Chapter 447

At this time, Xiao Xiao Changkun had already brought Han Han Meiqing and her son Paul through the courtyard and inside.

Upon meeting, Xiao Xiao Churan was shocked by Han Han Meiqing. She had heard Ye Chen say that Han Han Meiqing's temperament and appearance were excellent, but she hadn't expected them to be this good.

Being a woman herself, Xiao Xiao Churan was even a little envious of Han Han Meiqing.

After all, for a woman to be able to maintain herself to such a good state at around 50 years old was truly remarkable.

Han Han Meiqing was also a bit surprised when she saw Xiao Xiao Churan. She really hadn't expected that Xiao Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan's daughter would be so beautiful, tall, and outstanding.

Paul, who was beside her, couldn't help but be stunned the moment he saw Xiao Xiao Churan, also shocked by her beauty and temperament.

Xiao Xiao Changkun introduced her at this time, "Han Meiqing, let me introduce you. This is my daughter, Xiao Xiao Churan."

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Xiao Churan and said with a smile, "Xiao Churan, this is Dad's old classmate, Han Han Meiqing. You should call her Auntie Han."

Xiao Xiao Churan was shocked by Han Han Meiqing's beauty and temperament, and at the same time, she was even more worried about the relationship between her father and her.

Because compared to Han Han Meiqing, her own mother really seemed to be worlds apart. Plus, the relationship between the two of them wasn't stable to begin with, and now that there was such a powerful competitor, it would likely become even more fragile.

However, out of politeness, she still shook hands with Han Han Meiqing very enthusiastically and said with a measure of respect, "Hello, Auntie Han."

Han Han Meiqing smiled and sighed sincerely, "Xiao Churan, you are truly so beautiful!"

Xiao Xiao Churan said modestly, "Auntie Han, you are too kind. Compared to you, I still have a long way to go."

"No, no, no," Han Han Meiqing said earnestly, "When I was your age, I really wasn't as beautiful as you."

After saying that, she looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile, "Little Ye is truly blessed to be able to marry such a good wife."

Ye Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "Auntie Han, you're right. This is my blessing."

Han Han Meiqing smiled again and introduced her son, "Xiao Churan, this is my son. His name is Paul. He should be a year younger than you, so logically, he should call you 'older sister'."

Paul, who was on the side, hurriedly reached out his hand to Xiao Xiao Churan and said earnestly, "Hello, Miss Xiao. I'm Paul, full name Paul Smith. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Xiao Xiao Churan was hesitating whether or not to shake hands with Paul when Han Han Meiqing hurriedly said, "Son, Xiao Churan is a married person. One should maintain appropriate distance when interacting with the opposite sex."

Only then did Paul come back to his senses. He hurriedly withdrew his hand and said with an awkward smile, "I'm really sorry, I was being rash."

Xiao Xiao Churan nodded slightly and smiled in response. Ye Chen couldn't help but be surprised; Han Han Meiqing's upbringing was indeed extraordinary.

Xiao Xiao Changkun then said impatiently, "Han Meiqing, I've already bought all the ingredients and seasonings for those dishes. They're in the kitchen now. Why don't we start now? Let the kids chat outside. I'll go in and help you. What do you think?"

Han Han Meiqing naturally nodded and smiled, "No problem. Let's cook a meal for the kids today."

After saying that, she said to Paul, "Son, you should chat well with Little Ye and his wife. You will be developing in Jin Ling for a long time in the future. Getting to know and understand each other more will be good for everyone's future development. Young people should communicate more, make more friends, and expand their network."

Paul hurriedly nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I understand."

While leading Han Han Meiqing toward the kitchen, Xiao Xiao Changkun turned his head back to instruct Ye Chen, "Good son-in-law, there's my good tea on the coffee table. Hurry up and brew a cup for Paul to taste."

Ye Chen nodded, "Alright Dad, I understand."

Xiao Xiao Changkun hurriedly added, "Also, don't you ever, ever forget the thing I reminded you about!"

Ye Chen knew what he was talking about: he had to be vigilant. If his mother-in-law returned, he must not let her enter the house under any circumstances, so as not to expose the fact that Han Han Meiqing was in their home.

So he smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. I'll give you my word on this; there definitely won't be any mistakes."

Xiao Xiao Changkun gave him a thumbs up and praised, "You really are my good son-in-law. I definitely won't treat you poorly in the future!"

After saying this, Xiao Xiao Changkun took Han Han Meiqing and dove straight into the kitchen.

Xiao Xiao Churan asked Ye Chen curiously, "What is it that Dad was talking to you about? You two were being so mysterious, as if you were plotting some unspeakable conspiracy."

Ye Chen thought to himself, I definitely can't tell you that your dad asked me to be on guard against you here, right? In case your mom comes back, I have to carry her away no matter what, and if I can't carry her away, I'll knock her out and carry her away.

So he chuckled and said, "It's nothing. Dad just wanted me to host Paul well and make sure he doesn't feel like our family lacks hospitality."

"Really?" Xiao Xiao Churan was full of disbelief.

Ye Chen said earnestly, "Of course it's true. Didn't you hear him just now asking me to brew tea for Paul?"

As he spoke, he hurriedly greeted Paul, "Come, come, Paul, let me have you taste the high-end tea leaves my father-in-law bought at a high price from a tea-selling girl on WeChat."

Ye Chen felt that as an American, even if Paul had half-Chinese blood, he lived in the United States and probably didn't know much about tea.

Therefore, this kind of ordinary tea that his father-in-law had been scammed into buying should still be able to fool him.

Unexpectedly, Paul immediately said with a smile, "Oh my, what I like most is drinking tea. Since Uncle Xiao has good tea leaves here, I must taste them."

Ye Chen was slightly stunned and said with a smile, "Since you know tea, then I think you might be disappointed."

As he spoke, he sat down on the sofa with Paul, preparing to brew tea.

Xiao Xiao Churan didn't really want to chat with the son of her father's first love, so she said to the two, "You two men chat. I don't really like drinking tea, and I have a bit of a headache. I'll go back to my room to rest for a while. Excuse me, I'll take my leave."

Paul hurriedly stood up and said politely, "Alright, Miss Xiao. Please go ahead and rest."

After Xiao Xiao Churan went upstairs, Ye Chen said to Paul, "Sit down, don't stand and chat."

After Paul sat down, he looked at the Hainan Huang Huali wood sofa he was sitting on and said in surprise, "The material of this sofa is really good! One can tell at a glance that it's Hainan Huang Huali material, and it's quite old. Once the patina comes out, the wood grain is especially beautiful. Good stuff!"

Ye Chen was a bit stunned. He really hadn't expected that although Paul was of mixed heritage, he was a total China expert.

He spoke fluent Chinese, understood tea, understood wood, and even knew about patina. Was the other half of this guy's American blood fake?

And why were his hobbies so similar to his father-in-law's?

If it weren't for his blond hair and standard white skin tone, he would have even suspected whether he was the child his father-in-law had left behind.
