Chapter 808: Chapter 808 Meet 2

The next day, during lunchtime, Shen Mianmian met with Du Teng along with Yang Xiaoxi. The man appeared to be in his thirties, tall and thin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses for nearsightedness. When he saw Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi coming towards him, he walked over to them immediately. Seeming somewhat surprised, he still politely asked, "Hello, may I know if you are Shen Mianmian?"

"Hello, I am," Shen Mianmian replied with a smile. "You must be Mr. Du, right?"

"Yes." Du Teng sighed with relief. Although the two young ladies looked young, at least they had not stood him up. From their attire, both seemed to be from wealthy families, so maybe they truly could afford the house.

"It’s not very convenient to talk here. Have you not eaten yet? Let’s go to the nearby restaurant, have a meal, and chat," Shen Mianmian suggested.

There were no tea houses or coffee shops nearby, so she could only invite him to have a meal.

"Okay." Du Teng had no objections.

The three of them went to a noodle shop and ordered three large bowls of noodles. Then they started discussing the house. "Young lady, is it you who wants to buy this house, or is it your parents?"

"I want to buy it," Shen Mianmian said honestly. "I have already seen the house. If our discussion goes smoothly, I will handle the procedures within a few days."

Upon hearing this, knowing that Shen Mianmian really wanted to buy, Du Teng was both pleased and worried. "Young lady, your accent doesn’t sound local. Have you heard about this house? It’s a cursed house, or rather, a haunted house. It’s very unlucky and very sinister. Everyone who bought this house ended up with their families ruined and lives lost."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaoxi’s face fell, but she didn’t speak out. Since Shen Mianmian had made up her mind, it was better for her not to say much. Mianmian was smarter than her and always thought things through carefully, so there probably was no major issue.

"I’ve heard about it," Shen Mianmian smiled and said frankly, "To tell you the truth, I’ve looked at many houses, and besides yours, I can’t afford any other."

Because Du Teng had openly discussed the issues with the house, it showed his good nature, so Shen Mianmian spoke frankly and felt more reassured about buying the house.

"Ah!" Du Teng sighed, "Young lady, I won’t hide it from you. The reason this house is so cheap is that everyone who bought this house ended up ruined. I was originally an atheist, as was my family. We didn’t believe in curses and only bought it because it was cheap. But once we bought it, things happened, and we couldn’t sell it or demolish it. The house is very ominous. Since we bought it, our family business has declined dramatically, getting worse day by day. If we don’t sell the house now, we can’t even make ends meet. But I don’t want to be unethical, so I’ve told you the actual situation. If anything happens after you buy the house, please don’t blame me for not warning you beforehand!"

The current issue his family was facing was that if this house didn’t sell, they would have to sell the house they were living in now. If they sold their current home, they would either have to rent somewhere to live or move back here.

Neither option was good. If they lived in this house, they might not even survive.

For him, Shen Mianmian buying the house was like a savior, but he was also worried it might harm such a young lady.
