After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1033 - 548: An Unexpected Bargain

Cai Xiuyi's words confused Chen Feng.

He certainly didn't know this Zhang, let alone recognize him, yet from Cai Xiuyi's words, it seemed like he had done something to this Zhang.

There was clearly some misunderstanding.

Thus, Chen Feng honestly said, "I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know Zhang at all, nor do I know what happened to him. How do you expect me to show leniency to him?"

"Yes, yes, I know you don't know him, I understand. It's just that Zhang is currently suspended and under investigation. He used to be my father's secretary, and my father took good care of him, treating him like a family member.

Later, when my father retired, Zhang reciprocated and took care of our family, even looking out for my husband's business. So, my husband and I are very worried about him, trying everything we can to help him through this."

Cai Xiuyi's words were quite tactful, but she clearly believed that Chen Feng was involved in Zhang's suspension and investigation.

Chen Feng again honestly stated, "I still don't understand what you're saying. There is absolutely no connection between Zhang and me."

Cai Xiuyi quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, there's definitely no connection between you and him."

"Let's not talk about him then," Chen Feng said, returning to the main subject, "If you truly want to sell your house, I can take it over."

Cai Xiuyi felt a pang of heartache upon hearing this, but still maintained a calm and relaxed tone, saying, "Of course, we are 100% sincere about selling this house. Yes, we'll sell it to you for 5 million, does that work for you?"

Chen Feng laughed, "The price is certainly acceptable, it feels like I'm taking advantage of you."

Cai Xiuyi quickly responded modestly, "Oh no, we've lived in this house for many years and were planning to sell it anyway to move to a more spacious detached villa just over by East Sea University's West City campus. It's convenient for my son who is in his sophomore year there."

"Your son is an outstanding student, that's impressive," Chen Feng complimented, which counted as a return of favor since they were selling him the house at half price. It was only right to praise them a bit.

As expected, upon hearing Chen Feng's words, Cai Xiuyi was delighted and said with a smile, "This child has been smart since he was young. He even overperformed slightly in the college entrance exam and made it into East Sea University."

"Well, when will it be convenient for you?" Chen Feng quickly redirected the conversation back.

Hearing this, Cai Xiuyi knew exactly what it meant. Her heart ached once more, but she quickly replied, "We're available anytime on our side. It mainly depends on when you can come over to meet us and complete the property transaction."

Chen Feng decisively said, "I have time right now, so how about I come to your house now? You can also notify your husband, and we can finalize the paperwork today."

"Ah... okay, no problem."

With a bleeding heart, Cai Xiuyi quickly agreed. Zhang's issue couldn't be delayed; it had to be resolved as soon as possible. Yet, thinking about the house, which was worth at least 12 million, she felt inevitable heartache selling it to Chen Feng for 5 million.

"Then it's settled, I'll be at Bibo Garden within the hour. Notify your husband in the meantime."

"Okay, we'll be waiting for you."

...

After hanging up the phone, Cai Xiuyi looked at her husband, Cui Yushu, sitting next to her and said with a heartache, "The other party agreed, which means we've essentially given away seven or eight million to him. Do you think it will make any difference?"

Cui Yushu, too, felt a pang of heartache, but it didn't show on his face. He sighed and said, "There's no other way. Zhang has taken good care of me for years. Many deals for my company were closed largely due to his connections. We can't just stand by and do nothing. Besides, his close relationship with your father would drag him into trouble if Zhang got caught up in this. We have to help him out of both personal and familial duty."

"I'm worried that Chen Feng will take the advantage and then refuse to acknowledge us," Cai Xiuyi said with a worried face.

"He shouldn't do that," Cui Yushu shook his head, "He's at least a decent person with reputation; he wouldn't take the benefit and not do the deed. Besides, we don't have any serious enmity with him now. We've already admitted our fault and given him the house at such a low price, he should be satisfied."

"I'm just afraid he'll continue to demand more from us," Cai Xiuyi still wore a worried look.

"Don't worry," Cui Yushu comforted, "From what I know of him, he shouldn't be that way. I've mentioned to you about that second-generation Fan Xin, who had a conflict with Chen Feng over a woman. Fan Xin eventually apologized and sold a house here at a low price to him, and his uncle passed through safely. Our situation is much milder. Now that we've promised him such a big benefit, he shouldn't ask for anything else."

"Let's hope so," Cai Xiuyi sighed.

On Chen Feng's end, after wrapping up the call with Cai Xiuyi, he immediately contacted the real estate lawyer, Lu Guancheng, asking him to check the background of Cui Yushu's house in Bibo Garden for any issues like multiple sales, mortgages, or other disputes.

Lu Guancheng got back with no detected issues in less than half an hour, so Chen Feng asked him to draft a sales contract and bring it to Bibo Garden.

By then, Chen Feng had also arrived at Bibo Garden and first went to see Liu Ying.

When Chen Feng arrived, Liu Ying and her mother had just finished dinner and were watching TV together.

Liu Ying was very surprised by Chen Feng's sudden visit. After all, Chen Feng had already visited just yesterday; his visit today clearly showed he valued her more than before.

What surprised her and her mother even more was that as soon as Chen Feng sat down, he said to her, "I'm planning to buy the house next door from Cai Xiuyi and register it in your name. Is that okay?"

Liu Ying and her mother were both dumbfounded upon hearing this.

"Are you kidding me?" Liu Ying was the first to react, still mostly in disbelief, "Why would she sell their perfectly fine house? And to you?"

Chen Feng chuckled and said proudly, "It's her and her husband who are pushing to sell the house to me at a low price. I can't even refuse, so I've decided to buy it."

"Is this for real? Why would they do that?" Liu Ying was still in disbelief.

"Absolutely true," Chen Feng nodded with a smile, "As for the reason, I can only tell you they have some requests for me."

As for them offering such a bargain, Chen Feng saw no reason to refuse. Whether they were misunderstanding something about him or not, it wasn't his concern since he had clearly stated several times that he had nothing to do with Zhang.

Liu Ying and her mother, after exchanging bewildered looks for a while, finally accepted the reality.

Once Liu Ying came to her senses, she curiously asked, "How much are they planning to sell the house to you for?"
