Chapter 103: I'll Move In First!
While Old Mrs. Xiao was dreaming of moving into the big Tomson First Grade villa, Xiao Changgan rubbed his hands and sighed: "Mom, I plan to send someone to Yanjing in the near future to invite Dong Ruolin's family to be guests, and then subtly reveal to them that I hope they will marry Dong Ruolin to Hailong. What do you think?"
"The Dong family..." Old Mrs. Xiao sighed and said: "Last time Hailong left Dong Ruolin and ran away himself, I guess Dong Ruolin has a lot of opinions about him!"
Xiao Changgan said: "I think this small matter is not a big deal. Between families, it's about helping each other. What everyone values is the future development prospects. Although our Xiao family can't compare to the Dong family, we have obtained the cooperation of the Emgrand Group, and there is still a lot to be done in the future. Maybe the Dong family will agree to this marriage."
Old Mrs. Xiao thought for a moment, nodded and said: "Since that's the case, you try to invite them and see if the Dong family is interested in coming to Jin Ling as guests."
"Alright!" Xiao Changgan hurriedly added: "Mom, the Dong family is a big family. If we don't have a decent villa and lose face in front of the Dong family, that won't do."
As he spoke, he added: "If we can get the Tomson First Grade villa from Ye Chen, when the Dong family comes to visit and sees the Tomson First Grade villa, they will also look at our Xiao family with higher regard, what do you think?"
Old Mrs. Xiao nodded.
People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold. Living in a villa worth over 100 million naturally greatly improves the family's face.
Plus, she had been coveting Ye Chen's Tomson First Grade villa in her heart, and this was just the right opportunity to make a move.
So she said majestically: "Call your younger brother's family to the old house tomorrow! I will tell them myself!"
Xiao Hailong and his sister looked at each other, secretly happy in their hearts.
Now Xiao Changkun's family relied on the company for food, and Old Mrs. Xiao was the person in power in the family. As long as the old lady spoke, what foothold would Xiao Changkun's family have?
If the old lady asked him to hand over the villa, would he dare to say no?
With the old lady's favoritism toward their family, as long as this villa was taken from Ye Chen, it would be their family's in the future!
Early the next morning, Xiao Changkun led his daughter and son-in-law and rushed to the Xiao family's old house.
As Xiao Churan opened the car door, she asked: "Dad, Grandma specifically called you over, did she say there was anything important?"
"She said we'd talk when we get there." Xiao Changkun said: "And your uncle Xiao Changgan will also come."
Ye Chen frowned. Looking at this formation, it didn't seem like anything good.
Xiao Churan said unhappily: "What else could it be, I guess it must be about the villa."
"About the villa, Ye Chen can just explain it clearly to your grandma in a while."
Xiao Changkun didn't think much and hurriedly got into the car, urging Ye Chen to drive.
At 9:30, the car drove to the entrance of the Xiao family's old house.
The family walked into the main hall. Ye Chen scanned the room, and his brows frowned slightly.
He saw Old Mrs. Xiao sitting on the grand chair in the center, with Xiao Changgan standing next to her, and Xiao Hailong and his sister standing on the other side.
Besides them, there were several elder relatives of the Xiao family sitting on both sides of the main hall, and several younger members of the Xiao family standing on both sides, looking over with hostility.
It's just a small matter of a trip, why set up a three-court trial formation?
Xiao Changkun lived up to his name; he was usually very honest and couldn't even let out a fart after three sticks.
Now that he saw this formation, he shrank his head even more, called out "Mom" tremblingly, and then called out "Brother" with a dry laugh.
Xiao Changgan acted as if he didn't hear him and ignored him.
Old Mrs. Xiao nodded indifferently.
Xiao Changkun asked tentatively: "Mom, you called me here today, is there anything?"
"I'm asking you, what's going on with the Tomson First Grade villa?" Old Mrs. Xiao questioned coldly.
Xiao Changkun hurriedly said: "That villa was given to Ye Chen by Mr. Wang. Ye Chen helped him look at Feng Shui before."
"Look at Feng Shui?" Xiao Hailong sneered and said sarcastically: "If looking at Feng Shui can result in a luxury mansion, then everyone in our Xiao family should stop working and all become charlatans to cheat money!"
A burst of low mocking laughter sounded in the main hall.
Listening to the ridicule of the relatives, Xiao Changkun was embarrassed and could only laugh dryly.
It was Xiao Changgan who laughed twice and mediated in a friendly manner: "Mom, no matter what Ye Chen is like, Mr. Wang has already explained it. It was indeed a gift for him. This matter can be considered clear, so my second brother doesn't need to explain anymore."
Xiao Changkun looked at his brother gratefully, somewhat flattered.
Usually, his brother didn't even look at him, but today he actually spoke for him, which was truly unprecedented!
Xiao Changgan smiled slightly, turned to Old Mrs. Xiao and said: "Mom, you don't need to ask where the villa came from anymore. Anyway, Mr. Wang himself said it was given to Ye Chen, so we don't have anything to worry about."
"Hmm." Old Mrs. Xiao nodded and said to Xiao Changkun: "Changkun, your brother wants to marry into the Dong family and let Hailong marry Dong Ruolin of the Dong family. What do you think about this?"
"This is a good thing." Xiao Changkun laughed: "The Dong family is a famous family in the capital. If we can marry into the Dong family, it will also be a help to our Xiao family."
"It's a good thing, but," Old Mrs. Xiao sighed and said: "However, our family, compared to the Dong family, is really too far behind. Even if your brother has this heart, he doesn't have the face to open this mouth to the Dong family."
Xiao Changkun nodded seriously and said truthfully: "Mom, to be honest, I also feel that Dong Ruolin should not look up to Hailong."
Xiao Hailong's expression was extremely ugly, and he blurted out: "Second Uncle, what do you mean by that?"
Xiao Changkun realized he had said the wrong thing and hurriedly changed his words: "Oh, I didn't mean that. I meant to say that compared to the Dong family, our Xiao family is indeed a big gap behind."
Old Mrs. Xiao said indifferently: "People rely on clothes, Buddha relies on gold. If we live in the best villa in Jin Ling, when the Dong family comes, they will also look at us with higher regard!"
Xiao Changkun asked in surprise: "Mom, are you planning to change houses?"
Old Mrs. Xiao said indifferently: "I want to change to a better one, but unfortunately I don't have that much money."
As soon as Xiao Changkun heard this, he hurriedly said: "If Mom needs money, I have about a million here."
Old Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly: "A villa costs tens of millions or over 100 million, what's a million for?"
As she spoke, she deliberately changed the subject and said: "Changkun, doesn't your family have a ready-made villa at Tomson First Grade?"
"Yes." Xiao Changkun didn't understand and said blankly: "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Old Mrs. Xiao's face showed displeasure, and she said: "I am your mother, do you have the heart to watch me live in this old house for so many years? Now that you have a Tomson First Grade villa, shouldn't you honor me, your mother, and let me move in first?"
