Chapter 179 - The Fate Of The Wicked (1)
"The property is already transferred under my name, that, I'm sure of." Xi Qian replied to Lu Qingfeng's comment. She couldn't believe that this little tyrant was willingly helping her right now, but she had to admit that Lu Qingfeng was making it easier for her to deal with her problem.
"You already have the documents and the title?" Lu Qingfeng questioned.
"En. It's in my possession. Grandma already prepared it before she died, so I didn't need to do much."
"Then, would you agree if I call a realtor now to appraise your home?" Lu Qingfeng continued to probe.
Xi Qian fell silent at that. Was she really going to sell her house in order for her to continue her studies? Then where would she live after that? She knew how expensive it was to rent a house in a bustling city like Qiying City.
As if sensing her predicament, Su Xiaofei hooked her arm with Xi Qian's. The slight scowl on Xi Qian's face was already a giveaway of her dilemma.
"Qian, if you are worried about where to stay, you can live with me and Mama. Our house is huge, and we still have spare bedrooms you could use. If you don't like that, then I don't mind lending you my apartment, I haven't gone there in weeks. The only payment I ask is for you to keep it clean while I'm not around."
"Feifei… this…" Xi Qian looked at her with teary eyes. She wasn't blessed with a pair of responsible and dependable parents, but she felt like heaven had graced her a good friend in the form of Su Xiaofei.
"Isn't this too much?"
"What is too much? You are my best friend. If I was the one in your shoes, I know you would also do your best to help me. How can I allow you to sleep on the streets? With the money you would gain from selling your house, you can attend the med school you've been eyeing for. You don't need to waste money renting a small place and use that money to continue your studies. Just accept my offer, Qian. I'm already considering selling that place since I'm not using it." Su Xiaofei countered.
Xi Qian smiled and wiped her tears dry. "I haven't even taken the entrance exams yet, how could you be certain that I would get admitted to med school?"
"With the kind of brain you have, it's not impossible, Qian. You only need to give it your best shot, and you'll make it." She gave Xi Qian a confident wink.
If Su Xiaofei put it that way, how can Xi Qian not do her best? In this world, the person who first believed Xi Qian's capabilities weren't her parents, but her grandmother and Su Xiaofei.
"Did you already apply for the entrance examination?" Su Xiaofei inquired. With Xi Qian's busy schedule, juggling school and her part-time job, Su Xiaofei wouldn't be surprised if her best friend forgot about it.
"En. I just filed it last week. How about you, Feifei? What are your plans after graduation?" Xi Qian was the one who questioned Su Xiaofei this time. It seemed that even Lu Qingfeng was curious to hear the young woman's answer.
"Well…" Su Xiaofei knew that she cannot neglect her studies this time. She glanced at Lu Qingfeng, who was looking at her, as if he wanted her to come with him to Shenjing, but that's not possible.
Unlike these two, Su Xiaofei knew her limits. She didn't have the ability to excel academically like them. It would be hard for her to enter the med school Xi Qian wanted to attend, and she didn't have the heart to leave her mother on her own just to follow Lu Qingfeng in Shenjing.
"I'll stay here with Mama and attend a university in Guangshang." She finally replied. It wasn't like she would be separated from these two friends of hers once they graduated from QCA.
"Why in Guangshang? Why couldn't it be here in Qiying City too?" Xi Qian furrowed her brows in confusion, while Lu Qingfeng immediately understood the reason behind Su Xiaofei's decision.
"So it will be easier for me to reach Bluemedia after classes." Su Xiaofei had decided to succeed her mother in the company. In her previous life, she had zero chance of protecting her mother and Bluemedia because she didn't have what it took to lead the company, unlike Mo Yuchen.
"Ohh… so you and Lu Qingeng would be bigshot CEOs in the future while I'll be a poor doctor who barely has time to sleep, doing rounds." Xi Qian giggled. Just thinking about their future already improved her dampened mood.
"Okay. Lu Qingfeng, can you please call the realtor to appraise my house then? I would like to settle this issue as soon as possible." She told Lu Qingfeng. "It would be better if I could sell it at the highest possible price."
The young man nodded and pulled out his phone. "That can be arranged."
He had sent his personal assistant, Miss Katarina, to contact the person who could help Xi Qian solve her current predicament. At least now, Su Xiaofei wouldn't think that he was heartless towards Xi Qian.
The next day, Xi Qian found herself seated across the development company's representative, with the realtor and lawyer Lu Qingfeng had arranged for her. She didn't think that the little tyrant would be able to arrange things for her this fast, but she reminded herself to thank him properly for his assistance later.
"Miss Xi, thank you for cooperating with us." The man across from her said with a polite smile before pushing a cheque worth 1.2 million to her.
Xi Qian was rendered speechless upon seeing it.. She hadn't expected that Lu Qingfeng's people were able to close the deal at such a high price. She had never thought that her little, old house would cost over a million!
