Chapter 69: Buying A House

Qiu Tong looked at Qiu Xingyuan’s awkward manner. Her mood improved greatly.

That stubborn brat.

After Qiu Tong settled the children, it was time for her to view the house.

“Miss Qiu, not only is this house located in a good location, but it’s also spacious and private. It’s the safest place for a mother like you who has children.”

The agent introduced the surroundings to Qiu Tong as he knocked on the door.

The owner of the house was a middle-aged man. He politely invited them in.

The house was a small two-story villa. There were five rooms upstairs, two rooms downstairs, an open kitchen and living room, as well as a small storage room.

There was an attached garden outside the house, and below it was a basement that had been transformed by the original owner into a movie theater.

Moreover, judging from the layout and environment of the house, the owner of the house was also someone who cherished the house and enjoyed life.

This was the most satisfying house Qiu Tong had seen in recent times.

Not only could each child have their own room, they could also transform the extra room into their work room.

“To be honest, if it weren’t for the fact that our whole family is going abroad, I wouldn’t have been willing to sell this house.” The middle-aged man chuckled when he saw Qiu Tong’s moved expression.

“It’s indeed very good. I can confirm my interest now.”

Qiu Tong nodded with satisfaction.

The agent’s face lit up. Another generous commission in his pocket now.

However, just as he was about to bring Qiu Tong over to make payment, a harsh female voice came from behind.

“I’m very pleased with this house. I want it.”

A woman with heavy makeup and wearing slim heels appeared in front of everyone.

“Miss Lu, Miss Qiu has decided on this house. Why don’t I show you another house?”

The agent’s expression changed when he saw the woman. He spoke respectfully.

He had arranged with Miss Lu to view houses tomorrow. He did not expect her to come looking for him today.

“I want this house.”

Miss Lu raised her chin and looked at Qiu Tong with disdain. She said arrogantly, “Why? Do you think I can’t afford it?”

The agent’s eyes were filled with panic as he looked at Qiu Tong with a troubled expression.

“Miss Qiu, do you want to look at other houses?”

Qiu Tong did not want to give up the house that she had worked so hard to find.

“First come first serve. I want this house.”

Miss Lu snorted and stretched out her five fingers, her long nails nearly poking into Qiu Tong’s eyes.

“When buying something, the highest bidder wins.”

“Owner, if you sell the house to me, I’ll add $10,000 to the total amount.”

When the owner heard that, he was tempted. He turned to Qiu Tong and waited for her reply.

Qiu Tong sneered and stepped forward.

“I’ll add $20,000!”

Miss Lu’s expression changed. Qiu Tong didn’t look rich but she was so extravagant. She did not even blink when she called out $20,000. Miss Lu’s face darkened.

“$30,000.”

Qiu Tong did not give in at all, and her aura grew even stronger.

“$40,000!”

Miss Lu did not say anything else. Although she could still bid, there was no need for her to spend so much money on this house.

After all, $40,000 was not a small sum.

Besides, she did not know Qiu Tong’s limit.

“I’ll remember you.”

Miss Lu threw down these words coldly and turned to leave. Her high heels made a sharp tapping sound on the ground, showing her anger.

A radiant smile appeared on Qiu Tong’s face when she paid the deposit and got the signed contract.

However, the agent did not look that happy. He kept sighing and looked at Qiu Tong worriedly.

“Miss Qiu, Miss Lu’s full name is Lu Zhiling. She’s a doctor from a nearby clinic.”

“She has a close relationship with Mayor Shen. You have offended her, so you must be careful in the future.”

When Qiu Tong heard the word “doctor”, she quickly recalled the incident in the clinic. Her sharp senses told her that Lu Zhiling was involved.

“Thank you for the advice, but I am not someone who is afraid of trouble.”

Qiu Tong narrowed her eyes. If this woman dared to do anything, she would settle all scores with her.

It was getting dark when Qiu Tong came out of the house. She looked down at the time and hurried towards the school.
