Back to 80: My literary life.

Chapter 831 Three women and one drama
In the afternoon, when Li Li came back from school, Fang Minghua told her that Zhang Qing had invited her to his home. Li Li happily agreed.

Although she has been in San Francisco for more than ten years, she doesn't have many friends. Apart from her colleagues, her only good friend is Demi.

She had also met Zhang Qing and Meng Dawen's wife, Li Li, and they were considered friends. She was also happy to go with Fang Minghua and her daughter to visit the place.

At nine o'clock the next morning, Fang Minghua drove Li Li and her daughter towards Zhang Qing's home.

Zhang Qing's home is located in a wealthy area called Innovation in Los Altos in the South Bay of San Francisco. Li Li had been there once, so she roughly knew the location.

It took more than 40 minutes to drive to the destination. This place was far away from the city and the surroundings were very quiet. Fang Minghua drove the car into the public parking space, got out of the car, held 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 backdrop of the surrounding green trees. There is a large garden in front. Fang Minghua feels that it looks 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 and jointly opened an accounting firm. Just by living in this villa, they have already squeezed into the wealthy class in the United States. "

"Your place is really nice, with convenient transportation and elegant environment." Fang Minghua said as he stood in the yard and looked at the surrounding environment.

"Mr. Fang, compared to Raymond's mansion, mine is nothing." Zhang Qing said with a smile: "Besides, with your current financial situation, which mansion in San Francisco, no, in the entire United States, can't you afford?"

Fang Minghua has never been to Lei Dawen'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 Zhang Qing and his wife, who were the first generation to come to the United States to work hard, Lei Dawen’s grandfather came to San Francisco, and his family background is much deeper than Zhang Qing’s.

The couple invited Fang Minghua and the other two into the house. The house had oak floors and leather sofas, and was very stylish 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 and I don't know when I will be back." Wu Meiling said.

Zhang Qing has a son who is attending Nueva School, a very famous private high school in San Francisco. His academic performance is quite good. According to Li Li, his ideal school is Stanford University's business school, so he can inherit his parents' legacy in the future.

Xinxin was watching TV while the four adults were chatting. Then they heard someone laughing outside. Zhang Qing said, "It must be Lei Dawen and his family."

When everyone went out, they saw a large family.

Unlike Zhang Qing who only has one child, Lei Dawen has three children. His wife is American, and the three children are of Chinese-American descent.

There are two boys and one girl. The older one looks to be in high school, and the younger one is a girl who is not much older than Xinxin.

She has golden hair and black eyes, which is very cute.

When Xinxin saw someone of the same age coming, she immediately ran up happily, took the other person’s hand and started chatting.

Another mixed greeting in Chinese and English.

"Hello, what's your name?"

The little girl looked at the other person and answered in a baby voice: "Vivian, you can call me Vivian, what's your name?"

"Hi, Vivian, my name is lixin. You can call me Xinxin."

Both girls speak a mix of Chinese and English.

When all the guests arrived, Zhang Qing and his wife asked the nanny to take out the barbecue grill and put it in the garden at the back, and the three families started to get busy.

The two older children were playing on the computer in the house, the 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, when he has a barbecue at home, it is Song Tangtang and the nanny who do it, and he eats the ready-made ones.

But Zhang Qing and Lei Dawen were very skilled at their work. They cut the mutton and added seasonings. It seemed that they did this often.

Soon, the garden was filled with the tempting aroma of mutton. Zhang Qing brought out beer and drinks from home, and adults and children sat on chairs and began to eat around the small table. Perhaps because Zhang Qing was Taiwanese, the mutton skewers were lightly seasoned, far less than the strong cumin flavor that Fang Minghua had eaten in Xijing.

But the light taste also has its advantages. You can feel the original flavor of the mutton without any smell. The quality of the mutton is very good.

Everyone was eating and chatting, basically the three men were talking about current political affairs, while the women were talking about skin care, makeup and so on.

"Li Li, your skin is so well maintained, what cosmetics do you use?" The speaker was Zhang Qing's wife, Wu Meiling.

"Me? I just use very ordinary Estee Lauder and nothing else." Li Li answered truthfully.

"So your skin is so good?"

"I don't feel that good, do I?"

"Ask Lisa if I'm right. You're only two years younger than me and you look less than 30."

Li Li is the youngest among the three, but she is 38 years old this year. Her skin is indeed good, but not exaggeratedly so, nor does she look as young as if she is in her twenties. It is obvious that Wu Meiling is complimenting her.

Lisa's mind turned.

The three of them had dinner together before, but this was the first time Wu Meiling spoke to Li Li in this manner.

Wu Meiling is actually very pretty and has a baby face, which makes her look younger than her actual age. In fact, she looks almost the same as Li Li.

What's going on today?
Could it be?

Lisa is a full-time housewife. She came here with her husband today. During the chat, her husband said that Li Li's lover, the Chinese writer, is very rich. Zhang Qing said so, but Zhang Qing refused to reveal how rich he is, citing personal privacy. She just smiled and said that his wealth is much richer than that of your Lei family.

Lisa knew that her family's assets, including various real estate, totaled about 500 to 600 million US dollars, which was definitely considered wealthy in the United States.

But this man has more money!

It's obvious that Wu Meiling was complimenting.

Wu Meiling was indeed complimenting.

Nearly 80 billion US dollars.
She simply couldn't relate to the very ordinary-dressed man next to her.

Although Li Li and Fang Minghua were just lovers, strictly speaking from a legal perspective, Li Li could not get any share of Fang Minghua's property.

But there was a child.

Children have inheritance rights!

In the United States, both legitimate and illegitimate children have equal inheritance rights!

This is the reason why they say a mother's status is determined by her son.

Moreover, it seems that the relationship between the two is very good now. It is said that Li Li is the cousin of Fang Minghua's wife in China. It is also known that their relationship is a bit like a love triangle.

This situation is also very common among wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong and Taiwan, so there is no need to make a fuss about it.

This man is also a major client of the accounting firm that she and her husband opened. The business of Ashley Press and Shengshi Film and Television's subsidiaries in the United States are all related to this man, so of course we have to say a few good words about him.

Instead of flattering a man directly, it is better to compliment the woman he likes.

Lisa was not stupid either. When she saw Wu Meiling complimenting her, she quickly said something nice, praising Li Li for her youth and beauty, which made Li Li very embarrassed.

She was a relatively simple woman, how could she have imagined the little thoughts of these two women?
I naturally feel very happy.
