60 An Awful Mess
Keeley looked at Edward innocently and replied sweetly, âMr. Edward, Iâm not causing trouble. Iâm just helping you to check if theyâre sincere in buying.â
Edward pointed the finger at Keeley, but his upbringing did not allow him to say rude vulgarities. After saying âyouâ for a long time, he could only suppress his anger and turn to Vivian. âMiss Vivian, letâs go and talk face to face.â
Vivian looked at Keeley, who had warned her, and smiled. She then turned around and walked elegantly to the coffee shop opposite.
Lillian and Daisy chose a seat that wasnât too far or too close, where they could see the entire coffee shop.
!!
Edward, Vivian, and Leon sat in a more private corner.
Edward told Vivian why he sold the house and Keeleyâs mischief, and Vivian suddenly understood why he had explicitly told her not to wait at the door.
This wasnât being considerate. He was afraid he wouldnât be able to get away after knowing the inside story.
Vivian gave Edward a meaningful look. âIf miss Keeley didnât see me calling you, I donât know when Iâd find out about this troublesome tenant.â
Edward blushed. He was in a hurry to leave, and Keeley had been causing trouble. So, he had thought of an excuse to trick Vivian into buying it. When the transfer was done the next day, he would no longer have to worry about it.
Now that Vivian had seen through him, Edward was a little ashamed. âMiss Vivian, you can see the location of my shop. Itâs located in a bustling commercial pedestrian street adjacent to two high-end shopping malls. The famous financial circle and Central Business District Center are just one street away, so thereâs no need to worry about business. My store is 268 square meters, and according to the market price, itâs worth at least 2.1 million. Iâll give you 20 thousand less as an apology for hiding it from you.â
With Miss Keeley around, the shop would not be sold so easily. Vivian knew nothing about the difficulty of the mess, so she would not agree so quickly.
She slowly took a sip of coffee and said, âMr. Edward, did you bring the rental contract for this shop?â
Edward nodded repeatedly. He had brought everything he could, not just the lease contract. If the Housing Authority was still working during the day, he could transfer the documents immediately.
Vivian looked at the documents on the table and chuckled. She could tell that Edward had been exhausted by Keeley. âMr. Edward, does Keeley have any background? â
Edward rarely asked about the tenantsâ privacy. He frowned and thought for a long time. âI donât know, but I heard her mention the black snake gang when she threatened others. This gang is a famous local snake in our area. Iâm not very clear about the rest.â
Vivian lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. âMr. Edward, I still need to think about it. Iâll contact you when Iâve thought it through.â
Edward quickly tried to persuade her when he heard the customer he had been looking for was about to run away again. âIâll give you another 20,000 Yuan discount! I can see that youâre not an ordinary person since youâre able to buy all the shops here at such a young age. Things that seem troublesome to me are different when it comes to you.â
Vivian looked up at Edward, the corners of her lips lifted slightly, and she said in a soft voice, âIsnât it a little small to let 40,000 Yuan in interest to buy a shop that I donât know if it can be opened?â
Edward knew that there was still room for negotiation, so he immediately asked, âThen how much do you think we can decide on?â
There was no need to be soft-hearted when it came to ripping off others. After all, she still had a lot of uses for her money. After careful calculation, it was not forbidden to use it. Vivianâs red lips parted slightly. âGive me three hundred thousand.â
âThree hundresthousand?â Edward shouted in surprise.
Edward was a little angry, thinking that Vivian was playing with him. âMs. Vivian, do you really want it?â
Vivian looked at Edward with a serious expression and said slowly, âMr. Edward, do you think Iâm taking advantage of you? Iâm afraid Iâll lose out. Since the other party dared to say such harsh words, it means they have some background, but itâs impossible to determine how big or small the power behind them is. Iâm also taking a gamble. If I find out in a few days that I canât afford to offend them. I wouldnât dare to buy it even if you gave me 300,000 less.â
