Chen Liping warmly invited Ye Chen’s family into the house, and by now, the aroma of the meal could already be smelled in the living room.
The interior of the villa was very elaborately decorated, and at a glance, it had taken a lot of effort, even compared to the villas in Townsend One.
There were many pictures of adults and children hanging on the walls of the home, each of them very warm and welcoming.
Ma Lan looked around and had a new perception of Sister Chen’s strength, then she hurriedly introduced Chen Liping to Xiao Churan and Ye Chen, saying with a smile, “This is the one I always tell you about, the vice captain of our storm troop, Sister Chen Liping Chen, you have to call her Auntie Chen!”
Saying that, he also said to Chen Liping, “Sister Chen, this is my daughter Xiao Churan, and next to her is my son-in-law Ye Chen.”
Xiao Churan politely said to Chen Liping, “Hello Auntie Chen, I’ve taken the liberty to disturb you!”
Chen Liping said with a smile, “You’re welcome! Although your mother and I have known each other for a short time, we have gotten to know each other very well. I’ve wanted to invite you to our home for a long time, but your mother said that your husband had gone to Hong Kong Island for a business trip some time ago, so I thought I would invite you when your husband came back, but I didn’t expect that your mother would return to China soon.
Ma Lan could not help but sigh, “Sister Chen, to be honest, I originally planned to stay in America until I returned home with my daughter and son-in-law, but I couldn’t help but feel homesick this time, so I had to go back alone first.”
Chen Liping nodded and said seriously, “I understand, I was just like you when I first came to America, it was just a few days, and then I wanted to go back home every day and night.
Ma Lan smilingly nodded in agreement, in fact she did not have any sense of belonging to her hometown in her heart.
She had no money to live on at home, and when she came to America to live in a hotel with her daughter and son-in-law, she thought of the hotel as home.
Then, Ma Lan took out the gift she bought this afternoon and handed it to Chen Liping, smiling, “Sister Chen, it’s the first time I came to your home, and I don’t know what you like, so I bought you a set of tableware, I hope you don’t mind.”
Chen Liping was busy complaining, “Look at you, just come here, it’s just like coming back to your own home, what else to buy, really ……”
Ma Lan was also used to this kind of Chinese hospitality and said with a smile, “Why, it’s not much money, it’s just a little token of appreciation.”
Chen Liping nodded and said with a smile, “Next time, don’t go to such lengths, how embarra*sing really.”
At this time, a woman of about thirty came over and smiled warmly when she saw Ma Lan, “You must be Auntie Ma, I’ve been hearing my mother talk about you for the past few days, she said she got on well with you!”
Chen Liping hurriedly introduced her, “Ma Lan, let me introduce you, this is my daughter-in-law, Sun Huina, just call her Huina.”
Saying that, she also introduced her daughter-in-law, “Huina, this is Auntie Ma, and the two next to her are Auntie Ma’s daughter and son-in-law.”
After greeting Xiao Churan and Ye Chen, Sun Huina said with a smile, “You guys sit down for a while, my father-in-law and my husband are cooking in the kitchen, so we can eat later.”
Chen Liping said with a smile, “Come on, let’s sit on the sofa for a while, they will call us later when we can eat.”
Ma Lan was not polite and said with a smile, “By the way, Sister Chen, don’t you have a pair of grandchildren? Why don’t you see them?”
Chen Liping said casually, “The two children have gone to Disney with their uncle’s family to play and will not be back until the day after tomorrow.”
Ma Lan asked in surprise, “Does your family still have relatives in America?”
“Yes.” Chen Liping nodded, “The children’s uncle’s family is settled in Los Angeles, and my husband has a cousin whose family is settled in California, so we all move around quite frequently.”
