Xiao Churan immediately realised her mother’s intention and quickly said, “Mom! Can you not be so vain all the time? Why do you have to ask Ye Chen to buy you something as expensive as a Van Cleef & Arpels ……”
Ma Lan said with an aggrieved face, “I didn’t say that, I was saying that that brand’s stuff is sold too expensive and has no value for money at all, how could a pragmatic person like me like something that has no value for money?”
After saying that, he did not forget to say to Ye Chen: “Good son-in-law, Mom is already very satisfied that you have this heart, but you must remember, don’t buy things indiscriminately!”
Ye Chen smiled faintly and nodded gently, “Yes mum, I know.”
Ma Lan’s expression was more or less melancholy, but she still had the good sense to flip past the Van Cleef & Arpels piece and hurriedly focused her attention on the jewellery box in her hand.
As she opened the box, she thought to herself, “I just bought a Bulgari Emerald Dream necklace a few days ago, and I wonder what kind of jewellery Ye Chen is giving me this time.
With this in mind, she opened the box with glee.
The next thing that caught her eye was something that made her freeze.
“This …… this ……” Ma Lan looked at the familiar necklace lying quietly in the jewellery box and could not help but say, “This …… isn’t this the necklace of the Emerald Goddess Dream?”
The moment she saw this necklace, Marashi’s heart was very disappointed.
After all, she had bought an identical necklace just before she came to the United States, so it was natural that her heart was a little depressed to receive such a gift again.
Although this necklace was very expensive and showed off the atmosphere, two identical items could only pretend to be the same after all.
If she wore this one today and that one tomorrow, in the eyes of others, she would be wearing the same one for two days.
However, it was impossible to wear two necklaces around her neck at once, so in her eyes, the necklace Ye Chen had given her was basically the same as not giving it away.
At this moment, Ye Chen had already caught the hidden disappointment in her eyes, so he pretended to be surprised and asked, “Mum, you know so much about these, I’ve been trying to remember this name all the way.”
Ma Lan said with a sarcastic smile, “Why, I’m just researching blindly!”
She said, “You two don’t know, but Qian Hongyan, who is so poor that she can barely eat, still drags me to these luxury shops every day.
Xiao Churan asked, “Mum, have you been hanging out with Qian Hongyan again?”
Ma Lan explained, “It’s not really a playdate, it’s just that after you all left, I was too bored living alone in Townsend One, so I had some company with her.
As she said that, she looked at the Goddess’ Dream necklace in her hand again, and her heart grew more and more despondent.
Ye Chen secretly smiled in his heart, it seemed that his trick did work a bit, and he could see that Ma Lan was already a bit bored at this point.
Xiao Churan, who was at the side, did not notice her mother’s difference at all, but could not help but say to Ye Chen, “Honey, thank you for the gift, but in the future, it is better not to buy such expensive luxury goods, it is said that this kind of luxury jewellery has a very poor retention rate, which is a bit too wasteful.”
When Ye Chen heard the three words of retaining value, he suddenly had a bright idea, so he glanced at Ma Lan and deliberately spoke, “It seems that this Goddess Dream, the second-hand market still retains its value, if the packaging and bills are complete, and it is maintained new enough, 20% discount should still be able to sell it.”
As Ye Chen expected, once Ma Lan heard this, her eyes widened, and her expression changed from the frustration of a moment ago, to one of extreme excitement!
Immediately, she suddenly opened her mouth and said to Xiao Churan, “Aiya daughters, mum is suddenly so homesick ……”
