Chapter 223: Chapter 223: Moving House 3

Xiao Bai watched frustratingly. Can you take this seriously, please?

He abruptly pulled on Yao Xian’s clothes, his smile stiff, "Mr. Yao, aren’t you being a bit hasty? We should discuss the price first. Regardless of how much we like it, it’s useless if the price is too high."

Yao Xian replied, "Don’t worry, surely it’ll be something you can afford. Let’s finalize the deal quickly so everyone can be relieved; you can move into your new house right away, and I, too, can report it done."

Report it done?

Wan Chu’er had a question mark over her head, pulled Xiao Bai aside and whispered, "Does this house have some issues?"

"No issues, definitely no issues!"

However, Yao Xian’s voice arose directly behind Wan Chu’er and Xiao Bai, startling both.

Wan Chu’er glanced at the beaming Yao Xian, thinking where did such a fool come from, even more foolish than Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai thought to himself, where did Li Shan find such an idiot.

To prevent Wan Chu’er from becoming suspicious, he joked, "Is Mr. Yao in a rush to get his commission?"

Yao Xian laughed heartily, "Glad you understand. To tell you both honestly, this house is in high demand. The seller didn’t just list the price with me but with other agencies as well. Whoever sells it first gets the commission. Just before you arrived, ten minutes ago, there were two others viewing the house. So if you like it, don’t hesitate, or you’ll miss the chance. Honestly, if I hadn’t just bought a house myself, I would have grabbed this villa for sure."

So he wants to sell it before somebody else does, understood, Wan Chu’er exclaimed.

Seeing Wan Chu’er so naively believing, Xiao Bai turned around and gave a heavy stare.

This silly girl, to believe such unreliable words from Yao Xian, she really wouldn’t know if she was being sold, and yet she’d happily help count the money.

I need to educate this girl properly in the future.

Actually, he didn’t realize that it was because of Wan Chu’er’s trust in him that she didn’t overthink it.

Had it been somebody else or if she was alone, she would surely be more cautious, very cautious indeed.

Xiao Bai regained his composure and hinted to Wan Chu’er, "Why don’t you go outside and check out the villa’s garden? I’ll discuss the price with him."

Wan Chu’er thought Xiao Bai was concerned about her slowing things down, so she obediently went outside.

After a while, Xiao Bai called Wan Chu’er in.

"Alright, sign the contract and stamp it. Once you sign, the house is yours," Xiao Bai told Wan Chu’er.

Wan Chu’er blinked and said to Yao Xian, "Mr. Yao, could you please wait outside for a moment? We need to talk privately."

Knowing that Yao Xian did not understand privacy, she directly asked to prevent his voice from coming up behind them again.

Yao Xian’s eyes widened as he watched Wan Chu’er, "Indeed, a straightforward girl."

Xiao Bai snorted coldly twice.

When Yao Xian had left, Wan Chu’er quietly asked, "Second Brother, how much is this house? Isn’t it normal to pay first before signing the contract? How can just signing the contract secure the house?

Could this Yao Xian be a fraudster?"

There have been reports of such scams in the newspapers, and Wan Chu’er couldn’t help but feel there was something wrong.

Xiao Bai mentally applauded Wan Chu’er, and seriously said, "Yao Xian is fine; I’ve checked him out before. We can pay eighty percent of the money we have on hand. Quickly put your house on the market too, and let Yao Xian handle the sale. We can make up a bit, and for the rest, I’ve spoken to Mr. Cao from Dingsheng Technology, his company can pre-pay some amount, just enough to cover the purchase of this villa."

Wan Chu’er, listening to Xiao Bai speak earnestly, thought over it and couldn’t pinpoint anything suspicious, so she said, "Second Brother, put the house under your name, registered to you."

Actually, most of the money came from Xiao Bai, without him she’d just be stuck in a small one-bedroom apartment.

Xiao Bai has treated her very well, and she can’t take it all for granted.

Upon hearing Wan Chu’er’s words, Xiao Bai felt a wave of relief and his voice became softer.

"Just sign where you’re told to sign, little girl, don’t think too much. Rest assured, the first house is for you; the second one will definitely be mine. You’re the younger sister, naturally, you come first. Otherwise, what would people think of your Second Brother?

"What difference does it make whether it’s your name or mine? Are you really going to make your Second Brother not welcome here?"

Wan Chu’er immediately said, "Such a big house, if Second Brother doesn’t stay with me, it’d be too lonely and boring for me alone."

No wonder people say daughters are like little quilted vests, Xiao Bai thought his sister could also be a little quilted vest for her brother.

"See, that’s settled then. Let’s drop it, we wouldn’t want Yao Xian to laugh at us."

Hearing Xiao Bai say this, Wan Chu’er had to agree.

Xiao Bai then called Yao Xian in, and Wan Chu’er followed Yao Xian’s instructions, signing her name and pressing her fingerprints as directed.

She hadn’t even had time to clearly read many of the documents.

Yao Xian said, "Ah, these are just standard property sales documents, nothing that would rip you off, you don’t need to look so closely. Relax, we use these documents every day for selling houses."

Xiao Bai also said, "It’s okay, go ahead and sign."

Wan Chu’er thus stopped pondering about the contents of the documents, simply signing and pressing her fingerprint wherever Yao Xian indicated.

After finishing signing and pressing her fingerprints, Xiao Bai handed the bank card Li Shan had given him earlier to Yao Xian.

"The rest of the money, once my sister’s one-bedroom has been sold, will be given to you."

Yao Xian said with a grin, "Sure thing, leave that apartment to me; I’ll definitely get you the highest price in the shortest time."

Wan Chu’er said, "Then it’s all in Mr. Yao’s hands."

"No trouble at all, no trouble," he replied.

Yao Xian directly pulled out a set of keys from his pocket, "Miss Wan, from now on, this house belongs to you. Can you move in tomorrow? That way, I can free up the apartment you are currently living in."

Wan Chu’er thought he was eager to get his hands on the one-bedroom apartment, and although it seemed a bit rushed, she nodded her head anyway.

Yao Xian then mentioned some minor matters and left with a smile spread across his face.

As soon as he stepped out the door, he gestured a sign of victory.

Yay! Task accomplished perfectly for the boss.

He then turned and went towards the neighboring villa on the left.

Inside, Wan Chu’er looked at the keys in her hand, somewhat in disbelief, having acquired a villa so quickly!

"Second Brother, can I pinch you?"

Xiao Bai instinctively stepped back several paces, warily staring at Wan Chu’er, "Pinch yourself instead."

Wan Chu’er burst into a grin.

"Is this villa really mine? It feels like a dream." She couldn’t help but run around the house, peering into one room and opening another door.

In fact, she hadn’t yet thoroughly checked out every nook and cranny of the villa.

Xiao Bai rolled his eyes, thinking there would be time for dreaming later.

The old man makes his moves swiftly indeed.
