Chapter: 3076
Xiao Churan wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled. “There’s a lot of food here, but it doesn’t look overwhelming. Since it’s your birthday dinner, I wanted to make it a bit special. It’s not hard work at all!”
Xiao Changkun chuckled, “Charlie Wade, how about we have a drink?”
Charlie Wade nodded, “Of course! I’ll go grab some wine from the storage room.”
Ma Lan quickly added, “Charlie Wade, please bring a bottle of red wine. Chu Ran and I want to join you for a drink too.”
“Sure!” Charlie Wade replied, turning to Xiao Churan. “Wife, can you drink?”
Xiao Churan smiled and nodded. “I can, but we need to be careful. If we both drink, we won’t be able to drive to the concert later.”
Charlie Wade said, “It’s fine. I know how to get rid of the alcohol quickly.”
Xiao Churan chuckled, “That’s just talk! It takes more than ten hours to metabolize alcohol. It’s important to stick to the rule of not drinking and driving. We can’t take that risk.”
Although Charlie Wade could actually metabolize alcohol quickly using his aura, he knew his wife wouldn’t believe him. So, he simply smiled and said, “You’re right, wife. Let’s enjoy our drinks and call a car when it’s time to go to the concert.”
“That’s a better plan!” Xiao Churan said happily. “It doesn’t matter if we don’t drive today. Gu Qiuyi’s concert will be packed with at least tens of thousands of people.”
“Parking at the venue will definitely be a hassle. It’s better if we take a taxi and just wait for the concert to end. After that, you can walk home from the stadium. It should take about 30 to 40 minutes, just like a nice stroll,” suggested Charlie Wade.
He nodded and smiled, “Okay, I’ll go with your plan.”
Xiao Changkun quickly added with a grin, “Oh, my son-in-law, when you go down, please remember to grab two bottles of good Moutai. I’ve been craving it for days!”
Charlie Wade replied with a smile, “Sure, let’s get the best Moutai!”
Ma Lan jumped in, “Charlie, the best Moutai we have costs hundreds of thousands per bottle. It would be a waste to give it to Xiao Changkun. You should take the best for yourself and just give him a second-best bottle.”
Xiao Changkun protested, looking disappointed. “Ma Lan, what do you mean? It all goes into the stomach! Why is it wasteful in my stomach?”
Ma Lan rolled her eyes. “Go look in the mirror! Just look at your old face! Do you really think you’re worth drinking hundreds of thousands of bottles of Moutai? If word gets out that you did, the value of Moutai would drop immediately!”
Xiao Changkun waved his hand in frustration, jumping in place. “You are so infuriating! You’re driving me crazy!”
Ma Lan responded seriously, “I’m just being honest with you. They say a good horse deserves a saddle, but you’re more like a worn-out donkey. You don’t even deserve a proper saddle, just a donkey cover! So maybe you shouldn’t drink at all.”
“Such expensive Moutai! You could just go to the supermarket and buy a bottle of Erguotou for only a few dollars. You’re really asking for it!”
Xiao Changkun held his heart and said to Charlie Wade and Xiao Churan, “Today is Charlie Wade’s birthday, but your mother is driving me crazy! This birthday reminds me of my death anniversary! I’m sorry, son-in-law, but I’m really upset!”
Xiao Churan felt frustrated and replied, “Mom, can you please just stop? If Dad spends hundreds of thousands on skincare, wouldn’t you have something to say about that? Why are you always nagging him?”
Xiao Changkun perked up and exclaimed, “Exactly! Ma Lan! You think my old face isn’t worthy of expensive Moutai, but what about your face? Is it worth hundreds of thousands in skincare? We’re a couple, after all. If I’m the donkey, then you’re the mule. Who’s better?”
Ma Lan was furious and shouted, “You old mule! Do you really think you can compare yourself to me? Look at your face, it’s all wrinkled like a Shar Pei! My skin is tender, white, and smooth! How can you even say you’re equal to me?”
Xiao Changkun, annoyed, turned to Charlie Wade and said, “See? I told you that spending so much on skincare for her is a waste. It’d be better to put those products on a dog than on her face! You should have listened to me and just bought her a fake set. She wouldn’t even know the difference!”
