Chapter 70: Chapter 70: A Fortuitous Encounter

***

The next day, the weather wasn’t too great.

In the middle of a blistering summer, this was a somewhat welcome relief.

Gu Lili wore a white dress and wedge sandals, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, as she arrived at Kangbei District with Tang Qingli.

This area is the Golden District, where housing prices are known to be exorbitantly high.

At the real estate agency in this neighborhood, he picked out three properties, and the agent led them to view the homes.

Eventually, Tang Qingli settled on a well-located two-story property with a spacious area.

Gu Lili also took a liking to this one.

Upon inquiry, the price was nine million five hundred thousand.

Gu Lili didn’t have that much money.

She had bought a car for over a million and refurbished a house in Xiliang Mountain.

But she wanted this house.

Tang Qingli noticed this and suggested, "Why not call the Young Master?"

"No need."

After thinking it over, she asked the landlord, "Can the price be reduced?"

"Are you serious about buying?"

"Serious."

"Nine million, not a penny less."

Gu Lili then asked, "Can I first pay eight million? I’ll pay the remaining one million in installments."

"Of course, you can."

Tang Qingli didn’t understand why she didn’t ask Long Yubei for money. It was only on the way back, after signing the contract and completing the transfer, that he raised this question.

Gu Lili replied, "Even though he and I are husband and wife, his person is mine, his money is also mine, but that’s just nominal. Really, what does his money have to do with me? It’s not like I earned it."

"Young Madam, don’t say that. One million isn’t much for the Young Master."

Gu Lili looked out the window, "I don’t want to. Anyway, I will earn money and pay off the remainder. Qingli, the dual-use commercial and residential property we saw, do you think it has great potential for appreciation?"

"In a location like this, it will only appreciate and not depreciate. There’s a lot of foot traffic. Young Madam, if you are not using it yourself, you could rent it out and collect a handsome rent."

"I need to find a way to earn good money."

Inspired by what she learned from Gu Li’s mother, Gu Lili now felt motivated to fully utilize her own capabilities.

...

In the evening, Long Yubei was working overtime at his company, and after dinner, she changed into a black outfit and headed out.

Driving around, she saw shadows flitting everywhere.

Gu Lili knew the score; to get one million quickly, she needed to target places frequented by the wealthy.

Therefore, she drove to Emperor Palace.

As a famous nightlife hub, Emperor Palace was definitely the favorite hangout for the city’s rich and influential.

She parked in the parking lot, put on a face mask and sunglasses, and entered.

Taking the elevator up to the fourth floor, the pool area.

Upon entering, her gaze fell on a few men and women inside.

Gu Xichen...

What a coincidence...

Gu Xichen’s probing gaze also recognized her.

It was too late to turn around; Gu Lili walked over to the couch, sat down, and crossed her legs, casually removing her sunglasses and mask.

"What brings you here?"

"Just browsing."

Gu Xichen asked, "Want something to drink?"

"No," Gu Lili patted the spot next to her, "Sit down."

He sat down, turning slightly, "Why are you alone, where’s your other half?"

"He’s working overtime at the company, is that Ye Yan?" Her gaze landed on a handsome man wearing a white shirt and black trousers holding a pool cue.

"Correct."

Gu Lili looked at Ye Yan not far away; she had seen this man in the news and knew he was the illegitimate son of the Ye Family.
