The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4664

When Chen Liping heard that dinner was ready, she warmly invited Charlie Wade and his family to the restaurant.

Inside the restaurant, a man in his 60s was busy preparing the dishes. This was Chen Liping’s husband, Man Jinshan. The young man who had gone to invite Charlie and his family was Chen Liping’s son, Man Yingjie.

Man Jinshan welcomed the family with a big smile. He invited them to sit at the dinner table and asked Charlie Wade, “What kind of wine do you like to drink? I have red wine and Maotai.”

Charlie Wade politely replied, “I’m sorry, Uncle Man. I have to drive, so I won’t be drinking.”

Man Jinshan smiled back and said, “That’s fine. It’s good not to drink and drive.”

Then he turned to his son, Man Yingjie, and asked, “If you don’t have plans tonight, should we enjoy a drink together?”

Man Yingjie smiled and agreed, “Sure, let’s have a drink.”

Chen Liping quickly added, “You two should drink less.”

The father and son nodded in agreement. Man Yingjie took out a bottle of Maotai, eagerly opened it, and poured a glass for himself and his father.

It was clear that both of them enjoyed their drinks. As soon as the bottle was opened and the rich aroma filled the air, they seemed a bit restless with anticipation.

Despite their eagerness for the wine, neither of them raised their glasses right away. Instead, they looked over at Chen Liping, waiting for her cue.

Chen Liping then turned to Ma Lan with a smile and said, “Ma Lan, let’s skip the drinking and start eating!”

Ma Lan, who wasn’t fond of drinking, happily agreed.

As they began to eat, Chen Liping suddenly remembered something.

Chen Liping turned to Ma Lan and asked, “Ma Lan, when did you fly?”

Ma Lan quickly replied, “I took the plane on Sunday night.”

“Oh, that’s great!” Chen Liping exclaimed. “I have a sister who is also flying back to China this weekend from New York. Maybe you two can keep each other company!”

Ma Lan’s eyes lit up with surprise. “Really? That would be wonderful! It’s nice to have someone to talk to during the long flight.”

Chen Liping pulled out her phone and said, “I’ll check with her. A few days ago, she mentioned she was returning to China soon. I actually went to New York to give her something to bring back for my dad.”

Then she added, “Let me find out her flight number and see if it matches yours. If it does, I’ll send you her contact info. You can connect once you arrive in New York.”

Ma Lan smiled and replied, “That sounds good! My flight number is CX845, and I have to stop in Hong Kong Island before continuing on.”

Chen Liping started typing on her phone. “Okay, I’ll ask her right now. If you’re on the same flight, you can travel together. She’s going to Guangdong Province, so she might also be connecting in Hong Kong.”

Before long, Chen Liping handed her phone to Ma Lan, smiling. “Look! She’s on the same flight!”

Ma Lan leaned in closer and saw that the chat showed CX845. She gasped, “Wow, Mom, what a coincidence!”

“Isn’t it?” Chen Liping said with a grin. “My sister is really impressive. Her family is in the import and export business.”

The trade between China and the United States is huge, with both countries having billions in net worth. You might know her, and she could be helpful to you in the future.

Ma Lan said happily, “That’s wonderful! Sister Chen, please give me her WeChat business card when you get back. I want to add her.”

“Sure,” Chen Liping replied. “Let’s eat first, and I’ll talk to her after dinner.”
