"Don’t worry, even if I wanted to buy it, I might not be able to afford this house." Shen Mianmian thought differently from them, the house was so big, even if it was haunted, it couldn’t possibly be that cheap.
Given the current property prices, even for a haunted house, the chance of it being below one hundred thousand was quite low.
As soon as she said this, Cheng Feiyang and Yang Xiaoxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Xining, however, felt somewhat disappointed—if Shen Mianmian didn’t buy it, wouldn’t her efforts in bringing Mianmian here have been in vain?
"Young lady, are you interested in buying a house in Meilin Garden?" the taxi driver, having heard their conversation, couldn’t help but join in, "The house is not expensive now, much cheaper than the market price, I estimate you could buy it for about seventy or eighty thousand."
Shen Mianmian’s eyes lit up, "Driver, how do you know?"
"I’ve driven people here to see this house before." The taxi driver kindly advised, "Young lady, let me give you a piece of advice, no matter how cheap this house is, do not buy it. In recent years, some brave souls have come to buy the house, but after seeing it, they all gave up. This house is too ominous. People who come here, once they go in, experience quite a few supernatural events. One of them was planning to buy it but met with a car accident on the way back from viewing the house. If it happened once or twice, it could be a coincidence, but with so many occurrences, do you still think it’s a coincidence? Forget about paying money for it, even if it was free, no one would dare to move in."
"Driver, you’re right, this house really is sinister," Yang Xiaoxi agreed wholeheartedly, "Just now, when Mianmian went in to take a look, the tree trunk above broke off and nearly hit Mianmian. That trunk was as thick as the mouth of a bowl, if it had hit someone, it could have been lethal!"
"So, this house can’t be bought. Anyone who goes there ends up being unlucky for several years. After you go back, you should quickly visit a temple to rid yourselves of the bad luck," the taxi driver dramatically continued.
Yang Xiaoxi thought it made a lot of sense and even took the opportunity to ask where nearby there was a temple.
Shen Mianmian was amused by their conversation, but she didn’t say much. To be honest, if she truly could afford this house, she wouldn’t hesitate to buy it. As for those rumors, it wasn’t that she wasn’t afraid, but she felt that the human heart was more terrifying than ghosts and spirits.
When they got back to their place, it had already gotten dark. Shen Mianmian was cooking in the kitchen, while Yang Xiaoxi followed her around, constantly chattering, "Mianmian, please don’t even think about buying it! It’s too sinister. Why would that trunk break just when you went? One incident might be a coincidence, but two? Life is more important than money. We can’t gamble with our lives."
Shen Mianmian chuckled, "Stop nagging like an old lady. I can’t believe you’re a university student and still believe in these things." For origınal chapters go to 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
"It’s not that I believe it, but that house is just too eerie. It’s better to believe it exists than not. After graduation, I was planning to stick with you. What would I do if something happened to you?"
Without Shen Mianmian, she didn’t even want to stay in Beijing anymore.
Shen Mianmian thought for a moment, then analyzed seriously, "I don’t think the house has anything to do with spirits. It might be bad Feng Shui. If you explain it scientifically, it could be that the magnetic field is off, but definitely, the house is unlucky and unsuitable for living."
She didn’t understand Feng Shui, but she believed in it.
It wasn’t something she could explain in a sentence or two, and she didn’t know how to explain it.
