Chapter 642: Leisure and Wealth
"Go! is so unreliable, Xiao Wu is not the kind of shallow and cheesy woman you said who sold herself for money. Haisheng is very confident in this, "It's not that you don't know, there are many rich people among those who pursue Xiao Wu, and there are many people who use money to smash her, and she never pretends to be a fool." ”
"Those nouveau riche, can they compare with your wealthy family?" Roy pouted.
"Our relationship is based on character and sincerity, and there is never a family background." Haisheng said seriously.
"Okay, you are true love!" Roy raised his hands in surrender and said, "By the way, if your family doesn't accept Xiao Wu, have you ever thought about breaking up with your family for true love like in the movie?" He smiled and said, "Anyway, you're not one of those unweaned Prince Charming in the movie, and you can still mix when you come out." ”
"No, I never thought about breaking up with my family." Haisheng said cautiously, "My parents are the ones who brought me into this world, and their intentions are good...... Together, we try to make our family accept us. ”
"Then it will take until the Year of the Monkey?" Roy looked at him worriedly.
"So what else can I do? Fight like you said! Hai Sheng said with drunken eyes.
It's a topic that can't be solved right now, and you can't know where to go until the bomb goes off, so Roy says, "Then you can go home now!" ”
"Go home, no!" Hai Sheng shook his index finger and said, "I have to be forced to marry when I go home, and I have decided to live in your house for the rest of my life." As soon as he finished speaking, he slipped out onto the carpet and snored.
"Hey! Feed! Are you enough? How happy am I living here? Roy kicked him angrily, and he was answered by a louder snort.
Roy dragged him in resignation. Throwing Hai Sheng on the bed, he dragged his shoes and said, "I must have owed you in my last life." "Cover with a quilt. I turned off the lights and closed the door.
Unable to play at home, Roy changes into his outing clothes, grabs his keys, and goes out to have fun.

Los Angeles International Airport, late afternoon.
"Big brother!" Gu Yaluo was like a little bird, and flew to Gu Zhanshuo who came to pick up the plane.
"My snails are getting more and more beautiful." Gu Zhanshuo rubbed the fine hair on the top of her head and said. "It seems that Lucifer has not treated you badly."
"What my uncle said, Luo'er is my wife, I don't hurt anyone!" Lucifer stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Yaluo back to his side and said.
Gu Yaluo frowned and glared at Lucifer. This vinegar is also eaten! It's really speechless.
"Alright, stop making a fuss! Let's go home first. Lu Jiangdan said loudly, "It's not too tiring to take a plane!" ”
The twin brothers pulled Lu Jiangdan's arm and pulled the suitcase out of the airport, and Gu Zhanshuo drove to Beverly Hills.
"Zhanshuo has learned to drive." Lu Jiangdan's eyes lit up.
"It's a big place. Easy to have a car. The car is cheap. Gu Zhanshuo said with a smile.
"Big brother, why did you sell a used car." Gu Yaluo said with some surprise.
"That's good, I'm a college student, the car I drive is too good, it's too eye-catching, I'm here to study." Gu Zhanshuo said with a smile.
"That's good, the car is so good, that's a thief! Away from home. If you are not familiar with the place, safety first. Lu Jiangdan nodded and said in relief.
"Unfamiliar?" Lucifer raised an eyebrow and chuckled. He glanced at Gu Yaluo, he was too familiar here.
As he spoke, the car drove into the gate of the villa, and after about ten minutes, it stopped.
"Let's go take a shower and get something to eat. Then rest, and tomorrow we will go to Zhanshuo's school first. Lu Jiangdan said.
"Good!" The four of them answered in unison.
The servant took them back to their rooms.
After dinner, it was not dark yet, and several people did not feel sleepy, so they went out for a walk.
Walking in Beverly, fashion stores, cafes, and international restaurants abound, and there is less of the hustle and bustle of New York, and more of an idle interest.
But the lavish life of Hollywood movies is staged here 24 hours a day.
"The people here are really leisurely, and the people of Xiangjiang are really in a hurry, and the busy breakfast is really too big a gap!" Gu Zhanshuo pursed his lips and said.
Gu Yaluo's clean and clear eyes slid over a streamer, and said with a slight smile, "The reason why the Beverly people are leisurely is inseparable from the wealth here. This small city with a resident population of only 40,000 is the most expensive city in the United States, and even the local public library issues a library card independently of the Los Angeles library system. ”
"The pleasant climate and the laid-back rhythm attract wealthy people from all over the United States to settle here," Lucifer chimed in. At 10 p.m., at the bar of the Polo Lounge, where celebrities frequent, guests come from prominent backgrounds, either owning a large fund, running a film company, or running a real estate and insurance company.
Being your own boss gives Beverleys more time and freedom. 9 to 5 is not the rule of the game here, 'three days of retreat and two days of sunshine' is the philosophy of survival here. ”
"Hmmm! Even business meetings are held by the hotel's pool. It's really going to be enjoyable. Lu Jiangdan then said, "If you don't have enough wealth, you can't do this." ”
"Not to mention that there are no more than three generations of wealth, but there are also many people who are rich for one generation. Being in Vanity Fair, too much materialism, greed, and a corrupt life, it is easy to wear out a person's ambitions. Gu Zhanyan frowned lightly and said.
"Why do you wear silk and satin, and in your previous life, you gave clothes to the poor." Gu Yaluo said suddenly and inexplicably.
Lucifer took her hand and rubbed it, "There is food and clothing, why is there tea and rice in the previous life. ”
"Why is there no food or clothing, I won't have half a penny in my previous life." Lu Jiangdan looked at them and said, "To be a man, you must respect heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, the mountains and rivers, the grass, the trees, the insects, the fish, the sand, the stone, all the books, even the textbooks, and even the things, all of which are spiritual." You respect it, it makes you and helps you everywhere. It's like finding your own confidant, we Buddhists say a word fate, feng shui is also fate, how do we feel when we meet our sweetheart? -- Special spirit, as the saying goes, is that the eighty old lady thinks that she is eighteen, and the old man can also write poetry, this is called the finishing touch, the soul is alive, and it is the same. ”
"But I've always felt that it's better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. Emergencies are not poor. Lu Jiangdan's warm voice came.
"So my mom thinks it's better to do the truth and provide job opportunities than to go to some charity dinner to make a name for yourself." Gu Zhanyan said with a smile.

Looking at the wandering warblers on the street casually soliciting customers, Lucifer looked at them and said, "These are registered actors." ”
"Ahh Gu Zhanyan said incredulously, "Why? ”
"No why? The competition in Hollywood is brutal. Lucifer said indifferently.
"Wealth is for happiness, not happiness for wealth. Wrong values lead to a tragic life, drifting away, and there is no turning back. Gu Zhanyan disagreed.
"One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and then I look back on it for a hundred years." Gu Zhanshuo shook his head and sighed.
As said in "The Siege": "This timer that is outdated in time unintentionally contains irony and sadness about life, deeper than all words and all laughter." Gu Yaluo's voice was slightly cold, without the slightest undulation.
"Don't talk about that, individuals have their own fate." Lu Jiangdan looked at the sky and said, "Let's go!" I should be sleepy when I get home! ”
A few people strolled home in a relaxed and comfortable way.
After arriving home, Lucifer was blocked into the study by Luo Guoliang and Powers, and the others went back to their rooms.
Lucifer was not put back until late at night, looking at Gu Yaluo, who was meditating, and honestly sat beside her and entered the meditation.
In the next few days, Lucifer went into a state of work, who let him in for half a year of serious irregularity.
And Lu Jiangdan accompanied the three children to Gu Zhanshuo's school to have a look and feel the academic atmosphere. Take Gu Zhanyan to take a good tour of Los Angeles.
When you come to California, you can't miss the sunshine. The blue sky, the blue sea, and the pigeon everywhere, the low houses and garden-like courtyards, well, the delicious pizza, the addiction to sashimi, and the crab big enough......
After touring the natural scenery, I went out shopping, and the studio of Lu Jiangdan's LY, a famous brand street, is also located on this street. It is a collection of world-class brands, especially new products. From LA and Prada to Tiffany and Rolex.
If you're tired of buying top brands, check out the boutique hourwear stores that locals frequent, which are affordable and stylish.
When I was shopping, I also met Hollywood stars, but unfortunately Gu Yaluo and they were not fanatical fans, so they didn't watch and take pictures and ask for autographs. Celebrities are two different things in and out of the play, maybe they like the roles they play very much, and as a fan, you have to learn to 'play'.
Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard runs from downtown Los Angeles in the east and into the Pacific Ocean in the west. She is an important nerve in Los Angeles, with poverty and luxury, decline and ostentation, and she is crowded and bustling day and night.
The Sunset Boulevard is particularly crowded with giant commercials, and the Oscar competition is flooded around Christmas. Vodka commercials, women, spirits, dazzling colors, eternal temptation.
The only unique bookstore that still exists, called BookSoupBookStore. Now that you've seen all of Beverly's rampant materialism, you can come here to get a glimpse of what's going on in the minds of Beverly people.
The bookstore building is a wooden structure, with books piled up to the roof and a ladder with pulleys available. Books on economics, philosophy, history, popular fiction, and more all occupy prominent booths. Beverly's residents are not mediocre in their thinking.
Hidden next door to the book soup house is an even more interesting bookstore, the Mysterious Wharf. It is hidden at the end of a small alley and requires several stone steps to reach. Only the first edition of the book is sold, and it is a veritable antiquarian bookstore. (To be continued.) )
