After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 97: The Self-Absorbed Cheng Jiuhe
Granny Long sneered in her heart. Don’t think she didn’t know that Jiang Xiuying’s family had money; just the jade bracelet she wore could sell for thousands of yuan.
Why should others pay for your son’s safety if you yourself are not willing to take a loss for it?
She herself had forgotten that just previously, she was persuading Mengyu to sell the house she bought for thirty thousand yuan to Ma Dapan for just twelve thousand.
The tall, thin woman stamped her foot again and returned to her house.
Yet in her heart, she had started to despise Granny Long and all the neighbors.
Mengyu, who was hiding at the entrance to the alley, naturally heard everything these people said and was quite pleased with herself.
With a little scheming, she had managed to disrupt the united front of all her neighbors who were united against her.
She wanted to see who else would dare use moral coercion to get her to hand over the courtyard house that was within her grasp.
She lost all favorable feelings towards these neighbors.
She had initially intended to take care of the issue of Ma Dana threatening the neighbors incidentally.
But after seeing these neighbors’ selfishness, she didn’t want to get involved anymore.
However, she knew Ma Dana would definitely come looking for her, and she wasn’t afraid of him.
After leaving Yang’an Alley, she prepared to find a place to call Cheng Jiuhe to confirm the matter with the household registration, as she still needed his help.
However, she was a bit hesitant; she had just smashed his phone yesterday, and she wondered whether he would still pay attention to her if she contacted him today.
But as soon as she made the call and just said, “Hello, this is Jiang Mengyu, please connect me to Cheng Jiuhe,”
The other person immediately exclaimed, “My dear ancestor, you finally called! You had me worried to death. What happened yesterday? Wasn’t I just making a little joke? You actually smashed the phone.
It’s not a big deal that you smashed the phone, but if Gu Dongxing found out you were in City B and I didn’t take good care of you, he’d cut ties with me! Quick, tell me, where are you right now?”
Mengyu’s lips curled upward; she had been worried he wouldn’t pay attention to her, but it turned out he was even more anxious than she was.
“I bought a Siheyuan in Fengshou Lane at Yang’an Alley, and I need your help to get a household registration.””
“What did you say, you bought a Siheyuan?” Cheng Jiuhe was a bit baffled.
“Yes, when I asked for your help yesterday, I wanted you to recommend where I could buy a Siheyuan.”
“Oh no, why didn’t you say so earlier? My friend’s family has a courtyard they want to sell.”
Mengyu’s interest was piqued: “Really? Where is it located?”
“Of course it’s real. The location is right in—”
Mengyu’s heart raced; wasn’t that the location she had dreamt of, the well-preserved Siheyuan complex area from her future memories? “Great, then take me to see it. I want to buy it too,” said Mengyu, feigning innocence.
In reality, she didn’t have enough money to buy a Siheyuan. But how could she not want those houses there?
“You really want to buy it? The house is indeed very nice,” Cheng Jiuhe said with some hesitation: “But because of the good location, the price is quite high. I heard the asking price is eighty thousand yuan.”
Mengyu was shocked. Eighty thousand yuan? She could not afford that. She only had a little over thirty thousand yuan with her.
However, she had heard in her past life that the most coveted Siheyuans were in Qianhai and Houhai. Now that she had the chance to buy one there, how could she not?
If it really came to it, she could just sell two Yuan Nourishing Pills.
“I still want to take a look.”
Cheng Jiuhe thought she was just being whimsical, wanting to look around. To avoid trouble with Gu Dong, apart from plucking stars from the sky, he was willing to agree to anything else.
So he said, “Alright, wait for me. I’ll come to pick you up.”
Since someone was coming to pick her up, Mengyu simply waited at the entrance to the alley.
But when Cheng Jiuhe actually showed up in front of Mengyu, she was stunned: it was actually him!
