The west coast of the United States is a typical Mediterranean climate group, the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, Chu Weiyuan was still wearing a thick coat when he got on the plane, but at this time, he only wore a thin shawl to keep out the cold. The car drove slowly along the road to the foot of Beverly Hills, with the coastal scenery of the Pacific Ocean along the way.
The wide Lincoln car Pang Zexun sat at her hand, and she could see him as soon as she turned around. But Chu Weiyuan never looked back, as if the whole person's soul had been hooked away since he answered the phone call.
At that time, she was about to take the boarding pass to check in her luggage in the terminal in turn, when her phone rang, and the caller ID on it was a person Pang Zexun had only heard of and never seen, and it was the only person Chu Wei was afraid of in this city - her brother Chu Mu.
The Chu family forbade her to have a relationship with herself, Pang Zexun knew it, but looking at the pictures of the surrounding airports coming and going, Pang Zexun suddenly became a little provocative, because he wanted to see that Chu Weiyuan was already by his side, and what else could the people of her Chu family have to leave her, he wanted to see who was more important in Chu Weiyuan's heart.
Chu Weiyuan was still very calm when he picked it up, but Chu Mu's paragraph was too high, and it only took a few words to judge where she was and who was doing something, he didn't say anything, but he still accurately made Chu Weiyuan whimper uncomfortably, Pang Zexun clearly heard the gentle and clear male voice threatening her at this end, Chu Weiyuan, I will give you time, you think clearly. That was the first time Pang Zexun saw Chu Weiyuan so scared, she squatted on the ground and hugged herself and cried silently, as if she had suffered greatly.
Pang Zexun didn't stop her, and even gave her a chance to regret it at the last time. But who knew that she gently wiped away her tears after hearing this, and still looked at him stubbornly and said, I'll go with you. He guessed that at that moment, Chu Weiyuan must have made a great determination to separate from everything here.
Thinking of this scene, his heart was suddenly overflowing with warmth and emotion, Pang Zexun reached out and pulled her over the car window and hugged her, trying to divert her low mood. "I'll be home in a while, do you want to get some sleep first?"
Chu Weiyuan had only heard of Beverly Hills, and had never been there, and after a long glance at the brilliant lights on the mountainside, he felt that he seemed to be too alienated from him along the way, and he couldn't help but feel a little sorry in his heart. "You don't live here alone, do you? If there is a family member...... Isn't it rude to go to bed first? β
Chu Weiyuan only knew that Pang Zexun's father had many brothers and sisters, and his eldest son was also a junior, so he should have a lot of rules.
Pang Zexun's eyes lit up with Chu Weiyuan's sentence, and his family cooled down, and his tone became a little stiffer unconsciously. "They are not my family...... Have you ever seen a family that wants their nephews, brothers, and brothers to die outside, and never come back to fight them for their property? β
The driver, an American who has been employed by his family for many years, did not understand Chinese, but still carefully glanced at Pang Zexun through the front rearview mirror.
Chu Wei was embarrassed by his rhetorical question, so he could only hold his hand comfortingly. Five fingers rested on his palm, soft, Pang Zexun held her fingers and kissed her lips lightly as if in response.
"Don't worry about me, I'm ...... now I'm not afraid of anything. β
The Pang family's ancestral home is a manor in the southern depths of Beverly Hills, although Beverly Hills is small in size, it is a world-famous rich area, where many North American stars and domestic and foreign billionaires are gathered, and any house has a reason. The Pang family can have a place to live in such a place, and in the final analysis, it is the result of the hard work of the older generation.
The area of the manor is not luxurious, but it is also complete, I heard that it was designed by a French designer earlier, with a strong European style.
In the study on the second floor, a middle-aged woman with deep nasolabial folds was looking out through the curtains, and the intricate dress skirt on her body added a bit of sadness to her. Behind her, a man about her age straightened his black bow tie around his neck and said in a deep voice. "Coming back?"
The middle-aged woman stared at the black car in the distance with a long look, and snorted from her nose, full of mockery. "After going back for a few months, I didn't get much to stand on, but I brought a girl back, and the mud couldn't support the wall."
The woman who spoke was Pang Zexun's aunt, his father's own sister, while the man was the youngest elder of the Pang family, Pang Zexun's own uncle. The sister and brother look like their mother, and a pair of eyes are pressed low under the two thick eyebrows, giving people a sense of seriousness and darkness for no reason.
The man was not as relaxed as his sister, but sighed and began to pace around the room, a little uneasy. "I heard from China that this girl is not ordinary, her family background is very large, and we ...... Don't act rashly, right? β
The woman was silent for a moment, also hesitating. "The position of the group has been dragging on until now, the board of directors has urged several times, if he announces his marriage at this time or comes back with a child, then your and my years of hard work will be in vain, the third and his uncle are already convincing some shareholders, the second! Resolutely can't give him this chance!! β
The eldest daughter of the Pang family has never married, and now she is almost fifty years old, so she is naturally worried about supporting the elderly in this flourishing family, but she and Pang Zexun's father have always had a bad relationship with brother and sister, so they have been pressing the treasure on their second brother, counting on him or his son to take over the Pang family's business, but with the identity of Pang Zexun's grandson, many unsightly methods can only be operated by two people.
It is said that people are reckless for money and profit, and this sentence is very well interpreted in this family. Seeing the black Lincoln car turn into the village, the man gritted his teeth. "Okay, it's all up to you."
The horn sounded three times, indicating that the owner of the house had returned from going out.
The woman chuckled and changed into another gentle face, and gracefully extended her hand to the man. "Let's go, go down to meet our dear nephew."
Ten Filipino maids in Zhuangzi lined up, standing on the left and right sides of the manor gate, led by a somewhat bald old man, the old man was dressed very exquisitely, wearing a white suit and holding a peachwood cane standing solemnly beside the car, that look and posture made Chu Weiyuan easily think of the housekeeper of Downton Abbey.
Chu Weiwan grew up in the great spring breeze of socialism since he was a child, and rarely felt such a strong petty bourgeois lifestyle in Western countries, and he was looked at stupidly for a while, and refused to get out of the car for a long time.
Pang Zexun couldn't help but smile and took the lead in getting down and opening the door on this side for her, and happily made an inviting gesture. A fluent and orthodox London note slipped out of his white teeth, and he was in a good mood about to fly into the sky. βssγβ
There were more than a dozen people from the Pang family standing behind the housekeeper, Chu Weiyuan swallowed his saliva nervously and quietly, and got out of the car with Pang Zexun's men. She didn't know it would be like this...... Formally, for a moment I felt a little out of place standing here.
In the crowd, Pang Zexun's aunt took the lead and stretched out her hand to Chu Weiyuan. "Miss Chu, right? Welcome. β
Chu Wei was willing to bend down and salute and was about to shake back, but who knew that he was stopped by Pang Zexun halfway. He held Chu Wei's hand and made a full protective attitude, glanced casually at the crowd and asked the old man beside him. "Where's the third uncle?"
The butler bowed and replied, "I have made an appointment to wait for you in the garden at the back." β
A simple conversation quickly made the situation much clearer, the Pang family was divided into two factions, the eldest daughter and second son of the Pang family's grandfather formed a faction with the relatives behind him, and the third son formed a faction with the eldest grandson and sister-in-law of the Pang family.
Pang Zexun gently pushed Chu Weiyuan in front of the old man and commanded. "Take her to my villa to rest and don't let anyone disturb her." After speaking, he also gave Chu Weiyuan an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I'm going to meet the third uncle first, and wait for me to come back, okay?" β
Not to mention the strict security here, it also gives people a sense of solemnity and solemnity for no reason, and when he first came here, he was handed over by Pang Zexun to someone he didn't know, Chu Weiyuan was very uncomfortable and cramped. "Don't you need to say hello to them? Won't you send me back? β
At this time, the open-top electric car in the park had already arrived, and Pang Zexun quickly got into the car and waved at her. "No, be obedient, go back and wait for me."
Under the complicated gaze of the crowd, Chu Weiyuan had to follow the old housekeeper towards a relatively low villa behind the manor, which was the residence of the previous chairmen of the Pang family. The villa was magnificently decorated, all kinds of facilities were readily available, and the old housekeeper led Chu Weiyuan to a door on the second floor, and then left after saying goodbye respectfully, not giving Chu Weiwei a chance to ask him anything.
Chu Weiwan looked blankly at the dark wallpaper in the room and the furniture she had never seen before, and suddenly squatted down sadly and buried her face deep in her arms, she had to say that this place was completely opposite to her imagination. Including people.
She has only stepped on this land for less than two hours, and she misses everything in her motherland like crazy, she misses her parents at home, misses her friends, misses those vicious colleagues in the magazine, and misses Ji Hengdong.
Ji Hengdong, where are you? What are you doing? Do you know that I am no longer in this city? Are you ...... It's time to get ready for a wedding with your fiancΓ©e?
β¦β¦
Ji Hengdong, who was far away in Beijing, sat on the steps on the side of the road and suddenly shook his uncontrolled hand, the soot fell in a pour, and the back of his hand was red, and the red of dusk gradually fell on the horizon, and he stretched out a pair of long legs and his eyebrows were heavy. I've been looking for her for a whole day, but I haven't heard from her......
When he was bold enough to go to her house just now, Father Chu was stunned when he saw him. "Dongzi? Why are you kid here? β
Even if Ji Hengdong was stunned when he saw Father Chu, he still had to lie to the old man as if nothing happened, "What's that...... Uncle Chu, I was looking for a wish, the car dealer who contacted her a while ago said to send the car for maintenance, and I stopped by to see if her mobile phone didn't work. β
Father Chu let out a majestic sigh slowly, although he didn't have a cold face, it still made people tremble. "I came back two days ago and said that I was going on a business trip, and I told her mother, and I don't know if I left. Why don't I call you and ask? β
Ji Hengdong had a bad premonition, and said goodbye to Father Chu with a smile on his face. "No, no, no, maybe on the plane, I'll contact her later."
On a business trip, what kind of business is it? The magazine has resigned, where can she go?
The cigarette butt was crushed on the ground by Ji Hengdong irritably, and his assistant behind him was hurrying out of the building with someone. "Mr. Ji, the chairman of the Song family asked the secretary to tell me, saying that his nephew is not here, but where is he...... He didn't know either. β
Ji Hengdong glanced at the assistant with a cold expression, and the smoky gray shirt and trousers looked even more precious on him. "He doesn't know either?"
The phone in his trouser pocket buzzed, and he stared at the assistant with a very threatening and intimidating gaze for a while before pulling it out to answer, "Hey? β
The sweet voice of the person in charge of the airline came through the microphone, "Hello Mr. Ji, I helped you check the exit record of the latest day, Miss Chu did take a flight to the United States yesterday morning and landed at Los Angeles International Airport in the afternoon local time." β
Bag! Only! Sincere! The girl is too bold!! Ji Hengdong angrily pinched the phone and sharpened his back molars, the assistant behind him and the people who brought him, look at me, I look at you, no one knows what the phone said. Ji Hengdong thought about countless results, but he didn't expect this girl to dare to go with a man he had known for a few months, and he didn't give him any chance to defend himself at all.
Chu is only wishing, Chu is only wishing...... It is said that the shortest spell in the world is a person's name, and those three words are undoubtedly the tight spell in Ji Hengdong's heart.
In the distance, Ji Hengdong's roaring sports car was like a wild horse that had broken off, speeding towards the airport. (83 Chinese Net.)
