MTL - America’s Treasure King-Chapter 31 at family gathering
The next day was Friday. After the auction in the warehouse, Li Xiaoshuai came back after two o'clock. He parked the pickup and rushed straight to Elaine's house in the same community.
Elaine's house is located in the central area of the community, while Li's house is in the deep corner of the community. Li's house is a bungalow, and Elaine's house is a two-story building, which can barely be regarded as a small villa.
Entering Elaine's house, the beauty is waiting. She was dressed in cool clothes, wearing a small vest and a pair of shorts, showing off a pair of slender and long white legs, with a pair of flip-flops under her feet.
Seeing Li Xiaoshuai, Elaine shouted and rushed over with open arms, hugged Ai Lang tightly, and took the initiative to send a kiss to condolences. stand up.
A princess hugged and directly carried Elaine to her bedroom.
Thus, a fierce fighting began. . . . . .
I don't know how long it took, but Elaine's mother knocked on the door: "Young man, please don't disturb the people, I still want to cook for you."
"I'm sorry, Auntie." Li Xiaoshuai looked at the time, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hmph, old antique." Although Elaine was a little dissatisfied, she got up and put on a pair of clothes to clean up the battlefield. Then, like a well-behaved kitten, she snuggled up beside her boyfriend and chatted. "My mother is too disappointed. I'll go to your house at night, let's continue."
After a while, there was the sound of a car engine downstairs, and then Elaine's mother Lisa shouted downstairs, saying that Daddy is back, you all come down.
The two adjusted their clothes and walked downstairs hand in hand.
Elaine's father, Henry Morris, 58, is a biology teacher in a private middle school. He is also Li Xiaoshuai's young couple and the teacher of Fatty Ron.
It is said that Mr. Henry was also a handsome man when he was young. This is evidenced by his marriage photo. It's a pity that he can't stand the devastation of the pig-killing knife of the years, and now he has become a standard middle-aged greasy uncle.
The bags under the eyes, the beer belly, and the hair began to go bald, and slowly it became a "Mediterranean."
Seeing Li Xiaoshuai as a proud student, Henry was very happy, and he said half-jokingly, "Young man, you look good today."
"Envy Mr. Henry, this is the vigor that our young people have."
Henry pretended to be angry and said, don't look down on middle-aged people, we were too young, I was more handsome than you back then, otherwise how could your aunt like me?
Elaine's mother Lisa was cooking and asked Li Xiaoshuai, "I heard that you picked up a Patek Philippe gold pocket watch yesterday?"
Henry was also taken aback, "Patek Philippe, or a gold pocket watch, is that a very expensive luxury?"
"Yes, I first checked it on the Internet, and tested it on the old master. It is absolutely authentic! I also picked up two boxes of unopened Cuban cigars, which I want to give to my esteemed Henry. teacher."
"Haha, this is my good student." Henry was very proud and immediately asked for it.
My mother-in-law ordered, bring it to me quickly.
Li Xiaoshuai said, wait a moment; I'll go back now to get it.
When he brought the cigar and the antique pocket watch, there were two more young people in Mr. Henry's family. They are Elaine's brother Sean-Morris, and his girlfriend Ji Li.
Sean, 26, graduated from Yale University and now works at Goldman Sachs on Wall Street. Dressing in and out is all high-end clothing.
The suit is custom-made, a set costing more than 20,000 US dollars, a white shirt, black tie, and a meticulous big Baotou, which is simply the style of Wall Street veterans.
In addition, the house in New Jersey does not live, but he has to pay a lot of money to rent a house in Midtown Manhattan, saying that only in this way can he reflect the style of Wall Street.
In fact, he is just a rookie now, a small clerk who specializes in attracting customers to come in for financial management. The amount of income is directly related to the funds he pulls in.
If there is no subsidy from the old couple in the family, he can't even make up the living expenses.
The eldest brother's girlfriend, Ji Li, and Li Xiaoshuai have only met her two or three times, and they have also met at Morris's family gatherings. I don't know her very well. I only know that she is a cosmetics salesperson in a large department store.
She looks pretty good, and she is also a stunner, especially her walking posture, which is full of indescribable charm.
However, in Li Xiaoshuai's opinion, this woman is a bit exaggerated and has a good taste; If she was not familiar, she thought this was the eldest lady from a wealthy family, which did not match her status as a salesperson at all.
Seeing Li Xiaoshuai entering the house, Sean also put on a big brother attitude: "Boy, I heard that you have started to do treasure hunting?"
"Yes, survival comes first."
Ji Li said, you are artistic, you shouldn't do this kind of garbage picking.
Li Xiaoshuai said with a smile, art cells also need to eat, just drink water, art cells will starve to death.
Henry also said, face the reality; down-to-earth is the most realistic.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little stiff, Lisa ordered that the meal was ready, and they all helped clear the table.
Because the hostess of Morris's family is of French descent, his family's gatherings are basically dominated by French dishes, and today is no exception.
There are lettuce salad, French grilled lamb chops, baked lobster, fried scallops, beef stew, cream of mushroom soup, French baguette as the main course, and of course French wine.
With delicious food and wine, and a warm atmosphere, Li Xiaoshuai felt that this meal was very much in line with his own taste. He ate several grilled lamb chops with spices.
Seeing that the atmosphere was suitable, Lisa asked Li Xiaoshuai to take out the famous watch for her to appreciate.
Famous watches, appreciation, these two words immediately excited Ji Li, she was even more enthusiastic than tasting food. "What brand, is it worth a lot?"
Elaine proudly introduced that it was Patek Philippe's gold pocket watch, or an antique grade.
Ji Li's eyes lit up, "Wow, that's great, show me now."
After saying that, he snatched the gold pocket watch that Li Xiaoshuai wanted to hand to his mother-in-law, and shouted in surprise, "Wow, it's still rose gold!"
Li Xiaoshuai could only smile apologetically at his mother-in-law.
"It's okay, let Ji Li take care of it first." Although he said it was okay, Li Xiaoshuai could see that Lisa's face was a little unhappy.
Henry and his son also wanted to see it, but unfortunately they could only glance at it from a distance. They all said that this watch had an extraordinary temperament and was a famous watch. They also said that Li Xiaoshuai was lucky, so it was impossible to say that such a rare treasure could be picked up.
Elaine said proudly, without even looking at who picked it up, it was my boyfriend!
Ji Li opened the watch cover again, and the dazzling diamond light made her even more excited: "Wow; it's still set with diamonds and rubies, it's a fine product!"
Elaine, who came from a family of teachers, has been well educated since she was a child. How could she tolerate such an absolutely rude behavior of robbing people from others?
She rested her head on Li Xiaoshuai's shoulder and said in a low, inaudible voice, "Look, Ji Li's saliva is about to flow out, how could she do this!"
