Chapter 87 Buying a House
Gu Yunxi did not return to school. After settling Huo Ziyu in, she went straight home.
The next day, when Gu Yunlang was wandering around downstairs, he discovered that his younger sister had actually returned.
"Oh, skipping class!"
Gu Yunxi slowly went downstairs. "Come with me to buy a house!"
"What? Buy a house?"
Gu Yunlang was amused. "Such a big villa with only a few people, do you think it's too crowded?"
"No, Third Brother, you don't understand. Let me put it simply. I suspect that someone is practicing evil cultivation in China, but I can't talk about this carelessly, especially since I'm a minor public figure now."
While improving my own cultivation, I also wanted to make a small contribution, which is why I took on two disciples.
To make it easier to manage them, I decided to buy a courtyard house, which will also serve as my future base. Then my third brother will have something to do.
So I made an appointment with the Liu family today. They told me there's a courtyard that perfectly suits my needs, and they'd like to take me to see it.
"Although what you said was a bit rambling, your third brother basically understood. I care about everything, from family matters to national affairs to world affairs. Whatever you do, your third brother will support you. Let's eat something and then we'll set off."
"good!"
When the two went out, they were surprised to find that Liu Wei had come to pick them up in his car.
Gu Yunxi felt a little embarrassed. She had originally planned to go directly to the agreed location, but she didn't expect that it would be the second son of the Liu family who would pick her up.
No matter what, he is still my elder brother, and he helped my second brother a lot.
"Yunxi, come on up quickly." The rear window rolled down, revealing Liu Ying's beautiful face!
The group got into the car and set off.
Passing by Villa No. 1, Gu Yunxi glanced outside and thought, "Hmm! Little Champagne seems to have gotten much stronger."
“Ms. Gu, as per your requirements, we have indeed found such a courtyard. It is a standard siheyuan (traditional courtyard house) in the style of an antique building. The owner’s family has all moved abroad, leaving only the elderly woman, who entrusted the house to our company. It just so happens that she is here today to talk to us.”
She doesn't plan to withdraw the money from the live stream; she'll use it for charity, given by her brothers and money transferred from He Sihan these days.
I have about 20 million yuan in my hands, but it's a bit of a strain to buy a courtyard house.
I heard from others that houses can be mortgaged; I'll ask that old man about it later.
I wonder if 20 million is enough for a down payment. It seems I'll have to do more than just live streaming in the future; I'll also have to find some offline work.
I'm so tired! As for going to school, well... I'll see!
Unexpectedly, the car headed towards the city center, where all the surrounding buildings were high-rises.
With convenient transportation and a constant flow of people on the road, Gu Yunxi still wondered to herself, "Does this place look like a traditional courtyard house?"
I hope some of them haven't been scammed.
Finally, the car turned onto a quiet street, where the houses on both sides gradually became shorter.
There are very few cars passing by, and far fewer pedestrians. This is a true tree-lined avenue, and cars get much cooler as soon as they enter.
It's finally stopped!
An old man, dressed in a Tai Chi uniform, was waiting for the group with a smile at the door!
"Xiaowei, you're here!"
Gu Yunxi was surprised to discover that the old man actually possessed merit. He was just a mortal, so how did he manage to do that?
He is around seventy years old, and judging from his appearance, he could easily live for several more decades.
"Uncle Cen, I've brought Xiao Gu with me."
Hello, Grandpa!
Gu Yunxi stepped forward to greet him, and Cen Ling glanced at her, thinking, "This girl is something else."
"It's an honor for the house to be handed over to such a fortunate person!"
It's still far from certain, so I don't know why the old man said that, but this house is a good place nonetheless.
Upon entering the compound, one is immediately drawn to the scene within. Passing through the second gate, one finally arrives at the main courtyard!
The ground is paved with bluish-gray pebbles, and a bluestone path leads directly to the north house.
Three ancient-style buildings come into view, with side rooms on the east and west sides. There is a covered walkway in front of each room, so that you can walk through the walkway to the main room when it rains!
Several blue stone fish tanks were placed on both sides of the front of the house, with lotus flowers showing their buds and koi swimming around in the water!
The most wonderful building is in the backyard, where the kitchen is also unusually large. Although the exterior is an antique building, the interior is filled with modern furniture, and water and electricity are all available.
Interestingly, they even cleared out several plots of land, and one of them even had tents set up.
Cen Ling introduced the place to the group one by one. There was a back door in the backyard, and once opened, it was only a ten-minute walk to the city center.
It's incredibly convenient!
The underground parking garage is also exceptionally large, easily accommodating more than a dozen cars.
After a quick tour, Gu Yunxi immediately fell in love with the place!
Elegant and ancient charm, a place that shelters from the wind and gathers energy – four wonderful places!
"Grandpa Cen, this courtyard is wonderful. I fell in love with it at first sight. How much would you be asking for?"
Gu Yunlang looked at the beautiful courtyard, which was located in the city center. He guessed it must be worth hundreds of millions.
"Twenty million!"
Cen Ling continued to look at her with a smile!
"How many?"
Even Liu Wei was greatly surprised. A few days ago, someone offered 90 million, but he didn't say anything, saying he was waiting for the right person.
They offered 20 million today. Such a nice courtyard! They can't even afford the renovations.
Could it be that Gu Yunxi really is his destined one?
“Yes, if it were anyone else, I wouldn’t even ask for 100 million, let alone 20 million. But Xiao Gu is different. She and I are destined to be together, and besides, she happens to have 20 million.”
Gu Yunxi was even more confused. He clearly had no cultivation level, so could it be that his cultivation level surpassed hers, which was why she couldn't see through him or guess his intentions?
"Xiao Gu, don't doubt so much. I'm just a normal person, like everyone else. I trust you with the house. But I have a small request. Come over here and I'll talk to you."
The two stayed in the backyard for a few minutes before Gu Yunxi returned.
No wonder he sold it to me for such a low price; he wanted me to find the elixir of immortality!
Hearing his sister's thoughts, Gu Yunlang looked at the old man and wondered if such a thing existed in the world.
Even if they did exist, they would definitely be snapped up by everyone; they would be priceless treasures. My sister is naive and might have been deceived by him.
"Uncle Liu, I'm very satisfied with this house, and Uncle Cen's price is so reasonable. Shall we settle this today?"
"good!"
Cen Ling had prepared all the necessary information long ago, just waiting for this destined person to arrive. He even made a phone call to his staff, and everything was settled in less than an hour.
In Gu Yunxi's words, she could just move in with her bags!
I was planning to have dinner with Uncle Cen tonight, but he just waved goodbye.
"The matter has been settled. I'm leaving now, and I'm entrusting this family to you."
Before leaving, Gu Yunxi gave him several protective charms, which he carefully accepted before getting into the car.
"Yunxi! We'll be neighbors from now on. You can come visit me when you live here."
Liu Ying pointed to the neighboring yard, "I'm not sure about the other side of my house, it seems like no one's ever been there!"
"OK!"
Gu Yunxi sent Huo Ziyu and Guo Fuyun their locations, so that they could stay in one of these rooms when they came to Jiangcheng in the future, since there were so many rooms available.
I'm usually quite busy, but having people living here brings life to the whole courtyard!
Huo Ziyu originally had nowhere to go, but after hearing what his master said, he moved in that very night!
