Chapter: 5188

Ma Ran turned around and said with righteous indignation, "Chunran, I'm just holding on to my grief for your father and using his example to remind this taxi driver to take care of their health. If he listens to these words, maybe he can quit smoking or at least reduce it in the future and live a few more years. Am I not also saving him one life?"

As she spoke, Ma Ran waved her hand dismissively: "Well, let's just say we're not saving him one life, but half-life, quarter-life... that's good enough. They say saving someone's life is better than building seven levels of a pagoda, so I'm accumulating some merit for myself."

Shi Chunran questioned her angrily: "What about my father? You're talking about my father like it's okay to damage our family's reputation?"

Ma Ran looked serious and said, "He's already passed away. What's there not to say?"

Shi Chunran said with anger: "Mom! It's getting too much already!"

Ma Ran saw Shi Chunran was indeed very angry, so she quickly said: "Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, not saying it isn't enough?"

After that, she told the driver: "Driver, you, in the future, please take care of yourself and don't take what I just said seriously. You can think I'm just playing with you."

The driver's face twitched a few times, awkwardly saying: "Uh... okay... okay..."

Subsequently, Ma Ran seemed to have vented most of her emotions, not speaking another word.

Yè Chén and Shi Chunran also didn't speak because of the awkward atmosphere, the rest of the way silent.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of the Yang Chen International Residential Area.

Yè Chén paid the fare, and the three of them got off the car.

The driver saw the three of them walk away, grabbed the half-pack of Jinling cigarettes, and threw it out the window with a curse: "Go to hell! I won't smoke again in the future!"

Before Yè Chén entered the door, he caught a glimpse of something being thrown out the driver's window, slightly startled, vaguely hearing a voice: "Ma Ran, merit +100. Current merit balance: minus 108,000..."

The three people pushed their luggage into the community and heard a short, sharp car horn sound from behind.

Unconsciously, they turned around to look, only to see a sleek SUV slowly approaching, with a woman leaning out the window, exclaiming in surprise: "Wow, Ma Ran! When did you get back from America?"

Ma Ran was taken aback by this and exclaimed: "Qian Hongyan?! Is that really you?!"

Qian Hongyan drove her car forward again and stopped right next to Ma Ran's side, leaning out the window with a smug expression, laughing: "Ma Ran, you're really clever. You went to America for two months and still didn't recognize me, your big sister?"

Ma Ran's eyebrows suddenly furrowed together.

At this moment, there were several voices echoing in her mind.

The first voice was: "What the hell? How can Qian Hongyan afford a luxury car like this? She's not even able to get by after all. There are two disabled people at home, plus an 80-year-old mother-in-law who eats out every day and is as poor as a rat. Where did she get this car from?"

The second voice was: "What the hell? Qian Hongyan's changed so quickly! I didn't go to America back then, and she was stuck to me like glue all day long, calling me 'older sister' and now she's driving a luxury car and even starts calling me 'Ma Ran' again... Who the hell recognizes her as their big sister...?"

"Ah, what a joke! Qian Hongyan must have gotten lucky or something. She's probably just flipped her luck all of a sudden... It's definitely not because she has economic power to afford a car like this..."

Qian Hongyan intentionally smiled and said, "Hey, Ma Ran, you went to America and changed so much. We've been friends for many years, but I don't think you even listen to me."

Ma Ran saw Qian Hongyan speaking in a strange tone and snorted with disdain, saying, "Ah, yes, change is big! But yours is the biggest! I remember when I left, you were still calling me 'older sister' every day, and you wanted me to buy you a gold necklace. How did it suddenly become okay for you to start addressing me as an aunt in front of me?" JrNovels.com
