Chapter 428: First love is coming back!

Xiao Changkun never dreamed that he would receive a call from Han Meiqing again in this life.

What he didn't expect even more was that Han Meiqing was actually planning to return to China!

She went directly to the United States after graduating from university and stayed there ever since. Everyone hadn't seen her since then, and it had been more than twenty years in a flash.

However, even though they hadn't seen each other for more than twenty years, Xiao Changkun's heart was still stirred by her voice.

So he hurriedly asked, "Meiqing, are you... are you really coming back? When are you coming back?!"

Han Meiqing said with a smile, "I'm about to board the plane, and I'll arrive in Jin Ling around eleven o'clock tomorrow noon. If there are no accidents, we classmates will have a dinner together the day after tomorrow!"

Xiao Changkun was extremely excited, and he said with difficulty, "Oh, you... you're arriving in Jin Ling tomorrow?! Then... where are you staying?"

Han Meiqing said, "My son booked a hotel at Buckingham Palace. We might stay at Buckingham Palace for a while in the next few days, and then see if there is a suitable house in Jin Ling. If there is, we'll buy one."

Xiao Changkun asked tentatively, "Then... is your husband coming back with you?"

"No." Han Meiqing said with a frustrated voice, "My husband passed away, so I decided to return to China with my son and not stay in this sad place in the United States."

Xiao Changkun's heart blossomed with joy!

So he blurted out, "Then... do you want to have a meal together after landing? I'll pick you up! I'll welcome you!"

Han Meiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "That... I'm also bringing my son, isn't it inappropriate?"

"It doesn't matter!" Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "I can bring my son-in-law! My son-in-law should be about the same age as your son. Let the young people chat more, and we'll chat about ours."

"Alright then." Han Meiqing said with a smile, "Then let's see you at the airport tomorrow. We haven't seen each other for more than twenty years, don't forget to write a sign, otherwise I'm afraid we won't recognize each other!"

Xiao Changkun said excitedly, "Good, good, good! I'll write a sign tomorrow!"

Han Meiqing said, "Changkun, then I won't talk to you anymore, I'm about to board the plane. It's a flight of more than twelve hours, and I'll arrive in Jin Ling after ten o'clock tomorrow noon."

"Good!" Xiao Changkun said with a silly smile, "See you at the airport tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Changkun jumped up and down on the spot excitedly, looking like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Ye Chen found it funny and couldn't help but ask, "Dad, is your first love coming back?"

"Yes!" Xiao Changkun said excitedly, "The key is that her husband is dead, haha! Isn't this God helping me?!"

Ye Chen nodded, but said, "Dad, but Mom isn't dead..."

Xiao Changkun's expression cooled down again, and he said embarrassedly, "Don't misunderstand, I'm not cursing her to die."

Saying this, Xiao Changkun sighed and said, "It would be great if she ran away with someone like Qian Hongyan..."

Ye Chen shook his head helplessly. Xiao Changkun's heart was probably all on Han Meiqing, who was about to return to China. The feelings he originally had for Ma Lan had also dissipated.

So, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh, "If Churan could also accept that Mom's disappearance was running away with someone else, that would be truly great."

If Xiao Churan felt the same way about Ma Lan as Xiao Changkun, then he would have Ma Lan evaporate from the world in minutes.

For someone like Ma Lan, letting her have food, drink, and housing in the detention center was already cheapening her. It would be better to send her to a black coal kiln to dig coal and be with Qian Hongyan.

Qian Hongyan and her group probably hated Ma Lan to death. If Ma Lan was also sent there, it would be impossible for her not to be beaten dozens of times a day.

It's a pity that Xiao Churan is too kind, kind to the point of being overly tolerant of Ma Lan.

Xiao Changkun was in a great mood, eating and drinking alone, very happy, and kept pulling Ye Chen to drink with him. But Ye Chen picked up the wine glass every time, and then poured the wine when he wasn't paying attention. After all, it was his first night sleeping in bed tonight, and he was looking forward to completing the act with Xiao Churan. If he smelled of alcohol, wouldn't it be too disappointing?

Xiao Changkun was full and satisfied, and it was already past ten o'clock at night. Xiao Churan called Ye Chen to ask about the search situation. Ye Chen had to say, "We haven't found her, I guess Mom didn't come out to play mahjong. How about you?"

Xiao Churan said anxiously, "I also looked for some friends Mom used to have, but I haven't found any clues."

Ye Chen said, "Why don't we stop looking around like headless flies tonight? Let's go home and wait for a while. Since the police have already reported the disappearance, I believe they will help pay attention. What do you think?"

"Sigh..." Xiao Churan sighed and said, "That's the only way. Ruolin and I are going back now, you and Dad go back too."

"Good." Ye Chen responded, then hung up the phone and said to Xiao Changkun, "Dad, let's go."

Xiao Changkun slapped his thigh and said with a smile, "Let's go! Go home, take a shower, and sleep. You accompany me to the airport tomorrow morning."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "You want me to go too?"

"Of course." Xiao Changkun said, "Han Meiqing is also bringing her son. We are reminiscing about the past, isn't her son a light bulb? You can chat and talk with him more, and create some opportunities for me and Han Meiqing to chat privately."

"Alright." Ye Chen nodded and agreed, "Then I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Oh, by the way." Xiao Changkun said embarrassedly, "Good son-in-law, your dad is penniless. The money left from buying furniture was all returned to you. Why don't you help Dad arrange a table at Buckingham Palace tomorrow?"

"Okay, I'll arrange it." For his father-in-law, Ye Chen didn't have any selfishness, after all, he was quite good to him.

So Ye Chen sent a WeChat message to Chen Zekai, asking him to leave a good private room for him at Buckingham Palace tomorrow.

However, he also specified not to use the best one, otherwise it would be hard to explain. Medium-high would be enough.

Chen Zekai immediately instructed the lobby manager of Buckingham Palace to arrange the private room in advance.

At this very moment, in the detention center.

Because the lights were already out, Ma Lan could only lie on her wooden bed, hungry and enduring the pain all over her body.

As soon as she lay down, her stomach let out a growl.

Zhang Guifen, not far from her, immediately scolded, "Ma, if your stomach growls again, get out and sleep in the toilet!"

"Oh, right." Xiao Changkun said with some embarrassment: "Good son-in-law, your dad is penniless. The money left over from buying furniture was all returned to you. How about you help Dad arrange a table at Buckingham Palace tomorrow?"

"Fine, I'll arrange it." Regarding his father-in-law, Ye Chen didn't have any selfish motives; after all, he had treated him quite well.

So Ye Chen sent a WeChat message to Chen Zekai, asking him to reserve a decent private room for him at Buckingham Palace tomorrow.

However, he also specified not to get the best one, otherwise it would be hard to explain; something upper-middle tier would be just about right.

Chen Zekai immediately instructed the lobby manager of Buckingham Palace to arrange the private room in advance.

At this very moment, at the detention center.

Because the lights were already out, Ma Lan could only lie on her wooden bed, hungry and enduring the pain all over her body.

Just as she lay down, her stomach let out a rumbling sound.

Zhang Guifen, not far from her, immediately cursed: "You surnamed Ma, if your stomach rumbles at me again, just get out and sleep in the toilet!"
