Chapter 97 The Third Brother is Luo Chenxing
Her voice was not loud and Gu Xiyue could not hear it clearly.
Zhou Nuan was unwilling to give up, so she moved closer again, "Hey, Gu Xiyue, do you still remember what I said to you?"
"You told me a lot of things."
"Do you remember that sentence about listening to your wife will make you rich?"
"..Remember."
"Then you will listen to me, right?" Zhou Nuan asked tentatively.
Gu Xiyue frowned and looked at her with cunning eyes, "Tell me about it."
This man is quite defensive.
"I heard that there will be a land auction in Haicheng next month. Do you know about this?"
Gu Xiyue's face became serious, but his tone was steady, "Who told you that?"
This matter has not been finalized yet, how could the news leak out? Could it be...
He glanced at her, his eyes searching.
"It's just gossip." She smiled mysteriously and shook her slender fingers. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. Gu Xiyue, can we go in and take a look?"
They definitely can't afford it, as their money is simply not enough. It is said that the land was auctioned at a high price of several million. Several million, at a time when the average salary is less than one hundred, is simply unrealistic.
"I can't give you an accurate answer for something that hasn't been confirmed yet, but ordinary people can't enter that kind of occasion." Gu Xiyue said.
Zhou Nuan was a little disappointed, but it was also expected that she couldn't get in.
Gu Xiyue saw her lost expression. He pursed his lips, thinking about something.
The house Gu Xiyue found was not too far away, only a 20-minute drive away. It was a very quiet neighborhood, the building was not old, and it was very close to the Land Bureau. It was obviously a house for Chen Yan.
Zhou Nuan went in and took a general look. Everything was complete inside, and most importantly, it was in keeping with Mrs. Chen's identity, low-key yet appropriate.
The last house they looked at was opposite the Chen family's. It was larger than the house they lived in now. Although the previous owner was a bourgeois man, there were flowers and plants on the large balcony, and there was a piano next to the living room, covered with a layer of white lace cloth.
It’s very beautiful, Zhou Nuan likes it very much.
Especially when she saw the big bathtub in the bathroom, she almost couldn't walk. One of her favorite things to do in the past was to lie in the bathtub with massage function at home, soaking in milk bath and sipping wine. That feeling was nostalgic.
Perhaps it was because her gaze was too scorching that the man's eyes dimmed.
"Drinking too much can harm your health." He suddenly said.
Zhou Nuan hummed, then came back to her senses.
She hasn't said anything yet, how does this man know what she is thinking?
She was a little embarrassed, "I'm just thinking about it, I won't drink it."
This body couldn't handle alcohol, so she didn't dare try it again. If something went wrong, she would be finished. She used to be a good drinker, she would fall asleep after drinking too much, and would never make a scene or talk nonsense, but who knew what this identity would do after drinking. She couldn't let anyone know that she was not Yuan Xin.
"You can drink a little, but only at home." Gu Xiyue said.
The man's eyes were too aggressive. Zhou Nuan couldn't help but think of the day when she used alcohol to force him to fulfill his obligations as a couple. Her fair face turned red.
"I don't drink at home either." She puffed her cheeks and spoke very unsteadily.
Afraid that he would say something else, she quickly changed the subject, "How much is this house?"
"Eighty thousand."
"How much?" Zhou Nuan suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"Eighty thousand, and that's only because the owner is in a hurry to sell. The normal price would be ninety thousand."
“…”
Are the housing prices in Haicheng so outrageous at this time? You know, the average worker's salary is only about 100 yuan.
She asked unwillingly, "How much is it per square meter?"
"Six hundred and fifty, a house of more than one hundred and thirty square meters with a garden balcony is actually not expensive."
For Zhou Nuan in the present world, buying a big house in Haicheng for 80,000 yuan is a great bargain. However, for Zhou Nuan, whose total net worth is only about 30,000 yuan, it is far from enough.
"If you like it, buy it. Money is not a problem." Gu Xiyue saw her concerns and said, "I still have 100,000 yuan in my hand."
Huh? He has money he doesn't know about? Hiding some secret money?
Zhou Nuan couldn't help but glance at him.
Noticing her gaze, Gu Xiyue explained, "I always wanted to give it to you, but I didn't tell you because I was afraid that the factory would need money suddenly."
So that's how it is.
Hearing this, Zhou Nuan shook her head, "No."
This place is good, but it is not worth spending all your money to buy it. His clothing factory and her store both need cash flow, and she doesn't necessarily have to buy here. There are many houses in Haicheng that can be found at a bargain price, and there are plenty of opportunities.
Gu Xiyue wanted to say something, but was firmly rejected by Zhou Nuan.
When they went downstairs, Zhou bumped into a young girl head-on and almost got hit. He was only able to avoid it because Gu Xiyue, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, pulled her into his arms.
Her nose was filled with the familiar scent of a man. Zhou Nuan calmed herself down and looked up, only to see a bewildered face.
It’s the girl I met in the office before, with a nice name.
"Luo..Fanxing?" Zhou Nuan called out her name hesitantly.
Sure enough, the young girl's expression paused, and she looked at her with tearful eyes, and a vague sound came out of her throat.
It was Luo Fanxing.
She still looked terrified and uneasy, as if she couldn't adapt to this world. But she seemed to recognize Zhou Nuan, and her eyes calmed down.
Zhou Nuan smiled at her gently, "Do you still recognize me? We have met before at the office, and your residence permit fell on my feet... Oh, by the way, my name is Zhou Nuan, and this is my lover, Gu Xiyue."
Gu Xiyue nodded slightly but did not extend his hand. He could see that this girl was different from the others and did not seem to like interacting with others.
His action made Luo Fanxing feel relieved. She was really afraid that this man would extend his hand to shake hands with her, even though it was just out of courtesy, but she just felt very uncomfortable.
She nodded hurriedly and was about to walk past the two people inside.
At this time, Zhou Nuan suddenly spoke up, "Fanxing, where is your brother? Isn't he traveling with you?"
Zhou Nuan frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on her scarred left hand.
If she was not mistaken, the scar was a knife wound, and it seemed that she had cut it herself.
Considering what her brother said before about taking her to see a doctor, it seems that he didn't just want to see a doctor for her throat. After all, the throat can be checked anywhere, so why would she have to travel all the way to Haicheng? She must be here to see a doctor for her heart disease.
In order to avoid arousing her suspicion, Zhou Nuan smiled more harmlessly, "Don't be afraid, I just want to ask where your brother is. What's your brother's name?"
Luo Fanxing hesitated for a moment before she said in a hoarse voice, "My brother's name is Luo Chenxing."
