Chapter: 5184
"This way..." Ma Ran muttered to himself: "When I came to America last time, Qi Hongyan wished me a smooth journey in my friend circle, and I cursed her silently all the way. Looks like I was wrong about her."
Ye Chen didn't just laugh awkwardly; he immediately arranged for Shen Chunran to prepare for security checks.
After saying goodbye to Fee Ke Xin, the three of them went through security checks and customs, directly boarding the plane from the VIP lounge outside.
Ma Ran's legs were not very convenient, so the airport sent two service personnel to escort them all the way.
On the plane, Li Auntie, Li Xiaofen, and Claudette saw Ye Chen and his friends get on the plane and quickly stood up to greet them, especially Li Xiaofen and Claudette, who looked a bit shy when they saw Ye Chen. They all called out in unison: "Ye Chen, older brother."
Ye Chen smiled at the two of them, opening his mouth to ask: "How have you two been lately?"
"It's fine," Li Xiaofen laughed. "Recently, we've been thinking about going back to Jinling, and we're both very excited. We spend hours chatting every night about Jinling."
Ye Chen nodded, looking at Claudette and smiling: "Claudette, since it's still summer vacation when you get to Jinling, take your time to adapt, and later let Xiaofen take you around to explore Jinling's customs and people."
Claudette lightly nodded her head, saying seriously: "Okay, Ye Chen older brother, thank you..."
On the side, Li Xiaofen laughed and said: "Ye Chen older brother, don't forget that Claudette's mother is from Jinling. Talking about it, Jinling is Claudette's grandma's hometown."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "So you don't have any relatives left in Jinling?"
"No," Claudette replied with a shake of her head. "My grandparents are both deceased, my uncle is abroad, and we've had little contact over the years, so basically, there's no one left in Jinling that I know well enough to even recall their names."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "No big deal, Xiaofen is here, Li Auntie is here, and I'm here too. We're all your family members."
Claudette was deeply moved and nodded repeatedly.
Just then, Ye Chen introduced Li Auntie, saying, "By the way, let me introduce you to my mother-in-law."
As he spoke, he gestured towards Ma Ran. After that, he said to Ma Ran, "Mom, this is Li Auntie from the welfare home. You should know her name."
"I know, I know!" Ma Ran exclaimed, looking at Li Auntie in amazement. "I used to hear Ye Chen talk about you every day!"
As they spoke, Ma Ran couldn't help but think back to when Xiao Lao Tai Tai was celebrating her birthday, and Ye Chen suddenly proposed lending this Li Auntie 1 million yuan for treatment.
At the time, she was truly furious with that fool Ye Chen who had no sense of judgment. Who would have thought that now, Ye Chen has become an in-laws as elusive as a golden turtle?
As soon as she thought about it, Ma Ran quickly turned to Li Auntie and said, "Oh, when Ye Chen lent you money for treatment back then, he was really putting his heart and soul into it. Our whole family worked together to help out..."
As she mentioned this, Ma Ran's expression didn't change and she sighed: "Unfortunately, that old lady from Xiao family was as stingy as a penny-pinching iron chicken. When Ye Chen asked to borrow money, she not only didn't lend him any, but also scolded him in front of everyone at the birthday party, which was truly excessive!"
Li Auntie quickly expressed gratitude: "You really mean well, thank you!"
Ma Ran chuckled and waved her hand, saying: "Oh, don't be so polite, my dear son-in-law is always nagging me, so we naturally want to lend a helping hand."
As she spoke, she asked with concern: "By the way, has your illness improved?"
"It's okay." Li Auntie nodded and said: "I had surgery in Yanjing and have been cured already." JrNovels.com
