Ma Lan returned to the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel. The first thing she said after entering was to ask Xiao Churan and Ye Chen: "Churan, good son-in-law, are you two busy tomorrow night?"
Xiao Churan asked curiously: "What's wrong, Mom?"
Ma Lan explained: "Mom has a very opportunistic sister in the Rage Team. She said she wanted to invite our family of three to her home. This sister has been coming to the United States from China for many years and has not made many close friends. So...
It’s easy to meet a close friend who I can talk to in all aspects, but I have to leave soon, and before I leave, I go to her house for a meal, which can be regarded as her practice for me.”
Xiao Churan was a little surprised and asked: "Mom... can you still find a close friend you can talk to?"
Ma Lan curled her lips: "Oh, look at what you said, don't you have any friends? Didn't your Aunt Zhao, your Aunt Sun, and your Aunt Liu all have a good relationship with me in the past?"
Xiao Churan asked awkwardly: "Do they have a good relationship with you? I remember that you always played mahjong and went to the beauty salon together, but then we broke up for some reason."
Ma Lan felt a little embarrassed for a moment and waved her hand in a hurry: "Those are all old almanacs, so don't mention them!"
In fact, the reason why Ma Lan and her friends broke up was because she stole Ye Chen's bank card and transferred the money away. She felt suddenly rich and instantly lost sight of those old sisters.
.
At that time, Ma Lan also insulted them on the phone. Unexpectedly, after that incident, she entered the detention center and experienced life behind the high wall for a few days.
Ma Lan can be said to be the master of Chinese shrews for a long time.
First of all, he is extremely snobbish. Whoever has money is the father. Regardless of whether the money can be spent on himself, he will kneel down and lick him first.
She has been following Mrs. Xiao and Qian Hongyan for so many years to please her. In the first three years before Ye Chen and Xiao Churan got married, she 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. To sum it up in six words: "There are people who hate people, but there are no people who laugh at people."
Therefore, Ma Lan really has never made any close friends.
Although Xiao Churan is not extremely smart, she naturally knows her mother very well, and she always feels that people like her mother have nothing to do with the words bosom friend and friend.
At this time, Ma Lan also knew the reason why her daughter doubted her, so she said unnaturally: "Churan, you can't look at your mother and me like you did before. You have to look at your mother from a developmental perspective. My mother really didn't do it before.
It's so easy to get along with, whether it's with those friends or Ye Chen, getting along is not that pleasant, but don't you think that mom is in a process of getting better now? "
As he spoke, Ma Lan continued with some excitement: "Tell yourself, what is my attitude towards Ye Chen now? I want to rip my heart out!"
Seeing that her mother was a little excited, Xiao Churan nodded quickly and said: "Mom, you are right, it's because I can't keep up with the development..."
After saying that, she quickly changed the subject and asked: "By the way, Mom, what does your sister do?"
Ma Lan said hurriedly: "They immigrated here with their sons and daughters-in-law, and help them take care of their children here."
Then, Ma Lan explained: "By the way, this sister and my mother are from the same hometown! Her hometown is not far from your grandma's house.
Xiao Churan nodded and said: "Mom, I don't know Ye Chen or this aunt either. It wouldn't be appropriate to visit someone else's house rashly. Besides, you know Ye Chen's character. He is not that social.
Or just go by yourself."
"How can that be done..." Ma Lan said seriously: "Mom has already agreed with me that this is a gathering of two families. The older generation will get to know each other, and the younger generation will also get to know each other and make friends.
Friends, these days, more friends means more paths."
After saying that, Ma Lan said solemnly: "You two can't say anything about this kind of thing to make mom break her promise!"
Xiao Churan looked at Ye Chen and asked: "Husband, what do you think..."
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Since Mom has already agreed with others, it is indeed inappropriate for us not to go."
Ma Lan nodded quickly and blurted out: "You must be my good son-in-law at the critical moment!"
After that, she struck while the iron was hot: "Then this matter is settled. Let's go there together at six o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Chu Ran, you can go to your classes as usual tomorrow, and my good son-in-law will go buy some gifts with me.
, it’s our first time to visit someone’s home, so it’s not good to go empty-handed.”
Seeing that Ye Chen had agreed, Xiao Churan couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and said, "Okay then."
…
The next day in the afternoon.
Ma Lan called Ye Chen and drove to the center of Providence for a walk.
Ma Lan shopped around in many gift shops, and finally, on Marven's suggestion, bought a set of exquisite tableware worth several hundred dollars as a souvenir.
Ye Chen felt that when visiting someone's home as an ordinary friend, the souvenirs must not be too expensive, otherwise they would not look so pure.
Ma Lan also knew that Sister Chen's family seemed to be well-off and not short of money, so the quality of things was not that important. The main thing was just the feelings.
At half past five, the two picked up Xiao Churan at the school gate, and then Ye Chen drove to the community where the other party lived according to the location the other party sent to Ma Lan.
The destination is about ten kilometers away from the city center, but the road conditions are very good, so the drive is very fast, and the whole journey only takes about twenty minutes.
This community is in Providence, a very high-end high-end community. The buildings in the entire community are very sparse, and the building appearance, greening and roads are all very well maintained.
In addition, there are police cars parked on the main road leading in and out of the community. In the United States, communities that have police on duty to protect them are very powerful, because police duty is not free. On the contrary, it costs a lot.
It’s so expensive that ordinary communities simply can’t afford it.
Ye Chen followed the navigation and parked the car in front of a very elegant three-story villa.
At this time, the door inside the low fence opened, and a woman about the same age as Ma Lan, the sister Chen who was very speculative with Ma Lan, came out to welcome her.
Seeing Ma Lan, Sister Chen said happily: "Oh Ma Lan, you are here!"
After saying that, she saw Ye Chen and Xiao Churan also getting out of the car, and said with a smile: "These two are your daughter and son-in-law, right? Welcome, come and sit in the house!"
Sister Chen's enthusiasm made Ye Chen feel that she seemed to be a little deliberate.
However, Ye Chen didn't think much about it. After Ma Lan exchanged a few words with the other party, he and Xiao Churan followed her into the villa.
