Chapter 427

~8 min read 1,427 words

Ye Chen was considering the problem, and Xiao Churan asked impatiently, "How is it on your and Dad's side? Any clues?"

"Uh..." Ye Chen looked at the pile of skewers and beer in front of him and said dishonestly, "We have been looking for mahjong parlors, asked around, but there are no clues for the time being."

Xiao Churan sighed and said, "Then you continue to look for them, and Ruolin and I will continue to look for them too."

"Okay." Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Dad and I will definitely try our best to look for her!"

"Good." Xiao Churan said, "Then I'll hang up first, let's communicate in time if there's anything."

"No problem!"

Ye Chen hung up the phone, and Xiao Changkun had already started eating skewers with a big appetite.

He drank a cup of beer and poured a cup for Ye Chen, eating skewers while saying, "Good son-in-law, no one is spoiling our fun today, let's have a good drink, come, let's have one first."

Ye Chen felt funny in his heart. The father-in-law is liberated now that Ma Lan is not here. He nodded and said, "You should drink less, drinking too much is not good for your health."

Xiao Changkun laughed and said, "People are in high spirits when they are happy, I am hoping now that your mom was fooled into a pyramid scheme, anyway, if she goes in and suffers a bit, she won't die, trap her for three or five years, and let us have a few years of peaceful life."

Ye Chen nodded and lamented, "I also think it's quite good, but I'm afraid Churan won't be able to accept it."

Xiao Changkun sighed, "That's true, Churan is a filial child, too filial, the key is that it's all blind filial piety! For a person like your mom, is she worth being so filial to? You have no blood relationship with her, you tell me yourself, if your own mother were like this, would you still be filial to her?"

Ye Chen was a bit embarrassed and a bit melancholy, "If my mother were still alive, even if her personality and temper were worse than my mother-in-law's, I would be a hundred times willing."

"That's true." Xiao Changkun said embarrassedly, "Sorry, Dad shouldn't have mentioned this, let's take me as an example, look at Churan's grandma, her personality and temper are basically no different from her mom's. To tell you the truth, they are both shrews, one is older, one is younger."

Speaking of this, Xiao Changkun drank a glass of wine and said seriously, "So you see, I am not blindly filial. If my own mother doesn't do things right, I won't let her live in my house even if she wanders the streets. Why? We must have a correct view of right and wrong, you can't say that because it's your mother, you protect her even if she kills someone, right?"

Ye Chen nodded, "You are right."

Xiao Changkun lamented, "Actually, your fate is much better than mine, marrying such a good child as Churan, even if you are useless, she won't divorce you. If you were like me, marrying a shrew, then your life would be miserable."

Ye Chen looked at Xiao Changkun's melancholy appearance and couldn't help but feel some sympathy. This old man has really not had an easy life. He originally had a sweet first love, and the two were in love with each other, but he was intercepted by Ma Lan. It was really as miserable as it could be.

At this time, Ye Chen asked deliberately, "Dad, tell me the story of your first love? Last time we had a class reunion, I heard a few uncles chat for a few sentences, it felt like it was quite legendary."

"Legendary what!" Xiao Changkun sighed and said, "Han Meiqing and I were planning to get married after graduation. It was difficult to go abroad at that time, but her family had some connections and could send us both to the United States to continue our studies. We planned to get married after graduation and then go to the United States to study for a master's degree together..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Changkun said angrily, "Who could have thought that just before graduation, everyone had a party, and I actually drank too much! When I woke up, I was already... with your mother-in-law..."

"Sigh..." Xiao Changkun covered his face and said, "Ma Lan is also very scheming, she told Han Meiqing about this at that time, which made Han Meiqing so angry. Han Meiqing is different from Ma Lan. Ma Lan, this shrew, likes to make noise and make a scene. Han Meiqing wrote a breakup letter to me directly, and then packed her things and went to the United States by herself. Since then, I have never seen her again."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Didn't you explain it to her at that time?"

"How to explain?" Xiao Changkun said, "No matter how I explain, it really happened between me and Ma Lan. Han Meiqing herself has a cleanliness habit, a cleanliness habit in life, and a cleanliness habit in emotions. She also knew that I was drunk and designed by Ma Lan, but she felt that she couldn't accept me like that anymore, so she broke up with me without looking back and went to the United States."

Ye Chen asked him deliberately, "Then do you still think of her in your heart?"

Xiao Changkun also opened his heart and lamented, "I think of her, how can I not think of her? She is the first woman in my life, and the only woman I have ever loved, otherwise I wouldn't have changed my mobile phone password to her birthday..."

Ye Chen nodded in understanding and asked, "Then have you inquired about her recent situation?"

"I have inquired." Xiao Changkun said, "But I can't inquire about anything. A few years ago, I only heard that she married an American over there and had a son. It is said that the family conditions are very superior, but no one knows anything more detailed. After all, those old classmates of ours don't have much contact with her, and later she directly cut off contact with those classmates of ours."

Ye Chen nodded lightly, thinking to himself, if Han Meiqing knew that Xiao Changkun had become such a cowardly person now, she probably wouldn't have that feeling for him anymore.

Xiao Changkun saw that Ye Chen hadn't been drinking and said with some dissatisfaction, "Good son-in-law, why don't you have two drinks? Just letting me drink alone!"

Ye Chen laughed and picked up the wine glass, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll have a drink with you."

Just after saying this, Xiao Changkun's mobile phone suddenly rang.

A strange number was displayed on the phone, and he couldn't help but frown, "At this hour, who would call me."

Saying this, he subconsciously pressed answer.

A gentle voice of a woman came from the other end of the phone, asking tentatively, "May I ask, is this Xiao Changkun?"

Xiao Changkun was stunned for a moment and asked nervously, "You... are you..."

The other party smiled slightly and said with a smile, "I am Meiqing, Han Meiqing."

Xiao Changkun was simply struck by lightning!

He was stunned for a long time before asking excitedly, "Meiqing? Is it really you?!"

"It's me." She said with a smile, "Is it because my voice has become old, so you can't recognize it? But I can hear that your voice hasn't changed much."

Xiao Changkun said in a panic, "I... you... we haven't been in contact for so many years, why would you suddenly call me? I... I just talked about you with my son-in-law..."

"Is that so?" The other party couldn't help asking, "Why would you talk about me with your son-in-law? You didn't tell your son-in-law about those old stories, did you?"

"No, no." Xiao Changkun was clearly completely out of order, and hurriedly said, "I'm drinking with my son-in-law, I'm a bit tipsy, so I just lamented a few sentences."

Saying this, Xiao Changkun asked, "Meiqing... why did you think of contacting me?"

Han Meiqing smiled slightly, "My son and I are preparing to return to China to settle down, so I contacted you and other old classmates. After I return to Jin Ling, I want to invite you all to have a meal. After all, we haven't seen each other for more than twenty years..."
