The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4659

With the money Charlie Wade gave her, Ma Lan bought a necklace called the Dream of the Goddess, which won her a grand prize of 1.2 million. She was surprised when Charlie gifted her an identical necklace. Now, if she sells this new necklace, it would be like getting it for free, plus she had enjoyed a luxurious private jet trip and a few days of fun in the United States.

Next, she was looking forward to spending two days in New York before heading home feeling satisfied. She couldn’t wait to return to her carefree life, which made her very happy.

In her good mood, Ma Lan was all smiles and couldn’t hide her joy. However, as she was smiling with her mouth open, she started to feel a bit dry and her breathing became uneven. This made it hard for her to keep pace with the group, and she began to lag behind.

Noticing this, Chen Liping, the vice-captain of the Rampage team and a Chinese woman living in the U.S., quickly came over. With a friendly smile, she asked, “Aiya Ma Lan, why are you falling behind so quickly today?”

Chen Liping, who was two years older than Ma Lan, was someone Ma Lan called Sister Chen. She had never worked in the U.S. because her son and daughter-in-law had started a business there. She and her husband lived with them to help take care of the children.

Interestingly, Sister Chen was from the same province as Ma Lan. Although they were from different cities, those cities were close to each other, which made them feel a connection.

Ma Lan usually had high standards and expectations, but meeting someone from her hometown made her feel a sense of camaraderie.

Ma Lan knew Sister Chen quite well. The reason was clear: Sister Chen’s style was far from ordinary. The glass floating flower bracelet on her wrist alone was worth at least four or five million. She also drove an expensive Porsche Cayenne, which cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Ma Lan had seen luxury items before, so she could tell that Sister Chen was very wealthy. Unlike herself, who lived in a fancy house and drove a nice car, those things didn’t belong to her. In reality, her actual savings were quite small.

Because of this, Ma Lan felt a little closer to Sister Chen.

When Sister Chen came to offer her condolences, Ma Lan said, “Oh, Sister Chen, I don’t know what’s wrong with me today. My mouth is so dry, and I feel more tired than usual.”

Sister Chen smiled and replied, “You need to remember to breathe through your nose and keep your mouth closed while walking. Adjusting your breathing will help you feel better.”

Ma Lan nodded and smiled back, “Okay, I’ll try to do that. You should go ahead with the group, don’t worry about me. I’ll just walk slowly.”

Sister Chen waved her hand and said, “No way! Our team’s motto is to stick together. I won’t let you get left behind. I’ll walk with you; my joints are a bit uncomfortable today, so I can’t go too fast either.”

Curious, Ma Lan asked, “What’s wrong with your joints, Sister Chen? Do you have arthritis?”

Sister Chen chuckled, “Oh, it’s just a minor issue. It usually gets better in a few days.”

Then she changed the subject and asked, “By the way, Ma…

“Lan, what made you so happy today? You’ve been smiling all the time! What’s going on? Can you share it with me?”

Ma Lan smiled and replied, “It’s not really a happy event. The main thing is that I’m going back to China soon. I’ve been in the United States for a while, and I feel ready to go home.”

Chen Liping looked surprised for a moment. A different expression crossed her face, and then she said, “Oh, you’re leaving in just a few days. It’s rare for me to meet someone like you. Sister, we’ve only known each other for a short time, and I wish we had more time together.”

Ma Lan reassured her, “It’s okay, Sister Chen. We have each other’s contact information. We can meet again when you come to China or when I come back to the U.S.”

Chen Liping sighed, “I was hoping to invite you over for a meal and introduce you to my husband and my son and daughter-in-law.”

Ma Lan’s eyes lit up with surprise. “That sounds great! We’re going to New York on Friday. How about tomorrow night? I can bring my daughter and son-in-law to visit!”

Chen Liping thought for a moment and then smiled. “Okay, let’s do it!”
