Volume 2 Amber Chapter 30: 7 Denton Street

Chen Lun and Fuluo pushed the door open and walked in.

After a polite greeting, he expressed his intention to rent a house to the florist, and was then warmly received.

After a lively conversation, Chen Lun learned the other party's name, Caroline.

Mrs. Caroline is the landlord of the entire building and usually runs the flower shop downstairs. Because it is located at the corner of the street, there are two shops next to it, which have also been rented out, namely a coffee shop and a bookstore.

The building is not high, only four floors.

Except for the shops on the first floor, each floor can accommodate two families. Now only one house on the top floor is vacant.

"Come, have a cup of flower tea, child."

Mrs. Caroline enthusiastically poured a cup of hot tea for Chen Lun and Floyd.

Chen Lun thanked him.

After taking the hot tea, he placed one cup in front of Floy and kindly reminded her to be careful of the heat.

Mrs. Caroline nodded secretly when she saw this. She was very satisfied with the two siblings.

The elder brother is gentle and upright, while the younger sister is gentle and quiet.

Both of them were very well-mannered in their speech and behavior, and did not seem like children from ordinary families.

Another important point is that they are all very good-looking, which can make her happy every day.

It’s a pity that this girl named Floy is blind, which is really pitiful.

Fortunately, her brother never abandoned her and took her to Amber City to live with relatives, just to treat her eye disease.

The sentimental Mrs. Caroline felt her heart melt and she sighed several times.

"Little Jack, if you want to rent the empty room on the fourth floor, it only costs 5 silver ducats a week...

Oh, of course, if you don’t have that much money right now, you can just keep the debt.”

Although it is just an outer city area, it is located on a major traffic route and is relatively close to the bustling downtown area. The rent based on the market price would be at least several times higher than this number.

It was just that Mrs. Caroline deliberately lowered the rent.

Even the other tenants did not move in at the normal market price.

However, although Mrs. Caroline is not short of money, she does have certain requirements for tenants.

First of all, you need to be clean, have no bad habits, have a decent job and most importantly, have a kind heart.

"Thank you, Mrs. Caroline... Here are 20 silver jewels. We'll stay here for a month."

Chen Lun handed over a small bag filled with silver coins.

Then he added:

"Because I'm here to stay with my relatives, I'm not sure how long I can stay here, so I'm just staying for a while."

"Oh little Jack, you don't have to be like that."

Mrs. Caroline pushed back the purse and said in a lower voice:

"You and your sister have just arrived in the big city, and you still have a lot of money to spend. Don't rush to pay me the rent..."

Then she took their hands and walked out. Chen Lun had no choice but to put away his purse.

"Come, I'll take you upstairs to have a look...

Your neighbors are all friendly people, I believe you can become friends. "

"That's really troublesome for you, but won't it be a problem if there is no one to take care of the flower shop?"

Chen Lun and Fuluo were led out of the flower shop and asked.

Mrs. Caroline smiled and waved her hand.

"No problem. The flower shop's business isn't very good, so I just tidied it up because I was bored."

As she spoke, she walked into the corridor on one side.

Just as Chen Lun and Floyd followed Mrs. Caroline and disappeared into the corridor, two young men walked out of an alley across the street.

The two men were wearing short brown leather jackets and striped tights. One of them was smoking a cheap cigarette and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect that squatting on that guy would yield unexpected rewards..."

He winked at the other man.

"Go back and report the situation to the boss and call more people. I'll continue to keep an eye on them here to prevent those two little fat sheep from getting lost..."

"Okay, then you better keep an eye on them. This man and woman are definitely worth a high price!"

The other young man licked his lips and left first.

"Especially that girl, wow...she's prettier than the congressman's daughter. The maids at the Flower and Bird Tavern are nothing compared to her!"

…

Mrs. Caroline led Chen Lun and the other person upstairs.

The wooden floor looked quite old and made a slight creaking sound when stepped on.

"I'm sorry, this house was passed down from my husband's grandfather. It's quite old."

Mrs. Caroline explained as they walked.

Going up to the third floor, she pointed to the door in the left corridor.

“Connie and her father live in this household.

Connie was a hard-working girl who went to a nearby technical college during the day and worked at night to take care of her sick father, Mr. Hood.

Mrs. Caroline said, and pointed to the right again.

"Here live the three Moriarty siblings, they are all good kids.

The elder brother goes to work at a foreign trade company in the city center every morning and takes care of his younger brothers and sisters...

Oh, by the way, I heard that my younger sisters Melissa and Connie were classmates. "

After listening to the introduction, Chen Lun felt that it sounded familiar. He seemed to have heard of these three siblings somewhere before.

Without further inquiry, he and Floy followed Mrs. Caroline to the fourth floor where they would be staying.

Mrs. Caroline led them into the room on the left.

The room was not big, a classic three-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom, one-kitchen and one balcony. The furniture inside was very complete, although a little old, but very clean, Chen Lun was very satisfied with it.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Caroline. Floyd and I love it here."

"Oh really? That's great..."

Mrs. Caroline was also very happy. She continued:

"Oh, little Jack, you probably need to buy some daily necessities and other sundries, so you should save your money...

If you don’t mind, you can bring your sister to the second floor and eat with me in the morning and evening.”

"Thank you, Mrs. Caroline."

Chen Lun was a bit troubled at first, he had too many things to do next, time was too tight, and he couldn't take care of Floy too much. It was just right for her to have a meal at Mrs. Caroline's house, which saved a lot of trouble.

"I'll pay you extra, Mrs. Caroline."

Mrs. Caroline was about to refuse, but she saw the young man's serious face, which was both mature and handsome.

"This is a necessary courtesy for a gentleman, please do not refuse it."

"Oh well."

Seeing this, Mrs. Caroline really couldn't refuse such a kind and handsome young man, and her evaluation of the brother and sister increased again.

"One more Silver Goblet per week, it's settled!"

She covered her mouth and laughed a few times, then turned and walked out.

"Oh, by the way, the neighbor next to you is a young man who lives alone. Although his attitude is a bit cold, he is actually a nice person."

Mrs. Caroline paused at the door, then took her leave.

After closing the door, Chen Lun looked around.

He first put down his backpack, then poured a glass of water for himself and Floy, and lay down comfortably on the sofa.

"It's been a long time since I've had a rest like this..."
