldn't remember how she and Yang Jiaqian got close; she could only blame her younger self for being blinded by greed.

Yun Zijin didn't comment further and didn't mention Yang Jiaqian's name again.

Before long, Zhu Yuehua and Cheng Yushu returned with the head waiter of the villa.

"Ms. Su and Ms. Yun, these two ladies said they want to exchange their private rooms for a four-person hot spring room. Did you know about this?" the waiter in charge asked, verifying the situation.

"Yes, we met them when we arrived, and we'd like to switch to a four-person private room if possible. Can you arrange that?" Su Mengyao explained.

"Oh, so you are Ms. Su's friends. There's no problem changing the private room. We'll cancel your original booking, alright?"

The villa kept a few rooms reserved each day to handle unexpected situations.

None of the four objected since they were the ones who requested the change. There was no point in occupying the original room and causing trouble.

Receiving a positive answer, the waiter's smile became more sincere.

"Then please pack up your things. I'll have someone guide you to the new private room."

With that, the head waiter walked out the door.

Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao quickly slipped into their bathrobes, tying them securely. Under the waiter's guidance, they arrived at the new four-person private room. They also informed the waiter about the dishes they had ordered, ensuring they'd be delivered there.

Upon entering the more spacious four-person hot spring room, Cheng Yushu eagerly went to the locker room to change. When she emerged, she looked like a completely different person.

Zhu Yuehua also changed and entered the hot spring pool. Not long after, the dishes that Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao had ordered arrived. The pavilion in this four-person room was larger than in the double room.

"Yushu! Yuehua, why don't you get up and eat something before soaking?" Su Mengyao called out.

"You two eat first. We can order more if we get hungry," Cheng Yushu replied. She and Zhu Yuehua had just gotten into the hot spring and didn't feel like getting up so soon.

Su Mengyao didn't force them. She and Yun Zijin enjoyed their fruit platter. The red wine they'd ordered was still there, as Su Mengyao had thoughtfully carried it over from the previous room.

Zhu Yuehua and Cheng Yushu each took a glass of red wine, relaxing in the hot spring, sipping slowly. By now, Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao had almost finished their meal and were reclining on lounge chairs next to the pool.

"Hey! I forgot to ask earlier, how did you two meet?"

Cheng Yushu finished her glass of red wine, then directed her question at Yun Zijin and Su Mengyao.

"Funny you ask. Zijin and I were complete strangers who didn't know each other until recently," Su Mengyao responded, perking up at the question.

"Huh? Didn't you get along from the start?"

Cheng Yushu looked puzzled.

"Not exactly. It was a bit unpleasant at first, but we laughed it off later!" Su Mengyao said. Had she not been smart, she might still be entangled with Yang Jiaqian's schemes.

"At least you're not completely blind," Cheng Yushu remarked, recalling the trouble Yang Jiaqian had caused. Su Mengyao had alienated many friends because of that woman.

Su Mengyao knew it was her own fault, so she didn't refute Cheng Yushu's words this time.

"By the way, Zijin, what does your family do? I'm just curious; you don't have to answer if you don't want to," Zhu Yuehua asked hesitantly.

"Ah, I mainly live off collecting rent now," Yun Zijin said simply.

With her system-driven spending tasks, rent collection currently provided the most reliable income.

"Collecting rent in the Imperial Capital?"

Dijing's property prices were notoriously high. Most young people couldn't afford even a bathroom in their lifetime.

"Of course, I'm not joking," Zijin replied earnestly. She had no reason to lie about it.

Zhu Yuehua and Cheng Yushu were stunned. They both relied on their family's support to maintain their current comfortable lives. Although their families owned properties, truly living off rent in Dijing was challenging.

The four girls continued chatting, soaking in the hot spring and enjoying each other's company. The entire day passed in a relaxed haze.

By evening, they reluctantly left the private room and prepared to head home.

"Let's make plans to hang out again next time!"

Cheng Yushu clung to Yun Zijin's arm, already anticipating their next meeting before today's outing had even ended.

"Yes, it's rare to meet someone we get along with. Let's stay in touch!"

Zhu Yuehua agreed, pleasantly surprised to have made a new friend.

"I have few friends in the Imperial Capital; I won't forget you two," Yun Zijin said, genuinely liking Zhu Yuehua and Cheng Yushu and not refusing their suggestion.

The four walked together to the front desk of Liuyue Hot Spring Villa. Yun Zijin took out her black gold card first and handed it to the cashier.
