When Chen Liping heard that the food was ready, she immediately enthusiastically invited Ye Chen's family of three to the restaurant.
At this time, there was a man in his sixties who was busy arranging dishes in the restaurant. After Chen Liping introduced him, this man was her husband, Man Jinshan.
The young man who just went to invite them to dinner is Chen Liping's son, named Man Yingjie.
Man Jinshan was very enthusiastic. After inviting the family of three to sit down at the dinner table, he asked Ye Chen with a smile: "What kind of wine does Xiaoye like to drink? I have red wine and Maotai here."
Ye Chen said politely: "I'm sorry, Uncle Man, I still have to drive, so I won't drink."
Man Jinshan was not angry after hearing this, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just don't drink while driving."
After saying that, he looked at his son Man Yingjie and said, "Yingjie, if you have nothing else to do tonight, can we have some drinks?"
Man Yingjie smiled and nodded: "Then drink some."
Chen Liping quickly warned: "You two drink less."
The father and son agreed wholeheartedly, and then Man Yingjie took out a bottle of Moutai, opened it eagerly, and poured a glass for himself and his father each.
It was obvious that both father and son were addicted to alcohol, so from the moment the wine bottle was opened and the aroma of wine wafted out, they seemed a little unable to hold back.
However, although the two of them were greedy for wine, neither of them picked up their glasses, but could not help but look at Chen Liping.
At this time, Chen Liping smiled and said to Ma Lan: "Ma Lan, let's stop drinking and start driving!"
Ma Lan didn't like drinking, so she readily agreed.
While eating, Chen Liping thought of something and said to Ma Lan, "Ma Lan, what day did you fly in?"
Ma Lan hurriedly said: "The flight is on Sunday night."
Chen Liping said hurriedly: "Oh, I have a sister who seems to be going back to China for the weekend, and she also left from New York. Maybe you two can be companions."
Ma Lan asked in surprise: "Really? It would be great if I could really be a companion. I will be annoying anyone to death on this journey for more than ten hours. It is best to have someone to talk to and chat with."
Chen Liping took out her mobile phone and said, "I asked her. A few days ago she said she was going back to China recently. I happened to ask her to bring something back to my dad. I even made a special trip to New York for this.
The things were sent to her."
With that said, Chen Liping added: "I'll ask her what her flight number is and whether it's the same flight as yours. If so, I'll send you her contact information and contact her when you arrive in New York.
It’s time to keep each other company.”
Ma Lan naturally agreed and said with a smile: "Then ask her, my flight number is cx845, I have to fly to Hong Kong Island first and then transfer."
Chen Liping kept tapping on her fingertips and said, "Okay, let me ask her for you. If it's the same flight, you can go together. If she is going back to Guangdong Province, there is a high probability that she will also go to Hong Kong Island to transfer."
Soon, Chen Liping handed the phone to Ma Lan and said with a smile: "Oh, look, she is also on this flight!"
Ma Lan took a closer look and found that on the chat page, the other party had indeed replied to Chen Liping with a line that read cx845.
She couldn't help but said in surprise: "Oh my God, this is such a coincidence."
"Yes." Chen Liping said with a smile: "This sister is very powerful. Their family specializes in import and export trade between China and the United States. They are worth several billion. If you get to know her, she may be helpful to you in the future.
"
Ma Lan was overjoyed and said: "That's great. Sister Chen, go back and push her WeChat business card to me, and I'll add her."
"Okay." Chen Liping nodded and said, "Eat first, and I'll tell her after dinner."
At this time, Man was near the mountain, and Man Yingjie and his son had already started to exchange cups for cups.
Both of them seemed to like drinking. The father picked up the glass and asked his son to take one away. As soon as they finished drinking and put down the glasses, the son picked up the wine glass again and wanted to take one away with his father.
Man Yingjie's wife didn't care at all. She was playing with her mobile phone and eating by herself. She rarely spoke during this period.
However, what made Ye Chen feel uncomfortable was that although Man Yingjie had been drinking, his eyes were always looking for opportunities to glance at his wife Xiao Churan.
Moreover, the look in his eyes showed that he had evil intentions at first sight.
Ye Chen couldn't help but give a warning look in his eyes, and Man Yingjie finally restrained himself a little.
What's strange is that Man Yingjie's wife occasionally raises her head to pick up food, and she can also see her husband stealing glances at Xiao Churan from time to time.
However, Ye Chen did not see any form of obstruction from her.
Normally, in this situation, even if his wife cannot be angry with her husband in public, she will at least give him a look to warn him, or give him a little gesture under the table to make him restrain himself.
But this Sun Huina didn't seem to care who Man Yingjie was looking at, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
As a result, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a little strange. Ma Lan and Chen Liping were chatting enthusiastically, Man Jinshan, Man Yingjie and his son were drinking enthusiastically, while Sun Huina was just playing with her mobile phone, leaving Ye Chen and Xiao Churan looking at each other.
After finally finishing the meal, Ma Lan and Chen Liping chatted for a while, then reluctantly prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Before leaving, Ma Lan did not forget to remind Chen Liping: "Sister Chen, remember to push your friend's WeChat account to me later."
Chen Liping smiled and said, "Okay, I'll pass it on to you right now."
Then, he told Ye Chen: "Drive slowly on Xiaoye Road and pay attention to safety."
Ye Chen nodded and thanked him, then started the car and left Chen Liping's house.
On the way, Ye Chen said to Ma Lan: "Mom, why do I feel that Aunt Chen's family is so weird?"
"Is there any?" Ma Lan said, "I don't think there's anything strange about it."
Xiao Churan on the side couldn't help but said: "Mom, I do find it strange, but I can't explain why it is strange. You should avoid interacting with them in the future."
Ma Lan said: "Hey, I'm going back to China soon. Maybe I won't have a chance to see her again. Even if I want to have more contact with her, I won't have a chance."
Xiao Churan thought of something and warned again: "After you return to China, even if she wants to take you to trade stocks, you must not agree. The U.S. stock market is very deep. It is possible to lose 90% in one day. Can you
Don’t buy indiscriminately.”
"Okay, okay, Mom knows!"
As Ma Lan spoke, she already had an idea in her mind. She planned to sell the necklace immediately after returning, convert the money into US dollars, open a US stock account and learn to trade stocks from Chen Liping.
The experience of spending all her money this time and being forced to come to the United States made her understand one thing: one cannot be without money at any time. Otherwise, even if you live in a Tomson boutique or drive a Rolls-Royce, you will not be able to afford food.
Still can't eat.
Therefore, she is now eager to accumulate some capital for herself so that she will be more confident in the future.
However, she would definitely not say that in front of her daughter, so she casually said: "I'm just curious to ask. Don't worry, I won't trade in stocks. That kind of thing is just cutting leeks."
Xiao Churan nodded and said happily: "Mom, it's good that you know, but don't have any dreams of getting rich overnight!"
