One of Souna’s posts received likes, while another had herment reading: “Sister, have a smooth journey!”


    However, ine suddenly felt a wave of sadness.<fn1597> This content belongs to find[?]ovel</fn1597>


    The fact that Souna’s likes andments were visible even while she was on the ne confirmed two things: the Inte was functioning well, and no one else had bothered toment on ine’s updates since takeoff.


    This realization sparked anger in ine. She inwardly scolded, “Seriously?! I usually post pictures of wilting flowers from the park, and those get tons of likes. But today, here I am in a private jet, and no one acknowledges my trip? Ugh! It’s clearly jealousy!”


    As the flight progressed, ine found it hard to rx or sleep.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Periodically, she would check her Moments, but even after flying over the United States, she still only had Souna’s one like andment.


    Frustrated, she nearly dropped her phone multiple times but ultimately had to face the truth.


    To ease her disappointment, she told herself, “Hey, outside of family, how many supportive people are there in my circle? They’re just good people who can’t appreciate others! Hmph! If they don’tpliment me, I’ll just remove the post. Here I am, flying to the U.S. on a private jet—why would I need their approval? It’s absurd!”


    In her thoughts, she discreetly checked her phone again. Finding no new likes orments only deepened her irritation, leading her to toss the phone aside and close her eyes.


    After a lengthy flight of more than ten hours, ine’s Gulfstream G650 finally touched down at Providence Airport in the United States.


    At this point, it was already past ten o’clock in the evening, American time.


    Charlie and ire had just finished watching Stefanie Sun’s second concert in Boston and were driving back to Providence.


    Charlie was already aware of ine’s itinerary, receiving updates as soon as her nended.


    However, he knew ine would avoid telling him and ire about her private jet arrival, opting to contact them only after disembarking.


    Charlie wasn’t concerned about ine navigating customs alone; after all, she had attended university and likely possessed basic English skills.


    Half an hourter, ire’s phone rang with a call from the United States.


    Not thinking much of it, she answered, saying in English, “Hi.”


    Excitement radiated from ine’s voice on the other end: “ire! It’s me! I’ve arrived in the United States!”


    ire was taken aback by her mother’s voice, and it took her a moment to respond, “Mom, when did you get to the U.S.? Why didn’t you tell us before you left?!”


    ine replied with a smile, “I wanted to surprise you and Charlie! Plus, the flight was so long; if I mentioned it earlier, you would have worried about me. So, I decided to fly over first!”


    For the first time, ire noticed her mother’s thoughtfulness… realizing she was considering others’ feelings.


    However, what ire didn’t know was that ine was actually anxious about running out of money.


    Quickly, ire asked, “Mom, where are you? Is it the New York airport? Charlie and I wille to pick you up right now!”


    ine responded, “I’m not in New York; I’m in Providence!”


    “What?!” ire eximed, surprised. “Mom, did you arrive on a private ne?”


    “Exactly,” ine said, fabricating a story. “Didn’t you mention wanting to fly to New York first? So, I changed my ns!”


    ire inquired further, “Have you gone through customs? Did youplete the entry formalities?”


    “All done!” ine assured her. “I’m in the airport lobby. Can youe pick me up now? If it’s too difficult, I can take a taxi, but I didn’t have time to exchange dors. I asked the flight attendant for some coins, so you can cover the fare when I arrive.”


    ire, not overthinking it, immediately asked Charlie, “Husband, Mom is at the airport. How far are we from there? Can we easily pick her up?”


    “Sure,” Charlie replied after checking the navigation. “It’s convenient; we’re only ten minutes away from the airport.”


    ire quickly said, “Mom, Charlie and I are on our way back, just ten minutes from you. If you can wait at the airport for a bit, we’ll be there to pick you up!”


    ine was thrilled and eximed, “Oh, that’s fantastic! I’ll be waiting for you!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
