Chapter 103: Accepting the Residence
Cheng Jiuhe thought to himself, selling the residence to Mengyu essentially meant selling it to Boss Gu. Given his relationship with Gu Dongxing, he would be able to frequently return to this residence and could even retain a wing room for himself.
Therefore, he straightforwardly brought Mengyu to his residence.
Cheng Jiuhe had also been worrying that after selling the house, they wouldnât let the money go. It was very likely they would take the money under the pretext of needing it for Cheng Jiunianâs marriage and house purchase.
But now with the Yuan Nourishing Pill, it would be much easier to talk about it.
All martial artists know that breaking through from the Sixth Layer of Martial Artist to the Seventh Layer is a hurdle â most people are stuck there, unable to break through for their entire life.
And he is currently at this Seventh Layer hurdle. To break through, selling the house to buy Pills is justifiable. Who could say he is wrong?
The house was given to him by his maternal grandfather! Even if they were dissatisfied, they would have to tolerate it.
Upon hearing Cheng Jiuheâs words, Mengyuâs heart stirred: Could it be that her death in the past life was related to this residence?
Such an exquisite residence, in such a prime location, could sell for over a billion yuan in later years.
But she immediately dismissed this thought.
Cheng Jiuhe died in â94 when real estate was already on the market, the price being around 1,500 yuan per square meter, and even if the price of the Siheyuan surged, it would be just over two thousand yuan per square meter, and this residence had just over a thousand square meters, amounting to just over two million yuan.
Those people wouldnât take a life for just these two million yuan, would they?
She then immediately slapped her forehead, remembering that in the nineties peopleâs wages were around two to three hundred yuan.
Having over two million yuan in the mid-nineties was a substantial amount of money.
Furthermore, they must have thought that other treasures were hidden inside the residence. With Cheng Jiuheâs death, the house would naturally fall into the hands of the Cheng Family.
So, were the ones who caused Cheng Jiuheâs death people from the Cheng Family? His stepmother, or her son?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was a possibility!
In that case, taking Cheng Jiuheâs house could actually be a good thing for him!
Mengyu looked up and said to Cheng Jiuhe: âAlright, Iâll accept the residence Brother has given me. However, I canât just take it for nothing. I have thirty thousand yuan on hand, Iâll give that to you. Otherwise, itâd be hard for Brother to explain when he goes back.â
She thought further and added: âItâs better to sell the remaining two Yuan Nourishing Pills. The money we get from the Pill should be split into a fifty-fifty share.â
With the house given to her, what would Brother have to account for when he goes back? Itâs better to return with some money than none at all.
Cheng Jiuhe slapped the thirty thousand yuan he had just been given back into her hands: âIf little sister wants money, Brother will give it to you.â
Mengyu: ââ¦â
Although she really needed money, wasnât she completely considering it for her brotherâs sake?
Of course, Cheng Jiuhe knew she was thinking of him, and he considered this sister to be worthy of recognition.
However, he still said: âYuan Nourishing Pills are usually only available to the Mountain Sect People, and if someone finds out that you have Yuan Nourishing Pills, it will be disadvantageous for you, so itâs better not to sell them.â
Mengyu was taken aback. She was indeed vulnerable right now and should indeed avoid selling the Yuan Nourishing Pills.
âItâs not necessary to sell them, just give all the Yuan Nourishing Pills to Brother. But donât tell Gu Da that I only gave him two. As for this moneyââ She handed the money back to Cheng Jiuhe: âIt wouldnât be right if you sold the house and didnât get any money for it.â
When Cheng Jiuhe heard that Gu Dongxing had only received two, he immediately felt smug again â as a brother, he had gotten two more Pills than Gu Dongxing, the boyfriend, without realizing that he had given Mengyu an entire residence.
Not being able to sell the Yuan Nourishing Pills, Mengyu started to worry because she needed the money.
Perhaps she should sell the Lingzhi she had gathered on the cliff for some cash?
