Chapter 493: A friend came from afar

The luxury cars parked in the underground garage of Li Zhiyang's castle are estimated to be able to open an auto show, and the sports cars have Aston Martin, Ferrari, Porsche, Lotus, Viper, and a Bugatti.

Luxury cars have Maybach, Rolls-Royce, Bentley...

Looking at these luxury cars parked in his house, Li Zhiyang suddenly felt that his head was about to explode, it seems that there are now a group of relatives living in his castle

Li Zhiyang was still having a headache, Nancy had already walked around from the side of the car, grabbed his arm, and then said to Li Zhiyang with a smile.

"What are you doing in a daze? Honey, let's go in."

Li Zhiyang had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Nancy into his castle.

This parking garage is just below the main building of the castle, take the elevator to the two floors, which is the corridor of the large living room on the first floor of the castle.

Coming out of the elevator, before he reached the hall on the first floor, in the corridor, Li Zhiyang had already heard the noisy sound in the hall, as well as the smell of various wines and perfumes.

Even if he thought with his toes, he knew that there must be a grand drinking party going on inside, and when he walked to the door of the hall, the bodyguards who had been following them helped them push the door open.

Suddenly, the noise in the hall became louder, and Li Zhiyang and Nancy walked into the hall, only to see many people standing in the hall.

The men were all in suits and leather shoes, and the women were also wearing heavy makeup and dressing up, and everyone was standing together and chatting in twos and threes, all holding wine glasses in their hands.

Li Zhiyang took a general look, and saw that there were almost a hundred or so people here, and it seemed that they were all relatives of James and Carnegie.

At this time, Mrs. Carnegie, who was surrounded by several women and was flattered and happy, saw Li Zhiyang and Nancy walking in at a glance, so she hurriedly pushed away the women who surrounded her and walked over to Li Zhiyang and Nancy.

Mrs. Carnegie walked up to them, first hugged Nancy, hugged her in her arms, looked at her carefully, and then gave Li Zhiyang a big hug.

At this time, the people in the whole hall were silent, and if they could be treated like this by Mrs. Carnegie, it would go without saying that the Lord must have come.

These people are indeed relatives of Carnegie and James, but the family affection of Americans has always been relatively weak, and it is not to mention a big family like them that has passed five or six generations.

Many people here have been scattered all over the world and branched out, so we don't see each other very often.

Even at the family reunion at the end of the year, there are many people who may not be able to attend, as the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and many people are already very angry in everyone's impression.

If it weren't for the recent rumors in the upper circles of the United States that James had found a good son-in-law, and this son-in-law was still from the Celestial Empire, and if they were going to hold a grand engagement ceremony, it is estimated that these people would not have come so together.

People have a heart for gossip, and such old fritters who have been in the upper class for a long time have a strong sense of utilitarianism.

Li Zhiyang's purchase of Kozlov's castle has become a legend in the upper class of the United States.

You must know that in such an era of economic recession, it is rare for people to dare to spend a lot of money and spend $200 million to buy an ancient castle, even in the Hamptons on Long Island, New York, where there are many wealthy people

So these relatives, now so full, there are many people who also come with the idea of wanting to see where this guy is sacred.

Now that the main lord has finally appeared, how can everyone not widen their eyes and take a good look at what is different about this guy, whether this guy of the Celestial Empire has the legendary three heads and six arms

"Well, gentlemen and ladies, now that the owner of this castle has finally appeared, I will introduce it to you. ”

Carnegie was very satisfied, the aura brought by Li Zhiyang and Nancy when they appeared, and now the whole room is quiet, just to introduce the big guys.

In the past few days, Mrs. Carnegie has raised her eyebrows, but in fact, she is quite ambitious by nature.

But since she married James, her health has not been very good, so she became more devout and no longer involved in those red dust things, especially after giving birth to Nancy.

At that time, after the doctor told her that she was afraid that she would only have one child in her life, she would no longer participate in James's business, and James also died in the heart of the family after that, and the family was calm.

It wasn't until some time ago that Li Zhiyang's appearance changed everything in this family, and some of the things called ambition of her and James took root in their psychology again.

In the past few days since Li Zhiyang and Nancy left, their castle has become the focus of almost the entire Hampton area, and it can be said that there is an endless stream of distinguished guests who come to visit every day.

And when everyone, when you see the detailed scenery of this castle, you will inevitably be shocked by the momentum of this mansion, although there is a lot of money here, but there are really not many people who can spend a lot of money to buy such a castle.

In the past few days, the flattery of people from all walks of life towards James and Carnegie has made Carnegie feel as if he was several years younger.

When he introduced the main lord to these relatives and guests who came out today, Carnegie was already full of excitement.

"These two are my beloved daughter, Nancy. Rockefeller, and her boyfriend Li Zhiyang. ”

"Hello everyone, it's a pleasure for you to be here, Nancy and I are very honored to be here, and I hope that on the day of my engagement with Nancy, you will all be able to attend. I hope you can have a good time here, so please enjoy it."

After Carnegie introduced Li Zhiyang and Nancy to everyone, Li Zhiyang, as the owner of the castle, of course, had to give a speech, so he also said a few words about the scene.

After Li Zhiyang finished speaking, everyone in the hall also applauded their faces, and many people said something loudly, but Li Zhiyang didn't hear it too clearly.

But he didn't care very much, but at this time, James didn't know where to come from, suddenly appeared, and then led Li Zhiyang and Nancy to start wandering around various small circles.

It took more than an hour to almost finish the entire hall, but Li Zhiyang was already dizzy.

Originally, it was not easy to remember the names of foreigners, and some of them made their names stinky and long, and the relationship between relatives was also very confusing.

Of course, Li Zhiyang can't remember it all clearly, some of them are relatives of the James family, and some are relatives of the Carnegie family, but they are all distant relatives.

There are old men and old women, there are also young people who rushed over on behalf of their families who have difficulty moving, and those who flew over from Australia, and some who rushed over from the United Kingdom

In the past hour or so, John alone, Li Zhiyang has known no less than ten, David also has several, not to mention salad, Alice and the like.

Fortunately, everyone is now a relative, so everyone's attitude towards him is quite good, but Li Zhiyang feels extremely bored, he just wants to end all this as soon as possible, so as to find a place to rest.

Nancy didn't feel tired at all, but Li Zhiyang felt very tired, after all, he had worked hard for almost an hour last night.

It seems that this is not a ploughed land, only a tired cow, and the saying is really true

Finally, after a round of dealing with these relatives, Li Zhiyang also drank less, and after this circle, he drank no less than three glasses of red wine, plus three glasses of champagne.

He just had a little breakfast before getting on the plane in the morning, and now it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and he had drunk a lot of wine, and now Li Zhiyang is really tired.

So after wandering around the hall for about a while, he whispered to Nancy.

"Honey, you deal with it first, I'm a little drunk, go back to the back and rest for a while. ”

Nancy also saw Li Zhiyang's fatigue, so she hurriedly let him rest.

Li Zhiyang except for the hall, directly summoned a servant to him and asked.

"What about my parents, where are they?"

Long before Li Zhiyang and Nancy set off for Boston, Li Zhiyang originally wanted to bring his parents and travel together, but then he thought about it, the current season is not very warm.

And in the winter, even if you get there, there is nothing to see, the two old men, following him from the Celestial Empire to the United States, this time simply don't let them go together.

And this time, I was mainly going to talk about business, not to play, so I didn't bring the two old men with me.

However, considering that after he and Nancy left, Dad Li and Mom Li didn't even have a person to speak, both of them were almost sixty people, and they didn't speak English very well, so life must be inconvenient, so I found a Celestial Empire student studying in New York for Dad Li and Mom Li to be a translator.

However, because he was in a hurry to rush to Boston, he handed it over to James and Carnegie to deal with, and he called to ask later.

On the phone, Li's father and Li's mother were quite satisfied with the translator James found for them.

In the past few days, Li Zhiyang estimates that Carnegie has done a lot at home, and many relatives of their family have come, but his father and mother will definitely not like such an occasion.

After all, the culture is different, and the language is not compatible, and the two of them must have been stuffy these days, so as soon as Li Zhiyang came out of the cocktail party, he found a servant to ask about the situation of the two old men.

"Mr. and Mrs. Li have gone out, and they seem to have gone out for afternoon tea. ”

The maid who didn't know where it was from, explained to Li Zhiyang.

Yo drink the two old people, it's very fashionable Weifu is here, and they have learned the foreigner's set and the habit of afternoon tea, Li Zhiyang thought with a smile.

But as long as the two old people are not lonely, it will be fine

After sending the servant away, Li Zhiyang went upstairs to sleep, and slept until five o'clock in the afternoon, and the sky outside was already completely dark.

Li Zhiyang turned over, felt that there was one more person beside him, looked up, it turned out to be Nancy, this little girl, I don't know when, also ran up, at this time by his side, who is fragrant

Li Zhiyang didn't wake her up, got up and got out of bed, and walked to the window, at this time the snow outside had stopped, and by looking at the snow on the ground, you could know how heavy the snow was, Li Zhiyang estimated that there was at least twenty centimeters of snow on the ground.

He turned around and picked up his shirt, intending to go out to have a look, at this time Mrs. Carnegie's drinking party, it is estimated that it is over, those guests, it is estimated that they have all left, and those who have not left may also go back to the room to rest.

When he put on his shirt, he took the phone and looked at it, only to see that there were several missed calls on it, and it turned out that when he was sleeping, he turned the phone to silent, so he didn't receive these calls.

As soon as he remembered that Nancy had mentioned to him yesterday that he had a few friends from the Celestial Dynasty who had called home, Li Zhiyang hurriedly called back according to those numbers.

The phone over there was quickly connected, and a fluent Beijing film voice came from the other side of the phone.

"Hey, it's Zhiyang's micro-service?"

"Yes, it's me. ”

"You're a girl, why don't you answer the phone, or you just can't get through, what are you busy with?"

Li Zhiyang immediately heard that this was Liu Jie's kid's voice, so he returned with a smile.

"I'm really sorry, these days to get the place, the signal is not very good, so the phone is always no signal. I've just returned to New York, what's the matter, where are you?"

"Hehe, I've just come back from out of town, just arrived in New York. ”

As soon as Li Zhiyang heard Liu Jie's words, he knew that this kid must not have done anything good, so he asked with a smile.

"You kid, where are you going to spend it? As soon as you get to the United States, you go out to the willows, and be careful of getting sick. ”

I don't have to take such a buried person, my brother came to this country with a great dream. ”

"Just you? Hmph, too

Li Zhiyang hit Liu Jie mercilessly and said.

"Hey, brother, this is called sacrificing oneself to save those stumbling women in the United States, do you know?"

Liu Jie said quibly.

"Come on, by the way, where did you just come back from playing?"

Li Zhiyang asked with a smile.

"Hehe, I went to the West Coast of the United States, of course I want to go to Las Vegas, but if I come to the East Coast, of course I have to go to Atlantic City."

Liu Jie is very yin. Dang replied.

Li Zhiyang didn't have a chance to go to these two places mentioned by Liu Jie At this time, listening to Liu Jie's coquettish words, of course he secretly scolded this guy for being sassy.

"By the way, just yourself?"

Li Zhiyang asked again.

"Of course, there is my brother, we also just got off the plane, I couldn't call you yesterday, we simply went to Atlantic City to play around, this is not just back, he is now taking a bath, we are staying at the Hilton Times Garden Plaza Hotel, the room number is xxx, do you come over?"

Liu Jie asked.

"Go, of course I'm going"

Li Zhiyang said, chatted with Liu Jie a few more words, Li Zhiyang hurriedly got dressed, and directly asked people to prepare the car and rushed to the Hilton Hotel.

When Li Zhiyang arrived at the hotel, it was almost six o'clock in the evening, and on the way Liu Jie called him again and asked him to go directly to the restaurant to find them, both of them were hungry, and now they were waiting for Li Zhiyang in the restaurant, so Li Zhiyang went straight to the restaurant of this hotel.

Now it's Christmas in one week, but this year's New York is no longer prosperous, and this year's economic situation is really bad, so many American families are also cutting expenses and tightening their belts to live.

Therefore, this Sheldon hotel has completely lost the prosperity of the past, and there are only three or two kittens in the restaurant, so Cheng Dazhuang's huge size is very easy to recognize.

As soon as Li Zhiyang entered the restaurant, he saw Liu Jie and Cheng Dazhuang sitting by the window, enjoying the night view of New York over and over again, ordering a table of seafood and chewing there.

Li Zhiyang walked over, looked at the two of them and said with a smile.

"I said buddy, you two are too inauthentic, I said I came, and you two started eating first. ”

Cheng Dazhuang smiled when he heard it, and didn't say anything, but Liu Jie said eloquently.

"As far as you still have the face, the two of us came over from a long distance to cheer you on, you can be good, the real people don't show up, you are stunned to cool us for two days, and you are still waiting for you to eat? ”

At this time, the waiter of the restaurant came over, pulled out a chair for Li Zhiyang, asked him to sit down, and asked him to order. Now New York is not as good as other times, there are very few people who can order a big meal like today, and these few look like big high-rollers from the Celestial Empire, so in order to consume, this waiter's attitude is also very good.

"A creamy oyster soup, an appetizer for a fruit salad, a cheese shrimp ball, a good grilled lamb chops, and for dessert I'll ask for your dark mousse cake. ”

Li Zhiyang is now familiar with Western food, and he has been to the United States several times, and he doesn't know how many times he has eaten Western food with Nancy, so he is still quite familiar with Western food.

Cheng Dazhuang and the two of them also eat Western food, but he and Liu Jie are affordable, they want either lobster or oysters, and now the two of them have reached the step of eating the main meal.

The waiter turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Liu Jie.

"Wait, give us another bottle of '82 Lafite"
