Chapter: 504

After Xiao Huan came back, all the dishes were set on the table, Ma Ran finally rushed back in high spirits.

As soon as he entered, he started to show off, saying, "Today, I won over seven thousand yuan at the mahjong parlor!"

Xiao Changkun said with a hint of understatement, "Oh, wow, old lady! You're so impressive! Seven thousand yuan in one day, and that's twenty-one thousand yuan per month!"

Xiao Churan frowned and said, "Mom, I have no problem with you playing mahjong or relaxing occasionally. However, winning seven thousand yuan in one day is a bit too much. If we get trapped, there's a big risk involved!"

Ma Ran waved her hand dismissively and said, "Oh, don't teach me! I know what I'm doing. The people I play with are all noobs, and my skills far surpass theirs. Even if I close my eyes, I can still win money! Don't you know what my nickname is? It's the Sea God of Haihe Road!"

Xiao Churan sighed in frustration and rubbed her temples before simply ignoring Ma Ran.

When it was time to eat, Xiao Churan suddenly received a WeChat message and opened it to take a look. She then asked Ye Chen, "Do you have any plans for tomorrow's weekend?"

Ye Chen replied, "What plans? I just need to buy groceries, cook dinner, and do some laundry."

Xiao Churan said, "If Lulu says she booked a suite at the hot spring hotel and invited us to soak in the hot springs, and you don't have any special plans, then I'll agree to go with her."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Soak in the hot springs? Am I going too?"

Xiao Churan nodded, "She booked a suite for just the two of us, and she said it's been a while since she came here without asking us. She wants to treat us!"

Ma Ran quickly became vigilant and exclaimed, "Churan! If you're going with Lulu, what about Ye Chen? He can't go! Let him stay home and do some chores instead!"

Xiao Churan said, "Mom, Lulu invited him too! Of course we'll all go together!"

Ma Ran glared at Ye Chen and said, "How can this work? You two are going to share a room together, what if he does something to you? Are you not losing out?"

Ye Chen finally understood that his mother-in-law was worried about this one thing...

Xiao Churan also had some mixed feelings towards Ma Ran's words, speaking in an unpleasant tone, "Mom, I'm married to Ye Chen. My husband and I will handle our own affairs. We don't need you meddling."

Ma Ran got upset and slammed her chopsticks down, saying angrily, "How dare you? As a mother, can't I do anything?"

Xiao Churan just rolled her eyes, speaking in a bad mood, "You can control things that should be controlled, but you shouldn't try to control things that don't need controlling."

Ma Ran pounded the table and said, "As a mother, there's nothing I shouldn't meddle with! Everything has to answer to me!"

Xiao Churan's rebellious spirit was ignited, and she blurted out, "This is something you can't interfere with! Ye Chen must go! No one can stop him! If you try to stop us, I'll just leave!"

"You... Ma Ran suddenly softened.

As soon as Xiao Churan said she'd leave, she had grabbed Ma Ran's weak spot.

Ma Ran was forced to reluctantly say, "Fine, fine. Don't go. Just be careful and don't regret it later!"

Saying that, she gazed at Ye Chen with a playful smile, saying, "Good son-in-law, don't go tomorrow if you won't. Come with Mom to play Mahjong and have some fun! Mom won't let you leave empty-handed, I'll give you 2,000 yuan as pocket money!"

Ma Ran thought carefully. Since Xiao Churan's words didn't take effect, she tried to find a breakthrough from Ye Chen's side. If she could persuade Ye Chen not to go, then Xiao Churan couldn't blame her, right? JrNovels.com
