Chapter: 3036

Charlie Wade felt a wave of emotion as he listened to Xiao Churan. It wasn’t because of Ma Lan’s attitude—she had always cared more about money than people. What truly touched him was Xiao Churan’s thoughtfulness.

Celebrating a birthday at home is definitely more meaningful than just going out to eat at a restaurant. Xiao Churan’s effort showed how much she valued his birthday. Over the years, even when things were tough for Charlie, and he felt unwelcome at home, Xiao Churan always remembered his birthday. She would secretly buy a cake and take him out to a simple restaurant for a quiet meal together.

Reflecting on this made Charlie feel grateful for everything Xiao Churan had done for him.

Then, Xiao Churan told him, “My husband, tomorrow I’ll be going to the old town. I’ll stop by the Emgrand Group construction site at noon. I’ll be back around four to get dinner ready. Make sure to eat lightly at lunch so you have room for a big dinner. After we celebrate your birthday, we’ll go to see Gu Qiuyi’s concert!”

Charlie smiled and nodded, “That sounds great! It’s a plan!”

After that, he glanced at the time and said, “Chu Ran, why don’t you watch TV with your parents for a bit? I’ll go take a shower.”

“Okay,” Xiao Churan replied.

As Charlie went upstairs, she turned to Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan and suggested, “Dad, Mom, let’s stay up with Charlie Wade until midnight. I used to wait until twelve to be the first to wish him a happy birthday. This year, the three of us can celebrate together.”

“Okay!” Ma Lan clapped his hands. “Let’s wait until twelve o’clock and wish my good son-in-law a happy birthday!”

Xiao Changkun nodded but sighed. “It’s been tough on Charlie Wade these past few years. I feel bad about how my dad treated him.”

Ma Lan thought for a moment and then said, “I wonder if my good son-in-law will get gifts from his customers on his birthday. Last time during the Chinese New Year, those people didn’t give much. The gifts were all over the place—some were nice, but others were just strange! It was really something to see!”

Xiao Churan sighed, “Mom… I’m a bit worried about those gifts Charlie Wade received. I hope they don’t do that again.”

Ma Lan waved her hand dismissively. “Why worry? My good son-in-law is now a Feng Shui master. Rich people love to honor Feng Shui masters and qigong masters. There was a famous qigong master who got billions in gifts from them. It’s incredible!”

Xiao Changkun frowned. “That guy was a fraud, though. Didn’t he get caught later?”

Ma Lan rolled her eyes. “That doesn’t matter for my good son-in-law. He has real talent in Feng Shui!”

She continued, “Remember, they even gave him a luxury yacht! My legs aren’t great, so I’ve never had the chance to go out on a yacht. I feel so regretful about that…”

Xiao Changkun spoke up, “

“The weather is still pretty chilly. How about taking a yacht to enjoy the northwest wind at sea? I want to wait until after the Ching Ming Festival to go,” said Ma Lan.

Her eyes brightened as she added, “That sounds great! After the Ching Ming Festival, my leg should be able to come out of the cast!”

Then, she turned to Xiao Churan and said quickly, “Churan, when the time comes, make sure to be bold and let your wonderful husband take us out on the yacht!”
