Chapter 208 New Home
"What's the matter, Brother Rushong?" Seeing An Rushong put down his phone, Jin Mingxin asked with concern.
After all, An Rushong was answering the phone right across from her. Although she couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the line said, she could tell from the few words An Rushong said that the man on the other end seemed to have been attacked. At the same time, the person who attacked him was found, and it seemed that someone wanted to compensate him or something.
Jin Mingxin has always longed for a colorful life. In her opinion, her life is absolutely dull and lacks color. But the man opposite her is not only rich, humorous and elegant, but his life also seems so colorful. It's great.
That's right, this woman not only didn't feel that being attacked was dangerous, but she thought it was exciting and wonderful. To put it bluntly, she herself had not experienced that kind of risk, so she felt that things she had not experienced were exciting and wonderful. But if she were the one being attacked, she probably wouldn't think so.
An Rusong saw through the woman's mentality at a glance. This woman was extremely vain and yearned for the life of the upper class. Perhaps in her mind, she was living the life of the upper class, and being attacked was also a part of this life.
"Oh, nothing," An Rushong said lightly at first, and then he briefly recounted the attack he had suffered a few days ago, using a description that was 70% true and 30% false.
While he was telling the story, Jin Mingxin kept covering his mouth with a nervous and worried expression, but his twinkling eyes were full of excitement.
After she finished her story, Jin Mingxin excitedly asked a few more questions, and An Rushong patiently answered them one by one.
"So, are you really going to take over that house next?" Jin Mingxin asked across the dining table with an eager look on his face.
"I can't refuse this," An Rusong picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said, "Like I said, I can't be the only one compensated by President Jian. My friend should have received some compensation as well. If I don't accept this house, do I have to ask my friend to return it to him? If he returns it, does my friend have to apologize to the other party? If so, things will become complicated."
Jin Mingxin didn't know if she understood something, she nodded thoughtfully.
An Rushong picked up the towel on his legs, wiped his hands, and placed it next to the dining table.
"Are we going over now?" Jin Mingxin saw his actions, picked up the towel and asked at the same time.
"Have you finished your meal?" An Rushong asked caringly.
Jin Mingxin nodded as a response.
"Then I'll go there now. After all, the lawyer arranged by my friend is still waiting there," An Rushong said with a sigh.
Then he extended the invitation, saying, "Do you want to come with me?"
"Is it convenient?" Jin Mingxin looked eager to try.
"It's not inconvenient at all," An Rusong said with a smile, "It's my honor."
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers to call the waiter over. Then he stood up from his chair, walked around to the opposite side, held Jin Mingxin's hand, and helped her up politely.
After swiping the card to pay the bill, An Rushong took the windbreaker brought back by the waiter and put it on Jin Mingxin's shoulders. Then he naturally held the woman's hand, put her arm in his arm, and walked out the door with her side by side.
Namhyeon-dong is located in Gwanak-gu, adjacent to Bangbae-dong in Seocho-gu. In other words, it is not far from the villa that An Rusong bought from Luo Quanyi.
In An Rusong's previous life, the area around Namhyeon-dong was similar to Eunpyeong District. Because it was close to Gwanak Mountain and had beautiful surrounding scenery, a large number of high-end residential areas were built, making it a relatively densely populated area.
The "Zhouhu Residence" mentioned by Jiang Yiyu on the phone is actually a high-end residential area. It is close to the foot of Gwanak Mountain. Walking south from the residential area, it is less than 500 meters to the foot of Gwanak Mountain. Therefore, the location is very good.
The most important thing is that this Zhouhu residence was only completed two years ago. It is estimated that it took Jian Yuzhen a year to buy this house and renovate it. In other words, this house is as good as new.
This house in Jianyu Town is on the top floor of Building 13 in the residential area. The area of the house is not very large, only 270 square meters, but this guy also bought the rooftop and built a small private garden on it. From the terrace of the garden, you can overlook the scenery of Guanyue Mountain.
An Rusong drove to Zhouhu Residence and called the lawyer arranged by Jiang Yiyu. The lawyer came to the entrance of the residential area to pick him up, and then took him to see the house. The house was decorated very exquisitely, and all the furnishings inside were ready-made and brand new. The refrigerator in the kitchen was even empty, and the protective film on the outside of the refrigerator had not been torn off.
An Rusong didn't know the real estate prices in Gwanak District, but he estimated that if he wanted to buy this house, it would take more than a billion won.
An Rushong got a house for free, and it was forced upon him by Jiang Yiyu. Naturally, he had no reason to refuse. In the living room of the house, he carefully read the series of agreement documents provided by the lawyer, and after making sure there were no problems, he signed his name on them.
Now, this house cannot be considered his yet. The lawyer still needs to handle a series of transfer procedures on his behalf, and he also has to pay taxes and so on. However, An Rushong does not need to worry about these things. The lawyer will take care of it for him.
After signing the agreement and sending the lawyer away, An Rusong returned to the living room, but he did not see Jin Mingxin. He went around the bedroom, bathroom, and even the cloakroom, and finally went up to the roof from the spiral staircase in the living room. He found that the woman had gone up to the small garden on the roof at some point, and was now standing by the guardrail, looking at the nearby Guanyue Mountain.
It is winter now, and the entire Gwanak Mountain is covered in gray and brown. Naturally, there is no scenery to speak of. However, what Kim Myung-shin is admiring now is obviously not a natural scenery, but a "humanistic scenery" that is separated from ordinary people.
"What are you looking at?" An Rushong walked over, stood close to her, and put one hand naturally on her waist.
"The scenery here must be very beautiful in spring," said Kim Myung-shin, pointing in the direction of Gwanak Mountain.
Then, she turned around and looked at the small rooftop garden. She said, "President Jian has put a lot of thought into this rooftop garden. Look at the layout here. Whether it's the nursery or the sunshade hall, or even the flower stand over there, they are all very well designed. When summer comes."
Having said that, she didn't know what she was thinking of. Her brows slightly frowned, as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed it back.
"What's wrong? Are you not satisfied with something?" An Rushong asked with a smile.
Jin Mingxin smiled and still said nothing, but An Rusong could guess what she was thinking. There was no doubt that this woman liked this house very much, especially the small garden on the roof. Perhaps she had some ideas on how to decorate this small garden, but unfortunately, this house did not belong to her. The reason why she only said half of what she said just now was because she realized this problem.
"If there's anything you're not satisfied with, you can raise it and I'll arrange for someone to revise it later," An Rushong said, putting his arm around her waist.
"That won't work," Jin Mingxin shook his head and said, "Everyone's aesthetic taste is different. The layout I like may not be to your liking."
"It doesn't matter," An Rusong shrugged and said, "I won't live in this place anyway."
Jin Mingxin seemed to realize something. She suddenly turned her head and looked at him with a pair of bright eyes.
An Rusong smiled at her, then held her in his arms and walked towards the stairs, saying, "After a while, my company will move to Enping District. It's too far from here. I can't go across half of Seoul to work every day, right? So, if nothing unexpected happens, this place will have to be left idle."
Jin Mingxin wanted to say, you can rent it out, but thinking of the other party's identity, he felt that this question was a bit silly, after all, he didn't need the rent at all. As for selling such a good house, it would be a pity to sell it in the current situation where real estate prices are generally falling.
"So, since you like this place, just move in," they said as they walked into the stairwell. An Rushong half-turned his body, took Jin Mingxin's hand, and protected her as she walked down the spiral staircase.
Although she had a premonition, when An Rushong said this, Jin Mingxin still felt her heart twitch, and she couldn't help but squeeze the hand in An Rushong's palm tightly. Just when she wanted to say something, her foot did not step firmly on the next step, and she lost her balance.
"Ah!" She screamed subconsciously, and at the same time leaned forward and fell down the spiral staircase.
Fortunately, An Rushong was walking in front of her, and was originally leaning sideways. When he saw her lose her balance, he reacted immediately, grabbed her waist in time, and pulled her into his arms.
Being held in An Rushong's arms, Jin Mingxin breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she supported An Rushong's shoulders with both hands and wanted to get out of his arms, she felt that the other party's arms around her waist were obviously exerting some strength. At the same time, the two eyes staring at her face were so hot that they seemed to be real.
At this moment, her already fast heart rate seemed to speed up even more. However, she did not panic at all. Instead, she felt a little secretly happy. Perhaps, this moment was what she had been expecting.
