Volume 3 Comprehensive Film and Television Chapter 164 Helping Luo Xi buy back her house
In Beijie Lane, Yuan Xudong led Luo Xi out of the car, followed by Sun Jianhong and Xia Weijun. The four of them walked into the lane, turned left and right twice, and found Luo Xi's house, a rather old alley. Sun Jianhong went forward, knocked on the door and shouted:
"Anyone there?"
"I'm coming, I'm coming, it's so late, who is it?"
Lu Yiming and Zhang Jingwen walked down the stairs in their pajamas, opened the door, and looked at Yuan Xudong and the other three standing outside . Without waiting for Lu Yiming to speak, Zhang Jingwen said bluntly:
"It's so late. Who are you and what do you want to do?"
"Sorry to bother you. My name is Yuan Xudong, and this is Luo Xi. She used to live here. This is her home. Her father just passed away, and the house was sold by her stepmother Liu Shuhua. We want to come over to learn more about the situation. Can we come in and sit down?"
Thinking about the one million house that her mother-in-law had bought for more than 500,000 yuan, which was half the market price, she thought it was a good thing that fell from the sky, but she didn't expect that there was a problem with the house. Thinking of this, Zhang Jingwen, who didn't want her family to suffer a loss, directly refused:
"My mother-in-law spent real money to buy the house from Liu Shuhua. The contract was signed in black and white, and her name is on the property certificate. If you have any questions, just go find Liu Shuhua. Why are you looking for our family?"
"Jingwen, we are guests. We want to come here to understand the situation. What are you yelling about?"
Rolling his eyes at his fiancée, Lu Yiming opened the door and invited Yuan Xudong and the others:
"Come in, I don't have anything to treat you at home. My friend just gave me a can of West Lake Longjing tea. I'll make some for you."
"Thank you, sorry for bothering me!"
Yuan Xudong led Luo Xi into the house. The house was not big, with two floors covering no more than 120 square meters. He asked Sun Jianhong and Xia Weijun to guard outside the door, and he led Luo Xi to sit on the sofa in the living room. He looked at Lu Yiming who was busy pouring water and making tea and said with a smile:
"Sir, what's your name?"
"My name is Lu Yiming, and that person just now is my fiancée Zhang Jingwen."
When she walked into the house, she saw Yuan Xudong holding Luo Xi's hand and sitting on the sofa, while her fiancé was busy serving tea. The tea they used was the West Lake Longjing tea that he asked a friend to buy. It was originally intended to be a gift for her father. She couldn't help but said angrily:
"Lu Yiming, that's the tea you bought for my father. Do you have to serve good tea and water to anyone who comes to your house?"
"What are you talking about?"
Giving his fiancée a blank look, Lu Yiming brought two cups of tea to Yuan Xudong and Luo Xi. Seeing Luo Xi's dull eyes, he looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a slight hesitation:
"Mr. Yuan, Miss Luo is..."
"She has some eye problems. Thank you for the good tea."
Yuan Xudong picked up a cup of hot tea and placed it in Luo Qian's hand and said softly:
"It's a little hot, be careful!"
“Hmm~~”
Nodding slightly, Luo Qian looked at Lu Yiming and Zhang Jingwen and said with a smile:
"Mr. Lu, Ms. Zhang, I'm sorry to bother you so late. I'll just learn about the situation and leave. I won't come to bother you again in the future!"
Hearing Luo Xi say this, Zhang Jingwen felt a little relieved. She looked at Luo Xi and Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"It's none of our business. I didn't expect that you are blind but quite reasonable. The house was bought by my mother-in-law. We don't know much. We only know that the person who sold the house is Liu Shuhua, and we don't know anything else."
"Stop talking and help me bring a cup of tea to the two brothers outside to warm them up in the cold weather."
"You are so kindhearted. Other people buy new houses when they get married, but you and I are having problems buying a second-hand house. It's really unlucky!"
After rolling her eyes at Lu Yiming, Zhang Jingwen still brought the tea to Sun Jianhong and Xia Weijun who were standing outside the door. Yuan Xudong looked at Lu Yiming and said with a smile:
"Mr. Lu, your fiancée is pretty good. She is beautiful, thrifty, and willing to buy such an old house to marry you. Such good girls are becoming increasingly rare nowadays."
"Mr. Yuan, you're joking. Jingwen is just that carefree and unforgiving."
Lu Yiming sat down opposite Yuan Xudong and Luo Qian, and said seriously:
"Mr. Yuan, Ms. Luo, just as Jingwen said, the house was bought by my mother. We only know that the person who sold the house is Liu Shuhua, and the name of her husband Luo Jianguo is written on the property certificate. I heard that Luo Jianguo has passed away, so the house belongs to Liu Shuhua. She was in a hurry to sell it at a low price, so my mother bought it. Is there any problem here?"
After comforting Luo Qian a little, Yuan Xudong looked at Lu Yiming and explained:
"Luo Xi is getting eye treatment in SH. When I returned to XX today, I learned that her father Luo Jianguo had passed away. Her stepmother Liu Shuhua abandoned Luo Xi on the central street, leaving only 5,000 yuan and a note saying that she had to sell the house to pay off the debts owed by Luo Xi's father.
Luo Xi said that her father had no debts at all. On the contrary, her family had some savings in addition to the house. We want to find Liu Shuhua to find out the whole story. Do you have her contact information or address?"
"What else is there to ask?"
Without waiting for Lu Yiming to speak, Zhang Jingwen walked back into the room and said:
"Isn't it obvious? Her husband passed away, leaving behind a blind daughter who is not even her biological daughter. Liu Shuhua was afraid that she would be a burden to her, so she must have run away!
Before leaving, she even sold her house and hid away with such a large sum of money. How could you easily find her? I have to say that Liu Shuhua is really cruel. Isn't this pushing her to a dead end? "
After taking a look at Yuan Xudong and Luo Qian, seeing that they both looked calm, Lu Yiming turned around and glared at his fiancée Zhang Jingwen and said:
"Could you please stop talking?"
"Am I wrong?"
"Miss Zhang is right. Ever since my aunt said she was going to the supermarket to buy some things, I had a feeling she was going to abandon me. Actually, she did nothing wrong. I am not her biological daughter, and my eyesight is not good. Since she came to our house two years ago, she has been taking care of me. After all, everyone gets tired sometimes, and it is only right that you give and get.
I just can't forgive her for doing those things behind my back, so I want to find her and ask her clearly. She is my only relative, and she promised not to abandon me. If she couldn't do it, why did she promise me that and even sold the house that my parents left for me? Didn't she know that I had nowhere to go?"
Looking at Luo Xi who was crying silently, Yuan Xudong wiped her tears and comforted her:
"Luo Xi, please don't say that. You still have me. I will definitely help you find Liu Shuhua. I will take you back to SH and help you heal your eyes. I will let you see what you look like and what I look like, okay?"
"Brother Xudong, I..."
Seeing Luo Qian sitting there hesitantly, Zhang Jingwen said anxiously on her behalf:
"Such a good man, he doesn't despise you even though you are blind, why are you still hesitating? Go back to SH with him quickly, and when your eyes are healed, I promise you won't regret it. Such a handsome man is only slightly inferior to our Yiming, you've made a fortune, don't you know?"
Lu Yiming blushed at his fiancée's words and changed the subject:
"I called home and asked my mother if she knew about Liu Shuhua's situation."
After that, he took out his cell phone and called home. After a while, the call was connected and a female voice came from the other end:
"Hello, who is this?"
"It's me, your brother, where's mom?"
"Mom is asleep, brother, it's the middle of the night, why are you calling home instead of sleeping with my sister-in-law?"
"Tell Mom to get up and answer the phone. There's a problem with the house she bought."
"No way, is it that serious?"
"Hurry up, don't dawdle."
"Got it. Wait a moment."
"Hey, Yiming, what's wrong with the house?"
"Mom, it's nothing serious. Do you know Liu Shuhua's contact information or address?"
"I didn't. I only met Liu Shuhua once. You bought the house from an agency. You should go to the second-hand housing market to find out. Tell me the truth. What happened?"
"It's nothing serious. I'll talk to you tomorrow when I get home. I have guests at home. I'm hanging up now!"
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing Lu Yiming about to hang up the phone, Yuan Xudong quickly said:
"I have to leave for a few days tomorrow. Since my aunt has bought this house, I want to buy it back. You and Miss Zhang are both young people, and you definitely don't want to use such an old house as your wedding house. How about you sell the house to me and buy a new one?"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong wanted to buy this old house, Zhang Jingwen, who was very happy, said directly:
"How much are you willing to pay? This house is 118 square meters. According to the current housing prices, it will cost at least 1 million yuan. We won't sell it for less than that. Buying a new house will delay our wedding. All this costs money!"
Hearing that his fiancée was going to sell the house she bought for more than 500,000 yuan to Yuan Xudong and Luo Qian for more than 1 million yuan, he doubled the price. Thinking of Luo Qian's miserable life, the upright Lu Yiming spoke directly:
"My mother spent more than 500,000 yuan on this house, plus some handling fees and so on, you can give me 550,000 yuan."
"Lu Yiming, are you crazy?"
Without waiting for Yuan Xudong and Luo Qian to respond, Zhang Jingwen pointed at Lu Yiming and said angrily:
"This house cost at least 600,000 yuan. It's fine if you don't make any money, but you even put in 50,000 yuan. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? I don't care. It's at least 800,000 yuan. I won't sell it for a penny less!"
After hearing Zhang Jingwen's voice, Lu Yiming's mother's voice rang out on the phone:
"Yiming, have you made Jingwen angry again?"
Hearing her mother-in-law's voice, Zhang Jingwen immediately came to Lu Yiming's phone and cried deliberately:
"Mom, Yiming wants to sell the house you bought for 600,000 yuan to someone else for 550,000 yuan. Please take care of him!"
"What? Yiming, why do you want to sell the house?"
Looking at the noisy Zhang Jingwen, Yuan Xudong spoke directly:
"Let's go with the 800,000 that Miss Zhang said. I'll add another 200,000. I wish you a happy wedding. Luo Xi and I will leave tomorrow. She wants to stay here for one night. Could you please come over and bring the property certificate? We'll sign the purchase contract. I'll arrange for my subordinates to follow up on the rest of the procedures. Is that okay?"
"Okay, it's settled. I'll ask Xiaoya and mom to take a taxi over. You just need to wait for ten minutes!"
Hearing that Yuan Xudong was going to spend 1 million to buy this decades-old alley, which meant that her family had made a profit of hundreds of thousands of yuan, Zhang Jingwen was overjoyed. She immediately snatched Lu Yiming's phone and ran upstairs to tell her mother-in-law the good news. Seeing Lu Yiming who was a little embarrassed, Yuan Xudong handed him a business card and said with a smile:
"I run a small business in SH. I think you're a good person. If you want to develop in SH, you can call me. I don't mean any other meaning. After all, more friends mean more paths."
After taking the business card and taking a look at it, there was a long list of titles and positions, all from well-known large companies. Lu Yiming looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"If I had known you were so rich, I would have asked Jingwen to ask for more. It would be considered robbing the rich to help the poor."
"It's not too late to ask for more now. I'm definitely going to buy this old house, whether it's one million or ten million. Would you consider it?"
"Mr. Yuan is joking!"
Putting the business card on the coffee table, Lu Yiming drank the newly brewed West Lake Longjing tea and said with a smile:
"A gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. If Mr. Yuan and I were to switch places, would you take one million or ten million?"
After taking a look at Luo Xi who was hesitant to speak, Yuan Xudong took her hands and answered Lu Yiming's question:
"I don't want any of them, I only want Rosie. Money can be earned again if it's lost, but Rosie is unique. She is like an unpolished jade. I believe she will shine and amaze everyone one day in the future."
