Chapter: 5178
Li Chen said: "That's good. We've already checked out of our hotel today, and we plan to leave tomorrow morning for New York, pick you up afterwards, and then head back to Jinling together."
Ma Ran's tone suddenly changed, and she said: "Good son-in-law, I don't want to go back to Jinling. Mom is still not feeling well, and this leg of mine isn't convenient. It would be a hassle for us to live here again. Why don't you just leave with Shen Chou Ruan first, and Mom will stay here for a few more days to recover before coming back?"
Li Chen was at a loss.
He wanted Ma Ran to stay in the US, which would alleviate his concerns, but Shen Chou Ruan didn't know about Ma Ran's hospitalization. He had been putting off telling her, thinking that if she found out tomorrow and saw Ma Ran's leg again, it might cause unnecessary trouble.
So he decided to make things difficult by saying: "Mom, every day in the hospital is tiring. It's not comfortable coming back home. Besides, you're not familiar with New York. You'd be alone here, which wouldn't be very pleasant. After we go back, you can still enjoy eating these delicacies. I'll have the Heavenly Perfume Manor send them to you every day, and it won't be any worse than eating in the hospital."
Ma Ran, lying on her sickbed, thought about this for a moment before speaking: "Although staying here is comfortable and delicious, with someone taking care of me, but outside the hospital, there's only the green area on the first floor. It does feel somewhat meaningless. But going back would allow me to quickly sell the identical necklace you gave me and spend some money, until the day when I can still wear my hairpiece and ride a horse, which would definitely be very enjoyable!"
"Thinking about this, she smiled and said: 'Good son-in-law, since you've said all that, Mom will go back with us!'"
Li Chen laughed and whispered to her: "Mom, tomorrow when Shen Chou Ruan sees your leg problem, just say that you accidentally fell while playing with friends, and before the old injury healed properly, it relapsed. Please don't mention anything about being in prison, so as not to upset her mind."
"Okay, okay." Ma Ran agreed readily, smiling and saying: "You're not telling me, I wouldn't be able to tell Shen Chou Ruan the truth anyway. If someone finds out that I hurt my leg at Beedford Mountain, I'd ruin my reputation in this lifetime."
As soon as Li Chen heard those words, his face turned pale, but he could only manage a forced laugh: "Mom, you're right."
Ma Ran laughed and said: "Alright then, what time is it tomorrow? You tell me one minute before we're done, so I can inform the doctor and nurse to send me to the airport."
"Alright." Li Chen replied: "After we check out of our hotel room, we'll take a car and head over. However, we still need to return the car, which will likely take us till noon. Why don't you just have lunch at the hospital and then go to the airport?"
Ma Ran asked quickly: "What time is the flight?"
Li Chen smiled: "We're not taking commercial flights, but a private plane for our client."
"I'm going!" Ma Ran exclaimed with excitement: "And again I get to take a private plane? I've gotten too used to it since my last trip to America!"
As she spoke, Ma Ran hurriedly said: "Good son-in-law, then I'll have lunch at the hospital tomorrow and meet you all at the airport!"
"Alright." Ye Chen cautioned: "You can go straight to VIP Lounge tomorrow, and I'll wait for you there with Ma Ran."
Fei Ke Xin chatted with Xiao Chun Ran in the administrative lounge for a long time.
During this period, Fei Ke Xin slightly modified her story to make it seem even more realistic to Xiao Chun Ran's eyes, as smooth as silk.
According to Fei Ke Xin's account, she and her grandfather initially went to Jinling because someone introduced him to a top-notch doctor named Shi Tian Zi when his physical condition continued to deteriorate.
After arriving in Jinling, they quickly flew back to find Shi Tian Zi for treatment, and indeed, he cured her grandfather's illness.
However, just at that time, her uncle took advantage of her grandfather's absence in America to snatch the family headship and started pursuing her and her grandfather.
It was also during this period that she heard people saying Ye Chen was an extremely powerful geomancer, so she found Ye Chen to try and break the spell; Ye Chen pointed out a few things for her, and she and her grandfather managed to escape with their lives.
It was also at that time that she decided not to involve Xiao Chun Ran and parted ways with him in Jinling, disappearing into thin air.
According to Fei Ke Xin's account, she told Xiao Chun Ran that her ability to take the position of family head was entirely due to Ye Chen changing her fate and geomancy, which allowed her to return to New York with her grandfather at a critical moment and successfully regain the family headship.
