Chapter 268 Bargaining
At noon, the group had lunch at Xianyue Building.
Chen Ling seldom eats out, and almost every dish in Xianyue Tower has its own characteristics. When she walked out of Xianyue Tower, she felt her stomach bulging.
"Miss Shen, if you feel tired, you can go back and rest in the afternoon. I have to meet another guest." Old Mrs. Gu was afraid that Shen Ling would be tired.
Normally, Chen Ling would take a nap after lunch, but he had gained some experience in the morning. Seeing that Old Lady Gu was busy again in the afternoon, Niu Niu beside him opened her eyes wide and did not look tired at all.
Even though Shen Ling was a little sleepy, she felt that she couldn't be outdone by a six-year-old child.
"I'm not tired! Grandma Gu, I still want to go with you." Shen Ling said.
Mrs. Gu hesitated for a moment and said, "I saw you yawn several times..."
Niuniu also said: "Sister Ling, if you are sleepy, go back and rest quickly. Don't force yourself to stay awake. This is not good for your health."
Shen Ling gave Shen Changfeng a look.
Shen Changfeng was actually also sleepy, but he didn't want to go back like this, afraid of missing out on interesting things, so he said: "Grandma Gu, don't worry, my sister is not sleepy. It's rare for her to come out to play, and I'm afraid she won't be willing to go back like this."
Actually, Old Lady Gu also likes the Shen siblings very much. Both of them come from high-class families, but they are both sensible and well-mannered children. Last night, Old Lady Gu was so worried that she couldn't sleep well the whole night. When she saw her today, she realized that her thoughts were unnecessary.
In the end, Mrs. Gu didn't have the heart to reject the two children.
When they met Li Yaren in front of another house, Li Yaren told them about the situation of this house in the afternoon.
"The person who came to buy the house was a young man, and he offered a generous price. There shouldn't have been any problem, but he was always wearing a mask, he was too tall, and he had a murderous aura about him. I always felt uneasy. You, an experienced man, can help me take a look and see if there is anything wrong." Li Yaren said.
It's no wonder that Li Yaren has such concerns. Such a hidden person is always easily associated with a wanted criminal.
But when Old Lady Gu saw the young man, she immediately started shouting.
"Xie Xiaoge, why do you want to buy a house?"
When Niuniu saw Xie Xingchuan, she immediately rushed over and said, "Brother Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time. Niuniu missed you so much!"
Xie Xingchuan hugged Niu Niu in a panic. He was also surprised to see the Gu family, but he had never been a person who liked to laugh or talk. Even when he held the delicate and soft girl in his arms, he still bit his lower lip hard to stop the corners of his mouth from rising.
"Brother Xie, you were picked up by your family as soon as you got off the boat. I wanted to ask you where you live and wanted to visit you, but you didn't even leave me an address." Niu Niu complained.
Xie Xingchuan ignored everyone else, but when it came to Niuniu, he was always afraid of scaring her, so he could only say, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you wanted my address."
Niu Niu said: "Xie brother, of course I want your address. You are Daddy's savior and a big brother that I like very much. Niu Niu also wants to go and play with you!"
Xie Xingchuan thought about everything that happened after he returned to Beijing. When he was at home, he also thought of Niu Niu and the Gu family, whose family was extremely harmonious.
But what he thought more about was that he was just a companion on the boat for a while. With so many people doting on Niu Niu, would Niu Niu really remember him? Will the Gu family care about where I go?
On the other hand, Old Lady Gu asked in confusion, "Xie Xiaoge, I vaguely remember that your home is in Beijing. Why don't you live at home now and are you moving out?"
Xie Xingchuan hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain.
Seeing him like this, Old Lady Gu sighed and said, "My second son told me that you don't like to talk. If you don't want to talk, don't talk."
Mrs. Gu's respectful and considerate attitude made Xie Xingchuan feel guilty.
He did save Gu Mingda, but during the time on the boat, the Gu family also did their best to take care of him. That kind of attentive care was not pretended, and Xie Xingchuan could naturally feel the Gu family's sincerity.
Old Lady Gu continued, "Since it's Brother Xie who wants to buy this house, I will definitely help you bargain for a good price!"
Li Yaren didn't expect that the two groups actually knew each other.
"Li Yaren, don't worry. Brother Xie is General Xie's only son. The scar on his face was there a long time ago. He is only twelve years old and is not a person of unknown origin." Old Lady Gu also asked Li Yaren to be at ease.
When Li Yaren heard the word "twelve years old", his reaction was similar to that of everyone else. He couldn't help but secretly look at the tall and strong Xie Xingchuan.
"He's a head taller than me at the age of twelve. He eats so well." Li Yaren sighed in a low voice.
But he was also an honest man. After confirming that Xie Xingchuan was fine, he still took the initiative to mention: "Don't worry, old lady. Although you two know each other, as long as this deal is done, the money you should pay will definitely not be less."
Old Lady Gu didn't want to make this money, so she pulled Li Yaren aside and whispered, "I won't take this money. Please use the money to buy something useful for Brother Xie. Don't mention me, just say that the owner doesn't want it, okay?"
Li Yaren had been looking forward to long-term cooperation with Old Lady Gu, so he naturally would not refuse when he heard this.
Xie Xingchuan didn't expect that the house price would drop by thirty taels of silver in just a short time.
Such a big fluctuation frightened the quiet little mute, and he couldn't help but ask, "Grandma Gu, why is it suddenly so much cheaper? Is it because of your help in bargaining?"
Old Lady Gu nodded, picked up the water bag at her waist and took a sip. She suddenly stopped drinking and stared at Xie Xingchuan with wide eyes:
"Xie Xiaoge, you didn't intend to bargain?"
Xie Xingchuan's body suddenly froze.
When Mrs. Gu thought about how this child didn't even like to talk, and how others could do whatever they wanted with him, she slapped her thigh and said, "Child, with such a temper, I don't know how much you will suffer!"
Niuniu also pulled Xie Xingchuan and said, "Brother Xie, seeing you suffer, grandma feels worse than you!"
Xie Xingchuan believed what Niu Niu said, because Old Lady Gu looked so ugly now, as if she had been cheated out of hundreds of taels of silver.
Old Mrs. Gu pounded her chest hard, but couldn't help complaining, "You are still too young, kid, you don't know the benefits of bargaining!"
Niu Niu nodded vigorously, looking like she agreed very much.
Xie Xingchuan looked at the serious look of the old man and the young man and couldn't help feeling uneasy. Did he really do something too excessive?
Shen Ling and Shen Changfeng, who were standing by, also looked as if they had been shot in the knee by an arrow. It seemed that they had no habit of bargaining?
Of course, with a princess mother, they never lacked money.
But when they saw how powerfully Mrs. Gu bargained, the Shen siblings felt very proud.
Old Lady Gu made a big decision on the spot, and said proudly, "Xie Xiaoge, what else do you need to buy? I'll buy it for you! I guarantee you'll get the best things at the lowest price!"
