Rebirth: The Comeback of the Girl-Chapter 786 - 785: No Good Intentions!

In the last lesson of the morning, Zhen Yu’s phone suddenly vibrated.

She quickly took it out and saw that it was a message from Han Mingyue, who was sitting with her roommates.

He had forwarded to Zhen Yu the location where Mr. Wang invited him for lunch.

But since Zhen Yu and Han Mingyue both knew they each had their own plans this afternoon! So they definitely had to eat lunch separately today.

Zhen Yu looked at Han Mingyue’s report, thought about it for a moment, and eventually replied, "Go for it! You’re the best!"

Not long after, Han Mingyue replied again!

"What about your lunch?!"

At this point, the class bell rang, and as Zhen Yu packed her books, she replied with one hand: "I’ll eat in the cafeteria, then go to the housing bureau."

It was not until Zhen Yu stood up and walked out with her roommates that Han Mingyue replied again.

"Be extra careful! Keep your phone on! I’ll pick you up as soon as I’m done here!"

Because she was walking, Zhen Yu only read the message but didn’t reply.

In the tacit understanding between the two, this meant consent.

Next, after having lunch with her roommates and asking them to bring her backpack back to the dorm, Zhen Yu left alone.

Because ten minutes earlier, the real estate agent had called her and arranged to meet her near Beijing University West Gate.

Unexpectedly! When Zhen Yu arrived at the West Gate, she did not find the car of the real estate agent she had ridden in before.

Just as Zhen Yu was about to take out her phone to call and ask, the window of a black SUV not far from her suddenly rolled down. "Over here! Over here! I didn’t drive today!"

The real estate agent stuck her head out of the window and waved her arms continuously, making it impossible for Zhen Yu to miss her.

So Zhen Yu had no choice but to wave back and jog toward the car.

——

After opening the rear door of the SUV, Zhen Yu first precautiously glanced at the driver sitting in the front.

Then she noticed that the gentleman was still dressed in a suit and leather shoes this winter, clearly looking like a social elite.

It matched well with the obviously expensive car! It seemed like there should be no big problem...

"Come on! Get in! Let me introduce you, this is the owner of the villa you’re buying! Chairman Li!"

Upon hearing this, "Chairman?!" Zhen Yu immediately felt a jolt in her heart! She hoped her villa wasn’t...

But then she thought again and felt relieved.

She was someone who bought a house through normal procedures and through an agency! Even if the other party ended up in trouble, it had nothing to do with her!

So, she forced a smile and then greeted neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Chairman Li, hello!"

Then she spontaneously sat in the back seat and casually closed the door.

Once she sat down, Chairman Li turned his head to look at her and asked, "Is the money ready?!"

He asked this! Just like the classic lines from gangster movie deals!

Zhen Yu had to resist the urge to retort, stiffly nodded her head, and added, "Ready! I’ve transferred it to such-and-such bank as you requested."

After saying this, Zhen Yu suddenly felt like she didn’t look like someone buying a house!

Instead, she felt more like a lackey running errands behind a mafia boss in a gangster movie...

So her whole feeling suddenly turned negative!

So, on the way, other than responding with "uh-huh" and "okay" to the questions from the real estate agent auntie and Chairman Li, Zhen Yu didn’t say any serious words.

——

Since Zhen Yu was making a lump-sum transfer, the transaction and property transfer process in the afternoon went smoothly for both parties.

But! However!

Why didn’t anyone warn Zhen Yu in advance! The taxes for buying a villa were astonishingly high, reaching hundreds of thousands!

Because she was totally unprepared, when it came time to pay the taxes, Zhen Yu felt so distressed she almost vomited blood on the spot!

Fortunately, the floor area listed on the property title gave her a slight consolation. It wasn’t 480 square meters as the agent had said, but 482 square meters...

Though it was just two extra square meters, it was worth tens of thousands! Almost depleting the funds Zhen Yu had saved for opening a Hanfu store, she could only console herself this way.

After the transaction was completed, the group of three walked out of the property transaction hall one after another.

Then Chairman Li naturally turned around and said, "Let’s go! I’ll give you a ride back."

The real estate agent auntie almost blurted out a refusal without thinking!

But unexpectedly, Zhen Yu was even quicker!

And her refusal was more direct and thorough than the agent had anticipated!

"No need! Thank you! Don’t trouble yourself!"

Chairman Li smiled, "It’s no trouble! It’s on my way."

However, this second time, Zhen Yu did not outpace the agent.

The agent, with a smiling face, said, "Oh! It’s really not on the way! We still need to make a trip to her brother’s place! You’re a busy man, so we won’t take up more of your precious time!"

Although it was a tactful refusal, if Chairman Li couldn’t sense the real intention behind it, he wouldn’t deserve his title. Moreover, the agent’s words were ambiguous, prompting him to politely nod to the two ladies, "I apologize, then! I’ll take my leave first."

——

Zhen Yu nodded and politely said goodbye, "Chairman Li, take care!"

"Take care, Chairman Li!" The agent’s tone was quite exaggerated, and she even waved vigorously at his retreating figure, seemingly very close to him...

Unexpectedly! After she saw Chairman Li’s car driving away not far away, her expression instantly changed!

She actually spat in front of Zhen Yu and blurted out, "He’s up to no good!!"

Standing next to her, Zhen Yu instantly felt very awkward!

She couldn’t decide whether to stay or leave, completely flustered!

Then she heard the real estate agent earnestly advise her, "Young lady! Always be more careful in such situations in the future! Remember, if someone is overly courteous, he or she might have ulterior motives!"

Zhen Yu: "Uh-huh! I understand!"

"Ah! Actually, I am partially to blame for today’s incident! If it weren’t for my careless extra words..."

The agent’s words trailed off suddenly, and she didn’t continue.

But Zhen Yu wasn’t a fool, so she quickly sensed the implication in the agent’s words!

Unable to resist, Zhen Yu asked another question,

"When you called me before, you clearly said you would pick me up..."

The agent looked at Zhen Yu as if hesitating to speak but eventually explained nothing.

She just gave Zhen Yu a knowing look, letting her figure it out herself.
