Chapter 64 Advice to Tao Xi’s family
At the dinner table, Dan seemed a little distracted.

Jamie only gave him one day to think about it.

Because the day after tomorrow, the Taosi couple will take Big Michael back to New York after finishing their trip to Chicago.

In the next seat, Rufus and Jamie happily chatted about basketball.

Like many New Yorkers, Rufus enjoys the atmosphere of attending games at Madison Square Garden, but there are two places he can't help but complain about.

One is that the Knicks' performance is so bad, they actually have the nerve to sell the most expensive tickets in the league.

No wonder New Yorkers are always laughed at by fans elsewhere for being stupid and rich.

The other is that a big ball market like New York can fully accommodate multiple NBA teams.

According to Rufus's idea, he wishes that each of the major areas in New York would have an NBA team, so that whichever team performs well would be supported by everyone.

Jamie joked with Rufus and asked if there was a possibility that New York fans didn't care about the team's results at all. They bought tickets just to watch an NBA game.

Otherwise, the Nets, who moved from New Jersey to Brooklyn in the next generation, would obviously be much better than the Knicks in terms of the motivation of the team and the owner, including the results in several seasons.

But the Nets still don't sell tickets as well as the Knicks, and the team's market value is far beyond the reach of the Knicks, who are far ahead.

The fundamental reason is that there is only one Manhattan in New York.

During this time, Dan received a text message on his phone and temporarily left the table for a while.

Not long after he came back and sat down, Jamie, Jenny, and Collins all received explosive text messages from the gossip queen at the same time.

Serena officially broke up with Blair and quickly formed a new bestie alliance with Rebecca. Someone took a photo of the two eating together at a high-end vegetarian restaurant in Manhattan.

After putting down the phone, Jenny looked at Jamie who had a normal expression at the table.

She actually wanted to ask Jamie what was going on with Serena, Rebecca, and Blair, the three popular girls in school.

This is related to the issue of which clique Jenny will move closer to in the future.

Judging from the current situation alone, Serena and Rebecca have joined forces to basically declare Blair's "loss of power" in the school.

But the friendship between girls is like this. One second they are as good as each other, but the next second they can turn against each other.

What if Serena suddenly reconciles with Blair later?

Before Jenny could think of how to speak, Collins beside her suddenly asked Jamie a question.

"Will you continue to invite Blair to your party this weekend?"

Jamie shrugged and said that the party invitations had already been sent out, and he didn't know whether Blair would come by then.

Obviously this wasn't the question Collins really wanted to ask.

But at the dinner table, she could only ask so much.

After dinner, Jamie and Collins said goodbye and left together.

The two were on different roads, but Collins still quickly caught up with Jamie who had reached the roadside and was about to stop the car. "Do you need me to call a cab for you?"

"You haven't answered the question I asked at last night's party. Why on earth do you want to help our family?"

Collins showed that he would not give up until he got the answer, leaving Jamie speechless.

"So you still think that your parents' motives for adopting Michael are impure, and you are resisting this matter?"

Collins nodded seriously.

"At first, my mother just felt that Big Michael was pitiful, so she decided to help him from time to time. It wasn't until Big Michael showed his extraordinary athletic talent that their attitude changed."

Collins remembers clearly that her father, Mr. Tausi, said half-jokingly and half-seriously that if Michael could join his alma mater, Tennessee State University, to play football, he would definitely help the team achieve better results.

At that time, Mrs. Taosi had a thoughtful expression on her face.

Not long after, Mrs. Tousi officially announced her intention to adopt Michael during the family dinner.

Mr. Tao Xi immediately agreed. It was obvious that the couple had communicated about this matter in advance.

"Perhaps they really just wanted to help send a good football player to their alma mater?"

Jamie asked rhetorically.

Collins hesitated for less than two seconds before finally deciding to tell Jamie the truth.

"You said this possibility was only true before my father's restaurant chain ran into problems. Although he has now sold the restaurant, he actually lost a lot of money. This was when I accidentally overheard their conversation. Got it.”

“One of the reasons our family moved from Memphis to New York was because my mom thought she could make more money as a designer in New York.”

"It seems now that her decision was the right one, but compared to the high cost of living in New York, our family is actually no better off than before."

"That's why they decided to let Michael play basketball instead, because NBA players make more money."

Having said all that, Collins just wants to tell Jamie that her parents have now regarded Big Michael as an investment, but she does not agree with her parents' approach and hopes that Jamie will not become her parents' accomplice.

Seeing how frank she was, Jamie put down his right hand that was about to stop the car and decided to teach this innocent and lovely girl a lesson.

"Although I'm very grateful that you can say these things to me, I don't think there is anything wrong with your parents' decision. If they had not adopted Michael, Michael might have been able to succeed in the end, but there is no doubt that the process would have been more difficult and tortuous. .”

"It is more likely that he will be stuck in the quagmire of the slums for the rest of his life, and all his talents will be wasted."

"From this point of view, your parents being able to choose Big Michael shows that they have really good vision. This time they support Big Michael in choosing basketball, which he prefers. This is also proved by the fact that Big Michael continues to play football and is successful. The probability is definitely higher than supporting him to switch to basketball, right?"

"I'm not going to stop what your parents are going to do. I just hope that they can take a longer view and invest more real feelings in Michael instead of expecting to get it from Michael in the first place." What a reward.”

"Because Big Michael will grow up one day and realize that your parents' purpose of adopting him is not pure, but it doesn't matter. As long as Big Michael believes that becoming a family with you is the best choice for him now and in the future. The trusting relationship between your family and him will be maintained forever.”

Just as they were talking, a yellow taxi stopped in front of the two of them.

Jamie put Collins in the car and finally told her through the car window:
“Trust me, it’s good for everyone!”
