Chapter 531: Chapter 531 Selling House Privately 1

Shen Mianmian pinched her little cheeks, which were so tender and fun to play with. As she laughed and played with the baby, who giggled happily, they were soon distracted by a commotion at the door.

"Hello, we’re here to view the house."

A man, accompanied by a middle-aged couple, stood at the door, speaking with Li Shiping.

"View what house?" Li Shiping looked puzzled as she had never asked anyone to come and view the house.

"Isn’t this house supposed to be for sale?" The man was clearly dissatisfied with Li Shiping’s obstruction, "Would you mind stepping aside? I need to show the house to my clients."

"Could there be some misunderstanding?" Li Shiping said, "I am the owner of the house, but I have never said I wanted to sell it."

How could she possibly think of selling the house—a dowry gift from her parents?

These people were too strange, coming to view the house out of the blue. Didn’t they understand that trespassing was illegal?

Seeing that Li Shiping did not seem to be lying, the man checked his documents again, his face darkening. He showed her the information on the papers, "It’s clearly written here that this house is for sale."

"Who contacted you about selling the house?" asked Shen Mianmian as she walked over with the child in her arms. "Sir, could you please tell us the name of the person who contacted you to sell the house?"

"Gu Jianbin." The man gave the name, "Do you know him? He said he’s the owner here."

As she had suspected, Shen Mianmian turned to Li Shiping and feigned ignorance, "Sister Shiping, do you and your husband intend to sell the house?"

Upon hearing the name Gu Jianbin, Li Shiping’s face turned pale, "He mentioned it before, but I didn’t agree. I didn’t expect... he would actually call someone to view the house."

Without the house, where would she and her child live? How could she explain this to her family?

However, the man outside didn’t care about any of this; learning from their conversation that the husband intended to sell the house, he forcefully tried to bring clients inside to view it. Li Shiping, being timid, didn’t know how to stop them and was afraid to speak harshly.

Seeing the situation, Shen Mianmian spoke softly, "Sir, she is the owner of the house. My brother-in-law has no right to sell it. As you can see, my sister has no intention to sell either. So, I am sorry, but we cannot let you come in to view the house."

The man was about to speak when the woman buyer behind him started complaining about no longer wanting to view the house, "This house has property disputes. Even if I liked it, I wouldn’t dare to buy it. Let’s go, let’s go! We’re not looking anymore."

Being a woman herself and seeing a husband selling the house behind his wife’s back made her feel angry. Had she known it was like this, she would not have come to view the house.

She was superstitious and believed the feng shui when buying a house mattered. If the male owner could sell the house without his wife’s consent, she feared buying this house might land her in the same situation as Li Shiping.

The woman’s husband clearly feared a property dispute as well and turned to follow his wife out.

Seeing this, the man was very speechless, muttering and cursing as he also left.

The house was nice and the visiting couple seemed well-off; he had thought this would be a big deal, never expecting it to be a false hope.

What bad luck.

Li Shiping closed the door and sat back down on the couch, still in a daze. She really couldn’t understand what her husband was trying to do.

"Sister Shiping, are you alright?"

Shen Mianmian looked at Li Shiping’s red-rimmed eyes, unsure of how to comfort her.

Before the divorce from Wan Dongcheng, Li Shiping was bound to go through a very difficult time; otherwise, she wouldn’t give up on Wan Dongcheng.
