Chapter 1: Misunderstanding
The old man who opened the door squinted, looked Ran Xixi up and down a few times, and then looked at Lu Qinghuan beside her, and saw that the two of them were dressed extraordinarily, not like young people, so he hesitated and asked: "Your surname is Diao?" I heard that the owner of this place was surnamed Diao in the past. ā
Ran Xixi still endured it, and after a pause, he said in a trembling voice: "My father is Diao Chengxi. ā
She didn't say that her surname was Diao, but only reported Diao Chengxi's name.
The old man thought about it, and let them in. Anyway, there is nothing of value here, he lives on the first floor, look at the house, the second floor upstairs is almost empty, since you want to see it, then take a look.
Having said that, the old man opened the heavy iron door and admonished: "Hurry up, I'm afraid there will be intermediaries who bring buyers to see the house in the past few days, and if you meet it, it's not good." ā
Lu Qinghuan nodded, stuffed a box of cigarettes into the old man without a trace, and said softly: "We know, just take a look and leave, uncle, smoke a cigarette." ā
The old man made a gesture to refuse, looked down at the packaging of the cigarette case, he squinted his eyes again, and smiled: "Okay." ā
Ran Xixi ignored these details, walked straight ahead, and walked into the mansion in a familiar way. The door to the first floor had been torn down and hollow, and when she walked in, she seemed to be reminded of the past, and unconsciously recalled what the original furnishings were like.
Although she didn't grow up here, during the period before she got married, she lived here with Aunt Bao every day, and unconsciously, she also had a trace of affection.
Originally, the word "home" was very vague to Ran Xixi.
But she thought about it and found that in the past 20 years, there is only this place, which is closest to the concept of "home".
Seeing Ran Xixi standing in place with a gloomy expression, Lu Qinghuan could naturally understand her feelings - back then, his parents died in a car accident, and he and Lu Qingyu were dependent on each other when they were young, and they watched her aunt's family break into her home with great fanfare, and at that moment, it was almost her current mood.
Therefore, he did not step forward, but just kept a little distance from her and gave her enough space to remember the past.
Lu Qinghuan was just puzzled, Zhan Xingchuan was not short of money, why did he have to sell here. The location of the Diao family's mansion is special, and the city government does not allow random demolition, and this area is protected, and it is impossible for real estate developers to buy it. Therefore, the real estate here is almost a price a day, only rising and not falling, he can completely wait for the price and sell, strange goods can live, sit and wait for a good price in the future, why rush for a while.
"IāI'd like to go upstairs and have a look. ā
Ran Xixi's voice sounded a little choked, she lowered her head, said softly, and then cautiously walked up the stairs.
"I'll go up with you, watch your step. ā
All the valuable things here have been removed, and what is left behind are naturally some worthless broken copper and iron, just waiting to sell scrap products in the future, so the surroundings of the two are very chaotic, full of sundries, and every step must be taken with special attention.
The two of them walked up the stairs, pushed the doors of the rooms one by one, and walked in to take a few looks, and in each room, the valuable furnishings had been removed, and some furniture was covered with white sheets.
"I've been living here for a few days, and I really miss Aunt Bao's cooking, which combines northern and southern flavors, and now I can't eat it if I want to. ā
Lu Qinghuan stood at the door of one of the rooms, recalling with a sigh.
Ran Xixi's eyes were slightly red, she reached out and pulled the sheet open, looked at it, and put it down again.
"I went to see my mom's room. ā
She sniffed and walked into the next room, which had been locked all year round, but now the door lock had been smashed open, and it was even more messy, and the floor was full of unwanted clothes, silk scarves and the like, which were already full of dust and shoe prints, and it was obvious that the large cloakroom in the autumn realm would not escape the fate of being destroyed.
Ran Xixi was a little anxious, for so many years, Aunt Bao had come to clean every once in a while, in order to leave these relics.
She hurriedly crouched down, picked it up in the same way, and patted the dust on it with her hand. The smoke was everywhere, Ran Xixi was choked and coughed, and her face turned red, but she didn't stop at all, she was still in the mess all over the ground, searching for items that had not been completely damaged, and held them in her arms.
Lu Qinghuan tried to stop her, but seeing the pain on Ran Xixi's face, he couldn't bear it, so he simply took off his coat, rolled up the cuffs of his shirt, exposed his two arms, and silently helped her move the staggered furniture on the side to speed up the progress.
The two of them were busy in the room of the autumn realm, and after more than ten minutes, the old man who guarded the door couldn't help but run up when he saw that they hadn't come down yet.
"If you see anything useful, take it away, people buy a new house, it must be redecorated again, these are sold as rags, it's a pity. After two days, when the boss came, I asked if he could pull away a few tables and chairs for me......"
The old man thought about it in pieces, and there was a little regret in his expression, such a big family business, if you don't want it, you don't want it, I really can't understand the thoughts of rich people.
Half an hour later, Ran Xixi roughly organized the room in the autumn realm, and the surroundings were much cleaner. She also knew that in fact, what she did was useless, but she just couldn't accept that this place had become a garbage dump.
She found a suitcase and packed it in, intending to take it with her.
I thought the old man would stop him, but after looking at the contents of the suitcase, he probably guessed that it should be his daughter who wanted to take her mother's things, so he waved his hand and signaled them to leave quickly.
"After going downstairs, I'll go to the next street to get the car first, you can't walk with your things, just wait for me at the door." ā
Lu Qinghuan wiped his hands clean, put on his coat again, and whispered.
Ran Xixi carried the suitcase, hung his head slightly, and walked downstairs with him.
Walking through the living room, through the garden, and to the front yard, at that moment, she really understood what was sung in the opera, "It turned out that the purple and red bloomed all over the place, and they were all paid to this ruin".
Lu Qinghuan went to pick up the car first, and Ran Xixi put down the suitcase and stood next to the big iron gate.
The wind blew her long hair a little messy, and she could only put her hands behind her ears over and over again, and there was a tingling sensation on her cheeks.
A car turned around not far away, Ran Xixi squinted and looked over, she didn't wear contact lenses today, her vision was a little hazy at first, and when the car drove closer, she saw the license plate number clearly, which was a little familiar.
Soon, the person who got out of the car confirmed her guess, and it was indeed Zhan Xingchuan.
Ran Xixi couldn't help but purse her lips, what is he here for? Is he here to accept the fruits of victory? He bought the Diao family, this is not enough, he has to sell her home!
She twisted her head to the side, pretending not to see him.
After Zhan Xingchuan got out of the car, he walked straight here, the wind gradually rose, blowing his windbreaker too, the color of high-grade gray was very flattering to him, if he didn't know him, Ran Xixi must have felt that this man had a figure comparable to that of a male model.
However, she knows better than anyone what a terrible heart he has under his good skin.
"Have you seen it in there?"
Seeing that there was a lot of dust on her professional clothes, Zhan Xingchuan understood that she must have already gone in.
He didn't come, he just sent someone to transport the valuable things in the Diao family first, as for here, because Zhan Xingchuan couldn't figure out how much appreciation space was left in this old house, in order to save worry, he planned to get rid of it directly, even if he made less money, he would not regret it in the future.
Ran Xixi had to raise his head, look directly at him, and said coldly: "Are you happy? Even the big mansion of the Diao family was sold by your hands, you, the former son-in-law of the Diao family, are really capable, do you want me to give you an award, Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Show Award, Most True Character Award? Ah? You say, you say!"
Zhan Xingchuan couldn't help but take a step back, his brows furrowed.
Seeing his reaction, Ran Xi thought that he was weak-hearted, and sneered: "You will also be embarrassed? Shouldn't you be triumphant now? Why do you still force yourself to restrain your true emotions? If you want to be happy, you show it, hide it, it's not your style." ā
After saying that, she looked at the intersection again, thinking to herself why Lu Qinghuan hadn't driven the car over for so long.
"I think," Zhan Xingchuan suddenly said slowly, "There are some things I have to make clear to you." First, it wasn't my idea to sell this place, I was just helping, and I don't know how to spread the word, so it became that I was going to sell this place. Second, on Saturday morning, Miao Miao and I had just returned from you and received the news that your father had spent three days and three nights in a big casino in Brazil while discussing business, and that he owed about fifteen million dollars. The owner of that casino is a well-known underworld boss in South America, and if the other party says that if he doesn't pay back, he will chop him up and send him to the Amazon River to feed the crocodiles. ā
After speaking, Zhan Xingchuan took out a printed photo from his arms and handed it to Ran Xixi.
She was startled, hesitated to take it, and found that it should be a picture taken from the video, in the photo, Diao Chengxi was tied up with five flowers, and there was something stuffed in his mouth, looking at the camera with a frightened face.
Behind him, there stood four or five big men, each with a weapon in his hand.
"Don't think about calling the police, these people are all rampant snakes in the whole South America, and even the American police have nothing to do with them, what do you think the embassy can do? What's more, people didn't force him to gamble, he was willing. ā
Zhan Xingchuan lowered his head, lit a cigarette for himself, puffed out a puff of smoke, and said with a disgusted expression.
Ran Xixi's hands trembled so badly that she finally found her voice: "Then where is he now? Has the money been repaid? How much is it still missing?"
He glanced at her, took a cigarette in his mouth, and his lips moved slightly: "On the plane back to Johannesburg, I have already paid the money I owed, plus interest." This house is not sold for more than 90 million yuan, do you think I still want to count on your old house to make a windfall?"
