The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4660

Ma Lan walked into the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel and immediately asked Xiao Churan and Charlie Wade, “Churan, good son-in-law, do you two have any plans for tomorrow night?”

Xiao Churan looked curious and replied, “What’s going on, Mom?”

Ma Lan explained, “I have a sister who is very well-connected in the Rampage. She wants to invite our family of three over to her house. She has lived in the United States for many years and hasn’t made many close friends. It’s nice to find someone I can really talk to, but since I’m leaving soon, I thought I should visit her and enjoy a meal before I go. It will be a nice send-off.”

Xiao Churan suddenly asked in surprise, “Mom… can you really find a good friend you can talk to?”

Ma Lan pouted and said, “What do you mean? Don’t you think I have friends? Remember Aunt Zhao, Aunt Sun, and Aunt Liu? We used to have a great time together!”

Xiao Churan replied, feeling a bit awkward, “Do they really have a good relationship with you? I remember you all used to play mahjong and visit beauty salons together, but then you all stopped talking for no reason.”

Ma Lan felt a bit embarrassed and quickly waved her hand, saying, “Let’s not talk about that! Those are old stories!”

The truth was, Ma Lan’s friendships fell apart after she took Charlie Wade’s bank card and transferred money for herself. Suddenly feeling rich, she looked down on her old friends. She even argued with them over the phone, which led to her getting into trouble and spending time in a detention center.

Ma Lan had been living behind the high wall for a few days. For a long time, she had been known as the master of being a Chinese shrew. She was extremely snobbish, believing that whoever had money was the most important person. It didn’t matter if they could use that money for themselves; she would always kneel and flatter them first.

For many years, Ma Lan followed Mrs. Xiao and Qian Hongyan, hoping that her daughter, Xiao Churan, would leave her husband, Charlie Wade, and marry a richer man. She believed that wealth defined a person’s worth.

Ma Lan was also very narrow-minded, always quick to judge others. She lived by a simple motto: “Hate those who have, laugh at those who don’t.” Because of this attitude, Ma Lan had no close friends.

Xiao Churan, though not the sharpest, understood her mother well. She felt that someone like Ma Lan would never truly have a best friend.

When Ma Lan sensed her daughter’s doubt, she awkwardly said, “Churan, you need to see me differently now. Look at me from a perspective of growth. I know it’s not always easy to get along with friends or with Charlie, but don’t you think I’m improving?”

After saying this, Ma Lan became a bit excited. “Just think about how I treat Charlie now. Isn’t it better?”

Seeing her mother’s enthusiasm, Xiao Churan quickly agreed, “Yes, Mom, you’re right. I just need to catch up with your progress…”

Then she swiftly changed the topic. “By the way, Mom, what does your sister do?”

Ma Lan quickly replied, “She just immigrated with her son.”

Ma Lan smiled and said, “I invited our sister and mother to help take care of their children here.”

Then she added, “By the way, this sister and mother are from our village! Their hometown is close to your grandmother’s house.”

Xiao Churan nodded and replied, “Mom, I don’t know Charlie Wade or this auntie either. It might not be right for us to visit someone else’s house. Plus, you know Charlie Wade isn’t very social. Why don’t you go by yourself?”

Ma Lan looked serious and said, “I’ve already told them it’s a gathering of two families. The older generation knows each other, and it’s a good chance for the younger ones to meet too. We should make friends because having more friends can open up many opportunities.”
