Inside the house.
When Xian Enjing heard Lin Xiuyuan's inexplicable answer, she didn't react for a while, and subconsciously looked at Park Hyomin, who was also confused next to her, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, Hyomin? What were you two chatting about just now? Why didn't I understand."
Seeing Xian Enjing ask, Park Hyomin honestly repeated the topic Lin Xiuyuan asked her just now, as well as her own answer, exactly as it was.
And after listening to Park Hyomin's explanation, Xian Enjing immediately widened her eyes, looked at the other party in disbelief, and even raised her volume subconsciously, "Wait a minute, Hyomin, do you mean you can scrape together the house payment here???"
"Just the down payment, should————be okay, right?"
Park Hyomin was made somewhat uncertain by Xian Enjing's intense reaction, frowning slightly and calculating, "I remember the down payment ratio for foreigners buying houses in Tokyo seems to be at least 30% or more? This number, if I squeeze it, should still be able to be taken out————"
Saying this, she looked at Xian Enjing's still shocked expression, suddenly reacted, and also increased her volume, adding with a tone of laughter and tears.
"What is it, Enjing! You wouldn't think I was talking about the full payment just now, would you??? Please, if I buy this with full payment, then you might as well sell me, see if I can be sold for a few hundred US dollars."
After clarifying the huge misunderstanding, Xian Enjing also turned her head with a bit of laughter and tears to look at Lin Xiuyuan, who was touching his nose, his expression a bit subtle.
She couldn't help but say, "After all this, it's not just me who misunderstood, it turns out you also misunderstood, Xiuyuan, you thought Hyomin was talking about full payment?"
Exposed by Xian Enjing to his face, Lin Xiuyuan sniffed his nose somewhat awkwardly, looked at Park Hyomin, his tone carrying a rare sheepishness, "Ah, yes, I thought she was talking about full payment, thinking that little rich woman Hyomin was hiding quite deep."
"Heh." Park Hyomin gave him two cold, meaningful laughs, too lazy to keep dwelling on this blunder.
Then she cast her gaze back to this house that made her heart move, looked around at its unique design and quiet environment, and took the initiative to change the topic, trying to ease the embarrassment just now.
"But having said that, this place is indeed better than the ones we saw before, regardless of design or style.
And the surrounding is a community that is quiet in the middle of the noise, privacy and livability look very good————"
"It's just a bit expensive." Xian Enjing followed up at the right time, pointing out the core problem.
Park Hyomin nodded in deep agreement, "Indeed, even if the price is not very beautiful."
Just at this time, Goo Hara, who had carefully looked around the first-floor living room and backyard, returned to the side of the group.
With a satisfied smile on her face, she looked directly at Lin Xiuyuan and asked softly, "How about it, Xiuyuan, do you like it here?"
Lin Xiuyuan, who was asked, didn't pick or be vague like before this time, but nodded frankly, admitting his appreciation for this property.
"It's okay, although the layout and area can't compare to that villa in Seoul, the sense of design and location are quite good, enough to be a foothold."
Everyone present, except for Park Hyomin who was still confused, instantly understood what the "villa in Seoul" mentioned in Lin Xiuyuan's words referred to.
Naturally, it was the luxury villa in 2025 that possessed the Time Gate and served as the core base for everyone.
Thinking of the scale and function of that villa, and then comparing it with the one in front of them, Goo Hara and the others couldn't help but smile knowingly.
Park Jiyeon, who followed behind, couldn't help but complain, "Oppa, it's too much for you to compare it with that villa, that's not on the same level at all, but this one is already quite good."
Park Hyomin, upon hearing this, keenly caught the key information, immediately looked at Lin Xiuyuan in shock and blurted out, "Xiuyuan, you still have a villa in Seoul?? Where is it??"
Lin Xiuyuan, who glanced at the other party, had an unfathomable smile on his face, and dealt with it vaguely, "Hmm, I do have one. As for where it is, I'll take you to play when I have time, now let's talk about this one first."
He lightly pulled the topic back and looked at Xian Enjing, "By the way, Enjing, there should still be room for bargaining with such a high price, right? Although I have money, I can't be a sucker."
Xian Enjing nodded, "It can definitely be negotiated, but we must first clearly express that we like it, express the intention to buy, and then slowly grind the price with the landlord and the agent, after all, a transaction of several million US dollars, no one can easily make concessions."
As Xian Enjing emphasized this price again, Goo Hara immediately followed, her soft tone becoming a bit more determined.
"Since Xiuyuan thinks it's OK, let's decide on this one. Running around is also troublesome, I think this one is the best one we've seen so far, even if it's an investment, it's a steady profit without loss."
"Is it full payment or————?" Xian Enjing looked at everyone, consulting the payment method.
At this time, Goo Hara spoke again, her calm tone carrying an unquestionable force, "Unni, I'll buy this house myself, you don't need to worry about the funds."
Once these words came out, Park Hyomin, who had vaguely felt something was wrong since the ramen restaurant but had been holding back and not asking, was completely dumbfounded.
She looked at Goo Hara, then at Lin Xiuyuan, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Hara, wait, wait a minute.
Didn't you say before that Xiuyuan was going to buy a house? How, how did it become you buying it now???"
Hearing this, Goo Hara turned her head and said with a very calm tone the most hard-hitting answer, and also the one that made Park Hyomin's worldview tremble the most.
"It's okay, unni, I'll buy it and give it to Xiuyuan, it's the same."
Park Hyomin: "!!!!!!!!!!"
The other party's words made her turn her head to look at Lin Xiuyuan, only to see this man still looking calm, even carrying a bit of a cheap, smiling expression.
Standing there quietly, enjoying this bowl of soft rice that was smashed down from the sky and had an excessive hardness.
Looking at all these scenes, Park Hyomin only felt the world spinning, a bit unable to distinguish whether this was reality or an outrageous dream she had after not sleeping well last night.
Is this really not a dream?
What an outrageous reality plot!!!
Where is there a female idol who casually gives a male friend a property worth several million US dollars?!
Just as Park Hyomin was screaming wildly in her heart, Sulli suddenly remembered something and asked with a bit of concern, "But Hara unni, didn't you just buy a high-end apartment in Cheongdam-dong with full payment last year?
Is the liquid fund enough now? This is several million US dollars, not a small amount."
As a close friend, Sulli roughly knew Goo Hara's financial situation.
Before, her share was owed by their company for a long time, and her income only started to increase greatly after coming to Nihon to develop, but that property in Cheongdam-dong last year did indeed cost a lot.
To this, Goo Hara just waved her hand casually, her face still a calm smile.
"If paying in full, it's indeed a bit difficult at the current stage, but a loan is no problem. Didn't Hyomin unni just say it, 30% down payment, at most 50%, I can still take out this amount of cash."
Although it's a bit troublesome, fortunately, the settlement time is also coming soon, and it's the settlement on the overseas side.
This is written into the contract, and can slightly bypass the company.
So the difficulty is not great.
Looking at Goo Hara's calm expression, Park Hyomin's heart next to her was already scratching the wall wildly.
She really wanted to grab Goo Hara's shoulders and shake them, and ask the other party loudly: 【Why? Hara, why are you willing to spend money like this on a man? Is he your boyfriend? Or did you get caught by him with some murder handle??】
But in the end, these words were all stifled in her throat, and she couldn't ask a single word.
She was just shocked and stood still by these successive impacts, opening her beautiful little mouth, her face full of the confused expression of "Who am I? Where am I? What happened?"
At this time, Lin Xiuyuan finally spoke, looked at Goo Hara and lifted his head slightly, "Since Hara you are paying, then the house will be directly under your name. It must be much simpler and easier for you to apply for a loan than me, and I'm too lazy to toss about those cumbersome procedures."
Goo Hara, upon hearing Lin Xiuyuan's words, only then did a clear emotional fluctuation appear on her beautiful face that had been keeping calm.
Quickly said, "Ah? You don't need to run for this, Xiuyuan. At that time, all procedures can be entrusted to the agent to handle, or if you feel that carrying a loan is troublesome, then I will find a bank to do a bridge financing, lend the money out at once, and we can pay it off directly, it really doesn't matter."
If Park Hyomin was just shocked and dumbfounded before, then at this moment, hearing Goo Hara's even more astonishing heaven-defying statement.
She was truly, really, stupid!
No————this————is this something a carbon-based organism can say??
This is no longer eating soft rice, this is directly stuffing the soft rice into the mouth and having to chew it and feed it down, right??
But soon, the scene that made her even more sluggish and almost petrified on the spot appeared.
She saw Park Jiyeon and Xian Enjing next to her look at each other, and actually also opened their mouths naturally to join the "crowdfunding."
"Crowdfunding."
Park Jiyeon, "It's okay, Hara unni, if the cash pressure is high, we can scrape together, it should be able to be paid in full directly, no need for you to carry so many loans alone."
Xian Enjing also nodded in echo, "Yes, Hara. Since Xiuyuan and everyone like it, let's buy it together. Share it, the pressure will be much smaller."
Even Sulli blinked and nodded, "My drama also earned a lot, I can contribute."
Park Hyomin: "————"
Looking at this group of women who are usually smarter than the other, and have been struggling in the entertainment industry for many years, at this moment, actually discussing how to "crowdfund" the full payment of several million US dollars to buy a house for a man————
Park Hyomin only felt that her worldview was completely subverted, crushed, and then scattered with the wind at this moment.
And she began to seriously suspect whether Lin Xiuyuan had cast some kind of curse on all of them————
Or, was she actually the one who hadn't woken up yet??
Thinking of this unbelievable scene, Park Hyomin subconsciously reached out and pinched her arm very hard.
"Hiss————"
The clear pain came instantly, making her grin and take a deep breath.
Not a dream.
And Lin Xiuyuan next to her looked at Xian Enjing, Park Jiyeon, and Sulli discussing one sentence after another, and suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt them.
"No, why are you paying in full? No need, just take a loan."
Then he started calculating for them, "According to the current loan interest rate and inflation level in Japan, the cash in hand, its investment appreciation speed is likely to be able to outperform the loan interest. When you are more affluent later, or feel it's not cost-effective, it's not too late to consider paying off the loan at once. At the current stage, a loan is a more cost-effective choice with higher capital utilization efficiency."
Following Lin Xiuyuan's opening, Goo Hara also agreed with his statement, "Then let's take a loan as Xiuyuan said."
After stating her position, she then looked at Xian Enjing, "Enjing unni, please consult the agent in detail about the specific process and optimal plan for the loan. At that time, I will come forward to apply and pay."
As she spoke, her gaze turned to Lin Xiuyuan again.
Her eyes carried a persistence that could not be refused, and even a trace of imperceptible reproach, as if she didn't like his answer that seemed a bit distant just now, "Xiuyuan, don't worry about these trivial matters, anyway the property is under your name, I will handle the rest, okay?"
Because in Goo Hara's view at this moment, these worldly possessions like money, you can't bring them when you are born and can't take them when you die, so spend it if you should, be chic if you should.
Especially after facing that huge psychological impact yesterday, she felt even more that grasping the present and paying for the people and things she cared about was far more important than guarding cold numbers.
Lest like that situation in the future, leaving a pile of messes after death.
Even the inheritance was fought over, making it a mess.
This thought flashed like a ghost, making Goo Hara's whole aura suddenly gloomy and low.
The bright mood that had just risen because of finding the favorite property was instantly covered by the haze in her memory.
Sulli, who had been paying attention to her emotions, saw this and immediately gave Park Jiyeon a look.
Park Jiyeon, who understood, walked up, wrapped her arms around Goo Hara's arms from left and right, half-coaxing and half-supporting her, pulling her to the corner of the house to rest, trying to divert her attention.
Xian Enjing, who saw this situation, took a deep breath, turned and walked toward the agent who was waiting not far away, and began to communicate and negotiate in depth about specific matters such as price and loans.
In the blink of an eye, the lively discussion circle was left with only Lin Xiuyuan and Park Hyomin, who was still in a huge cognitive shock, standing in place.
As the space quieted down, the faint sound of rain outside also drifted into the ears of the two.
At the same time, Park Hyomin's gaze slowly withdrew from Goo Hara's back, which was pulled away, and moved to the face of this man beside her who was calm and composed, as if the scene just now had nothing to do with him.
After that, she was silent for a full ten seconds, as if trying her best to digest and organize the information that was completely beyond her understanding range received in these short ten minutes.
Finally, after a while, she raised her head.
Those beautiful eyes were full of extreme confusion, as well as indescribable vigilance.
She asked dryly, word by word, "Xiuyuan————"
"Hmm?
"
"What kind of person are you?"
Lin Xiuyuan pointed at himself, and seeing Park Hyomin nod, he grinned, "As you can see, I'm a soft-rice eater." ===== CHAPTER 307 =====
