Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 771 - 770: First Look at the Detached House
It was just a casual diss, but after saying it, Zhen Yu actually took it to heart!
"Right... Han Mingyue! Why don’t you buy a villa too? I’ll top up whatever money you’re short of! I guarantee you won’t get a bad deal or be cheated! It’s really worth what you pay for, don’t miss out on this deal..."
Zhen Yu’s pitch to convince Han Mingyue to buy a house was just like those bankrupt Jiangnan Leather Factory stalls trying to sell off discounted leather bags!
Zhen Yan was utterly numb listening to this! He stood there staring with wide eyes at his sister, clueless and at a loss.
Thankfully, Han Mingyue’s sanity was still intact, so she immediately rejected Zhen Yu’s suggestion!
She plainly said, "We’re here to look at houses with you today! So naturally, we should focus on you first! Besides, Zhen Yan has already said that he’s planning to buy one in three years! I think I probably won’t need that much time..."
"Damn!" Zhen Yan was so taken aback to be compared with Han Mingyue that he immediately yelled out in irritation and retorted straight away, "So what if you can write books? A scholar is good for nothing! Just with your skinny frame, I could take you down eight against one!"
"Bro!" Zhen Yu was not happy to hear Zhen Yan’s blatant jab at Han Mingyue, criticizing him like a ginseng rooster, so she blurted out without thinking, "What’s wrong with being skinny? Han Mingyue is even a few centimeters taller than you! Ever heard of looking slim in clothes and having muscles underneath?"
Zhen Yan, who usually speaks without thinking, didn’t think it through and impulsively retorted, "How would you know if he has muscles or not! You’re not him!"
Zhen Yu: "!!!"
Are those the words an older brother should be saying to his sister? Is that appropriate?
Han Mingyue: "..."
She was completely stunned! Instantly her face turned crimson and she quickly lowered her head to desperately search for a crack in the ground!
----
The two of them fell silent simultaneously! Zhen Yan might be foolish, but even he realized something was off...
And so he awkwardly fell silent as well.
Fortunately! The bizarre atmosphere did not continue for much longer, as the real estate agent briskly walked back in from the outside.
"Sorry about that! There really aren’t that many villas for sale in this area, so I contacted every colleague and friend I could think of and only managed to dig up three semi-detached properties! The rest are all standalone units,"
"Wait! How much are the standalone units? If the price is right, let’s look at those first!" Zhen Yan suddenly interjected.
After all, he did have his own calculations! Buying a standalone is much less trouble than two semi-detached units!
It would not only save him the trouble of knocking through the walls but also allow him to spend all of his sister’s money!
This way, she wouldn’t always be thinking about topping up his funds! And by the time it comes to it, even if she wants to split the villa with him, she can’t split a standalone unit! Hahaha! Hehe...
Zhen Yan’s sly plans were clicking away when the agent’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor after hearing his words!
Because he really couldn’t understand why Zhen Yan, who had baulked at the 2 million price tag, was suddenly courageous enough to consider a standalone! Didn’t he know that the price of a standalone villa was at least twice that of a semi-detached one?
"Well, standalone units start at at least four or five million..."
"Four or five million works! Then let’s go take a look at the standalone units first!"
Zhen Yan didn’t even ask his sister’s opinion when he heard the price quoted by the real estate agent and directly agreed!
The young agent could only look towards Zhen Yu to see what the female party involved had to say.
Unexpectedly, Zhen Yu did not offer any opinion! She simply nodded gently at him, signaling that he should just listen to Zhen Yan.
——
"So, ah! Just wait a second! I’ve got to check my messages!" The young agent, taken aback, had to dig out the new property sale messages he had just received and began to pick and read them out loud while searching...
After filtering, researching, and calling the relevant agents to inquire about the details of the villas, they finally decided on the first standalone villa they wanted to visit!
Then the young agent immediately got the homeowner’s contact information and quickly made the call!
However, it turned out that at this awkward time, the homeowner was out for lunch!
Luckily, they still managed to arrange a viewing for around 2:30 in the afternoon!
Once the young agent hung up the phone, Zhen Yu was the first to stand up and say, "Let’s go! Little brother, you lead the way, we’ll treat you to lunch! After all, since others have had their meal, we can’t stay hungry!"
"This, how can I accept this! I..." The young agent didn’t know whether to refuse or not, feeling quite embarrassed!
Seeing this, Zhen Yan immediately put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Come on! We’ve been together the whole day! Why the fuss! If it weren’t for our house buying, you wouldn’t have to starve here! Considering your earnest attitude towards people and work, I’ve decided to make friends with you! Next time I buy a house, I won’t turn to anyone else, just you!"
"Hehe! Thanks... Alright then! You guys come with me!" After all, we are all young! Slightly moved by Zhen Yan’s words, the young agent didn’t play coy anymore and accepted the lunch offer.
——
"Phew... I’m exhausted!" As soon as they entered the front door of the villa, Zhen Yan walked straight to the living room sofa and collapsed into it! He was completely sloppy about it!
The villa’s owner didn’t live there, so it was another female agent who rushed over to show them the house.
This was the third standalone villa that Zhen Yan had seen with Zhen Yu that afternoon!
At this moment, even the sky outside had darkened...
Zhen Yan didn’t understand! How could his little sister, a girl, have more energy than him and Han Ming Yue, the two men?!
She had been shopping up to now and still said she wasn’t tired at all!
Were her legs made of iron?
Buying a house was so difficult, he felt that he never wanted to go house hunting with his sister again!
Next time, let Han Ming Yue accompany her instead! When she finally found one she liked, he would just go and pay and sign the contract!
Seeing her brother’s state, Zhen Yu, who followed him in, suddenly teased loudly towards the sofa, "Bro, this won’t do! You’re tired after just an afternoon, how are you going to accompany your girlfriend shopping in the future?"
Zhen Yan responded very bachelor-like, "Why do I have to accompany my girlfriend shopping! Let her go by herself!"
"Pfft!" Zhen Yu laughed, while inwardly lighting a candle for her future sister-in-law...
