Chapter 3056: Reborn from the ashes

Although Xiao Changkun really had no ability and no real talent, he had always thought highly of himself for so many years.

In front of his wife and daughter, he had never admitted that he was inferior to anyone.

Therefore, when he suddenly spoke in front of his wife and daughter and directly said he was a piece of shit, both Ma Lan and Xiao Churan were stunned.

Such words had never been heard from Xiao Changkun's mouth for decades.

And Xiao Changkun himself was unwilling to say such things to mock himself.

But before coming over, Ye Chen repeatedly told him that this sentence must be said, and it must be said out loud. This was the true way to be reborn from the ashes.

Because Ye Chen was certain that this sentence was the key to him overcoming this crisis.

After Xiao Changkun said this, his heart was bleeding crazily. He felt that he was completely putting his old face on the ground and stomping on it, stomping on it to death, in order to dissolve Ma Lan's suspicion of him. Personally saying he was a piece of shit, personally saying his sweetheart could never look at him—this feeling made him feel extremely painful and inferior.

But he knew that there was no turning back. Han Meiqing had already been missed, and he absolutely could not lose Ma Lan again.

Therefore, when Xiao Changkun saw that Ma Lan and Xiao Churan were both somewhat horrified, he could only adjust his mindset, grit his teeth, and continue: "A person as high and mighty as Han Meiqing, seeing a piece of shit like me, would only cover her nose and take a detour. How could I possibly have any unspeakable business with a piece of shit like me?"

After finishing, he looked at Ma Lan and continued: "Wife, I am a piece of shit like this. In this world, if you don't want me, who else would want me? No one else looks at me, so how could I give you a green hat?"

Ma Lan saw Xiao Changkun's self-deprecating and sorrowful appearance, plus the bloodstains on his face that she had scratched, and she completely believed Ye Chen's words in her heart.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt and heartache for Xiao Changkun.

So, Xiao Changkun kept it from her just because he didn't want her to be stimulated by Han Meiqing.

And after hearing what Ye Chen said, she knew herself that the gap between her and Han Meiqing was too big. If they really met, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to recover for ten years.

Looking at Xiao Changkun's face, which had been scratched to pieces by her, she felt even more guilty, and the balance in the depths of her heart underwent a complete reversal.

She looked at the self-mocking Xiao Changkun with red eyes and choked: "Husband... when I asked you in the car, why didn't you tell me the truth? If you had told me the truth, how could I have laid a hand on you..."

When Xiao Changkun heard this, while feeling relieved, he couldn't help but secretly sigh: "Damn it, if I had Ye Chen's brain and eloquence and could think of this way to quibble, of course I would have told you long ago, and I wouldn't have ended up with my face scratched to pieces by you."

However, he said with emotion: "Sigh! My intention was still not to let you know about these things. We are all ordinary people. How can we compare to successful people and billionaires? So I hope you never know about these things in your life, so you won't be stimulated, won't collapse, and can live our own lives steadily."

As he spoke, he said with some relief: "Ye Chen was right just now. Actually, I'm not worthy of a woman like Han Meiqing at all. I'm not even from the same world as her. I'm just an ordinary wimp of an old man, a loser with no ability, no level, and who likes to show off and loves face everywhere... You suspected I gave you a green hat, and I should thank you for thinking so highly of me. If anyone else heard about this, they might ask me, 'Xiao Changkun, are you worthy?'..."

After finishing, he looked at Ma Lan and choked: "Wife, I also want to thank you. In others' eyes, I'm a loser, a piece of trash, a piece of shit. In your eyes, I actually became a scumbag who could make a rich woman worth ten billion travel thousands of miles to rekindle old flames with me... Wife, in this world, maybe only you think so highly of me and treat me like a treasure..."

Ma Lan heard him mock himself like this, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in her heart, hurriedly saying: "Alright Changkun, stop calling yourself a piece of shit. We are just ordinary common people living our lives. Rich people live their rich lives. Although we can't compare to them, we aren't living badly now. I have that self-awareness and know that I can't compare to her in any aspect."

As she spoke, Ma Lan took the initiative to go up, hold his arm, and said: "Alright, what happened just now was my fault. You kindly took care of my emotions, but I took it as a donkey's liver and lungs. Don't worry, I won't mention this matter again in the future. Just pretend it never happened. Don't hold a grudge against me, okay?"

When Xiao Changkun heard this, his heart was completely relieved. Having survived a disaster, he said from the bottom of his heart: "How could I? I definitely won't hold a grudge against you."

Ma Lan nodded movedly and said: "Look, daughter has been in the United States for so long, and today she finally came back. Let's not be a joke for others here. Come, let's go home!"

Xiao Changkun felt relieved, nodded heavily, and said with teary eyes: "Okay! Let's go home!"

After that, the two affectionately held each other's arms and walked out.

Xiao Churan was stunned, while Ye Chen wiped away cold sweat. This is what it means to be reborn from the ashes. It seems it was a real success. Ma Lan will definitely not mention Han Meiqing again in the future, and will even try every possible way to avoid meeting Han Meiqing.

In this way, what he said won't be exposed.

Xiao Churan, who was on the side, came back to her senses and whispered: "Husband, you're too amazing! You could even round this up!"

Ye Chen laughed: "No choice. For the sake of family harmony, I didn't even want my face."

Xiao Churan held him and said happily: "Sacrificing the small self to achieve the big self. Husband, you have made a great contribution!"

At this time, the traffic police outside saw the two who were fighting desperately just now actually walking out arm in arm, and one by one they rubbed their eyes in disbelief.

The traffic police handling the case asked subconsciously: "You... you two aren't fighting anymore?"

Ma Lan hurriedly shook her head and said: "Not fighting, not fighting. Sorry for the trouble, comrade traffic police!"

After saying this, she even bowed to them, which was rare.

Xiao Changkun also hurriedly said: "Comrade traffic police, don't worry. In the future, I will absolutely not park randomly on the highway!"

The traffic police nodded subconsciously in a daze and said: "Just know that. Your driver's license only has three points left. Be careful. If they're deducted, you'll have to study."

Xiao Changkun nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, I will strictly abide by the road traffic laws in the future and won't cause you any trouble!"

The family of four walked out of the traffic police team one after another. Ye Chen moved Xiao Churan's luggage into the car, and Ma Lan said: "Good son-in-law, you drive on the way back. Let your dad rest in the back."

Ye Chen nodded and sat in the front row with Xiao Churan, while Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan sat in the back row.

As the car drove out, Ye Chen saw Ma Lan touching the wound on Xiao Changkun's face with heartache in the rearview mirror and whispered: "Husband, does it hurt? I'm sorry..."

Xiao Changkun really felt some emotion in his heart. Plus, the words just now made him completely lose the inexplicable sense of superiority he had before, and his attitude toward Ma Lan also changed greatly.

So, he shook his head and said: "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

After that, he subconsciously reached out and quietly held Ma Lan's hand, and a blush flashed across Ma Lan's face.

Ma Lan also held Xiao Changkun's hand tightly and said very seriously: "You are my husband. In the future, you are absolutely not allowed to call yourself a piece of shit again. Not under any circumstances. Do you understand?"

Xiao Changkun didn't know if he was really moved or pretending, but he nodded repeatedly with red eyes: "Okay wife, I know!" ===== CHAPTER 3057 =====
