Lu Ziqun smiled sheepishly, "I just feel sorry for them. Their son is a disappointment, and they sold the house so cheaply. I feel a little bad if they try to bargain."

Ye Qingqing was speechless; she hadn't realized this girl had such a saintly nature before.

"A deal is a deal. Since they've set a price, we can haggle. What's there to pity? There are plenty of pitiful people in this world. There are so many children in Africa who don't have enough to eat. This family can at least afford a villa. What's there to pity about!"

Lu Ziqun nodded repeatedly, "You're right, I made a fool of myself just now."

"I think your IQ has been getting lower and lower since you started working. No, it's that your IQ has dropped drastically since you married Yu Shaoning. Could it be that Yu Shaoning has brainwashed you?" Ye Qingqing found it really strange.

While Lu Ziqun wasn't exceptionally intelligent in the past, she certainly wasn't very smart. She did have unique insights into problems, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get into graduate school, let alone secure a position at the university.

But now, Lu Ziqun is not only insecure, but also reacts slower than usual, as if she has lost all her charm.

Lu Ziqun couldn't help but smile bitterly and said self-deprecatingly, "I've just suffered too many setbacks. I used to think that although I wasn't good-looking, I could at least be considered a talented woman. But those men didn't care about my talent at all. They only wanted to find someone who was pretty, owned a house in the local area, or had a rich family. I don't have any of those three qualities."

"That's because you haven't met a good man yet. You're really stupid to deny yourself because of what some scumbags said. Those people look down on you, so you should live better than them. They looked down on you before, but once you're doing well, they'll be unable to reach you. You have to have that kind of ambition. Stop dressing like an old lady all the time. Okay, go buy a house first, and I'll teach you how to do makeup and dress up later. People who say you're ugly are blind."

Ye Qingqing scolded him, and Lü Ziqun didn't dare to utter a sound, but his thoughts changed, and he felt a hidden excitement.

If she becomes a winner in life, and those men who used to look down on her start chasing after her again, she will definitely return the favor they said to her verbatim. Just thinking about it excites her.

The villa is conveniently located, just a seven or eight-minute walk from the subway station. The landscaping and layout of the community are also very nice, and the occupancy rate is high, with many people walking around, including children.

Sister Chang took them to see the house, which had a small garden, but it was overgrown with weeds.

"The renovation was completed only a year ago, and the auspicious date had already been chosen—the 18th day of the first lunar month, which was supposed to be a very lucky day. But the groom had an accident, and the bride broke off the engagement," said Sister Chang as she opened the door.

The house was decorated in an elegant style, not in a tacky way. It was clear that the owner had good taste, and Lü Ziqun liked it at first sight.

"The homeowner teaches calligraphy and runs several training classes. He made some money and bought this villa for his precious son. The renovation is all done with high-quality materials, and the smell dissipated after a year. You can move in right away. Six million is really a good deal. I only recommended it to you because you're a regular customer, Mrs. Lu. To be honest, I originally wanted to buy this house myself." Sister Chang said, half-truthfully.

Ye Qingqing smiled and looked at the decoration of each room, which was indeed quite nice. She then looked at Lü Ziqun.

Lu Ziqun nodded slightly, indicating his satisfaction.

Ye Qingqing asked directly, "Let's get a fair price. My friend really wants to buy it, but he doesn't have that much cash on hand. Can you make it a little cheaper?"
