His only answer was the sight of Lu Xize's retreating back and the BANG of a door slamming shut.
Cheng Yu rubbed his nose, looking aggrieved. "All you do is shake me down! I'm broke, you know?"
It wasn't that Cheng Yu hadn't asked Lu Xize about this before. Back when the Lu Family left the Imperial City, they had already transferred or sold off all of their assets.
The Lu Family's house in the Imperial City had also been sold long ago.
But for someone of Lu Xize's status, buying a home in the Imperial City, with its astronomical real estate prices, was a trivial matter. Yet, the young master never had, his reason being: "A house is something two people should look at together."
All Cheng Yu could do in response to that explanation was roll his eyes. 'What's that supposed to mean? So if he hasn't gotten the girl yet, he's not even qualified to buy a house?'
'Hmph, he's obviously just trying to shake me down, yet he says it with such a straight face. Have you no shame?'
