Chapter 3052

Hearing the officer say Ma Lan wanted to commit suicide, Xiao Churan immediately became extremely nervous and said, "Please take me to see her quickly!"

The officer also hurriedly said, "Come quickly, come quickly!"

After saying this, he hurriedly led Xiao Churan toward the room where Ma Lan was.

Ye Chen also happened to follow up. He placed the luggage at the entrance and then chased after them, stopping the two and asking, "Officer, where is Mr. Xiao, who came with Ms. Ma? Can you let me see him first?"

The officer asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Ye Chen explained, "I'm his son-in-law. I was thinking that my wife could go persuade my mother-in-law, and I could go persuade my father-in-law. Once they're both persuaded, we can take them home together."

The officer hurriedly said, "Oh, that would be great."

After saying this, he hurriedly beckoned to a colleague, "Xiao Xu, come here, take this gentleman to Xiao Changkun's room!"

That person hurriedly said, "Alright."

Ye Chen entered Xiao Changkun's room first.

As soon as he entered, he saw Xiao Changkun, looking a complete mess, sitting on a chair and smoking heavily. Another officer was persuading him, "You, don't hide things from your wife. If there's something to say, say it. Like you said yourself, you and your old flame didn't have anything unspeakable, so why didn't you tell her sooner? If you had cleared it up with her earlier, wouldn't this whole thing have been avoided?"

Xiao Changkun didn't realize Ye Chen had entered. He lowered his head, smoking while lying, "I... I just didn't want to complicate things."

The officer smiled, "Forget it. We're all men. If there was really nothing going on, you'd be dying to write it on your face and show your wife when you got home. Why didn't you let your wife know, and why did you keep it hidden for so long? Isn't it because you had other thoughts in your heart?"

Xiao Changkun didn't know how to respond for a moment.

At this time, the officer looked up and saw Ye Chen and the colleague who had brought him in, giving the other person an inquiring look.

That person said, "Xiao Changkun's son-in-law is here. Let them chat for a while."

Xiao Changkun suddenly looked up, and upon seeing Ye Chen, he hurriedly rushed over, crying, "Ye Chen! My good son-in-law, you really have to pull me out of this one!"

The two officers hurriedly left, leaving Ye Chen and Xiao Changkun in the room.

Ye Chen asked helplessly, "Dad, what's going on?"

Xiao Changkun said angrily, "Sigh! Don't mention it, damn it! That little Wu in our association, damn him, put the wedding invitation Han Meiqing gave me in my car yesterday!"

"You say, if this bastard wanted to put it there, fine, but today he had the nerve to call me specifically to remind me of this, as if he were trying to claim credit with his mother!"

"And the result? Ma Lan was sitting right next to me. Didn't she see the invitation?"

"Then she started asking me when Han Meiqing came back. I didn't say. She asked if I had an affair with her; I said nothing of the sort. But this woman, as if she'd suddenly become enlightened, sat there muttering and muttering, and guessed the whole thing almost exactly. Then she started fighting with me on the highway..."

After saying this, he looked at Ye Chen for help, "Good son-in-law, give me a strategy. See what I should do now. Ma Lan is not only going against me, but she also wants to go to Han Meiqing's wedding scene to question her about when she came back. Isn't this going to ruin my reputation in Jin Ling?"

Ye Chen sighed and said, "Dad, I told you a long time ago that this matter might explode, but you wouldn't believe me."

Xiao Changkun explained, "It's not that I didn't believe you, I just had wishful thinking..."

Ye Chen asked him, "Then how do you want to solve it now? I can find a way to stop Mom from going to the wedding. Even if she goes, I have a way to keep her from entering the scene. But the key is, what will you two do in the future? Do you want to divorce, or do you want to keep living together?"

Xiao Changkun's eyes dimmed, and he sighed heavily, spreading his hands and lamenting, "If I could have divorced, damn it, I would already be living with Han Meiqing. But if I divorce now, who would I live with? With Ma Lan's personality, could she tolerate me continuing to live at Tang Chen Yi Pin? Wouldn't she just kick me out of the house? I don't even have a place to stay. I can't just shamelessly go live next door with my mom and my brother, right?"

After finishing, Xiao Changkun sighed again, "They wouldn't let me go there either, damn it!"

Ye Chen asked him, "So you don't want to divorce?"

Xiao Changkun smiled bitterly, "Sigh, I'm at this age, so if I can avoid divorcing, I'd rather not... If I got divorced because of this, not to mention ending up with nothing, I wouldn't be able to show my face in public. And how would Churan look at me? How would I face her in the future?"

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun sighed again, "People say 'ride a donkey to find a horse,' and only when you find the horse can you abandon the donkey. My horse has already run off with someone else. If I abandon the donkey now, wouldn't I be finished? This deal is too much of a loss..."

Ye Chen smacked his lips, "Dad, to be honest, right now, not divorcing is actually the hardest thing to handle. You don't want to divorce, you don't want to move out, you don't want people pointing fingers at you, and you don't want Churan to have an opinion of you. The key to solving this is that you have to make Mom completely get over this hurdle. With Mom's personality of holding a grudge, do you think that's easy?"

Xiao Changkun was like a frost-bitten eggplant, lowering his head and muttering, "Not easy... Good son-in-law, why don't you lend me some money, and I'll go hide in another city for a while..."

Ye Chen asked again, "How long is 'a while'? If you run away, do you think Mom will spare you? You ran away, but your social circle didn't. With her personality, she will definitely list your crimes and denounce your misdeeds in front of everyone who knows you, and then you won't be able to come back."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "But it doesn't matter if you don't come back. I know some people overseas who are quite powerful. I have a buddy who is a local emperor in the Middle East. Why don't you go there?"

"No, no..." Xiao Changkun shook his head like a rattle, saying repeatedly, "I just want to go out and avoid the limelight, and come back after the wind blows over. It's impossible not to come back ever again... And after what you said, I feel like I shouldn't go out. If I leave, then this matter will be left to her mouth to say whatever damn thing she wants."

After finishing, he looked at Ye Chen pleadingly and asked, "Good son-in-law, how can I make your mom calm down and get over this? If you can help me get over this hurdle, you'll be my savior. From now on, if you say the word, even if I have to go through fire and water, I won't be surnamed Xiao if I even blink!"

Ye Chen sighed and said, "If you really want this matter to end peacefully, I do have a way. If you cooperate with me fully, there might still be a chance to save it. But I can't guarantee this method will work. If it succeeds, our family of four will walk out of here smiling and drive home. If it fails, then you're on your own, and I won't have any other good ways."

Xiao Changkun immediately asked, "Good son-in-law, what's the success rate of this method?"

Ye Chen said lightly, "Fifty-fifty."

Xiao Changkun said with a dejected expression, "I understand, you're not sure either."

Ye Chen said, "I said it's fifty-fifty. If it works, we succeed; if it fails, we fail. If it succeeds, we go home and live our lives. If it doesn't, I can't just watch you die. I'll rent you an apartment in the city, and you move out for a while to let Mom calm down. If she really wants to go to the University for the Elderly or the Calligraphy and Painting Association to make a scene, Churan and I will find a way to stop her."

After hearing this, Xiao Changkun gripped Ye Chen's hand and choked up, "Good son-in-law, with your words, Dad's heart is at least half at ease! Tell me, what's the method?"

Ye Chen said seriously, "Dad, if you really want to use this method, you have to be willing to sacrifice everything."

Xiao Changkun said decisively, "I'm willing, I'm willing, I'm willing to sacrifice anything. As long as I can get over this hurdle, I'll do whatever you tell me to do, and I'll go all out!"

After saying this, he felt unsure about Ye Chen's words and hurriedly asked, "Good son-in-law, if this doesn't work and you rent me a place, can you rent me a place in a better neighborhood? Also, can I keep driving that Cullinan?"
