Chapter 282 - 284: Taking Her for a Sucker to Slaughter!_1
"Are you robbing me?"
This is absolutely outrageous! He’s treating her like a scapegoat!
"How do you think my room compares to a presidential suite in a five-star hotel?" Gu Shaocheng had a look that screamed ’I dare you to challenge me’, and continued, "A presidential suite in a five-star hotel outside can cost more than $15,000 a day. For old times’ sake, I’ve already given you a discount and will only charge you $10,000 Canadian dollars."
"The USD has depreciated! Today’s exchange rate is only 0.25%!"
"Know it that well, do you?"
"Of course, I have been trading in foreign currency these days!" Chenxing, still on cloud nine, was nipped in the bud. How could he ask for such a hefty sum?
Could his room really compete with a presidential suite in a five-star hotel? Chenxing scanned the surroundings in search of any flaw but was eventually brought to the realization that his room could indeed be considered fit for a king. It was grand, classy, with every detail exuding an extraordinary elegance, second to none compared to a presidential suite.
Oh no...
Chenxing bit her lip, at a loss with her predicament.
"Then give me a room meant for servants, that can’t be as pricey as a presidential suite, right?"
"Do you know when this house was built? On the market, each room is an antique! This house was built during the Kangxi Era and the ancestors of my family moved it brick by brick to Canada during the Ming Dynasty. In essence, this is a princess mansion. So what do you think, how much a servant’s room can cost?"
Chenxing bit her lip and thought to herself: the cost will still be what you say, right? Go ahead and keep scamming me!
Chenxing voiced out her thought: "I’ll stay in the outer yard, that can’t be as costly, right?"
"Do you know how much the land of the entire Gu Mansion costs per square meter?"
"Gu, Shao, Cheng!"
She looked adorable when she was upset, especially with her pouting lips and her side eyes directed at him as if they were about to shoot at him. Gu Shaocheng could not help laughing internally, but his face remained unperturbed.
Speaking clearly he said: "I can hear you loud and clear, I’m not hard of hearing!"
Chenxing, in the next moment put on a pure gaze and asked: "Could you reduce the price a bit more, please? I really don’t have that much money on me!"
"Alright, as we are acquaintances, I’ll give you a friendship price, 1000 per day, including accommodation and medical expenses, food cost not included. Once you recover, I’ll give you a list of your food expenses. Don’t worry, I won’t overcharge your food cost, I’ll only charge for what you consumed and there will be accounts for reference."
"As the price is quite a bargain, I’ll not make a profit, so I’ll only give you half of the bed, I’ll sleep on the other half. Don’t worry, with your current state of being tanned and acne-ridden, I don’t find it appetizing. Besides, you are on your period, so I am not that desperate to make a move on a woman who is not physically well."
Chenxing pouted her lips and glared at him.
You’re the one who’s hideous and hurtful here!
"Take it or leave it? Give you a minute to think, I might change my mind anytime!"
Just after he finished his sentence, Chenxing played her card: "Didn’t you say you liked me?"
"Friends should settle accounts clearly! However," Gu Shaocheng replied casually, "if you agree to stay here permanently, then we don’t have to worry about all these calculations!"
