Chapter 427: It really is you!

Ye Chen was considering the problem, and Xiao Churan asked impatiently, "How is it with Dad there? Any clues?"

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

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

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

"Good." Xiao Churan said, "Then I'll hang up first, and we'll 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 glass of beer, poured one for Ye Chen, and said while eating skewers, "Good son-in-law, no one is ruining our fun today, let's drink well, come, let's have one first."

Ye Chen found it funny. Ma Lan wasn't there, so his father-in-law was liberated. He nodded and said, "You should drink less, it's not good for your health if you drink too much."

Xiao Changkun laughed and said, "People are happy when they have happy events. I'm hoping that your mom was fooled by a pyramid scheme organization. Anyway, if she goes in, she'll suffer a bit, but she won't die. If she's trapped for three or five years, let us have a few years of peaceful life first."

Ye Chen nodded and sighed, "I think it's good too, 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! Is your mom the kind of person worth being so filial to? You don't have a blood relationship with her. You tell me, if your own mom was like this, would you still be filial to her?"

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

"That's true." Xiao Changkun said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Dad shouldn't have mentioned that. Let's take me as an example. Look at Churan's grandma, her personality and temper are basically the same as her mom's. To tell you the truth, they are both shrews, one older, one younger."

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

Ye Chen nodded, "You're right."

Xiao Changkun sighed, "Actually, your fate is much better than mine. You married a good child like Churan. Even if you are useless, she won't divorce you. If you were like me, married to a shrew, then your life would be miserable."

Ye Chen looked at Xiao Changkun's melancholy look and couldn't help but feel a bit of sympathy. This old man really didn't have an easy life. He originally had a sweet first love, and they were in love with each other, but he was intercepted by Ma Lan. It was truly miserable.

At this time, Ye Chen asked deliberately, "Dad, tell me the story of your first love? Last time at the class reunion, I heard a few uncles chatting, and it felt quite legendary."

"Legendary what!" Xiao Changkun sighed, "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 hold the wedding 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 got drunk! By the time I woke up, I had 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 the time, which made Han Meiqing so angry. Han Meiqing is different from Ma Lan. Ma Lan, this shrew, likes to make noise and act like a shrew. Han Meiqing wrote a breakup letter to me directly, and then packed her things and went to the United States by herself. I haven't seen her since then."

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

"How to explain?" Xiao Changkun said, "No matter how I explain, it was a real thing that happened between me and Ma Lan. Han Meiqing herself has a cleanliness obsession, a cleanliness obsession in life, and a cleanliness obsession 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 hesitation and went to the United States."

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

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

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

"I have." Xiao Changkun said, "But I can't find out 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 were very superior, but no one knew anything more detailed. After all, our old classmates didn't have much contact with her, and later she directly cut off contact with our classmates."

Ye Chen nodded lightly, thinking to himself, if Han Meiqing knew that Xiao Changkun had become such a coward 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 drink two cups? Just letting me drink alone!"

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

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

It was a strange number on the phone, and he couldn't help but frown, "At this time, who would call me."

Saying this, he subconsciously pressed answer.

A gentle voice of a woman came from the other end of the phone, tentatively asking, "Excuse me, 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, "It's me, Meiqing, Han Meiqing."

Xiao Changkun was simply struck by lightning!

He was stunned for a long time before he asked excitedly, "Meiqing? It really is you?!"

"It's me." She said with a smile, "Is my voice getting old, so you can't recognize it? But I don't think your voice has changed much."

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

"Is that so?" The other party couldn't help but ask, "Why would you talk about me with your son-in-law? You wouldn't have told your son-in-law about those old stories, would you?"

"No, no." Xiao Changkun was completely out of his mind, and hurriedly said, "I'm drinking with my son-in-law, a bit tipsy, so I sighed a few times."

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

Han Meiqing smiled slightly, "My son and I are planning to return to China to settle down, so I'm contacting 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..."
