Chapter 62 Selling the House Where They Loved
Office of the President of Oteng Group.
There was a gentle knock on the door, and a low voice came from inside, "Come in."
Jiang Yao came in with a file bag, "Mr. Lu, this is the information we found about Miss An's ex-husband."
Hearing this, the man sitting at the desk closed his notebook and took the file bag handed to him by Jiang Yao.
When I opened it, there was only a thin piece of paper and a photo inside.
"Mr. Lu, this is all we can find." Jiang Yao looked embarrassed. "It's as if all the information has been erased. There's nothing to find."
Lu Xiyan saw the photo at a glance.
The photo shows a man and a woman. The woman is sitting by a flower bed. She has a fair and beautiful face, and her delicate features can be seen even without makeup.
She was wearing a plain white dress and her belly was slightly bulging. When taking pictures, she had a faint smile on her face, calm and gentle.
Lu Xiyan frowned and looked at the man squatting beside the woman, one hand intimately and intimately caressing the woman's pregnant belly. He tilted his head, so he couldn't see his face clearly, only that he was wearing a white coat.
Judging from the background, it looks like a hospital.
On another piece of paper was a brief message from the man.
Xu Zhijun?
His eyes shifted downwards. A psychologist at Jining Central Hospital?
"Mr. Lu, I can't find any information about Miss An from the past few years. I can only find that a few months before Miss An returned to Jinghai, she was very close to this Doctor Xu in Jining City."
Jiang Yao glanced at the man's sullen expression and continued, "They meet almost every day and even take Miss An's children out to play together. So, it's very likely that this Dr. Xu is Miss An's ex-husband."
"Can't find it?" Lu Xiyan stared at the photo in his hand, "What about this photo?"
Jiang Yao hurriedly said, "This was found at Jining Central Hospital. This is the only photo we found."
Lu Xiyan's deep eyes were fixed on the woman in the photo.
The photo was taken when she was pregnant, a few months after she left Jinghai.
So after she dumped him, she didn't go abroad immediately, but married another man and had children in Jining City?
"Lord Xu Zhi?"
Lu Xiyan chuckled lightly, and the hand holding the photo tightened slightly, and the man's eyebrows became even more stern.
It’s him!
When I called An Ning that night, the note on her phone was this name!
Outside the door, the hand that was about to push the door open suddenly stopped.
Cheng Wanwan opened her eyes wide. Xiyan was checking An Ning's ex-husband?
Does he doubt the bastard's background, or does he want to reconcile with An Ning?
Cheng Wanwan tightly grasped the bag in her hand. No, Xiyan must not know about this!
She glanced at the closed office door and her eyes turned away.
"Jining Central Hospital, Xu Zhijun?"
She chuckled and turned away.
......
On the coffee table, the photo of the man and the woman was torn in half.
When the phone rang, half of the man's photo was burned in the ashtray, leaving only a corner of his white coat.
Only half of the photo of the woman was left on the table.
Lu Xiyan looked at the incoming call with a gloomy look in his eyes.
When I picked up the phone, it was a woman's questioning voice, "Lu Xiyan, did you sell the house in Pangu Mansion?
The man asked angrily as soon as he opened his mouth, and said coldly, "Yes, so what?"
An Ning stood on the terrace outside the office, holding the phone and asked him, "Why do you want to sell it? You said before -"
"What did you say before?" The man's mocking question came from the phone. "It's my house. I can sell it if I want. What right does Miss An have to ask about it?"
An Ning bit her lip, feeling a dull pain in her heart.
Pangu Mansion was Lu Xiyan's former private residence. It was the house where she and he had a quick flash marriage and a secret marriage, and after they confirmed their love for each other, they moved in to live together.
In that house, they spent the most intimate, warm and unforgettable time.
From large items like soft furnishings and appliances to small items like dishes and bowls, and even all the small ornaments in the house, they had all been selected together.
He once said that no matter what happened in the future, he would never sell this place.
Because this place carries the memories of their love.
Now, An Ning naturally had no right to interfere with whether he would sell it or not. She gently said, "Mr. Lu, can you please not sell it?"
After she finished speaking, she continued, "I know you're not short of real estate, and you can't even live in all the houses under your name. Can you keep the house in Pangu Mansion?"
The man on the other end of the phone paused for two seconds and said, "No."
"That place is nothing more than superfluous to me." The man's voice was low and he sneered. "Besides, what does it have to do with Miss An whether I sell it or not?"
"That place has a great location, and housing prices in Jinghai are rising. Mr. Lu, if you keep it, it will definitely appreciate in value." An Ning seemed to have found a reasonable excuse to let him keep the house. "You are a businessman, you won't do business at a loss."
A man sneered on the other end of the phone, "I'm not short of money. Besides, I've lost a lot on Miss An, haven't I?"
"Then you shouldn't sell it at a low price!" When An Ning saw the house information, she was shocked not only by the fact that he was selling the house, but more by the selling price.
The large flat was originally worth over 60 million yuan, not to mention how much it has appreciated now, but he actually sold it for less than 5 million yuan!
The house that held so many memories for them was sold by him like garbage.
Her sudden temper made the man chuckle, "Why, Miss An, you can't bear to part with it? If you can't bear to part with it, you can buy it. It doesn't matter who I sell it to. I don't mind if the buyer is you."
"Oh, I forgot. Miss An may not be able to afford it." The man said in a rising tone, "But if Miss An likes it, you can consider taking out a loan."
An Ning couldn't help but clench her hands on the railing. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she asked, "Are you really going to sell it?"
"Of course." The man said firmly, his clear tone carrying a hint of suppressed anger. "That place is nothing but worthless garbage to me. Its existence only reminds me of my foolish past. Even five million is too much for me!"
An Ning's fingertips trembled, and her voice was very soft, "I understand... Sorry to bother you, Mr. Lu."
She hung up the phone, feeling extremely upset.
"Ningning, it's not your fault that your original family is unhappy. I will give you a complete home in the future, with only love and no quarrels."
"Baby, this is our home, your home."
"No matter how strong the wind and rain outside, this place will always be your safe haven, and the door of this home will always be open to you."
"Don't worry, this is my, Lu Xiyan's, house, and yours too. It has nothing to do with anyone in the Lu family."
The man's past words kept coming back to her mind. The sweeter the words, the more they were like a sharp sword, piercing her and making her bleed.
Tears suddenly fell and landed on the railing.
Crackling, like beads falling from a broken string.
Home......
She never had a home.
......
"Miss An, this is the purchase contract. Please take a look."
In the VIP room of the sales office, the sales staff were very attentive.
An Ning took a look and said that there was no problem with the contract.
The other party asked again, "Do you plan to buy the house in installments or pay in full?"
An Ning's eyes were light and she smiled faintly, "Full payment."
"Okay, Miss An." The salesperson handed over the contract. "If there are no problems, we can sign the contract."
An Ning took off the pen cap and signed her name.
Then, she took out a black card from her wallet.
She hadn't used this black card for four years, and she never expected that the first time she used it was to buy Lu Xiyan's house.
......
Lu family manor.
Lu Lixiao was playing chess in the back garden when the housekeeper came up and whispered something in his ear.
Mr. Lu paused slightly while holding the chess piece and asked, "Where is it?"
"Jinghai." The housekeeper said, "I bought a house. It's the private residence that the second young master is selling."
