Chapter 89: Arrival of the Top-Grade Expert (Part 1)
Uncle Chen probed once more: "I am selling my house and moving to Shanghai to live with my son, so I must have the cash in hand."
Mengyu nodded again: "No problem, I can withdraw the full amount for you, not a penny less. However, I hope we can transfer the property as soon as possible."
Once the transfer of ownership is done, she could return quickly.
The old man was overjoyed: "Alright, I have a contact, it’s just after two o’clock now, we can go straight to handle the property transfer. All the furniture in this house, I can give it to you!"
"Okay, let’s go right away." As Mengyu spoke, she was about to head for the front door.
Who knew, Uncle Chen tugged on her sleeve: "Let’s leave through the back door."
Mengyu found it odd – why leave through the back door instead of the front? Could there be a problem with the house?
But when she carefully checked the property documents, indeed, Old man Chen’s name was written on it, and it didn’t seem like there was an issue.
Besides, if there were really an issue, could the property be transferred? As long as there is no problem with the transfer, once the property was registered in her name, there was no need to worry.
The two exited through the back door, Old man Chen then led her through a side gate in the back garden, and only then they emerged from a small alleyway.
Seeing Mengyu’s innocent face, a flash of guilt passed through Old man Chen’s eyes, but he explained: "This alleyway is a bit closer."
"Alright." Mengyu, though a bit suspicious, wasn’t worried as long as there was no problem with the property transfer.
If there was really a problem, she would just have to find Cheng Jiuhe, a friend of Gu Dongxing.
But there were no issues at the property department, the title was very clear, there were no loans, no disputes, and the department readily processed the transfer. Mengyu’s heart settled down.
However, she was too quick to feel at ease.
At this time, property transfers were still very easy, unlike later when transferring a property could take more than a month. Because she knew the right people, they quickly completed the transfer formalities.
Mengyu was resolute, the property transferred, and she withdrew thirty thousand yuan, paying Old man Chen in one go.
That very night, Mengyu moved into the house, the old man made a phone call to his son, and a car came to pick him up early the next morning.
Seeing the old man depart so hastily, Mengyu doubted once more: could the house truly have no issues? After Old man Chen left, Mengyu toured her new property with great joy, thirty thousand yuan – she actually managed to buy such a courtyard house.
Although she had purchased the courtyard, Mengyu was thinking of buying another house in an area that was not slated for demolition in the future, as those would be places where she could live long term.
As for this courtyard, it’s considered an investment.
Even though at this time thirty thousand yuan could be worth three million in the future, in reality, it’s hard to turn thirty thousand yuan into three million later on. Therefore, investing directly in real estate is better.
Even if it’s just an investment, she could still live there for at least twenty years before any demolition, and it might be worth spending one or two thousand yuan for some renovations.
As Mengyu was planning how to renovate, the courtyard door was pounded.
Yes, pounded, not knocked.
Mengyu opened the courtyard door and saw the woman who had left in anger the day before standing at the entrance.
"Why is it you? Where’s Old man Chen?"
"He moved away."
The middle-aged woman yelled loudly: "What, he moved away? Isn’t he selling the house?"
Mengyu replied indifferently: "He sold the house to me."
"What?" The middle-aged woman was furious: "How dare you buy his house? I saw this place first, how dare you interfere?"
