After finishing his speech, he turned to Charlie Wade and said, “Good son-in-law, I’m very pleased with your thoughtfulness. Just remember, don’t buy things carelessly!”
Charlie Wade smiled and nodded, replying, “Okay, Mom, I understand.”
Ma Lan’s face showed a hint of sadness, but she quickly turned her attention to the Van Cleef & Arpels article. She was eager to see what was in the jewelry box she held.
As she opened the box, she thought, “I just bought a Bulgari Emerald Goddess’ Dream Necklace a few days ago. I wonder what Charlie Wade picked out for me this time. If it’s a bracelet from the Emerald Goddess’ Dream, it would match my necklace perfectly!”
Excited about the possibility, she opened the box with anticipation.
What she saw made her pause in shock.
“This… this…” Ma Lan stared at the necklace lying quietly in the box. “Isn’t this the Emerald Goddess’ Dream necklace?”
When she realized it was the same necklace she had just bought before coming to the United States, disappointment washed over her.
She loved to impress others, and although the necklace was beautiful and expensive, receiving the same one again felt like a letdown.
Wearing two identical necklaces on different days would look like she was trying too hard. She couldn’t wear both at once, so to her, the necklace from Charlie Wade felt pointless.
Meanwhile, Charlie Wade had already noticed her reaction.
Ma Lan looked disappointed, so Charlie pretended to be surprised and said, “Mom, you know so much about this, but I remember the name very well!”
Ma Lan scoffed, “Hey, I’m just doing some research!”
She continued, “You two don’t know this, but my friend Qian Hongyan is so poor that she can barely afford food, yet she drags me to visit luxury stores every day. Honestly, if she didn’t talk my ear off, I wouldn’t remember so many brands.”
Xiao Churan quickly asked, “Mom, did you hang out with Qian Hongyan again?”
Ma Lan replied, “It’s not really hanging out. After you both left, I’ve been living alone in Tomson Yipin, and it gets really boring. Qian Hongyan keeps me company, and she has become much more honest lately, so we take some walks together.”
As she spoke, she looked at the Goddess’s Dream Necklace in her hand, feeling a wave of sadness wash over her.
Charlie Wade smiled to himself, realizing that his plan was working. It was clear that Ma Lan was feeling a bit lonely.
Xiao Churan, who hadn’t noticed anything strange about her mom, turned to Charlie and said, “Husband, thank you for the gift, but please don’t buy such expensive luxury items again. I’ve heard that luxury jewelry doesn’t hold its value well, and it feels wasteful.”
When Charlie heard “value retention,” an idea sparked in his mind. He glanced at Ma Lan and said, “It seems that this Goddess’s Dream necklace still has a good resale value in the second-hand market, especially if it comes with the original packaging and has been well taken care of.”
“With a new 20% off, we should be able to sell it,” Charlie Wade said confidently.
When Ma Lan heard this, her eyes lit up. She went from feeling down to being incredibly excited in an instant!
Suddenly, she turned to Xiao Churan and exclaimed, “Oh my girl, I’m feeling so homesick right now…”
