“Besides, Zixuan didn’t come, so Sister’s car can drop me off. You’re different. You need to use the car when you go out to discuss things.” Li Miao said again.
Only then did Gong Wenbai dispel this thought, “Alright, remember to call me if there’s anything.”
After sending Li Miao back to the dormitory, Gong Wenbai left.
Although there was a wedding house, Gong Wenbai didn’t move in. He was still sharing a room with a few friends.
On the other side, Li Xu and Zhang Kun booked the same hotel that they had booked when they accompanied Ji Zixuan here for the exam.
After settling the procedures, the four of them walked to the room.
Li Xu and Ji Yuanyuan were in one room, while Zhang Kun and Ji Zi’ang were in the other.
Before it was time to sleep, the four of them entered the same room.
“Mom, when are we going to Brother Mucheng’s house? 1 want to see Grandpa Qin,” he asked curiously.
Li Xu looked at Zhang Kun and said, “Shall we go and take a look the day before we leave?”
Zhang Kun nodded, “Alright. Mucheng will probably be busy during this period of time. Let’s not disturb them too much.”
If they passed in the next few days, the Qin family might even let them stay overnight.
That would be too troublesome.
“That’ll take a few days!” Ji Zi’ang was a little disappointed.
“We’re here for business this time, not for fun. You’re already in your second year of high school. Don’t think about playing all day long. Did you bring your textbooks? Go back to your room and read later.” Li Xu lectured him.
“Mom, why are you such a wet blanket?” Ji Zi’ang stuck out his tongue.
However, he didn’t mention going to the Qin family anymore. Soon, he took his bag and went to the room next door.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Zhang Kun drove to Li Miao’s school and picked her up. The few of them began their journey to look at the house again.
For the next three days, they spent every day looking at houses.
They had checked almost all the houses near B University and Hua University.
Ji Yuanyuan held a small notebook in her hand and recorded the details of all the houses.
There were a few houses that were not bad. It was just that for a moment, Li Xu and the others were still somewhat uncertain.
Ji Yuanyuan spent most of her time in B City after she became an adult in her previous life.
Although she did not lack a place to live and had never bought a house, her colleagues at that time loved to discuss these things.
The main reason was that the housing prices in B City had risen too quickly for a period of time. Some people who did not seize the opportunity were filled with regret and would bring it up every once in a while.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan had quite an impression of one of the residential areas.
The few districts that had the highest prices had this.
“Mom, I think we should choose this one!” Ji Yuanyuan pointed at the name of the residential area and said to Li Xu.
If they bought it now, the price of the house would increase by dozens of times in ten years. They would make a killing.
Li Xu took a look and hesitated, “This neighborhood…”
“How good is this? It’s a new house, and it’s a roughcast house. There’s a lot of space for you to use it. Moreover, the building was high and the view was good. Standing in the room, one could see the garden in front of them. There’s also an elevator. The property management staff are also young. It’s convenient to ask them for help if there’s anything.”
Li Xu listened carefully to Ji Yuanyuan’s words and asked in a low voice, “Do you like this house?”
“1 like it anyway.” Ji Yuanyuan nodded.
Li Xu was silent for a moment before taking a deep breath, “Then let’s not think too much. Let’s just decide on this one then!”
Zhang Kun knew Li Xu’s character, so he was not too surprised when he saw this.
However, this was the first time Li Miao knew that her sister was so straightforward.
She looked at Li Xu in surprise and asked, “So it’s settled?”
“What else?” Li Xu nodded in surprise. “The prices were about the same, so it was meaningless to compare them. Since my daughter likes this one, then let’s buy it!”
Li Miao gave Li Xu a thumbs up, “The highest realm of spoiling a daughter!”
Li Xu patted Ji Yuanyuan’s head, “I only have this one daughter. If I don’t dote on her, who should I dote on?”
Li Miao smiled and asked, “How about this? You guys think about it tonight. If it’s confirmed, we’ll go to the sales office tomorrow to pay the deposit. The houses over there are quite popular now. The floor you chose is also good. I’m afraid that it will be bought by others if I’m too late.”
“Why are we waiting for tomorrow?” Li Xu said. “Go now! ]”
“Isn’t that too fast? Are you sure you don’t want to think about it?”
“Get in the car. We’ll go now.” Li Xu shook her head and instructed Zhang Kun.
Until they reached the sales office, Li Miao still felt that it was a little unreal.
There were houses on the seventh and eighth floors now. As the saying goes, there were many things to do. Li Xu and Zhang Kun discussed it for a while and confirmed that they wanted a house on the seventh floor.
The location was confirmed, the deposit was paid, and the purchase agreement was signed. The preliminary preparations were completed.
Next, they were busy with the loan.
Fortunately, there were no restrictions on buying a house in B City.
This loan matter was probably not difficult to deal with.
Although Zhang Jun and Zhang Yao said they wanted to help, and Li Yong and Li Lei could also borrow money, they could only gather more than 200,000 yuan. This house was more than 600,000 yuan, so they still needed more than 300,000 yuan.
They didn’t want to borrow so much money. If they couldn’t pay it back in a short time, they would be very anxious.
The two of them discussed for a while and decided to borrow a portion and take out a loan.
They borrowed 70,000 to 80,000 yuan, which was more than 300,000 yuan. The remaining 300,000 yuan was a loan.
Knowing Li Xu’s thoughts, Li Miao suggested, “Sis, I happen to have 350,000 yuan here. Why don’t you use 300,000 yuan first? I’ll just keep 50,000 yuan!”
Her betrothal gifts and dowry were all on her card. She could raise them whenever she wanted.
“Brother Gong and 1 don’t need that much money. We have a car and a house. 1 don’t need to buy them. I only need to spend some money on renovation and furniture. 50,000 yuan is enough.”
Li Xu quickly declined, “No, no, how can we take your money? Besides, this is your betrothal gift. If we use it, Xiao Gong will definitely be unhappy. You can keep it for yourself. The house has already been bought. You should spend money on renovations and whatnot. Don’t be reluctant.”
“I discussed it with Big Brother Gong and he agreed. We really won’t be able to use this money in the next few years.” Li Miao’s expression was very sincere. “Besides, you and Brother-in-law gave me a lot of money to spend in the past. 1’11 lend you this money as a way to repay you!”
Seeing that Li Xu still refused to accept it, Li Miao said, “How about this? You guys calculate the money according to the bank’s interest rate and I’ll give you interest every month. I’ll just treat it as a fixed deposit! This way, 1 won’t lose anything, and you can save money. It’s the best of both worlds!”
Seeing Li Xu’s expression loosen, she said again, “Anyway, I’m keeping this money with me. I plan to save it for a fixed period.”
Li Xu’s expression was a little hesitant.. After a moment, she asked tentatively, “Have you discussed it with Xiao Gong?”
