Chapter 2536
Xiao Churan didn't expect that she had come to comfort her mother, but ended up being misinterpreted by her. In desperation, she could only explain: "Mom, I didn't mean that..."
Ma Lan waved her hand decadently: "Forget it, you don't need to explain to me. Explanation is just a cover-up. You just think from the bottom of your heart that I can't succeed in live streaming!"
Xiao Churan sighed: "Then what do you think yourself? If you think you still have a chance, then I support you if you want to continue live streaming. But there is one point: no matter whether this matter succeeds or fails in the end, you must control your emotions. You can't end up with a belly full of anger without getting anything done. Wouldn't it be even more of a loss if you get sick from anger?"
Although Ma Lan is sharp-tongued and unreasonable, she can sometimes tell right from wrong. She knew very well that there was nothing wrong with what her daughter said.
When doing things, you certainly can't lose money, lose the battle, and lose the person.
So, she looked at Xiao Churan, nodded, and said: "Alright Churan, don't worry. I was just a bit angry just now, I'll be able to adjust soon. Isn't it just banning me for 72 hours? I'll come back after 72 hours! I've served the Xiao family for nearly thirty years, do I still care about these 72 hours? Even if it's 72 days, I'll fight them to the end!"
Seeing her mother's attitude of never giving up, Xiao Churan didn't know whether to praise her or criticize her for a moment.
However, she thought about it again. After all, it was a 72-hour ban, which meant that for the next three days, she didn't have to worry about her mother causing such trouble.
This made her mood feel a little lighter, so she asked Ma Lan: "Mom, dinner is left for you, do you want to go down and eat something?"
"Eat my ass." Ma Lan said depressedly: "I'm already full of anger from those bastards, what else is there to eat..."
Xiao Churan said helplessly: "Then wait until you're hungry."
Ma Lan nodded and said somewhat depressedly: "Alright Churan, go eat, let Mom stay alone for a while."
As she spoke, Ma Lan couldn't help but sigh: "This period of time has been really unlucky. Did I use up all my luck after that lottery win?"
Xiao Churan asked curiously: "Mom, what lottery win are you talking about?"
"Hey!" Ma Lan said subconsciously: "Isn't that from when I bought things last time..."
Speaking of this, Ma Lan realized she had almost let it slip, so she hurriedly made up a story: "Actually, it was when I went to the mall before and won a grand prize. They said I could buy old-pit jade at 0.1% of the price. A million-dollar old-pit jade was only sold for ten thousand yuan..."
Xiao Churan said subconsciously: "Those are all scams, you didn't fall for it, did you?"
Ma Lan hurriedly said: "Of course I didn't buy it. Who could scam me?"
Xiao Churan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "As long as you didn't buy it. These things are all scams. They say it's a million sold for ten thousand, but in fact, it might not even be worth a hundred yuan."
As she spoke, seeing that Ma Lan's mood didn't have any big problems, she wanted to let her digest it herself, so she said: "Mom, you calm down alone, I'll go down first."
Just as Xiao Churan turned to leave, Ma Lan remembered something, hurriedly stopped her, and said: "By the way Churan, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"
Xiao Churan thought for a while and said: "I plan to go to the company to take a look. I was busy tidying up the house today and didn't go over."
Ma Lan asked her with a bit of pleading: "Churan, can Mom ask you for a favor?"
Xiao Churan said: "Mom, why are you being so polite with me? Just tell me whatever you need me to do."
Ma Lan said very seriously: "Mom wants to go to Qixia Temple early tomorrow morning to worship Buddha and pray for Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless Mom. I thought about it carefully. Ever since I went to the United States, it seems like things haven't been very smooth! If the luck is not good, the wealth luck will definitely not be very good. It would be a ghost if live streaming and selling goods could make money! So it's better to take advantage of the time when the live streaming room is banned to go to the temple to worship more."
Xiao Churan hesitated for a moment. She felt that it was inappropriate for her mother to go to worship Buddha to pray for blessings for live streaming and selling goods, not to mention that she hadn't been to the company for so long and wanted to go back and take a look as soon as possible.
So she said to Ma Lan: "Mom, why don't you let Ye Chen accompany you."
Ma Lan showed a look of embarrassment and said: "That... Churan... you should accompany Mom. I'm embarrassed to order my good son-in-law around. What if he has an opinion about me in his heart? That wouldn't be appropriate... Besides, my legs aren't convenient now, I have to use crutches to walk, and it wouldn't be appropriate to have my good son-in-law help me..."
"And I don't want him and your Dad to know about this. Let's just go together. If it really doesn't work, we'll leave early. We'll leave home at seven o'clock and arrive at the place at seven-thirty. After I finish worshiping Buddha, you can go to work. You'll definitely be able to arrive at the company by nine-thirty. That's not too late, right?"
In Ma Lan's eyes today, Ye Chen is already the pillar of the whole family, so she doesn't dare to consume Ye Chen's patience with her too much. Although she feels in her heart that she can definitely succeed in live streaming and selling goods, before this matter succeeds, she really doesn't want the people around her to know, especially if she doesn't succeed after they know, that would be too shameful.
Her live streaming debut tonight encountered Waterloo, and she still wants to go to Qixia Temple to worship Buddha and pray for Buddha's blessing. If she let Ye Chen accompany her, she would also worry that Ye Chen would look down on her in his heart.
After all, she also knows very well that she really did a lot of embarrassing things when she went to the United States this time, adding a lot of trouble to Ye Chen.
Hearing her say this, Xiao Churan also knew what she was worried about. While feeling helpless, she also wanted to try her best to help her mother maintain an image that was not very glorious to begin with.
So, her heart softened and she said: "Alright, then let's leave early tomorrow morning."
At this very moment.
Zijin Villa.
The whole mountain was already plunged into darkness. Although there were dim courtyard lights in the three-story courtyard, the trees were dense, and from the outside, basically no light could be seen.
And at this moment, in the courtyard on the top floor of Zijin Villa, Lin Wan'er was using her flawless fragrant shoulders to break through the fresh rose petals floating on the surface of the hot spring pool, creating ripples on the water surface.
Subsequently, her incomparable figure stepped on the stone steps in the water and slowly walked onto the bluestone by the hot spring pool.
By her feet, in a bronze incense burner, a coil of seal incense made of Laoshan sandalwood was burning. The slow green smoke carried a refreshing woody fragrance and rose slowly.
Lin Wan'er wrapped herself in a bathrobe without haste, squatted down slightly with her legs to one side, picked up the incense burner, held it with both hands, and returned to the room.
After bathing and burning incense, Lin Wan'er changed into a clean and simple robe, tucked her long hair behind her head, and took out an object wrapped in silk from a bag she was carrying.
She slowly opened the silk, and lying inside was the wooden plaque brought from Northern Europe, on which eight characters were written: "Spirit Tablet of My Late Father Lin Zhulu."
She respectfully placed the spirit tablet on the altar, then lit three sticks of incense, and after three respectful bows, inserted the incense into the incense burner in front of the spirit tablet.
Subsequently, she knelt on both knees, looked at the spirit tablet with her eyes, and said respectfully: "Father, Wan'er has arrived in Jin Ling safely and has been lucky enough to find the person she was looking for. You said before that you always wanted to come to Qixia Mountain in Jin Ling to worship your ancestors, but you never fulfilled your wish. Tomorrow morning, Wan'er will climb Qixia Mountain to worship the Lin family ancestors. I hope your spirit in heaven will know!"
