Chapter 321: Director of the Calligraphy and Painting Association

Xiao Changgan was trembling all over with rage caused by Xiao Changkun!

He occasionally saw the meme "Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore" on various news headlines on his phone.

At that time, he had even had crooked thoughts, thinking that if he became rich in the future and met a young, beautiful girl who said to him, "Uncle, I don't want to work hard anymore," he could directly send her an address and let her come find him...

Of course, this only existed in the lewd fantasies in his mind; he never had the guts, nor the strength, to turn it into reality.

However, now that he heard Xiao Changkun talk about his wife like that, he didn't know why, but that sense of imagery suddenly became very intense!

In his mind, he even imagined a scene of a young man sitting in his wife's lap, fawningly calling her "Auntie"...

For a moment, Xiao Changgan felt as if he didn't know how many green hats had been placed on his head, and he was extremely angry inside.

In this instant, he was both anxious and furious, gritting his teeth as he cursed: "Xiao Changkun, what right do you have to mock my wife? Your wife is even less of a good thing! It's fortunate you have no money; if you were rich, someone like Ma Lan would have already kept ten boy toys outside!"

Just then, the door to Xiao Changkun's bedroom opened, and Ma Lan ran out in a rage, pointing at Xiao Changgan's nose and cursing: "Xiao Changgan, your own wife ran away, so why are you coming to our house to throw a tantrum? You even dare to mock me? Why don't you look at what kind of thing you are yourself!"

Seeing that Ma Lan had finally come out, Xiao Changgan sternly questioned: "Ma Lan! Have you seen Qian Hongyan or not?!"

Ma Lan cursed: "I said I haven't seen her, so I haven't seen her. Why do you have so much nonsense? I told you, Qian Hongyan kept a boy toy outside and ran away with the money. Believe it or not, it's up to you!"

Xiao Changgan gritted his teeth and cursed: "You say she kept a boy toy; what evidence do you have?"

Ma Lan said coldly: "Your wife and the money are both missing; what more evidence do you need? If you want evidence, can't you go find it yourself? Why come to my house to look for it?"

Xiao Changgan was so angry he was about to have a heart attack. At this moment, Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly from the side: "That's enough, go home! Don't make a spectacle of yourself here!"

Xiao Changgan pointed at Ma Lan with hatred and cursed: "You shrew, you damn well wait for me! Sooner or later, I'll deal with you!"

Ma Lan spat a mouthful of phlegm on him and said angrily: "You're so poor you can't even afford to eat, and you still want to deal with me? Sooner or later, you old bastard will starve to death!"

Having said that, Ma Lan directly closed the front door.

Xiao Changgan was furious, but he didn't dare to continue pestering, fearing that Ye Chen would beat him up again in a fit of rage, so he could only leave dejectedly with the old lady.

Arriving at the entrance of the residential complex, Old Mrs. Xiao said to Xiao Changgan with a dark face: "I'll give you three days to find Qian Hongyan for me. If you can't find her, bring the money back to me. Otherwise, you don't need to come back to this house either!"

After finishing, the old lady flicked her sleeves and left in anger.

Xiao Changgan was almost on the verge of a breakdown.

The world is so big, where is he supposed to find Qian Hongyan?!

It seems he can only go to Qian Hongyan's maiden home to take a look first.

Having cursed Xiao Changgan away, Ma Lan's extremely depressed mood finally improved just a little bit.

Xiao Changkun didn't know about everything that happened today and still thought Qian Hongyan had really run away with the money, saying with a face full of schadenfreude: "Haha, my big brother is truly clever for a lifetime but confused for a moment. He calculated everything but didn't calculate that his own backyard would catch fire. It's hilarious, hahahaha!"

Ye Chen glanced at Ma Lan; he hadn't expected this mother-in-law to be quite quick-witted. She adamantly denied to Xiao Changgan that she had seen Qian Hongyan and even insisted on framing Qian Hongyan for having an affair and running away with the money, instantly shifting Xiao Changgan's attention elsewhere.

Ma Lan looked at Ye Chen with hatred; her eyes wished she could eat him alive!

It was all this loser's fault for making He Lian and Qian Hongyan donate all the money she lost. Now that she had lost all the family's money, she didn't know how to hide it from Xiao Changkun!

At this time, Xiao Changkun said excitedly: "By the way, wife, give me twenty thousand yuan; I need to treat guests to dinner tomorrow."

"Treat guests to dinner?" Ma Lan suddenly became nervous and blurted out: "Who are you treating that could cost twenty thousand yuan?!"

Xiao Changkun said with uncontrollable joy: "I joined our Jin Ling Calligraphy and Painting Association a while ago, and now there is a vacancy for an executive director position in the association. I want to strive for it! So I want to treat the president and other executive directors to a meal to build some rapport."

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun said proudly: "If I can secure this executive director position, then I will be considered a famous person in the Jin Ling antique circle from now on!"

Ma Lan hurriedly cursed: "Are you crazy? Twenty thousand yuan to treat guests to dinner? Do you think our home is a printing press? I'm telling you, I don't agree!"

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said: "Oh wife, isn't this because I want to climb higher? Once I become an executive director, I will have many more opportunities to come into contact with antiques and paintings, and many more opportunities to pick up bargains. You've seen my ability to pick up bargains; I earned hundreds of thousands in one go!"

Ma Lan felt very guilty and said: "That still doesn't mean you can spend twenty thousand yuan to treat guests to dinner! Do you really think the money at home came from a strong wind?"

Xiao Changkun said angrily: "If I spend this money, I will definitely be able to earn it back in the future! If nothing else, can't you just count it as me borrowing it from you?"

Ma Lan said with great disdain: "Who doesn't know your lousy level? Even if you become an executive director, what use will it be? I think you're about the same as Ye Chen, becoming a big liar who only knows how to bluff people all day long!"

Xiao Changkun suddenly became anxious: "You old woman, why do you look down on me so much?"

Ma Lan snorted: "I just look down on you, so what? I'm telling you, if you want money, there is none!"

After finishing, she turned around and returned to the room, feigning anger.

Xiao Changkun was very depressed.

You stinky woman, what kind of trick are you playing?

You won't even give me twenty thousand yuan?

I've earned quite a bit of money, at least!

Just as he wanted to go into the room to reason with Ma Lan, Ye Chen hurriedly stopped him and smiled: "Dad, since Mom isn't willing to give you money, it's useless for you to chase her for it."

Xiao Changkun said angrily: "But I've already greeted them, I have to treat them to dinner! I only have a thousand yuan in my pocket, how is that enough to treat guests to dinner!"

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun added: "Our president even said that my chances of becoming this executive director are very high; it just depends on whether I can perform well!"

Hearing this, a sense of helplessness suddenly surged in Ye Chen's heart.

This father-in-law of his doesn't know anything about antiques or paintings; he is completely a novice among novices. He has been scammed so many times and lost quite a bit of money, and in the end, he only earned a sum by scamming that Zhang Ermao.

It is said that Zhang Ermao now avoids him every day, doesn't answer his calls, doesn't reply to his WeChat, and if he sees him on the antique street, he would rather abandon his stall than flee.

A person like him, mixing in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, is just making up the numbers.

However, Ye Chen naturally wouldn't say such things, so he said to Xiao Changkun: "Dad, I still have some private money; I'll transfer twenty thousand to your WeChat."

Hearing this, Xiao Changkun immediately said with great excitement: "Oh, my good son-in-law! You've really done Dad a huge favor!"

Ye Chen sighed, transferred twenty thousand yuan to him, and said: "Churan is coming back soon; I'm going to cook."

Xiao Changkun received the money and hurriedly said fawningly: "Good son-in-law, I'll come help you wash the rice!" ===== CHAPTER 322 =====
