Chapter 3462: There are mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people

The middle-aged man was shocked inside, but the young woman beside him didn't understand any of this.

Since she had been with the middle-aged man next to her, she hadn't had the chance to experience the prestige of a government aircraft, and the legends about government aircraft were only things she had heard her husband mention a few times.

And her husband indeed wasn't willing to spend a lot of money to charter a plane for long-distance travel; usually, it was just that when some company's government aircraft was on a regular flight to a certain city, or happened to come from a certain city to Jin Ling, returning empty would be uneconomical, so he would go through an intermediary to post a message, selling the return flight at a low price, and for a few tens of thousands of yuan in fuel money, he would casually bring people along, just like a taxi driver who, after finishing a long-distance trip, would cheaply pick up a return passenger.

To show off, the man had once spent 100,000 yuan to charter a plane from Jin Ling to Chang'an once; that single experience became his later bragging capital, and he told the woman that he usually always chartered a government aircraft no matter where he went.

But this trip to the Maldives was indeed too expensive; although it wasn't as costly as in the United States, it was during the Spring Festival holiday, prices had risen, and the quote came to nearly one million yuan, which he really couldn't bear to spend, so he fabricated a lie that the government aircraft was fully booked.

Ma Lan was skilled at discovering others' weaknesses; seeing that woman only caring about taking photos, she knew this woman was just like her, but her own experience was definitely richer, and crushing her was as easy as playing.

The woman was somewhat displeased at this moment, put down her phone, stared at Ma Lan, and angrily said: "You damn old hag, really annoying, my husband usually gives me money generously, this time just didn't get a booking, when is it your turn to act all high and mighty here? You talk as if you've ever taken an overseas chartered plane, what nonsense!"

Ma Lan laughed hahaha, and silently cursed in her heart: "Little brat, a couple of words from your horse grandma and you're led into a ditch, and you still dare to challenge me!"

Thinking this, she directly handed her phone to the two of them, sneering: "Look at this Moments video, open it and take a good look!"

The man was somewhat surprised, took the video and opened it, and found it was inside a privately decorated extremely luxurious private jet, with three flight attendants in the frame bowing deeply toward the direction of the filming, the lead person respectfully saying in his mouth: "Esteemed Ms. Ma, welcome aboard this flight, this flight flies directly from Jin Ling to Providence, USA, with an approximate airborne time of fifteen hours, I am the purser of this flight, and these two beside me are our cabin crew members; we three will serve you alone throughout this flight, you may command us anytime for any need..."

Seeing this, the man was already stunned.

Ma Lan then said with an arrogant face: "You might as well tell you, the plane I'm on is the famous Gulfstream G650, have you heard of it?"

He stared wide-eyed at Ma Lan, inwardly exclaiming: "What the hell is this old woman's background? Chartering such a nice private jet to go to the United States, and it's just her alone! Damn, one trip would cost over a million, round trip at least two million—does her family have a mine?"

After watching the video, the woman instead had a disdainful expression and said: "Pfft, just a video, what can it prove? I know there are now many cheaply made short dramas; they can get any kind of film set, let alone filming in a private jet, even in the Forbidden City it wouldn't be surprising!"

The man hurriedly scolded her: "Shut your mouth for me, eat your food properly! Can't all this food shut your mouth?"

The woman hadn't expected her husband to actually rebuke her, and said aggrieved: "Husband, why are you yelling at me! Clearly it's this stinking old hag causing trouble!"

The man pointed at her nose and cursed: "Shut up! Tell you to shut up and you're still not listening? More nonsense and don't blame me for whipping you outside!"

The woman, after being scolded, had a face full of fear, afraid to speak.

After the man finished scolding his wife, he obsequiously handed his phone with both hands to Ma Lan, respectfully saying: "Ms. Ma, oh no, Aunt Ma, sorry, we have eyes but don't recognize Taishan, please don't hold it against us common folk!"

This man actually only had a net worth of a few tens of millions, that Bentley was also a used car, and he hadn't actually spent much money on it, but to ordinary people, he would definitely be considered rich, so he occasionally liked to show off, but he clearly knew in his heart that facing someone who could spend over a million to charter a private jet for a trip to the United States, his own ability was definitely far inferior.

Ma Lan hadn't expected this guy to have been so arrogant outside the airport just moments ago, but after seeing her Moments video, he immediately wilted, and a victorious smug smile instantly appeared on her face.

At the same time, she also thought in her heart: "Usually liking to post on Moments to show off, it really has no downside, today it just came in handy, didn't it?"

Thinking this, she let out a cold snort and said to the man: "Young man, I'll tell you, when you're out and about, don't always think you're the most awesome; you need to know what 'there are mountains beyond mountains, people beyond people' means—my husband after all is a leader of the Calligraphy and Painting Association, usually when going out he can't be too ostentatious, if it were just me going to the Maldives, I'd definitely still take the Gulfstream G650, you think I'd be willing to sit in first class with your kind?"

The middle-aged man's aura had already been completely overwhelmed by Ma Lan, and he hurriedly said with an apologetic expression: "Yes yes, Aunt Ma, you're absolutely right, from now on we'll definitely keep a lower profile!"

Ma Lan nodded satisfied, and said lightly: "This time we'll just let it go, pay more attention next time."

After saying that, she lifted her chin and turned around to walk back to her family's side.

Xiao Changkun was utterly stunned, seeing Ma Lan return, he immediately asked her in a low voice: "Wife, when did you take a private jet to the United States, I didn't know anything about it?"

Xiao Churan at this moment also had a face full of surprise.

She naturally knew her mother had been to the United States once; before, when she was studying a master's class in Providence, her mother had said she missed her and had gone to the United States once.

But her mother had never said she went by private jet.

And, how could she possibly have the money to afford a private jet?

Xiao Churan also couldn't help but ask: "Yeah, Mom, how come I've never heard you took a private jet to the States? Where did you get the private jet?"

Ma Lan felt somewhat unnatural, twisted and turned, and said in a low voice: "Wasn't it that I often went to Harbour City to buy things before? There was a jewelry store, just happened to be running some promotion and raffle, first prize worth 1.2 million, and I ended up winning it, you guess how it was—they didn't give 1.2 million in cash, they provided a once-in-a-lifetime private jet charter to the United States worth 1.2 million, and if you give up this opportunity, it's equivalent to wasting it, and it can't be cashed out; I thought, since you guys are in the United States anyway, I might as well go see you."

Xiao Changkun was both surprised and delighted: "Awesome buddy, your wife still has this kind of luck?! This is too awesome! And you said just now you let that guy look at your Moments, did you post on Moments? I don't know anything about it."

Ma Lan coughed twice, reminding him: "Keep your voice down, don't let people hear."

After saying that, she then added: "At the time I posted on Moments and blocked all of you, didn't want you to know, keeping a low profile, understand?"

Xiao Changkun had a puzzled look: "Blocking family members counts as keeping a low profile?"

At this moment, Xiao Churan's heart was full of doubt, thinking: What kind of jewelry store would launch such an unfathomable raffle and prize? Definitely not right!

Then she thought of the person beside her, Ye Chen, and her heart suddenly became clear.

If all this was secretly orchestrated by Ye Chen, then it wouldn't be surprising at all……
