Chapter 534 - "Should we talk about betrothal gifts?" (2)

Nevertheless, when Gu Wushuang went chicly to the airport and all set to head to the manor in France with Raymond, he never showed. She received a message from Raymond after a long while, having her to go on her own.

She felt that something was off and said she would wait for him at the airport.

That turned into a week-long wait.

It took 3 days time for her team of assistants that she had sent out ahead of time to check out the place in France to get back to her.

Boss Wushuang, there is a manor but the land was barren and worth 1 million franc.

Gu Wushuang almost fainted.

Both the manor and the machineries are in disrepair.

You will probably need to do a lot of repair work if you want to make it operational again. We estimation it would cost over 1 million franc to bring them to operating state.

Such was the unique situation in the west.

Many castles appeared to be spectacular and sacred from the outside but their dcors, pipes and electrical conduits were all aged. Anyone who wanted to move into them would have to spend a large sum of money to first bring everything up to date. The property tax would also be hefty should one want to have the title transferred.

There was fire burning in Gu Wushuangs heart. She felt like she could breathe fire right now.

What about the vineyard? I thought they sell their products to the royalty?

Ugh their operations had been shut down a while back due to quality issues.

What about my two mansions?!

Those are there and are move-in ready.

Gu Wushuang let out a sigh of relief. The two mansions combined added up to over ten million.

However, their actual values are a little different than what we have expected.

Gu Wushuang almost stopped breathing.

Investments overseas were under strict regulations in China.

Anyone wanting to exchange for over 50,000 in foreign currency would need to report it, let along buying houses overseas.

She purchased those two places through an agency through some special channels. In short, they took advantages of current loopholes and was not protected under China laws.

Wheres Raymond?!

Ugh Boss Wushuang, we went to meet up with Mr. Raymond at K Oil Company, but he isnt the same person that you introduced to us before

Gu Wushuang finally collapsed onto the floor with her phone in hand.

Inside the Jingting Mansion.

Hes a conman. An upscale one.

They specifically target upper class ignorant women. These people cant even read France and could barely read English. How do they dare to contracts involve such huge amounts?

Huo ChuChu went on and on and looking happy from the melon-eating.

Gu Wushuang looks to be very smart. Even she fell for it.

Qin Ruhai, leaning half way onto the couch while holding an unlit cigarette, tabbed his watch and smiled at the solemn looking man across from him.

Conmen are very smart nowadays. They can speak French and they have good knowledge of the loopholes in real estate work both domestically and overseas

Huo Sishen looked very calmly as though none of these concerned him.

Huo ChuChu, on the other hand, was so happy that she couldnt stop herself, Exactly. From her team of lawyers to the agency that she used, all of them were referred to her by Raymond. She thought she had all areas covered and even looked into him. In the end, he was the one in control all along.

Qin Ruhai smiled. All men are scary. Chuchu, you need to be careful in the future.

Huo ChuChu hasnt even said a word yet when Huo Sishen gave her a cold look.

Gu Shishi, who had just helped her little son wiped his mouth, looked up, a bit bothered. I heard those two mansions were given to her from the Zhang family. If they are problematic, that means the Zhang family too

This time, Huo ChuChu chuckled wickedly.

Now that she had taken over the family business, she was quite aware of all the nooks and crannies in their circle.

Sister-in-law, do you have any idea what transportation business in the capital city was 100 years ago? It was escort services. The business that takes advantages of both the good and bad guys in wuxia novels!

Gu Shishis mouth dropped open and remained open for a long time.
