1577: A Family Portrait (3 More)
Xia Xiaolan couldn't help but glance at Daniel.
Daniel pretended to be relaxed, "Why, is that Faen testing whether you can be his sister's boyfriend? I have never seen someone as nervous about his sister as he is. With Faen there, there would be no party at last night's party. It's impossible for Tina to find a boyfriend by any means."
Matthew screamed:
"How is that possible! Tina is my client, I have basic professional ethics, and can grasp the relationship with the client! He asked not me, but Xia, so I said it was strange!"
"Oh, what did he ask me?"
Xia Xiaolan clasped her hands together, turned her head to look back at Matthew, and seemed to be very interested in Fine.
"It's about your stay in Cornell, where you live, and your family situation in China... Dude, don't look at me like that. I don't know about your situation, okay? Even if I did, I wouldn't tell Fine. of."
It shouldn't be the case if you want to pursue a girl.
Matthew just felt weird.
Xia Xiaolan nodded, "Don't worry about him, he is too protective of Tina, afraid that I am deliberately approaching Tina, trying to deceive Tina's friendship, or money or something."
Matthew pouted.
How Xia Xiaolan met Tina, no one knows better than him.
At Mrs. Wilson's house, Mrs. Wilson took the initiative to introduce Tina to Xia Xiaolan.
Tina is very enthusiastic about Xia Xiaolan. She wants to find her for a design plan, but Xia Xiaolan refuses... Rich people are really weird, they have persecution paranoia! Matthew was very excited before he went to the party [567中文www.yue20.com] last night, thinking he could open up a circle of clients.
After attending the party, Faen splashed a basin of cold water.
Are those words asking about Xia Xiaolan's information? Matthew always felt that every question was questioning him.
He leaned his back on the seat: "When I am entrusted by Tina, I will also concentrate on completing the remaining credits, and I will work on finding a job next year."
Xia Xiaolan glanced at him, "Aren't you in a hurry?"
Matthew snorted:
"It's no use worrying."
The scheming boy also has self-esteem, Xia Xiaolan did not laugh at him, but agreed: "You finally figured it out, in fact, it is not difficult for you to enter gmp now, you really don't need to be in such a hurry, just wait for half a year, and you can accept it justifiably Client commissioned."
&np, in the beginning, you can't get in touch with big projects, don't you have a chance for small commissions?
Matthew wants to take shortcuts, Tina is simple, Fine is not.
What if an undergraduate architecture student who has not yet graduated has really come into contact with clients on the Upper East Side, those people will not take Matthew in the eye.
Matthew hadn't figured it out before. Maybe what Fahn said last night touched him?
Alas, the self-esteem of young people is lovely.
In Xia Xiaolan's place, if she wants to make money, she won't back down if others say a few words casually—how should anger be contained? There is probably no other way but to make more money.
But this guy Fahn... is really interesting.
Xia Xiaolan went back to school and didn't care about New York.
Except Jim still has no news, and her life seems to be back to normal.
No one is provocative at school.
Fool Zhou has someone to take care of her again.
I was tired of being on the phone with Zhou Cheng, let alone how easy life was.
But under this rare tranquility, something big seems to be brewing.
Xia Xiaolan said to Zhou Cheng on the phone:
"I think Xu Zhongyi's matter is about to come to an end."
Zhou Cheng frowned, "Daughter-in-law, stay away from them. I don't want other people's grievances to involve you."
Xiaolan promised to help grandma Yu find her son, and Xiaolan had done enough.
Zhou Cheng is not a holy father. He is a hundred people who disagree with his daughter-in-law for the sake of others.
Xia Xiaolan smiled bitterly, "I want to stay far away. You see these people are going to bump into me, can I escape?"
She gave up looking for Xu Zhongyi's family, but Mrs. Wilson introduced Tina to her. Tina took out Faen. A Xia Xiaolan who Tina was strangely familiar with could be ignored, plus another Faen... Xia Xiaolan really endured it again. Forbearance, the faces of the two brothers and sisters were always shaking in front of her, making her pretend not to see it, it could really suffocate her.
Zhou Cheng thought about it for a while, but was still worried:
"You've been staying at school recently. Don't go to New York. I'll ask the third brother if he can make a trip to the United States for me."
Xia Xiaolan felt that Zhou Cheng was too exaggerated.
But Daniel's warning still made her feel nervous, and she didn't object too much:
"If the third brother can come, I will invite the third brother to have a good time in the United States!"
Zhou Cheng had nothing to do with her, so he contacted Pan Baohua after hanging up.
However, it was only the next day that Pan Baohua contacted Zhou Cheng.
Zhou Cheng asked him if he could go to the United States, and Pan Baohua said oddly:
"How do you know I'm going to America?"
Zhou Cheng was even more surprised than Pan Baohua, "Third brother, you are going to the United States..."
"Look at the big sister Jiang Yan, I mean it, if Jiang Yan can't find a partner, I won't get married, I'll wait for her! I don't need to ship some things to the United States by the way, I'll go check it out. My future daughter-in-law, how is her treatment in the United States, and doctors in the United States are so expensive, can it work?"
Pan Baohua said it like a joke, but Zhou Cheng knew that Pan Baohua was a man of his word, and probably really regarded Jiang Yan as his responsibility.
"Third brother, since you are going to the United States, I ask you one thing."
Zhou Cheng briefly explained about Xu Zhongyi.
Hearing that the local Chinese gang was involved, Pan Baohua sneered:
"Those bastards are really ashamed. They have to go to the underworld. There are so many ways to make money. They have a fart in their compatriots."
If he has the ability to harm the Yankees, Pan Baohua also respects them a little.
Most of the immigrants who went to the United States back then were desperate at home, and everyone had a low status in the United States.
It's fine if you don't help each other, the weak will bully the weaker... Pan Baohua looks down on those people: "Don't worry, I'll keep my younger siblings safe and sound."
One sheep is put away, and two sheep are not affected. It is just one more thing to do. Pan Baohua feels very relaxed.
Not only did Zhou Cheng feel relieved that the humanoid killer was going to the United States, but after Xia Xiaolan heard about it, she fell asleep at night.
On Friday morning, Hu Ying looked through her mailbox as usual, took the newspaper she ordered at home, and a pile of bills.
"Hey, here's a letter without a postmark."
Xia Xiaolan put down the milk in her hand, "Aunt Hu, let me take a look."
Hu Ying handed the letter to her.
Xia Xiaolan took a look at it, and a photo fell down and was caught by her quick-witted hands.
Looking back, Xia Xiaolan was stunned.
This is a family portrait.
The girl in the photo is Tina, who looks a few years younger than she is now. The boy is Faen, and he is more youthful than he is now, but his gentle expression remains the same. They were standing, with a man and a woman sitting in front of them.
The woman is very young, delicate and temperamental, and it is Cui Yiru, the daughter-in-law of Grandma Yu.
Such Cui Yiru looks a lot more expensive than the photos saved by Grandma Yu.
And the man beside Cui Yiru...is not Xu Zhongyi!
