Chapter 2 What is your golden finger? My Dad!
The text message sent by the "gossip diva" exposed the detailed life story of Jamie Dutton, which was absolutely explosive news for the students of Stancons.
But for Serena, it was just a trivial matter.
Just as she closed her phone and was about to ring the doorbell.
The door opened on its own.
Rufus had just answered a phone call and opened the door, only to find a tall, beautiful blonde girl standing outside.
In particular, the beauty mole on the right side of the nose is particularly eye-catching.
The four looked at each other, and the two of them were stunned at the same time.
Rufus thought the blonde girl looked like someone he had known before.
Before he could think about it, a white man in FedEx overalls walked over with a heavy cardboard box.
"This is Jamie Dutton's package, can anyone sign for it?"
"I'll do it."
Rufus and Serena spoke at the same time.
After saying that, both of them looked at each other in surprise.
Of course, compared to Serena, who was only slightly stunned, the surprise in Rufus's eyes was obviously more than that.
He was now curious about Serena's relationship with Jamie.
"I'm Jamie's landlord, leave the stuff to me."
Rufus stepped forward to take the cardboard box.
Serena watched Rufus laboriously move the cardboard box into the room and put it on the dining table, and asked curiously:
"Do you know what's in the box?"
"Of course, I sign for a similar package almost every other week, and it's all natural mineral water from Jamie's hometown."
Rufus turned back and closed the door, turning to ask Serena, who had followed him into the house.
"You're a friend of Jamie's?"
Serena corrected as she looked at the loft apartment:
"Girlfriend."
Rufus's eyes widened in surprise.
"Really?"
Serena nodded very earnestly, staring intently at Rufus with a pair of beautiful dark blue eyes.
"You seem surprised that Jamie has a girlfriend?"
The subtext is actually asking, could it be that you have seen Jamie Dutton's other girlfriends?
Rufus hurriedly explained:
"No, no, I mean Jamie never told us anything about you."
"What about Caroline Channing? Did Jamie mention the name to you? ”
Rufus was stunned on the spot.
After some weighing, he decided to tell the truth.
"Do you mean the girl who kissed Jamie at this year's Constance prom? I heard it was just a beautiful prank, but it's true that Jamie was popular in school, after all, he was so handsome, he was always number one in his studies, and he was now a best-selling fiction author. ”
Under Serena's intriguing gaze, Rufus suddenly stopped.
"These are all things that my son and daughter, who also go to school at Stancons."
Serena nodded, and said Dan and Jenny's names accurately.
Rufus's last doubts were dispelled.
He warmly invited Serena to sit down at the table and poured her a glass of water.
"By the way, I don't even know your name yet."
"Serena vander Woodson."
Rufus froze again.
Serena looked alike the man he knew before, which could be said to be a coincidence, but even the surname was exactly the same, which made one wonder if there was really any connection between the two.
Before Rufus could figure it out, Serena offered to visit her boyfriend Jamie's bedroom.
Rufus led Serena to the second floor, where Jamie's bedroom was next door to Dan.
As soon as the door to Jamie's bedroom was opened, Dan stepped out of the next room.
Seeing Serena, the whole person stood in place as if she had been struck by lightning, her face full of shock and ecstasy.
After a year, the goddess who thinks about it reappears in front of her.
Before Dan could muster up the courage to greet Serena, Rufus's voice rang out first.
"Dan, this is Serena, Jamie's girlfriend."
These words exploded above Dan's head like a thunderbolt from the sky, and the smile on his face froze on the spot.
Serena offered to hand Dan.
"Hello, I've heard Jamie talk about you."
Dan felt like he was about to break down.
He went to school at Constance for five years, and finally the goddess knew about him, but he heard it from his good friend Jamie.
What makes Dan even more unacceptable.
Jamie only transferred to another school a year ago, how did he meet Serena and become the other party's boyfriend?!
Obviously, these two people don't have any intersection at all.
Rufus didn't see anything unusual about Dan.
He thought that his son was just like him, but he was shocked that Jamie had such a beautiful girlfriend, so he asked Dan to show Serena around Jamie's bedroom.
Rufus needs to go downstairs and be quiet to figure out what Serena has to do with his "old man".
The long-awaited opportunity to be alone with the goddess, but Dan was not happy at all.
Instead, Serena was the first to speak, took out her phone, and showed Dan the text message she had just received at the door.
"You got it too, didn't you?"
Dan pretended to shrug his shoulders calmly.
"Yes, that's a surprise, and I didn't expect Jamie's house to be—"
I thought that Serena had just learned about it, but I didn't expect the other party to interrupt before she finished speaking.
"I've only told me about Jamie's family, but now someone has preemptively told the news to the 'gossip queen', how do you think I should explain it to Jamie when I go back?"
Serena looked distressed.
Dan didn't expect that his whistleblower would cause so much trouble to the goddess, but he couldn't tell the goddess that he was the whistleblower, and he was very conflicted for a while.
"You can't be blamed for this, after all, Jamie is now the hottest best-selling novel writer in the United States, and it's not surprising that someone investigates his identity."
"I even doubt that the publisher deliberately exposed Jamie's identity in order to continue hyping up the popularity of his novel."
This is a statement that Dan has thought of a long time ago, but he didn't expect to use it on Serena first.
"Well, do you know where Jamie is now?"
Serena put down her phone and asked.
Dan asked rhetorically:
"You didn't call him before you got back to New York?"
Serena shrugged and said that she wanted to surprise Jamie, and did not tell the other person that she was coming.
Dan squeezed out a wry smile on his face.
This is the goddess he has had a crush on for five years, but now he has become the girlfriend of his best friend, and he can only stand in front of the other party and look sad.
"Yesterday Jamie received a check from the publisher and was going to buy a car today, I think it was a Ferrari or a Porsche or something."
Dan struggled to make his tone seem ordinary, knowing that this was the norm in the lives of a wealthy second generation on the Upper East Side like Serena.
Driving a sports car to school is normal for them.
Of course, not many people do this at Stancons High School.
Because these people have a special driver at home, they don't have to drive themselves at all.
This is also the reason why Dan rejected Rufus's offer to buy him a used car and insisted on taking the subway to school.
After all, the price of a subway is much more expensive than the luxury cars of those classmates in school.
At Serena's request, Dan pulls out his phone and prepares to call Jamie.
At the same time, he also promised Serena not to tell Jamie about her coming, and that he would have to make up another reason to trick Jamie into coming back.
Just as he was about to dial, a horn suddenly sounded outside the door.
Dan put down his phone and looked at Serena.
The person you were waiting for is back.
Serena turned and went downstairs and ran to open the door.
Behind him was a reluctant Dan.
and Rufus, who came out to see the excitement together.
"Jamie!"
Serena pushed open the door of Dan's house and sped towards her boyfriend, who had just gotten out of the car on the side of the road.
Jamie picked up Serena and spun around in place.
Serena wrapped her arms around her boyfriend's neck and hung on him like a sloth.
After a warm kiss, the two who had their foreheads touching each other reluctantly separated their bodies.
At the same time, across the street, a blonde girl filmed the scene with her mobile phone, pretending to be casual and turning away.
Rufus looked at the pair of young people in front of him with some envy, who were incomparably compatible regardless of height and appearance, and did not notice the lost look of his son next to him.
Seventeen-year-old Jamie has grown into a handsome black-haired guy with a height of 1.87 meters, deep eyebrows and eyes, and a resolute face.
It's been seven years since the car accident that caused both father and son to cross over.
Most of the time, Jamie considers himself lucky.
After all, it was his father who crossed with him, and in this world, the two are still father and son.
But once in a while, Jamie also feels lost.
The reason is that their father and son are not reborn and return to the past, but come to a parallel world composed of countless American dramas and movies.
Although the general world pattern and historical process have not changed, when it comes to the United States, where the father and son live, many people and things have become different.
For example, the presidents of the United States.
Except for the four on President Hill, most of the others have become extremely unfamiliar names.
There are also some high-tech companies, such as Microsoft, Apple, Google and other famous companies.
But Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have all changed.
If he hadn't seen a biographical movie called "Silicon Valley Legends", Jamie would have almost thought that the two goods had also crossed over.
At the same time, the identities of Jamie's father and son are also important characters in an American drama "Yellowstone".
As a well-known UP owner in the European and American film and television areas, Jamie has a lot of American dramas and movies, which made him once give birth to the inflated idea that he could teach his father to do things.
However, reality taught Jamie a hard lesson, telling him what it means to call your dad will always be your dad.
The golden finger that has been in Jamie's heart since the crossing did not appear in him, but in his father John.
This cheat is not an exaggerated system, it is just a portable space.
There is a spring inside that can be taken out into the real world.
John experimented with a dog for a few days and found that the dogs that had drunk the spring water seemed to be smarter and stronger.
Then he experimented with himself and found that the spring water did have the effect of improving physical fitness.
So Jamie also honorably joined the ranks of the guinea pigs.
After drinking the spring water for half a year, the father and son found that this play was not as magical as they imagined.
Long-term drinking can enhance physical fitness, remove various dark diseases of the body, and even delay the aging of the body.
But it is far from the exaggeration of opening the genetic lock and breaking through the evolutionary limits of the species.
Jamie somewhat regretted this.
John was very satisfied with the golden finger.
He quietly fed the spring water to the cattle and horses in the pasture, and after a while he found that the quality of the Angus beef in the pasture had skyrocketed.
And those horses have also been reborn in the direction of top racehorses.
This time, the golden finger was played by John.
By the time Jamie was thirteen years old, the Angus cattle produced in Yellowstone Ranch had beaten the proud Wagyu cattle in both meat quality and taste, and the breeding cost was only a fraction of that of Wagyu.
In just three years, the world's top beef market has been completely monopolized by Angus cattle produced in Yellowstone Ranch.
At the same time, the racehorses bred by Yellowstone Ranch have also shone in various horse races around the world.
The Yellowstone Horse has become synonymous with the world's top racehorses.
Every year, just by selling cattle and breeding racehorses, Yellowstone Ranch can net a few small goals.
Jamie has become a veritable rich second generation.
He also wants to struggle.
He also wants to fight.
But reality doesn't allow it!
