Chapter: 4770

Then Ma Ran further elaborated, "You know, this sister is actually an old acquaintance of yours. Her hometown isn't far from Grandma's place..."

Xiao Huiren nodded slightly and said, "Mom, I don't recognize this aunt or her family. It's not very suitable for us to go pay a visit uninvited, especially Ye Chen's personality - he's not really one for socializing."

Ma Ran emphasized, "But Mom has already spoken with them about it. This is a gathering of the older generation to get to know each other, and for the younger generation to socialize and make friends. In today's world, having many friends means having many connections..."

As she spoke, Ma Ran very seriously said, "You two can't let Mom renege on her promise!"

Xiao Huiren looked at Ye Chen and asked, "What do you think, husband?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Since Mom has already spoken with others about it, we shouldn't go either. It wouldn't be suitable."

Ma Ran nodded vigorously and blurted out, "In a crucial moment, my good son-in-law is the key!"

After that, she seized the opportunity to say, "So that's settled then. Tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, we'll all go together. Initial, you just take care of your schoolwork tomorrow, and my good son-in-law will accompany me to buy some gifts. This is our first time visiting someone's home, so let's not show up empty-handed."

Xiao Churan saw Ye Chen nodding in agreement and didn't say anything else, so she just nodded and said: "Alright then."

The next day at 2 pm.

Ma Ran shouted to Ye Chen, driving them to Providence's city center for a round trip.

Ma Ran tried out multiple gift shops before finally buying a set of exquisite tableware worth several hundred US dollars as a hostess gift under Ye Chen's suggestion.

Ye Chen felt that as ordinary friends visiting someone's home, the hostess gift couldn't be too expensive; otherwise, it would seem impure.

Ma Ran also knew that Mrs. Chen's family was well-off, not lacking in finances, so whether the gifts were expensive or not didn't matter much; what mattered most was the intention.

At 5:30 pm, the two of them picked up Xiao Churan at the school entrance and then Ye Chen drove to the community where Mrs. Chen lived according to the coordinates he sent Ma Ran.

The destination is about 10-15 kilometers away from the city center, but the road condition was good, so they arrived in about 20 minutes.

This community in Providence is a very high-end upscale neighborhood, with buildings that are very sparse and well-maintained. The exterior appearance, landscaping, and roads are all taken care of very well.

In addition to this, there are police cars parked at the main road outside the community, and in America, it's a rare thing for a community to have police protection because police work is not free, but rather very expensive. It's so high-end that ordinary communities can't bear the cost.

Ye Chen followed the navigation and parked his car in front of a very luxurious three-story villa.

At this moment, the gate of the house inside the low wall opened, and a woman similar in age to Ma Ran, who was also very close to Ma Ran - Mrs. Chen - came out from inside.

When she saw Ma Ran, Mrs. Chen was extremely happy and said, "Ah, Ma Ran, you're finally here!"

After saying that, she saw Ye Chen and Xiao Churan getting out of the car and smiled and said, "Are these two your daughter-in-law's parents? Welcome, welcome! Please come in and sit down!"

Mrs. Chen's enthusiasm made Ye Chen feel like she was being a bit too deliberate.

However, Ye Chen didn't think much about it, waited for Ma Ran to chat with Mrs. Chen for a few sentences, and then went into the villa together with Xiao Churan. JrNovels.com
