Chapter 360: A group of famous detective girls who seem to be inseparable from each other

“There’s On the Rocks Margarita, Jaja Tequila, The Glenlivet Scotch Whiskey, Chalk Hill Chardonnay, Perrier-Jouët Champagne, and… Wynn’s classic Dame Mas Reposado.”

Madison's questioning voice came from the porch.

"Which one do you want?"

Barbara, who was sitting on the sofa, tilted her head to the left and glanced at Madison, who was squatting in front of the minibar refrigerator and carefully counting the liquor inventory. There was a hint of surprise in the smile on her lips.

"Why is there wine in the minibar in your room?"

If a guest under the age of 21 checks in, the hotel is required by law to empty the minibar of all alcoholic beverages.

This is common sense.

"Because they didn't use my name."

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot." Barbara nodded knowingly.

"Then shall we find a movie to use as background sound now?"

"I'll get the soft drinks."

"I usually drink at parties, which are noisy and messy, and the subwoofer is loud and annoying. Rarely... ah, it happened with Rhett. When we were very young, we were both curious about what wine tasted like. Stealing margaritas from the refrigerator after mom was asleep and drinking them in the closet.”

The topic came to an end for the time being. Barbara and Madison smiled at each other at the same time, and tilted their heads to the side where they could not see each other. Their eyes flickered, as if each had something on their mind.

"By the way, ice cubes..."

"It doesn't matter, I'll call them and ask them to bring a bucket up."

"It feels so good."

"You don't drink often?" Madison looked at her in surprise.

"If we keep this up, we won't have to chat anymore, we can just communicate telepathically." Madison inserted his right hand into the root of his hair, plucked it randomly twice, and said with a smile.

Because when it comes to drinking, both girls think of the man who left a deep impression on them because he didn't drink.

"drink."

"20 degrees."

"Probably not." Barbara flipped up her hair, "We were going to dictate two movies, weren't we?"

"So..." Madison turned her head and looked at Barbara, "Which one do you want?"

"Let me see...it doesn't seem to be here."

"What did Yidu tell you?" Barbara leaned on the backrest with her elbows and supported her cheeks with her palms, with a dumbfounded expression. "He thinks he is as handsome as Ashton Kutcher, right?"

"That's right." Madison raised her eyes and thought for a moment, bit her lower lip, and showed a slight smile, "One "Remember Me" and one... "Love Without Tether".

"I understand."

"I'm a social drinker." Barbara spread her hands, "Even if I go out to play, I don't drink much... I've never had a hangover."

"I think so...if you drink more wine, you will probably be more spiritual."

"Me too, I really don't like drinking. It can be said that I have never liked it."

"Yes."

"cheers."

"Let's get two more bottles of Red Bull or Sprite, and drink them with a tropical margarita." Barbara squatted beside Madison, pointed to the small refrigerator, and suggested, "The temperature can be lowered this way. It's not easy. drunk."

There was a crisp collision sound, and the refreshing low-alcohol sweet wine entered their throats. Barbie and Maddie let out a sigh of satisfaction at the same time.

"cheers."

When musicians go to other cities to perform, or models go to other places for catwalks or filming, in order to check in quickly, the organizer's staff usually use their own ID to open the room first.

"If I had to drink, it would definitely be beer." Madison grinned and explained, "It's not because of my last name...it's because I can't drink alcohol that's too strong. Corona is okay."

Madison glanced out the window at the still brightly lit midnight Vegas, and exhaled a breath of alcohol-laced breath.

"Don't you even drink beer?" Barbara smiled slyly and made a pun.

"I'll take the margarita over here."

"I'm about the same. Usually only my sister and I would drink face to face like this." Barbara's index finger swung back and forth between herself and Madison. "Only when I'm with my family can I let myself indulge a little bit." A little. Every time we go back to Budapest, as long as she’s around, we’ll pick a movie and drink until we’re tipsy.”

The girls he likes...are not all the same type?
The moment their eyes met again, the two girls knew that their brain waves must have been tuned to the same frequency this time. Maddie couldn't help but burst into laughter, causing Barbie, who was originally holding back, to break down.

"Which one am I in?"

"Otherwise..." Barbara hesitated for a moment, "I'm sorry, how old is that margarita?"

"Red, your brother?"

"Then let's take this...wait a minute, I'll come and help you." Barbara put on the slippers she had changed into just now - because she was not a savage American who put sneakers on to bed - and took small steps toward Maddie. Xun ran over.

We talked to each other, you poured the wine and I added ice, and mixed the tropical cocktail of Red Bull and Margarita. Madison and Barbara even put a slice of lemon on the rim of the two glasses in a leisurely manner. . After everything was ready, the two of them wrapped themselves in comfortable bathrobes and sat back on the opposite ends of the sofa in the living room.

"Then drink some."

"I don't know the details, but I think you're the second one."

This is also common sense.

"That's not true. He told me very briefly about your affairs. He only told me that your first time... was in Ibiza. Everything else was figured out by myself."

"What did you figure out?" Barbara asked with interest.

"I have deduced that... your encounter was an unplanned accident."

"correct."

"He went to Ibiza that day to attend Diplo's performance. I guess that's where you met."

"Diplo is a friend of mine. I happened to be in Ibiza that day and he invited me."

"So it was Thomas who introduced you."

"Well... you can say that, but not quite."

"not completely?"

"He was standing next to the DJ booth, maybe because it was too crowded, so he took a step back and bumped into me." At this point, Barbara raised the glass in her hand, "The one I was holding that day was also This color margarita…light orange, but no red bull.”

"So you two started talking because Yi... bumped into you. He apologized sincerely to you, and then you teased him a few words in a funny way, right?"

"Yes." Barbara nodded slightly, "It's dramatic and cliché...it does look like a cheesy movie."

"Then you fall in love."

"Falling in love? No——" Barbara frowned, drawled her voice, and said with a smile, "There is no such thing as a fairy tale of love at first sight in this world."

"Then what did you think when you first saw him?"

"It's been so long, how can I still remember this?"

"Try to think about it," Madison insisted.

"Ah, well, for the sake of buying me a drink." Barbara took a sip of her margarita, thought for a moment, and said, "When I first saw Yi, he happened to be carrying He turned around apologetically, with a... sense of detachment. I could feel that he actually didn't want to be there. From his posture to his expression, every part of his body was screaming, 'Let me out. ', which I find quite interesting. Because he's really not the kind of boy you'd meet in a nightclub, with no carefully applied hairspray and no strong, deliberate sexual tension that suggests, 'Come and sleep with me. ', at that moment, he just happened to be there. And that...intrigues me."

"Sounds like it was love at first sight."

"Really not." Barbara chuckled and shook her head. "I just think this person is very special and interesting. I want to take him out of this nightclub and ask him why he inadvertently broke into a place that didn't belong to him. His place.”

"What do you call this emotion?"

"Hmm... Are you curious about knowledge?"

"Okay." Madison raised her eyebrows and buried her face in the cup, "If you say so." "Then what do you think my emotion should be called?"

"If you're intrigued..." Madison put down the cup and pointed at Barbara, "you're falling."

"Pretty sure I wasn't falling." Barbara laughed dryly.

"Then let me ask another question." Madison swallowed all the alcohol in his mouth before continuing, "When you first saw him, which part did you notice first?"

"Back, because he hit me with his back."

"As for your face, which part left the deepest impression on you?"

"Eye."

"why?"

"Because his eyes... I don't know how to describe it in English, they're not upturned, they're not completely wide open, and of course they're not small at all. They're kind of like... Hugh Grant's eyes, that kind of With melancholy and innocence..."

"Puppy eyes."

Madison and Barbara said the last two words in unison.

"Okay, okay, I admit, he does attract me a little bit." Barbara raised her hands, "I don't like the so-called alpha male who is too strong. I like clean, humble, and no Aggressive, a man who makes people feel comfortable and respected.”

"Then there is no one more suitable than him."

"Yes, he is really an Asian who... fits all the stereotypes - all the good stereotypes." At this point, Barbara's mouth accidentally overflowed with a few rays of sweetness, and she realized that Maddie's eyes were looking at her. After staring at her without blinking, the Hungarian girl quickly calmed down her expression, wiped her lips with the back of her hand, and quickly changed the subject, "What about you? What was it like when you first met?"

"The first time we met, there was no accidental romance at all. It was a press conference and celebration party held at his home when he announced the acquisition of UTA. During that time, I happened to be talking about signing a contract with UTA, so , I had to go to this event. I wanted to get to know the team who might be responsible for my acting agency in the future in advance, and also go see if there was any chance to meet some big names in the industry - whether it was cooperation or support, it was completely important to me at that time. They are all valuable resources for me as an independent musician who is struggling.”

"So you went there with a mission that day and had no intention of doing so at all."

"Yeah, why do you think about that? Think about it, I'm an outsider who hasn't signed with UTA yet, and I go to other people's celebration parties and hook up with this and that. What will others think of me? I'm going to do it. In order for everyone to remember that Madison Beal is still there, and not let others think that Madison Beal has become a joke, not to mention that I was still a minor at the time."

"It's the same now." The Hungarian witch silently added another blow.

"That's right, it's the same now." Maddie was choked and couldn't find any way to fight back. This was indeed her biggest weakness when facing Barbara, "So it's even more impossible to think about finding a man for herself. To be honest... To be honest, that UTA celebration party was the highest-level event with the most stars that I have ever attended."

"Can't even compare to the VMAs?"

"Which VMAs will see Barbra Streisand and Angelina Jolie sharing sushi, while Harrison Ford and Anthony Hopkins chat about Hollywood in the 1970s?"

"Wow."

"Yeah, I was so nervous that I couldn't even walk with my hands and feet. When Jeremy Zimmer, the CEO of UTA, took me to meet the protagonist of today's party, the new shareholder of United Artists Agency, I felt My fake smile almost froze on my face."

"That's not what Yi said."

"what?"

"Yi Shuo, the first time I met you, I felt that although you were only seventeen years old, you had no stage fright at all. You were generous, straightforward and full of approachability."

"I was all pretending." At this point, Madison frowned slightly and looked at Barbara with doubts in her eyes, "He even told you about our first meeting?"

"I mentioned it." Barbara responded vaguely and raised her hand, "Don't let me interrupt you."

"There's nothing more to say... That's how it was when we first met." Madison thought for a moment and replied, "He was wearing a complete gray suit that day. He looked very upright, and he had a whole professional team to help him. His makeup and styling...if I hadn’t been told that he was a new shareholder of UTA, I would have thought he was a movie star who came to Hollywood from some Asian country.”

"He is indeed... too young. He is so young that it feels like he doesn't even know how to fill out a tax return, but he has already acquired a multinational brokerage company."

"Yeah, can we discuss how unbelievable this is?!" Madison suddenly raised her voice, as if she had found a confidant with whom she could finally confide her inner confusion, "21 years old, 1.9 million. At the same time, it also operates a record company, a copyright distribution company, and a performance company, has a G650, and is hosting a music festival with people...I mean, how is this humanly possible?"

"I have the same confusion." Barbara nodded slightly, convinced, "At this age, usually, you should still be in college."

"Maybe he's still in college?"

"you know?"

"I don't know." Madison waved his hand, "I've asked him several times, but Yi always hesitated and didn't give a direct answer. However, the more he behaves like this, the more certain I am."

"It makes sense. If you don't have a secret to hide, you won't avoid a simple yes or no question." Barbara tapped the wall of the glass thoughtfully with her fingernails, "Have you ever thought about it? However, if your guess is indeed true, it means..."

"It means that behind his incredible behavior, there is a high probability of support from his family." Madison helped Barbara finish the second half of her sentence, "This is actually a more common-sense situation. Isn’t it? A wealthy East Asian family with huge wealth supports their descendants to develop a powerful branch in the United States.”

"There's no need to hint at me with that inquiring look, girl." Barbara curled her lips and smiled, "I don't know any more than you do."

"I thought you guys talked about everything."

"It's a wide-ranging conversation, yes."

"How come it doesn't involve family?" Madison looked out the window and tried to keep her expression calm. "This may be the most important topic, isn't it?"

"Yes." Of course, Barbara knew the true meaning of Madison's question, but she didn't intend to give the other party a clear answer. She regarded it as a small punishment for the Long Island girl who attacked her without any explanation at In-N-Out. , “We had a brief chat, I said more and he said less, so I don’t know many details.

"Has he ever mentioned to you that he has a mother?"

"Honey……"

Barbara opened her mouth, not knowing how to express her feelings at the moment.

"Everyone has a mother."

"No, I mean..." Madison herself was amused by the incoherent sentence just now, "I mean, his mother is not a mysterious person who can't be traced at all. In May of this year , she came here with her mother, Yi's grandmother, and they traveled up and down the West Coast for about half a month."

"Really?" Barbara's eyes flashed and she sat up straight, "Have you seen her?"

"I've seen it." Madison nodded firmly. She didn't intend to tell Barbara the complete truth, as a small punishment for choking her so much that she couldn't speak.

"how is she?"

"She looks very serious and rarely smiles. She is the kind of strong woman who makes people feel scared at first sight." Madison joked seriously, "But she is quite friendly to me...very caring."

"Oh." Barbara rolled her eyes, "Dinner?"

"Afternoon tea. I have to record that day, and they will go to San Francisco in the evening." Madison's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he was writing a fantasy novel vividly.

"Didn't she introduce herself to you?"

"She doesn't know English, so Yi always relays what she says in the middle of the conversation...I can't hear anything he doesn't translate."

"Ok."

Barbara thought for a few seconds and then asked, "On what day of May did Yi's mother come to the United States?"

"It's May...wait a minute." Madison's eyes suddenly lit up, "You mean, she is probably here to attend Yi's graduation ceremony, right? If Yi is still in college, 21 years old...ah , it’s indeed time to graduate! So..."

"As long as we find the time record of her visit to the United States, we can deduce which university Yi is a graduate of." Barbara folded her arms and made a conclusion with a look of certainty on her face.

The two famous detective girls, who seem to be inseparable but seem to be inseparable, come close to the truth like they are peeling off cocoons in a chat that seems to have no main line and talks about whatever comes to mind.

"Time, time... I found it! Yi told me that the time they arrived was May 5th, and during those two days, the only people holding graduation ceremonies in Los Angeles were..."

"University of Southern California."

Barbara was the first to search for the answer on her mobile phone. There are only a few universities in Los Angeles, and the number of famous schools can be counted on one hand. Judging from the industry Han Yi is involved in, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a student at Caltech. The only remaining prestigious schools that match Han Yi's wealth are the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles.

"It must be USC! He often talks about the Trojans. I also saw him wearing a college sweatshirt once or twice. I didn't think much about it at the time. I thought he was an NCAA football fan."

Madison excitedly picked up the phone, fingers flying, and entered keywords into Google.

"University of Southern California, Han..."

"found it!"

"What did you find?"

Barbara used her hands and feet to quickly crawl to Madison's side. Her eyes were focused on the first search result displayed on the screen——

[Mr. and Mrs. Han Student Opportunity and Social Impact Scholarship-USC Yeoman and Young College]
