Therefore, Dong Ruolin looked at the time and said: “It’s getting late, I won’t delay your husband and wife’s separation and wedding. Charlie, please book your flight and tell me the time. We’ll meet directly at the airport then.”
Claire hurriedly said: “Do you want me to take you back?”
“No need.” Dong Ruolin said: “My cousin is waiting at the gate of the community. He has been working as my driver recently, but he is honest.”
As he said that, he didn’t forget to glance at Charlie quietly.
Dong Ruolin’s cousin is Kong Delong, who was asked by Charlie to ride his bike from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill. Asking him to drop Dong Ruolin off in Aurous Hill was also one of the punishments Charlie gave him.
Charlie guessed that Dong Ruolin said this to herself, so that she could have a better impression of Kong Delong, so he casually said: “Then let your cousin see you off well and don’t go back to Eastcliff.”
Dong Ruolin thought that Charlie wanted to extend Kong Delong’s time in Aurous Hill, so she hurriedly said: “No, no, we can’t keep him here all the time. It’s better to let him come back when his time is up.”
After saying that, Dong Ruolin quickly said: “Oh, I won’t bother you two anymore. See you the day after tomorrow. Bye!”
Claire said: “I will take you out.”
Seeing his wife leave to see off the guests, Charlie followed Dong Ruolin to the door.
At this time, father-in-law, Jacob, was driving the Cullinan into the yard, and mother-in-law, Elaine Ma, was sitting in the passenger seat.
Charlie was a little curious. This pair of enemies rarely went out together, but it was unusual for them to be back together today.
When Dong Ruolin saw Cullinan driving in, she said, “Uncle and auntie are back. I’ll go greet them.”
When the car stopped, Jacob and Elaine Ma got out of the car, Dong Ruolin smiled and said, “Hello, uncle and auntie!”
When Elaine Ma saw it was Dong Ruolin, she smiled and said, “When did Ruolin come?”
Dong Ruolin said: “I’ve been here for quite some time. I’ll chat with Claire for a while and then I’ll go back.”
Jacob said: “Why are you back in such a hurry? Just come in and have some tea before you go.”
Dong Ruolin said: “No need to drink anymore, Uncle Willson, I have something to do and I have to go first.”
After that, he said to both of them: “Goodbye uncle, and goodbye auntie.”
Jacob and Elaine Ma also politely said goodbye to him. Only then did they see Charlie standing at the door. Elaine Ma said in surprise: “Oh, my good son-in-law is back after making a lot of money!”
Seeing Elaine Ma talking about money, Claire could only shake her head and say, “Mom… don’t talk about money.”
Elaine Ma pouted and said, “What’s wrong? Is that wrong? My son-in-law just wants to go out to make a lot of money, why don’t you let me talk about it?”
After saying that, she deliberately glanced at the villa next door where Mrs. Willson and Christopher Willson’s family lived, and said a little louder: “I, Elaine Ma, have a good life and a good daughter-in-law who can make money. Unlike some people, whose sons are unreliable. Even their grandchildren and granddaughters are unreliable!”
Jacob pushed him and muttered: “Okay, okay, hurry back home, it’s so cold that you can’t stop screaming here.”
Charlie also changed the topic and asked him: “Dad, what did you and mom do when you went out?”
Jacob chuckled and said happily: “Hey! President Pei is not that old fox. He has been trying to curry favor with me lately. He insisted on inviting me and your mother to dinner at home today, and he was as attentive as a dog.”
As he said that, he patted Charlie on the shoulder and said, “You have been traveling to the northwest for so many days. Did you suffer a lot there? Don’t take any Feng Shui work in the next few days, and take a rest at home.” Take a rest again, it’s almost time to celebrate the new year, so don’t run out again.”
Elaine Ma also said: “Yes, a good son-in-law earns so much money, he can’t just earn it and not spend it. I think it’s better for our family to find a warm place to celebrate the New Year. How about going to Yazhou? The winter there is warm, in the Northeast. The people there are very funny when welcoming the Chinese New Year.”
Jacob said: “Emma, what rank are we, yet we go to Yazhou to compete with them? Southeast Asia, Maldives, Tahiti, which one is not warmer than Yazhou?”
“Right!” Elaine Ma nodded in agreement and said, “Our family is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Going to Yazhou is really not interesting, but we can consider the Maldives!”
Claire shook her head helplessly and said: “Mom, don’t think about where to go. Charlie and Ruolin, and I will go to Tokyo the day after tomorrow. When we come back in a few days, I’m busy with company matters.”
“I don’t have much time before Chinese New Year. If you really wait until the Chinese New Year holiday, it’s the peak period and there will be a lot of people wherever you go, so you’d better stay home.”
When Elaine Ma heard that she was going to Tokyo, she immediately asked: “Claire, what are you going to Tokyo for? Shopping? Mom will come with you too?”
