Chapter: 1556

At this moment, Ye Chen wasn't thinking about the phrase "found her way back", but rather the ancient proverb "no idle words, no robbery". Therefore, he suspected that his mother-in-law, Ma Ran, must be seeking something from him, otherwise she wouldn't take the initiative to cook.

Indeed, when they sat down to eat, Ma Ran, with a smile on her face, said to Ye Chen, "Good son-in-law, there's one more thing I want to ask you - don't know if you can agree?"

Ye Chen replied, "Mother, please go ahead and say what's on your mind. If it's reasonable within my capabilities, I won't refuse."

Ma Ran immediately smiled warmly and said, "Good son-in-law, recently I've discovered that I seem to be aging faster than before - wrinkles have appeared on my face, and the creases at the corner of my eyes are becoming more prominent. Time really isn't forgiving, is it?"

After finishing her sentence, she looked at Ye Chen with a smile, saying, "Recently, I heard that there's an anti-aging skincare product made from high-end caviar essence that's very effective. Many celebrities use it to prevent aging - mother wants you to buy one set for me."

Xiao Chu Ran listened and exclaimed in surprise, "Mother! The product you're talking about costs tens of thousands! What conditions do we have? Can Ye Chen really afford to buy such an expensive skincare product for you? And I've already bought several thousand yuan worth of YSL mascara for you - isn't that enough?"

Ma Ran spoke out of turn and said, "Don't mention your YSL mascara. I suspect that my wrinkles are caused by using it."

"After finishing her sentence, she looked at Ye Chen with a smile, saying, 'Mom! Yves Saint Laurent mascara is already good enough for me. I can't bear to use it myself! Look at what I'm using in our bathroom - all these domestic and ordinary imported brands. It's impossible for me to use such high-end products like Yves Saint Laurent.'"

Ma Ran snorted, "You're young! Even if you don't use anything, it doesn't matter. But I'm old now! If I don't take care of myself, I'll become an old hag in the future! Look at your dad; he's already started to get disgusted with me and wants to separate from me. He even says he wants to divorce me. What if he abandons me in the future? Who would still want to take me as their wife?"

Xiao Chu Ran couldn't say anything.

She was filled with anger, but at the same time, she felt like there's nothing good to talk about with her mom, and it's not possible to reason with her. So she told Ye Chen, "Don't listen to my mom; under no circumstances should you buy one for her!"

Ma Ran suddenly started crying pitifully: "Your dad is bad to me, your grandparents are worse. But I never thought that even my own daughter would treat me this way! And yet, you're still not good to me."

Xiao Chu Ran blurted out, "Mom, how could you say such a thing? If you don't buy the skincare product for me, it's not treating me well? What kind of logic is that?"

Ma Ran wailed, "I don't care; I just want to look young and beautiful. I'm already so miserable; I can't bear to see myself becoming an old hag like that!"

Ye Chen tapped Xiao Chu Ran's hand and said calmly, "Alright, mom; don't get upset. Mom also has a right to her beauty needs. Everyone has the desire to be beautiful."

Ma Ran nodded repeatedly, patted herself on the back, and said with satisfaction, "That's my son-in-law! He understands me best!"

Ye Chen continued, "Actually, I have a friend who imports skincare products. After this, I'll go ask him if he can help me get two sets of the product for mom as payment for checking out his new store."

Ma Ran was stirred by these words and exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Ah, my good son-in-law, you're really a good daughter's husband! Mom never thought that after going through the joys and sorrows of life, it would turn out that the son-in-law is the most reliable one. Other people like mothers-in-law, brothers-in-law, husbands, or even daughters will all drop the ball in crucial moments!"

In fact, Ma Ran didn't want to be Ye Chen's brown-noser.

But her current situation was really too embarrassing.

Without family financial power, she had almost nothing, and this luxurious Tangchen Manor was still under Ye Chen's name, with no connection to herself whatsoever.

What's more important is that after losing over 2 million last time due to Qi Hongyan's setup, Ma Ran also knew that her current family status was relatively low. Even the one who used to obey her instructions, Xiao Chong Kun, had turned against her and even slapped her in the face. In this situation, she indeed didn't have any capital for boasting.

So Ma Ran knew that now she could only hang on by a thread and please Ye Chen more than ever, otherwise, if Ye Chen were to turn against her one day and kick her out, it would be over.

Besides, Ye Chen was willing to give her expensive skincare products, so she immediately began flattering him.

Xiao Chu Ran didn't expect that Ye Chen would take the initiative to offer to get skincare products for her mother, and she was also helpless with a sense of despair. So she asked Ye Chen, "Husband, how come I haven't heard about it? Do you have friends who do business in skincare?" JrNovels.com
