Chapter 487 The Look of Looking at a Sucker
Shortly after, the call connected, and he asked them to check if there were any more large, single-level apartments with yards on the ground floor in this neighborhood.
After about two or three minutes, Yang Han hung up the phone and turned to Qiao Xing, saying, "There are two more sets. I'll take you to see them after we finish eating."
Qiao Xing nodded. "Okay."
She had seen the yard on the first floor before; other people's yards were very well maintained, with beautiful flowers and plants. She just didn't know how well the lighting was inside.
Qin Ce worked in the kitchen for an hour, bringing out the food one dish after another.
Yang Han eagerly pushed the old man to the dining table for a meal. When he saw the dishes on the table, Yang Han was so surprised that he couldn't stop smiling.
"Wow! This is so bland. Are you in postpartum confinement, Lao Qin?"
Qin Ce paused for a moment, then gave him a cool glance.
Yang Han blinked and gave Qiao Xing a meaningful look, but said, "Oh right, Grandpa Qin is still not fully recovered, so he needs to eat something light."
He sat down with a smile. This was the second time he had eaten a meal cooked by Qin Ce, and he was even happier than when he ate a Manchu Han Imperial Feast at a grand hotel.
He tasted a shrimp cake and gave Qin Ce a thumbs up, "Your cooking skills are getting better and better, even better than last time."
"Eat yours."
Yang Han grinned and stopped talking. He tasted all the dishes on the table. Before eating, he had only planned to give him a perfunctory compliment, but after eating, he genuinely thought they were delicious.
Even Qiao Xing was a little surprised. She had never seen many of these dishes before. How did he know about them?
I feel like he knows better than I do what I can and can't eat.
Qiao Xing guessed that he must have secretly investigated, saying he didn't want the child, but was actually more nervous than her.
He really is a hypocrite.
After dinner, Yang Han was going to take them to see the house.
Qiao Xing went with Qin Ce. One of the apartments was in the building next door, just a short walk downstairs.
"No one lives here? I thought someone lived here because there were so many flowers in the yard," Qiao Xing said, looking at the yard.
“Those are grown by ourselves. If you don’t like them, you can contact the property management to exchange them.”
"Does the property management company handle this?"
Yang Han entered the lock's password and said, "Since we planted them, we can ask new users to remove these plants when they move in."
Qiao Xing nodded knowingly, the door opened, and she followed Yang Han inside.
The house was a little darker than theirs, but it didn't affect anything. Once inside, Qiao Xing felt that it was big and spacious.
This is more than twice the size of the one they live in, and it's a duplex with two floors.
"Why is no one buying such a big house?"
"It's expensive. It's a two-story building with 7 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, and 5 bathrooms. Without the yard, a single floor is 380 square meters, so the two floors together are over 700 square meters. Add a yard, and you can imagine how big it is!"
Qiao Xing stared in astonishment, her mouth agape. She glanced at Yang Han, sensing that he was looking at Qin Ce with the eyes of someone looking at a sucker.
"How much?"
Yang Han held up two fingers.
"Two million?"
Yang Han rolled her eyes at her, "Your apartment cost two million, do you think this one is even possible for two million?"
Qiao Xing realized what was happening and her eyes widened instantly. "Twenty million?!"
Yang Han blinked, looking somewhat cute, "It's a friend's price, the sales office listed it at 26 million."
Qiao Xing had never seen so much money in her life; it took her a long time to count the zeros of twenty million.
She glanced at Qin Ce, who remained calm, as if he hadn't heard Yang Han's offer and was still looking at the layout and decoration of the house.
Qiao Xing then asked Yang Han, "What about the other set? Is it cheaper?"
"That one is cheaper, it's only one floor, but the lighting isn't very good, and there's a daycare center and a basketball court next door, so it'll be a bit noisy."
"Look at Lao Qin, is he the kind of person who's short of money? I don't mind taking a look at that set, but you can if you want to."
"Let's go take a look."
Now that Yang Han is a businesswoman, she feels it's better to compare things herself.
Yang Han showed her all the rooms in the house, including the kitchen and bathroom. Overall, Qiao Xing liked it very much... but it was so expensive.
Qiao Xing wouldn't even dare to dream of such a dream.
After that, we went to another place, and it was true what Yang Han said: the lighting was indeed poor, and it was a bit dim inside. If it was a cloudy day, we would have to turn on the lights.
The orientation is also bad; the living room doesn't get any sunlight in the morning, but it gets direct sunlight in the afternoon.
Yang Han said, "See? I wasn't lying to you, was I?"
Qiao Xing nodded, wanting to turn around and ask Qin Ce, but found that Qin Ce was missing and hadn't come in.
Where are the others?
"He's taking a phone call outside."
Qiao Xing glanced outside and, sure enough, found him taking a phone call in the yard.
She looked away and stared at Yang Han.
"Sister-in-law, which one do you like?"
Qiao Xing touched his nose. "Let's ask Qin Ce."
"What's the point of asking him? He'll still have to ask you later anyway, so you might as well think it through yourself first."
Qiao Xing hesitated before asking, "Can you offer an even lower price, like a friend's discount?"
Yang Han couldn't help but laugh, "I was thinking of giving them to you directly, do you think Lao Qin would want them?"
Qin Ce definitely wouldn't accept that. Why owe someone a favor when you can solve it with money?
Sometimes it's easy to settle a debt of money, but it's hard to repay a debt of gratitude with money.
Yang Han said, "If you think it's too expensive, you can just name a price, and I'll have no problem with it."
Qiao Xing didn't dare to give out numbers casually. He told Yang Han that if the discount was too steep, it would be almost like giving it away for free.
Qiao Xing thought for a moment, "Let's wait until he finishes his call before we talk about it."
Yang Han sat down on the sofa. "Okay, then you should rest for a while. Standing is tiring."
Qiao Xing walked over and sat down diagonally opposite him. Looking at it from all angles, he realized that the other set was definitely much better than the current one.
Moreover, that apartment wasn't just a partitioned unit on one floor; it actually occupied the area of two floors. The first floor and the top floor were roughly the same size, so it didn't feel cramped at all.
Yang Han sighed, "There are only two of that apartment type in this complex. Luckily, they didn't build more, otherwise it would have been really hard to sell them."
Why?
"Because it's on the first floor, and the price isn't cheap. People with that kind of money would buy a high-rise apartment, where they can see further from a higher vantage point. On the first floor, all you see is the residential area or people. What's there to see?"
"However, on the other hand, whether it's buying a house or dating, it all comes down to fate. Some people don't have a need for a house, and even if they like it, they think it's too expensive, so they choose to give up. That's not fate. But if you happen to have a need for a house, then this house is suitable for you. That's fate."
"What suits you best is the best."
Qiao Xing nodded. He was truly worthy of the name!
Soon, Qin Ce finished his phone call and came in. He saw that the two of them were already seated, indicating that they had finished their tour.
He walked over and asked, "Have you made your choice?"
Qiao Xing asked, "Which set do you like?"
"Anything is fine with me, whatever you like."
Yang Han gave Qiao Xing a look, as if to say: See, I was right.
Qiao Xing said sheepishly, "That set is too expensive."
“It’s not expensive, buy it if you like it.” Qin Ce was a bit busy, but he made the final decision, “I have to go to the company later, you and Yang Han go to handle the formalities.”
"Ah, me?"
"Okay, if you don't understand, just ask him. I'm leaving now."
Qiao Xing opened his mouth. He just left like that?
This is buying a house, not buying groceries like it's nothing!
