She is an insecure woman, and the only setback in her life is the divorce battle of her parents, which made her able to say in her teens that people are so ugly, you can't rely on others in life, you can only rely on yourself, don't trust anyone, you can only believe in your own feelings. There may be some unknown things going on, but it's enough to see that she lacks a sense of security.
So she always likes to fight for what she sees, and after getting it, she will hold it in her hands, she is smart, capable and understands compromises to achieve her goals, likes to take the initiative, enjoys the advantages brought by status, and at the same time has the common diseases of all rich children, princess disease, vanity.
When he and Ivana established a romantic relationship, as time went on, the two got to know each other better, and he found that what he could eat her to death was because she was too smart, too accountant and knew how to compromise.
In her daily life, she likes to her tail from time to time, show her sense of superiority, like the luxury that money brings, and enjoy the difference, or privilege, that fame and status bring.
Since Andy knows her character, then naturally he will not be indifferent, since she likes glamour and privileges, then give it to her, all when his grandfather asked him if he would attend the New Year's dinner at the White House, he agreed without hesitation, is there anything more exciting for Ivana than the White House, the largest center of power in the United States.
The New York media have touted her as the first in New York, and her international ability is naturally first-class, and the broad stage of the White House dinner may be what she yearns for the most, from the gossip page to the entertainment headlines, from the economic page to the political page, Andy has observed Ivana's eyes and expressions every time she reads the newspaper reporting her news, and she enjoys these attention immensely, which undoubtedly satisfies her vanity to the greatest extent.
Andy doesn't think that with this development, she can leave herself, or rather she will leave herself, smart people, natural and so on.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Andy, wearing a shirt and tie and wearing suits and leather shoes, was bored looking through the newspapers in the Washington area, with the noisy sound of a hair dryer in his ears, the hairstylist was styling Ivana's hair, and in front of her was the makeup artist busy applying her eyeshadow and lip gloss, and a hotel waitress was ironing a dress for her, and a cashmere coat with white stripes on a black background hung next to her.
"Honey, can you help me pick out a pair of shoes to match this dress?" called Ivana as she sat motionless in her chair.
Andy looked at her helplessly, shook his head and smiled, got up from the sofa, and walked to a dining car that the waiter had just pushed over, and the upper and lower floors were filled with all kinds of brand-name shoes.
Looking back at the red slanted waist dress that was being ironed, he picked up a pair of black small pointed-toe heels from the dining car, walked up to Ivana, picked up the shoes and shook them in front of her eyes, "That's it!"
"Moh... Thank you, dear. Ivana pursed her pink lips and kissed them, smiling like a flower.
Andy smiled, smiled lightly, looked at it in front of Ivana, and said, "It's beautiful!"
The smile on Ivana's face was even sweeter, and Andy's praise was her favorite thing to hear.
Andy no longer bothered the make-up artist and stylist at work, after all, when the two of them showed affection, they both paused, stood by and waited, returned to the couch, and continued to flip through the newspaper.
"By the way, my dear, isn't your game company going to launch a new game on New Year's Day?
"No problem, it was originally decided to go on sale around Christmas, but there was something wrong with the game disc factory, and the time was delayed for a while, so it was changed to January 1, 07, haven't you played the game, there is no problem, they can handle it. Andy closed the newspaper, leaned back on the sofa, crossed Erlang's legs, and replied lightly.
"Plants vs. Zombies, hehe, how can you come up with such an interesting game, and the images are so interesting, I thought zombies would be disgusting at first. Ivana smiled and admired as she thought of the zombie game she had experienced.
Andy chuckled, "Zombie" was finally going to be released, and his game company was about to have a third game that swept the world, and its daily cash income was about to double again.
"Dear, the Wall Street Journal reports that your game company has now risen to $50 million in market capitalization, and this "Zombie" will definitely increase again as soon as it is released. Congratulations. Ivana had a happy smile on her face and a hint of pride in her tone, proud of her boyfriend's accomplishments.
"Hehe, thank you. Andy smiled and looked at the watch in his hand, there was still an hour to go, and by the time Ivana finished cleaning up, it should be about the same.
BLT Prime Restaurant.
Andy first greeted his grandfather and grandmother, grandma looked kind, stretched out her hand and touched his face distressedly, and said with relief: "It's really good to see you cheer up, thank God for making my little Andy more handsome and mature!"
Grandma's words caused several people to chuckle, and after Andy and his mother met again, he began to introduce the glamorous and moving Ivana to his family, wearing a red dress, because the skirt was slit, a pair of white long legs loomed, adding to the sense of xing.
The smile on Grandma's face was very kind, and she took Ivana's hand and exclaimed: "What a beautiful girl, I have seen you from the media a long time ago, and the real person is even more beautiful." ā
Ivana was a little shy when she was complimented, but the smile on her face became sweeter and said, "Grandma is also beautiful, especially your temperament, it's so elegant." ā
Grandpa Andy looked at Ivana and nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied with her. Andy's mother Li Wanqing and Ivana have met several times, and she is now the chief designer of Ivana's brand jewelry, and she will talk to Ivana on the phone every once in a while, so the two are already very familiar, and she is very satisfied with her son's girlfriend.
"Alright, let's go and finish the food first, and then let's talk. Auston interrupted the three women who were standing in the doorway and started chatting.
Li Wanqing, who was interrupted from talking, glanced at her husband angrily, but she also knew that this was not a good place to chat, and the group walked into the restaurant.
Under the guidance of the waiter, they went to the exclusive position that is usually used by CP, and after the group sat down, the waiter delivered a stack of recipes.
Ivana began to introduce Li Wanqing and her grandmother to the specialties of this restaurant, after all, this restaurant is the majority of their CP hotel, and she knows better than anyone that the dishes in this restaurant are more in line with women's tastes.
As for Old Smith, Auston, and Andy, they chose a set of dishes, and they didn't need to be so troublesome as ordering.
"Two days ago, I saw your flying button on the basketball court on TV, it was really unbelievable, your physical fitness is so good now, the bounce power, it's like flying, I don't think it's worse than Jordan's flying button. Old Smith said as he looked lovingly at his grandson.
"Hehe, it's okay, I don't dare to compare with Qiao Dashen, since I started to contact boxing, both physical fitness, attack speed and strength have been greatly improved!" Andy smiled and took out the words that had been prepared a long time ago.
"No matter what kind of exercise, you can get great results, by the way, listen to your father, don't you have two Dobermans? Why didn't you bring them, you know that I also like Doberman very much, but your grandmother likes the docility of the Golden Retriever even more... At this, Old Smith shrugged his shoulders helplessly.
When Andy heard the question, he shook his head speechlessly and smiled bitterly, and said: "Originally, I was going to bring it, but my grandfather said that the bloodlines of the two dogs are very good, and if they are raised in my hands, they will only raise pet stupid dogs, so he left them on the farm, saying that they were airlifted to me after training for a period of time." Andy remembered that while touching the two Dobermans who were lying on the ground and panting heavily, and his grandfather Li Kangda with a weird smile.
