Chapter 158 The New House
Karin took the pizza and asked, "Is it balanced after hearing the things I'm not happy about?"

Liang Xi said: "I will never spend [-] pounds to rent a house. I have already planned a program this weekend, and we will go to see the house together. The expensive one belongs to you, and the cheap one belongs to me."

Karin nodded and said, "You don't want to know why I came?"

Liang Xi blinked his eyes and thought for a while: "There are many answers, and I don't know which one you like."

"for example?"

Liang Xi said: "I feel that I want to see you."

"wrong."

Liang Xi said, "I like to see me eating pizza."

"Haha, no."

Liang Xi said, "I can't guess that you want to see me, can I?"

Karin grinned, this time the smile was unusual, not smiling, Liang Xi vaguely felt a little bad, Karin said: "Fiona call me, let me go and see you."

"..." Liang Xi reasoned: There were police detectives squatting outside the Clement Manor, and the blade secretly intervened in Bobby's assassination.After I got off the car at the detective agency, I stood on the side of the road in a daze for a while, and it was the waiter at the restaurant who greeted me before I came back to my senses.

Karin ate pizza: "She cares about you very much." Out of the corner of her eye, she scanned Liang Xi's expression.

Danger, danger!Liang Xi's brain is activated at full speed: sneaking into the warehouse, borrowing a knife to kill, invulnerable, stealing the sheep, spicy next door...

Karin added: "You care about her too."

Liang Xi picked up a piece of pizza steadily: "Pizza is enough." Liang Xi didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, so let's deal with it first.If she didn't understand her actions, then Karin certainly couldn't understand either.

This answer made Karin quite satisfied. She interpreted Liang Xi's meaning as: You are enough.Although he didn't explain anything to Fiona, it already showed that he cared more about himself.Karin didn't want to mention this matter with Liang Xi, she seemed petty and embarrassed.But Karin didn't expect that she would be very uncomfortable if she kept silent.

The two talked a lot, even black tea and pizza. Liang Xi has a lot of knowledge about black tea, and Karin has been to many countries and tasted tea from various countries. She has a great say.The same is true for pizza, which leads to the discussion of the cultures of various countries and the tastes of two people.It's a pity that Karin has to go to work tomorrow, and Liang Xi's proposal to watch a movie was rejected.After rejecting Liang Xi's proposal, Karin worried about Liang Xi's embarrassment, and proposed that she choose the program this weekend.

Liang Xi, who was stunned by love, naturally agreed.

The doorbell rang just as Karin was about to say goodbye.Liang Xi glanced at the cat's eyes and opened the door. It was Bobby's housekeeper Daisy: "Hello, Daisy, please come inside."

"Hello, Mr. Liang." Daisy saw Karin and apologized, "Did I bother you?"

Karin greeted: "No, please sit down."

Liang Xi introduced the two and invited Daisy to sit down.

Daisy took out something that looked like a car key from her satchel: "The evening before yesterday, I contacted the agency to look at the house. The agency sent me photos, and I found a nice house with a very low rent, only one hundred and fifty GBP, including water grid and property fees, and the owner will also give the tenant his own underground parking space for free use.”

Seeing Liang Xi's strange expression, Daisy explained: "Mr. Bobby's business is Mr. Bobby's business. I must do what Mr. Bobby told me to do. Even if Mr. Bobby and Mr. Liang are enemies now, in Bobby I, too, must finish my work before Mr. Bi explains."

According to this meaning, this account is the account before the hell, not the account after the devil.Liang Xi nodded: "Okay, thank you very much."

Daisy said: "The owner of the house and his wife are settled in Brazil, and they will not return to the UK for at least a few years. After Mr. Liang moves in, if he wants to change the furniture, you can call me directly."

Liang Xi thanked: "Thank you, Daisy, for helping me a lot." You can't get a loss if you buy one hundred and fifty, and you can't be fooled when you buy it.

Daisy said: "This is the key, you put it away first. The address is Unit A, Floor 1, Building 24, Boning Community."

Karin paused, and asked, "Is there a building No. 24 dedicated to the VIP elevator for three households on the 1th floor?"

Daisy saw Karin nodding, how do you know?

Karin asked: "The stairs in the room can directly reach the closed private roof, and there is a semi-sheltered building on the roof?"

Surprised, Daisy nodded.

Karin covered her face and asked, "One hundred and fifty pounds?"

Daisy nodded: "Yes, what's the problem?"

Karin pursed her lips for a long time before answering: "No. The director of Maria Hospital lives on the 24th floor. I just don't think I can rent such a house for 150 pounds." king. The 1th floor is the highest floor, with a high-ceiling duplex room and an exclusive private 24-square-meter large rooftop.The air is good, the environment is good, the view is good, and there is an exclusive right to use the elevator.

Daisy explained: "The low rent is mainly due to the relationship between the landlord and Mr. Bobby. I won't bother you anymore, the driver is still waiting for me." She still has something to do, so she can't dwell on this topic for too long.

Liang Xi sent Daisy to the door. After closing the door, he stretched his head to look at the office area. Karin was very calm and was looking at her mobile phone.Liang Xi went in and sat down, pushed the key and said, "It's yours."

Karin please shake your head: "I don't like tall buildings." Of course I do, but Karin will not rob the house with Liang Xi.Why should I accept the favors that others gave to Liang Xi?

Liang Xi said, "You can pay me the difference in rent."

After hearing this, Karin was stunned for half a second and laughed, and said: "This is a thank you to you, and it has nothing to do with Willy's matter. I can't take advantage of this, and you can't use it to make a profit. I will find out by myself." The right house."

Karin is not: I want it or I don’t want it, I don’t want it or I want it, you should understand me, not a girl who asks me to say it.Karin is a rare rational type of girl.She did not want the right to live in the house sent by Liang Xi, it was a decision after careful consideration.

Liang Xi praised Karin's character and liked it.

Karin added: "But you robbed my house, I will remember."

Liang Xi smiled, very happy, even if it was just drinking tea and chatting with Karin, Liang Xi was very happy.

Karin has to go to work tomorrow and has to deliver.After the two went downstairs, they didn't mention taking a car, and walked towards the hotel apartment naturally.Although Liang Xi had little experience in love, his emotional intelligence was not low. After walking a few meters, he gently held Karin's hand.Karin continued to chat with Liang Xi as if she didn't notice or feel it.Both of them were actually very nervous, and their palms were sweating a lot.Occasionally, the hands parted and quickly wiped the clothes, and then they were quickly held together again.

Today's progress was limited to this, Liang Xi couldn't digest the feeling of holding hands, and did not go any further.As usual, she still kissed the cheek as a farewell ceremony, but the difference was that today Karin finished kissing Liang Xi, and put her face to Liang Xi's mouth, and Liang Xi kissed Karin back very politely.

Standing at the elevator entrance for a long time, Liang Xi suddenly had the urge to make a 360-degree turn.But considering the lessons of Klose's predecessors and his own ability, Liang Xi wisely gave up this decision.

……

When the Clement family and the board meeting were held the next day, Liang Xi moved into his new home.Boning Community is located in the center of the city, and it is a modern small residential community with complete and considerate service properties.Building No. 24 of the community is basically occupied by people from gold collars to superiors, and the VIP [-]th floor is the apex of this building.Taking the exclusive elevator to his new house, Liang Xi felt the charm of money for the first time.Vanity is wrong, but vanity is really cool.When using the key to open the VIP exclusive elevator door, the eyes cast by the nearby crowd made Liang Xi feel the sense of accomplishment that money can bring.

The new house covers an area of ​​[-] square meters. It is a duplex building. The downstairs is the living room, dining room and kitchen.A staircase leads to the second floor, which is a bedroom of about [-] square meters built above the kitchen.The entire living room is designed with large floor-to-ceiling windows, electric curtains, and a panoramic view of the city.

The stairs go up to the bedroom and continue up to the roof.The roof is fenced with double-layer tempered glass. The glass is two meters high, and there are three power grid lines on the outside. There are multiple cameras installed nearby, all of which are basic anti-theft equipment.There is an open shed on the roof, which is now empty and can be customized by the homeowner.You can put barbecue equipment or fitness equipment here, and even repair and maintain motorcycles here.

On the south side of the roof, there is a long marble table and a matching row of marble benches. The function is up to you.Looking at the empty rooftop, Liang Xi has a hundred plans to use the rooftop, but these one hundred plans are costly and troublesome.

Forget it, let it be.Maybe add a chair to the shed?Liang Xi especially likes to read books outdoors on rainy days.The sound of the rain hitting the ground is like the most beautiful melody, and at the same time, the chill brought by the rain makes people more awake.Fuck, I have to buy chairs too, forget it.

Back indoors, the bedroom bedding and other bedding are all new.The biggest problem with this house is that there is only one bedroom, there is no room for children or parents, it is a standard single apartment room.

Since there is no bedroom on the 120 square meters on the first floor, the living room is large, the kitchen is large, and even the bathroom is large.So Liang Xi had a big head: how can we manage the sanitation?When Daisy handed over the house, she said that she would give away an underground parking space, but she didn't say that she would give away housekeeping.With such a large room plus the bedroom and roof on the second floor, it is about [-] square meters. Liang Xi didn't want to spend so much time dealing with the hygiene of the room.

Liang Xi contacted the housekeeping company, and the housekeeping company said that the cost of cleaning once a week plus disinfection would be [-] pounds.Heartbroken for Wuhen, Liang Xi, who hesitated again and again, finally agreed to housekeeping services.Three hundred a week, one thousand two a month, plus one thousand three hundred and five for rent.A little high?If it wasn't for the fact that the water and electricity bills are free, I would definitely not live here.

Liang Xi needed very little living space.For example, in the bathroom, he only needs a toilet and a shower, two or three square meters are enough.

Faced with this so-called generous gift, Liang Xi had no other better choice. After all, it was not an option to live in a detective agency all the time, so he had to grit his teeth and stay.Words are not useless.At least it's a house.

……

As a result of the Clement family meeting, Bobby inherited the family business. Since the Clement family is not a nobleman, there is no limited inheritance, so the family has to spend a lot of inheritance tax for this.In the next few months, the main work of the family will revolve around this matter, and it is not ruled out that part of the real estate will be sold.In addition, because Bobby inherits the family, family members beyond three generations in Bobby's calculation will leave the family and can no longer engage in the work that only family members can do.Poppy's older brothers, older sisters and younger sisters will take over the positions directly related to the family estate.

Although Bobo and Uncle Bo belong to the third generation, they left the family on their own initiative.So according to their wishes, they were arranged to take up idle positions in some departments.After two meetings, the huge Clement family was completely controlled by the small family centered on Father Bo.

At the meeting of the Clement Group, Bobby appointed his father, Bo Bo, as the president and acting chairman of the group, with full authority to handle all the business of the Clement Group.Because no major personnel changes have taken place, the Clement Group's stock price and business status have not been greatly affected.

Liang Xi read the news on his mobile phone at the detective agency and learned about these changes.

Today has been four days since Bobby was attacked.Liang Xi reckoned that Chris could see people now, so he should go and have a look.What is seeing people?No one wants to be seen with a urine bag inserted and unable to take care of themselves. Considering that they are not familiar with Chris, it is more polite to visit after Chris is stable.

What makes Liang Xi more angry is that Karin has no time recently. Her third-year internship report was denied by the attending doctor. Karin was extremely ashamed for suspecting that Karin was the god of death.Liang Xi had seen this old woman before, she had no smile on her face, she was cold, and she often said one sentence: Because of you, I have great sympathy for your patients.When the several interns she brought had outstanding performance, she would not have any praise. She believed that outstanding performance should be done, otherwise she would not be qualified to become a doctor.The consequences of poor cashiers in supermarkets are delays for customers, and the consequences of poor doctors will cause patients to suffer more pain and even die.

The doorbell rang, it should be the gift I bought to visit Chris arrived.Liang Xi opened the door and saw Bobby.Bobby cut off a head of blond hair, left a quarter or six, and was using styling water, shaking his head.

Liang Xi asked, "Didn't you bring your fingerprints? Can't you open the door by yourself?"

Bobby was dissatisfied: "It shows that I am polite."

Liang Xi was disdainful: "Speak this sentence to the predecessor." Turning his head, he walked to the office area and boiled water.

Bobby followed in, skillfully opened the refrigerator, took a can of drink and sat down, asking, "Is the house still satisfactory?"

Liang Xi paused for three seconds to think, really didn't know what to say, so he continued to make tea.

Bobby got excited and speculated: "I'm not satisfied, but you don't want to say it."

Liang Xi said: "It's too big, too much space, and the weekly housekeeping fee is as high as 1200."

Bobby lay on the single sofa, with his feet on the coffee table, and said, "The poor are the poor."

Liang Xi squinted and asked, "What? The rich are going to cheat ghosts today?"

Bobby shook his head, did not answer, and stared at the ceiling in a daze: "I came back from the hot springs in the snowy mountains of Iceland in the morning, and I feel very boring."

Liang Xi asked, "Which country is the hot spring girl from?"

Bobby was sullen: "Can you talk nicely?"

Liang Xi spread his hands: "Go to hell if you're not interested, or go visit Chris together later."

Bobby didn't answer right away, as if thinking of something, he said, "Before going to see Chris, accompany me to Willie's funeral."

Liang Xi poured tea: "Okay."

While talking, the gift Liang Xi wanted arrived, it was a set of silver tableware.Poppy couldn't understand: "You gave Chris silverware? Because he's a vampire?"

Liang Xi said: "This is Danish silver tableware. Chris must be very homesick when he is hospitalized in London."

Bobby exclaimed: "You have such a weird idea,"

Liang Xi said: "Do you have to tell me that I don't know what to buy, so you are happy?"

Both Bobby and Liang Xi didn't mention anything about the family, and they went out after taking a gift and a cup of tea.Bobby's dozen bodyguards were reduced to six, and the eleven bodyguards were divided into two groups, one group rested, and the other group accompanied Bobby out.Of course, as long as he was going out, the chief bodyguard would definitely be by Bobby's side.

Willie's funeral was relatively simple, and most of the people present were from the bodyguard company. Bobby expressed his greetings to the widow alone.Poppy didn't hit anyone with money this time.For one thing, after Willie died in the line of duty, the widow could get a lot of money.Secondly, Bobby is simply condolences to the widow today, thanks to Willy, if you want to give the money, you can give it at another time.

After the funeral, Liang Xi and Bobby took a car to the suburban hospital.
