The next day was the day Ma Lan was returning to China.
Charlie Wade took Ma Lan to New York to buy gifts and specialties worth $20,000 to $30,000. He wanted to show his gratitude for Ma Lan’s help with Xiao Churan during her time in the United States.
At five o’clock in the afternoon, Charlie and Xiao Churan dropped Ma Lan off at JFK Airport.
Since Ma Lan had a first-class ticket, she didn’t need to rush through the check-in process. She turned to Charlie and Xiao Churan and said, “Churan, good son-in-law, you two don’t need to hurry to help me through security. A friend introduced by Sister Chen is on the same flight. She just messaged me on WeChat to say there’s a first-class lounge after the entrance. She asked me to wait there for her so we can check in together.”
Xiao Churan didn’t think much of it. She felt it was nice for her mother to have someone to chat with during the long flight.
However, she recalled Sister Chen and her slightly odd family, and quickly warned, “Mom, it’s fine to fly with others, but be careful. Don’t trust everyone too much. Especially don’t believe anyone who offers you money or stocks, and don’t lend money to strangers, okay?”
Ma Lan laughed and replied, “Oh, who would think my little savings would interest anyone? Their family is very wealthy.”
Worried that Xiao Churan would keep lecturing her, she added quickly, “But don’t worry, I’m not naive. I’ve traveled all over the world for years; I know how to take care of myself.”
Xiao Churan felt a bit embarrassed as she looked at her mother, Ma Lan. She thought to herself, “Why has Mom faced so little hardship over the years?” But as it was time to say goodbye, she didn’t want to say too much. “Mom, please be careful on the road. Make sure you rest well. Don’t talk to too many people when you get back to China, or you’ll have jet lag. If you don’t rest properly, it will be tough when you get home.”
“Don’t worry about me!” Ma Lan replied cheerfully. “I can take care of myself. And you, my wonderful son-in-law, should focus on enjoying your time in the U.S. I can’t wait for you both to come back home!”
Charlie Wade nodded and smiled. “Okay, Mom. Just remember to let us know when you’re on the plane.”
“Sure thing!” Ma Lan replied eagerly.
The car quickly reached the departure area of the airport. Since Ma Lan didn’t want Charlie and Xiao Churan to come inside, he parked on the side of the road. He helped her with her luggage, and they watched as she pushed her suitcase toward the entrance.
Just before entering the airport, Ma Lan waved to them and called out, “Churan, Charlie, head back quickly!”
Seeing her mother leaving for China alone made Xiao Churan feel sad and reluctant. Tears started to flow as she waved her hand and said, “Mom, please tell us before you get on the plane!”
“Okay, don’t worry!” Ma Lan assured them as she waved goodbye and confidently walked into the airport.
