Qin Ce had no expression, but after hearing her words, his eyes were a little subtle.
He stared at her with a smile, as if he was watching her self-directed performance.
A moment later, Qin Cecai asked with a slight sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Are you short of money?"
His eyes made Qiao Xing a little embarrassed. She also felt that the lion had opened her mouth and hurriedly changed his words. "Of course, if you think it's too much, 200,000 yuan is fine, but not less than 200,000 yuan."
200,000 yuan plus 200,000 yuan on Lin Yu's side, and she borrowed another 100,000 yuan, and the house could be bought.
"It's not outrageous to be 300,000 yuan, what about you? What's your dowry?" Qin Ce leaned behind the sofa and stared at her with an unpredictable expression.
"You can live in this house, or add your name. Anyway, it's close to Grandpa Qin's home, so we can take good care of him."
Qin Ce didn't speak in a hurry. He just stared at her, and time passed little by little between the two.
Qiao Xing has never had a blind date before, but he has never been so nervous. It's not like a blind date, it's just like a negotiation.
But only if they buy this house can they continue to live here, so his 200,000 yuan is crucial.
When he buys a house and adds his name, it is not a loss for him to pay 200,000 yuan.
I don't know. Qin Ce stood up, put his hands on his pockets, and looked at her condescendingly. "That's the decision. I can pay 300,000 yuan. As for my name, there is no need to add it."
Qiao Xing waved his hand repeatedly, "You don't need 300,000 yuan. You just need to give 200,000 yuan. I know it's definitely not easy for you."
Qin Ce looked at her sideways and did not bargain with her. "When will I get the certificate?"
Qiao Xing was stunned, "Huh? Are you in a hurry?"
"Anyway, it will be settled sooner or later. Why don't you get the certificate early while I'm free these two days?"
Qiao Xing was silent for a moment. He was so cheerful that he couldn't get a good time. "Well, when you transfer the money, we'll get the certificate right away."
Qin Ce didn't say much more. He nodded and said that the matter was settled, and left Qiao Xing's house.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Mr. Qin standing at the door, pulling the door and eavesdropping. The door opened coldly, and the old man almost fell down.
It was Qin Ce who quickly held his shoulder to prevent the old man from falling down.
"What are you doing here?"
The old man was a little embarrassed. He coughed and asked, "How's the conversation going?"
Qin Ce raised the corners of his mouth inexplicably, "Is this the girl you like?"
"Of course, what's the matter?" The old man frowned and couldn't hear what he meant.
Qin Ce didn't explain much. He helped the old man, "Let's talk about it when we go back."
Qiao Xing's mind was very deep, and he was completely incompatible with the simplicity and kindness of the old man's mouth. While coaxing the old man, she asked him for 300,000 yuan and didn't let him tell the old man.
The means are really clever.
Qin Ce didn't tell the old man about the dowry, but only told him that it was done. Looking at the old man's red smile, Qin Ce felt that it didn't matter to spend 200,000 yuan to buy the old man's happiness.
But he said to the master, "Don't make a big deal about marriage. I don't want to cause too much trouble."
The old man laughed halfway, and his face collapsed again. He was not happy, "Why? When you get married, you can't have a big banquet and let your relatives and friends come to have a wedding reception?"
After entering the room, Qin Ce closed the door and helped the old man to sit down on the sofa. He patiently explained, "The banquet can be held at any time. The key to marriage is to get a certificate. Besides, at least you have to give me some time to adapt to her and understand her.
In case we don't get divorced later, it's hard for her to get married again after holding a banquet with such a big fanfare. What do you think?"
"You bastard!" The old man punched him angrily. Although he used a lot of force, it was not painful to hit Qin Ce. "Before you get married, you are starting to think about divorce!"
Qin Ce said, "Anything can happen. If you like her, it doesn't mean that everyone has to like her, and I'm just saying just in case, not absolute. Your thinking is too complicated."
The old man listened to what he said, but he also began to think.
"That's okay. You should cultivate your relationship first. When you get used to her, we will have a banquet."
...
After Qin Ce left, Qiao Xing finished the glass of water he didn't drink in one breath. She didn't know whether her decision was right or not, but Qin Ce looked good.
Unlike Lin Yu, he is not as talkable and down-to-earth. If he can get 200,000 yuan, the house can be kept.
Before that, she didn't dare to think about it at all. She always felt that marriage was sacred and should not be linked to money.
Now she knows that what she thinks is too simple. This is a money-oriented society. Even if lovers are calculating, there is no simple love.
Qiao Xing didn't sleep all night. She tossed and turned in bed until the fish belly began to turn white outside.
She sighed and got out of bed as if she had accepted her fate. Today, Monday, she had to go to work.
Qiao Xing came out after washing up, and the mobile phone on the table rang. It was a message from Qin Ce who asked her for her bank card number.
Qiao Xing didn't hesitate to send the card number directly.
When she got on the bus, a transfer text message was sent to her mobile phone. Qiao Xing looked at the string of zeros, and finally realised that she seemed to have made a bad decision.
Qin Ce also sent her a transfer voucher on WeChat, and a sentence: At 2:30 p.m., bring your household registration book. See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau. The concise words directly determined the future of the two.
Qiao Xing's fingers trembled slightly. She suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and typed: OK.
After getting the money, Qiao Xing immediately called her uncle, but no one answered the phone. It was estimated that she was at work, so she had to give up.
Qiao Xing's job, except for the busy at the beginning of the month and the end of the month, the rest of the time is quite idle, so when she is free, she will also secretly do some part-time jobs online and write some short scripts and copywriting for others.
When it's good in a month, she can also earn five or six thousand yuan, but it's almost one or two thousand yuan. That's how she saved the 100,000 yuan.
The script received last week has been written, and she sent the manuscript after the morning meeting.
When she was about to get off work, she received a call from the front desk saying that Lin Yu had come to find her.
Lin Yu used to pick her up from work every day. Naturally, she knew her company. Qiao Xing didn't really want to see him, but she was afraid that he would make trouble in the company, so she still went.
She came to the front desk of the company. Lin Yu held a bouquet of roses and waited on the sofa in the lobby.
Seeing Qiao Xing coming out, he immediately came over with a rose in his hand, "Star."
"Let's go out and talk." Qiao Xing pulled him to the corridor outside the company, looked at him indifferently, and did not pick up his rose. "If you have anything to say, just say it here."
Lin Yu was a little embarrassed to hold the flower. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor. He took Qiao Xing's hand and whispered, "Are you still angry? Let's have a good chat again."
"What are you talking about?"
"I discussed it with my parents last night, and they also compromised. I wrote my name on the house, so you should be relieved, right?"
