Those willing to buy are offered extremely low prices.

Now that the Chiang family has fallen, the house has been mortgaged to the bank, and it's unknown who it will end up with in the future.

The old lady was actually uneasy. Who knew who the next homeowner would be, whether they would be as easy to talk to as the Jiang family, whether they would treat her well or not.

The old lady already had the intention to move, and with April's persuasive skills, she was naturally tempted and sold the two rooms on the second floor for eleven million.

Eight million was given to April to help her buy a two-bedroom apartment nearby suitable for the elderly, and the remaining three million was put into a fixed deposit, with the interest enough to cover the old lady's daily expenses.

The Jiang family got the house back, the old lady got a new house, and her future life was secured, so everyone was happy.

Chapter 218 Price

With the two rooms on the second floor reclaimed, the entire building was put up for sale, which greatly increased the interest of several customers.

However, when it came to actually quoting prices, things fell apart again.

For someone who can afford the villa on Fuxing Street, it wouldn't be difficult to find out the details of the property.

Upon investigation, it turned out the house was mortgaged, and the owner was heavily in debt.

Many people tend to avoid houses that are mortgaged to banks, have unclear property rights, and may have other hidden debts.

Even if they have the intention to buy, they won't offer a high price, mostly hoping to find a bargain.

Thus, after a round of bidding, Ye Jinyan came out on top with a bid of 54 million.

He was friends with Nan Sun's aunt Daisy and knew the Jiang family's background, so he wasn't afraid of being scammed because of any hidden debts or property disputes related to the house.

However, the asking price of 54 million for the entire villa was not actually high. After deducting Li Mu's 11 million, the Jiang family would only receive 43 million.

That's normal. Ye Jinyan isn't doing charity work. Even though he's buying the house out of respect for Daisy, he can't let her not make a profit.

This offer was significantly lower than the market price, and it was also the highest among the several potential buyers. Nan Sun calculated that after deducting the bank loan, various debts, and interest, the proceeds from the sale of the house, amounting to 43 million, might only amount to a few hundred thousand.

That evening, the two talked about the matter, and Nan Sun still felt a little regretful.

“I was hoping to make more money from the sale. If the old house is gone, I can use it as a down payment for a new house! At least I'll have a place to live. But after paying off the debts, I only have a few hundred thousand left.”

Li Mu suddenly remembered that in the drama, Ye Jinyan bought the Jiang family's house, and after paying off her debts with the proceeds from the sale, she only had a few hundred thousand yuan left.

Nan Sun thought the debts were finally paid off, but Jiang's father committed suicide by jumping off a building. Then another group of people came to collect the debts, including a total debt of more than three million.

Because of these debts, Nan Sun was brought down to earth. In order to repay her father's debts, she accepted reality and began to adapt to the cutthroat world of business.

It is clear that Jiang's father's suicide was not impulsive. He had spent most of his life struggling and knew that he was unable to repay this debt, so he could only escape by committing suicide.

His escapism, however, caused great suffering for Nan Sun, forcing her to transform from an elegant and serene artistic goddess into a white-collar worker struggling for profit.

In comparison, Li Mo prefers Nan Sun now, who is sometimes like a goddess and sometimes as innocent and carefree as a little princess.

Holding Nan Sun's fair and delicate hand, Li Mu gently stroked it a few times, then reminded her, "Have you finished tallying up your family's debts? If you sell it at this price, will you be able to pay off your debts?"

"Your uncle isn't very reliable in this regard. You should ask carefully and make sure you understand the situation, so that you don't lose your money and then someone comes to collect the debt."

Nan Sun didn't quite trust her father either. Thinking back to how her father had hesitated when the debts were tallied, she nodded and said, "You're right. I'll have a good talk with him tomorrow."

The following day, under Nan Sun's persistent questioning, Jiang's father finally admitted that there was still a debt dispute involving more than three million yuan.

The Jiang family was thrown into a panic, and the old lady was furious. According to the current asking price, even if they sold the old house, they wouldn't be able to pay off their debts.

So, how will the family live from now on? How will they manage to get by?

In the evening, Nan Sun returned home with red eyes. When she saw Li Mu, she buried her face in his arms and sobbed. She looked extremely aggrieved.

After finding out the reason, Li Mu comforted him, "Don't be sad. It's better to know sooner rather than later. The house hasn't been sold yet, so there's still room for maneuver."

Jiang Nansun said dejectedly, "But Ye Jinyan only offered 54 million because of my aunt. That's not even enough to pay off the debt. That's already the highest offer."

"Right now, with so many debt collectors pressing us from behind, we simply don't have time to waste. Where are we going to find someone who offers a higher price?"

Li Mu kissed her on the cheek: "Alright, I'm still here! Your little villa is actually quite nice. It's in a good location, quite spacious, and even has a small garden."

"If it weren't for the time constraints and the fact that the shares were pledged, and if we had enough patience, selling them for 60 to 70 million wouldn't be a problem."

"How about this, I'll take over your house, the price is 60 million, what do you think?"

Jiang Nansun was stunned for a moment, not expecting that Li Mu actually wanted to buy the house and offered such a high price. After a long while, he said, "Sixty million is too much. We can't take advantage of you. Ye Jinyan only asked for fifty-four million."

Li Mu said, “I’m not exactly getting a bargain. Your villa is indeed quite nice. If the market is good, it could be worth 70 million. If the property prices continue to rise in the next two years, it could even be worth over 100 million. Buying it for 60 million is a good deal.”

Jiang Nansun knew that Li Mu was deliberately trying to comfort her. Given her family's situation and the urgent need to sell the house, how could the price be determined according to the market value?

“But Ye Jinyan’s highest bid was only 54 million, and you’ve added so much.”

Li Mu put his arm around her soft waist and said, "Isn't it good to offer a higher price? After paying off the debt, the remaining money can support the family or make a down payment on a house, so that your aunt and uncle will have a place to live in the future."

Seeing Nan Sun's embarrassed expression, Li Mu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "If you think my price is too high, the extra can be considered as a bride price for your family."

Nan Sun's face instantly turned bright red. She blushed shyly at Li Mu and buried her head in his chest.

After a long pause, she said, "Thank you, Jiaming, thank you for being so kind to me."

Li Mu kissed her: "Don't say that. It's only right that I treat you well! We're family now, so don't be so polite with me."

Nan Sun nodded vigorously, feeling both sweet and touched. She wanted to repay him properly. However, the thought of her boyfriend's formidable abilities made her nervous; what if she couldn't handle it?

Before I knew it, Suo Suo's image reappeared in my mind, and that thought rose in my heart again.

She already felt guilty towards Suo Suo, feeling that she owed her something, and if there was a way to make amends, she would definitely try.

Then...

Thinking of this, her face turned even redder.

Li Mu didn't pay attention to these things and instructed, "Tomorrow, inform Ye Jinyan and those potential clients about my offer of 60 million and see if they are willing to continue bidding."

"If there's no offer higher than 60 million, don't delay any longer, just sign the contract. Pay off the debt and get rid of the creditors."

Nan Sun nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

The total price is 60 million. After deducting the 11 million that Li Mu had previously advanced to buy two rooms on the second floor, he still needs to pay 49 million.

Paying off all debts will require approximately 46 million, leaving about 3 million in funds.

If you don't choose a prime location, even a slightly out-of-the-way one, three million can still cover the down payment for a house, ensuring your family has a place to live in the future.

This is already the best-case scenario that Nan Sun could envision.

Chapter 219 Small Building

The Jiang family was naturally delighted with Li Mu's offer of 60 million, and Ye Jinyan did not raise the price further, perhaps because it was already a bit of a bargain for him.

After the transaction was completed, Li Mu paid 49 million yuan for the house, and the Jiang family began to pay off bank loans and various debts.

The 2.3 million that Li Mu had initially advanced was returned thanks to Nan Sun's insistence.

After paying off all the debts, there were still about three million yuan left. The family couldn't live without a house. They couldn't afford to buy one in the city center, so they could only find a place in a slightly out-of-town area and make a down payment on one.

They started looking for a house everywhere.

After going through such a turmoil, Nan Sun finally heard some good news recently: she was finally admitted to Professor Dong's doctoral program.

Li Mu celebrated with her, and at the same time, all the paperwork for the small villa on Fuxing Street was completed. Nan Sun accompanied Li Mu back home.

Although the Jiang family had moved out less than a month ago, the thought that the house had already been sold still filled Nan Sun with many emotions, and her expression was somewhat somber.

Li Mu noticed that she was in a bad mood and asked, "What's wrong? You just got accepted into the doctoral program, and you're already so unhappy?"

Nan Sun carefully examined her former home. Every table, chair, bed, and cabinet was familiar, yet it no longer belonged to the Jiang family.

He sighed and said, "It's nothing. I grew up here, and more than 20 years of feelings and memories have been sold off like this. I feel a little uncomfortable."

Li Mu stepped forward and put his arm around her, saying, "What's wrong with that? What's mine is yours. From now on, won't this place be our home?"

Seeing that her complexion had improved a lot, Li Mu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "We need to work harder in the future. When we have a child, I'll transfer this house to the child's name."

Jiang Nansun blushed slightly and glared at Li Mu: "Who wants to have your child?"

Li Mu kissed her cheek: "Besides Princess Jiang, who else could it be!"

Nan Sun's face turned even redder: "You rascal..."

Li Mu picked her up and said with a wicked smile, "Since you say I'm a hooligan, then today I have to do what a hooligan should do. Come on... let's go to your boudoir and have a good chat, so I can show you whether I'm a hooligan or not."

Nan Sun struggled symbolically for a few moments, then watched helplessly as Li Mu carried her into the boudoir and placed her on the bed she had slept on for many years.

Since I only brought some commonly used items with me when I moved, the bedding was all there... The atmosphere in the room instantly became warm and cozy, filled with spring sunshine.

……

When everything was over, Nan Sun lay in Li Mu's arms, her face flushed, exuding charm.

Li Mu gently stroked her smooth skin with one hand and whispered in her ear, "You did well today, keep up the good work."

Nan Sun blushed and pinched him: "You rascal."

Li Mu grinned wickedly, "Little lady seems to still have some energy today. Shall I be a little more of a rogue?"

Nan Sun immediately felt guilty.

"No, I don't want it anymore, go find someone else..."

Li Mu said, "You said it yourself. I'll find someone else to warm my bed another day."
