Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 764 - 763: Twin Villas

Blinking once, a whole night had passed.

Knowing in advance that Zhen Yan and his two companions would be house hunting again on Sunday, Lu Huai and Bai Xue left right after breakfast.

Then, Zhen Yan and the others arrived promptly at the agreed time to meet up with the real estate agent at the target property!

Though the group viewing the house was a bit large, there was nothing the agent hadn’t seen before. He was well accustomed to such spectacles.

After all, he had personally dealt with entire large families, almost ten people, all coming together to view a house.

So, after putting on a professional smile, he began his introduction.

"The apartment is on the second floor, with a layout of two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen, and one bathroom. I’ve already mentioned these details on the phone! Now, let me briefly tell you about the homeowners. That way, when we go up later, it’ll be easier for you to chat with them!"

"Sure, that sounds good. Start by telling us what their situation is!"

Since the agent was speaking directly to Zhen Yan, it was natural for Zhen Yan himself to respond.

Seeing this, the agent regarded Zhen Yan as the decision-maker of the trio (which was pretty much the case). He thus spoke to Zhen Yan with increasing warmth.

"The homeowner seems to be a civil servant. I mean, he’s over fifty and still not retired. His wife has already retired, and their son has been studying abroad. He graduated several years ago, found himself a foreign girlfriend, came back to get married this year, and then went abroad again!"

After saying this, the agent suddenly made a light-hearted joke with the three of them.

"Don’t ask me how I know! Once you enter the house, you’ll understand what I mean! Oh right, the reason the old couple wants to sell the house is that they have their eyes on a villa in the suburbs. They don’t have enough cash on hand, so they’re looking to sell this place to make up the difference!"

——

Zhen Yu naturally heard everything the agent just said.

But her attention was entirely captured by two words—"Villa? Where in the suburbs are there villas?"

"Uh, are you interested in buying?!"

Isn’t that what they say about occupational diseases? The agent’s first response was just that kind of question!

But we’re talking about a Capital villa! Even though Zhen Yu had already accumulated some wealth, she wasn’t about to let it go to her head.

So, of course, she couldn’t say she wanted to buy without even asking about the price!

She had to start with a candid response, "Just curious!" before abruptly changing the subject and asking, "Could you tell me how much a villa in the Capital costs right now? And what’s the specific location?"

"There are many locations to choose from! As for the price, it’s hard to say. There’s a range of prices—it depends on the neighborhood, the size! Whether it’s a standalone house, a semi-detached, or a terraced!" With the slim hope of striking it rich, the agent energetically sold the villas idea to them. "The villa that the homeowner of this apartment is interested in is a 200 square meter terraced house. I’ve heard the asking price is over two million yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yan couldn’t help but exclaim, "That’s so expensive!"

The agent smiled at his reaction before continuing, "I happen to have a semi-detached house on hand, near the airport. It’s also around 200 square meters and very new, just built last year! In fact, this size is practically the smallest among villas! If you’re interested, after we view this apartment, you could come take a look with me."

After hearing this, Zhen Yu was almost tempted!

Then she was very tempted, and her heart was stirred. After all, it’s a Capital villa for just two million yuan...

Although she was already excited, Zhen Yu still wanted to ask the exact price in order to know if she could afford it. After all, it sounded like the villas were not all located in the same area, and the price difference could be significant...

Zhen Yu’s frugality from her previous life had taught her self-discipline. Her shopping mentality had always been—if I can’t afford it, I won’t even look!

"As for the price, how much is the asking price for this semi-detached villa you mentioned?!"

Initially, Zhen Yu had thought this agent was quite reliable, but his answer suddenly became vague.

"The total price... of course, it would be over two million!"

"Over two million? Could you be more specific? After all, two million and one yuan is that amount, and two million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand is also that! There’s a big difference between them!" Zhen Yu’s dissatisfaction made her tone sharp.

And she couldn’t help but grumble inwardly.

"What’s with this agent? He was fine just a moment ago. Why does he fall short at the crucial moment?"

——

"Um..." The agent hesitated when questioned.

But his intuition suddenly told him—this girl might be serious!

So in less than three seconds, he switched to a determined look and respectfully apologized to Zhen Yu.

"Sorry! I wasn’t clear just now. The precise area is 201 square meters, and the seller’s asking price is 2.8 million."

Before the agent had finished speaking, Zhen Yan was the first to jump out and loudly exclaim, "What?! That’s way too expensive! That’s more than ten thousand yuan per square meter!"

Han Mingyue frowned too, but she remained silent.

But Zhen Yu just nodded slightly and said, "Yeah, it’s a bit pricey! Let’s go upstairs and finish viewing this apartment before discussing further."

Heaven knows! When she said "a bit pricey," how much Zhen Yu was internally contradicting herself!

Because her true thought was—"My goodness! That price is ridiculously cheap, isn’t it?!"

The agent was just about to nod and agree with "Okay!" but Zhen Yan immediately retorted, "What else is there to talk about? No need to discuss further! Even if we continued, we couldn’t afford it."

The reason Zhen Yan said this was that he didn’t know about his sister selling some of her shares in the dairy company. In his mind, even if he and Zhen Yu combined all their money, it probably wouldn’t amount to the fraction of 2.8 million!

So, the expression on his face was as if he was speaking the truth.

However! Although Zhen Yan thought he was speaking the truth, the agent was completely unaware of the siblings’ situation.

So he suddenly began to doubt his own intuition and asked himself, "How come? My instincts are usually sharp! Why did they fail me this time?!"
