Chapter 290: The father-in-law's hidden story

Hearing this, Ma Lan's eyes lit up!

She was just worrying that after Chen Shuyi left, she wouldn't be able to find a sucker. She didn't expect Qian Hongyan to find a substitute immediately!

Moreover, it sounded like this sucker was even richer than Chen Shuyi. Chen Shuyi lost thousands a day, while this sucker lost tens of thousands a day!

She liked playing mahjong with people who had a lot of money in their pockets but poor skills the most. It was simply a way to get rich!

If she could work from the inside out with Qian Hongyan and agree on some small secret signals, it would definitely be a sure win!

Thinking of this, she was suddenly overjoyed!

She was a person who typically valued money more than life. Seeing money, she was closer to it than seeing her own parents!

Now hearing Qian Hongyan say this, she couldn't help but feel an itch she couldn't scratch.

Seeing her heart moved, Qian Hongyan hurriedly whispered, "Let me tell you, sister-in-law, once we get to the mahjong table, we will watch each other's gestures. If you want a character tile, touch your nose; if you want a bamboo tile, point at your fingers; if you want a dot tile, purse your lips. Then we will help each other, eat and pong, and we will definitely leave them with nothing!"

Hearing this, Ma Lan immediately agreed happily and hurriedly said, "Okay, since you, sister-in-law, have said so, let's play a few rounds with her and see!"

Qian Hongyan beamed with joy and deliberately said, "That's settled. I tell you, this person is very rich and lives in the Tang Chen Yi Pin villa area. When do you think we should go over?"

Ma Lan immediately said, "Now is fine. Come on, sit in my BMW and let's go together!"

Sitting in the car, Qian Hongyan looked at Ma Lan's impatient demeanor and couldn't help but sneer coldly in her heart.

In order to set a trap for Ma Lan, she specifically invited two professional gamblers and spent a high price to rent a villa in Tang Chen Yi Pin for a short term, all to win all of Ma Lan's assets and leave this bitch with nothing!

Ma Lan didn't know that Qian Hongyan was setting a trap to pit her. Instead, she was single-mindedly thinking about rushing to slaughter that legendary sucker.

Just as Ma Lan and Qian Hongyan were rushing to Tang Chen Yi Pin, Ye Chen also took a taxi with his father-in-law to his alma mater, Zhong Shan University.

Looking at the magnificent gate tower carved from white marble at the entrance and the six large characters "National Zhong Shan University" above the gate tower, which looked especially aged, Ye Chen couldn't help but be surprised.

He didn't expect that this father-in-law, who usually looked incredibly cowardly, was actually a student from a prestigious university?

Moreover, prestigious university students from his era were much rarer than they are now...

Seeing Ye Chen's surprised gaze, Xiao Changkun snorted and said, "What, do you think Dad doesn't look like someone who went to university?"

Ye Chen nodded honestly and said, "Dad, your temperament really doesn't look like a university student..."

Xiao Changkun sighed, but said with a face full of pride, "Back in the day, I was also a popular figure in school. My academic performance was always at the top. If I hadn't wanted to stay close to home, I would have gone to Peking University."

Ye Chen asked with a chuckle, "Then what happened later? You graduated from a prestigious university, why did you end up being a househusband at home?"

Ye Chen felt that his father-in-law, a dignified prestigious university student and the second young master of the Xiao family, had ended up as a cowardly man who was scolded by Ma Lan every day, which was truly interesting.

Hearing this, Xiao Changkun's tone stalled, and he said sheepishly, "Later... sigh, don't mention later, it's all full of bitter tears..."

While the two were chatting, a middle-aged man of similar age to Xiao Changkun walked out from behind the gate tower. Seeing Xiao Changkun, the middle-aged man ran over excitedly.

"Changkun, it's been many years. You're doing well now, dressed so smartly..."

Xiao Changkun stared at the man in front of him for a long while before laughing and saying, "Are you Zhou Qing? It must have been many years since we last met. You look like a big boss. Did you get rich?"

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "I can't compare to you, Changkun. To use the popular words of the children today, you were a rich second generation back then..."

The Xiao family back then indeed had something.

At that time, the old master Xiao was in his prime and was in the first wave of people to go into business, earning a lot of money. So Xiao Changkun was also very glorious at that time. His pocket money alone was more than half the class combined.

It was precisely because he had money that he was targeted by Ma Lan from another class at that time.

At this time, Xiao Changkun heard others say he was a rich second generation back then and was about to be humble for a few words, but he didn't expect another middle-aged man and a young man to walk out.

The middle-aged man walked up, suddenly snorted coldly, and said, "Rich second generation? It's just because you guys came from out of town and don't know his situation... Let me tell you, the Xiao family is completely finished now. Our popular figure back then, Xiao Changkun, is having a hard time now..."

Xiao Changkun's face looked a bit ugly, and he said, "Pan Yuanming, why are you saying all this? I live my life, do I need you to point fingers?"

Zhou Qing hurriedly smoothed things over, saying, "You two are really something. It's been so many years, why do you still fight as soon as you meet? You fought every day in university. At this age, you still can't forget about fighting over a girlfriend back then?"

Xiao Changkun snorted and said with a proud face, "What's there to fight about with him? He was just a loser to me. Back then, after she got together with me, Pan Yuanming was so jealous that he drank heavily in the dormitory every day, and when he was drunk, he would cry. He wanted to skin me alive, hahahahaha."

At this time, many more middle-aged and elderly people came over. Everyone heard this and echoed with a laugh, "Pan Yuanming was truly infatuated back then. I remember that during that time, he cried every day, and his eyes were so swollen he couldn't even see."

"Yes, haha, everyone said Pan Yuanming was a romantic back then!"

Ye Chen listened to the conversation from the side and couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.

He didn't expect his father-in-law and this Pan Yuanming to be rivals in love?

Could it be that this Pan Yuanming also liked Ma Lan?

Could a fire pit like Ma Lan attract so many people to jump into it?

Were these two people's eyes that blind?

Pan Yuanming heard so many people teasing him about what happened back then and was suddenly angry again. He said coldly to Xiao Changkun, "Xiao Changkun, you are too irresponsible with your words. You say I was your loser? What a joke. Where did you win? Did Han Meiqing get together with you? Who doesn't know that Han Meiqing went far away to the United States back then and dumped you!"

Han Meiqing?

Hearing this, Ye Chen finally understood that the two of them weren't fighting over Ma Lan back then...

The surrounding classmates also laughed out loud.

Someone patted Xiao Changkun on the shoulder and asked curiously, "By the way, Changkun, why did Han Meiqing break up with you back then?"

"Yes! Everyone has been curious about this for decades. What exactly happened?"

Xiao Changkun didn't expect everyone to start surrounding him, asking about the unbearable past. So he waved his hand with an awkward expression: "Oh, let's not mention the past..."

Ye Chen suddenly caught a glimpse of pain in Xiao Changkun's awkward expression.

Could it be that there was some hidden story in the past between his father-in-law and mother-in-law? ===== CHAPTER 291 =====
