Chapter 2292: Homesickness

~8 min read 1,422 words

"Miss home?!"

Xiao Churan was stunned by Ma Lan's sudden outburst and asked in confusion: "Mom, Dad is in South Korea, and Ye Chen and I are in the United States. What home are you missing?"

Ma Lan said with an awkward expression: "Mom misses Jin Ling. Living in this foreign land, I am indeed a bit unaccustomed. Looking around, Jin Ling is still the best. Why don't you see which day there is a flight and book me a ticket back?"

Xiao Churan looked at Ma Lan with extreme surprise and blurted out: "Mom, didn't you say you missed us so much that you couldn't sleep, and you couldn't stand being alone at home living in such a big house, so you insisted on coming to the United States to find us? You've only been here for a few days, and you want to go back to Jin Ling again? If you go back to Jin Ling, aren't you still alone? Aren't you still living in Tomson Riviera alone? What will you do if you are lonely again? Fly to the United States again?"

Ma Lan hurriedly said: "Oh my, Mom did miss you so much that I couldn't sleep, isn't that why I came to see you? After seeing you, Mom felt at ease, and once at ease, I can naturally go back."

Ma Lan would never tell her silly daughter that the reason she wanted to come to the United States to find her and Ye Chen was not because she really missed them, nor because she really felt lonely; she just accidentally spent all her money.

Without money, living in that kind of big villa in Tomson Riviera, even eating was a problem.

Although the Cullinan parked in the yard was extremely domineering, she couldn't even afford the money to refuel it, so what was the point?

But now the situation is different!

Ye Chen actually gave her another identical Goddess of Dreams!

What does this represent?

This represents that she can fly back with this Goddess of Dreams and then take one of the two out to sell.

These two Goddess of Dreams are both brand new. The one she had only worn for a day or two should count as 99% new, and this one from Ye Chen is brand new and unworn. According to the market price of 500,000, with a 20% discount, it can also be sold for 400,000!

Moreover, the store where she bought the necklace still owed her 72,000 in cashback that hadn't arrived. If she waited for that money to arrive, wouldn't she have nearly 500,000 again?

Thinking of this, Ma Lan's heart was already surging: "When I get this money, I definitely won't buy things indiscriminately. I'll just keep it to spend! I live in a luxury mansion, drive a luxury car, hang the Goddess of Dreams around my neck, and have 500,000 pocket money in my pocket. This is the real fairy life, isn't it much better than living in the United States?"

Don't look at Ma Lan dancing square dances and going to the brisk walking team these days; in fact, it was all because she had no money.

Only in such a situation of having no money would she find things that didn't cost money to do.

Moreover, in a place like the United States, although she lived in a top presidential suite, this house was still much worse than her own big villa in Tomson Riviera.

What's more, she didn't have a top-spec Rolls-Royce Cullinan to drive in the United States.

And there was no professional lick-dog like Qian Hongyan following her around to lick her wildly.

So, no matter how she thought about it, it was better to return to the country.

Ye Chen on the side smiled secretly in his heart. It seems that Ma Lan's style is indeed consistent, and he can always easily find her breakthrough point.

In fact, for Ye Chen, he didn't want Ma Lan to stay here and disturb his two-person world with his wife either.

The reason why he tried every means to get Ma Lan here before was mainly because he was going to Hong Kong and was worried and couldn't bear to leave his wife alone here, so he tricked Ma Lan over to accompany his wife well during the few days he went to Hong Kong.

Now that he is back, there is naturally no need for Ma Lan to continue to stay here.

After all, Xiao Churan didn't know Ma Lan's financial situation, but Ye Chen knew it very well. Ma Lan's pockets were cleaner than her face now. If she had no money, she would definitely stay in the United States and not leave until Xiao Churan finished all training courses and returned to the country.

Therefore, letting her leave quickly is Ye Chen's top priority now.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Chen deliberately said that about the second-hand value retention rate.

In fact, he just wanted to remind Ma Lan that although having two identical necklaces can only be used to show off once, she can choose to sell the other necklace quietly while showing off once.

Anyway, she has two identical ones. As long as she ensures that one is still in her hand, this matter will not be exposed.

Moreover, after calculating, she earned a necklace in the end.

After Ye Chen's reminder, Ma Lan did indeed think of this point, so she almost immediately became eager to return home.

Forget about the square dance troupe and the brisk walking team; Ma Lan just wants to go home now.

So, seeing Xiao Churan's surprised face, Ma Lan couldn't help but say again: "Churan, what Mom just said was from the heart. It's true that I missed you, but after I came back to see you, I didn't miss you in my heart, and then I naturally started to miss home. The older a person gets, the stronger the homesickness. For Mom now, homesickness is just missing this ticket of yours."

As she said that, Ma Lan added: "Besides, Mom doesn't want to disturb your two-person world and always be a light bulb here. I don't feel comfortable in my heart either, so you might as well let Mom go back early, don't you think?"

Xiao Churan said helplessly: "Then when do you want to leave?"

Ma Lan said without hesitation: "Naturally, the sooner the better. Why don't you see if there is a ticket for tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?!" Xiao Churan said angrily: "Mom, even if you want to leave, don't be so sudden. It's like suddenly turning your face and not recognizing people. Didn't you say you would wait until the weekend when I'm busy to take you to New York for a stroll? Are you not going?"

"Oh my! How could I forget this..." Ma Lan suddenly remembered that she had finally come to the United States and hadn't even been to New York.

Originally, according to the normal process, she needed to go to New York first and then transfer when she came to Providence, but she was lucky enough to win the 1.2 million grand prize arranged by Ye Chen, so she flew directly from Jin Ling to Providence and hadn't even set foot on New York soil.

So, Ma Lan thought: "The friends and relatives on WeChat all know that I came to the United States by private jet. If I don't go to New York to take a few photos and post a few Moments, wouldn't this trip to the United States be in vain?"

"Anyway, Ye Chen has already given me this necklace, and it won't run away. Then I might as well go to New York for two days, and then go back to Jin Ling to sell the necklace!"

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said to Xiao Churan: "Churan, how about this, you buy Mom a ticket from New York on Sunday night. Let's go to New York together on Friday afternoon to have a good time for two days. On Sunday night, Mom will fly back to the country directly from New York. You and Ye Chen can drive back to Providence. How about this arrangement?"

Xiao Churan knew that Ma Lan was determined to leave and couldn't keep her, so she nodded and agreed, saying: "Then it's a deal. I'll book your ticket for Sunday, and we'll go to New York together on Friday!" ===== CHAPTER 2293 =====
