Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 263 - 262: The House (Second Update)

Due to Fang Shaohan’s cold demeanor, Han Xiao and Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t have a pleasant conversation. Mainly because if the two of them were chatting happily, the look over there would be even more piercing like a drawn blade.

So, it’s absolutely impossible to have a pleasant conversation under such beast-like gazes.

Thus, the car drove to the front of the residential area in an eerie silence.

This is a new residential area not far from the Jiaotong University, with a low occupancy rate, and all new houses.

Gu Xiaoqing had visited before, but since there weren’t any responsible security staff and the community infrastructure wasn’t fully developed, she couldn’t find anyone to ask.

If Han Xiao hadn’t brought them this time, Gu Xiaoqing wouldn’t have thought to come.

This should be a new community after the renovation of an old one. There were quite a few cars transporting furniture and appliances, indicating that many people were moving back in.

"Here we are, let’s get out."

The car stopped in front of a seven-story building, and the environment here was nice.

Gu Xiaoqing got out, and Fang Shaohan was already standing beside her.

Standing there, Gu Xiaoqing immediately felt a sense of oppression; this person was simply an inescapable shining presence, causing her heart to race uncontrollably.

There was no way—this heart couldn’t remain indifferent.

Han Xiao led the two of them up the stairs to the third floor, took out the key, and opened the door of one of the homes.

Inside was still an unfinished roughcast house, but it featured a spacious three-bedroom, two-living-room layout, with excellent lighting and ventilation.

Gu Xiaoqing walked in and immediately knew she would like it; houses in such locations are rare.

Spacious and bright, with ventilation—this is a good house in Shanghai.

Moreover, the size of the house is substantial.

It should be over a hundred square meters; as an investment, Gu Xiaoqing could foresee its appreciation.

My house, my money.

She examined the house carefully.

Han Xiao was still introducing, "Rest assured, this house is definitely worth more than its price tag, offering 195 square meters of space, three bedrooms and two living rooms, with a north-south orientation that ensures ample sunshine, warmth in winter, and coolness in summer. If you’re not satisfied, there are other houses you can choose from; don’t worry until you’re fully satisfied."

This guy was quite thorough indeed.

This made Gu Xiaoqing think Han Xiao’s family must be in business too, probably with some big developer background, possibly government ties, and certainly not lacking money.

Gu Xiaoqing chuckled, "I’m very satisfied with this place; last time I visited, there were no vacant houses anymore. How surprising that Han Xiao’s influence could get a new vacancy just like that."

Han Xiao boasted proudly, "Of course, this is a project developed in cooperation with my family, and these few units were kept back for networking purposes. Since you’re interested, of course, you’re prioritized as a friend."

These words indeed served as proof of his capability.

Haha.

Gu Xiaoqing smiled awkwardly; compared to him, she was surely like a minor spell facing a grand one.

"I really owe you then; once my house is organized, I’ll treat you to a meal."

It’s a favor debt, but Han Xiao is straightforward, and Gu Xiaoqing really liked this part of him.

Of course, this liking isn’t that kind of affection.

Fang Shaohan’s face immediately darkened a few shades.

Liking?

Truly tempted to kick this kid; why does he seem so unpleasant?

Han Xiao didn’t realize the boss was itching to kill, and the target was himself; at the other side, Han Xiao cheerfully responded, "Fine, I’ll be waiting for your invitation."

Being able to taste Gu Xiaoqing’s cooking, is that something to flaunt to those people? Guess the boss hasn’t had such enjoyment.

There was a chilling aura behind.

No need to turn around; Han Xiao immediately grinned obsequiously and said, "Of course, Boss must come too. Without Boss’s intentions, finding a real house would be difficult."

Gu Xiaoqing was speechless—just how oppressed had Fang Shaohan made him?

But she was curious indeed, how did Fang Shaohan manage to instill such genuine awe in these people?

The three went to handle the paperwork, and of course, this process only involved simple document signing, confirming the owner of the house. The remaining steps for the property certificate would be handled by the manager assigned by Han Xiao.

Gu Xiaoqing paid the house full amount, with Fang Shaohan accompanying her to the bank to fetch cash, which was delivered over.

The total was 189,000.

At that time, the house was only 1,100 per square meter, so cheap it made Gu Xiaoqing feel awfully itchy inside; this was to become a house worth tens of millions in the future.

Investment costs were just this little.

Too cheap, practically at a bargain price.

Unfortunately, Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t chase after them for another buy.

She’d look for opportunities later to continue buying properties; it’s the most stable investment.

Everything done, Han Xiao left first due to prior engagements.

Fang Shaohan drove Gu Xiaoqing back to the bubble tea shop.

Along the way, he was perpetually annoyed, frowning, with a hostile face that warned strangers off.

Gu Xiaoqing didn’t bother with him.

She couldn’t possibly appease him intentionally. Besides, Gu Xiaoqing knew exactly why Fang Shaohan was upset—his recent behavior had been quite telling; to claim it as a mere one-sided crush was definitely not true—Fang Shaohan indeed harbored feelings for her.

But her curt refusal today meant pushing Fang Shaohan far away, signaling she wanted no involvement with him.

Could this master be so easygoing and not get angry?

Unfortunately, the anticipated eruption of anger didn’t occur; after dropping Gu Xiaoqing off at the bubble tea shop, Fang Shaohan hurriedly left.

Gu Xiaoqing sighed in relief.

At this moment, she was completely relaxed, already mentally drafting plans for the new house’s renovation—a simple blueprint. This was her first home in the true sense, different from her parents’—wholly hers.

It was hard not to be excited, and she planned to design a home matching her vision.

Even imagining it had her too excited to sleep.

Gu Xiaoqing had already planned out the three rooms—a master bedroom, a study, and a guest room, convenient for family or friends to stay overnight.

The living room and dining room go without saying, designed with modern inspirations. Gu Xiaoqing wouldn’t skimp on herself; at least the appliances must be complete.

The kitchen and bathroom are places typically used most often and cannot be neglected.

Everything must be perfect.

Three days later, Gu Xiaoqing found a renovation company and started remodeling the house.

She wanted this completed before the school started.

Fortunately, in Shanghai, many things are easy to find, and the renovation was completed in less than a month.

During this time, Fang Shaohan only came once, gave some instructions, and never returned; later, a call informed Gu Xiaoqing he had already left.

Gu Xiaoqing’s house was ready.
