Chapter 833: Don’t Be Too Greedy
The renovation team leader had seen ngyu’s property deed before; he knew ngyu was the real owner of this courtyard. Previously, he thought he was just a doer, and no matter how the parties argued, it had nothing to do with him.
But now, hearing ngyu’s words, he realized if ngyu wanted to sue, he’d be the first to suffer!
He imdiately backed down.
"Second Young Master Cheng, you should first clarify the ownership of this courtyard. Once you’ve figured it out, I’ll co back to renovate. For now, I’ll lead my brothers and leave."
Cheng Jiunian panicked a little: "No, you guys please don’t leave, I—"
"Second Young Master Cheng, if we don’t clear up the ownership issue, we can’t work on this. It’s better for us to withdraw for now, to avoid you paying wages for nothing, right?"
The renovation team leader, as he spoke, leaned in to Cheng Jiunian’s ear and said, "This girl has a property deed," and then shouted to the workers, "Let’s go!" He directly led the renovation workers away, leaving the place clean.
He ca with the renovation workers to support Cheng Jiunian, but now that they left, Cheng Jiunian was left alone, like a commander without his troops.
The montum he tried hard to build disappeared instantly.
Cheng Jiunian watched helplessly as all the workers cleared out of the courtyard. Then he turned to face ngyu: "I never expected you to be so capable, but I am determined to get this courtyard. How much did you spend buying it from Cheng Jiuhe?"
ngyu’s eyes narrowed slightly: is Cheng Jiunian planning to forcibly buy her courtyard after failing to seize it?
She had heard what the renovation team leader said to Cheng Jiunian. She wasn’t hiding the fact she had a property deed; she just deliberately didn’t show it due to their poor attitude.
If they had been polite from the start, she wouldn’t have treated them this way.
Cheng Jiunian probably changed tactics after hearing the renovation team leader’s words, coupled with his exit leaving him without support.
ngyu didn’t answer Cheng Jiunian, instead she lazily yawned: "I really like this courtyard, you see, there’s a garden behind, the northwest corner can grow vegetables, even raise so chickens for eggs. Living here, one can be self-sufficient. So, I’m not planning to sell.
You entered my courtyard and started renovating my house without my consent, and the courtyard’s flowerbeds have been damaged, which logically should be restored by you.
But that would an enduring you operating in my courtyard, so let’s just offset it with the materials you brought in. Take care and goodbye."
Listening to ngyu’s dismissive words, Cheng Jiunian was filled with anger: "I warn you, don’t be too arrogant."
ngyu snorted coldly: "How am I arrogant? Should I be courteous to those who break into my ho intending to seize my property and say: ’Thank you for coming to steal my courtyard, I’ll just hand it over to you’?"
"Ah Nian, maybe we should just forget about it. We can live with your parents, or you could co live with back ho."
Hearing Xiao Jie’s words, Cheng Jiunian’s anger burned even more – to marry a wife and not be able to secure a place for her, can he still call himself a man?
He suppressed his anger: "Just tell , how much do you want for this courtyard?"
"If you really want to buy—then how about this!" ngyu held up one finger.
Leng Xiangchen looked at ngyu raising one finger, feeling curious. Her deanor didn’t seem like she wanted to sell the courtyard, so why was she quoting a price?
