"Old dog Yi, I will make you pay back double what you owe me over the years!"
Qin Huairu had long wanted to get her hands on Yi Zhonghai's inheritance.
Years ago, Qin Huairu had schemed to get Yi Zhonghai to write a will, leaving the house to her.
Unfortunately, despite all her calculations, Qin Huairu never managed to obtain the will.
On one hand, Yi Zhonghai wasn't ancient yet.
At that time, Yi Zhonghai could support himself, and the elderly care crisis he faced wasn't particularly severe.
On the other hand, for a long period, Yi Zhonghai had pinned his hopes of elderly care on Sha Zhu.
And this house Yi Zhonghai owned was the best bait to control Sha Zhu.
There was a time when Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru, eager for the inheritance, had tried their best to flatter Yi Zhonghai.
During that period, Yi Zhonghai lived a life of considerable comfort.
However, as time passed and Yi Zhonghai stubbornly refused to write the will, Qin Jingru gradually lost patience with him.
Sha Zhu was obedient to Qin Jingru's every word, and since Qin Jingru was too lazy to appease Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu naturally gave up.
Later, Yi Zhonghai placed his hopes for elderly care on Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua.
This time, Yi Zhonghai invested heavily in the two girls and even made a will:
Upon his death, this property would be jointly inherited by Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua.
Therefore, Qin Huairu could now confidently let Yi Zhonghai die.
After Yi Zhonghai's death, the house would fall into the hands of the Jia family's two girls.
Since Qin Huairu was their biological mother, it meant the house would ultimately end up with the Jia family.
"That's right, I suddenly thought of a brilliant idea!"
Suddenly, Qin Huairu's eyes lit up, and a malicious plan sprung into her mind.
...
That afternoon, Qin Huairu went to the neighborhood committee. Qin Huairu wanted to sell the Jia family's house.
The real estate industry was far from developed in this era, but property transactions were still permissible.
To sell a house, one could ask the neighborhood committee to help find a buyer.
Wang Xia, the director of the neighborhood committee, actually managed to find a buyer for Qin Huairu.
This mysterious buyer was an old acquaintance of Qin Huairu: Liu Kai Xuan.
Liu Kai Xuan had previously contacted the neighborhood committee, stating that if anyone in the courtyard wanted to sell their house, he would be interested in purchasing it long-term.
Regarding the price, market fluctuations were considerable, so Liu Kai Xuan did not provide a specific figure.
If a seller decided to sell, the price could be discussed in person.
Qin Huairu was in urgent need of money, so after leaving Wang Xia, she went directly to find Liu Kai Xuan.
For any other matter, Liu Kai Xuan would have been too lazy to bother with Qin Huairu, that bloodsucker.
However, since Qin Huairu wanted to sell her house, Liu Kai Xuan was naturally willing to have a good talk with her.
Liu Kai Xuan currently had no shortage of money.
But Liu Kai Xuan deeply understood that hoarding money was the most unwise course of action.
If you held onto ten thousand yuan today, it would still be ten thousand yuan in 30 years, not a penny more.
But if you used that ten thousand yuan to buy property and invest, its value could potentially skyrocket a thousandfold in 30 years.
Therefore, Liu Kai Xuan aimed to acquire quality assets and hold onto them.
Instead of foolishly hoarding large sums of cash like a treasure.
Upon learning Qin Huairu's intentions, Liu Kai Xuan had a security guard escort her inside.
Given their antagonistic relationship, Liu Kai Xuan saw no need for any further pleasantries with Qin Huairu.
Upon meeting, he got straight to the point: "Qin Huairu, are you sincerely intending to sell the house?"
"That's right!"
Qin Huairu said resolutely, "My purpose in coming to you is to sell the house!"
"I am in urgent need of a sum of money, but if you try to lowball me, I will absolutely not compromise!"
Liu Kai Xuan pondered for a moment and replied, "Let's forget about lowballing. For your house, I'll give you three thousand yuan!"
"Three thousand?" Qin Huairu retorted indignantly. "Wang Xia told me the price was thirty-five hundred yuan!"
"Not long ago, Zhang Cheng's house sold for that price!"
"My house is not significantly different in specifications from Zhang Cheng's house!"
"Enough, enough!"
Liu Kai Xuan said sternly, "Qin Huairu, you can stop talking now!"
"I don't know how much Zhang Cheng's house sold for, and I didn't buy their house!"
"I'm buying houses to make money. Do you think I'd engage in a deal with no profit in it?"
"You..." Qin Huairu was almost infuriated to death by Liu Kai Xuan.
"Liu Kai Xuan, you black-hearted scoundrel, are you even human?"
"With your assets worth hundreds of millions, you still want to leech off us poor people!"
"You've done so many bad deeds, you'll face retribution sooner or later!"
Liu Kai Xuan retorted, "Qin Huairu, according to your logic..."
"...should I give you half of my assets for free for me to be considered a good person?"
"You..."
Qin Huairu shrieked, "If you had any shred of humanity, you wouldn't be making money off us unfortunate people!"
"I don't even have a job, and I still have to support three children!"
"Give me four thousand yuan for the house, and I'll sell it to you!"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help build a good image for you in the courtyard afterwards!"
"Don't wealthy people like you crave fame and reputation?"
It must be said, Qin Huairu was quite intelligent.
For an entrepreneur, reputation was paramount. A tarnished reputation made it difficult to succeed in business.
At present, this thousand yuan was a trivial amount for Liu Kai Xuan.
Even if he gave it to Qin Huairu, it would be neither here nor there for Liu Kai Xuan.
Of course, this property, held by Liu Kai Xuan for a few years, could still appreciate and generate profit.
However, how could Liu Kai Xuan easily believe the lies of someone like Qin Huairu?
Even if Liu Kai Xuan gave her ten thousand yuan today, Qin Huairu would not be grateful to him.
Qin Huairu was inherently a greedy and insatiable bloodsucker.
How could the appetite of a vampire be easily satisfied?
Moreover, due to the incident with Bang Geng's death, Qin Huairu had caused trouble at Liu Kai Xuan's place more than once.
Even a clay figurine would have some backbone.
Let alone a living person like Liu Kai Xuan?
Now, Liu Kai Xuan absolutely could not let Qin Huairu have her way.
On the contrary, in this matter, Liu Kai Xuan had to make Qin Huairu feel extreme pressure and frustration.
Otherwise, he would not be able to vent the irritation in his heart!
