It was their landlord.
"You haven't paid this month's rent. When are you planning to pay me? Let me tell you, if you can't come up with the money, you'd better pack up and leave."
Shen Zhenshan quickly forced a smile. "We've already found a new place. Can you give us two more days? We'll be out by then."
The landlord gave him a skeptical look before finally saying, "Fine. I'll give you two more days. I'll be back to take back the apartment the day after tomorrow."
Once the door was shut, Old Mrs. Shen said anxiously, "We haven't found a new place yet! Why did you tell him we did?"
Nearby, Shen Xiaoya picked up a half-rotten orange from the table and started to peel and eat it.
Shen Zhenshan said, "Remember that courtyard house we went to see before? It's still empty. We can just move right in. I refuse to believe Shen Yi would have the gall to throw us out."
Old Mrs. Shen hesitated.
She remembered Shen Yi's cold, ruthless demeanor and felt a twinge of fear.
