Chapter 89 Farewell to the past
After signing the agreement, the house and the land under it belonged to both the Charles and Charles. Even the Earl could not illegally deprive the house that belonged to both the Charles and the Charles. After the bank issued a certificate, Charles could go to the decoration workers and the designer to discuss the next decoration issues.
Last time he talked about this with Charlie, he eventually lost to Charlie. The girls smiled and stared at each other, and there seemed to be a very special magic. You can find a hundred reasons to reject it when she was unreasonable. When she started to smile and even looked at you with some pleading expressions, something that was hard to believe happened.
You can clearly declare your victory and make the final decision, but when the girls give up on resisting, they will become soft-hearted.
From "maybe we can find a way to reach an agreement" to "well, you have the final say", girls don't even need to do anything in the process. Just look at you and shut your mouth. Of course, there is a deep hatred and a ugly one. This is the magic that only belongs to beautiful girls.
Charles lost to such magic, and in the end, the design style of their house was decided by Charles. In addition, she also found a suitable designer, one of the many artists of the Light of Art. Charles vaguely felt that she might have done something stupid, but she should not care about what she had decided.
He returned to the Lower City with the certificate and the 50,000 yuan in a slightly yellow and worn cloth bag. No one would have thought that there would be so much money in the inconspicuous bag.
He went back and put the certificate at home. This thing can be reissued at any city bank, but it needs to pay the bank's filing fee of 300 yuan to review the file - people who can afford a house in the central city will not lack these three yuan, so in a sense, it is also a kind of money.
Then Charles left the house with Gloria, and the girl wanted to say goodbye to the past, so naturally she had to end it all in person. This was not that Charles forced her to break up with the past. If she didn't show up, the philandering middle-aged man might come to the door again, and as "I am your girlfriend's father", it would be even more disgusting, so it is the best way for everyone to cut off directly here.
The girl also figured out these things while on the road. The two of them didn't speak along the way, and then found Gloria's home near District D and District E.
Her home is actually not much different from where Charles lives. Both sides of the street are always expanding and increasing apartment buildings, like two black mountains blocking the sun and the sky. Steam track cars used for projects that shuttle through the air from time to time roar and roar past, and some tiny dust will fall when the tracks shake.
The sun will never be seen, and there are a lot of moss in the cracks on the bricks on the ground. Although someone is responsible for cleaning every day, the streets will never be clean.
The air in the lower city is always filled with the smell of some unpleasant industrial residue. The closer it is to Area E, the more this happens. There are some factories with less pollution in Area E. Some people once thought that heavy pollution projects should be moved to the urban circle, that is, outside the city wall.
Anyway, no matter how polluted the deserted land outside, there will be no one to do with it, and it will not cause too much trouble to the lives of people in the lower city. However, it is obvious that this statement will always be just a statement because it is not feasible at all.
Move the existing factory out of the city, and who will pay the fee? One question can ask everyone to death. It is better to think about what to eat at night than to expect the entrepreneur's conscience.
While waiting for the elevator, some people saw the girl and Charles, with a special look in their eyes. The two of them got on the elevator and came to the door of Gloria's house and knocked on the door.
This was the first time Charles entered the interior of another apartment, which was no different from where he lives now. The dim light bulb on the rusty ceiling was covered with blurred glass, and there was a layer of steel lampshade outside to avoid the loss of the bulb.
There was a faint smell of urine in the corridor. There were rooms on both sides of the corridor, so there were no windows here, and the air could only leave through the breathable holes that circulate naturally, but it did not work in many cases. The mottled and faded walls were potholes, some looked like they were naturally separated after being wet, while others were bumped by something, and there was no big difference.
After more than ten seconds, the door opened, and a woman who was not tall was exposed inside the door. Her hair was tied in a mess, she was a little thin, and her back was a little hunched. There was a little uneasiness hidden on her face. She looked at Charles and then moved to her daughter. She subconsciously wiped her hands on her body, turned slightly and pushed open the door, and pulled Gloria into the room silently.
There was a strong and pungent smell in the room, which was the smell of herbs.
Herbalism is a treatment method and method recognized by the empire. Generally, this treatment method is mostly applicable to the lower city areas, and further up there are alchemy secret medicines and priests. In addition, there is a rapidly developing medical method in the past decade, called "medical science". However, many people do not believe in the last one, and always think that the person who created this kind of "medical science" is a liar.
They even advocate cutting open the human body and finding problems. This behavior cannot deceive people except deceive some foolish women who know nothing!
Shire soon saw Gloria's father in the "largest" bedroom. His condition was not too bad, at least he did not die. This was a blessing in disgrace.
He had bandages on his head, the woman held Gloria's hand and said something outside the balcony, while the girl's two brothers glanced at Charles and then retracted into the room.
In addition, only the old man who was curled under the dining table was left, and the old man who seemed to have no strength also squeezed out some smiles with Charles.
A few minutes later, Gloria and her mother started crying quietly. After the two came back from the balcony, Charles gave her the bag in her hand, "This is 50,000 yuan..."
The old man under the dining table looked at Charles in surprise, and Gloria's mother's hands also shook. She wiped her tears and looked at the money in the bag. A shimmer flashed in her eyes and looked at the girl again.
But this time, her eyes were no longer filled with sadness filled with reluctance and sadness, but also a kind of envy, yearning, surprise, and even... jealousy.
A trace of jealousy was hidden in her eyes, and she quickly moved her gaze away, holding the bag in a humble manner. She seemed to be holding the bag normally at this time, or she felt that the bag was particularly heavy. Although it was not heavy, it weighed less than two kilograms, it was really heavy, because it might be the hope of life.
The girl took a deep breath and looked at Charles, "I'll pack up some things and wait for me..." She grabbed Charles' arm, as if she was a little scared. Charles nodded and she quickly returned to the room.
The woman reacted at this time. She sent the bag of money back to the bedroom. After a while, the voice of a middle-aged man came from inside. He actually stood up with the help of the woman. He even stood inside the door of me and greeted Charles, and then scolded his wife with an angry tone, "Why let the noble guest stand, find the drinks at our house, pour them for the guests... and you, get out!"
He interrupted his speech, as if it was because of pain, and the last sentence was to the old man curled under the dining table.
The old man seemed to support his body weakly and climbed towards the balcony at a very slow speed. He was not at all dissatisfied, but only numb to the status quo.
Charles raised his hand to stop the enthusiastic man and the woman who began to rummagate on things. It happened that Gloria walked out with a box.
She glanced at her father and her mother for the last time, and grabbed Charle's wrist and looked at him, and he looked at her, "Let's go?"
"Um……"
