Towards the evening, in the courtyard, Andy tugged at the black bow tie around his neck with some annoyance, and looked at Ivana in front of the dressing mirror, who was tilting her head to the mirror and wearing a flower-style diamond earring on her earlobe.

"It's annoying to have to wear a dress and bow tie on a hot day... ”

Wearing earrings and looking at her boyfriend who was like a child in the mirror, Ivana who was wearing a black shiny backless waist-cinching dress smiled gently, turned around and reached out to help Andy adjust the length of the bow tie, and said softly: "It's not hot for you, don't lose your temper, there are many heads of state attending tonight's banquet, you are not in a good mood, in case you show emotions in words and deeds, it will be rude." ”

Andy rolled his eyes, reached out and put his arm around Ivana's waist, constantly caressing her smooth back, and said helplessly: "It's better for a boring drinking party, it's better for us to soak in the pool at home and do something happy while washing." ”

"You don't want anything else all day long... Do you still think that it's better to wear no clothes, so that you can be happy anytime, anywhere?" Ivana gave Andy a charming look and said coquettishly.

"Hehe, it's not that I haven't tried it, I can't help it, who made you so charming. The first time I saw them, I felt the urge to squeeze them into cakes. Andy smiled and kissed Ivana on the bright red chun, his face moving down, trying to bury it in her slender pink neck, and the claws of Lushan poked out, and Ivana pushed away with disgust.

"I hate it, don't make trouble, I'm about to leave, go over early, meet my family first, we've missed the pick-up, we can't even greet without greetings, let's meet directly at the reception, you can be casual, I don't want to be considered unruly." ”

The corners of Andy's mouth twitched, and he spread his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, you have the final say." ”

Ivana smiled sweetly and kissed Andy on the mouth, turned around and picked up a jewelry box on the side, took out a white gold bracelet full of diamonds from it, and then took a look at the bun tied at the back of her head in the mirror, smiled with satisfaction, took Andy's arm, and walked out.

Two SUVs protected the black-faced Rolls-Royce in the middle, and in the last afterglow of the sunset, they rushed to the ancient Diaoyutai Scenic Area outside Fuchengmen in the western suburbs. In the afternoon, the Smith family arrived in the capital on the same plane with Li Dakang's grandfather and grandmother, and the identity of the old Smith will naturally be greeted by senior officials of the Celestial Empire government and be responsible for entertaining.

Because it is a family vacation, although it is not an official visit, but after all, the political status of the Smith family in the United States is there, and it is the leader of the conservative party of the Elephant Party, so the Celestial Empire naturally hopes to take advantage of this to establish a good relationship, and not to always appear all kinds of scoundrels and make a farce for the Wanwan platform.

Therefore, the Smith family and grandparents were directly taken into the Yuyutai Hotel, just right, the Xiaofei family, the Paulson family for three generations have stayed here, as a state of etiquette, the VIP came, naturally will have a banquet to wash the dust...

There are more than a dozen buildings in the state guesthouse, the buildings are numbered in order from the north of the east gate of Yuyu YU, according to the counterclockwise direction, the hotel environment is elegant and quiet, the blue water and red flowers between the pavilions and pavilions, the forest and stone bridge, it is the perfect fusion of Chinese classical architectural taste and modern architectural style.

After confirming its identity and passing the inspection, the Rolls-Royce slowly drove through the black iron fence gate towards the legendary Building 18, and along the way, through the car window, you can see that the building is a perfect match between the ancient and the modern. The environment is dense with ancient trees, murmuring clear water, green grass, willow embankments, and stone bridges and paths, just like a fairyland on earth.

The car stopped in front of Building 18, Andy got out of the car, smiled and thanked the waiter who opened the door for him, turned around and stretched out his hand to help out the beautiful Ivana, and walked into this elegant and luxurious imitation Ming style building with a magnificent appearance under the guidance of the waiter.

In an antique Chinese-style presidential suite with antique Ming style decoration and interiors, Andy and Ivana meet the Smith family and their grandparents, who are all dressed up and waiting.

Naturally, there is inevitably a burst of joy and hush and warmth of getting together, after all, Andy has hardened his wings, and he rarely goes to Washington, and he rarely sees people in a year.

Because of Ivana's existence, the family naturally did not mention the matter of little Laura, but the eyes and inadvertent expressions that looked at Andy one by one revealed a kind of strangeness, and Li Wanqing even used the excuse of not being home to give Andy a brutal cheek pinching lesson, and no one present opened his mouth to help him.

Auston Smith has always put on an indifferent face to Andy, looking at Andy with sharp eyes, but Andy naturally doesn't care about his cheap daddy's attitude, and finally endures the feeling of being disgusted by himself, and temporarily escapes from Li Wanqing's clutches.

After all, Ivana is here, Li Wanqing did not express her dissatisfaction excessively, in case she said that she was bald, it would be really a pit son, the family is still very satisfied with Ivana, Andy's genuine girlfriend, although the family is lacking, but it is good enough, plus the relationship between the two has always been very good, and Ivana is also a very smart woman, knows how to weigh the pros and cons, the art of compromise, which in the opinion of old Smith, emotional intelligence is so high, it is completely a good seedling in politics, and it is also suitable for his own childish grandson.

Grandma, grandma and mom pulled Ivana away to chat, and there was only grandpa, grandpa and cheap dad left in the living room, Andy looked at the three people who were staring at him with a smile on his face with a somewhat embarrassed face.

"Ahem... It's almost time, who's going to be at tonight's banquet?"

Hearing that Andy had nothing to say, the three of them all snorted softly and coldly, but they also knew that this was not a good time to talk to Andy about that matter, and they didn't mention it, after all, it was on someone's territory.

"After I came in the afternoon, I met and chatted with President Xiaofei Shoes and Paulson for a while, Paulson was worried about the situation of the two houses all the time, this time in Beijing, he needed to communicate with the leaders in charge of finance and economy in charge of the Celestial Empire and the central bank governor to ensure the "safety" of the two houses, for Fannie Mae's financing issues, he hopes you... ”

"Grandpa, I'm sorry to interrupt you, there's no need to go on this topic, I'm not interested at all, didn't Congress just pass the Housing Market and Economic Recovery Act, which gives the Treasury Department wide discretion, I'm sure Paulson will find a way, I don't have a half-dime interest in the brazen two-house. Andy shook his head and directly interrupted his grandfather's relay, he was not interested at all, he didn't even want to listen to it.

"Poof—"

"Haha, Paulson also wants to be blind, and he wants to eat from the mouth of this little fox... Li Dakang laughed out loud without giving face, and Old Smith glanced at his old friend angrily, but when he saw Andy's expression, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

Auston also shook his head speechlessly, although he was very dissatisfied with his son messing around outside, but he still knew a lot about his son's cleverness and cunning, plus this kid got a large group of people to act as a think tank for him, and it was impossible to fool him.

With his understanding, his own money-obsessed bastard son is definitely unprofitable, and it is definitely faster than anyone else to make a profit, as for what feelings he wants to use to persuade him to make a loss-making business, it is better to wash and sleep.

While everyone was laughing, there was a knock on the door, and Old Smith's assistant came in and told them that the time was almost up and they could move to the ballroom.

Everyone stood up, and under the parallel of Smith Sr. and Li Dakang, they walked out of the presidential suite, and went downstairs to the place where the banquet was held.

Fangfei Garden, also known as Building 17, is specially used to hold large-scale conferences, press conferences, cocktail parties, and banquets, and also has a unique advantage in the hotel.

When Andy got out of the car with Ivana and walked slowly on the red carpet behind everyone, he saw the familiar face he could see every day from the news 13 years ago, the big boss and his wife stood there with a kind smile waiting for the arrival of the guests.
