Chapter 272

Because there was a card field waiting, Ma Lan didn't wait for the meal to be finished, but carried her bag and walked out the door, immediately taking a taxi to an older villa community in Jin Ling, Xiyuan Villa.

One of her old card friends lived in this villa area.

Xiyuan Villa was considered a relatively good villa in Jin Ling twenty years ago, but after all, it was old, so it gradually declined.

In the past, Ma Lan felt that Xiyuan Villa was already a standard luxury house, and her family might not be able to live in such a detached villa in this life.

But now it's different. Thinking that she would soon live in the best Tomson First Grade villa in Jin Ling, Ma Lan looked down on this kind of Xiyuan Villa.

The old card friend who lived here was named Chen Chen Shuyi, a card friend Ma Lan met several years ago.

Chen Chen Shuyi's family background was good. Her husband made a lot of money in the early years, and then passed away due to an accident, leaving Chen Chen Shuyi a large sum of money.

After Chen Chen Shuyi raised her child and sent her child abroad for development, she took playing mahjong as her pleasure every day.

Moreover, this Chen Chen Shuyi had money, and her card skills were poor. She always lost more and won less when playing cards. Every time Ma Lan played cards with her, she could win a little bit.

So Ma Lan regarded Chen Chen Shuyi as her god of wealth. As long as Chen Chen Shuyi asked her to play cards, she would definitely arrive.

Pressing the doorbell of Chen Chen Shuyi's house, the door opened quickly, and a woman of the same age as Ma Lan greeted her with a warm smile, "Sister Lan is here, come in!"

This middle-aged woman was Chen Chen Shuyi.

Ma Lan hurriedly greeted her, walked into the door, and said with a smile, "Oh, Chen Shuyi, kept you waiting, I'm really sorry."

Arriving at the living room, the other two mahjong friends who often played with her were already waiting at the mahjong table.

"Sister Lan, you finally arrived!"

Seeing her arrival, another middle-aged woman said impatiently, "Hurry up and sit down, let's play eight rounds to warm up first!"

When Ma Lan and Chen Chen Shuyi both sat at the mahjong table, the card game officially began.

Ma Lan said while rubbing the mahjong tiles, "Chen Shuyi, you have lived in this villa for some years, right?"

After Chen Chen Shuyi touched a tile, she smiled slightly and replied, "This house was bought more than ten years ago, but it was mainly bought for investment at that time. After the child went abroad, I have been living in a building in the city. The villa is too big, and it's scary to live alone."

"Then have you ever thought about redecorating it?" Ma Lan became interested and said, "Let me tell you, my daughter happens to be running a decoration company and has cooperation with our Jin Ling's Dihao Group. The level is absolutely guaranteed. If you want to redecorate, I can let her give you a friendship price. By then, it will definitely decorate your villa to be as magnificent as a palace!"

"Sister Lan, thank you for your kindness." Chen Chen Shuyi smiled slightly, then sighed and said, "However, I have already planned to sell this villa."

"Sell it?" Ma Lan asked in confusion, "Why sell it if it's good? You are not short of money. Your husband left you seven or eight houses alone, and you have invested in so many real estates yourself. It's good to put it here for appreciation!"

Chen Chen Shuyi shook her head and smiled, "Actually, I will go to the United States in a while, and I will settle there. I don't plan to come back."

Ma Lan asked in surprise, "Why do you plan to settle in the United States?"

Chen Chen Shuyi nodded and said, "To tell you the truth, ever since my son went to the United States to study, he hasn't come back much. Now he is married there, and his daughter-in-law is pregnant. He doesn't plan to come back even more in the future, so he wants me to go there and live with him, and help them take care of the children by the way."

A woman at the card table blurted out, "Oh, Chen Shuyi, you have so many houses in Jin Ling, are you planning to sell them all?"

Chen Chen Shuyi said, "Keep a flat floor in the city. If there is a chance in the future, the whole family can come back for a few days."

Hearing this, Ma Lan couldn't help but feel a burst of regret in her heart.

She didn't regret losing a card friend she could get along with, but felt that Chen Chen Shuyi was leaving, and it would be difficult for her to meet another sucker like her who had poor card skills and lost money every day but was happy to do so.

At this very moment, at the entrance of Xiyuan Villa, Xiao Changgan and Qian Qian Hongyan parked their car and waited for the real estate agent they had made an appointment with.

Xiao Changgan planned to find a suitable house to spend the ten million, so he contacted the agent to help him find a villa worth about ten million.

The average price of housing in Jin Ling is a little over thirty thousand, but villas will be more expensive, so there is basically no drama in buying a new villa for ten million, so he can only buy this kind of old villa.

Qian Qian Hongyan looked at the entrance of Xiyuan Villa and said with some dissatisfaction, "Changgan, this villa area is too old, right? Look at these houses, they look even older than the one the old lady has. Why don't we stop looking at houses here."

Xiao Changgan said, "There's no way, the flat floor of Tomson First Grade is good, but you don't want to buy it."

Qian Qian Hongyan said angrily, "That piece of trash Ye Chen has a villa in Tomson First Grade. I don't want to stand guard for Xiao Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan's family in the future! No matter what, I won't buy a flat floor in Tomson First Grade!"

Xiao Changgan said, "That's why it's more cost-effective to buy this kind of old villa. The area is large enough, and it's a detached house with a yard, which is comfortable to live in. It doesn't matter if the house is old, just redecorate it."

As he spoke, Xiao Changgan added, "You have to consider our situation. Xiao Hailong has no partner, and Xiao Weiwei has no partner. They each have a room, plus the two of us, that's three bedrooms. In case Xiao Hailong gets married in the future, he will definitely have to live with us. When he has children, he will have to give the child a room, right? That's four bedrooms."

Xiao Changgan continued, "In the future, Mom will definitely have to live with us, right? We have to leave a room for her by then, that's five bedrooms, so a villa is more practical."

Qian Qian Hongyan said very dissatisfied, "Why should your mom live with us? Why not go live with Xiao Xiao Changkun?"

Xiao Changgan shrugged, "The old lady has already broken off relations with Xiao Xiao Changkun's family. Do you think Xiao Xiao Changkun will let her live there?"

Qian Qian Hongyan said very dissatisfied, "Then she can't follow us either. We haven't gotten any light from the old lady! Now the Xiao family is about to finish, and there is no benefit at all! If you ask me, just send her to Xiao Xiao Changkun's house by then. Whether he wants her or not is his business. Anyway, we won't care about the old lady!"

Xiao Changgan said, "You don't know this, right? My mom has a life insurance policy she bought for more than twenty years, a wealth management type. After she dies, this life insurance can take out more than six million. If you drive the old lady to their house, then after the old lady dies, this six million will belong to Xiao Xiao Changkun!"

"More than six million!?" Qian Qian Hongyan's eyes lit up, and she asked in surprise, "Is there really that much?"
