Chapter 19
On the other hand, two families who had just finished viewing the existing houses and were increasingly interested were ready to pay the deposit and sign the contract.
They had looked at several new real estate projects before and asked people who knew the business. It was true that Shuihua Tianfu had the best environment and location.
The only drawback is that it is quite expensive.
Wang Lu's family is well-off and they don't need the one or two million yuan to buy a house. Jiang Zhendong's family is also well-off. Although not very wealthy, he can pay half of the down payment and borrow some money for decoration, so the burden is not too heavy.
After all, marriage is a matter between two families. Although Jiang Zhendong proposed to Wang Lu only a few days ago, they had already known all the conditions tacitly, otherwise he would not have come to see the house right after the proposal.
The two families agreed to get married in October. It will take at least three months to decorate the house. After the decoration is completed, it will take another four or five months to empty the house. Otherwise, it will be bad for the health. It is really rushed now.
The two families thought about it over and over again, and wanted to settle the matter as soon as possible.
Although they are still an engaged couple, according to the customs in City A, the house must be prepared before the wedding. Both families contribute funds and sign their names together, so no one loses out. At that time, the gifts from both sides will be given to the newlyweds, allowing them to manage their own small family together.
Thinking about the good days in the future, Wang Lu couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face. She rarely acted like a little girl and leaned her head slightly towards her boyfriend.
Jiang Zhendong, however, seemed a little distracted and his concentration was scattered.
Mother Jiang glared at her disappointing son fiercely, then smiled at her future mother-in-law and said, "Let the young couple talk for a while. Let's go over there and take a look."
But the moment she turned around, Jiang's mother suddenly frowned, no longer as kind and amiable as before.
At the same time, Jiang Zhendong's face turned pale. He looked at his girlfriend who was smiling sweetly beside him, and then looked at his ex-girlfriend who was slowly walking into the hall.
"Xue Mi, did Xue Mi deliberately find out that they were coming to see the house today and come here to cause trouble?" The mother and son thought almost at the same time.
Little did they know that Xue Mi, who had just come in, didn't even notice the mother and son at all. She was still chatting and laughing with her real estate salesperson, talking about decoration.
It was not until she walked about 10 meters in and was very close to the family that Xue Mi suddenly felt someone staring at her.
She subconsciously turned her head to take a look.
What bad luck, I met my ex-boyfriend.
Looking at the other party's composition and the place where they met, Xue Mi wondered: Could this family be planning to buy a house here as well?
That's really unlucky in the extreme.
Seeing Xue Mi coming over, the sales office manager greeted her again enthusiastically: "Ms. Xue, I just said I was going to call you. I'm so sorry, but I still need you to sign here. Oh, and there are also VIP cards and 12% discount cards, which you can take away with you."
As the manager spoke, he handed over a very beautiful gift: "This is a small token of our appreciation. Congratulations on officially becoming an owner of our community."
While chatting with Xue Mi, the manager led her into his office. The mother and son of the Jiang family were still standing there, but they fell into a trance for a moment.
What VIP, what owner?
She's just a girl from another place whose background is similar to that of an orphan, whose mother ran away and whose father doesn't care about her. How come she suddenly becomes the guest of honor of the manager here?
On the other side, Wang Lu's mother asked: "That girl also bought a house here, right? If we sign the contract, can we also get a similar gift?"
She had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance that the exquisite gift box the manager had just handed over was from a famous brand. Any single item of that brand would cost thousands of dollars.
Giving away such an expensive gift upon signing a contract, it seems that this developer is quite generous.
The salesperson smiled embarrassedly: "That's the owner of our villa area... the one you saw at the door just now."
Wang Lu's mother suddenly realized: "Is it the rich man who came here in a luxury car? The one who bought a villa worth 30 million? I didn't expect him to be so young and beautiful. Oh, reincarnation really is a technical job!"
The mother and son who were listening nearby suddenly felt as if they were in a dream, except it was a nightmare.
The mother and son looked at each other again, and this time, they were both in a daze, as if they were sleepwalking.
Wang Lu also quickly noticed that something was wrong with her boyfriend and tugged at his arm: "What's wrong?"
"No, nothing..." Jiang Zhendong gave a forced smile and mumbled the answer.
The real estate salesperson wanted to work hard to close the deal, and Wang Lu and her daughter were also very tempted, but the other mother and son suddenly changed their attitude for some reason, and they no longer had their previous eagerness.
Jiang Zhendong suddenly made an excuse to go to the bathroom and walked away. His mother immediately followed him, but the two of them did not go to the bathroom, but to the corridor outside.
The mother and son were seen talking not far away, without much effort to hide.
"What's going on with these two? I feel like they're acting weird today. Could it be that they just proposed to me and now regret it?" said Wang Lu's mother.
Wang Lu also frowned slightly: "It does look a little strange, I will ask privately what is going on."
"Looking at this family, it seems that they are not as reliable as I thought before. You should think about it again. There is no need to rush into getting married." Her mother said again.
Her family has spoiled their daughter since she was a child and they have no worries about money. They just want to find a family for their daughter that is honest and easy to control so that she can live a peaceful life in the next life. That would be enough.
The Jiang family seems to be such a family.
He is a local, an only child, and his family is fairly well-off. The boy has a decent education, good looks and a good temper. Most importantly, he is good to his daughter, and his daughter likes him too.
She originally thought this was a good marriage.
But now it seems that this is not necessarily the case.
Wang Lu has a spoiled temper and a strong desire for control. It is rare for her to meet a man who is willing to tolerate her. She was really moved at first, but once she felt that she was out of control, she felt very unhappy.
"Why don't we go back and discuss it with Dad," she said, glancing at her watch again. "It's almost 5 o'clock, and Dad should be off work. I'm going to the bathroom first, and then I'll ask Jiang Zhendong what he means."
Wang Lu gently lifted her hair, stood up and went to the bathroom on the other side.
As expected of a real estate developer, even the bathroom has a great environment, with a large mirror covering the entire wall and all of the items used being high-end bathroom brands. There is also a faint fragrance floating in the air, which smells very upscale.
Wang Lu came out of the bathroom, washed her hands, looked at herself in the mirror carefully, and put on some makeup.
The girl in the mirror was about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with delicate makeup and elegant clothes. At first glance, she was a girl who was raised in wealth in the city. There was a bit of arrogance and willfulness in her eyes.
At this moment, another person came into the bathroom. She was about the same age as Wang Lu, a little taller, with fair skin and a gentle temperament. She was the wealthy new owner mentioned by the salesperson just now.
The visitor smiled at Wang Lu. She smiled very sweetly, the kind of person who was pretty but not at all aggressive.
Wang Lu also smiled and greeted her.
This is actually a bit awkward. Which stranger would say hello to someone in the bathroom? But as rich people, it’s understandable that they have some quirks.
She originally thought that she was just a stranger she met by chance in the bathroom, but unexpectedly, the girl who was said to have just bought a villa worth 30 million suddenly introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Xue Mi, you may not have heard of this name, but unfortunately, although I don't want to admit it, I am Jiang Zhendong's ex-girlfriend."
Wang Lu was stunned for a moment.
They are encountering a protest. Jiang Zhendong's abnormal look just now was because of the girl in front of him?
What kind of idol drama is this?
She and Jiang Zhendong met through a blind date. If you say that there is no love between them at all, they would definitely not get to the point of getting married.
But to say that I like it that much, it’s not really that.
It's just that I've reached a certain age, and I have both physical and psychological needs, plus there's pressure from family and society, and it's rare to find the right person, so it's natural for me to end up like that.
Jiang Zhendong should be similar. He felt that he was in good condition and suitable in all aspects, so he chose to propose to her.
Rather than being dominated by emotional factors, it is more about taking into consideration practical issues: the family backgrounds of both parties, their work, each other's personalities and hobbies, life tastes, and so on.
I really thought it was an idol drama, with love that was so intense and life-and-death.
So Wang Lu could never have imagined that Jiang Zhendong would suddenly have a rich ex-girlfriend and appear in front of her.
Wang Lu couldn't tell whether she was the heroine or the villain, but she couldn't help but take a vigilant posture: "So, what do you want to tell me?"
Xue Mi's smile became softer: "I have no ill will towards you, but there is something I think I need to let you know."
This scumbag broke up with me more than a month ago, and now he is discussing marriage with another girl. This timeline seems wrong no matter how I think about it.
The girl in front of me looks like she comes from a well-off family, has been raised in wealth, and has a decent education. The chances of her jumping into marriage right after meeting someone is also slim.
It seems that the scumbag has been cheating on her for longer than she had expected.
Although I had long thought that the scumbag should be sent directly to the garbage station, I never expected that even the smell of the garbage station could not cover up the stench on this guy.
So Xue Mi felt that there were some things that the girl should know, but as for what choice to make, it still depended on her.
Seeing the scumbag clearly in time and getting out of the quagmire is like saving as many people as you can, which is a good deed.
If he refuses to repent, it would be a good idea to lock him up, at least he won't harm other people anymore.
And the most important point is that Xue Mi Ke doesn't want to be neighbors with this family at all.
Of course, if they knew everything and still insisted on getting married and buying a house here, Xue Mi wouldn't mind using her money to beat them up and make them run away in disgrace.
After all, hiring someone to cause a minor incident is nothing compared to the tens of millions of dollars spent on buying a house.
————
After listening to what Xue Mi said and looking at the evidence on the other party’s mobile phone, Wang Lu felt dazed.
She and Jiang Zhendong met through a blind date in August last year. A month later, Jiang Zhendong formally confessed his love and confirmed their relationship.
Looking at the historical conversations on the phone interface, before and after confessing his love to her, Jiang Zhendong was still celebrating another girl's birthday, sending her red envelopes affectionately and saying sweet words to her.
It was obvious that the bastard had been hanging out with two girls at the same time for at least half a year, and only broke up with the other one when he was ready to marry me.
This is obviously another master of time management!
Wang Lu was so angry that she was shaking all over. Two of her carefully painted nail polish were accidentally broken because she pinched too hard.
Even so, she still took a deep breath and tried to maintain her best demeanor in front of the other girl.
She tried hard to suppress her anger and tried to make her voice a little calmer: "Thank you for telling me this."
Xue Mi smiled and said, "Just don't blame me for being talkative. I just think there are some things you should know."
"Indeed, don't worry, I know what to do." The spoiled girl who had been brought up since childhood and didn't know what it meant to endure hardship and suffer loss, suddenly had a strong desire to fight in her eyes. The target of her fight was naturally not the girl in front of her, but the scumbag who dared to cheat and lie.
Today she will let that guy see what will happen if he dares to lie to her!
Wang Lu turned around and walked out of the bathroom angrily. Xue Mi put on some makeup and followed her out happily, her heart filled with the joy of the spectators.
Put out the melon seeds, peanuts and drinks, and enjoy the fun!
————
"That Xue Mi... has she been lying to you all along? Don't you know that her family is actually very rich?" Jiang's mother asked Jiang Zhendong.
Seeing what happened just now, Jiang Zhendong regretted it so much that his intestines were about to turn green. Now he had to be questioned by his own mother. He rushed impatiently: "How should I know? Maybe she suddenly won the lottery and became rich overnight."
"How much is the first prize in the lottery? How can I afford a villa?" Jiang's mother thought for a while, "Could it be that the manager is acting with Xue Mi?"
She immediately shook her head again: "Not really, not really. If I had the ability to hire a manager to help me act, I wouldn't have looked so poor and shabby before.
She tried hard to recall what she had said to Xue Mi before, and felt that it was not that extreme. If she made good efforts to make amends, maybe... there was still a chance for her son and the other party?
After all, they have been together for so many years and have a deep relationship. The girl is soft-hearted and she can be persuaded to come back.
When they went to the site to view the house just now, Jiang's mother specifically looked at the big villa. It was so grand and fashionable, facing a large lake view, and had a large garden. How could it be compared with that cramped elevator apartment?
Think about it, if his son can marry that girl, the house will naturally belong to their Jiang family. Then she will be a rich lady who can live in a garden house, and she will be envious of those little sisters who like to show off.
At this time, Wang Lu's father who was an official, her wealthy uncle, and her family's assets worth millions were simply not worth mentioning compared to the 30 million villa.
Jiang Zhendong was also confused by what his mother said.
He never liked Wang Lu's personality in the first place. She was too arrogant and domineering, and she controlled him so tightly that he couldn't even breathe.
In comparison, he likes Xue Mi, who is gentle and kind, and suitable for family life, more.
So at the beginning, even though his mother urged him again and again, he hesitated for a long time before he made up his mind to break up with Xue Mi.
If his marriage partner was Xue Mi, and he was given tens of millions of dollars in real estate as a dowry, the balance in Jiang Zhendong's heart would naturally adjust quickly and tilt to the other side again.
As for the change of heart...
"Xue Mi is kind-hearted and loves me so much. As long as I coax her, she will definitely come back."
I really don’t know how this man has such strong self-confidence.
The two of them were talking happily, and then Jiang's mother began to worry again: "Then your job change plan will fail, right?"
Jiang Zhendong comforted his mother: "How much money do you make a month after working so hard? I will never be able to buy you a big villa in my lifetime!"
Jiang's mother nodded repeatedly, thinking that her son was right!
The mother and son were imagining a happy life in the future living in a big villa, when they suddenly heard the tapping sound of high heels from behind. They came to their senses and found Wang Lu walking towards them aggressively.
She is good-looking, but she is too imposing and spoiled by her family, otherwise...
Jiang Zhendong was still weighing his current girlfriend in his mind, but unexpectedly, his girlfriend suddenly rushed over and slapped him hard, knocking him unconscious.
Mother Jiang screamed and scolded: "What are you doing?! Are you crazy?!"
Hearing the noise here, Wang Lu's mother hurried over from the booth.
"Ask your son what disgusting things he has done," Wang Lu pointed directly at the tip of Jiang Zhendong's nose and cursed, "He's two-timing, lying, and cheating. Since God won't accept this kind of rubbish, let me teach him a lesson!"
As she spoke, she simply took off her pair of high heels. The sharp stilettos turned into short blades and stabbed at the scumbag's body and face, scaring Jiang Zhendong so much that he screamed and backed away repeatedly.
After hearing her daughter's words, Wang Lu's mother, who had wanted to stop the fight, quickly grabbed Jiang's mother who was about to pounce on her daughter and beat her, cursing: "You look like a decent person, but how could you be such a bastard! You, an old man who raised a bastard, are not a good thing either. If you beat him, you should beat him hard! You old man don't know how to educate, so let my daughter help you teach your child well!"
The four of them fought in a mess, and the situation instantly became extremely chaotic, which scared the staff nearby. They just stood around and didn't dare to get too close, for fear of being accidentally injured by the two women with explosive fighting power.
Didn’t you see that the tall and strong man was beaten by the girl who was half a head shorter than him, and he ran away with his head in his hands, without even a chance to fight back.
Listening to the girl's eloquent words loudly listing the man's crimes, the others suddenly realized what was going on.
It turns out he is another two-timing scumbag.
Beat him, he really deserves a severe beating!
The manager also heard the noise and immediately ate an ear of melon. At this time, he was like a quiet goose, stretching his neck and watching the fun from the side.
Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder gently. When he turned around, he saw that it was the new owner who had just bought the villa.
The manager then remembered that although it was almost time to get off work, it was still a public place and it was inappropriate to make such a scene.
He was just about to apologize to the owner and call on a few strong employees to pull the fighting people apart and escort them out.
Unexpectedly, Xue Mi asked him directly: "Do you have any melon seeds? Or spicy strips are also fine. These are the best to eat while watching the fun."
manager:……? ? ?
————
The group of people fought for seven or eight minutes. Seeing that the lady who was beating others was gradually losing strength, a brave man finally rushed over to separate the two fighting parties.
Even when she was tired of beating people, Wang Lu kept on talking, scolding Jiang Zhendong, the scumbag, from head to toe, saying that he was worse than scum.
Not to mention Jiang Zhendong, even Jiang Zhendong's mother was so angry that her face turned dark red and it looked like her blood vessels were about to explode at any time.
After being beaten up by his girlfriend whose fighting power has soared, Jiang Zhendong now looks embarrassed and anxious. Not only is his body and face covered with bruises, but there is also a bloody hole on his arm that was poked by the sole of his high-heeled shoe, and blood is gushing out of it.
It was because the manager was afraid of something happening that he persuaded the two families to leave. The mother and daughter, who had no injuries except for their messy clothes and hair, were asked to go out of the main door.
As for the other two mother and son who looked much more miserable, the manager helped call 120 and also sent an ambulance.
As for signing the contract to buy a house? Seeing how intense the fight between the two families was, there was no need to even think about it.
Things were finally settled. The manager breathed a sigh of relief and sent away the staff who had gathered around him, asking them to quickly pack up and get ready to go off work.
Xue Mi no longer had anything exciting to watch, and the hotel car arrived. She got in the car and was about to leave when she was suddenly stopped by Wang Lu who was still lingering outside.
Wang Lu's hair was disheveled at this time. She was holding a high-heeled shoe in one hand and a bag in the other. She no longer looked like the delicate and delicate girl she looked at first glance. However, her eyes were bright and sharp, with a burst of vitality.
To be honest, Xue Mi felt that Wang Lu looked much more beautiful now than before.
After calling Xue Mi, Wang Lu seemed to realize that she was holding a pair of high heels in her hand. She smiled embarrassedly, threw the shoes with broken heels on the ground, and walked over barefoot.
"It happened so suddenly that I didn't react," she said, her voice still a little hoarse from scolding the scumbag just now, "After thinking about it, I should have thanked you properly, otherwise if I really married that bastard, I would definitely be unhappy for many years."
Xue Mi couldn't help laughing: "Actually, I should be the one thanking you for helping me vent my anger. The few times you beat me up just now looked really neat."
Wang Lu laughed out loud: "What a pity, if we had known each other earlier, maybe we could still be friends."
"Although I don't know if we will have the chance to meet again in the future," Wang Lu took a few steps closer and extended her hand to Xue Mi, "I will definitely remember this day."
"Me too." Xue Mi also reached out and shook hands.
The two palms touched each other, and in a flash, Xue Mi seemed to see countless phantoms passing by her eyes.
The first thing I saw was the wedding of Wang Lu and Jiang Zhendong, with their snow-white wedding dresses, bouquets of flowers, and on the surface they looked like a very well-matched couple.
But not long after the marriage, endless quarrels began.
The husband who originally seemed gentle and refined was no longer considerate, and the warm and loving mother-in-law also revealed her selfish and mean side. What Wang Lu could not accept the most was that her husband had an affair with a young female colleague in the company while she was still pregnant, and she was caught in the act.
Then there was another chaotic fight, but in the illusion, Wang Lu had no mother to help her, and she was pregnant. In the end, she was pushed to the ground by her husband and the mistress, and she couldn't save the child.
Wang Lu came out of the hospital with a pale face. She went straight to the scumbag's company with a knife in hand, ready to give him a physical castration. Unfortunately, as soon as she scratched the scumbag's arm, she was controlled by others and could not proceed to the next step of the operation.
The last scene of the phantom was frozen on Wang Lu’s pale face, messy hair, and eyes full of hatred.
That scene is somewhat similar to the present, but compared with Wang Lu who just lost her child in the illusion, she now looks more relaxed and more vital.
After all, I just beat up the scumbag and I have almost vented all the hatred in my heart.
At the same time, the originally colorful phantoms were fading quickly, and finally became like old black-and-white films from decades ago. Then, with a faint cracking sound, the phantoms turned into bubbles and finally disappeared completely.
Although she still couldn't figure out what happened, Xue Mi had a premonition that the things she saw in the illusion would never happen again.
The Wang Lu in front of us will lead a completely different life.
Xue Mi's smile deepened, and she tightened her grip on the other person's hand, saying from the bottom of her heart: "Congratulations to you... No, congratulations to us for turning back from our wrong path and completely getting rid of that scumbag."
The best fate for smelly things that are only fit to go into the sewer is to fill the septic tank.
