The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4451

During the flight, Ma Lan found it hard to sleep. She kept checking her Moments on her phone, but until the plane flew over the United States, she only saw one like and one comment from Qian Hongyan.

This made her want to throw her phone, but she had to face the truth. She tried to reassure herself, thinking, “Come on, how many true friends can you have? Most people are just nice but don’t really notice others! Hmph, if you don’t give me a compliment, it’s no big deal. I flew on a private jet to the U.S.—I don’t need your praise! It’s silly!”

Despite her thoughts, she opened her phone again. When she saw that there were still no more likes or comments, she felt even more frustrated. She tossed her phone aside and closed her eyes.

After more than ten hours, Ma Lan’s Gulfstream G650 finally landed at Providence Airport in the U.S. It was just after ten o’clock in the evening local time.

Charlie Wade and Xiao Churan had just finished watching Gu Qiuyi’s second concert in Boston and were driving back to Providence. Charlie had known about Ma Lan’s arrival for a while and got the message as soon as her plane landed.

He understood that Ma Lan wouldn’t want to let him and Xiao Churan know she arrived by private jet. So, she would likely wait until she got off the plane to reach out to Xiao Churan.

Charlie wasn’t worried about Ma Lan going through customs alone. After all, she had gone to university and should have basic English skills.

Half an hour later, Xiao Churan’s phone suddenly rang.

Xiao Churan was surprised when she picked up the phone and heard her mother, Ma Lan, excitedly say, “Chu Ran! It’s me! I’m in the United States!”

Xiao Churan couldn’t believe it. “Mom, when did you get here? Why didn’t you tell us you were coming?” she asked, trying to process the news.

Ma Lan replied with a smile, “I wanted to surprise you and Charlie Wade! Plus, the flight is so long. If I had told you, you would have worried about me. So, I just flew over!”

Xiao Churan was taken aback by how thoughtful her mother was being. It was a new side of Ma Lan that she hadn’t seen before. However, she didn’t realize that Ma Lan was actually worried about running out of money.

“Mom, where exactly are you? Is it the New York airport? Charlie Wade and I can come pick you up right now!” Xiao Churan asked eagerly.

“I’m not in New York,” Ma Lan said. “I’m in Providence!”

“Wait, what?” Xiao Churan exclaimed. “Did you come here on a special plane?”

Ma Lan quickly replied, “Yes! You said you wanted to fly to New York first, so I changed planes myself.”

Xiao Churan pressed on, “Did you go through customs? Did you finish the entry process?”

“It’s all done,” Ma Lan assured her. “I’m in the airport lobby. Can you come get me? If it’s too hard, I can take a taxi, but I didn’t exchange any money. I still have some coins the flight attendant gave me. You’ll have to pay for the taxi, okay?”

Xiao Churan didn’t think much before asking Charlie Wade, “Husband, Mom has arrived at the airport. How far are we from there? Is it easy to pick her up?”

Charlie looked at the navigation and replied, “It’s convenient. It’ll take us about ten minutes to get to the airport.”

Xiao Churan quickly called her mom, saying, “Mom, Charlie and I are on our way back. We’re only ten minutes away from you. If you can wait for us at the airport, we’ll come and pick you up!”

Ma Lan was thrilled and exclaimed, “Oh, that’s wonderful! I’ll wait for you here!”
