Chapter 498: Sending the Panda
In the afternoon, Zhen Fan was going to Annie's house, he called Annie first, and then when he went out, Julia was going to go with her, and she was also going to see Claire, who hadn't been there for a long time, and missed the little guy a little.
When I just knocked on the door, I could hear a faint voice coming from inside, it was Claire's voice, and she seemed to be shouting: "Uncle Zhen is here!" Then the door opened, and I saw a small figure pounce into Zhen Fan's arms, and then after Zhen Fan saved her, he hugged Zhen Fan's neck.
"Hey, Zhen, Julia!" Anne stood in the doorway, let the two in, and sat down in the living room. The room is not big, but it is beautifully furnished. Julia placed a large cardboard box aside in the living room. When Claire sat down on Zhen Fan, she obediently lay down, then knelt on the sofa, leaned on Zhen Fan's shoulder and whispered, "Uncle Zhen, I miss you very much!" β
"Really? Uncle Zhen misses Claire a lot, too. Zhen Fan said and hugged Claire to his lap, and the little girl's ass twisted around on Zhen Fan's lap, and then looked behind Zhen Fan, and when she found that there was nothing, she looked a little disappointed, a little aggrieved, and her mouth was flat.
"Claire, what are you doing?" Anne couldn't help but scold.
Claire hugged Zhen Fan's neck aggrievedly, Zhen Fan didn't know what to do, just looked at Anne and smiled, waved his hand at her, signaling her to leave Claire alone, while holding Claire, touching her little head, and laughing: "Is Claire very disappointed?" Because Uncle Zhen's gift didn't brought? β
"Ahh looked at Zhen Fan in surprise, "Why does Uncle Zhen know what Claire thinks in her heart?" β
"Haha-" Anne and Julia both laughed. Then Julia touched Claire's head and smiled at her and said, "How could your Uncle Zhen forget this?" Come on, here it is! Julia said, walking over to the large cardboard box, crouching down, and waving to Claire.
"I knewβ" Claire chuckled. Then he kissed Zhen Fan's cheek hard, jumped over, and then squatted down as well. With her elbows resting on her knees and her chin in her hands, she watched as Julia unwrapped the cardboard box.
"Ahh Claire screamed suddenly, and waited for Julia to pick up the panda. When he was handed it to her arms. The panda was taller than her, no wonder she had to use such a big cardboard box, Claire held it, and could only tiptoe, and the whole little person was about to fall into the fluffy panda.
"It's ...... A little gift from me! Zhen Fan looked at Claire awkwardly moving the giant panda funny, it seemed that he had really bought a little bigger, and then handed over a good-looking jade bracelet, "When I'm fine." There are a few carvings, and they are not very valuable. It is the usual Solo-Roman jade, which is more common in California. β
Anne nodded, did not refuse, but did not put it on immediately, but carefully put it aside, and watched Claire next to her clumsily try to put the panda on the sofa, and couldn't help but shake her head and smile.
"You're going to spoil her!"
"No, Mom, Uncle Zhen will spoil you too!"
Claire didn't cling to it, she looked at the jade bracelet next to Anne, couldn't help but wrinkle her nose, and then smiled at Zhen Fan, and finally pushed the panda onto the sofa, leaning on the sofa, humming very contentedly, as if she had completed a great thing.
"Here's your ticket, go see the game with Claire!" Zhen Fan took out the two tickets and handed them to Annie, "At eight o'clock in the evening, we can go early, I have never been to the game to watch the NBA game in person, and now ...... I've got my wish come true, and I want to walk around! β
"Okay, let's make an appointment, seven, I'll be at Staples Arena on time at seven!" Anne nodded, "Well, I got to know that Ms. Jenkins. Very nice person, she learns much faster than me! I heard that you and she have known each other for a long time, and are still friends? β
"Yes, that's right!" Zhen Fan told Anne about the process of getting to know Helena.
After sitting for a while, Zhen Fan said goodbye, Claire was a little reluctant, and when she went out, she was still lying on Zhen Fan's shoulder, and Zhen Fan held him, but he refused to come down, and even threw aside the panda that had been playing.
"Alright, Claire!" Zhen Fan put Claire down, squatted down and said to her, "If you want, you can go to my place with your mother, you know, and Olivia can swim with you." β
"Mom?" Claire tugged at the corner of Anne's skirt and looked up at Anne pitifully.
"Of course, we can go there, but ...... Now we have to send Zhen away, and we're going to watch the game together tonight, aren't we? Anne touched Claire's head and smiled apologetically at Zhen Fan.
"No, what I'm saying is true, let's go when we have time, we're friends, aren't we?" Zhen Fan and Anne hugged lightly, and then raised Claire's face vigorously, "Goodbye, Anne, goodbye, Claire!" β
"Okay, I'll see you later, Uncle Zhen!" Claire waved her hand reluctantly.
When she came out of the community, Julia looked at Zhen Fan with some playfulness and said with a smile: "I really should let you be Claire's godfather." It's a pity you missed the time! β
"Godfather? I see, it's gangster, right? β
"I doubt you're an American!" Julia said angrily.
"Well, I'm not there yet, I'm just holding a green card." Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders, "I know what it means, do you want your future child to have a godfather?" You can book first, I'm pretty good! Consider me! β
"Forget it, I don't want to have a baby early, and...... Are you going to introduce me to a boyfriend? Julia looked at Zhen Fan with a smile.
"Oh, this can't be, you're so beautiful, and so smart, you can't have a boyfriend!" Zhen Fan pretended to be surprised and slapped his forehead, "You don't have to lie to me, I know you must be very popular in your school!" β
"You forget, I've graduated, and ...... I haven't found a suitable boyfriend for me, maybe my vision is too high, it's not easy to find the right one, I don't want to be so-so and just want to find a man to live some boring days casually. β
"You're so picky! Zoe is so much better than you! β
"Zoe is lucky, she's so much luckier than me!" Julia snorted, then stopped talking, and the two of them drove away, and Julia went to her friend's house, holding the ticket to meet Zhen Fan near the arena in the evening. Zhen Fan went home directly and arranged dinner early.
At seven o'clock in the evening, a large crowd arrived outside Staples Arena, the venue for the game in downtown Los Angeles. Huge portraits of the Lakers' three all-time centers, Chamberlain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and O'Neal, hang upstairs. Lance looked at the three men with some envy.
Julia and some young friends came over, a man and three women, the man looked young, thin and tall, but a little shy, but the other two female companions were not cheerful, and they never stopped chattering
"I like O'Neal, simple and rough is the highest level of basketball!" Lance preached his basketball philosophy, which was apparently not well received by everyone, but was ridiculed by Julia.
"Hey, you're Zhen? I've heard Julia talk about you many times, my name is Nancy! A tall, wheat-skinned beauty beside Julia walked over, hugged Zhen Fan and said, winked at Julia, retreated to those women with a smile, and whispered, "It's a strong feeling, I can feel his pectoralis major muscles and his heart beating strongly!" β
"Nancy!" Julia yelled at her dissatisfied.
"Well, it's my fault, I found the treasure, and then I sued you, go, Eva, you can feel it too, it's very exciting!" The beautiful woman named Nancy nudged another fair-skinned girl next to Julia, who seemed to be of Russian descent.
"Hello, nice to meet you!" Eva still greeted Zhen Fan in the past, hugged gently, and then had a pure smile on her face, so that Zhen Fan couldn't help but admire, Russia really has these fair-skinned beauties, but now the whole of Europe and the United States is beautiful with wheat-colored skin, and it seems that the angle of appreciation is very different from that of the Orientals.
"Nancy, if you encourage her again, Wiig should be angry." Julia joked, making the shy boy next to her even more embarrassed.
The Wiig she was talking about was the boy.
"Okay, beauties, don't any of you want to know me?" Lance finally couldn't help it at this time, coughed dryly, and then walked to Zhen Fan's side and said to those beauties.
"Well, this is Mr. Lance Mitchell, well, a security guard in Zhen's vineyard!" Julia coughed dryly, then introduced herself to the two beauties.
"No, no, it's the deputy head of the security department!" Lance corrected and said, "The annual salary is 150,000 dollars!" β
"I know, I know!" The beautiful woman named Nancy couldn't help but laugh, "Is the annual salary proportional to the age?" I knew you had to be a high-paid person! β
"Hey, Uncle Zhen!" A little girl in the distance waved at Zhen Fan, it was Claire, this little guy had very thief eyes, and he saw where Zhen Fan and them were at a glance, followed by Annie, she kept reminding Claire to run slower, and now the people are finally here.
Zhen Fan looked at his watch, the time was almost up, so he waited for Claire to come over, picked her up, and then beckoned everyone to walk towards the entrance of the arena. (To be continued......)
