Chapter: 4771

At this moment, Mrs. Chen warmly invited Ye Chen's family of three into the house, and by now, the living room already had the aroma of cooked food.

The interior decoration of this villa is extremely meticulous, it's clear that a lot of effort and thought has been put into it, even surpassing Tou Shen Yin's villa.

There are many photos of adults and children on the walls at home, each one radiating warmth.

Ma Ran looked around and had a new appreciation for Mrs. Chen's skills, then hurriedly introduced Xiao Chuan and Ye Chen to her, laughing and saying, "This is my vice captain, our Wild Team's deputy team leader, Mrs. Chen! You have to call her Auntie!"

As she spoke, she also said to Mrs. Chen, "Mrs. Chen, this is my daughter, Xiao Chuan, and the one next to me is my son-in-law, Ye Chen."

Xiao Chuan politely greeted Mrs. Chen, saying, "Hello, Auntie, I'm intruding on your time!"

Mrs. Chen laughed and said, "What's there to say? Although we've only known each other for a short time, we've had plenty of conversations! I was actually thinking of inviting you over to my place earlier, but my daughter-in-law said her husband was away in Hong Kong on business, so I thought I'd wait until he returned. But then I found out your mother is about to leave the country now, and I'm really worried!"

Ma Ran couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Mrs. Chen, if we're talking honestly, I originally planned to stay in the US with my daughter and son-in-law until they returned to the country, but this time has been so long that I've missed home terribly, so I had to come back alone."

Mrs. Chen nodded seriously, saying, "I understand. When I first came to the US, I was just as homesick, thinking about returning every day and night. It wasn't until my children grew up and started families of their own that I began to feel at home here."

Ma Ran smiled and nodded in agreement, though secretly she didn't have any strong sense of roots or belonging anywhere.

In the past, she had struggled to make ends meet back home, so when she came to the US with her daughter and son-in-law, she saw the hotel as her new home. Now that she has a goddess's dream necklace in hand, she wants to go back and turn it into reality, which is why she's thinking of returning again.

Then, Ma Ran took out the gift she had bought in the afternoon and handed it to Chen Li Ping, smiling and saying, "Chen Sister, when I first came to your home, I didn't know what you liked, so I bought a set of tableware for you, hoping you wouldn't mind."

Chen Li Ping hurriedly complained, "You look at you, coming over here like you're going back to your own home, and buying things? Really...?"

Ma Ran had grown accustomed to this kind of courteous behavior from China, smiling and saying, "Oh, it's not too much money, just a little thought."

Chen Li Ping nodded slightly, smiling and said, "Next time, don't spend so much again, it would be very embarrassing, really..."

At that moment, a woman around 30 years old walked over, saw Ma Ran, and enthusiastically exclaimed, "You must be Aunt Ma, right? I've been hearing about you from my mom for the past few days, saying we get along well!"

Chen Li Ping quickly introduced her, saying, "Ma Ran, let me introduce you to this person. This is my daughter-in-law, Sun Hui Na, just call her Hui Na."

As she spoke, she also introduced her daughter-in-law to Ma Ran, saying, "Hui Na, this is Aunt Ma, and the two people next to her are Aunt Ma's daughters and sons-in-law."

Sun Hui Na exchanged greetings with Xiao Chen and Ye Chen, then smiled and said, "You all sit down for a bit, my grandfather and my husband are busy in the kitchen right now. We'll be able to eat soon."

Chen Li Ping quickly laughed and said, "Come, let's go sit on the couch for a bit. They will call us when it's time to eat."

Ma Ran didn't hesitate at all, smiling and saying, "Ah, Chen Sister, don't you have two grandsons and granddaughters? Why haven't I seen them?"

Chen Li Ping casually said, "The two kids are with their uncle's family at Disneyland. They won't be back until tomorrow."

Ma Ran was astonished and asked, "Do you have relatives in America?"

"Yes," Chen Li Ping nodded. "My husband's nephew is settled in Los Angeles, and we also have some acquaintances in California, so everyone moves around quite frequently."

As she spoke, Chen Li Ping added, "Actually, our family doesn't live in Providence very often. Last year my son's business took him here from Chicago, and then we moved again to New York a while later." JrNovels.com
