Chapter 272: Buy an old villa

Because there was a card game waiting, Ma Lan didn't wait for the meal to finish, but directly carried her bag and walked out, immediately taking a taxi to Xiyuan Villa, a relatively old villa community in Jin Ling.

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 became a bit dilapidated.

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 be able to live in the best Tomson Riviera villa in all of Jin Ling, Ma Lan actually looked down on this kind of Xiyuan Villa.

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

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 Shuyi a large sum of money.

After Chen Shuyi raised her child and sent the child abroad for development, she played mahjong for fun every day.

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

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

Ringing the doorbell of 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 quickly!"

This middle-aged woman was Chen Shuyi.

Ma Lan hurriedly greeted her, walked into the door, and said with a smile: "Oh Shuyi, I 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 came!"

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

After Ma Lan and Chen Shuyi both got on the mahjong table, the card game officially started.

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

After Chen Shuyi touched a card, she smiled slightly and replied: "This house was bought more than ten years ago, but it was mainly bought for investment at the 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 thought about redecorating it?" Ma Lan became interested and said: "Let me tell you, my daughter happens to run 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. At that time, it will definitely decorate your villa as magnificent as a 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 it?" Ma Lan asked puzzled: "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 estate yourself. Isn't it good to put it here for appreciation?"

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

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

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 also pregnant. He doesn't plan to come back in the future, so he wants me to go there and live with him, and by the way, I can help them take care of the children."

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

Chen Shuyi said: "Keep a flat floor in the city. If there is a chance in the future, the 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 Shuyi was leaving just like that, and she probably wouldn't be able to run into a sucker like her again, who had poor card skills, lost money every day, and was still happy to do so.

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

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

The average price of housing in Jin Ling is a little over 30, 00, but villas will be more expensive. If you buy a new villa for ten million, there is basically no chance, so you can only buy this kind of old villa.

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

Xiao Changqian said: "There is no way. The large flat floor of Tomson Riviera is not bad, but you don't want to buy it."

Qian Hongyan said angrily: "That loser Ye Chen has a villa in Tomson Riviera. I don't want to stand guard for Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan's family in the future! No matter what, we can't buy a flat floor in Tomson Riviera!"

Xiao Changqian said: "So, 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 detached courtyard, which is comfortable to live in. It doesn't matter if the house is old, just redecorate it."

As he spoke, Xiao Changqian added: "You have to consider our situation. Hailong has no partner, and Weiwei has no partner. They each have a room, plus the two of us, that's three bedrooms. If 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 rooms."

Xiao Changqian continued: "In the future, Mom will definitely have to live with us, right? At that time, we will have to leave a room for her, that's five rooms, so the villa is more practical."

Qian Hongyan said angrily: "Why should your mom live with us? Why not go live with Xiao Changkun?"

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

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 almost finished, so there are even fewer benefits! If you ask me, just send her to Xiao Changkun's house. Whether he wants her or not is his business. Anyway, we won't care about the old lady!"

Xiao Changqian said: "You don't know this, right? My mom has a life insurance policy that she bought for more than twenty years, a financial 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, these six million will be Xiao Changkun's!"

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