After Su Mu moved here, he could often hear the sound of decoration coming from next door, but no one lived there.

Just as they were eating barbecue, a young man in a black suit appeared on the path, probably drunk, unable to walk in a straight line, and his steps were vague, as if he was about to fall.

Originally, I didn't care about him, but this guy turned a corner and walked directly into the courtyard of Su Mu's house, and shouted loudly: "Damn! Who are you! Why are you in my yard! Quick, bring me chicken wings, this smells so good......"

The bodyguards were also eating, looked at each other, and all stood up, ready to throw the strange man out.

Lily asked, "Call the police and send him away?"

"It's okay, after one or two o'clock in the evening, the door of the bar is full of drunks, he's a man, and the weather isn't cold, don't worry. Jennifer shook her head as she spoke, as if she was very experienced, placed a small piece of chicken in front of the fat orange cat ingot, and reached out to touch its head.

Not far away, the little pit bull called "Spike" was spinning around in place for a long time with his tail, ignoring the arrival of strangers, and it seemed that he could not expect him to watch the home.

Among the bulldogs, there is always one out of ten dogs named Spike, mainly because the influence of the cartoon "Cat and Mouse" is too profound, and the strong dog in the animation who often beats "Tom the Cat" is based on the English Bulldog.

Seeing that the other party is dressed very formally, the collar of the white shirt is still tied with a bow tie, the watch is also Patek Philippe, the buckle is full of characteristics, the car can be rented, but generally no one will borrow a watch, so in most cases, I want to know the identity and taste of a person, look at the watch on the other party's wrist, and probably guess that since the watch is linked to taste, wealth, etc., it is no longer just a watch.

Su Mu guessed: "Isn't the wedding being prepared next door, don't you recognize the wrong house, find a chair for him to sit on first, I'm worried about falling on the grill, Lily, you go and pour a glass of water."

Old Tom butler, please help me go to the side and ask if they have lost someone, if you don't know each other, then call the police. ”

The old butler named Tom was tall and thin, and his hair had turned gray.

The main reason why I hired him was because he could cook, and he learned cooking when he was young, and when he came to apply, he brought a plate of pizza, a very delicious pizza, and that was enough.

In addition to him, there is also a Mexican-American maid who is responsible for cleaning all day and also works as a gardener, in her words, there is a lot of competition to be a maid these days, and it is difficult to find a job without some special skills.

Being served by these two, not only Su Mu's mother has become lazy, but Old Man Su is too lazy to tidy up the quilt after getting up now, and his small life is so leisurely that he almost forgets where Chinatown is.

Hearing Su Mu's command, he smiled and nodded: "Okay sir, someone stayed next door the day before yesterday, and the lights started to turn on at night, it is estimated that it is the guest next door, they will hold a wedding tomorrow, I will help you pick a bottle of wine as a gift later?"

"OK, the new neighbor is here, the best ...... to deliver wine"

A few meters away, Li Ping'an asked Jennifer about interesting facts about Hollywood.

The drunkard didn't mean to drink, he was looking for something to talk about, Du Zhong also came over, deliberately adding to the chaos, and deliberately asked her if she had a boyfriend.

Knowing that it was already there, Du Zhong pretended to be sorry and said to Li Ping'an: "Don't be sad, you don't have a chance." ”

Jennifer thought he was joking and didn't take it to heart.

Li Ping'an gritted his teeth, eager to put him on the fire to roast, originally thinking of putting a long line to catch a big fish and getting along as friends first, how could he not know that this guy was deliberate.

The evening breeze was gentle, and the drunk who vomited in his arms and in the trash can was aside, and tonight's barbecue party was quite a success.

Su Mu went to the kitchen, and when he returned to the yard with a watermelon, he happened to see old Tom's butler walking over with a man, and the two talked as they walked, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

The appearance is somewhat similar to that of a drunk young man, about fifty years old, and in terms of temperament alone, he undoubtedly looks like a successful person, and in fact he is indeed successful.

Walking over to greet him, Old Tom's butler was about to introduce Su Mu, Su Mu stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Mr. McCarthy, welcome to my house." ”

Leo McCarthy, now Lieutenant Governor of California and a U.S. Senator, is undoubtedly more powerful than the 435-member House of Representatives, who has only about 100 senators.

Seeing Su Mu calling out his name, the other party didn't feel strange at all, showed a perfunctory but polite smile, and said in a low tone after shaking hands: "I'm very sorry, my son disturbed your picnic, just now I smelled the smell of barbecue at the door of my house, and I thought it was an illusion, I didn't mean anything else, I just want to say that I envy you young people, the last time I had a dinner like this was in the sixties." ”

"It's okay sir, he's drunk too much and can't find a home, we're worried something will go wrong. ”

"Thank you, the person who will be the groom's official tomorrow, and he actually drinks like this, maybe it's because he's happy, after all, it's the last night, and tomorrow he will become a husband. Mr. McCarthy probably felt that it was undignified, and explained more......

With the help of bodyguards, the drunk young man was carried away.

After he left, Lily told Su Mu: "It seems that you have a very good neighbor, the marriage partner of the son of Lieutenant Governor McKinsey, is the youngest daughter of the current Secretary of the Treasury, if nothing else, McKinsey will be transferred to Washington, D.C. after this marriage." ”

Su Mu looked at her: "You always know more than me, don't you children of big families always fall in love freely? ”

"When the time comes, maybe you won't think like this, the marriage of two families can become stronger, the marriage of politicians is more than that of businessmen, it always feels like you are mocking, now you have far more personal wealth than most American families, at least more than my family, so you are the big family. ”

Lily continued: "I'm the only girl in my family, plus I just get an inheritance, I don't run a company, I don't have trouble, and I don't need connections, my parents don't care about this, but if you're just an ordinary person, I guess they won't agree." ”

"You're too sensible, you should be more relaxed and unrestrained at this age, but with a smart girlfriend like you, I don't have to worry about suffering in the future, you can help with things I can't think of." ”

......

After eating the barbecue, several people came to the table to play poker, and did not return to their respective rooms until late at night, Su Mu and Lily lived in one room, Du Zhong and his girlfriend lived in another, and Li Ping'an wanted to live with Jennifer, but he couldn't.

Early the next morning, Su Mu learned from the old Tom's butler that he was shocked to learn that the young man surnamed McCarthy, who was the bridegroom today, had disappeared last night......
