From ancient times to the present, there are more icing on the cake, and less charcoal in the snow.

They say that when you are proud, your friends see you, and when you are disappointed, you see your friends.

Ran Xixi is naturally not exempt from vulgarity.

I still remember that she was only 16 years old when she was sent to the United States by her father to study. In the month before leaving, there was a banquet almost every day. How many girls dream of Birkin limited edition handbags are hard to find on the market, and she doesn't pity them by cramming them into her cloakroom, which rivals Paris-Hilton, and refuses to look at them again.

And now, she just wants to go back to China alone and ask her friends to help find a small apartment where she can stay temporarily, but everyone is afraid that she will stick to herself and avoid it.

Manhattan in March is still a bit of a spring season, the temperature has been hovering around 10-, and this year's rain seems to be extraordinarily heavy, and the sky is always slightly gray in the haze, just like Ran Xixi's mood at the moment.

A week ago, the Ran family declared bankruptcy, and his father committed suicide by taking drugs in his office. Before he died, his face was still facing the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window, as if he was still looking at the business empire that once belonged to him.

Looking up at the sky, Ran Xixi put her hands in the pockets on both sides of her coat, she stood on the side of the road, made more than a dozen phone calls in one go, and the coffee in her hand went from hot to cold, and the taste was lost.

She booked a flight ticket from New York to Zhonghai at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and today is the day after the worst day in the United States. The simple luggage had been packed and stored at a small hotel south of Central Park, and the four-bedroom apartment at 820 Fifth Avenue, where she had lived for many years, had long since been taken away and no longer belonged to her.

However, at the age of 21, even in China, he is still studying in college. For several days, Ran Xixi has been in a trance and dazed state. She had very little cash left after she had paid the maids and paid off the family's hefty bills. As for the huge amount of money in the bank account, it has been frozen early in order to cooperate with the investigation of the relevant domestic departments, and she cannot withdraw a dime at all.

Stepping on the most expensive land in the world, Ran Xixi seemed to have a dream of being drunk with gold, but not only did she not have crystal shoes at her feet, but she didn't even have a pumpkin carriage that could take her for a ride.

Behind her, there are countless luxury stores, super-large department stores, the rich swaggering, watches and cars, gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes attract fashionable customers from all over the world. The essence of Manhattan is actually only four words, material, extravagant.

Just a week ago, Ran Xixi was one of them, enjoying her wanton and affluent young life.

Before leaving, she decided to go to the perfume counter again.

The night before, when packing her luggage, Ran Xixi accidentally broke a bottle of her favorite "carnival", 100ml of pale pink liquid that had just been opened was all spilled on the floor in an instant, the rich smell of Bulgarian wild roses mixed with orange blossoms filled the whole bedroom, the cold aroma made people can't open their eyes, she stared at the broken bottle and burst into tears.

Drinking the coffee that had cooled down completely, she crossed the street and headed for the familiar street.

"At 9:30 a.m. on March 12, 2014, a large explosion occurred and collapsed in a building in Manhattan, New York, between 116th and 117th Streets, near the intersection of Park Avenue in Uptown Manhattan. As of the 13th, the accident killed 3 people, 2 of whom were women......"
