Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Tough Fight

"You..." The short-haired woman was trembling all over with anger.

"What? Look, being relatives and all, it’s already quite generous of me to offer you five million. Don’t forget your mother’s heart condition. Now that you finally have a donor, if you miss this chance because you can’t afford it, who knows when the next opportunity will come? Or maybe you want to risk a bypass surgery?" The woman sneered, her face full of mockery.

"You’re threatening me with my mother’s life, are you even human?" the short-haired woman shouted loudly, tears unknowingly streaming down her cheeks.

"Hmph, let me tell you, whatever I set my sights on will eventually end up in my hands. If you don’t sell to me today, you’ll sell to me sooner or later, and by then, you might not even see my million." The woman raised an eyebrow, speaking with schadenfreude.

"Thirty-five million, I’ll buy this place." Xu Ke, who had been standing in the corner like an invisible person, said. His clear voice suddenly inserted itself between the two women, causing the tense atmosphere to halt for a moment.

"Playing the hero, are you? Can you even come up with thirty-five million? With your shabby look, I’m afraid you can’t even gather $3,500." The woman shifted her gaze to Xu Ke, full of disdain in her eyes.

Xu Ke looked down at his custom-made suit, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. Such a vulgar woman, he thought, to say he was poor while he’s wearing an outfit worth millions. He wondered where she got her perception from.

Xu Ke walked out of the room, standing between the two parties, and spoke again, "I’m offering thirty-five million for this place. If you agree, draft the contract and once it’s signed, I’ll transfer the money to you. Or if you’re worried, I can transfer the money first, and then you can sign the contract with me." Xu Ke turned his gaze to the short-haired woman, speaking in a calm tone.

The short-haired woman’s tear-soaked eyes lit up instantly, and she hastily wiped her tears with her hand, nodding vigorously, "I agree, I agree." The short-haired woman, raised among luxury items, although broke now, had sharp eyes. Just a casual glance at Xu Ke was enough to estimate his outfit’s worth. She couldn’t believe this man, who walks around dressed like a house, couldn’t come up with a mere thirty-five million.

The fur-wrapped woman watched as Xu Ke and the short-haired woman quickly came to an agreement, and her face darkened. She spoke in an unfriendly tone, "Are you sure you want to sell this house to him? Aren’t you afraid he’s a fraud, and you’ll end up penniless? That your mother will die in the operating room because there’s no money for surgery?"

"Pah! Stop cursing my mom. Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. This property was left to me and my mom by my dad. I can sell it to whomever I like; it’s none of your business. Even if I give it away, it’s not related to you. You want to buy my house for five million? How could you say such a price out loud? In Shangjing, you can’t buy a house for that price; why don’t you just rob a bank?" With a buyer finally in sight, the weight pressing on her heart was lifted. The short-haired woman’s momentum surged. Though her face remained the same, she looked much more spirited than before.

"Stop slandering me. Who doesn’t know you’re just bad luck incarnate. You killed your dad and now you’ve got your mom half-dead. Everything you touch carries bad luck. It’s risky for anyone to take it off your hands. If we weren’t relatives, I wouldn’t risk buying this house from you. You’re just an ungrateful wretch, biting the hand that feeds you. Pah, what a thing!" The woman spat harshly onto the ground, the yellow phlegm contrasting nastily with the cream-colored floor, utterly disgusting. Xu Ke frowned deeply in disgust.

"Don’t you dare curse my mom here. Whatever you’re truly thinking, even a fool can see. I warn you, if I hear a single curse or insult towards my mother again, I’ll cause a scene at your house. I’ve got nothing to lose now; I’m not afraid of shame. If you push me, I’ll live at your house. Didn’t you claim I bring bad luck? I’ll curse your whole family dead." The short-haired woman bared her teeth, scaring the previously noisy Pomeranian into silence.

"The impudence of it! I really misjudged you; who knew you’d turn out to be so cruel at such a young age." The woman first showed disbelief before directing her gaze to Xu Ke, "You saw that, right? She’s that vicious. You’re brave to buy something from such a despicable creature. Aren’t you afraid of one day dying mysteriously?"

"I’m not afraid." Xu Ke replied coldly, his assertive manner silencing the short-haired woman before she tried to explain.

"You two seem like a pair, huh? Did you set this up beforehand to make me back off, dampen my momentum, and extort me?" It only took a moment for the woman to regain her composure, looking at Xu Ke and the short-haired woman with a knowing gaze.

"I never thought you looked decent but ended up falling for that little venomous witch. Tsk tsk, she’s a black widow. Be careful or she’ll leave nothing of you but bones." The woman laughed at Xu Ke with glee.

"You talk too much, and you have bad breath. Can you shut up?" Xu Ke wrinkled his nose, leaning back as if she were something foul-smelling, causing the woman’s face to turn red and purple with palpable anger.

The short-haired woman and the realtor were amused by Xu Ke’s behavior.

"Sorry, it’s not part of our job to laugh," the realtor said, though his gesture of closing his mouth couldn’t hide the mirth in his eyes and his shrunken shoulders. The short-haired woman held her stomach, laughing until she squatted down, forgetful of her image.

"Shut up, the both of you. Xiaomei, bite her." The woman placed the Pomeranian she was holding on the ground, glaring maliciously at the short-haired woman. "Go bite her," she commanded her dog.

"Woof woof woof!" The little dog, upon receiving the woman’s command, immediately charged at the short-haired woman, evidently well-trained.
