Chapter 1180 Accompanying Gu Dongxing to Buy a House (Part 6)

Le Shan breathed a sigh of relief: "So the Eldest Lady plans to become a landlady."

Being a landlady wasn’t a good term in the past, but now with the reform and opening up, it seems it’s not impossible.

The first courtyard he took them to was in East City, and surprisingly, it was still within the Inner City of Beijing!

That guy Le Shui, how did he find it?

Le Shui went straight to knock on the door: "Is anyone home? Guests have arrived."

The courtyard door was opened, and a man came out with his hands folded, looking at the four of them through his nostrils: "What are you here for?"

Just as Mengyu was about to speak, Gu Dongxing pulled her behind him, facing the man: "We heard your courtyard is for sale, so we’re here to take a look."

He exerted a bit of presence, pressing against the man.

The man felt the pressure and dared not look at people through his nostrils anymore, but still with his sleeves folded, he sized up Gu Dongxing with a bit of disdain in his eyes: "My courtyard costs two hundred thousand, can you afford it?"

Upon hearing this, Mengyu knew the other party was deliberately quoting a high price. She remembered Cheng Jiuhe’s courtyard, although it had two entrances, was actually a three-entry layout, with a rear garden left over from the land, and the market price was only around eighteen.

This courtyard was not as new as Jiu He’s, but the land was much bigger, yet only two hundred thousand, which was definitely not the market price.

"We need to go in first to see if your courtyard is worth this price before we can negotiate with the owner," Gu Dongxing said.

The man seemed to be somewhat ashamed and angry: "What owner, I am the owner!"

Gu Dongxing coldly glanced at him: "Is that so? My apologies. Then, owner, please let us in to look at the house, and then we can discuss the price, how about it?"

Having no choice, the owner let them in and then closed the door.

The four of them, led by the owner, toured the entire courtyard.

This was an authentic three-entry courtyard, about the same size as the one Mengyu’s father transferred to her. However, unlike Mengyu’s courtyard, which had a large garden on the right side, this one had a garden of about over three hundred square meters at the back of the courtyard.

What Mengyu appreciated the most was the elegant arrangement of the courtyard, which was completely at odds with its owner.

After showing Mengyu and the others around, the owner asked: "So, this courtyard is worth two hundred thousand, right? If you’re willing to pay two hundred thousand, I can sell it to you right away."

There was a hint of urgency in his eyes.

Just as Gu Dongxing was about to speak, Mengyu tugged on his hand and said to the "owner": "To be honest, although your courtyard is a three-entry courtyard and the land is barely large enough, the courtyard is too old. If you want to renovate it, it would cost at least a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, otherwise, it can’t be fixed.

So, buying your courtyard for two hundred thousand and then spending another hundred thousand on renovation brings it to three hundred thousand. As far as I know, for three hundred thousand, you can already buy a large four-entry courtyard.

So, you’re not really intending to sell the courtyard, are you?"

Seeing a woman like Mengyu speaking while Gu Dongxing, a man, remained silent, the "owner" frowned slightly and said: "This courtyard was an estate of a high-ranking official from the Late Qing Dynasty. Although it’s a bit old, it’s definitely worth this price. If you can’t afford it, don’t waste time here."

"Can’t afford it? Hehe." Mengyu took out a bankbook: "Open your eyes wide and see if I can afford your courtyard or not?"

For people who look down on others with contempt, you just have to smash them with wealth and power!
