Chapter: 3225

Ye Chen laughed, "Older sister gave it to me, of course I'll wear it every day!"

Xiao Chunren nodded and glanced at the watch on Ye Chen's wrist while praising it: "Good-looking! Low-key yet tasteful, much better than those flashy gold watches that rich people love. Husband, you should leave it on, we'll go watch a performance later too!"

As a family of four, they had eaten and drunk enough, with Xiao Changkun having had too much to drink, his words becoming slurred. Ma Ran and Xiao Churen couldn't handle the effects of drinking, but Ma Ran, after hearing that this red wine cost ten thousand per bottle, took a deep breath and drank half the bottle by himself, getting completely drunk and hugging the wine bottle with a foolish look.

Xiao Churen had drunk less, his face slightly flushed, but his brain remained very clear. Seeing everyone was full and drunk, and it was only an hour until the performance, he turned to Ye Chen and said, "Honey, I'll go upstairs to change clothes and we can head straight to the performance later!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, saying, "Go ahead, I'll wait for you downstairs."

At this moment, Ma Ran, holding the bottle of Lafite red wine, lamented, "Ah... I'm really... I never thought that our family's life would become like this today. We have a luxury car, live in a luxurious house, use high-end skincare products worth tens of thousands, and drink expensive red wine worth ten thousand per bottle... Mother, it's just like Grandmother Xiao used to enjoy during her heyday!"

Xiao Changkun was also affected by the liquor and said with a sigh, "Who wouldn't say so? My mom's old estate was already old, broken, and worn out. It couldn't compare to our family's luxurious mansion..."

Ma Ran surprisingly agreed with Xiao Changkun's words, nodding and saying, "I'm telling you, Xiao Changkun, this is the fate of our family! If I hadn't given birth to such a good daughter, we wouldn't be where we are today?"

As she spoke, she became indignant, saying, "In those days, when you married me, your whole family looked down on me, especially your mother. She thought I was marrying into your family because I had gotten pregnant and relied on my child to marry into a good family..."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile: "Good good good, listen to what you say."

Xiao Chunren was satisfied and said, "That's still okay!"

After that, he quickly took out his watch and told Ye Chen, "Let me help you put it on. From now on, you'll wear it every day and don't take it off for a few days at a time."

Ye Chen laughed, "Older sister gave it to me, of course I'll wear it every day!"

Xiao Chunren nodded and glanced at the watch on Ye Chen's wrist while praising it: "Good-looking! Low-key yet tasteful, much better than those flashy gold watches that rich people love. Husband, you should leave it on, we'll go watch a performance later too!"

As she said this, Ma Lan's eyes became slightly red and she said, "At that time, she hated me as much as she loved Qi Hongyan, people like Qi Hongyan are different! They're beautiful, can make grandma happy, take a lovely daughter-in-law out with dignity, unlike me, born in the countryside, not as beautiful as Qi Hongyan, and don't wear clothes as stylish, feel like I've lost the face of the Xiao family, for so many years I've been living here without knowing how many times I've suffered scornful looks and gaslighting......"

Ma Lan paused, rubbed her eyes, let out a sigh, and then opened her mouth again: "But look at now! Whether it's your mom or your older brother's family, who had it better than we did?"

Xiao Changkun awkwardly chuckled twice without saying anything.

Ma Lan pursued: "Xiao Changkun, why won't you speak up? I'm asking you a question. You tell me, who had it better than us did?"

Xiao Changkun sighed and said: "Yes, yes, you're right. Let's just drop it then."

Ma Lan felt hurt and couldn't help but choke back tears: "You'll just brush me off! We've been married for so many years, and you always seem to be complaining like you're very unhappy, but have you ever thought about how I feel?"

Xiao Changkun unconsciously scratched his head and chuckled: "Ah, it's been so many years, what's the point of talking about this stuff?"

Ma Lan blurted out: "I'm bursting with frustration! Don't think I don't know, each member of your Xiao family looks down on me in their hearts!"

Xiao Changkun took a deep breath and pleaded: "Oh, no one looks down on you, it's just that you're thinking too much......"

Ma Lan cried out: "Xiao Changkun, tell yourself the truth. How many times have your family members given you grief? Don't say anything about me, just talk about yourself, your mom, and your older brother's family - how many times have they given you a hard time?"

Xiao Changkun's heart was deeply moved by this, and he felt a sense of sadness welling up inside him. JrNovels.com
