Chapter 401: Sell it to me!

"Enough!" Old Mrs. Xiao's chest heaved violently with rage. She stared at Ma Lan and cursed, "You shrew, so what if the Xiao family has fallen on hard times now? Sooner or later, we will have a chance to make a comeback. When that day comes, even if your whole family begs to return to the Xiao family, it won't be possible."

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said to Ma Lan at this moment, "How can you talk to Mom like that? Hurry up and apologize to Mom!"

Ma Lan frowned at Xiao Changkun and said coldly, "Have you forgotten how this old woman kicked you out? You're taking her side again now. You treat her like a mother, but does she treat you like a son?"

After finishing, Ma Lan pointed at Old Mrs. Xiao again and said coldly, "Old woman, I'm asking you to get a grip. Look at the pathetic state you're in now; why are you still putting on airs with me? I'm telling you, even if you knelt on the ground right now and begged me to go back, I wouldn't! What kind of bullsh*t Xiao family is this? You've fallen to the point of selling furniture to survive; who the hell wants to go back?"

Old Mrs. Xiao was furious. She pointed at Ma Lan's nose and said, word for word, "Ma Lan, I've lived for so many years, and you are the first person who has dared to speak to me like this. Remember what you said today. Sooner or later, I will break your legs and make you kneel before me to kowtow and apologize!"

Ma Lan laughed disdainfully, "Forget it, you? You're an old bag of bones about to be buried, and you want to break my legs? Come, come, my legs are right here. If you have the ability, break them. Just try breaking my legs and see what happens!"

As she spoke, Ma Lan actually stretched out her leg and sneered at Old Mrs. Xiao with extreme contempt.

This made Old Mrs. Xiao so angry that she wished she could break Ma Lan's leg on the spot to stop her from being so arrogant.

However, with Ye Chen present, Old Mrs. Xiao didn't dare to do anything at all.

She still remembered the scene where Ye Chen had beaten a group of bodyguards by himself, and it still made her feel a lingering fear even now.

Xiao Hailong used to be very arrogant, but now with Ye Chen around, he didn't dare to let out a peep for a long time. Seeing his grandmother being insulted by Ma Lan, he didn't dare to step forward to help her save face either, and could only hide behind with a sullen expression.

At this moment, Xiao Changqian returned with a dark face, accompanied by that shop owner.

As soon as he returned, he said to Old Mrs. Xiao, "Mom, let's go. Their offer is too low!"

The owner hurriedly said, "My friend, 1. million is really not a small amount. The material of this furniture set is average, and it's quite old with significant damage. My price is already very fair. If you go anywhere else, you definitely won't get a higher price than this."

Old Mrs. Xiao was already full of anger. Upon hearing that the quote was only 1. million, she immediately scolded, "Such good furniture, and you only offer 1. million? Isn't your heart too black?"

The owner said helplessly, "This is an honest price. If you don't believe me, go and ask around."

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly and said to her family, "Let's go! Try another shop! I don't believe this!"

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said at this time, "Mom, how about I give you 1. million? Sell it to me. To be honest, I have quite a lot of sentimental attachment to that set of furniture of Dad's."

"In your dreams!" Old Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth and said, "Even if I chop it up for firewood, I will never sell it to you!"

After finishing, she waved to Xiao Changqian and said, "Let's go, quickly!"

Xiao Changqian glared at Xiao Changkun and hurriedly accompanied the old lady as they turned and left.

Xiao Changkun looked at their backs and couldn't help but shake his head repeatedly, sighing, "I really didn't expect the Xiao family to be reduced to selling off their family property. That set of furniture was Dad's favorite when he was alive. It's a real pity to sell it!"

Xiao Churan knew that her father had deep feelings for that furniture, but she still stepped forward to comfort him, "Alright Dad, with Grandma's temper, it's impossible for her to sell that furniture to you. Let's look at something else."

"Hmm." Xiao Changkun sighed, then said to the sales assistant, "I'll look around some more. Your Hainan material is too expensive, and the Myanmar material takes too long to wait for."

The sales assistant nodded and said, "Come back if you need anything."

Turning around to leave, Old Mrs. Xiao's family was already nowhere to be seen.

Xiao Changkun went to look at a few more shops selling yellow rosewood, but after looking around, he didn't see anything he liked.

Ma Lan was getting anxious, so she suggested buying the bedroom and dining room furniture first, otherwise, they might waste the whole day shopping for nothing.

Xiao Changkun also felt that continuing to look like this wasn't the way to go, so the family moved on to a lifestyle store.

Ma Lan picked out a bed for herself costing several tens of thousands, and Xiao Churan also picked out one for over ten thousand. Wardrobes, dining tables, storage cabinets, and other furniture were also quickly matched in the lifestyle store.

Including the necessary home appliances and other miscellaneous items, they spent over 700, 00 in total.

Ma Lan had been silently calculating the accounts for Xiao Changkun. Knowing that he still had over 1. million left, she started to scheme. If Xiao Changkun really used that money to buy a set of yellow rosewood sofas, there would be no money left at all. But if he just bought a decent European-style sofa set, he could at least have a million left.

So, she kept nagging Xiao Changkun, saying, "Changkun, if you can't find a suitable yellow rosewood sofa, why not just buy a European-style set for now? Wouldn't it be better to just buy a set of Hainan red rosewood for three million when we have money later?"

Xiao Changkun knew what she was scheming, so he said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about what kind of sofa I buy. Anyway, the furniture for the bedroom, dining room, and entertainment room is all bought now, which is enough for you to use."

Ma Lan was extremely depressed and blurted out, "Why are you so stubborn! If you buy a ready-made sofa set, it can be delivered this afternoon, and our whole family can happily move into the new house tomorrow! But if you keep dragging this out, this little bit of money can't buy Hainan material, and you look down on the Myanmar material. You're stuck in the middle; how long are you going to drag this out?"

Xiao Changkun suddenly became hesitant.

With over 1. million, buying yellow rosewood was indeed a difficult middle ground.

If he continued to hesitate like this, it would definitely delay normal use after moving in.

If, as Ma Lan said, he bought a European-style sofa set now, it could be delivered this afternoon, and they could move in tomorrow.

Just as Xiao Changkun was hesitating, Ye Chen suddenly spoke, "Dad, I think Old Mrs. Xiao will definitely contact you in a while."

Xiao Changkun asked subconsciously, "Why?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Because of money! They definitely can't sell that furniture for more than 1. million. After going around, they'll probably find that your price is the highest, so they'll definitely have to sell it to you."

Ma Lan said disdainfully, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you hear the old lady just now? She said she'd rather chop it up for firewood than sell it to us!"

"So what?" Ye Chen said indifferently, "They are at their poorest right now. Dad offered 100, 00 more. To them, this 100, 00 is a large sum. A shrewd person like the old lady definitely won't throw away this 100, 00 just to be spiteful."

Ma Lan curled her lips, "You think you're so smart, don't you? You think just because you can read some feng shui to fool people, you can see through everything? Based on my understanding of the old lady, if she can swallow this pride and sell that furniture to us, I'll eat that furniture raw!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Changkun's phone suddenly rang. He said in surprise, "It's my big brother calling."

After finishing, he hurriedly picked up the phone and answered.

Xiao Changqian said coldly on the other end of the phone, "You said just now that you wanted that furniture for 1. million. Is that true?"
