Chapter 3 Full Settlement via Card

• Both Cheng Yuan and Mu Ru Zhen were confused by the words coming from the saleslady.
• What did she mean by ‘help yourself’?
• Wasn’t she supposed to do some pitching for the properties?
• Irritated by the cold attitude from the saleslady, Mu Ru Zhen scolded, “Hey, what was that attitude about? I’m going to lodge a complaint against you!”
• The saleslady shook her head casually and answered with a smirk, “Miss, this area is specially reserved for bigger houses, there are only a few of these left. The cheapest of the lot are the 150 square meters ones, it’ll cost over 3 million each, are you sure you want to browse this area?”
• Mu Ru Zhen was enraged at the tone of the lady, she turned to Cheng Yuan gave him a glare.
• “Embarrassing!”
• She subconsciously moved five feet away from Cheng Yuan.
• On the other hand, Cheng Yuan nodded, “What is the best unit of this lot?”
• The saleslady continued with a sarcastic smile, and answered out of obligation, “The 6th floor of block D-6, it is 260 square meters in size, the biggest unit of the forth phase of Yue Liang Wan, you can have a look.”
• “Wow, great number.”
• At this moment, a coquettish voice appeared, “Dear, I want to live here.”
• The voice belonged to an alluring lady in a revealing outfit, behind her was a plump middle-aged man wearing a large golden necklace and a small golden watch.
• There was another young man standing next to the middle-aged man.
• The young man was astounded at the sight of Cheng Yuan.
• So was Cheng Yuan.
• This young man was none other than Li Hui, the person who owed Cheng Yuan money.
• Li Hui was fellow student of Cheng Yuan’s during their university days, they were very close friends back then. When they finished their studies two years back, Li Hui’s soon-to-be mother in law insisted him to buy a new house for his wedding. As such, Li Hui spoke to anyone he could get his hands on to borrow money. As his best friend, Cheng Yuan never thought twice about generously lending money to Li Hui, but…
• But a few days ago when Cheng Yuan’s mother was admitted to the hospital, he gave Li Hui a call. He wanted to ask for the money back temporarily, Li Hui however, came up with all sorts of excuses to refuse Cheng Yuan. In the end, he even hung up on Cheng Yuan and stopped answering the phone.
• From that day onwards, Cheng Yuan finally figured out the dubious character of this man. If it was not for the uncleared debt, he would not have to give in to the Bai Family.
• Cheng Yuan stood right by the model of Block D-6, right in the way of the alluring, fine-looking lady.
• Upon seeing this, the lady let out an expression of dissatisfaction, “Hey salesgirl, is this a fish market? Why is anyone able to enter as they will?”
• The saleslady was terrified and responded with an awkward smile.
• On the other hand, Cheng Yuan was disheartened, he shifted his attention from Li Hui to the lady.
• “Ew, dear, what is that smell? This place is packed with random people, it smells nasty around here.”
• The lady’s voice was extremely coquettish and high-pitched, when she saw Cheng Yuan in her way, she pinched her nose and leaned against the chubby middle-aged man.
• Speaking of which, Cheng Yuan felt like the middle-aged man was old enough to be the lady’s father.
• “Hey, what are you talking about?”
• Before Cheng Yuan could process his thoughts, Mu Ru Zhen, who was standing at a distance, started rebuking the lady, “Look at you, despite dressing up in your branded, expensive outfits, showed no class at all?”
• Cheng Yuan did not see this coming.
• As far as he knew, everytime when Bai An Xiang met up with Mu Ru Zhen, Mu Ru Zhen would express her disdain for Cheng Yuan, coupled with a few mock remarks at him. He would not even be surprised if she had secretly urged Bai An Xiang to get a divorce.
• Needless to say, Cheng Yuan never expected that Mu Ru Zhen would stand up for him at this time.
• When he thought about it, it was not that difficult to comprehend, regardless of how much Mu Ru Zhen looked down on Cheng Yuan, they came in a group. Besides, the harsh comments coming from the lady did not exclude herself.
• “Class? Why would I talk about class with peasants like you?” The lady responded apathetically.
• The man also gave Mu Ru Zhen the cold shoulder, he put his hand on the lady’s tiny, slim waist, and said to the saleslady, “Are you selling houses here? If you aren’t, I will leave at once, but if you are, please chase this pair of sickening peasants away.”
• Just as the man finished his sentence, Li Hui who was standing next to him casually lifted the suitcase in his hand, “Can’t you hear my boss? We have the cash here, chase them out and we will sign the agreement and make the down payment on the spot.”
• This put the saleslady into a difficult spot.
• A 3 million transaction, once the deal was done, her commission would come to at least 100 thousand. She could strike the deal of her lifetime.
• Hence, she decided it was not worth it to cross the boss for Cheng Yuan and Mu Ru Zhen. Besides, Cheng Yuan clearly looked like he could not afford the house anyway.
• “Sir, if you aren’t going to make a purchase, please refrain from disturbing the other customers.” The saleslady told Cheng Yuan in a diplomatic tone.
• However, Cheng Yuan’s attention was riveted on Li Hui.
• During university studies, Li Hui was one of his closest friends, why did he turn into the guy he was today?
• Was Li Hui pretending to not know him?
• His internal dialogue was interrupted by the tapping sound on the surface of the glass enclosing the model. Cheng Yuan shifted his attention to the boss in front of him and squinted slightly.
• “I don’t understand, how did a bunch of nasty folks come together and call themselves civilized people?” he said apathetically, “I was here first, shouldn’t you wait in line until I have the decision on the purchase?”
• He turned to the saleslady, “Isn’t it right?”
• The saleslady gave him a troubled look and reiterated, “Sir, the house is over 3 million.”
• “Hahaha…”
• Before Cheng Yuan could say anything, both the plump man and alluring lady bursted into laughter, as if they just witnessed the biggest joke of their lifetime.
• “Hey pal, why don’t you have some self awareness, look at yourself, your outfit should total up to less than 200 right? How could you even think about buying a property!”
• “I know, right? I bet he doesn’t even have 100 cash in his pocket, not to mention buying a house.”
• Cheng Yuan was not disturbed, he shook his head and said to the lady with a smile, “You guessed right, I actually don’t have more than 100 in my pocket, but I won’t carry hundreds of thousands in cash with me like an idiot.”
• “How dare you?” the lady was offended by Cheng Yuan’s witty remarks. She gritted her teeth in frustration and uttered in her usual high-pitched voice, “Say whatever you want to say, for a person with less than 100 on him, what are you using to buy the 3 million house? If you can afford this house today, I… I…”
• “You what?” Cheng Yuan asked.
• “I’ll do whatever you say,” the lady scoffed, “what if you can’t afford it?”
• “Up to you, Miss.” Cheng Yuan replied.
• “Get out of here.” The lady said.
• “Sure,” Cheng Yuan responded with a nod.
• Following this was a jaw-dropping moment that was about to shock every single person on the scene.
• Cheng Yuan pulled out a black-colored card from his pocket and said to the saleslady, “I’ll take it, please process a full settlement with this card.”
