Chapter 226: Xia Wan’s Change in Att.i.tude
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Zhou Chen was a little confused by Xia Wan’s words.
The person who had always fawned over him was actually being cold to him?
“Xia Wan, do you know what you’re saying?” Zhou Chen’s face became stony as he barked at Xia Wan.
Xia Wan looked straight at him. “Of course I do. My head’s not muddled.”
“Alright, alright. You said it yourself. Don’t regret it.” Zhou Chen said gloomily.
“Naturally.” Xia Wan replied with unyielding confidence, devoid of any reluctance.
“Song Zhi, let’s go. She’s not worth our time,” Zhou Chen said to Song Zhi and left first.
After Zhou Chen and Song Zhi left, Han Xuan looked at Xia Wan and asked, “Sister Xia Wan, what those two said just now was true? Did you like that man in the past?”
Xia Wan nodded. “I used to have poor eyesight.”
“You don’t like him now, do you?” Han Xuan asked again.
Xia Wan replied, “Of course. You all saw his att.i.tude towards me just now. If he really cared about me, why would he let Song Zhi humiliate me? If he had even a little bit of gentlemanly demeanor, he wouldn’t have stood by and watched from the sidelines to this extent.”
Han Xuan nodded with a gratified look in his eyes. “It’s a good thing that you’re clear-headed now, Sister Xia Wan. However, that man is indeed quite good-looking. He’s just a little lacking compared to me. However, Sister Xia Wan, you’re so capable. It’s definitely your loss if he doesn’t like you.
“Sister Xia Wan, you should focus on your studies now. I know many young talents. When the time comes, I can introduce you to good men.”
Xia Wan felt a little helpless. What was Han Xuan thinking?
“Alright, let’s not talk about them anymore. I’m quite satisfied with this shop. Tell me, how much is the rent if we take it?” Xia Wan changed the topic and did not intend to continue investigating Zhou Chen’s matter with Han Xuan.
When it came to the serious matter, Han Xuan stopped smiling and gestured with his hand. “One month’s rent, one thousand.”
Xia Feng’s eyes widened. A month’s rent was a thousand yuan! Although their family was making a lot of money from selling clothes every day, the 1,000 yuan would be wasted. If they didn’t rent this shop, they wouldn’t have needed to spend this money at all.
Xia Wan didn’t say anything immediately. Han Xuan said, “When we rented out our shop, my mother said that it would be 1,500 yuan a month. Since you want it, I’ll make the decision on my mother’s behalf. 1,000 yuan. If you have no problems, we’ll sign the contract. As for the money, you can pay it monthly so that you won’t feel pressured.”
Xia Wan said directly, “There’s no need. Just pay for a year. We’ll sign the contract, but I want to renovate this shop. Is that okay?”
Han Xuan readily agreed, “No problem. We’re happy that you’re willing to renovate.”
When it came to signing the contract, Han Xuan brought the two of them home. At that time, his mother was applying a mask.
Seeing that it was Xia Wan, Mrs. Han welcomed her happily. “Wanwan, you’re here. Why didn’t you tell me in advance? Have a seat first. I’ll cut some fruits for you.”
Xia Wan stopped her. “No need, Auntie. We’re here because we want to rent your shop.”
Mrs. Han was a little surprised. “A shop? What shop?”
Han Xuan felt a little helpless and helped to explain, “Mom, it’s our shop on the street in front. Someone wanted it before this, but you felt that the person didn’t give you a good feeling, so you didn’t let it out. Today, I brought Xia Wan and the others to take a look. They were very satisfied and wanted the s.p.a.ce to sell clothes. They’ll use the second floor for martial arts cla.s.ses.”
Mrs. Han’s face immediately lit up. “Wanwan, so you want to run a business. You should have said so earlier. I would’ve let this shop out to you a long time ago. The rent is negotiable. You just have to pay as you see fit.”
As she spoke, Mrs. Han looked at Han Xuan. “Have you already discussed the price with Wanwan? How much did you say? I’m warning you, don’t ask Wanwan for a ridiculous price. Otherwise, I won’t let you off.”
Han Xuan smiled. “How is that possible? I negotiated with Sister Xia Wan for
1,000 yuan a month.”
Mrs. Han nodded. “That’s a fair amount. A thousand yuan isn’t asking for too much. ”
“Wanwan, there’s no hurry. You just have to pay each month. If you happen to be short of money, you can just pay the following month..”
