"Pfft," she couldn't help but laugh out loud. She shrugged and said, "I really don't know. You can ask Brother Le when he gets back."
Aunt Tian and Aunt Fang started eating together, and soon a housewarming feast was laid out on the table. Jiang Chengle returned just in time.
Li Guizhi raised her glass with a smile, "Moving into a new house requires more people to have a meal together to make the house feel more lively. Let's eat!"
Xiao Jincheng glanced at Jiang Chengle, who was looking excited, and asked, "Chengle, how did your inquiry go? Are there any villas left for sale in this neighborhood?"
Jiang Chengle chuckled foolishly, "Uncle Xiao, there are no new houses available, but there are secondhand ones. However, although they are secondhand, the owner has never lived there. They are exactly the same as new. If you are interested, I will take you and Auntie to take a look after dinner."
Li Guizhi said with a smile, "If you two like it, we can continue to be neighbors!"
“That’s exactly what I think!” Xu Feng nodded and said, “Sister-in-law, you see, we’ve been neighbors ever since we lived in ‘Champs-Élysées’ in Xi’an. I feel so uneasy being separated from you all of a sudden!”
Xiao Jincheng put some food on his wife's plate. "Buy it! Let's buy a villa in this neighborhood. If you don't like this one today, we'll keep looking and buy from others!"
Jiang Xiaoli nudged Zong Jiayu's arm and said, "Ayu, you should learn more from Uncle Xiao!"
Zong Jia nodded firmly, "Absolutely, I've always looked up to Uncle Xiao as my role model."
Xiao Jincheng felt extremely pleased by his flattery. "Haha, Ayu, you're right to think that way! It wasn't for nothing that I've always thought highly of you!"
Zong Jia also activated automatic amnesia mode, completely forgetting Xiao Jincheng's warning to him when their relationship was exposed.
"Uncle Xiao, seeing how good your relationship is with Auntie, I knew I could learn the right thing from you!"
Jiang Xiaoli was so trying not to laugh that tears were about to stream down her face. She whispered, "Ayu, why are you being so obsequious now?"
Zong Jia smiled gently, "I'll set an example for Brother Le."
Jiang Chengle was caught in the crossfire and looked completely bewildered.
After dinner, they went to see the house together, strolling around to digest their food and familiarize themselves with the surroundings.
The villa, which is listed for sale by the property management company, is located in a different direction from Jiang Xiaoli's home within the community.
As Xu Feng walked, she remarked with a sigh, "This villa community is so big, it's not easy for neighbors to visit each other."
It took them about 15 minutes to reach their destination, where the property management staff were already waiting at the door.
Upon seeing them, the property manager came up to greet them very warmly.
"Welcome Mrs. Jiang and her family to 'Guantang Residence'. Please contact the property management immediately if you encounter any problems, and we will definitely help you resolve them perfectly."
Li Guizhi smiled and nodded to indicate that she understood.
The property manager then warmly greeted Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Jincheng, saying, "You two have excellent taste! Our 'Guantang Residence'..."
Accompanied by the property manager's rambling introduction, they toured the villa.
"Guantangju" has a total of 29 villas, with similar layouts. This villa is just a little closer to the street than the ones owned by Jiang Xiaoli.
Xiao Jincheng looked at his wife, "Feng'er, what do you think?"
Xu Fengdong looked around and said, "The villa is alright, but the decoration and furniture are really not good. If we buy it, we'll have to redo it."
Xiao Jincheng nodded, "I don't like it either."
Fearing this big deal might fall through, the property manager quickly explained, "Mr. Xiao, the occupancy rate at 'Guantang Residence' is very high, and this is currently the only villa available for sale."
He gritted his teeth and said, "The owner is in a hurry to sell. If you two are interested, we can discuss the price."
Xiao Jincheng was somewhat incredulous, "Aren't there any other houses?"
The property manager took the registration form directly from his assistant and covered up the owner's name.
"You see, besides this building, the other uninhabited buildings are the two Jiang family buildings and the one our boss kept for himself."
"Tsk." Xiao Jincheng was at a loss now. He looked at his wife and said, "Then let's decide on this one? Buy it and we can renovate?"
Xu Feng nodded. "If there's no other choice, then let's leave it at that."
The property manager immediately beamed, "Mr. Xiao, don't worry, I'll definitely help you negotiate a good price with the homeowner!"
