didn't wait for little Laura to catch the "private affair" of her best friend and boyfriend.

The next day, she was called back by the Bush family.

It's almost late December.

According to the time agreed by both the Bush family and the Smith family.

There are almost 10 days left before the big day of the two.

As a woman, she has to go back there and prepare.

What's more, it's almost late December now.

Students in many universities here in the U.S. have gone a lot. Those who remain in school are generally only really good students, and those graduate students who need to continue to improve.

Ordinary American college students have already been on vacation.

Little Laura left the day after Abel returned to New York and went back to Texas.

She didn't know that as soon as she left, her best friend also left the school.

It's just that she didn't go back to Hanguo, or go to live with her second sister Li Xuxian.

18 December 2001.

138 East 65th Street, Upper East Side, Manhattan, New York, is a historic building.

Built in 1900, this four-storey townhouse is a five-bedroom, six-bathroom interior with a property tax of $7,708 per month.

It is one of the new real estate companies, one of the investments in New York.

But now, it's one of the properties of many other new real estate companies.

became one of someone's new gold houses.

Little Laura left New York for a few hours.

Her good friend Li Xinyu took some clothes and luggage and lived here.

It was noon that day.

When Li Xinyu woke up when she opened her eyes in the still somewhat unfamiliar bedroom.

The little lady of the first chaebol of the Han Kingdom saw a white and unfamiliar ceiling.

"Hah-"

Li Xinyu sighed softly and sat up from Simmons.

The warm, comfortable and close-fitting velvet brocade quilt fell on her, revealing her beautiful body without a wisp.

In the past, Li Xinyu never liked to sleep with fruit.

But lately, as long as she rests with someone, she has to sleep.

Because that guy loves her baby so much.

If you put it on, you have to take it off anyway, so it's better not to wear it at all......

As always, Li Xinyu, like Abel's other women, didn't see him when she woke up.

Li Xinyu knew that he must have gone out again very early.

She is already a stranger to Abel, and she knows that her man is incredibly strong.

Even if he doesn't mean much about workaholics.

But because he has enough energy, he also has enough time to deal with work.

In the end, he is obviously not a workaholic, but he has achieved the workload of a workaholic.

On Simmons, Li Xinyu sat in a daze for a few minutes.

Wait for the blood oxygen to fill the hazy head again, and after he is completely awake.

Li Xinyu just got down from Simmons, and her beautiful eyes swept on the ground-

Sure enough, on the ground, I found the lampshade that had fallen off last night.

Forget it, lying on the carpet for a night, it may be dirty.

Li Xinyu went up and down Simmons, and in the cabinet next to her, she found a new set of special models, the high-end lampshade in Yin Lisabeth's back garden.

The reason why I wanted to use a special model was because her figure was very unconventional.

There is both the exaggerated quantity of white or black women, and the unique quality of Asian women. ….

As a result, she wants to dress comfortably.

can only let people customize special models for special people according to her special form.

Fortunately, whether it is the financial resources of the Li family or the financial resources of the man she is following now.

Customizing a comfortable and close-fitting lampshade is a common thing for her.

If this is replaced by a girl from an ordinary family, it will be long

If you become her figure.

In this regard, it is estimated that it will fall into a more distressing situation.

Get dressed and go to the bathroom to wash up.

Li Xinyu walked out of the master bedroom on the fourth floor.

This townhouse, on Manhattan's Upper East Side, was quoted by a real estate company for about $20 million.

It has a total of 4 floors, with an average of about 3,000 square feet per floor.

In other words, the first floor is about 300 square meters, and the four floors are about 1,300 square meters.

There are 4 floors on the whole floor, in addition to a huge master bedroom, there is only one master living room, and there is a large study.

Li Xinyu, who walked out of the door, saw the female bodyguard Kim Min-sun in the corridor outside.

Kim Min-sun is a woman in the Asian bodyguard who is part of the rock security, a special recruit.

Just look at the name to know that she is a Han countryman.

Since Li Xinyu is also from Hanguo, she was assigned as Li Xinyu's special bodyguard, the kind that is close.

Just like Doni next to Abel, Jane next to Yin Kana, Ginna next to Anne Hathaway, and Mary next to Jessica Alba, etc.

"Miss Li."

Seeing Li Xinyu come out, Kim Min-sun hurriedly greeted him in a respectful whisper.

These female bodyguards also call these women around Abel differently.

There are people who call Mrs., like Yin Kana, since she was pregnant, she likes bodyguards to call her Mrs.

It seems that in this way, she really became Abel's wife.

There are those called Miss, like Li Xinyu and Anne.

There are also those called ladies, like Li Fuzhen.

Abel didn't force it, what the female bodyguards called them was completely based on their hobbies and habits.

Li Xinyu's bodyguards here all call her Miss Li.

"Min-seon." Li Xinyu said directly in Korean, "Get me some food." They are all starving to death. Not...... It's almost noon."

"Okay. Miss, are you going to eat Korean food, or something else?"

"What kind of Korean food? Don't eat it, according to normal lunch standards." Li Xinyu said. "Let's go to the outdoor garden on the third floor for dinner."

The third floor of the villa, at the time of construction and design, was half vacated and was made out of a beautiful indoor sky garden.

There are some flowers and some low trees in it, and the arrangement is very beautiful, which is the Florentine style of Italy.

In New York, where snowstorms often occur, it is designed in the Florentine style where there is basically no snow.

It can only be said that rich people are good.

Li Xinyu likes this small courtyard in the sky very much, and wants to go there for lunch today.

"But it's snowing today." Kim Min Seon persuaded, "It's cold outside right now."

"Uh...... Then forget it." Li Xinyu said, "Eat directly in the restaurant."

The restaurant is also on the third floor.

The entire third floor of this townhouse has been turned into a functional area. ….

The restaurant, the small garden in the sky courtyard, the relaxation room, the medical room, etc., are all on this floor.

On the second floor is a part of the guest bedroom and a small living room.

On the ground floor is the large living room and sitting area.

Li Xinyu walked down from the fourth floor, and the restaurant on the third floor is spacious and comfortable, with high ceilings and excellent indoor lighting.

Outside the restaurant, in the private courtyard separated by thick insulated glass, even if it snows, you can still see the lush vegetation, and there are comfortable tables and chairs for lounging.

It is blocked by buildings, and there is no snow except for some wind and snow blowing in through the opening of the open design.

What's more, the snow last night was not heavy, but the temperature dropped relatively strongly.

This villa is in an excellent location with easy access to shopping and dining areas such as Central Park and Madison Avenue.

To go to these two places, it only takes ten minutes to walk.

On the third floor, Li Xinyu sat down for dinner

In the hall, the beautiful and huge Italian-Byzantine-style dining table is the main seat.

The Byzantine style is a style of Italian furniture, which can be regarded as furniture design in the early Renaissance.

It is known for its elegant, simple, solemn and majestic design, with pure lines and appropriate classical proportions.

The former owner of the house was either an Italian or a crazy lover of Italian style.

The decoration of the whole house is a fusion of various Italian styles.

Li Xinyu, who has always had a petty bourgeois atmosphere, was born in the chaebol but is a little young, and loves this tone the most.

She loved it here.

While waiting for the maid to prepare the food, Li Xinyu found a stack of newspapers next to her.

She knew that this should be her own man, who stopped by at breakfast in the morning.

Imagine this morning, when I was still asleep in Simmons.

His man came out of the room, leaving himself exhausted by the previous night.

I sat in this position and spent a fulfilling morning eating breakfast and reading the newspaper.

Subconsciously, Li Xinyu also picked up the newspaper, simulating what her own man might do in the morning.

She even pretended to read it, and the newspaper she picked up happened to be a copy of the Wall Street Journal, which was the headline of the day -

【Abel Smith and the Future】

I saw that in the title, there was the name of the man in my family.

Li Xinyu, who was originally just pretending to be a man and looking like a man, immediately read it with interest.

It's certainly not too easy to make the Wall Street Journal a front-page headline.

In this news report, although the headline uses Abel Smith.

But most of the news content in it is related to the "2001 New York Financiers Charity Christmas Cocktail Party" held yesterday at the Hilton Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.

The New York Financiers Charity Christmas Cocktail Party is a well-known gathering in New York and American financial circles.

It is said that in the early days, it was initiated by the Magun family.

Mainly invite the elites of the financial circle in New York or the United States to gather together for a meal and talk about their thoughts on the industry next year.

Decades of development.

This has become an ultra-small "Davos Forum" similar to that of the New York financial circle, and even the American financial circle. ….

However, as time passed, before and after the Morgun, Rockphil, etc. gradually came out.

This financier's cocktail party is also becoming more and more "civilian".

The guests involved in it have gradually changed from all financial elders to middle and high-level leaders on Wall Street.

Later, it even fell to the same level as other well-known social drinking parties in New York.

It's like the famous "Metropolis" cocktail party.

Most of the financial elders didn't come to participate.

The people who participated in this public reception were mainly middle-level and high-level people in the financial circle and people outside the circle.

However, due to the organizer of the cocktail party, some elders in the circle are still invited to participate every year.

These elders also attract a large number of financial elites to participate in the annual payment.

This makes the style of this drinking party barely maintained.

In addition, the cost of attendees is $6,500 per person, net of alcohol.

Everything else was donated as charitable donations, and the word "charity" in the reception was reflected here.

The $6,500 qualification is a lot of money no matter how you look at it.

But most of the time, tickets can sell very well, and sometimes there are even scalped tickets, and the price increases several times.

When this happens, it is generally the participation of the real top elders, which will have this effect.

Like this year, it was originally scheduled to be held on the evening of December 17 by "***".

The organizers of this reception are not fixed. Every few years, there is a new organizer.

Well-known local newspapers such as "Wall Street Journal", "***", "New York Post", "New York Daily News", etc., have been held.

Generally, no one grabs it, because if you can't invite the elders to participate, it is a bit thankless to hold this kind of drinking party.

In many cases, they will even lose money, at least they will lose some favors.

After all, it's not so easy to invite the elders to participate.

It turned out on the 16th.

This year's organizer, "***", suddenly announced that he would hand over the reception to the "New York Observer" to host.

Dilan, editor-in-chief of the New York Observer, quickly acknowledged the news and announced that it would be held at the Hilton Hotel on the evening of the 17th.

A total of 1,000 attendees, with other terms and conditions being the same as in previous receptions.

After noon on the 16th, the New York Observer announced on its official website the list of invitations to the organizers of this reception.

The name arrangement in the United States has always been based on the first letter of the name in the English alphabet.

So those who are interested will find out that the first person on this list is Abel Smith.

Abel is Abel in English, and the initials are A.

It's too normal to be in first place.

Then after the first guest, Abel Smith, the names of Warren Buffett and George Soros are also prominently among them.

Even more exaggerated, there are names like Leo Melamed, David Rene Rothschild, and Alan Greenspan.

Even names like David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgun appeared.

Almost after the news was announced.

This has always been the case. But many times it is regarded as a celebrity, an outsider, and a hot New York social drinking party on Wall Street and in the financial circle. ….

Its popularity and popularity have been infinitely elevated in an instant.

Almost to the point of a white house cocktail party.

From noon on the 16th to noon on the 17th.

In New York and even in the whole of the United States, I don't know how many people only need $6,500 to get this.

Now it's ten times higher, and you may not be able to get the quota for participating in the drinking party, and you will strive for it in four activities.

Yesterday morning and yesterday at noon.

Even Li Xinyu's side was called.

If you want to trouble her, get an invitation or two.

Li Xinyu was bold at that time and mentioned it to Abel.

Abel gave her 5 places.

This made Li Xinyu feel very happy, felt very face-saving, and felt that he was valued a lot.

Jean, who has always been very passive in that matter, rarely took the initiative last night.

And now Li Xinyu is reading the newspaper, the content reported in it.

It was a summary of the speeches of the elders who participated at the reception last night.

And the Wall Street Journal directly listed Abel's name at the top of the list, as a front-page headline.

It can only be said that in order to attract traffic and sales, these media all know whose names Americans like to see nowadays.

Li Xinyu read the whole story, and only noticed her boyfriend's speech at last night's drinking party, and she didn't bother to read the others.

The Wall Street Journal claimed that at this reception last night, Abel Smith was very optimistic about the development of China.

He said that he would support and urge the White House to give China the status of a permanent normal trading country.

This is a common statement on Wall Street and in the international financial community.

Because since the 90s, there have been too many Wall Street bigwigs who have said something similar.

The fact that capital has no borders is itself the best portrayal of Wall Street.

Huaxia can make money on Wall Street, and it can make money for capitalists.

That makes the capitalists, in

It would be too simple to say a few good words about China in the newspapers and the media.

But again, as long as it hinders one's own interests. The capitalists block and blockade certain countries in all aspects, and they also do not blink an eye.

The vast majority of the good things that capitalists say about certain countries are for the sake of profit.

The reverse is also true.

In addition to this, in this public reception, Abel also said that at least in the next few years, the real estate in the United States will be stable and good.

Li Xinyu, who was not very interested in these, browsed it cursoryly and put down the newspaper.

At this time, her lunch was delivered.

Li Xinyu started eating lunch, mainly organic vegetable salad, a small grilled steak, milk and eggs, and bread.

From vitamins to carbs and sugars, from high protein to certain fats, it all is included.

While maintaining the taste, it can be nutritionally complete.

It's the result of private nutritionists hired by the wealthy and top-notch private chefs.

After lunch, it was snowing outside.

Little Laura is not there, and she has no company. Li Xinyu didn't want to go out.

She decided to simply huddle at home, watch TV or read a book.

Upstairs, there is a very large and large study room with a collection of more than 2,000 books. ….

It is said that some of them are still unique books, and they are treasured by the original owners.

After the villa was bought by the new real estate, these lone books also became the selling point of the villa and were not taken away.

Li Xinyu went upstairs and looked for books to read in the study at random.

As a standard young girl, many times, she can spend a whole day like this.

Because I heard that many of the books in this collection are unique.

When Li Xinyu was looking for books inside, she tried to find these legendary solitary books.

Pick the ones that look older and have an older outer cover.

She searched and searched on the bookshelf, and found a thick, looking at it for some time, suspected to be a lonely book.

Li Xinyu took it out and found that it looked thick, but it was very light.

She flipped through it and saw that it wasn't a book, but a photo album that clearly looked like it had history.

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @

Someone.

Li Xuxian said again, then she came over to accompany Li Xinyu, the two sisters met for dinner, and they hadn't gotten together for more than two months.

After two days, if Li Xinyu does not return to Hanguo, Li Xuxian will go back by himself.

Of course, Li Xinyu could not refuse this little request from her sister.

What's more, she also wants to see her sister.

Just like Li Xuxian said, the two sisters, who have a good relationship, haven't seen each other for two months.

Then let's see it.

Li Xinyu agreed, reported the address, and asked the second sister to come over.

Such a beautiful house, she wanted her second sister to take a look at it.

After all, the second sister is the only designer in the family.

Costume designers, that's designers, too.

A new thought
