Chapter: 720

It seems that he had no choice but to go to Red Hóng's mother's house first.

Ma Lán continued to be extremely anxious and depressed.

Xiao Changkun didn't know what had happened today, still thinking that Red Hóng had simply run off with all her money, looking relieved. He said, "Ha ha, I'm such a genius! So clever one moment, so foolish the next, it's hilarious!"

Xiao Changkun looked at Ma Lan, not expecting this mother-in-law to be so reasonable. She denied having seen Red Hóng, accusing her of having an affair and running off with money instead. This immediately turned Xiao Changkun's attention away from her.

Ma Lan glared at Xiao Changkun, her eyes burning with hatred, as if she wanted to eat him alive!

It's all because of this useless person, letting He Lian and Red Hóng waste their own money on them. Now they've lost everything, and don't know how to cover it up from Xiao Changkun.

Just then, Xiao Changkun exclaimed excitedly: "That's right, old lady! Can you give me two thousand yuan? I'm going to invite some guests over for a meal tomorrow."

"Invite who?" Ma Lan suddenly tightened up and asked: "Who would be able to get two thousand yuan from you?"

Xiao Changkun couldn't help but smile: "I was just accepted into the calligraphy association in Jinling, and there's an opening for a director position. I want to try for it! So, I'm going to invite the president and other directors over for dinner to build some relationships."

As he said this, Xiao Changkun looked pleased with himself: "If I can get that director position, then I'll be considered a celebrity in Jinling's antique circle!"

Ma Lan quickly scolded: "You're out of your mind! Inviting guests costs two thousand yuan? Are you running a printing press at home? Let me tell you, I won't agree to it!"

Xiao Changkun said hastily: "Ah, my wife, I'm not just trying to climb up either! Once I've got the director position, I'll have many more opportunities to touch antique calligraphy and paintings, and there will be even more chances for me to grab. My skills at grabbing things you've never seen before - one time I earned tens of thousands just like that!"

Ma Lan's expression was very nervous: "But it can't cost 2,000 yuan to invite guests over for dinner! Do you really think the money in your house is just blown away by a gust of wind?"

Xiao Changkun said with a scowl: "I'll spend this money, and I'm definitely going to get it back later! What's there to worry about? Can't I borrow from you if I need to?"

Ma Lan looked down on him saying: "Just based on your level of cleverness, who doesn't know that even if you become a director, what can you do? You're like Ye Chen - almost becoming a professional at deceiving people all day!"

Xiao Changkun suddenly got upset: "Why are you looking down on me like this?"

Ma Lan gave a snort: "I'm just looking down on you, that's it. How about I tell you? If you want money, there isn't any!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and pretended to be angry as she went back into the room.

Xiao Changkun was very miserable.

You old hag, what are you playing at?

Don't even give me 2,000 yuan?!

I've really earned a significant amount of money!

He was about to go into the room to find Ma Ran and theorize, but Ye Chen hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "Dad, since mom doesn't want to give you any money, it's useless for you to chase after her."

Xiao Changkun scowled and said: "But I've already contacted people and asked them to come eat with us! I have about 2,000 yuan in my pocket, which is enough to treat our guests!"

He continued to say: "Our guild has already agreed on this, and I'm hoping to get a good chance as the standing committee member. It all depends on whether I can do well." JrNovels.com
