Chapter 89: Side Story (1)

Madam Kim wanted to bring Lisa along to look at a house. It was only at this time that Lisa found out Jungkook had already asked his mother to help look for a marriage home. She was rather moved, and when she actually saw the house, she was also extremely surprised.

"A, a villa?"

"Yes, Kookie specifically told me that he wanted a villa with a swimming pool," said Madam Kim, glancing at her with a half-smile.

"Cough." Lisa felt a little embarrassed.

This was an upscale villa within a high-end neighbourhood in the suburbs. It wasn't too far from Jungkook's training base, and it was close to a highway so travelling would be very convenient. The previous owner had loss everything from trading in stocks but refused to declare bankruptcy. Now that his company required funds, he had no choice but to sell this property. As he needed the money urgently, the quoted price was very reasonable... with the condition that payment had to be in cash.

The villa was a bungalow with a flower garden, and the two-storey building took up nearly 500 square metres. The basement contained a home theatre and a swimming pool, and there was a sauna room next to the swimming pool. The pool was 12 by 3 metres and was designed beautifully. Both ends were rounded so the entire pool was shaped like a little race track. The walls of the pool were blue, so once the pool was filled with water, it would look like a blue ocean.

There was a shower area by the pool with just a simple shower head starkly protruding from the wall, nothing at all to provide cover around it.

Lisa looked at this luxurious and beautiful pool and the sight was automatically converted into heaps and heaps of money. She gulped and asked the realtor, "How much does this house cost?"

The realtor smiled and said, "18 million."

Lisa's voice quavered. "S-so expensive?"

"This is already the cheapest. If you can't pay in cash, the owner wouldn't sell it even if you offer 20 million."

Auntie Kim kept finding fault. "Why is the pool so dirty? And these designs are horrendous... these equipment must have been in use for almost 10 years, right? Are you planning to use it for a lifetime? The location is also not very good. Well, the flower garden is nice, but what kind of trees have you planted in it? Jujube trees! Although jujubes are very good for replenishing blood, I must stress that jujube trees are very ugly! ... What? Giving us the furniture? Who wants your furniture? Baroque furniture is everywhere these days. You think I can't afford to buy my own mahogany?"

The realtor began to sweat and he started to explain, but Madam Kim waved an imperious hand and ignored him. She pulled Lisa by the arm and said, "Forget it. Let's continue looking."

The agent's phone rang, and he went off to the side to answer it.

Lisa whispered to Auntie Lu, "Auntie, let's not buy this if you don't like it. I also think that it's too expensive..."

Auntie Kim smiled. "Who said I don't like it? You can't lose buying this house. Even if you don't want it after this, you can sell it out again after a while to earn money. Consider it an investment."

Lisa gaped. "Then, you, just now...?"

"Are you stupid? I'm trying to bargain and lower the price."

Lisa also knew that belittling the seller was a way to lower prices, but this was the first time she saw such a convincing performance... She considered it for a moment and then said, "That, auntie, do you have enough money?"

"It's fine. Kookie is a mega-star now. I just need to squeeze him a little and there'll be enough money."

At this point, Lisa couldn't help but recall the grand occasion of Jungkook's return to China the other day. She just happened to be on the same flight as he was. She almost couldn't bear to think back on the sea of fans and reporters waiting outside back then. There were also reporters looking for her within the crowd; luckily, she had gotten a heads up and had disguised herself well.
