Chapter 831 Three women and one drama
In the afternoon, when Li Li came back from school, Fang Minghua told her about Zhang Qing's invitation to his home, and Li Li happily agreed.
Although she has stayed in San Francisco for more than ten years, she does not have many friends. Apart from her colleagues, her best friend is Demi.
Zhang Qing and Meng Dawen's wife Li Li have also met, and they are considered friends. She is also happy to accompany Fang Minghua and his daughter to visit.
At nine o'clock the next morning, Fang Minghua drove Li Li and her daughter in the direction of Zhang Qing's home.
Zhang Qing's home is located in Los Altos, a wealthy area called Innovation in the South Bay of San Francisco. Li Li has been here once before, so she probably knows the location.
It took more than 40 minutes to drive there. It was far away from the urban area and the surroundings were very quiet. Fang Minghua drove the car into a public parking space. After getting off the car, he took his daughter's hand and walked along the road with Li Li.
Zhang Qing's home is also a two-story villa. The milky-white house looks very elegant against the surrounding green trees. There is a large garden in front. Fang Minghua feels that it looks even better than the one he lives in.
"Welcome, welcome, Mr. Fang, Mrs. Fang." Zhang Qing and his wife were already greeting them in the yard.
Both of them are Taiwanese. After graduating from college in the United States, they stayed in San Francisco to work hard. They opened an accounting firm in partnership and have already joined the wealthy class of the United States just by living in this villa. ”
"Your place is really nice, with convenient transportation and elegant environment." Fang Minghua said while standing in the yard and looking at the surrounding environment.
"Mr. Fang, compared to Radarwen's mansion, this is nothing." Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Besides, with your current strength, which mansion in San Francisco, no, in the entire United States, can you not afford?"
Fang Minghua has never been to Reda Wen's mansion, but Li Li has been there once. It is said to cover an area of 30 acres and is actually a manor.
Unlike the first generation of Zhang Qing and his wife who came to the United States to work hard, Reda Wen's grandparents came to San Francisco, and their family background is much deeper than Zhang Qing's.
The couple greeted Fang Minghua and the other two people into the house. It had oak floors and leather sofas, which were very fashionable and luxurious.
The nanny made some coffee and they started chatting.
"Meiling (Zhang Qing's wife), where is your son?" Li Li asked.
"I went to play basketball with my classmates. I don't know when I will come back." Wu Meiling said.
Zhang Qing has a son who attends high school at Nueva School, a very famous private high school in San Francisco. His academic performance is quite good. Li Li said that his ideal school is the business school of Stanford University, and he will inherit his parents' legacy in the future.
Xinxin watched the TV, while the four adults chatted, and heard someone laughing outside. Zhang Qing said, "It's probably the Reda Wen family who are here."
When everyone went out, they saw a large family.
Unlike Zhang Qing, who only has one child, Reda Wen has three children. His wife is American, and he has three Chinese-American children.
There were two boys and one girl. The eldest one looked like he was already in high school, and the younger one was a girl, not much older than Xinxin.
She has blond hair but black eyes, very cute.
When Xinxin saw someone of her own age coming, she immediately ran up happily and held the other person's hand to chat.
Another mixed greeting in Chinese and English.
"Hello, What'syourname?"
The little girl looked at each other and replied with a sweet voice: "Vivian, you can call me Vivian, what's your name?"
"Hi, Vivian, Mynameislixin., just call me Xinxin."
Both girls speak a mix of Chinese and English.
When the guests arrived, Zhang Qing and his wife asked the nanny to take out the barbecue grill and put it in the garden behind, and the three families began to get busy.
Two older children were playing on the computer in the house, two little girls were playing in the garden, and the adults were chatting while working.
To be honest, Fang Minghua has eaten a lot of mutton skewers, but he has never made it himself. Occasionally, Song Tangtang and his nanny would do a barbecue at home, and he would eat the ready-made ones.
But Zhang Qing and Reda Wen were very skilled at their work. They cut mutton and seasoned it. They seemed to do this often.
After a while, the alluring aroma of mutton emitted from the garden. Zhang Qing brought out beer and drinks from home. The adults and children sat on chairs and started eating around the small table. Perhaps because Zhang Qing is Taiwanese, there is very little seasoning on the mutton skewers, which is far inferior to the strong cumin flavor that Fang Minghua had in Xijing.
But the light taste also has the advantage of being light. You can feel the original flavor of the mutton, without any odor, and the quality of the mutton is very good.
Everyone chatted while eating. Basically, the three men talked about current affairs and politics, while the women talked about skin care and makeup.
"Li Li, your skin is so well maintained, what kind of cosmetics do you use?" The speaker was Zhang Qing's wife, Wu Meiling.
"Me? I just use ordinary Estee Lauder and nothing else." Li Li answered truthfully.
"Then your skin is so good?"
"I don't feel that good either?"
"Ask Lisa, am I right? You are only two years younger than me, and you look less than thirty."
Li Li is the youngest among the three, but she is also 38 years old this year. Her skin is indeed good, but she is not exaggerated or young enough to be in her twenties. It is obvious that Wu Meiling is complimenting her.
Lisa's mind was spinning.
The three of them had dinner together, but this was the first time they saw Wu Meiling talking to Li Li in this manner.
Wu Meiling is actually very beautiful, and she has a baby face, which makes her look younger than her actual age. In fact, she looks similar to Li Li.
What happened today?
Could it be?
Lisa is a full-time housewife. Today she came with her husband as a guest. During the chat, her husband said that Li Li’s lover, the Chinese writer, was very rich. Zhang Qing said it, but how rich she was. Zhang Qing refused to reveal her privacy and just laughed. It is said that he has more money than your Lei family.
Lisa knew that her family's property, including various real estate properties, totaled about five or six billion U.S. dollars. This was definitely considered a rich man in the United States.
But this man has more money!
Obviously, Wu Meiling was complimenting her.
Wu Meiling is indeed complimenting.
Nearly 8 billion US dollars.
She simply couldn't relate to the very ordinary-dressed man next to her.
Although Li Li and Fang Minghua are just lovers, strictly speaking, Li Li cannot share in Fang Minghua's property.
But having kids.
Children have the right to inherit!
In the United States, children born in wedlock or out of wedlock have equal inheritance rights!
This is the saying that the mother is more valuable than the son.
Moreover, it seems that the relationship between the two is very good now. It is said that Li Li is also the cousin of Fang Minghua's wife in China, and she also knows about their relationship, which feels a bit like E-ying co-serving.
This situation is also very common among the wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so there is no need to make a fuss.
This man is also a major client of the accounting firm he opened with his husband, including Ashleypress Publishing House and the US subsidiary of Shengshi Film and Television, which are all related to this man. Of course, he needs to say a few more good things.
If you want to directly flatter a man, you might as well compliment the woman he likes.
Lisa was not stupid. When she saw Wu Meiling complimenting her, she quickly said something nice and praised Li Li for being young, beautiful and naturally beautiful. This made Li Li very embarrassed.
She is a relatively simple woman, how could she have thought of the little thoughts of these two women?
I was naturally very happy.
