Ma Lan returned to the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel. The first thing he said to Xiao Churan and Ye Chen: "Churan, good son-in-law, will you two have anything to do tomorrow night?"
Xiao Churan asked curiously: "What's wrong with mom?"
Ma Lan explained: "Mom has a very speculative sister in the rampage team. She said she wanted to invite our family of three to her home as a guest. This sister has been in the United States for many years and has not made many close friends. How about that
It is easy to meet me, a soulmate who can be talked to in all aspects, but I am leaving soon. Before leaving, I went to her house for a meal, which was also considered to be her practice for me.”
Xiao Churan immediately asked in surprise: "Mom... can you still find a soulmate who can be very talked about?"
Ma Lan curled her lips: "Oh, look at what you said, don't you have friends? Then, your Aunt Zhao, your Aunt Sun, and your Aunt Liu, have you all had a good relationship with me?"
Xiao Churan asked awkwardly: "Do they have a good relationship with you? How do I remember that you often play mahjong together and go to the beauty salon together, but later they broke up for some reason."
Ma Lan was a little embarrassed in an instant and waved his hand in a hurry: "Those are all old calendars, so it's better not to mention them!"
In fact, the reason why Ma Lan's friends broke up was because she stole Ye Chen's bank card and transferred the money away. She felt that she suddenly became rich and instantly looked down on those old sisters.
.
At that time, Ma Lan was still hurting them on the phone, but unexpectedly, after that, he went to the detention center and experienced life within the high wall for several days.
Ma Lan, for a long time, can be said to be the master of Chinese shrews.
First of all, he is extremely snobbish. Whoever has money is his father. No matter whether the money can be spent on him or not, he will just lick him first.
She has been following Mrs. Xiao and Qian Hongyan’s butts for so many years. In the first three years when Ye Chen and Xiao Churan married, she has always wanted Xiao Churan to divorce Ye Chen and marry another rich man.
, is the best portrayal of her character.
In addition, Ma Lan is also extremely narrow-minded. A brief summary of six words is: "Hate someone, but laugh at someone without him."
So, Ma Lan really has never made any close friends.
Although Xiao Churan is not very smart, she naturally knows her mother very well. She always feels that people like her mother have nothing to do with the word "meaning and friends".
At this time, Ma Lan also knew that his daughter was questioning her reasons, so she said unnaturally: "Churan, you can't look at your mother and me like before. You have to look at your mother from a developmental perspective. Mom did not before.
It’s so easy to get along with. Whether it’s with those friends or Ye Chen, they are not so happy, but don’t you think that mother is in a process that keeps getting better now?”
As he said that, Ma Lan continued excitedly: "Tell me, what is my attitude towards Ye Chen now? I wish I could open my heart!"
Seeing that his mother was a little excited, Xiao Churan nodded quickly and said, "Mom, you are right, it's because my vision cannot keep up with the development..."
After saying that, she quickly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, mom, what is your sister doing?"
Ma Lan hurriedly said: "They just immigrated with their son and daughter-in-law and help them see their children here."
Then, Ma Lan explained: "By the way, this sister and mother are still fellow villagers! Her hometown is not far from your grandmother's house.
Xiao Churan nodded and said, "Mom, Ye Chen and this aunt don't know each other either. It's not appropriate to go to someone's house to be a guest. And you also know Ye Chen's personality. He doesn't love socializing so much.
Or you can go by yourself.”
"How can that be..." Ma Lan said seriously: "Mom has agreed with others that this is a gathering between the two families. The older generation knows each other, and the younger generation also gets to know each other and gets to know each other.
Friends, these days, there are many friends and many roads."
As he said that, Ma Lan said solemnly: "You two can't let your mother break her promise no matter what you say!"
Xiao Churan looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Husband, what do you think..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Since mom has agreed with others, it is really not appropriate for us not to go."
Ma Lan nodded quickly and blurted out: "At the critical moment, I have to be my good son-in-law!"
After saying that, she rang the railway while it was hot: "Then it's decided to do this. Let's go there together at 6 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Churan, you will take your class normally tomorrow. Good son-in-law will go with me to buy some gifts.
, It's the first time we're visiting someone's house, so it's hard to go empty-handed."
Seeing that Ye Chen had agreed, Xiao Churan didn't know how to say anything else, so he nodded and said, "Okay then."
...
The next afternoon.
Ma Lan called Ye Chen and drove around the city center of Providence.
Ma Lan picked up and picked out many gift shops, and finally, at Ye Chen's suggestion, he bought a set of exquisite tableware worth hundreds of dollars as a souvenir.
Ye Chen felt that when you visit your home as an ordinary friend, the souvenirs must not be too expensive, otherwise it will not appear so pure.
Ma Lan also knew that Sister Chen's family was well-off at first glance, and she was definitely not a person who was short of money, so the high and low things were not that important, and it was mainly just a thought.
At half past five, the two of them went to the school gate to pick up Xiao Churan. Then Ye Chen drove to the community where the other party lived according to the positioning sent by Ma Lan.
The destination is about ten kilometers away from the city center, but the road conditions are very good, so the driving is very fast, and it took about twenty minutes to complete the journey.
This community is in Providence and is a very high-end community. The buildings in the entire community are very loose, and the exterior, greening and roads are well maintained.
In addition, there are police cars parked on duty on the side of the main road in and out of the community. In the United States, the communities that allow police to protect on duty are extraordinary, because police duty is not free, on the contrary, the price is very high.
It is so high that ordinary communities can’t afford it.
Ye Chen followed the navigation and parked the car in front of a very sophisticated three-story villa.
At this time, the door inside the low fence opened, and a woman of similar age as Ma Lan, who was very scheming with Ma Lan, came out from the door.
When she saw Ma Lan, Sister Chen said happily: "Oh Ma Lan, you're here!"
After saying that, she saw Ye Chen and Xiao Churan get out of the car, and smiled and said, "These two are your daughters and sons-in-law, right? Welcome, come and sit in the house!"
Sister Chen's enthusiasm made Ye Chen feel that she seemed a little deliberate.
However, Ye Chen didn't think much about it. After Ma Lan exchanged a few greetings with the other party, he followed her into the villa with Xiao Churan.
