Chapter 153 Old House
Xu Youyou looked up at the locked door in front of her.
This is an old Western-style house. Looking in from the outside, you can see the lush greenery in the yard.
Just at this moment, the yard door was opened from the inside and a young man in his early twenties walked out.
The young man had dyed his hair white and wore a diamond earring on his left ear. He looked nonchalant, but his eyes lit up the first time he saw Xu Youyou.
"Beauty, do you want to go in and take some pictures? My house is full of internet celebrities taking pictures every day. I'll take you in." The young man said with a smile.
Xu Youyou nodded gently: "I did come to see the house."
The young man then noticed that there was a group of people following her. His eyes fell on the four bodyguards. He was so scared that his expression became serious.
"The beauty is so arrogant when she goes out. My name is Qian Run. What's your name, beautiful lady?" asked the white-haired young man.
"No need to tell me your surname is Xu." Xu Youyou said.
"Ms. Xu, you made the right decision to buy my house. There are only one hundred old villas in Shanghai with clear property rights. They are all treasures, and no one is willing to sell them easily. I am the only one who is selling the house." Qian Run started to brag.
Xu Youyou hadn't expected the house to actually be sold, and wasn't impressed by Qian Run's rhetoric of raising the price. She said, "If the old house is really that good, why would you be willing to sell it?"
Qian Run laughed dryly and said, "Isn't my situation special? My family is planning to emigrate, and there's no one to take care of the house, so I'm in a hurry to sell it."
"Which country are you immigrating to?" Xu Youyou asked casually.
"Of course it's the beautiful country." Qian Run said.
"Has the immigration visa been approved?" Xu Youyou was curious.
Qian Run's eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice and said, "My ancestral home is in Minzhou. People from our place enjoy visa-free access worldwide."
Xu Youyou thought he was quite humorous. If he wanted to smuggle, then he could just smuggle. What was the point of talking about global visa-free travel?
But Qian Run's words didn't stand up to scrutiny. Xu Youyou said, "You have a Shanghai hukou, so how could your visa not be approved?"
It is very easy to obtain a visa with a Shanghai household registration in China. More importantly, Qian Run also has a house worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
Qian Run laughed dryly and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm single, unmarried, and unemployed, which makes me the type of person the embassy is most reluctant to approve a visa for."
Xu Youyou felt that he was not telling the truth, but the system's target for finding bargains was this house. Even if Qian Run had many problems, she would definitely get the house.
As they were talking, the group had already walked into the villa. Xu Youyou looked at the moldy wallpaper around and frowned slightly.
Xu Fang hurriedly took a mask and handed it to Xu Youyou.
After Xu Youyou put on the mask, she finally felt that the musty smell was isolated.
“How old is this house?”
Qian Run immediately said, "Looking back, it's quite old, at least 150 years old. It was originally called 'Song Mansion'. The owner was a descendant of the Song family, one of the four great families of the Republic of China. His ancestors were very wealthy."
Xu Youyou's gaze then fell on the dirty European-style sofa: "The decoration in this room is too outdated."
Qian Run immediately said, "Miss Xu, the decoration is outdated. This is perfect for you. You can just knock down the decoration and renovate it exactly according to your wishes."
Xu Youyou didn't comment. Accompanied by this man, she walked up and down the stairs and went all the way to the basement.
I didn’t know what this basement was used for in the past, but now it’s full of miscellaneous items.
"If you find these things an eyesore, I'll have them all taken away." Qian Run promised solemnly.
Xu Youyou's gaze fell on the wooden floor of the basement.
"Did you lay this floor?" Xu Youyou asked.
Qian Run immediately said, "How is that possible? It's unclear whether it was the previous owner or the previous owner. This house has passed through so many hands that it's hard to tell. But as you can see, the floor is made of solid wood, and it's high-quality material, so it hasn't deteriorated much over the years."
Xu Youyou nodded slightly. After walking around for so long, she had seen enough.
There was a strong smell in the house, so they moved into the small pavilion in the yard and sat down.
Qian Run was busy preparing to boil water for tea, but Xu Youyou stopped him.
"Make a price."
Qian Run's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "This house has three floors above ground and one floor underground, with a usable area of 500 square meters. Miss Xu should know better than me what the housing prices are in Shanghai these days. I won't play tricks on you with this apartment. The price is 120 million yuan."
Before Xu Youyou agreed, a voice suddenly appeared from the side.
"Little girl, you dare to buy a house with problems?"
When Qian Run saw this person, his face immediately turned ugly: "Liu Dazhi, what nonsense are you talking about? If you make trouble again, we are all finished."
The man was wearing a black Ming Dynasty Hanfu and a crown on his head, looking like a Jinyiwei. Behind him were two young men in black Tang suits, who looked like thugs.
Xu Youyou had seen many girls wearing Hanfu, but this was the first time she had met a man wearing Hanfu in real life.
This Hanfu enthusiast has a huge black mole on the left side of his forehead, as big as a broad bean, and he also has a pair of diagonal eyes, making him look not very smart.
"Qian Run, you owe Lord Hong so much money. He specifically asked you to use this house as compensation. How dare you exchange someone else's house for money?" Liu Dazi asked coldly.
Qian Run said impatiently: "I will naturally pay you back after selling it. You all wear a set of Hanfu, and you really treat him as your master?"
Liu Dazhi said, "The Red Dragon King said he wants the house."
Qian Run rolled his eyes and said, "If he wants it, I have to give it to him? I only owe him 30 million, and he wants my house that's worth over 100 million. Why doesn't he just go and rob it?"
"Do you think it's so easy to pay off the Red Dragon King's debt?" Liu Dazhi threatened.
As he spoke, he walked over quickly and grabbed Qian Run by the collar.
"What are you doing? Do you want to hit people in broad daylight?" Qian Run asked.
Xu Youyou gave a look, and the four bodyguards immediately stepped forward and took some effort to separate the two.
Liu Dazhi didn't hesitate. He turned to look at Xu Youyou and said, "Little girl, this house has an owner. You can decide for yourself."
After saying that, he walked away.
Without outsiders around, Xu Youyou said directly: "Since there is a dispute about this house, I will think about it again."
Qian Run was in a hurry to run away, and he immediately became anxious when he heard this: "No, Miss Xu, the property certificate of this house is mine. If you don't believe me, I'll show you the property certificate."
He almost crawled up to the third floor and took out the house deed hidden in the safe.
"Ms. Xu, look, there is only my name on it, and there is no bank mortgage stamp. Don't worry, the debt dispute between me and others will not affect our transaction." Qian Run said.
Xu Youyou looked critical. "There's no bank mortgage, but who knows if there's any private mortgage? You just patted your butt and ran away from home, leaving this mess to me."
