Because there was a license plate waiting, Ma Lan walked out with her bag on her back and immediately took a taxi to a relatively old villa community in Jinling, Xiyuan Villa.
One of her old friends lives in this villa area.
Xiyuan Villa was considered a better villa in Jinling twenty years ago, but after all, it has been a long time, so it gradually failed.
In the past, Ma Lan thought that Xiyuan Villa was already a standard luxury house, and his family might never live in such a single-family villa in this life.
But now it’s different. When I think about being able to live in the best Tangchen Yipin Villa in Jinling, Ma Lan looked down on this kind of Xiyuan Villa.
The old friend who lives here is named Chen Shuyi, who was known to Ma Lan several years ago.
Chen Shuyi's family is well off. Her husband made a lot of money in the early years, and then passed away due to an accident, leaving Chen Shuyi a lot of money.
Chen Shuyi raised her child and after sending her child to develop abroad, she enjoyed playing mahjong every day.
Moreover, Chen Shuyi is rich and has poor card skills. She always loses more and wins more when playing cards. Every time Ma Lan plays cards with her, she can win more or less.
So Ma Lan regarded Chen Shuyi as her God of Wealth. As long as Chen Shuyi came to her to play cards, she would definitely come.
When Chen Shuyi's doorbell rang, the door opened quickly. A woman who was about Ma Lan called out with a warm smile and said, "Sister Lan is here, come in quickly!"
This middle-aged woman is Chen [ ] Shuyi.
Ma Lan hurriedly came forward, stepped into the door, and smiled and said, "Oh Shuyi, I'm so embarrassed to have you been waiting for a long time."
When we arrived in the living room, the other two Mahjong friends who often played cards with her were already sitting at the mahjong table waiting.
"Sister Lan, you're here!"
Seeing her coming, another middle-aged woman said impatiently: "Sit down quickly, let's have eight rounds of hot hands first!"
When Ma Lan and Chen Shuyi both went to the mahjong table, the game officially began.
Ma Lan said while playing mahjong: "Shuyi, you have lived in this villa for a while, right?"
After Chen Shuyi touched a card, she smiled and replied: "This house was bought more than ten years ago, but it was bought mainly for investment. After my child went abroad, I have been living in the city. The villa is too big.
, I was so scared that I lived alone.”
"Did you ever think about redecorating it?" Ma Lan was interested and said, "I tell you that my daughter happened to run a decoration company and she also cooperated with our Jinling Dihao Group. Her level is absolutely guaranteed.
If you want to redecorate it, I can ask her to give you a friendly price. At that time, you will definitely be as magnificent as the palace!"
"Sister Lan, thank you for your kindness." Chen Shuyi smiled slightly, then sighed, and said, "However, I have already planned to sell this villa."
"Sell?" Ma Lan asked in confusion: "Why should you sell it well? You are not the one who is short of money. Your husband has left you seven or eight houses alone, and you have invested so much real estate by yourself.
, How great is it to appreciate in this way!”
Chen Shuyi shook her head and smiled, "Actually, I will go to the United States in a while, and I have settled in the past and am not going to come back."
Ma Lan asked in surprise: "Why are you planning to settle in the United States?"
Chen Shuyi nodded and said, "I'm going to tell you, my son has not come back in the United States since he went to study in the United States. Now he is married there, and his daughter-in-law is pregnant, so he doesn't plan to come back in the future. , so I want me to go and live with him and help them take care of their children."
A woman at the card table blurted out: "Oh, Shuyi, you have so many houses in Jinling, are you all ready to take action?"
Chen Shuyi said: "Leave a set of flat floors in the city. If you have the chance in the future, the family will come back for a few more days."
Hearing this, Ma Lan couldn't help but feel a burst of regret.
She was not sorry that she was about to lose a card friend she had. Instead, she felt that Chen Shuyi would leave as soon as she wanted. It would be difficult for her to meet a sucker like her, who had poor card skills and was happy to lose money every day.
......
At this moment, at the entrance of Xiyuan Villa, Xiao Changgan and Qian Hongyan parked the car and waited for the appointment of the real estate agent at the door.
Xiao Changgan planned to find a suitable house and spend the 10 million yuan, so he contacted the agency and asked the agency to help find a villa worth about 10 million yuan.
The average house price in Jinling is a little over 30,000, but villas will be more expensive. If you buy a new villa of 10 million, there is basically no chance, so you can only buy an old villa like this.
Qian Hongyan looked at the door of Xiyuan Villa and said with some dissatisfaction: "Chang Gan, this villa area is too old, right? Look at these houses, they look a little older than the old lady's one, or not Let's not look at this room."
Xiao Changgan said: "There is no way. The large flat layer of Tangchen Yipin is good, but you don't want to buy it."
Qian Hongyan said annoyedly: "That waste Ye Chen has a villa in Tangchen Yipin. I don't want to stand guard for Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan's family in the future! I can't buy a flat floor of Tangchen Yipin!"
Xiao Changgan said: "So, it's more cost-effective to buy an old villa like this. It's large enough and has a separate courtyard. It's comfortable to live in. It doesn't matter if the house is old, just redecorate it."
As he said that, Xiao Changgan said again: "You have to consider our situation. Hailong has no partner, and Weiwei has no partner. They each have a room, plus we have three bedrooms. If Hailong gets married in the future Now, I must live with us. When he has a child, he has to give the child a room, right? There are only four rooms."
Xiao Changgan continued, "Mom must live with us in the future, right? Then we will have to leave a room for her. These are five rooms, so it is more practical to have a villa."
Qian Hongyan said angrily: "Why should your mother live with us? Why don't she live with Xiao Changkun?"
Xiao Changgan shrugged: "The old lady has cut off relations with Xiao Changkun's family. Do you think Xiao Changkun will let her live?"
Qian Hongyan said very dissatisfiedly: "Then we can't follow us, we didn't have any worries about the old lady! Now the Xiao family is almost finished, so there is no benefit! I want to tell you, I'll put her at that time. Send it to Xiao Changkun’s house. Whether he wants it or not is his business. We don’t care about the old lady anyway!”
Xiao Changgan said: "You don't know this. My mother has a life insurance that she has bought for more than 20 years. It is a financial management type. After she dies, this life insurance can be more than 6 million yuan. If you drive the old lady away, When they arrive at their house, after the old lady dies, the more than six million will be Xiao Changkun's!”
"More than six million!" Qian Hongyan's eyes lit up and she asked in surprise: "There are so many?"
