Just when Xiao Changqian was fantasizing about Ma Lan being his long-term enemy, Mrs. Xiao walked in from outside with a frosty look on her face.
Xiao Changqian hurriedly greeted him and said, "Mom, are you back? How is the company doing?"
Mrs. Xiao had a dark face, snorted angrily, and said: "The bank will start the bankruptcy liquidation process soon. It said it will start next Monday. Once the process starts, the villa will be sealed. The eight hundred dollars you agreed to Wan, why haven't you called me yet?!"
Xiao Changqian laughed and said: "Mom, didn't I tell you that the money is in financial management and I am looking for a financial manager to redeem it. You always urge me to do something. Can I still withhold this money from you?"
Although he said that, from Xiao Changqian's heart, he didn't want to give Mrs. Xiao a penny. It was just that Mrs. Xiao still had several million in life insurance after her death. And she had a few more in her own pocket. Millions of jewelry and more than 20 million worth of antiques left behind by the old man.
Xiao Changqian still knew her biological mother very well. Those jewelry and antiques had always been her coffin books, and she had been reluctant to take them out to save the company.
Moreover, no one except her knows where these things are hidden.
Even if banks and courts come and seal the company and villa, they will never find these things.
With the old lady's shrewdness, she must have moved those jewelry and antiques to a safe place long ago.
If he falls out with the old lady and refuses to give up the eight million, then the old lady's coffin books may not be left to him in the future.
Therefore, these eight million still have to be spent!
As long as He Lian sells Ye Chen's first-grade Tomson villa, the eight million can be given to the old lady!
Mrs. Xiao didn't know what Xiao Changqian was planning. Seeing that he was still refusing, she said angrily: "Chang Qian, I raised you since you were a child. As soon as you stick your ass out, I know what you are going to do." Don’t even think about holding back on giving it to me. Let me tell you, if you don’t give me this money, I will move to Chang Kun’s house tomorrow. When I die, my life insurance, jewelry, and the antiques left by your father will be mine. I leave all the calligraphy and painting to Chang Kun alone!"
Xiao Changqian quickly comforted him: "Mom, what are you talking about? I promised you this money, and I will definitely give it to you, today at the earliest and tomorrow at the latest, okay?"
Mrs. Xiao sat down on the sofa and said, "Okay, first you take out the money!"
Xiao Changqian spread his hands and said: "I don't have it now... but don't worry, I will definitely give it to you tomorrow!"
Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Xiao let out a scream and cried: "You heartless thing, you are always trying to deal with me tomorrow. I have raised you so big in vain!"
Xiao Changqian quickly stopped him and said, "Mom, please stop yelling. I really don't have any money at home, it's all kept with Hongyan! Hongyan will go out to do this for you today. Wait for her Come back and I will give it to you, no later than tomorrow!"
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she stopped crying and asked, "It's getting dark today, why hasn't Hongyan come back yet?"
Xiao Changqian replied: "She went out to handle money matters and should be back soon..."
With that said, Xiao Changqian took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Qian Hongyan: "Honey, it's almost time to come back, right?"
As a result, the message was sent and there was no reply for a long time.
Xiao Changqian frowned and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Mom, I'll give Hongyan a call."
After that, he called Qian Hongyan.
The phone was on speakerphone, and a system reminder came from the speaker: "Sorry. The user you dialed has turned off."
Xiao Changqian said to Mrs. Xiao: "Mom, you heard it too. The phone can't be connected. It's probably because the battery is out..."
"If you can't get through, just keep calling me until you get through!" Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "I'm telling you, don't try to fool me today. Give me your phone and I'll make the call!"
Xiao Changqian sighed helplessly and handed the phone to Mrs. Xiao: "You can call me."
After taking the phone, Mrs. Xiao dialed Qian Hongyan's number again, but the other party still reminded her that the phone was turned off.
Mrs. Xiao said in confusion: "What's going on? Why is the phone turned off even though it's a good phone?"
Xiao Changqian said: "Mom, isn't it normal for a mobile phone to automatically shut down when it's out of battery? Besides, it's not convenient for her to charge when she's outside."
Mrs. Xiao threw her cell phone to him and said angrily: "Then keep calling until you get through!"
Xiao Changqian had no choice but to sit on the chair and kept hanging up and dialing out.
It lasted for more than half an hour, but the phone still prompted to shut down.
Xiao Changqian felt more and more that something was not quite right...
Logically speaking, Qian Hongyan went out to set up a scheme with He Lian to swindle money, not outdoors, but indoors, where it should be very convenient to charge her mobile phone.
Moreover, he had reminded her before that she should keep in touch at all times so that if something unexpected happened, he could go to the rescue.
Therefore, she should not shut down her phone.
What the hell is going on?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sit up straight, his face became serious, and he said to himself: "There's something wrong with this..."
Mrs. Xiao glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Stop acting here, what's going on!"
Xiao Changqian suddenly felt inexplicably irritable and felt vaguely uneasy.
So he said to the [ www.biqugexx.xyz ] old lady: "Mom, please stop making trouble. Hongyan can't be contacted right now. I'll look for other people first to see if anyone is with her." "
After saying that, Xiao Changqian dialed He Lian's number again.
Just like Qian Hongyan’s mobile phone, there is also a power-off prompt in the receiver.
Then, Xiao Changqian dialed the numbers of He Huaqiang and Niu Guimin, but the result was the same...
Isn’t this too weird?!
At this time, Xiao Changqian's heart was completely confused!
He scratched his hair in panic. The bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
When Mrs. Xiao saw his state, the more she looked at him, the less he looked like he was acting, and she realized that something might really have happened!
So she quickly asked: "Chang Gan, what's going on? Tell mom the truth!"
Xiao Changqian shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on..."
Old Mrs. Xiao asked: "Then what are you thinking about so distractedly? Why can't I contact Hongyan yet? What are you hiding from me?"
Xiao Changqian hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Mom, let me tell you the truth. In fact, today Hongyan set up a game for Ma Lan and found a con man to play mahjong with Ma Lan. The purpose was to Swindle the money from Ma Lan and Ye Chen's villa. In this way, when the bank seizes our villa, won't you be able to live in the Tomson Yipin that you have been longing for? "
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her eyes lit up in a hurry, and she blurted out excitedly: "Did you cheat me on that villa? When can I move in?"
