Chapter 71: Good as Flowing
A plan has been hatched in Bai Xinrui's clever and cunning little head, and she is ready to take William on an unforgettable vacation in his long-lost mansion in New York's Manhattan, and play the lively city of New York.
Bai Xinrui's plan is still very meticulous, in order not to distract her mother, who is in full swing with the junior in China, the first thing she did was to unbind her mother's credit card consumption record from the associated mobile phone.
In this way, every time she swipes the card somewhere, the information will not be displayed on her mother's mobile phone terminal through the WeChat platform or mobile phone text message at any time, and her mother will naturally not be able to grasp where she went and how much money she spent.
It wasn't too difficult for her, pretending to be her mother's voice to call the bank and reporting the identity verification information she already knew, and it took less than three minutes to get everything done.
The first thing she did after unbinding was to buy her and William's first-class tickets to New York online.
At noon the day before the official start of spring break, Bai Xinrui did not greet Aunt Yun or alarm her driver, but left the school with William alone, took an Uber and went straight to Logan Airport, embarking on a journey to let herself go.
Walking hand in hand with William in the wide hall of the airport, Bai Xinrui was like a bird that escaped from the cage and flew into the sky in a good mood.
Wherever she goes, she will take intimate selfies with William, and in order to prevent her mother from finding out when she posts Moments and Face Book, she has already blocked her mother.
In the evening, the two arrived at the New York airport and drove back to Bai Xinrui's mansion on Lexington Avenue in Manhattan.
The gentlemanly old butler, dressed in a black suit, opened the door for them.
Standing at the door, William was stunned by the grandeur of this mansion.
In the large foyer, two curved white marble staircases lead up to the second floor, giving a preemptive grandeur, and in the hall surrounded by staircases, the expensive blue marble on the floor shimmers with golden light from the texture.
In the center of the hall is an oval-shaped entrance table, a heavy jade table held up by four winged golden beasts, and a gilded statue of Shakyamuni is placed on the table.
More than 10 meters high, the ceiling hangs a string of luxurious baroque crystal tassels, and the light flows from the crystal tassels, shining on the Buddha's golden robe, dazzling the Buddha's golden robe.
Entering the door, Bai Xinrui had just kicked off the stiletto leather shoes on her feet, and a maid who was already waiting at the door neatly took a pair of purple soft silk slippers and squatted on the ground to put them on for her.
Bai Xinrui walked in from the entrance, and the well-dressed butler leaned forward slightly, his hands folded on his lower abdomen, and followed her closely behind her.
After not seeing William follow for a long time, she stopped and turned back to urge: "Hey, why are you stunned, come in!" ”
William came to his senses, nodded politely to the butler and servant, said good evening, and then dragged the suitcase into the empty hall.
Listen intently, and there is an unexpected silence in the mansion.
Looking around, looking through the extended space between the two white marble Roman columns in the middle of the foyer, is a carved oak door with a solid bronze statue more than one person tall on each side of the door.
This is what is known as the Upper East Core of New York?
At this time, three women in one uniform walked out of the corner of the hall, and after politely greeting Bai Xinrui, they took the luggage of the two from William's hands and went upstairs silently.
The museum-wide entrance hall is lonely and empty, and there is no practical use except for a golden Buddha statue, which seems to be just a huge waste of space.
William estimated in his heart how many people lived in this house and the price of the house, and he didn't dare to speculate for a while.
The housekeeper didn't feel very strange when he saw Bai Xinrui coming with a noble and handsome young man.
The old housekeeper remembered that at the end of last year, Madame and Mademoiselle had brought a sturdy young man with freckles on his face to visit Xiaozhu, and before that, Mademoiselle had invited her friends and girlfriends from China to party here more than once.
Bai Xinrui skillfully instructed the servant to arrange a guest room for William, and instructed the housekeeper to keep her whereabouts strictly secret, although her voice was not high, but it was quite intimidating, which was very different from the delicate and lovely style she usually showed.
William and Bai Xinrui discussed on the plane that they would go to the famous Mager Theater on Broadway tonight to watch a performance, and the two went back to their rooms to rest for a while, and then set off to play outside.
They went to buy tickets for "The Phantom of the Opera" that night, and seeing that it was still early, Bai Xinrui suggested going to a delicious restaurant nearby to eat.
According to Bai Xinrui's instructions, William parked his car near a street not far from Central Park.
He looked around the bustling streets and thought to himself that a meal in New York's famous business district must be expensive.
Per Se isn't a French restaurant with a very eye-catching sign, but it's a restaurant that Bai Xinrui can't miss every time she comes to New York.
When she took William's arm and walked into the famous Michelin-starred French restaurant again, she couldn't help but feel secretly proud.
The restaurant has only fifteen tables to eat, and the average guest needs to book a table at least a month in advance. Unexpectedly, in the name of her father, she did everything effortlessly.
A boy like William, who came from a civilian family, probably couldn't understand why being able to book a seat at a popular restaurant in a short period of time could become a symbol of some kind of measure of power, but she didn't care.
For her, it's not what she eats, it's who she eats with.
The post-modern style of the restaurant is noble and simple, and it is unusually low-key in the ultimate exquisiteness, which is precisely a kind of luxury and sophistication that penetrates the bone marrow and is born from the daily details and small details.
As soon as the two sat down, Bai Xinrui quietly took out her other mobile phone, stood in an inconspicuous position on the table, and opened a live broadcast platform.
The tall waiter walked over with the menu and drink list, Bai Xinrui pushed the menu down in front of William, but she didn't look at it, and said casually: "I want a chef's special selection every day." ”
It was the first time for William to see such a complex and detailed menu, and he tried to choose a decent menu from the many categories, but each one seemed to have a bit of a doorway, and the price was staggeringly high.
Born in rural Texas, William, although he has studied and lived in a private high school in Connecticut for a long time and has seen many luxurious establishments, he still seems a little cramped to be brought into such a luxurious restaurant to eat.
He looked up uneasily, and saw something meaningful in the waiter's smiling face, so he casually pointed to the first dish on the main course menu and mechanically read the name of the dish: "Polar deep-sea cod with ......"
"Don't you need appetizers and desserts, sir?" Although the waiter's tone was calm, William felt a strong hostility in it, which was obviously a provocation and contempt for the newcomer.
"Honey, don't you love a full meal of seafood here? I'm going to see a show later, so if you don't mind, let's eat as much as you like and try the chef's new dishes next time. As she spoke, Bai Xinrui gently served the menu for William, pretending to glance at the waiter with a look of arrogance.
William nodded kindly, a pair of amber eyes looked at the little Chinese girl in front of him, she had an almost perfect oriental face, long eyelashes, big eyes, and a cocked nose, she was only thirteen years old, but she showed everyone's beautiful demeanor in her gestures.
As soon as the waiter turned to leave, William lowered his voice and said, "Stella, thank you for arranging such a good spring break trip, I will start looking for an internship as soon as I am a freshman, and when the time comes, I will take you on a trip to Europe." ”
The smile on the corner of Bai Xinrui's mouth became thicker little by little, and she supported her with one hand, and the sweetness overflowed from her eyes little by little, and the fire on the silver candlestick complemented each other, and the bright color was eye-catching, which made William's heart ripple a little.
She doesn't mind traveling to Europe, where she hasn't been since she was a child? Traveling anywhere is no longer something she can look forward to.
The real reason why she was happy was that at this moment, from the eyes of the boy opposite, she could feel that what he was saying was by no means a sweet talk of vanity and grievances, let alone a deliberate flattery, but a genuine willingness to spend his heart and effort for their hard-won relationship.
In Bai Xinrui's life in the past thirteen years, the so-called boyfriends in the past were all sent to the door by herself, but William was the lover she was looking for, and she must hold his true heart firmly in her hands.
In a matter of moments, the waiter served each of the two young guests a white porcelain plate, a large round plate dotted with only a finger-sized piece of golden soft fried tempura, a tiny glass bottle of green and white gazpacho, and a small piece of tuna sashimi with avocado.
"This is the chef's entertainment, please use it slowly, I wish you two good appetites." The waiter said, respectfully placing the plate on the snow-white tablecloth.
Bai Xinrui immediately took out her mobile phone to take pictures, and then, like a bird, she tasted a small bite of the best-selling dishes on the plate one by one.
The waiter is obviously well-trained, and each dish is served ceremoniously at the right time and temperature for them to be saved, not one step earlier, not one step later, like love.
Lobster, pigeon, oysters, lamb chops, foie gras...... Although the dishes on the plate are too few to fill, the taste and presentation are both fascinating and poetic.
