Chapter 1181 Accompanying Gu Dongxing to Buy a House (Seven)

The owner looked at the bankbook, and his eyes immediately widened as he counted the zeros: "Oh my God, thirteen million nine hundred thousand?" He looked at Mengyu with brightened eyes: "Miss, are you the one buying the courtyard?"

His attitude underwent a 180-degree change, shifting from arrogant and aloof to bending over respectfully: "Sorry, I was blind to not recognize you earlier. Ah, let me introduce myself, my surname is Cao, ninth in ranking, everyone calls me Ninth. How should I address you, Miss?"

"My surname is Nan." She pointed at Gu Dongxing: "This is my fiancé, and the other two are my bodyguards."

Bringing bodyguards outside, this lady is definitely no ordinary person!

Just now, he had put on airs mistakenly.

Cao Laojiu quickly said: "Since Miss Nan is earnest about buying the courtyard, let me give you an honest price, fifteen thousand!"

When Mengyu heard that the other party actually dropped the price by fifty thousand, she chuckled inwardly. The real market price of this courtyard is at least three hundred thousand. What she said before was just part of the routine bargaining, but unexpectedly, the other party immediately lowered it by fifty thousand.

This made her a bit suspicious; is this person really the owner?

She pondered for a moment and said: "Fine, fifteen thousand it is. But, I need to see your property certificate."

Le Shan found it strange: previously, when buying a house from Mrs. Luo, the Eldest Lady didn’t ask to see the property certificate. Why is she asking for it here?

Le Shui’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing Mengyu mention the property certificate: oh no, he had forgotten about this step. He had only been inquiring about places with houses for sale, without investigating whether the sellers were even qualified to sell.

In fact, when the young master spoke outside, there was already a hint of suspicion in his words. This Cao Laojiu doesn’t really seem like the owner of the courtyard.

He stepped forward, blocking Mengyu, and stared at Cao Laojiu: "Are you really the owner of this courtyard?"

A moment of panic flashed through Cao Laojiu’s eyes, but he quickly regained composure and shouted at Le Shui: "What do you mean by that? If I’m not the owner of this courtyard, then who is?"

Then he shouted at Mengyu: "Do you guys want to buy the courtyard or not? If not, then leave."

Mengyu exchanged a glance with Gu Dongxing, then looked at Cao Laojiu and said: "Who said I’m not buying? But no matter who it is, when buying something, you need to make things clear, right? Tell me, who buys such a large courtyard without asking to see the property certificate? We’re asking you to show the property certificate; isn’t that reasonable?"

Cao Laojiu was taken aback and then nodded: "Miss Nan is right, everyone’s money doesn’t grow on trees. However, I assure you that after buying this courtyard, no one will trouble you. As for the property certificate, I just don’t remember where I put it for the moment, but I’ll definitely find it to show you."

Mengyu smiled slightly: "Alright, then let’s sign a contract first." With that, she took out a standard contract form.

Cao Laojiu glanced over it hastily and couldn’t find any issues, so he picked up a pen and filled in the address, boundaries, area, price, etc., one by one.

After signing and stamping, Cao Laojiu asked Mengyu for the deposit: "A ten percent deposit, fifteen thousand is one thousand five hundred, please pay the one thousand five hundred as the deposit first."

Mengyu shook her head: "Mr. Cao, if I had seen your property certificate, I wouldn’t bat an eye before handing you the ten percent deposit. But without seeing the property certificate, how can I give you the deposit?"
