Chapter 2293: Eagerly Awaiting
Xiao Churan saw that Ma Lan's attitude was firm, although she felt somewhat helpless in her heart.
But after a little consideration, she also felt that it was indeed more convenient and comfortable for her mother to return to the United States than to stay here.
What's more, she had to attend classes five days a week and didn't have much time to accompany her, so it would definitely be a trouble for Ye Chen.
Therefore, she said: "Mom, the day after tomorrow, Friday, after I finish class, we will drive to New York, and I will book your ticket for Sunday."
"Great!" Ma Lan became excited all of a sudden and blurted out: "Hurry up and book the ticket for Mom, don't let it sell out later."
Ye Chen on the side said: "Mom, I'll book it for you."
Ma Lan nodded repeatedly: "Good, good, good, thank you good son-in-law!"
Ye Chen was also straightforward. He immediately took out his mobile phone, found the flight from New York back to the country on Sunday, and then immediately bought her a ticket.
Ma Lan soon received the ticket issuance information sent by the airline. Seeing that the ticket was confirmed, Ma Lan was happy and excited, as if a wanderer who had been drifting for many years finally had the opportunity to go home.
Subsequently, Ma Lan carefully put away the Goddess of Dreams necklace that Ye Chen gave her, and then said to the two: "Oh my, I also made an appointment to go to the brisk walking team, I'm going to be late soon. You two should enjoy your two-person world, I'm going out first!"
As she said that, without waiting for the two to respond, she hurriedly changed into sports shoes and left the room.
After Ma Lan left, Xiao Churan said to Ye Chen with some doubts: "Husband, do you feel that Mom's state is a bit wrong?"
"Wrong?" Ye Chen asked curiously: "Where do you think Mom is wrong? I feel it's very normal. She is just eager to return home."
Xiao Churan shook her head very seriously, her expression slightly solemn: "It's not about returning to the country, it's the necklace you gave Mom, it's not right."
"Necklace?" Ye Chen was even more puzzled: "That necklace was bought at a specialty counter, it's impossible to be fake."
Xiao Churan said hurriedly: "Silly husband, of course I won't suspect that you bought fake goods. I just said that Mom's attitude toward that necklace of yours is wrong!"
As she said that, she analyzed seriously: "Husband, look, I know Mom's personality best, but you should also know very well that this person's biggest problem is loving to show off. Let alone you giving her a necklace, even if you gave her a valuable sofa, she would wish she could hold it and go to the street. But you just gave her such a valuable necklace, and she didn't wear it immediately, but put it away... This... isn't this strange?"
Hearing Xiao Churan's analysis, Ye Chen couldn't help but look at his silly wife with admiration.
It seems that Xiao Churan really knows her mother best. With Ma Lan's personality, if she has good things, she absolutely cannot hide them.
Therefore, Ma Lan just carefully put away the necklace he gave her. This behavior was indeed a bit abnormal for her.
However, Ye Chen knew very well why Ma Lan did this.
The reason is nothing more than because he just said that the better the condition, the more valuable it is to sell second-hand.
It is estimated that Ma Lan can't bear to wear it at all, and wants to take it back and sell it for a good price as brand new.
So, Ye Chen smiled and said to Xiao Churan: "I analyze that Mom might feel it's too late now, even if she wears it out, others won't be able to see it. And she is going to participate in the brisk walking team, the exercise is relatively intense, and it is not suitable to wear jewelry. Don't think too much."
Xiao Churan shook her head and said earnestly: "I think things shouldn't be that simple. You wait and see if Mom wears that necklace tomorrow. If she still doesn't wear it tomorrow, then I guess she wants to sell that necklace."
Ye Chen did not expect Xiao Churan to be able to predict Ma Lan so accurately, so he smiled and said: "Oh my, don't worry so much. Since it's something given to Mom, it's her freedom how to deal with it, we have no right to interfere."
"Besides, I don't think Mom would do such a thing. If you don't believe it, when we return to the country, you will know if this necklace is still there."
Xiao Churan couldn't help sighing and said helplessly: "I don't want to interfere with her affairs either, but she is indeed very disappointing sometimes. After all, this necklace was given to her by you. I hope she won't sell it for profit."
Ye Chen smiled: "Don't worry, when we go back, this necklace will definitely still be there."
Xiao Churan didn't know why Ye Chen was so sure, but it was not easy to discuss such hypothetical questions too deeply, so she nodded and sighed: "I hope so..."
At this very moment, New York, Fei family.
Ever since the plane that Fei Kexin and Ye Chen took off from Hong Kong, Fei Jianzhong had been anxiously and expectantly waiting at home. This wait lasted for a whole day.
Although Fei Jianzhong successfully extended his life by relying on the half-pill of Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill given by Ye Chen, he also knew very well that he was already dying at the time, and most of the medicine's efficacy was estimated to have been spent on saving his life, rather than extending it.
This is also why Ye Chen said at the time that this half-pill could make him live for another year, or two years at most.
It is precisely because of this that Fei Jianzhong had long since started to count down his life in his heart. He placed most of his hope on next year's Rejuvenation Pill auction, but he was also very uneasy about it.
After all, he is no longer the head of the Fei family now. When he was the head of the Fei family, he failed to successfully bid for the Rejuvenation Pill, and now that he has abdicated, the situation next year is still unknown.
Although he did not doubt Fei Kexin's character and filial piety, he was worried that the price of next year's Rejuvenation Pill would be higher than this year, perhaps even much higher.
If it is really much higher, then even if Fei Kexin is willing to pay, I am afraid she will be powerless.
Therefore, Fei Kexin's trip to Hong Kong to help Ye Chen solve Chen Zhaozhong's matter this time gave Fei Jianzhong a glimmer of hope.
He considered himself relatively familiar with Ye Chen's character. Generally speaking, he would not owe others favors, and in many cases, he would return respect for respect.
As the head of the Fei family, Fei Kexin ran so far, so he thought Ye Chen should have some response more or less.
Fei Jianzhong did not dare to expect Ye Chen to give Fei Kexin a Rejuvenation Pill, but if Ye Chen could give her half a Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill, then for himself, it would be an extra one or two, or even two or three years of life.
It is precisely because of this that he didn't sleep well all night yesterday, his mind was full of the Blood-Dispersing Heart-Saving Pill, and he even had no appetite for tea or rice all day today.
Several times in the middle, he almost couldn't help but want to call or send a message to ask Fei Kexin, but thinking that she should be with Ye Chen the whole time, he could only wait for Fei Kexin to come back and reveal the answer to him personally.
The plane Fei Kexin took first sent Ye Chen to Providence, and then flew from Providence to New York. One take-off and one landing, plus the flight in between, delayed for about forty minutes.
When he heard that Fei Kexin's plane had already landed at New York Kennedy Airport, Fei Jianzhong felt even more uneasy.
Originally, he really wanted to go to the airport to pick her up, so he could reveal the mystery as soon as possible.
However, thinking that his granddaughter was already very smart and extremely good at observing details, he was afraid that his behavior would make Fei Kexin notice something, so he could only suppress his impulse and wait anxiously at home.
When the butler ran to tell him that the eldest lady's motorcade had already entered the main gate, he couldn't hold back anymore and hurriedly said to the butler: "Quick, help me go outside to welcome her!" ===== CHAPTER 2294 =====
