Chapter 316: Dream of getting rich

Ma Lan herself knew clearly that if this matter were really exposed, even if she could clear herself of other suspicions, it would at least be illegal gambling. Once her husband and daughter knew she was gambling so big outside and had lost all their family assets, they would probably be extremely angry.

In that case, she might not have a good life either.

Now, although the money was gone, those people were in a worse situation, all sent to the black coal mine to dig coal, and they wouldn't be able to get away for ten or twenty years, much worse than her.

So, by comparison, she wasn't that miserable.

It was just that the money and the bracelet were gone, which was really heartbreaking.

It was easy to say the bracelet was gone, she had already taken the fragments, she could just tell the family that the bracelet had broken.

But this money was a bit uncomfortable.

The family's money was all stored in her account. Xiao Changkun didn't have much money himself, even the few hundred thousand he earned from reselling antiques was all in her hands.

And she had lost all the family's savings. If her husband found out, he would probably be furious, right?

Ma Lan sighed in her heart, feeling both regret and pain about today's events.

On the way back, Master Hong Wu called Ye Chen and said, "Master Ye, I personally sent the motorcade onto the highway just now. The motorcade is already on its way to Jinxi. I should have gone personally to handle the matter you entrusted to me, but there's something going on at Tianxiang Mansion tonight. A big shot has booked the diamond private room for a banquet, so I have to go over and take a look..."

As he spoke, Hong Wu added, "But don't worry, I'll take a flight there tomorrow. I estimate that by the time I arrive in the afternoon, their motorcade will have arrived too."

Ye Chen gave a hum and asked curiously, "A VIP at Tianxiang Mansion tonight? Who is it?"

Hong Wu hurriedly said, "Wu Donghai of the Wu family in Jiangnan, and his son Wu Xin."

Ye Chen frowned. It's been several days, and the people from the Wu family haven't left yet?

Could it be that they are staying in Jin Ling because they want to find him?

After all, the psychological suggestion that Wu Qi must eat shit every hour was something he had caused.

It's estimated that the Wu family also realized there must be a hidden story behind this, so they want to get to the bottom of it.

However, Ye Chen wasn't worried. The Wu family's power isn't greater than the Ye family's.

Besides, with his current strength, even if he didn't bring out the Ye family's background, the Wu family couldn't do anything to him.

If the Wu family insists on acting tough with him, then don't blame him for being impolite.

So Ye Chen said to Master Hong Wu, "Fine, you go ahead and get busy."

"Okay, Master Ye!"

After hanging up the phone, the car was almost home.

Ma Lan said to Ye Chen, "Pull over, I'll drive back myself. You walk back, so you don't get seen by your dad and Churan coming back together!"

Ye Chen nodded indifferently, pulled over, and then got out of the car.

Just right, he could buy some vegetables on the way.

While buying vegetables, Ye Chen called his father-in-law to ask if his gathering at the Brilliant Clubhouse was over.

His father-in-law told him that he had just finished the gathering and returned home, and thanked Ye Chen, because Ye Chen had earned him enough face today.

When Ye Chen finished buying vegetables and got home, Xiao Changkun was sitting in the living room, holding a cup of tea in one hand and listening to a novel on his phone with the other.

Xiao Changkun was particularly obsessed with audiobooks. In his words, listening to novels not only saves his hands but also his eyes.

And the immersion is very strong, the sense of presence is even stronger, making it more convenient for him to substitute himself as the protagonist in the book and show off.

Seeing Ye Chen return, he immediately paused the playback and said with a smile, "Oh, my good son-in-law, you're back!"

Ye Chen smiled and called out "Dad," then found that Xiao Churan and his mother-in-law Ma Lan weren't in the living room, so he asked, "Are Churan and Mom back?"

"Churan isn't back, but your mom is."

Xiao Changkun waved his hand and said, "Your mom went into her room as soon as she got back, saying she wasn't feeling well. Who knows what's wrong? Maybe she lost money playing mahjong and isn't feeling well!"

Ye Chen nodded and asked deliberately, "Do you want to go and see? Show some concern?"

"Concern my ass." Xiao Changkun curled his lips and said, "She only knows how to play mahjong all day long, it's so annoying. If she really lost, lost ten or twenty thousand, just let her feel uncomfortable herself. After feeling uncomfortable for two days, she'll know how to restrain herself!"

Ye Chen laughed dumbly.

Ten or twenty thousand?

You have to multiply that by eight thousand!

Today, Ma Lan lost a full 60 million!

Thinking of this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh that his mother-in-law was really brainless. Playing mahjong with a few old women, she could lose over 60 million. What kind of idiot would make such a mistake?

At this very moment, the Xiao family villa.

Xiao Changqian was sitting comfortably on a recliner, sipping tea and listening to a small tune on his phone, waiting for Qian Hongyan to return in triumph.

Xiao Changqian and Xiao Changkun were indeed brothers; their ways of celebrating good news were almost identical.

Xiao Changqian was playing with his phone, repeatedly looking at the WeChat message Qian Hongyan had sent an hour ago, his mouth twisted with laughter.

The message read: "Husband, Ma Lan's 2 million in savings, the house she's living in worth 1 or 2 million, and that jade bracelet worth 4 or 5 million have all been lost to us! And that villa at Tang Chen Yi Pin worth 130 million has also been confirmed to be mortgaged to us! Ye Chen will send the property deed over soon! We've made it this time!"

Xiao Changqian calculated, even without mentioning those miscellaneous things, just this villa alone, if sold, would fetch at least 120 million. When the time comes, his family gets 40%, which is nearly 50 million!

50 million, that's enough money!

When the time comes, if you add the cash, the old house's property deed, and the jade bracelet, you can get a few million more. When the time comes, the harvest will be over 50 million!

Plus the 15 million in savings his family has, it adds up to nearly 70 million!

Even if the Xiao family falls, this money is enough for him to live comfortably for a long time!

Xiao Changqian had even planned the use of this money.

First, he had to give the old lady 8 million.

Because the old lady had been urging for that 8 million for the past two days, Xiao Changqian had been using the excuse that the money was being redeemed by a fund manager and would be transferred to the Xiao Group's account tomorrow.

He himself planned to give the old lady 8 million after Qian Hongyan finished scamming Ma Lan, just to send her away.

As for the rest of the money, he decided to hold onto it tightly and never let the old lady know. When the time comes, he'd buy a villa, and when the Xiao family goes bankrupt, he'd move directly.

Thinking of this, Xiao Changqian's mood was exceptionally pleasant, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Ma Lan, this stinking woman, she dared to show off in front of me just because she had a villa? Now she's cooled down, right? She really deserves it! This money can just be considered my mental damages fee!"

For him, scamming Ma Lan out of everything she had didn't cause him any psychological burden.

This kind of stinking woman needs to be scammed, and scammed a lot, scammed fiercely, scammed to death!

It would be best if this stinking woman had money, and he could think of some way to scam all her money, turning her into a long-term money bag! ===== CHAPTER 317 =====
