Qiu Sangu sat in her own house, holding a cup of tea, but constantly swallowing saliva.
Contrasting sharply with Qiu Sangu, Gu Nuan looked at the contract quietly, as if everything around her was just air.
Qiu Sangu glanced at the contract in Gu Nuan's eyes. She had actually read it once before, feeling it was just so, buying and selling a house, the price clearly written on it, she didn't know what Gu Nuan was looking at that seemed like picking ants off. If it were her, as long as she scanned how much money the other party was giving and when it was given, that was the most important thing.
Money only mattered when it was in hand; otherwise, nothing was of any use.
That was Qiu Sangu's thought. At this moment, Qiu Sangu had no idea that above, on the ceiling, a pair of eyes were scanning the two of them sitting below.
Gu Nuan finished reading the contract without any hurry to act, just gently scanned straight ahead. Without careful observation, she would not have noticed the camera mounted on the glass partition between the living room and the dining room.
Was it Qiu Sangu who had installed it in her own house? Or was it installed after the other party moved in? Either way, right now, someone was clearly watching through the camera, indicating that the camera was in operation and currently controlled by someone.
What could this imply?
It implied that the other party really wanted this house.
The greater the desire, the control of the initiative. If the buyer is eager to buy, or the seller is eager to sell, whoever holds the initiative has the right to set the price.
With a thought in her mind, Gu Nuan placed the contract on the coffee table and said, "I've looked at the contract."
"Is there any problem? If not, you should have brought your ID card, then we can sign it," Mr. Li on the other side, responsible for signing the contract with them, said.
Qiu Sangu translated Mr. Li's words for Gu Nuan as she wrote them down in a notebook.
Gu Nuan nodded, then turned back to the other side and said, "We want to review the contract more carefully. However, if we're speaking about this current contract, we believe it's not suitable for signing."
"Why?" Mr. Li's face seemed to show a hint of incomprehension.
"Of course, it's because your offer is too low," Qiu Sangu couldn't help but speak up first to raise the price.
"Low?" Mr. Li seemed displeased and said, "Your house, if put on the market, might not even sell for tens of thousands. You should be very clear about this. If it weren't for our Mr. Qiao feeling lucky to have stayed in your house—"
Qiu Sangu started to swallow saliva in her throat again. She had almost no power to refute this point. Indeed, her house, not even to rent, was wanted by anyone, let alone someone willing to buy it.
Now, someone was offering three hundred thousand for her Haunted House, and she was nearly thanking the heavens. But, wasn't it because of the hope Gu Nuan gave her? The hope that she could sell it for more than three hundred thousand. Now, she only hoped Gu Nuan wasn't tricking her, causing her not to even be able to sell it for three hundred thousand?
Seeing Qiu Sangu getting anxious as her appetite was whetted, Gu Nuan proceeded at her own pace without haste. Her gaze swept over the contract on the table and said, "The issue is, you're not buying this house."
"What do you mean we're not buying this house?"
"It's the land. It's clearly written on the contract that you're buying the house and the land around the house. Although, you're well aware that this house and its land are collective land, which can't be privately sold, thus your contract states that it's buying the land contracting and circulation rights, and according to these initial terms, unless you voluntarily withdraw, it's indefinite. Actually, this equates to buying and selling the land."
