Isabella pulled out the car and drove Liu Yun and Liu Xiaoyan to Manchester.

Manchester is the second most prosperous city in the UK, with a population of 510,000. It is the world's first industrialized city, and it is also an important transportation hub and commercial, financial, industrial and cultural center in the United Kingdom.

The biggest reason why Manchester is so well-known to Chinese people is not because of this. It's because they have two Premier League giants – Manchester United and Manchester City!

At the beginning, Sun Jihai, a famous Chinese football player, played for Manchester City. Admittedly, Manchester City at the time was only a mid-table team in the Premier League. However, countless Chinese fans fell in love with Manchester City because of Sun Jihai.

As for the Red Devils Manchester United, it can be said that everyone in China knows about it. In the 90s of the last century, the Red Devils' class of 92 once surprised English football. Under the leadership of the old lord Alex Ferguson, build the Manchester United dynasty!

Unfortunately, Manchester United's record has not been good in recent years. The teams that have received huge investments – Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham – are gradually stealing the limelight from Manchester United. At the end of the season, United finished sixth in the Premier League, narrowly qualifying for the Europa League.

In the new season, Manchester United are ambitious and want to improve on the decline of recent seasons. Dropped a big deal in the transfer market. £40 million for Nemanja Matic from Chelsea, £35 million for Victor Lindelof from black Benfica and 75 million for Romelu Lukaku。。。。。

In contrast, Manchester United paid little for Liu Yun's transfer. Although Liu Yun has a contract with Coventry, he was automatically terminated because the team entered League One and could not obtain a labor certificate for Liu Yun, and now Liu Yun is a free man.

Three days later, Liu Yun will officially sign a contract with Manchester United.

Until then, he and Isabella can take a good look at Manchester and get acquainted with the city.

Isabella drove Liu Yun and Liu Xiaoyan to a villa by the sea in Manchester, and in front of the villa, Isabella stopped the car.

It's a veritable mansion. Four-storey villas, all with floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The interior is elegantly decorated yet modern. The backyard of the villa has a separate garden and swimming pool. The villa is opposite the sea.

Isabella is usually very low-key, dressing like an ordinary middle-class English woman. Even if it is a car, it is an old Rover car.

However, Isabella, a rich widow, is worth tens of millions of pounds! This villa by the sea in Manchester alone is worth seven or eight million pounds.

Liu Xiaoyan walked around the house: "Wow, Aunt Isabella, this house is really big!" The bathroom is about the same size as my dad's house in Jingzhou! And the sea opposite! Ha! ”

Isabella hugged Liu Xiaoyan, the little princess of China: "My little princess, as long as you like, you can spend every holiday here." ”

Liu Yun stared through the glass window at the sea opposite.

Isabella asked Liu Yun, "Honey, what are you thinking?" ”

Liu Yun smiled at Isabella: "I'm thinking that people are like a fish in the sea." How much effort does a person have to put in in this life to survive in the vast ocean of the world? ”

Liu Yun's words reminded Liu Xiaoyan. When Liu Xiaoyan was young, Liu Yun often took her to fish in the reservoir on the outskirts of Jingzhou.

Liu Xiaoyan proposed: "Dad, Aunt Isabella, let's go fishing at the beach." ”

Isabella said, "Okay. I went to the third floor to get the keys to the yacht. Let's go fishing. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said in surprise: "Wow, Aunt Isabella, do you still have a yacht?" ”

Isabella nodded, smiling silently.

The three of them went to the dock by the sea and boarded one of the yachts.

It is a small yacht of 10 meters. Isabella took the lead as the captain of the yacht and sailed the yacht into the depths of the sea.

Liu Yun and his daughter took out a fishing rod, put on the bait, and threw the hook.

After a while, Liu Xiaoyan felt that the fish was hooked. She retracted the rod in a hurry, but the fish escaped from the hook.

Liu Yun patted her daughter's head: "Be patient after the fish is hooked." Don't just close the rod. You have to slip the fish first, and then close the rod when the fish is exhausted. ”

Liu Xiaoyan nodded. For more than an hour, Liu Xiaoyan harvested a few small fish.

Liu Yun's luck doesn't seem to be very good, and no fish have been baited.

Suddenly, the wind picked up at sea. Isabella is a veteran yacht driver. She shouted at Liu Yun: "The weather doesn't seem to be very good. Let's get ready to go home. ”

Liu Yun nodded, but felt a powerful force coming from the fishing rod.

Liu Yun knew in his heart that this was a big fish that had been hooked. He shouted at Isabella, "Wait 5 minutes before we get back." I think there's a big fish on the hook. ”

Liu Yun took out patience and slipped through the behemoth under the sea level over and over again.

Finally, he felt that the big guy's strength had been exhausted. Take-up, lift! It turned out to be a tuna weighing more than 10 pounds! Liu Xiaoyan hurriedly used a long pole net pocket to catch this big guy.

Liu Yun is very happy, in the Chinese tradition, catching a big fish is often a sign of good luck.

The yacht returned, and the three of them could be said to have returned with a full load.

Back home, Liu Yun finished processing the tuna. I went to a nearby supermarket with my girlfriend and daughter and bought some vegetables.

Then Liu Yun, the chef, went to the kitchen and got busy. "Butter tuna meat", "pan-fried tuna", "tuna sandwich", "tuna potato salad", "tuna head soup". Liu Yun's cooking skills can now be regarded as a combination of Chinese and Western.

The family sat happily together, tasting Liu Yun's craftsmanship.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening after eating, and Liu Xiaoyan, who was tired all day, returned to the room on the second floor that Isabella had prepared for her and fell asleep.

In the room on the first floor, Liu Yun stared at the night on the sea outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

Isabella hugged Liu Yun from behind: "Liu, you are becoming more and more like a philosopher. What are you thinking? ”

Liu Yun smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just feel very happy." ”

Isabella kissed Liu Yun: "I also feel very happy." ”

Liu Yun said something that caught Isabella off guard: "Since we all feel very happy, let's 。。。。。 Let's get married. ”

Isabella was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Liu, you。。。。。 Is this proposing to me? ”

Liu Yun nodded: "Sort of." ”

Isabella, a 43-year-old half-aged, had a girlish shyness on her face: "Propose... Don't even have a ring? ”

Liu Yun magically took out a box from his pocket, opened the box, and inside was a diamond ring.

It turned out that Liu Yun had premeditated. After the Coventry parade, he went to a jewellery store in the city centre to buy the ring.

Liu Yun held a diamond ring in his right hand: "Oh, by the way, with the British tradition of marriage proposals, am I going to kneel now?" ”

Elizabeth carefully instructed Liu Yun: "Yes, get down on one knee and say to me: Isabella, are you willing to marry me?" ”

Liu Yun knelt on one knee and held the ring in his right hand: "Isabella, are you willing to marry me?" ”

Isabella clutched her chest, her heart beating hard: "Yes." ”

After speaking, Isabel stretched out her hand, and Liu Yun put the ring on Isabella's hand.

Isabella said, "Okay, Liu, from today onwards, I am no longer your girlfriend, but your fiancée. ”

The two of them hugged each other.

It was late at night, and a strong wind was blowing on the sea.

On the third floor, Liu Yun's room was like the sea opposite tonight, with rough waves.
