Chapter 196

Ma Lan spent the morning at the mahjong parlor, distracted, just waiting for the time to go to the Tianhua Hotel to meet Gao Junwei.

All morning, she kept thinking about what Gao Junwei's million-dollar gift could be.

Jewelry? Gems? Cash? A check? Or something else?

For someone like Ma Lan who loved to take advantage of small things, Gao Junwei's million-dollar gift was simply too attractive.

Last time, Ma Lan took Xiao Churan's 180, 00 check and took 160, 00 from it, which made her unable to stop smiling for several days.

So, thinking that she would soon get a million-dollar gift from Gao Junwei, she felt even more excited and itchy.

At 11: 0, Ma Lan said goodbye to her mahjong friends, walked out of the mahjong parlor, hailed a taxi, and headed straight for the Tianhua Hotel.

Arriving at the agreed location, she followed the agreement and didn't rush in, but stood at the hotel entrance, waiting for Gao Junwei's arrival.

Soon, a brand-new black Mercedes-Benz sedan slowly stopped in front of her.

Immediately after, the car door opened, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes, looking talented and handsome, stepped out.

The person who arrived was none other than Gao Junwei.

Gao Junwei did look very handsome and had a lot of style, but the only pity was that he walked with a limp.

Many girls were initially attracted by Gao Junwei's cool and handsome look and the luxury Mercedes, and were looking at him with sparkling eyes, but as soon as they saw he was a cripple, they immediately sighed with regret and turned away.

Gao Junwei saw all of this, and his heart was filled with extreme anger. He hated Ye Chen and Shi Tianqi even more, wanting nothing more than to get rid of them quickly.

However, Ma Lan was right in front of him, so he couldn't show his inner hatred. He limped over to Ma Lan.

Gao Junwei came to Ma Lan, smiled slightly, and said, "Auntie, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Ma Lan hurriedly said, "Oh Junwei, you are too polite, Auntie just arrived not long ago..."

As she spoke, she looked at the brand-new Mercedes behind Gao Junwei and asked in surprise, "Oh, is this Mercedes the new car you bought?"

Gao Junwei smiled and said, "Yes, this Mercedes S500 is one I just picked up from the 4S shop this morning. The price isn't too expensive, just over 1. million."

As he spoke, he handed the keys to Ma Lan and said, "Auntie, please accept the keys to this car."

After Ma Lan took the keys, she was confused and couldn't help but ask, "Junwei, what are you doing?"

Gao Junwei smiled slightly and said, "Auntie, this is the generous gift I mentioned on the phone! I see that Uncle Xiao and Churan both have a BMW, but you don't have a car yet. This is really unreasonable and doesn't match your status."

Ma Lan was so excited she couldn't hold it in and said, "Oh Junwei, this is too valuable, how can Auntie accept it!"

Although she said that, she held the car keys in her hand very tightly, with no intention of returning them to Gao Junwei at all.

Gao Junwei naturally saw through her little thoughts and said with a smile, "Auntie, to be honest, the 5 Series BMWs that Uncle and Churan drive are loser-level cars, adding up to less than 900, 00, far less luxurious than this Mercedes S500. I think your temperament, Auntie, is perfect for driving a Mercedes, so please accept this car!"

Ma Lan's heart had long since blossomed with joy!

She was the typical representative of the snobbish mother-in-law often seen in society!

In her eyes, there was nothing but money!

In her view, the most important thing for a son-in-law was to have money and be willing to spend it on her. Otherwise, no matter how good the son-in-law was, in her eyes, he was just stinky dog shit.

A man like Gao Junwei was the best candidate for a son-in-law because he was willing to spend money on his mother-in-law!

He hadn't even gotten together with her daughter yet, and he was already so generous, wanting to give her a 1. million Mercedes. If Xiao Churan really ended up with him in the future, wouldn't he give her a big villa and a big yacht?!

Thinking of this, she was extremely excited!

However, she still had to be polite on the surface. She grabbed Gao Junwei's arm and said seriously, "Oh, Junwei, you really moved Auntie, but this car is truly too valuable. If Auntie accepts it, I'm afraid it's not quite appropriate, right?"

"How could it be inappropriate?" Gao Junwei said seriously, "Auntie, me giving you something is a gesture of my heart. You can just accept it with confidence! There's nothing inappropriate about it!"

Seeing him so firm, Ma Lan was overjoyed. She stopped being polite, put the keys directly into her pocket, and said with a beaming smile, "Then Auntie won't be polite and will just accept it! Thank you so much, Junwei!"

Gao Junwei took in her money-grubbing expression, sneered in his heart, and thought: just looking at Xiao Churan's mother's snobbishness, it seems that his and his father's plan will definitely be successfully realized!

However, while thinking this, he said politely, "Auntie, let's not stand at the entrance. Let's go in and eat while we talk."

Ma Lan was extremely excited and nodded hurriedly, "Good, good, good, let's go in and talk, let's go in and talk!"

The two walked into the Tianhua Hotel, and Gao Junwei directly asked the waiter to take them to the reserved seat.

After the two were seated, Gao Junwei directly ordered a table full of expensive delicacies.

While eating, Gao Junwei pretended to be guilty and said, "Auntie, last time Uncle Xiao was hospitalized, I actually invited a quack doctor to treat him. I didn't do well in this matter, and I have to say sorry to you here!"

Ma Lan looked at Gao Junwei and said with a smile, "You child, don't be like this. I never blamed you for what happened last time! You were also a victim!"

Gao Junwei nodded, looked at Ma Lan, and said seriously, "Auntie, to tell you the truth, I want to pursue Churan and marry her. I wonder if you would agree?"

When Ma Lan heard this, she said excitedly, "Agree, agree! Auntie agrees ten thousand times! To tell you the truth, in Auntie's heart, I have long regarded you as my future son-in-law!"

Gao Junwei sighed and said, "You think so, but I'm afraid that Churan still holds a grudge against me. If the misunderstanding between us isn't resolved, I'm afraid I'll never be able to be with her in this life."

Ma Lan immediately said, "What misunderstanding? Just talk it out, won't that be enough? If you are too embarrassed to say it, Auntie will help you say it!"

Hearing this, Gao Junwei knew the timing was just right and suggested, "Auntie, actually, I want to apologize to Churan in person and confess my feelings. How about this: our family has a villa by the river. I will arrange a candlelight dinner there tonight, get some flowers, and set them up in a heart shape. Then you help me invite Churan out, let me apologize to her properly, and confess my feelings by the way. Maybe she will be moved and it will work out!"

"Oh Junwei, you are truly so thoughtful!" Ma Lan's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said, "That works! I'll call Churan right now!"

After speaking, she took out her phone, ready to call Xiao Churan.

Gao Junwei was happy in his heart, but hurriedly said, "Auntie, you must not tell Churan that it is me who wants to invite her out, otherwise she will definitely not come to see me."

As he spoke, Gao Junwei added, "You can tell her that you have a friend who is preparing to renovate a large villa by the river and hopes to find her studio to design it. She is so career-minded; once she hears there is a business order, she will definitely agree immediately. Then you can come over with her. When I confess to her, you can also help me say a few good words!"

Ma Lan's eyes lit up, and she blurted out, "Great! Let's do as you say!"

A hint of malice flashed in Gao Junwei's eyes, and he thought to himself: "Tonight, I will first take the stunningly beautiful Xiao Churan, then try the still-charming Ma Lan, and then make a call to lure Ye Chen over and shoot him dead!"
