After the meal, everyone went to the living room where they were served with some digesting tea which they drank as they ate.
Knowing that Diamond didn’t have much time to waste, Madam Lim didn’t want to drag the matter far but go straight to the point.
"I know that you don’t have much time currently, and I shall not be wasting it with meaningless talks," Madam Lim began to speak earnestly as she looked at Diamond, and all the noise quieted down as she spoke.
Diamond looked smilingly at the other as she talked.
"Before you agreed to treat my youngest, you made your own demands and you fulfilled your end of the bargain."
Madam Lim had already talked to her husband and children regarding Diamond’s demand, which wasn’t that difficult to be honest. When it comes to houses, they own a lot of them. Exchanging a house for their brother’s life was actually quite cheap. So, one complained after learning about it.
However, they also understood that the price asked for was very cheap, so they decided to take matters into their own hands, thus the large gathering today.
Madam Lim beckoned for Ji-an who appeared timely and passed a thick envelope over to her. Madam Lim took the envelope which she then passed over to Diamond who was seated on the couch next to her.
Diamond didn’t act pretentious but happily took the envelope. She didn’t think that this family was that efficient. It was just a few days and they have managed to find a house for her already. If that was the case, it means that she now owns two houses in this country and she was looking forward to earning something from them. After all, why keep a house collecting dust when it could be used to bring in some money?
She doesn’t mind staying at hotels at all, even if she envies the Jeong family for living in such a beautiful house.
Diamond didn’t utter a word but opened the envelop under the gazes of many. She then pulled out the document and her eyes widened upon noticing something.
Whilst holding the documents, she raised her head to look at Madam Lim and found the woman smiling. It seemed that she already knew what she was about to ask.
"Like I said earlier, the price you mentioned seemed cheap especially compared to my son. Since that was the case, we decided not to get one but three houses, however, they are not all local. However, the good thing about them is you can still lease them out if you are not using them."
Because Diamond is a foreigner and one who doesn’t reside in Gesalsi full time but visit occasionally, Madam Lim couldn’t actually get her hands on other kinds of houses despite her family dealing in the same industry. She could only transfer houses from other zones that the government didn’t mind having foreigners in.
Since Diamond didn’t live in Gesalsi, it wouldn’t be actually bad for her to put these houses on lease. That was allowed and the country supported that pretty much.
