Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Selling Heirlooms_1

Outside the Luo Family Villa.

Old Lady Luo and Luo Yuantu, among others, stared blankly at their sealed home, their faces pale and unable to speak.

"Grandma, where do we go now? I’m so hungry."

Luo Xuanran hadn’t eaten anything since last night, and his stomach was growling with hunger.

In the past, he would have ordered takeout or driven to a nearby breakfast shop.

But now, his phone didn’t have a penny in it, and the luxury cars and designer clothes he had bought before were all taken away by Tao Pinggui’s men.

It wasn’t just Luo Xuanran who was without money; the other members of the Luo family had very little as well.

They now belonged to the category of executed dishonest individuals, owning no assets, and all high expenditures had been restricted.

Tao Pinggui even had his subordinates forcibly transfer all the money from the Luo family members’ WeChat Wallets, Alipay accounts, and related bank cards.

At this moment, saying they were penniless was not an exaggeration.

"Gurgle..."

Old Lady Luo’s stomach also betrayed her by rumbling; she held her cane tight and sighed deeply, "Alas! Such misfortune! Such misfortune!"

"It’s all that damn Chen Guihua’s fault. If she hadn’t run away with the money, our family wouldn’t be in this state now!"

"Yuantu, if you ever see that woman again, you must not let her off the hook!!"

Upon hearing his mother mention Chen Guihua, Luo Yuantu’s face darkened even more.

To be honest, he wasn’t too upset about Chen Guihua’s disappearance.

After all, a couple is like birds in the same forest, who fly their separate ways when disaster strikes.

But Chen Guihua’s wrongdoing was in transferring all the family’s money and mortgaging all the assets of Luo’s Group. Now, the Luo family was penniless and saddled with a mountain of debt.

Baihua Bank’s people came to settle accounts, and Tao Pinggui kicked them out of the Luo Family Villa.

Recalling the days he had spent with Chen Guihua, Luo Yuantu trembled with rage.

The happier the past was, the more miserable he felt now.

"Swindler! Swindler!"

Luo Yuantu raised his fist and waved it in the air. If Chen Guihua had been there, he would have lunged at her without hesitation and beaten her mercilessly.

Seeing grandma and father so angry, Luo Zitong sighed, "Grandma, Dad, what’s done is done, blaming Mom won’t help."

"Brother and I haven’t eaten since last night. We’re so hungry, can we find a place to eat first..."

"Eat? Do we even have money for food?"

Old Lady Luo exclaimed furiously, "All of us are listed as dishonest individuals, all the money in our phones and bank cards has been taken by Tao Pinggui, where am I supposed to find the money for food?"

Luo Yuantu held his forehead, lost in thought for a long time, then suddenly slapped his forehead in surprise, "Mom, do you remember when dad spent over a million at Yunfang Furniture to buy a set of mahogany furniture?"

"Back then you thought it was too expensive and asked dad to return it. Later, he lied to you that it was returned and had me put it in warehouse number two at the company."

"This warehouse is not in Luo Corporation’s Building but in a small, unattended shack outside, hardly visited by anyone, and not many of our own people know about it."

"I, Shan Chuan, and dad went to buy this set of mahogany furniture back then, and it cost us over a million. Now with the appreciation of the mahogany market, it could sell for at least a couple of hundred thousand more."

"How about this, let’s go to warehouse number two, sneak out the mahogany furniture, and sell it at a timber or antique market?"

Upon hearing her son mention the Yunfang furniture, Old Lady Luo then remembered that seven or eight years ago, before her partner had passed away, they indeed visited Yunfang Furniture with their two sons and ended up spending over a million and two hundred thousand on a set of redwood furniture.

At that time, Old Lady Luo had severely scolded her spouse, demanding that he immediately get rid of the purchase.

But this was a newly bought item and one that she liked very much, the redwood furniture; how could her old man be willing to part with it? So, he kept it a secret from Old Lady Luo and stored the furniture set in warehouse number two.

"Heh..."

Old Lady Luo shook her head, her face filled with bitterness.

Initially, she had insisted that her spouse return the redwood furniture, but she never expected that today, they would have to rely on that very set of redwood furniture to live.

"Dad, what are we waiting for then? Let’s hurry to warehouse number two!"

Luo Xuanran was so hungry that he immediately pulled his father along, saying, "If the court or Baihua Bank or Tao Pinggui find out, we won’t be able to keep this thing."

Luo Zitong nodded repeatedly, "Right! Even though a million isn’t a lot, we don’t have a single cent on us right now, and we have no way to live day by day. With that money, we could at least survive for a while."

Luo Yuantu hummed in agreement, turning his attention to his mother.

"It seems this is the only option we have left."

Old Lady Luo sighed deeply and said in a somber voice, "Then let’s do as Yuantu suggests, but that furniture is quite heavy, we’ll definitely need to hire a vehicle to get there; where do we have the money for that now?"

At this moment, all the Luo family members’ mobile phones and bank cards were without money, and as they were on the blacklist, they couldn’t even use basic services like V-chat, some payment apps, or credit cards.

Furthermore, Tao Pinggui had taken away all the luxury items belonging to all members of the Luo family; they were truly left with nothing—stripped down to the bone.

"Mom, Tao Pinggui had people search us just now, but they didn’t search you!"

Luo Yuantu looked at his mother somewhat awkwardly and said, "Don’t you still have a gold necklace inside your clothing? That thing weighs over twenty grams. With the current gold price of over four hundred, it could be sold for more than eight thousand. Even selling it at a twenty percent discount, we could get more than six thousand for it."

Old Lady Luo scolded, "No way! That necklace is an heirloom from your grandmother; how could I possibly sell it!"

Luo Yuantu said helplessly, "Mom, I know it’s grandma’s heirloom, but we have no other choice right now."

"Our whole family is struggling even to eat; what use is it to hold onto that gold necklace?"

Luo Xuanran also added, "Grandma, Dad’s right. Objects are inanimate, but people are living."

"We’ll use that necklace to get some money first, then buy some food and find a vehicle to haul away that redwood furniture. When we sell it for a million or two, we can redeem the necklace back, can’t we?"

Old Lady Luo knew her son and grandson had a point. She had been wearing her mother’s heirloom for all these years, and the thought of selling the necklace now deeply saddened her.

"Ah, ah, ah!"

She pounded her cane on the ground several times, venting her frustration.

In her view, all of this was the fault of her daughter-in-law Chen Guihua.

If Chen Guihua hadn’t run away with the money, why would they be in such a desperate situation, with nowhere to go and living in such abjection?

"Grandma, please, I’m so hungry."

Luo Zitong, seeing stars from hunger, could only plea while crying.

Luo Yuantu and Luo Xuanran also looked at Old Lady Luo with beseeching eyes, their expressions as pitiful as could be.

"Sell it! I’ll sell it!"

Old Lady Luo bit her lip tightly and placed her hands behind her neck, expertly unfastening a gold necklace with a peach heart pendant. She took a deep breath and said in a firm voice, "Let’s go, sell the necklace!"

This time, she wouldn’t trust anyone else; even after selling the necklace, the money would be kept by her own hands.
