Lu Jingxing pretended to go to the restroom, took out his mobile phone and called a friend, asking him to inquire about the villa.
He had never heard of the villa changing owners repeatedly in recent years, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised today.
Lu Sen continued chatting with Master Chen, "Since Master Chen is being so polite today, I won't stand on ceremony. May I ask, Master Chen, what is the reason for your rush to sell the villa?"
Master Chen was stunned for a moment, his expression changed, and he stared nervously into Lu Sen's eyes.
An Wan and the Lu family were all waiting for Chen Jiuye's answer.
Time passed second by second, but he still didn't answer.
Meanwhile, Lu Jingxing, who was still waiting for news of the investigation in the restroom, had already learned about Master Chen and the villa from his friend.
It turns out that four years ago, after my father sold the villa, the first new owner moved in after half a month, but moved out after six months. In order to sell the villa as soon as possible, the price was lowered very much.
The second owner, believing the first owner's words, thought the owner was really in a hurry to go abroad for development, and happily bought the villa.
The new owner moved into the villa that night, but ended up moving out six months later.
The villa was then sold at a low price and soon welcomed its third new owner.
Just like the previous curse, the third new owner moved out after four or five months.
Master Chen was the seventh new owner. After living there for only three months, he couldn't stand the villa anymore and had to sell it at a low price. However, he couldn't find a buyer even after waiting for two months.
Lu Jingxing was very curious as to why these seven buyers had to move out of the villa after only a few months.
Why would they rather sell their villas at a low price and leave at a loss?
His friend told him that the new owner had encountered many misfortunes after moving in, and his business was not doing well, resulting in continuous losses every month.
Family members fell ill one after another, and relationships between husband and wife, parents and children gradually deteriorated.
At first, they thought it was all accidental, but after a few days of travel, the situation improved.
Gradually, they began to feel that there was something wrong with the villa, that it was an ominous sign. For the sake of their family, they had no choice but to sell it at a low price and move out of the villa as soon as possible, even at a loss.
In order to sell the house as soon as possible, the previous owners would not tell the truth, but would only say that they were developing their business in other places or countries and urgently needed money to do business, or that their children needed money to study abroad.
That's why they have no choice but to sell their villas at low prices, which will dispel the concerns of new buyers. Plus, the villas are indeed good, and the price is cheap.
Therefore, every time a villa was sold, it was successfully sold on the same day, and all the formalities were completed.
This time, however, Master Chen waited for two months but still didn't get a buyer.
The reason why people in the neighborhood now know that there are problems with the villa and think it is haunted is because they have been advising people not to buy it in the past two months, so as not to harm innocent people.
This is why Master Chen was unable to sell the villa.
Although all the previous owners left the villa safely, none of them suffered the loss of their homes due to the "haunting."
Lu Jingxing was shocked. How could his home, where he had lived for more than ten years, be haunted?
Although my maternal grandfather passed away in the villa, he died peacefully and in a proper burial place.
They would never become "ghosts" to linger in the human world and bully outsiders.
So Lu Jingxing listened to his friend and learned that none of the previous owners had seen the "ghost" that outsiders were talking about, nor did they feel that the villa environment was bad, eerie or strange, or uncomfortable to live in.
In any case, nothing unusual happened during those four years.
However, outsiders living in the villa may indeed experience discomfort, family discord, and business decline.
——
When Chen Jiuye looked at everyone present, especially An Wan's bright and sparkling eyes, his gloom vanished.
Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Lu Jingxing returned.
"Ninth Master." He greeted him and sat down next to Lu Sen, whispering a few words to each other.
Lu Sen's face turned deathly pale instantly. He never imagined that the villa with such excellent feng shui had changed hands seven times in the past four years.
Rumors circulated that the villa was haunted, causing the new owner to fall ill, suffer business losses, and experience marital discord.
He lived in this villa for over a decade and nothing bad ever happened to him.
Even in the three years after my father-in-law passed away, my family was safe and sound, and our business prospered.
Master Chen thought the father and son were discussing the price. Lu Sen felt that the price of tens of thousands of yuan was too high and his face turned ugly. He did not want to buy the villa.
Therefore, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious and said, "If you really want this villa, I can ask for a lower price, how about 30,000?"
He had spent 50,000 yuan to buy it before, so he was willing to lose a little this time.
Thirty thousand?
An Wan and the Lu family were all taken aback.
A five-story Western-style building covering 1,000 square meters is only worth 30,000?
I'm afraid you couldn't buy it even for 300,000, since the furniture and appliances inside are still there.
Even if these are secondhand, they're only worth tens of thousands of yuan.
“Ninth Master, the price is so low, you're even selling this villa at a loss, is that…” Lu Jingxing left half of his sentence unfinished, letting Ninth Master Chen fill in the blank himself.
He refused to believe that Master Chen wouldn't tell the truth.
However, it doesn't matter if the truth isn't revealed. Regardless of whether the villa is truly haunted or not, his family is determined to buy it back.
I'd buy it even if it cost 300,000.
Let alone something as small as 30,000.
Lu Sen was also shocked by Chen Jiuye's 30,000 yuan.
When my father-in-law built this villa 25 years ago, it cost around 100,000 yuan.
Money was worth more back then.
Even a few years ago, a house that was twenty years old would have sold for 300,000.
