Chapter 482: Chapter 482: Not a Penny Left_1
Mo Han returned home to find his mother-in-law, Yang Meifeng, standing at the front door, hands on hips, directing Luo Shanchuan and Luo Ning as they cleared out the home’s belongings.
"Mo Han, help your dad and move the TV into the box," Yang Meifeng started ordering as soon as she saw Mo Han arriving. "And," she continued, "make sure you also pack up all the chairs and tables. We’re moving first thing in the morning."
Uh...
A bundle of black lines seemed to form over Mo Han’s head as he said with a wry face, "Mom, the Platinum Ray mansion already has TVs, chairs, tables, and all that."
"We just need to bring some clothes and move in with bags in hand."
Luo Shanchuan, who had long been working impatiently, chimed in at his son-in-law’s statement. "Right? I’ve said it before—that place is a villa; how could it not have those things? What’s the point of taking all this stuff there?"
Luo Ning also walked over, her face expressing helplessness. "Mom, we don’t have to bring these appliances and furniture..."
Yang Meifeng retorted, "What do you know! I’ve seen that villa; it’s huge. Without putting some furniture in it, it would just feel empty and desolate."
"But Mom," Luo Ning interjected, "the villa has its own interior design and matching furniture. If you move all these old antiques there, it’ll look awkward—you know, neither here nor there."
Luo Ning, a design student sensitive to interior decor and matching furniture, couldn’t keep her composure upon hearing her mother wanted to move all the household belongings.
Stubborn as she was, Yang Meifeng believed that due to the large number of rooms and spacious area, the house would look bad if left empty, which led her to want to transfer everything.
"Awkward? What’s awkward about it?" Yang Meifeng retorted with a snort. "I think it looks just fine. When we have guests over, they’ll have a place to sit."
The truth was, Yang Meifeng’s eagerness to move was partly driven by her desire to show off to people like Manager Wang and Liu Chunling.
You all mocked me back then, despising my family’s poverty, didn’t you?
Fine, now I’ll invite you over to see the luxurious house I live in!
Luo Ning sighed in resignation and said, "Mom, if you move everything out, what if I need to move back in someday?"
"Move back in? Who would want to move back in!"
Yang Meifeng replied with disdain, "This dump, with its tiny rooms, poor landscaping, and low-class neighbors—who’d want to live here? Pack up everything quickly."
Seeing her mother remain stubborn, Luo Ning felt both angry and annoyed, but Mo Han remained remarkably calm, "Let it be, Ning’er. Since mom wants everything moved, let’s just move it."
"There are indeed many rooms there; after we move, we’ll just put all these pieces of furniture in one room."
"I guess that’s the only option..." Luo Ning sighed, resigned.
At this moment, Mo Xiaochen appeared, carrying a small box of doll toys. "Daddy, can Chen Chen take these with her?"
Mo Han smiled gently, patting his daughter’s head, "Of course, you can."
"Whatever our Chen Chen wants to take, she can take. Daddy has specially kept a room for your toys there, where all your new toys can be stored."
Chen Chen had always played with her toys in a cramped room or living room. Sometimes when other children came over to play with Chen Chen, they had to resort to playing downstairs due to lack of space.
"Yay! Finally, Chen Chen has her own room."
Hearing her dad say he had reserved a room for her toys, Mo Xiaochen jumped in delight, even her voice filled with joy.
Elsewhere, at the Xiao Family villa, peace reigned.
Luo Yuantu sat in a wheelchair, his gaze blankly fixed on the scenery outside the window.
The sun was setting, and the sky was dimming with the coming of dusk.
"Luo’s Group is gone," Luo Yuantu sighed heavily, his eyes filled with desolation.
"Dad, don’t be like this. Our Luo Family still has hope," his daughter, Luo Zitong, pushed the wheelchair, a hopeful look in her eyes. "Grandma has gone to Hengfeng Bank, right? She still has over twenty million in savings there. With that money, we can manage well and surely rise again."
His wife, Chen Guihua, also spoke up in encouragement. "Yes, Mom hasn’t lived a life free of great storms. With her around, our Luo’s Group can surely rise again."
"Let’s hope," Luo Yuantu replied, his head lowered in a somewhat dejected manner.
It wasn’t that he had little faith in his mother; rather, the predicament of the Luo family was dire.
With the severance of relations with Shengtian Group and Luo Group falling into the hands of others, his currently disabled state, his mother’s advanced age, and Xuan Ran and Zi Tong unable to shoulder heavy responsibilities—he felt they had neither the people nor the resources needed.
Reviving Luo’s Group would be far more than just difficult.
Creak...
Just then, the front door opened.
Luo Xuanran walked in, supporting the elderly lady.
"Mom!"
"Grandma!"
Luo Zitong and Chen Guihua, pushing Luo Yuantu’s wheelchair forward, eagerly asked, "How did it go? Did you get the money?"
The old lady offered a bitter smile and shook her head.
Seeing her expression, Chen Guihua immediately lost her cool. "Mom! What do you mean? You didn’t get the money?"
"Didn’t you say you had bonds at Hengfeng Bank worth over twenty million that could be cashed any time? How could you not have gotten the money?" she demanded, her brow furrowing and voice growing stern.
"Mom, you’re not thinking of keeping that money for yourself, are you?"
"Impudent!"
The old lady, already troubled, saw her daughter-in-law questioning her and raised her cane to strike, but Chen Guihua quickly dodged.
Luo Yuantu promptly asked his son, "Xuan Ran, what exactly happened? Tell me."
"Dad, just don’t ask; it’s infuriating!"
Luo Xuanran was fuming, his eyes bulging, "At first when Grandma and I went to Hengfeng Bank, we’d already exchanged the bonds and deposited the money into the account. But who could have expected!
"Chen Xinfan, that bank president, actually showed up at Hengfeng Bank with people, producing our loan papers, and as a result, the money was taken back by Chen Xinfan..."
"Grandma’s account is left with not a single penny!"
"Even the taxi fare back home was paid by me using my Huabei credit..."
