Huo Lan knew that Gu Qiyang had been traveling between Kyoto and Penang in the past few months. This was actually a private matter of the Huo family, but in the end it was all handled by Gu Qiyang alone.
"It's up to you, let's go."
With that said, the group of people got off the plane and walked out of the airport through the VIP channel.
"Mr. Xiao, madam, old madam, it's been a hard journey."
Gu Qiyang personally came to pick up Xiao Yihe and the others. It was a commercial car and it didn't seem crowded at all.
After getting in the car, Xiao Yihe asked.
"Is everything sorted over there?"
"Yes, Mr. Xiao, everything has been cleaned inside and out, and the furniture has been re-arranged according to your requirements."
Huo Lan, who was sitting in the back row, heard the conversation between Xiao Yihe and Gu Qiyang and asked in confusion.
"What furniture? You don't own property here, do you?"
She has been married to Xiao Yihe for more than a year, and she doesn’t know much else, but she knows that Xiao Yihe has a hobby, which is to buy real estate in various places. Every time they go to a city, they basically don’t stay in hotels, and Xiao Yi is available in the local area.
He's real estate.
Hearing Huo Lan's words, Xiao Yihe smiled slightly and said mysteriously.
"You'll know when you get there."
After saying that, he winked at Gu Qiyang, and then Gu Qiyang drove away from the airport.
Penang Airport is located in the suburbs of Penang. It took us almost 40 minutes to drive to the center of Penang City. Huo Lan has not been back here for more than four years. Now she has returned to the place where she grew up.
Lan felt extremely strange.
Great changes have taken place in the past four years. There are more high-rise buildings in the city center, the roads are wider, and there are more and more cars on the road.
But when she saw a tall building in the distance, a strong chill filled her body.
"Lan Lan, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Huo on the side noticed Huo Lan's change and held her hand worriedly. Xiao Yihe in front turned her head after hearing this and saw Huo Lan staring at a building in the distance outside the car. He followed his gaze and said,
Said gently.
"Don't worry, in a few days, the Tucson Properties brand will be on that building again."
That's right, that's the headquarters of Wanhui Real Estate. In the busiest city center of Penang, a nearly thirty-story building looks particularly eye-catching.
Hearing Xiao Yihe's voice, Huo Lan's coldness gradually dissipated. Then, looking at this strange city, it seemed that she could no longer find the memory of the past. She looked around and asked.
"Where was the old Tucson Estate? I remember it was in that area."
"Madam, Penang has been under construction in the past few years. The land formerly occupied by Tucson Properties has been completely demolished. It is now a residential area. I checked, because at that time Tucson Properties had been acquired by Wanhui Properties, so the demolition
All the compensation was transferred to the name of Wanhui Real Estate, and a piece of land in the western suburbs was also compensated, which is still idle."
Hearing this, Huo Lan smiled coldly and said.
"Wanhui Real Estate is quite good at picking up bargains. I remember that Tucson Real Estate's building had about fifteen floors at the time and covered an area of about 20,000 square meters. This compensation is quite large."
"Don't worry, I will make them spit out every penny they have spent over the years. What they received from Tucson Properties in the past will only be repaid in double amounts."
Xiao Yihe said firmly, not to mention dealing with a mere Wanhui Real Estate, just talking about the big bosses in Penang recently, I am afraid they can't sleep at night, always worried about falling from that position, Xiao Yihe wants to let him
These people feel terrified.
The car continued to drive, and after about twenty minutes, they had passed through the busiest neighborhood. Now both sides of the road were residential areas. The old and shabby houses in the impression were gone and turned into buildings.
Brand new high-rises or rows of luxurious villas.
At this time, Huo Lan felt a sense of familiarity. Wasn't this the road she had to pass every day to go to and from school? Especially the familiar school plaque in the distance, that was the school where she had lived for nine years.
"This is……"
At this time, Mrs. Huo also seemed a little excited. Five or six minutes' drive from this school was the earliest villa group in this area, and Huo Lan's former home was here.
Wanhe Court, Tucson Real Estate's most proud real estate business card at the time, consisted of 288 villas. When this villa area was launched, it attracted countless wealthy people in Penang. It can be said that those who could afford to live in Wanhe Court at that time
People, they are all prominent local figures.
"Yihe, you..."
At this time, Huo Lan had already thought of a possibility, but she still couldn't believe it. After all, more than five years had passed and the villa already had a new owner.
At this time, Gu Qiyang opened his mouth.
"The president told me that I must buy this villa. The president said that this is the place where my wife has lived since she was a child. When she returns to Penang in the future, she can't live without a home. In order for the seller to transfer this villa, we are very high-skilled."
We paid 30% of the market price to get it, and Mr. Xiao also promised the other party to become Yaoyuan Real Estate's long-term supplier."
When Huo Lan heard this, her nose was already sore with excitement. If there were not two children in the car, she would have burst into tears.
When their father passed away and creditors came to visit, mother and daughter sold all their assets, leaving only this house in the end.
Huo Lan thought at that time that she would keep this last house no matter what, because it contained all her memories, and she didn't want to lose even the last thing related to her father.
But later, her mother became seriously ill and her creditors pressed for debt. Huo Lan couldn't afford it, so she had to sell the only property she owned and left this sad place with her mother. She never came back after that.
Now, when Huo Lan sets foot on this familiar place again and looks at the withered sycamores on both sides of the road, she thinks of her favorite passing by here every summer, because the dense sycamores can shield her from the summer heat.
.
The car drove slowly into Wanhe Garden. The place seemed to have not changed at all. Except for the trees on both sides of the road being taller, everything else was so familiar.
Sixty-eight, when she saw the familiar house number, Huo Lan finally couldn't stand it any longer and burst into tears.
The car slowly stopped. The familiar villa and the familiar yard were all gone, but her favorite pavilion was gone. There were no flowers that bloomed all year round in the garden, replaced by a flat grassland.
Xiao Yihe got out of the car first, opened the door for Huo Lan, took Xiao Jinyue from her arms, and then helped her out of the car with one hand.
"I don't know what it was like when you lived there before, so I asked Qiyang to decorate it a little according to your preferences. Let's go and take a look first. If you have other ideas in the future, feel free to do it. This is it.
We are at home in Penang.”
With that said, Xiao Yihe had already taken Huo Lan's hand and walked towards the villa. Behind her, Mrs. Huo looked at this familiar house as if it was a lifetime ago. She never dreamed that she would be able to return here in this life.
Mrs. Huo had been here last time when she came back to visit relatives, but there were other people living here at that time. She didn't even dare to get close and could only take a look from a distance.
Now, when she came back here again, Mrs. Huo's mood was not much better than Huo Lan's, with tears streaming down her face and she couldn't stop crying.
"Civilization, have you seen it? Lan Lan and I are back, and we are back in the house you built."
Mrs. Huo shouted loudly to the sky, all the grievances and longings of the past years poured out at this moment.
"Mom, we went home, we are back again."
Huo Lan came over and hugged Mrs. Huo. Mother and daughter didn't care about anything at this moment, they only cried loudly. The pain they had carried in their hearts for many years would no longer have to be suppressed like this.
Xiao Yihe stayed by his side, while Gu Qiyang brought the two children into the villa. After about ten minutes, Huo Lan and her daughter's mood finally stabilized, and Xiao Yihe came over.
"Let's go and take a look inside. We're going to stay here for a while this time. When it's empty, you can find a decoration company to renovate this place."
"Husband, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me."
At this time, Huo Lan couldn't think of anything else to say except thank you. Xiao Yihe hugged Huo Lan with a distressed expression and said softly.
"Honey, there is no need to say thank you between us. I know that you and your mother-in-law have been feeling uncomfortable. I am doing this in the hope that you can let go of the past and not always live in the pain of the past."
Huo Lan nodded. She thought she hid it well, but she didn't expect Xiao Yihe knew everything.
I like the boss who pursues marriage: Madam, where can I run?
