“Mhm! Miss Su, your house is really very beautiful! Do you mind if I take a look upstairs?” Pei Ge also nodded firmly and smiled at the woman.
“He he. Of course, you can,” Su Shan quickly assented.
Her smile grew wider upon receiving permission, and she proceeded to express her gratitude, “Miss Su, thank you!”
“He he. If you guys really like it this much, just buy this house over.” Chuckling softly, Su Shan offered seriously when she saw the two’s interest.
“I’m selling this house, anyway, so I’m not particular on who I sell it with. I think that this house is fated with you two, and you also seem to like it a lot, so I don’t mind selling it to you at a lower price.”
Su Shan actually liked the house a lot, too, especially since every stalk of flower in the garden villa was planted by her.
Hence, when she saw that the mother-daughter pair liked the house this much, she was more than willing to sell it to them at a cheaper price. At least, this way, her flowers would surely be taken care of.
Hearing this, Pei Ge and Zhang Manhua fell silent.
“Why? You don’t like it?” Su Shan asked, confused.
“Sigh. Miss Su, we really like your house, but our finances are a little tight, so we are not able to afford this.” Zhang Manhua sighed softly again, feeling sad.
Hearing this, she could only nod her head in helplessness and lamentation. “That’s really such a pity.”
It is a pity…
Pei Ge was filled with so much regret inside. Before they came to visit this house, she did not harbor any thoughts or desire regarding it.
However, after coming here today and taking in all these again, she realized how much she missed this place and how much she wanted to be back here.
With a heavy heart, she followed Su Shan and Zhang Manhua to the second floor.
Compared to the first floor, the second floor did not change much. Her bedroom, especially, was almost exactly the same as before.
Hence, she was almost struck breathless when she opened the door to her old bedroom.
“My husband and I don’t have any children, but we decided not to renovate this room,” Su Shan smilingly explained.
“Why did you not renovate it?” Pei Ge regained her senses and choked out this question.
“My husband said that the person who had furnished this room probably loved his child a lot,” she explained with a warm smile.
Pei Ge could not stop her tears from falling at this point.
“That’s right. The person who had furnished this room loved his child a lot,” her mother also choked out.
She knew how much effort and energy her husband had spent on this bedroom.
Ever since their daughter’s birth, her husband had prepared all the best things he could for her.
Among all the furnishings in the house, their daughter’s bedroom was the one he had spent the most money on.
Even she had sometimes felt jealous at how well her husband had treated their daughter.
“When we were buying this house, we learned that the original owner of it owed the other party a huge debt, so he had no choice but to sell this.” Su Shan did not notice Pei Ge crying as her focus was on chatting with Zhang Manhua.
“…” Zhang Manhua’s heart skipped a beat when she heard Su Shan mention their family’s situation.
Su Shan’s next words stunned her.
“Too bad, though. Even when that family had no choice but to sell their property, my husband and I did not manage to land ourselves a good deal. We still spent almost two million on this house!” she commented with exasperation.
Hong! Zhang Manhua was dumbfounded when she heard her mention ‘two million’. Something seemed to explode in her mind, which made her feel lightheaded.
“Two million?” Pei Ge frowned and turned to look at her in confusion.
“That’s right. This price was not low back then.” Su Shan nodded. “My husband and I were about to get married at that time, and since I’ve taken a liking to this villa, we decided to buy it in the end.”
“…” Pei Ge pursed her lips tightly, her hands balling up into fists.
This house was bought for two million?! I… I still remember Second Uncle telling Mom that the other party was unwilling to fork out more than one million because of the rush, though.
Back then… They were being pressured by those loan sharks; her mother who was desperate to settle her father’s debts helplessly agreed to it.
Right now, however, the person who had bought their house back then… was saying that she had spent two million on it.
This woman did not know them and had no reason to lie.
Thus… the person who had lied to them could only be her second uncle.
“Mom…” She pursed her lips and looked at her mother.
Seeing her mother’s blank expression, she suddenly wanted to scream and vent out all the anger in her heart.
She used to think that her second uncle was benevolent, but now, she was only regretting their family’s foolishness.
If her second uncle were to appear before her now, she would definitely ask him why. Why did you do this? How black can your heart be?! My father is your blood-related elder brother!
Also, Dad just died back then! Our family needed financial support! How could he go against his conscience and still cheat us out of our money?!
The two did not even know how they left the garden villa and returned home in a taxi.
They only knew that they were almost home when they regained their senses.
“Mom, Second Uncle is too much! How could he do that?!” she indignantly asked, her eyes turning red.
With a light sigh, Zhang Manhua choked out, “Your second uncle… probably had some difficulty too back then.”
“What kind of difficulty was it that he couldn’t even tell us? If he had told us about it back then, would we not have lent him that one million? He was clearly out to cheat us off our money! I really did not expect this… I really did not expect this…”
