Chapter Eighty-Two: The Hills in the Manor
Before he could get home, Stephen chased after him in his Wind Child.
First caught up with Lacey in the back, the old guy whistled bastardly and shouted, "Hey, my name is Stephen, and I'm Chen Mo's uncle." ”
Lacey sat in the passenger seat, unable to see Stephen talking, his car was too short.
Stephen saw it just now, there was a girl sitting in the pickup truck, thinking that Chen Mo's girlfriend would joke, shouted twice and did not respond, Stephen sped up to catch up with Chen Mo, and drove side by side with Chen Mo, and when he saw Ye Xiaoxi in the passenger seat, he was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said loudly: "Hi, my name is Stephen, and I am Chen Mo's uncle." ”
Ye Xiaoxi shrunk his neck and opened the car window: "My name is Ellie, hello uncle." ”
"Hahaha, hello, hello. Stephen laughed.
Chen Mo rolled his eyes, instantly increased his speed with one foot of the accelerator, returned to the mansion on the top of the mountain, and said to Ye Xiaoxi: "Don't mind, Stephen likes to joke." Very good one. ”
Ye Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, Chen Mo noticed that Ye Xiaoxi had dressed up carefully and put on makeup today. Dressed up carefully is only relative to before, she painted a light eye shadow, a pair of black and white pure eyes look more beautiful, exuding a dusty temperament......
Stephen stopped the car and couldn't wait to get out of the car: "What a beautiful little girl, very lucky to find a girlfriend like you silently." ”
Chen Mo had a black line on his face: "God, you can't speak." ”
"Hahaha, I'm glad you're in love. I was on the phone with your father the other day and he asked about your life...... Also, if you have a girlfriend, you shouldn't be as withdrawn as you used to be, we ......"
Before Stephen finished speaking, Ye Xiaoxi quietly stuck out his tongue and asked, "Was Chen Mo very withdrawn before?"
"Very withdrawn. And he has a weird personality......" Stephen shrugged his shoulders: "Especially after I fell in love with Elson, his personality has become even more eccentric." "Chen Mo was really weird for a while, he was at home for more than half a month, Stephen and Elson had an activity to ask Chen Mo to go out together, and he didn't go. It was probably the short time he was in love with Elson......
Ah Hua, who was playing in the yard, saw Stephen and ran over happily and threw herself into his arms to be coquettish.
Stephen rubbed Ah Hua's head vigorously: "Long time no see, you've gained weight." ”
"Wangwang......" Ah Hua hated the word 'fat' the most, and yelled at Stephen a few times.
Lacey also came.
Chen Mo introduced them: "Go into the room and sit for a while." ”
"Nope. Stephen held Ah Hua in one hand and Ah Huang in the other, and said with a smile: "I still have to go over and help prepare the dinner." I want to bring two dogs along. ”
"No problem. ”
Stephen stuffed two big, fat dogs into Pagani's passenger seat and waved away.
"Go into the house and sit down. Chen Mo made an inviting gesture.
Ye Xiaoxi took Lacey's arm in the past, and the girl looked around as she had done in the yacht community before, revealing an exaggerated expression.
Modernist style villa, oversized floor-to-ceiling windows, pale white walls and metal frames, you can see the layout of the living room in the courtyard......
"Silently, how much real estate do you have. Lacey asked.
"Quite a lot. Chen Mo was asked this topic for the first time, there are five properties with independent title deeds, Canyon Manor is a whole, Granson Ranch is also a whole, and the other is the three houses in the yacht community.
There were drinks and snacks at home, Chen Mo took them out in one go, and also brought a plate of fruit: "Do you eat grapes? There are still grapes in the backyard." ”
"Eat. Ye Xiaoxi smiled and nodded.
Chen Mo went to the backyard to pick two bunches of Jufeng grapes and came back, and the two girls whispered in the living room: "You say, who is richer compared to your cousin's family?" asked Lacey.
"Why do you care about this?" Ye Xiaoxi shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"Curious. ”
"Eat fruit...... Chen Mo came in with grapes, cleaned them in the kitchen, brought them to the living room, and sat next to Ye Xiaoxi: "Where to eat tomorrow, have you decided?" ”
I said last Friday that I had dinner this week, introduced friends from both sides, and officially announced the relationship between the two.
Ye Xiaoxi was more entangled: "I want to find an ordinary restaurant, it's too high-end, I can't afford it." ”
Chen Mo shook Ye Xiaoxi's hand: "Okay, you just have an idea." ”
Ye Xiaoxi took out his mobile phone and found a well-rated Italian restaurant on Yelp, located at the Montridge Park Yacht Marina: "How about this?"
"Yes, can you book a place. ”
Ye Xiaoxi successfully booked the location with the APP.
Chen Mo took a screenshot and sent the message of the dinner at noon tomorrow to Rayong, Stephen, and Elson. Ye Xiaoxi also wrote down the address and invited her friends.
"How about we rent a boat and go to sea tomorrow for lunch? Vivien got her yacht license last month, and she's always wanted to organize everyone to go out to sea. Lacey Road.
"Vivien is another good friend of ours. I'll tell you tomorrow. ”
Chen Mo nodded: "I have a small yacht, if there are not many people, you can take my yacht to sea." ”
Lacey wasn't surprised at all and didn't think Chen Mo was showing off, the man who went out in a one77 owned a private yacht and it wasn't worth making a fuss about, and he owned a house in the Napa yacht community: "There are about seven or eight of us here. ”
"I don't know if my cousin will come. It's better to rent a boat to go to sea, everyone AA system. Ye Xiaoxi showed pitiful eyes and looked at Chen Mo.
"Okay, listen to you. Chen Mo shook his head helplessly.
Lacey looked at the two and shrugged her shoulders speechlessly: "Since there is a boat, why rent it." I really don't understand you, it's a big deal that two ships go to sea together. ”
Chen Mo spread his hands, looked at Ye Xiaoxi, and asked her to make up his mind.
"Well, well, I don't know yet if they've decided to go to sea. Ye Xiaoxi immediately used her mobile phone to contact her friend.
Chen Mo took a sip of mineral water, got up and went out, drove the one77 to the underground garage, drove out the two four-wheel drive off-road, and handed Laixi a car key: "Let's go around the manor." ”
"Okay. I'll drive. Ye Xiaoxi also took a key and sat in the driver's seat.
Leave Mount Alat and head north on the dirt road.
The forest to the north, the secluded mountain trails, twists and turns.
"Let's go this way, let's go to the hills over there. Chen Mo pointed to a dilapidated hut and said.
The path led directly to the courtyard of the hut, and Ye Xiaoxi looked at it: "Do you know the owner of the house? ”
"It's part of the estate and we haven't stepped out of the estate yet. Chen Mo smiled.
Ye Xiaoxi opened his mouth: "How big is your manor?"
"1850 acres. Big, isn't it?"
"Uh-huh. Ye Xiaoxi nodded, if it was in the Central Valley or in the middle of nowhere, the 1850-acre estate might be nothing, but this is Napa. The estate of 1,850 acres of land is somewhat unimaginable. Seemingly, the estate is also located in the AVA appellation of Napa.
"I also think that I still haven't figured out the boundaries of the manor. ”
There were more than a dozen acres of vineyards on both sides of the wooden house, and a dirt road could lead to the hill that Chen Mo was looking at just now.
The semi-circular hill can be climbed directly by the road, and the slope is very steep from below. Chen Mo has been here a few times, climbing off-road and looking at the scenery.
