86: Buy a new house

Buying a house with a loan used to be the norm.

But that was because the value of houses was increasing, and the appreciation space would cover the interest, or even make a profit.

Now, buying a house with a loan... it's only really viable for essential needs.

For Female Salesperson, paying in full naturally doesn't offer her much benefit.

However, given the current real estate market, selling a house, especially a luxury villa worth tens of millions, is already quite good.

Moreover, her commission is not small, so she will naturally try her best to facilitate the deal.

"Mr. Xu, let me confirm with the owner..."

The Female Salesperson respectfully finished speaking, then exited the courtyard to call the owner.

After she left, Tang Xinyi also came back to her senses, and with a hint of confusion and unease, she said to Xu Zimo: "Zimo, this house is too expensive. Let's go look at others."

In her mind, even if they were buying a wedding house, a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment would definitely be enough, and such a house in Xingcheng would only cost around 500,000 yuan.

Why would they need to spend over ten million to buy a villa?

And where would the money come from?

This was also the reason for her inner unease.

Xu Zimo did not speak first; he knew very well that Tang Xinyi would find it difficult to accept for a while.

He gently placed his hands on Tang Xinyi's slender and soft arms, and his calm expression slowly eased Tang Xinyi's emotions.

Once her emotions had somewhat settled, Xu Zimo slowly opened his mouth: "Do you like this house?"

"I..."

Tang Xinyi hesitated to speak.

Because it wasn't a question of whether she liked it or not.

Seeing this, Xu Zimo's lips curved into a gentle smile, and he comforted her: "Just leave the rest to me."

Tang Xinyi gazed at him, her eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions, difficult to decipher.

Although she wasn't a gold-digger, the impact of money is effective on anyone.

Moreover, to survive in this society, material conditions are the foundation of everything.

Money can solve over ninety percent of the troubles in this world.

Tang Xinyi originally wanted to say something more.

Her small mouth opened and closed several times.

Finally, under Xu Zimo's gaze, she said nothing.

Because Xu Zimo looked very confident and wasn't joking, which meant he could afford this villa.

She certainly couldn't stop Xu Zimo from buying the house.

It was amidst her complex feelings that the Female Salesperson walked in with a smile and said, "Mr. Xu, the owner said that if the payment can be received within three days, he can sell it to you for 12.99 million yuan."

This is the current second-hand housing market.

Of course, it was also because the owner was in urgent need of funds; otherwise, he wouldn't have demanded payment within three days.

"Notify him to come over; we can sign the contract today."

Xu Zimo never liked to procrastinate.

"Okay, Mr. Xu!"

The Female Salesperson went to make another call.

During the subsequent waiting period, the three of them entered the house, and Xu Zimo led Tang Xinyi to inspect each room one by one.

The new Chinese-style light luxury decor was actually quite good; although not as grand as the one in Qingzhuyuan, it exuded elegance everywhere.

Tang Xinyi couldn't help but show her fondness in her eyes.

Although young people pursue modern styles, Chinese aesthetics are ingrained in everyone's bones.

Even those seeing it for the first time would quickly fall in love with that elegant atmosphere.

This Chinese-style courtyard villa has three floors plus a basement.

The basement is a garage and an entertainment/audio-visual room. It's perfectly fine to invite a few friends over to sing karaoke or watch movies in your free time.

The first floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, and a tea room between the two main halls.

The second floor has two rooms plus a small lounge.

The third floor only has two rooms, but it has a large open-air terrace spanning dozens of square meters.

Upon arriving at the master bedroom,

As soon as the door was closed, Tang Xinyi was embraced.

She didn't shy away, but looked at Xu Zimo with deep affection.

"If you keep this up... I'll really be unable to resist eating you up."

Xu Zimo threatened in a husky voice.

Tang Xinyi's face first flushed with shyness, then she slightly lowered her head; that momentary tenderness was like a blooming water lily.

Both delicate and beautiful.

However, she soon raised her head again, directly facing the burning passion in Xu Zimo's eyes.

No extra words were needed.

Xu Zimo lowered his head and directly pecked her delicate little mouth... About half an hour later, the owner hurried over.

This was, after all, a transaction worth tens of millions, and most importantly, he urgently needed an eight-figure sum to resolve an immediate crisis.

"Mr. Xu is truly young and promising."

The owner was a somewhat portly middle-aged man in his fifties. Upon seeing Xu Zimo and Tang Xinyi, he couldn't help but exclaim.

For Xu Zimo to be able to afford a luxury villa worth tens of millions at his age, calling him young and promising was no exaggeration.

"You're too kind."

Xu Zimo was also straightforward: "Once the procedures are done, I'll transfer the money the same day."

"That's excellent."

The middle-aged man immediately beamed with joy.

Next, of course, were various procedures. When it came to signing the contract, Xu Zimo asked Tang Xinyi to sign it instead.

Not only was Tang Xinyi stunned, but even the Female Salesperson and the owner hadn't expected it.

Because they all knew that once Tang Xinyi signed the contract, it would mean she had a share in this house.

"Zimo, you should sign it," Tang Xinyi said.

"Do we still need to distinguish between us?"

Xu Zimo looked at her calmly.

This directly blocked all of Tang Xinyi's subsequent words; she simply couldn't refuse.

In the end, both of them signed.

Next came running through various procedures, which weren't actually troublesome; it was just a matter of waiting for signatures and data entry.

By around 3 PM, all the procedures were complete. Since it was a full payment, the property deed would be issued within seven to fourteen working days.

Looking at the document bag in her hand, Tang Xinyi was still a bit dazed.

They just bought a villa worth over ten million yuan?

She had a very surreal feeling.

However, when she saw both their names written on the property transaction contract, a strange sweetness filled her heart, and she looked at Xu Zimo with deep affection.

Once in the car, Xu Zimo asked Tang Xinyi, who was in the passenger seat: "What's your card number?"

"Hmm?"

Tang Xinyi looked at him in confusion.

"Although that house is renovated, after looking at it just now, there are still quite a lot of things missing."

Although the furniture was complete.

However, there were no daily necessities at all, no mattresses, no bedding.

These would also cost a lot of money.

"Let's buy everything we need soon, so Uncle and Auntie can move in. That way, we can also be at ease."

Xu Zimo stated his initial purpose for buying the new house.

"Zimo, this... isn't this inappropriate?"

Tang Xinyi had felt uneasy even when signing the contract, but she thought that since she and Xu Zimo would be one in the future, there would be no distinction between them. But if her parents were to move in... the nature of it would change completely.

"What's inappropriate about it? If it feels too crowded, we can buy another new one, just for the two of us to live in..."

"Ah?"

Tang Xinyi stared at him, dumbfounded.
