Chapter 2306
Before Zong Qiuhua arrived, she had also heard Chen Liping mention Ma Lan's situation and knew that she lived in Tang Chen Yi Pin and drove a Rolls-Royce in Jin Ling, so she was not overly surprised.
She smiled and said to Ma Lan, "Don't you think a car like the Cullinan is a bit too big for us women to drive? I rarely drive when I go out; I always have a driver drive the nanny van while I sit in the middle row. It's much more comfortable and worry-free than driving myself."
Ma Lan said with an envious look, "Our family doesn't have a full-time driver or a nanny van, otherwise I would also like to experience the feeling of being a female boss."
Zong Qiuhua smiled and said, "Isn't that simple? If you don't have a nanny van, I'll give you one in a while. You know the Lexus LM300, right? I ordered three from a parallel import car dealer a while ago. I originally intended to keep one for my parents, but they are now planning to settle in the United States and not return. Since there's nowhere to deal with the car when it arrives next month, I might as well just give it to you."
Ma Lan was ecstatic and blurted out, "LM300... is it... is it that 'Rellfa' that has a markup of hundreds of thousands or even a million?!"
"Yes." Zong Qiuhua nodded and smiled, "People on the internet say it's a car for suckers, but I think it's fine. Anyway, the extra money spent is just for the sake of appearances. That extra eight hundred thousand or a million isn't much. To be honest, if it didn't have a markup, rich people wouldn't buy it. Without a markup, where would the prestige come from? It would be best if it could have a uniform markup of 3 million. That way, as long as you drive it onto the street, others will know it's a 5-million-dollar large bread van—low-key yet luxurious."
Ma Lan was full of admiration in her heart and thought to herself, "So this is the lifestyle of the rich. They don't care about cost-effectiveness in anything, only that the prestige is in place..."
Immediately, she couldn't help but think to herself, "Isn't this Zong Qiuhua a bit too generous? She wants to give me a 'Rellfa' as soon as she opens her mouth. This car costs 3 million in total. Should I keep it for myself to drive, or sell it quietly when the time comes?"
At this time, Zong Qiuhua added casually, "Parallel import cars are all declared at the port before entering. When the time comes, I will have the car dealer declare it, and then use a flatbed truck to ship it to Jin Ling for you. You just need to go get the license plate when you receive the car."
Ma Lan said hurriedly, "Oh my... how... how can I have the nerve to accept such a valuable gift from you..."
Zong Qiuhua said with a smile, "The car is already ordered, and it will be idle anyway, so you don't need to be polite with me. A car is a total nuisance if you don't drive it. Not only do you have to find a place to park it, but you also have to do maintenance from time to time. It's not worth the trouble. Giving it to you can be considered making the best use of it."
Ma Lan was extremely excited and hurriedly said with a smile, "Oh, then thank you so much!"
"Why be so polite." Zong Qiuhua smiled slightly, checked the time, and said deliberately, "Oh, we should go check in soon. There is also a first-class lounge inside. We can chat in the lounge after checking in."
Ma Lan said without hesitation, "Okay, okay, then let's go check in now."
As she spoke, she stood up, packed her suitcase and handbag, and prepared to leave the lounge with Zong Qiuhua.
At this moment, Zong Qiuhua was already starting to feel a little nervous inside.
Because she was about to implement the plan she had carefully prepared for a long time.
So, while slowly packing her things, she quietly tapped three times on a black plastic box in her pocket.
This plastic box was actually a one-way communication device with a built-in operator SIM card. From the moment she entered the door, her lover and accomplice had been listening to the progress inside through a mobile phone in a car in the parking lot.
And her three light taps were the signal to close the net.
When her accomplice received the agreed-upon three taps, he immediately called Zong Qiuhua's mobile phone.
At this time, Zong Qiuhua was pretending to pack her luggage and handbag. When her phone rang and she saw the words "Secretary Qin" on the contact list, she deliberately pretended that she couldn't hold it to her ear to listen, so she turned on the speakerphone directly, put the phone aside, and said, "Secretary Qin, I'm about to board the plane. If there's anything, wait until I board before talking."
The voice on the other end said very urgently, "Eldest Miss, something happened to the Old Lady!"
Zong Qiuhua became nervous all of a sudden and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation? What happened to my mother?"
The other party said hurriedly, "The Old Lady was accompanying the Young Master horseback riding today. I don't know what happened, but the horse got spooked and kicked the Old Lady. The Old Lady fainted. She was just sent to the hospital, and the doctor said the situation is a bit serious."
Zong Qiuhua said anxiously, "What's going on... how could my mother be kicked by a horse? What is the butler doing? What is the manager of the horse farm doing? Have the manager of the horse farm pack his things and get out immediately! Take that horse out and slaughter it! It can kick my mother today, and it might throw my son off tomorrow!"
The other party stammered, "Eldest Miss... that horse was bought by the Master from Turkmenistan for more than 8 million US dollars. It is a true Akhal-Teke horse. Wouldn't it be too rash to kill it just like that..."
Zong Qiuhua said coldly, "I told you to kill it, so kill it! Even if a horse is good, I don't want it if it can't be tamed! This is the price it pays for making a mistake!"
Ma Lan, who was on the side, was stunned and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "An Akhal-Teke horse bought for more than 8 million US dollars is killed just because it kicked the Old Lady once? That's nearly 50 million when rounded up! I really still don't understand the world of the rich..."
At this time, the secretary on the other end of the phone could only say helplessly, "Okay, Eldest Miss, then I will arrange for someone to do it later. But the Old Lady's situation here is not optimistic. Do you want to come and see?"
Zong Qiuhua said helplessly, "Of course I have to go see... If you had told me half an hour later, I would have already passed security. There's really no other way..."
As she spoke, she hurriedly added, "I'm going back now, see you at the hospital!"
The other party immediately said respectfully, "Okay, Eldest Miss, see you at the hospital!"
After hanging up the phone, Zong Qiuhua said to Ma Lan with extreme annoyance, "Ma Lan, I'm really sorry. Something happened to my mother and she was kicked by a horse. I have to rush to the hospital to see her. I definitely can't leave today."
Ma Lan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. She had wanted to take advantage of this long-haul flight to get closer to the wealthy woman in front of her, but she didn't expect that something would happen suddenly and she wouldn't be able to leave.
Ma Lan's mind suddenly turned, and she hurriedly said, "Oh, Qiuhua, such a big thing as the Old Lady getting injured, I must go see her. How about this, I won't leave today either. I'll go to the hospital with you to see the Old Lady. After the Old Lady is fine, we will go back to the country together!"
In fact, Ma Lan didn't really care about the Old Lady she had never met.
Let alone Zong Qiuhua's mother, she didn't even bother to ask about her own mother, and she had rarely returned to her maiden home to visit in so many years.
The main reason Ma Lan said this was that she didn't want her upcoming trip to Hong Kong to fall through.
After all, she was still waiting to stay in Zong Qiuhua's big villa on Severn Road in Hong Kong for a few days and enjoy herself.
If Zong Qiuhua didn't leave today, wouldn't her plan fall through completely?
