Chapter 2291: A Sudden Inspiration

Ma Lan opened the door wide, just about to shout a few words at the person outside, when she suddenly saw Ye Chen standing outside. Her stinky face immediately became extremely happy, and she said excitedly: "Oh my, good son-in-law! When did you come back? Why didn't I hear you say hello?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I was afraid you would worry, so I didn't say hello in advance."

Ma Lan said with a smile: "Mom knows, you must want to give Churan a surprise!"

Xiao Churan inside heard the movement and asked while walking to the door: "Mom, is Ye Chen back?"

Ma Lan hurriedly turned her head and shouted inside: "Daughter, good son-in-law is back, come quickly!"

As she said that, seeing that there was still a waiter pushing a luggage cart behind Ye Chen, and looking at the luggage cart, there were three suitcases, she couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Good son-in-law, I remember you didn't bring much luggage when you left. Why are there so many things when you come back? Is it a gift for Mom?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Most of them are some local specialties given by friends, but I also prepared a small gift for you."

When Ma Lan heard there was a gift, she couldn't suppress the excitement and curiosity in her heart.

She knew that it was very easy for Ye Chen to earn money by looking at Feng Shui for others now, so he was also very generous in spending money, so she couldn't help but guess in her heart: "As long as Ye Chen makes a move, it must be a good thing worth more than 100,000, right?"

At this time, Ye Chen had already brought the waiter into the presidential suite and directed the waiter to unload the luggage to the side.

The waiter carefully finished moving the luggage, and Ye Chen took out a 100 US dollar bill and handed it to him. The waiter then left with thousands of thanks.

At this time, Xiao Churan just happened to arrive. Seeing Ye Chen, she said happily: "Husband, why didn't you say hello when you came back? I could have gone to the airport to pick you up!"

Ye Chen smiled: "If I had told you in advance, then during the time from my plane taking off to landing, you would definitely have been worried, so I just didn't tell you, intending to give you a surprise."

It could be seen that Xiao Churan was indeed very happy to see Ye Chen back, but she still couldn't help but urge: "Husband, compared to the surprise you gave, I would rather drive to the airport to pick you up myself. Next time you have something like this, you must tell me in advance, okay?"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "No problem, next time for sure."

As he said that, Ye Chen took out the two necklaces he bought in Hong Kong from his small suitcase, handed the two jewelry boxes to Xiao Churan and Ma Lan respectively, and said with a smile: "Churan, Mom, these are some small gifts I bought for you in Hong Kong. Open them and take a look."

When Ma Lan heard this, she reached out and took them without hesitation. Seeing the Bulgari logo on the packaging box, she only realized that this thing must not be cheap, so she said happily: "Oh my, my good son-in-law is still the best! One move is an international big brand, either Hermes or Bulgari. Next time, will it be Van Cleef & Arpels?"

Ye Chen did not expect Ma Lan to be able to play a pun at such a time.

It seems that Ma Lan really wants a piece of Van Cleef & Arpels jewelry.

So, he smiled and said: "Since Mom likes Van Cleef & Arpels, I will buy it for you next time I go out to look at Feng Shui."

Ma Lan clapped her hands happily, but said very politely: "Oh my, good son-in-law, Mom knows you are filial, but Mom can't always let you spend so much money. That Van Cleef & Arpels thing is damn expensive! Just their classic clover necklace, one costs more than 400,000! They are really crazy about money!"

Xiao Churan on the side immediately realized her mother's true intention and hurriedly said: "Mom! Can you stop being so vain! Why do you have to let Ye Chen buy you such expensive things from Van Cleef & Arpels..."

Ma Lan said with a wronged face: "I didn't say that. I meant that the brand's things are sold too expensively and have no cost-effectiveness at all. How could a pragmatic person like me like such things without cost-effectiveness?"

After finishing, she didn't forget to say to Ye Chen: "Good son-in-law, Mom is already very satisfied that you have this heart, but you must remember, don't buy things indiscriminately!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and nodded gently: "Okay Mom, I know."

Ma Lan's expression was somewhat melancholy, but she still sensibly turned the page on Van Cleef & Arpels and hurriedly focused her attention on the jewelry box in her hand.

While opening the box, she secretly thought in her heart: "A few days ago, I just bought a Bulgari Emerald Goddess of Dreams necklace. I don't know what Bulgari jewelry Ye Chen sent me this time. If it is an Emerald Goddess of Dreams bracelet, it can be matched with that necklace of mine. That would be really great."

Thinking this way in her heart, she happily opened the box.

Immediately after, the object that came into her sight made her stunned.

"This... this..." Ma Lan looked at the necklace quietly lying in the jewelry box that looked very familiar, and couldn't help but say: "This... isn't this the Emerald Goddess of Dreams necklace?"

The moment she saw this necklace, Ma Lan's heart was very disappointed.

After all, she had just bought an identical one before coming to the United States, so receiving such a gift again naturally made her feel a bit depressed.

She is the person who loves vanity and face the most. Although this necklace is very expensive and looks very atmospheric, two identical things can only be used to show off once.

Wearing this one today and that one tomorrow, in the eyes of others, the two days are wearing the same one.

But a necklace cannot be hung on the neck twice at the same time, so in her eyes, the necklace Ye Chen gave her is basically equivalent to not giving it.

At this time, Ye Chen had already taken in the disappointment that could not be hidden in her eyes, so he asked with feigned surprise: "Mom, you know so much about these. I remembered the name for the whole way and didn't remember it."

Ma Lan laughed: "Hey, isn't this just blind research!"

As she said that, she continued very seriously: "Oh my, you two don't know, that Qian Hongyan, she is so poor that she can't even eat, yet she drags me to visit these luxury stores every day. To be honest, if it weren't for her constantly influencing me in my ears, I wouldn't be able to remember so many brands."

Xiao Churan asked hurriedly: "Mom, are you playing with Qian Hongyan again?"

Ma Lan explained: "It doesn't count as playing together. It's mainly because after you all left, I lived in Tomson Riviera alone, which was too boring. Having her is at least a companion, and she is much more honest than before, so I had some dealings with her."

As she said that, she looked at the Goddess of Dreams necklace in her hand again, feeling even more melancholy.

Ye Chen smiled secretly in his heart. It seems that this move of his is indeed a bit useful. It can be seen that Ma Lan is already a bit annoyed at this time.

Xiao Churan on the side did not notice her mother's abnormality at all, but couldn't help but say to Ye Chen: "Husband, thank you for the gift, but don't buy such expensive luxury goods in the future. It is said that the value retention rate of such luxury jewelry is very poor, which is really too wasteful."

Hearing the words "value retention rate," Ye Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration. So, he looked at Ma Lan and said deliberately: "It seems that this Goddess of Dreams is still very value-retaining in the second-hand market. If the packaging and receipts are complete, and it is maintained well enough, 80% should still be sellable."

As Ye Chen expected, when Ma Lan heard this, her eyes widened instantly, and her expression changed from the previous depression to extreme excitement!

Immediately, she suddenly said to Xiao Churan: "Oh my daughter, Mom suddenly misses home so much..." ===== CHAPTER 2292 =====
