""I went to find you on the first day of the New Year, when I learned that this house had been mortgaged six years ago. The real estate agent said your grandmother kept demanding a high price and wouldn't sell. So, I bought it." Chu Xiuhuang said with casualness that reflected his wealth.
"How much?" Shi Huan asked instinctively.
"30 million."
"That expensive?" Shi Huan was surprised.
Even though the price of land in Nancheng was prohibitive, a few years ago, this house would have cost only a few million at most.
At that time, the Shi family's debt was 20 million. If this house had not been priced so high and had been sold at a lower price instead…
"If it had been sold at a lower price, your family's debt could have been reduced considerably, and you wouldn't have had to work so hard for years. Do you understand now?" Chu Xiuhuang's voice followed.
"..." Shi Huan didn't respond.
But she felt an intense pang in her heart.
