Ma Lan opened the door, ready to argue, when he spotted Charlie Wade standing outside. His grumpy face lit up with joy as he exclaimed, “Oh, good son-in-law! When did you come back? Why didn’t you say hello?”
Charlie smiled and replied, “I didn’t want to worry you by announcing my arrival.”
Ma Lan grinned and said, “I know! You must be trying to surprise Churan!”
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Churan walked towards the door and asked, “Mom, is Charlie back?”
Ma Lan quickly turned and called out, “Daughter, our good son-in-law is here! Come quickly!”
As he spoke, he noticed a waiter pushing a luggage cart behind Charlie. The cart held three suitcases, and Ma Lan excitedly asked, “Good son-in-law, I remember you didn’t have any luggage when you left. Why do you have so much stuff now? Is it a gift for Mom?”
Charlie smiled and said, “Most of it is souvenirs from friends, but I also brought a small gift for you.”
Ma Lan’s excitement grew at the mention of a gift. He knew that Charlie was doing well and often made generous gifts. He thought to himself, “Whatever Charlie gives, it must be something worth over 100,000 yuan!”
Meanwhile, Charlie led the waiter into the presidential suite and asked him to set the luggage down. After the waiter carefully placed the bags, Charlie took out a $100 bill and handed it to him. The waiter thanked him and left.
Just then, Xiao Churan arrived.
When Charlie Wade arrived, he was greeted by his wife, Xiao Churan, who exclaimed joyfully, “Husband! Why didn’t you say hello when you came back? I wanted to pick you up at the airport!”
Charlie smiled back and replied, “I didn’t want to tell you in advance because I knew you’d be thinking about it the whole time my plane was in the air. I wanted to surprise you!”
Xiao Churan’s face lit up with happiness, but she added, “I’d rather drive to the airport to pick you up than have surprises like this. Next time, please tell me in advance, okay?”
Charlie nodded with a grin, “Of course, next time I will.”
Then, he reached into his suitcase and pulled out two necklaces he had bought on Hong Kong Island. He handed one jewelry box to Xiao Churan and the other to her mother, Ma Lan. “Churan, Mom, this is a little gift from my trip. Go ahead and open it!”
Ma Lan eagerly took her box and, upon seeing the Bulgari logo, realized it must be valuable. She exclaimed, “Oh, it’s mine! A great son-in-law like you is the best! You always choose big names, like Hermes or Bulgari. Will you get me a Van Cleef & Arpels piece next time?”
Charlie was surprised by Ma Lan’s playful joke. It was clear she really wanted some Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.
With a smile, he replied, “Since you like Van Cleef & Arpels, I’ll make sure to buy you something next time I go out to look at Feng Shui.”
Ma Lan clapped her hands in delight but said politely, “Oh, good son-in-law, I know you’re very thoughtful, but…”
“I can’t believe how much you’re spending! That Van Cleef & Arpels necklace is ridiculously expensive. The classic four-leaf clover necklace costs over $400,000! I really wish I had that kind of money!”
Xiao Churan, who was listening, quickly spoke up, “Mom! Can you please stop being so materialistic? Why do you want Charlie to buy you something so pricey from Van Cleef & Arpels?”
Ma Lan replied with a hint of sadness, “I didn’t mean it like that. I just think their products are too expensive and not worth it at all. A practical person like me wouldn’t really want something so extravagant!”
