Chapter 23 Empire House Estate
Her reason why she sold them to a cheaper price than when she paid for it was not because she was running out of money. But because she didn\'t want to bring anything that Yang Baihua and Song Qian touched whenever she was not inside that place.
Five years... For five years, they turned her apartment into their playground. How could she possibly want any of the things inside that place? Aside from her own thing and the things she thought that Yang Baihua and Song Qian didn\'t touch, Ran Xueyi brought them with her.
She walked to a cafe and found a young man between mid-twenty to late twenty. When the man saw her, he smiled at her respectfully until she was a few feet away from him. He greeted quickly, "Miss Ran!"
"Mr. Liu." She nodded at him.
The two of them sat down.
Mr. Liu: "When I received your call last night, I thought that I was dreaming. Seeing your beautiful face, I think I am indeed inside a dream."
Ran Xueyi knew that Liu Ran was only joking around but she couldn\'t help but blush. Of course, there was no meaning behind that blush and both of them knew that.
Liu Ran is the vice president of a real estate company, Star Fall Corp. He was also the one who sold the previous apartment where she lived.
Ran Xueyi smiled at him, "Mr. Liu\'s still good at praising others."
Liu Ran laughed, "I\'m praising others because of their money. You\'re the only one I praise not only because of your money but also because of your face." He looked around before saying, "I don\'t know if you will like the drinks in this cafe so I ordered a dark chocolate drink. Your favorite kind of drink."
Ran Xueyi looked down and saw the cup of dark chocolate he was talking about. She took a sip from it and tasted the bittersweet aftertaste.
"Of course!" Liu Ran slapped his hand on his thigh and gleefully said, "We\'ve known each other during our college days. As your seatmate, how could I not know your favorite drink?" He took a pause for a second. "Anyway, you\'re looking for a new house?"
Ran Xueyi nodded.
Liu Ran: "Why? The last time you bought a place from me, you said you\'ll live in that apartment until you grow old with your fiance."
Ran Xueyi remembered what he said and laughed bitterly before she told him what happened.
After a while, Liu Ran slapped his thigh again. This time, it was harder and louder because some cafe customers who were close by looked at their table.
"That scumbag!" He was angry. "How could they do this to you?"
Ran Xueyi shrugged.
Liu Ran continued his outburst on behalf of her: "When I meet that scumbag again, I\'ll make sure to punch him square in the face. Then, when I see your sister again, I\'ll spit at her face. As for your parents..."
He glanced at her cautiously.
Ran Xueyi said, "You can curse at them."
Liu Ran was worried that Ran Xueyi still had affections for them since they\'re her family. But after hearing her answer, he didn\'t shy away from cursing at them.
Liu Ran: "Fuck their daddy! I\'ll pour a stool pot on top of their heads! I\'ll call every friend I have who works in the real estate companies to tell them to never sell anything to your family and that scumbag anything and rob them off their money! If they go against me.... Hmph! I\'ll make them inable from working anymore as a real estate agent."
Ran Xueyi was touched by his long speech. Liu Ran has been like this since they were in college. He was the one who loved to talk and the person where she learned how to curse in different ways when she only knew a few curse words.
"Did you get what I wanted?" Ran Xueyi didn\'t let him continue rambling. Liu Ran would take several days to finish cursing someone.
She was successful in taking his attention and he quickly took a few paperworks from his briefcase. He selected a few of the papers he thought were the best and put them on the table.
Liu Ran pointed at the files one by one: This one is near Central Park. This one is just a few minutes away from the mall. This one is near the Ran family\'s company."
And finally, he pointed to the last one: "And this one... is the one you told me to look for last night. There\'s a vacant house in the Empire House Estate."
Empire House Estate, it was one of the best places to live in the capital.
The houses in the Empire House Estate were only limited to 20 houses. Each house was occupied by many influential and very wealthy people. Even the prime minister of Japan bought one of the houses in that estate.
Of course, the prices of the houses there were also sky shattering and mind-boggling. The cheapest was priced around 30 million yuan while the exclusive and most expensive household in the Empire House Estate household was around 100 to 500 million yuan.
Ran Xueyi ran her fingers on the pictures shown in the household that Liu Ran told her. It was a spacious house with a few big rooms and was fully furnished.
"How much is it?" Ran Xueyi asked.
Liu Ran smiled widely and stuck out eight of his fingers. "80 million yuan."
