City of Las Vegas. {UC e-book} professional mobile e-book e-book download ()
For this city, not only Chen Xu, it should be said that everyone has heard of the name for a long time.
There are countless well-known cities in the world, but Las Vegas must be the most unique gambling city, this city built on the desert attracts gamblers from all over the world with its unique charm, and there are countless people who get rich overnight and go bankrupt in an instant.
Guan Yi's home is here?
Chen Xu was very suspicious in his heart, but he didn't say it, because he could see that Guan Yi's expression was a little strange, and since she refused to say it, Chen Xu didn't force it to ask. However, the reason for coming back this time, Guan Yi said that she didn't know that she didn't know that she wouldn't come back for the New Year, but the housekeeper called her and asked her to rush back in a hurry, but she didn't say anything on the phone, Guan Yi had a hunch that something must have happened, so she hurriedly pulled Chen Xu back.
The moment he got off the plane, Chen Xu was really shocked, at the gate of the airport, a row of luxurious extended Rolls-Royces stopped there, hundreds of black suits stood at the door, and in front of them was Chen Xu's acquaintance, Guan Yi's black bodyguard Douglas, and there was another person who also knew, it was the last time he saw Guan Yi's father, he was with Guan Lao, Chen Xu remembered his surname Xie. Such a style is not common even in Las Vegas, if it weren't for knowing Douglas, Chen Xu would probably think that this group of guys was here to rob.
It's just that these people have a golden four-leaf clover badge on their chests.
Family coat of arms?
Chen Xu felt a little like a hillbilly entering the city, so he followed Guan Yi into the car in a daze.
After arriving at the car, Guan Yi gave Chen Xu an apologetic smile, she didn't expect that this battle would be so big, and asked Xie Zhan: "Uncle Xie, what is the matter this time?" In a hurry to call me back? There are so many people arranged, is there something wrong? What about my dad? β
Xie Zhan glanced at Chen Xu. There was some confusion in his eyes as to why the eldest lady had brought him back as well. But he didn't say it. Because he knew the young lady's temper. Since Chen Xu was brought. That means don't hide anything from him.
Xie Zhan groaned. said: "Actually, this matter is not a big deal. But it's not small...... The lord is going to get married. β
"What?!"
Guan Yi jumped up suddenly. Fortunately, Chen Xu pulled her in time. Otherwise, you'll hit the roof of the car. Guan Yi sat down. His face was gloomy: "What's the matter?" Why is my father suddenly going to marry ...... Want to marry me a stepmother? Which woman is it? β
Xie Zhan was a little embarrassed. Guan Yi's words obviously mean that the old man Guan is now unmarried. But there are many mistresses. And it is true...... Xie Zhan wiped his sweat. He whispered, "Yes." It's the stand-in of the lady's land. Miss Huang Xiusha. β
"What?!" Guan Yi jumped up again. Chen Xu didn't hold it this time. I literally hit my head on the roof of the car. The tears were about to fall. Chen Xu hurriedly reached out to rub her. But Guan Yi didn't care about the pain. Exclaimed: "How is it possible...... How can it be?! Who is Daddy looking for. You can find her, too! She was. She's my stand-in...... She's me. It's his daughter! β
Chen Xu looked ignorant, he didn't understand what was going on at all.
Guan Yi looked at Chen Xu with a confused expression, took a few deep breaths, and said, "Ah Xu, there are some things I haven't told you before...... Well, I was born in Las Vegas, but I grew up in San Francisco, my family...... Well, you should also know that my family is still a little wealthy, and my own conditions are not bad, so since I was a child, I don't know how many people have ulterior motives for me. β
Xie Zhan thought to himself beside him, Miss's words are really modest. The wealth of the steward is not only "some", it is not an exaggeration to call it a rich country! Such a net worth, as the first and only heir in the family, even if Guan Yi is a sow, there are a lot of people who will rush to ask for it, not to mention that Guan Yi himself is a beauty who has fallen into the country and the city?
"As the heir of the family, I can be regarded as the right child in some businesses, at least I can't be easily offended. But I didn't want to be perfunctory with them, so when I got to university, I secretly returned to China by myself, thinking about spending a few years leisurely...... But the butler's eldest lady can't go missing for no reason, so I found a girl who resembled me in seven points of appearance, and asked her to come and pretend to be me to study at Cambridge. β
Hearing this, Chen Xu really didn't know whether to say that she was naΓ―ve or what, and she didn't go to Cambridge to go to a school like Hexia University, which has never heard of a name in the world.
He trembled and couldn't help but say, "That yellow or something...... No, it's your stand-in, right?! β
Guan Yi's face was gloomy, because she lost her mother since she was a child, and her father's high status naturally has no shortage of women, but those women are all mistresses, not to mention any reputation, even the housekeeper's ancestral house is not qualified to enter!
Guan Yi thinks this is normal for her father to have other women, but if someone wants to replace her mother's position and become the housekeeper's mistress, Guan Yi will definitely not agree to this, not to mention, that person is still her stand-in, and the outside world thinks "Miss ELLEnn...... This, at least, can be regarded as half of his daughter?!
This practice...... How could Guan Yi accept it?!
Xie Zhan sighed and said, "Miss, the master actually has a hard time...... he looked like he wanted to say something, but finally gritted his teeth and said: "Since the death of his wife, the master has had a very bad life in the past twenty years." That's right, there are indeed many women in the master, but none of them can compare with the wife. All these years...... It's also bitter! β
Although he didn't say this clearly, Guan Yi and Chen Xu understood it. Men want women not only for physical needs, but also psychologically, some women can go to bed, but they can't say confidant, this is the difference between a mistress and a wife.
"Miss, I have been in the housekeeper for thirty years, and I have seen the acquaintance of my lord and my wife. Miss, do you know? You look so similar to your wife, and every time I see you, I think of my deceased wife......"
It's not strange that a daughter and mother look alike, but how smart is Guan Yi? Although she was sad when she mentioned her mother, she immediately reacted: "What do you mean...... Huang Xiusha is also very similar to my mother? β
"That's right!" Xie Zhan knew that his young lady had been extremely smart since she was a child, and said, "Not long ago, there was a little problem in the business. The Zhang family betrayed us, and the master was very angry and disappointed. You also know that the old man of the Zhang family and our old man have been friends since childhood, so the old man was sick at that time. β
"Huh? Why didn't you tell me? β
"At that time, the young lady was still in school, and the lord said not to alarm you, and he was not seriously ill." Xie Zhan said: "It was Christmas at that time, and Miss Huang came back from vacation...... As your stand-in for Miss, we also respect her. And Miss Huang is gentle and quiet, when she learned that the old man was sick, she took care of the old man personally. You also know that people are very fragile when they are sick, and when the old man is young, he is occasionally sick, and it is his wife who takes care of him. So ......"
"So Dad was tempted at the time? He's going to marry someone who is very much like his mother and very much like her daughter
A woman's mother who is in his twenties and is even two months younger than her daughter? β
Xie Zhan stopped talking, the so-called Qing official is difficult to cut off family affairs, and he can't intervene in this kind of matter at all.
Chen Xu scratched his head on the side, but he actually felt ...... It doesn't matter!
The old man Guan has been lonely for so many years, and now he continues to ...... It's unexpected, but it's also reasonable! As for the bride's age...... Ahem, that doesn't seem like a problem for rich people, does it? You see Professor Yang Zhenning, not only married, but also made the daughter of the family pregnant......
There's a good saying!
watched "The Condor Heroes" to know that age is not a problem;
After watching "Brokeback Mountain", I know that gender is not an issue;
After watching "King Kong", it is not a problem to know whether it is human or not;
After watching "The Love of People and Ghosts", I know that it is not a problem to live or not......
The old man has a second spring, it's nothing, but it's Guan Yi, you should be considerate of it, besides, the old man is not without a woman, but he has straightened one......
Of course, Chen Xu didn't dare to say this, he felt a loss in his heart! Which girl is the "main room", Chen Xu really can't make a decision......
Guan Yi's face was not depressed, although she had already thought of all kinds of keys, but everyone knew that it would not be like that when it was her turn. Guan Yi lost his mother since he was a child, and he regarded his mother as bigger than the sky, so it was really difficult to accept a woman as his stepmother...... Not to mention her stand-in!
"Isn't Dad already planning to make a wedding wine?"
"Well, I'm not in a hurry," Xie Zhan said embarrassedly: "After all, Miss Huang is still nominally your stand-in now, and I mean that when you come back to take over the family business after two and a half years after college, you will give Miss Huang a name." It's just ......"
"But what?"
"Hey, the master seems to really regard Miss Huang as his wife, and now the relationship with this young lady ...... Only some core members of the family know about this matter now, after all, in the eyes of outsiders, Miss Huang is you, so the master has the idea to reveal Miss Huang's identity. Of course, the master will not disobey the agreement and let you come back early, but this stand-in will be exempted. β
Guan Yi's expression was gloomy, she still couldn't accept this matter, and now she can't say what kind of stand-in or not-in-person problem, but it involves Guan Yi's mother's status, and even family ethics, how can she deal with it calmly? !
There was an oppressive silence in the carriage.
After a long time, Guan Yi said: "Then my father called me back this time just to tell me about this?" β
"Yes, I just want to ask your opinion, Miss...... It's not easy for the old man to be so old, I know there are some things I shouldn't say, but I still have to say it, miss, there are some things, look at it, you, just treat her as if she doesn't exist......"
Guan Yi was silent.
She naturally understood what Xie Zhan meant, but it was always difficult for her to accept it. In fact, Xie Zhan also meant that he knew that she was not acceptable, that is, he asked her to turn a blind eye. And Guan Yi also knows that his father has not continued in the past 20 years, and it is not that he has not met a good woman. Thinking about the wealth of the housekeeper, the demeanor of the old man, he has seen too many women of all kinds, but there has never been a chance to become the new hostess of the housekeeper, this time since the old man has made this decision, it means that it is absolutely impossible to change.
For such a big matter, it is natural to talk to Guan Yi, nominally to discuss, but in fact, what room for negotiation?
Xie Zhan knows this, Guan Yi knows, and even Chen Xu knows it.
The car drove to a stop in front of a splendid building, Chen Xu poked his head out, this building that seemed to be a palace had the words "heaven on earth" written in several words, and next to the signboard, there were four leaves
"This is a casino? It's so beautiful! Chen Xu's performance does not have the consciousness of a world-class rich, in his opinion, Las Vegas is most famous for gambling, so it is natural to think that this is a casino.
Guan Yi glanced at him: "No, this is just a hotel." Looking at Chen Xu's appearance, the corners of this woman's mouth finally curled: "Las Vegas started with gambling, so now many people think that this is a gambling city, and the meaning of coming to Las Vegas is gambling." But that's just a prejudice. It is true that since 19311, when the Nevada State Legislature passed a bill to legalize gambling, Las Vegas has become known as the 'City of Sin' as a gambling city, but gambling alone is not enough in this city built in the desert. In recent decades, Las Vegas' wealthy visionaries have set out to build the city into a diverse entertainment city. Nearly 40 million tourists come to Las Vegas every year, but only a few come specifically to gamble. β
After a pause, Guan Yi said: "Of course, our family also has a casino, if you want to see it, I will take you to see it later." β
Chen Xu was embarrassed, he always thought that Las Vegas was a pure casino, how did he know that there were such changes?
"This is your family's inheritance?"
Guan Yi smiled: "It's one." The family has seven such hotels in Las Vegas and five of the top casinos. Of course, there are many other businesses in the family, and these industries in Las Vegas are only a part. This woman didn't say that these industries are not a part, but a very small part!
It's just that what Guan Yi didn't say is that these Las Vegas casinos still have a very high status as housekeepers, because casinos have a very important role in money laundering.
Basically, no business in such a family can be completely seen, and even the income in the shadows is far higher than the income on the surface, and the role of the casino is to bleach these income in the shadows and turn it into legitimate income.
Arms and drugs?
No, no, no, those are really pediatrics, and with the strength of a housekeeper, that little money is no longer worth it. And the real shady transaction is to exchange money for power, or use power for money!
That's what matters!
Of course, Guan Yi won't tell Chen Xu about these things.
Because in Guan Yi's opinion, Chen Xu is still a good gentleman, and the dark side of these worlds should be let him know now, and don't let him be polluted. However, what even the woman herself didn't expect was that her man had been polluted......
In the darkness of this world, the two strongest forces are ready to "join forces......
β¦β¦β¦β¦
I'm really sorry, because of the recent series of events, Xiaoice simply fled, relaxed himself, walked around outside, and didn't contact anyone. I'm in a much better mood now, at least not like before, I don't have any thoughts at all, and I can't think about anything in my head.
Much better now, starting to slowly resume the update.
