Chapter: 616

Xue Chu'er said, "The Xue family's external debts are approximately 30 million yuan. With an additional 10 million yuan, things might be a bit better for them. Grandma must be having a tough time."

"She deserves it!" Ma Ran disdainfully said. "Grandma is a terrible person! She has been bullying us for so many years and look what she's become. I just hope the Xue family goes bankrupt soon and grandma has to sleep on the streets. Then she'll realize how many mistakes she's made in her life!"

Xue Changkun looked embarrassed and didn't say anything else.

Ma Ran blurted out, "What kind of joke are you trying to play? Of course I won't help her! Even if she becomes homeless or starves to death, I won't lift a finger. You forgot what face she showed us when she drove our family away. I'm telling you, I'll never forgive her!"

Xue Changkun sighed and didn't say anything else.

He indeed had a grudge against Old Mrs. Xue, but it was just a grudge and not hatred like Ma Ran's.

Ma Ran said with a smug expression: "I'm now waiting for the Xu family to go bankrupt, and when they do, we'll move into the luxurious villa at Tongchen One Palace. Then I'll definitely make them know what it means by 'Thirty years on one side of the river, thirty years on the other side'!"

After that, Ma Ran said to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, have you recently been in touch with Wang Zhenjun from the Wang family? Let him arrange for the renovation company to speed up the progress. Next month, no matter what, we'll be moving in!"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Wang Zhenjun has told me that it will definitely be completed by next month, so we can move in then."

Xu Churan said: "It's not suitable to move in right after renovation. How about giving it some time to allow the smell to dissipate?"

Ma Ran quickly said: "No need, no need! I went with your dad to inspect the place last time, and they're using all imported non-polluting materials, zero VOCs. The rooms are truly odor-free, and the villa even has a new air system that changes the air 24 hours a day. It's so advanced and healthy!"

Xu Churan only nodded and didn't say anything else.

In fact, she herself didn't have any feelings about moving into the luxurious villa at Tongchen One Palace.

However, last time Ye Chen said the right thing. After moving over there, at least I can live on the same floor as my parents, which means I'll have a lot more private space. I won't need to be like this now, even in my own room, with no privacy whatsoever.

Plus, I already promised Dong Ruolin that after we move into the villa, I'll leave one room for her and invite her to live there. She's just a single child living alone in a hotel, which is actually quite lonely.

Ye Chen doesn't care about the villa at all; he was pampered and fed like an emperor until he was eight years old, and then spent many years in an orphanage, so he's already reached a stage where he's not fond of material possessions.

At this moment, Ma Ran suddenly received a WeChat message, took out her phone to take a look, and was instantly delighted.

She spoke up to the three people: "I have an appointment with my old sister in the afternoon to play mahjong at her place. I'll be playing for eight rounds, and then I won't be back for dinner."

Xu Churan exclaimed: "Eight rounds? That's not 10 hours?"

Ma Ran rolled her eyes and said: "What's wrong with 10 hours? The big tables that don't end until two in the morning or three in the night are not new to me. Even when I was young, my mother used to play for a long time like that!"

Xu Churan advised: "Well, at our age now, we should be careful. Prolonged sitting can lead to many diseases, such as lumbar disc herniation, cervical spine disease, and high blood pressure."

Ma Ran waved her hand dismissively: "My body is fine, don't curse me!"

Xu Churan frowned slightly, unable to help but feel worried: "Mom, occasionally play mahjong to relax, I don't mind. But please remember my warning: don't play for too long, and most importantly, don't play those games where you can lose tens of thousands of dollars in one go."

"Oh, playing mahjong is just a way to have fun, isn't it?" Ma Ran said with a shrug: "Besides, I go out and play mahjong every day, which is for this family's sake? Your dad is useless, Leaf Chen is not only useless but also a big scoundrel who cheats people everywhere. Who knows what kind of trouble we'll have in the future? You're currently starting a business and haven't even seen any returns. How are my husband and I going to support ourselves later on? I'm just playing mahjong to earn money and supplement our living expenses now!"

Leaf Chen listened with growing annoyance. JrNovels.com
