Chapter: 617

This mother-in-law always likes to pull herself out to mock others, still feeling like she's a big scoundrel, really wanting to slap her in the face and tell her: "If you think my old man is a big scoundrel, then the villa he got through his scams, don't come crying when it's time to move in!"

In the end, this mother-in-law still hasn't settled down!

Because there was a card room waiting, Ma Ran didn't wait for dinner to be finished before directly carrying her bag and taking a step out the door, immediately getting into a car to head to an old residential area in Jinling called Xiyuan Villas. She had an old friend living in this villa district.

Xiyuan Villas was considered one of the better villas in Jinling twenty years ago, but since it's gotten old, it has gradually shown some signs of decline.

Before, Ma Ran thought Xiyuan Villas was already a standard luxury villa, and she might not be able to live in such a standalone villa for the rest of her life.

But now it's different, and as soon as she can move into the best Tangchen Villa in Jinling, Ma Ran has a bit of disdain for this kind of Xiyuan Villa.

The old friend living here is called Chen Shuyi, someone Ma Ran recognized a few years ago through card games.

Chen Shuyi's family background was good; her late husband earned a lot of money earlier on, and then suddenly passed away, leaving Chen Shuyi with a large sum of money.

After that, Chen Shuyi raised her children, sent them abroad to develop themselves, and spent every day playing mahjong for fun.

And besides, this Chen Shuyi had money, but her card-playing skills were bad, so she always lost more often than won. Ma Ran could win a little each time they played together.

So Ma Ran thought of Chen Shuyi as her own good luck charm - whenever Chen Shuyi asked her to play cards, Ma Ran would definitely show up.

Ma Ran quickly pressed the doorbell at Chen Shuyi's house, and the gate opened soon after. A middle-aged woman with a warm smile greeted Ma Ran: "Ran sister has arrived, come on in!"

This middle-aged woman was none other than Chen Shuyi.

Ma Ran hurried to greet her, took a step inside, and said with a laugh: "Oh, Shuyi, I've kept you waiting too long - that's really sorry."

Arriving in the living room, the other two friends who often play cards with her were already seated at the mahjong table, waiting.

"Ran sister, you're finally here!"

When she arrived, another middle-aged woman hurriedly said: "Sit down, let's play a round of eight circles and get warmed up quickly!"

After Ma Ran and Chen Shuyi both took their seats at the mahjong table, the game officially began.

Ma Ran was shuffling the mahjong tiles while saying: "Shuyi, this mansion has been around for some years now, hasn't it?"

Chen Shuyi smiled slightly after drawing a tile, responding: "I bought this house over 10 years ago. At the time, I mainly purchased it for investment purposes. After my children left the country, I've been living in an apartment in the city, as this mansion is too large for me to live alone."

"That's something to think about," Ma Ran said with interest. "I'll tell you, my daughter is actually running a decoration company and has collaborated with our Jinling Empire Group. The level of guarantee is absolute. If you want to redecorate it, I can let her give you a friend's price, and when the time comes, she'll definitely make your mansion as magnificent as a palace!"

"Ran sister, thank you for your kind intentions." Chen Shuyi smiled slightly before sighing: "However, this mansion is already up for sale."

"What? Sell it?" Ma Ran asked in confusion: "Why on earth would you sell it? You're not someone who's short on money. Your husband has left you several houses, and you yourself have invested in so many real estate properties. It's a good thing to put them up for auction!"

Ran sister, actually I'll be going to America in a little while and it's not just a temporary visit, but rather settling down there permanently.

Ma Ran was surprised and asked: "How do you plan to settle down in America?" JrNovels.com
