Having spent so much time in Beijing, he was aware of the situation with that house.
If the house hadn’t been so weird, with that price, he would’ve bought it a long time ago.
Shen Mianmian shook her head, "I wasn’t cheated. I know it’s a haunted house, but it was cheap, and you know my current situation. If I want to buy a house in Beijing, that’s all I can afford."
"You weren’t cheated into buying that kind of house?" Lu Siyuan was furious, raising his hand and knocking on her head, "Shen Mianmian, have you got spots on your brain or what? Do you know that house is deadly? If you were out of money, why didn’t you borrow from me? Do you think my years in Beijing were in vain? I was only busy for a short while, and you stirred up such trouble. What about Brother He? He’s so shrewd, didn’t he stop you?"
The more Lu Siyuan thought about it, the angrier he became. How could this girl become so foolish after getting into Beijing University? She used to be quite astute. Check latest chapters at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦•𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Lu Siyuan, enough," Shen Mianmian rubbed the top of her head where it hurt from his knock, "I don’t plan on living in the house. I’m looking at its potential for appreciation."
"Appreciation?" Lu Siyuan laughed angrily, "What appreciation value does that house have? Even if it appreciates to ten million, by the time you’re buried in the ground, you still won’t be able to sell it. Have you ever heard of ’valueless despite high prices’?"
An item may be worth a fortune, but if nobody buys it, isn’t it still junk?
Such a simple principle, why can’t she understand?
"The house has already been bought, what do you suggest we do?" Shen Mianmian directly passed the buck to him.
Lu Siyuan was at a loss for words due to her question, and thus became even angrier, "Why didn’t you tell me when you bought it?"
"I was afraid you’d stop me, so I kept it from you," Shen Mianmian told the truth straightforwardly.
Yang Xiaoxi nodded vigorously; Shen Mianmian had specifically reminded her to keep it a secret before.
"You..." Lu Siyuan was left completely speechless.
Shen Mianmian gave him a disdainful look, "Alright, stop worrying about it. It’s already bought, and there’s no use talking about those things now."
Lu Siyuan was initially worried about Shen Mianmian when he heard the news and was upset that she didn’t tell him something so important.
But after Shen Mianmian’s remark, his anger had dissipated by more than half, "How’s your leg? I heard it was serious, and I thought I might have to visit you at the funeral home."
"It’s alright, still usable for now." Shen Mianmian hopped around on the floor in a circle.
"Let’s go!" Lu Siyuan huffed, "I’ll take you guys back."
The three of them headed toward Shen Mianmian’s place. Lu Siyuan asked about the house again and said that he would take her to see it on Sunday. He had inquired about the house before but had never actually gone to see it.
Although not superstitious, he acknowledged that the house indeed had issues, which probably related to feng shui. There was no need to ruin his own luck out of curiosity.
Now that Shen Mianmian had bought the house, he felt uneasy and thought it was better to check it out.
If the house indeed had issues, it had to be sold quickly, even at a loss. Losing money was better than losing a life.
Shen Mianmian obviously had no objections; after all, the house was already bought, and it was a done deal.
After Lu Siyuan dropped the two near their place, he went back home. Yang Xiaoxi was talking boastfully about going to find Cheng Feiyang, and they didn’t notice until they reached the door that Ruan Yiqian was there again.
"What is the Ruan Family up to? It never ends!" Yang Xiaoxi muttered. It hadn’t even been a few days, and they’d visited three times already.
