1617, back to Penang
Huo Lan knew that Gu Qiyang had been in Kyoto and Penang in the past few months. This was actually a private matter of the Huo family, but in the end, Gu Qiyang handled it all by himself.
"Listen to you, let's go."
As he said that, the group got off the plane and walked out of the airport from the VIP channel.
"Mr. Xiao, Mrs., old lady, worked hard all the way."
The Xiao Yihe and the others who came to pick up Gu Qiyang personally did not seem crowded.
After getting on the bus, Xiao Yihe asked.
"All sorted over there?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, everything inside and out has been cleaned up. According to your requirements, I have re-built furniture."
Huo Lan, who was sitting in the back row, heard the conversation between Xiao Yihe and Gu Qiyang and asked in confusion.
"What furniture? You won't have real estate here, do you?"
She has been married to Xiao Yihe for more than a year and doesn't know anything else, but she knows that Xiao Yihe has a hobby, which is that she likes to buy real estate in various places. Every time they go to a city, they basically don't stay in a hotel, and there are Xiao Yihe's real estate in the local area.
Hearing Huo Lan's words, Xiao Yihe smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
"I'll know when I'm here."
After saying that, he winked at Gu Qiyang, and then Gu Qiyang drove away from the airport.
Penang Airport was in the suburbs of Penang. It took nearly 40 minutes to drive to the center of Penang. Huo Lan hasn't been back here for more than four years. Now he has returned to the place where he has lived since childhood, but Huo Lan feels extremely unfamiliar.
The changes have been too great in the past four years. There were more high-rise buildings in the city center, wider roads, and more and more cars on the road.
But when she saw a tall building in the distance, her whole body felt a strong sense of coldness.
"Lanlan, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Huo, who was standing beside her, noticed Huo Lan's change and held her hand worriedly. Xiao Yihe in front of her turned his head and saw Huo Lan staring at a building far outside the car. He looked at it and said gently.
"Don't worry, in a few days, the building will be equipped with the Tusheng Real Estate brand."
That's right, it's the headquarters of Wanhui Real Estate. In the busiest city center of Penang, a building with about 30 stories is particularly eye-catching.
Hearing Xiao Yihe's voice, the coldness on Huo Lan gradually dissipated. Then, looking at the strange city, it seemed that she could no longer find the memory of her past. She looked around and asked.
"I remember the Tucson Real Estate in the past should be in that area."
"Madam, Penang has been building in recent years. The land of Tucson Real Estate has been demolished before. Now it is a residential area. I have checked it. Because Tucson Real Estate had been acquired by Wanhui Real Estate at that time, all the demolition compensation was included in Wanhui Real Estate's name. In addition, a piece of land was compensated in the western suburbs, which is still idle."
Hearing this, Huo Lan smiled coldly and said.
"Wanhui Real Estate is quite good at getting cheap. I remember that the building of Tucson Real Estate had about fifteen floors at that time, covering an area of about 20,000 square meters. This compensation is quite good."
"Don't worry, over the years, I will let them spit out a lot of points. What they got from Tucson Real Estate before will only be repaid twice."
Xiao Yihe said firmly, let alone dealing with a mere Wanhui Real Estate, the big guys in Penang recently may not be able to sleep at night and are always worried that they will come down from that position. Xiao Yihe wants these people to feel frightened.
The car continued to drive, and after almost twenty minutes, they had already passed through the busiest neighborhoods. Now there were residential areas on both sides of the road. The old and dilapidated were gone, and they turned into brand new high-rise buildings or rows of luxurious villa buildings.
At this time, Huo Lan felt a sense of familiarity. Isn’t this the only way she had to go to and from school every day? Especially the familiar school plaque in the distance, which was the school she had lived in for nine years.
"This is……"
At this time, Mrs. Huo also seemed a little excited. The five or six minutes drive from this school was the earliest villa group in this area, and Huo Lan's former home was here.
Wanheyuan, Tucson Real Estate's most proud real estate business card at that time, consisted of 288 villas. When this villa area was opened, it attracted countless wealthy people in Penang. It can be said that those who could afford Wanheyuan were all well-known figures in the local area.
"Yihe, you..."
At this time, Huo Lan had already thought of a possibility, but she was still a little unbelievable. After all, more than five years have passed, and the villa has already had a new owner.
At this time, Gu Qiyang spoke.
"It was the president who told me that I must buy this villa. The president said that this is where my wife lived since she was a child. When she returned to Penang, she could not even have a home. In order to let the seller transfer this villa, we won't win it by 30% higher than the market price. And Mr. Xiao also promised the other party to become a long-term supplier of Yaoyuan Real Estate."
When Huo Lan heard this, her nose was already sore. If it weren't for the two children in the car, she would probably have been unable to hold back and cry.
When the father passed away, the creditor came to the door, and the mother and daughter sold all their assets, and in the end they were the only house left.
At that time, Huo Lan thought about keeping the last house no matter what, because there were all her memories here, and she didn't want to lose even the last thing related to her father.
But later, her mother was seriously ill and the creditors collected debts. Huo Lan was unable to bear it, so she could only sell the only property and then took her mother away from this sad place. After that, she never came back.
Now, when Huo Lan stepped on this familiar place again and looked at the withered sycamore trees on both sides of the road, she thought that every summer, she liked to pass by here the most because the dense sycamore trees could cover the heat of summer for her.
The car slowly drove into Wanheyuan, and it seemed that it had not changed at all. Except for the trees on both sides of the road that were taller, everything else was so familiar.
Sixty-eight, when Huo Lan finally couldn't hold back when she saw the familiar door sign, she burst into tears.
The car stopped slowly, and the familiar villa and the familiar yard were just her favorite pavilion, and the garden was no longer flowers that bloomed all year round. Instead, it was a flat grassland.
Xiao Yihe got out of the car first, helped Huo Lan open the car door, first took Xiao Jinyue in her arms, and then helped her get out of the car with one hand.
"I don't know what it was like when you lived in the past. So according to your preferences, let's decorate Qi Yang a little. Let's go in and take a look. If you have other ideas in the future, just do it, this is our home in Penang."
As she said that, Xiao Yihe had already walked into the villa with Huo Lan's hand. Mrs. Huo behind her looked at the familiar house, as if she had a different life. She never dreamed that she would be able to return here in this life.
Last time Mrs. Huo came here when she came back to visit her relatives, but there were others living here at that time. She didn't even dare to get close to her, so she could only take a look from a distance.
Now, when I come back here again, Mrs. Huo’s mood is not much better than Huo Lan, tears flowing and crying.
"Civilization, have you seen it? Lanlan and I are back, and we are back in the house you built."
Mrs. Huo shouted loudly to the sky, and all the grievances and longings of the past years poured out at this moment.
"Mom, we're back home, we're back."
Huo Lan came over and hugged Mrs. Huo. The mother and daughter didn't care about anything at this moment. They only knew how to cry loudly. The pain that had been in their hearts for many years would never have to be suppressed like this again.
Xiao Yihe was by his side all the time, while Gu Qiyang brought a child into the villa. After about ten minutes, Huo Lan and his daughter finally stabilized their emotions, and Xiao Yihe came over.
"Let's go, come in and take a look. This time we will stay here for a while. When you wait for nothing, you can find a decoration company and renovate it."
"Husband, thank you, thank you for all this for me."
At this time, Huo Lan could not think of anything else to say besides the word "thank you". Xiao Yihe hugged Huo Lan with a heartache and said gently.
"Wife, we don't have to thank each other. I know that you and your mother-in-law have always felt bad about these things. I also hope that you can let go of the past and not always live in the pain of the past."
Huo Lan nodded. She thought she was hiding well, but she didn't expect Xiao Yihe knew everything.
