1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 651 has a unique flavor!
"Honey, why don't you come down for a swim?"

By the pool, Rosamund Kwan called out to Li Changhe curiously.

Li Changhe smiled and then waved to her.

Seeing this, Rosamund Kwan got out of the pool, put on her swimsuit, and went to Li Changhe's sun lounger, then lay down on him.

"How are you feeling? Are you cold?"

Cool water droplets slid down her fair skin and landed on Li Changhe. Li Changhe felt the tenderness of the 20-year-old girl and then gently patted her.

"Come on, I have something to tell you!"

"Oh? Honey, what's up?"

Rosamund Kwan asked Li Changhe with a grin.

"Be prepared, I have a woman here in Los Angeles who came from France."

Li Changhe said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Rosamund Kwan's smile froze on her face.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but her mind went blank.

To be honest, in the past two years, she had been by Li Changhe's side and had never seen him with any other women, which made her feel, for a moment, that she was actually dating Li Changhe.

But now, Li Changhe has personally shattered that illusion for her.

Seeing Rosamund Kwan's stunned expression, Li Changhe sighed.

“Gigi, actually I did this for your own good, or rather, for your own good.”

“You are now by my side, seemingly surrounded by flowers and enjoying high status in front of others, but that’s because most of the people you come into contact with are of a lower level than me.”

"You should know that I am not without enemies either. My enemies and my opponents are far beyond your imagination. To them, crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant."

"If you were the only woman by my side, my enemies would see you as my weakness, and the best option for them to attack me would be to strike at you!"

"And once these people make a move, even if I provide you with bodyguards or something, you might not be able to withstand them."

"Therefore, being the only one by my side is not actually a good choice for you; on the contrary, it carries great risks."

"On the other hand, if I have more than one woman, then to the enemy, your threat to me is reduced, because I am promiscuous and can change to another one at any time. The probability of them taking action against you will be almost infinitely low, because the benefits and risks are disproportionate."

"Understand?"

Li Changhe spoke calmly, and Guan Zhilin, upon hearing this, didn't know whether to feel sad or helpless.

"Are you lying to me? Is your enemy really that powerful?"

At this moment, Rosamund Kwan asked Li Changhe in a soft voice.

Li Changhe shook his head, then asked seriously, "Then let me ask you, do you know the Rockefeller family in the United States? Or the Rothschild family in Europe?"

Rosamund Kwan looked completely bewildered after hearing this: "I don't know!"

She's a terrible student, what would she know about this kind of family information!

"The Rockefeller family is the invisible family behind the scenes in the United States today."

Li Changhe gave Guan Zhilin a brief explanation of the origins and influence of Rockefeller and Rothschild, and Guan Zhilin's mouth dropped open in surprise.

"So, according to you, these families are even more powerful than Sir Robert Ho Tung's family?"

In Rosamund Kwan's mind, the Ho family, which used to be the head of the four major families, was the most powerful family. But after hearing what Li Changhe said, Rockefeller was able to control the decisions of the US president. Wasn't that even more powerful than the Ho family?
"The Ho Tung family is nothing compared to them; they're not even worth mentioning."

"Now you understand, right? I cooperate with them, and similarly, our opponents are probably similar family forces, such as Morgan or the Boston Consortium."

"To them, you were just a nobody, but if you become too important to me, then you will become someone of some importance, someone they can use, and they will take action against you."

"Although I am not afraid, you must know that it is easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. There is no such thing as being able to guard against a thief for a thousand days, only being able to do so for a thousand days."

"If you can't understand this, then you'd better stay on Hong Kong Island and not come out."

Li Changhe said seriously.

"Or if you can't accept that, I can let you leave!"

Li Changhe knew that this young girl longed for a family when she was young, otherwise she wouldn't have been tricked into marriage by an older man at the age of 20.

"do not want!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Rosamund Kwan blurted it out.

"Are you just trying to find an excuse to make me leave?"

At that moment, Rosamund Kwan burst into tears and asked Li Changhe with extreme grievance.

"No, I just wanted to see if you could accept it."

“Adjani may just be the beginning, and there may be others later. I don’t want to hide it from you.”

Li Changhe shook his head and said slowly.

Rosamund Kwan felt a pang of sadness. Although this was something she had worried about for a long time, it was still quite upsetting now that it had actually happened.

"That woman's name is Isabelle Adjani?"

"You said that to her too?"

Rosamund Kwan then asked, somewhat hesitantly.

Li Changhe smiled and said, "I don't need to tell her. Her intentions are different from yours. You can think of it as this woman throwing herself at you in the world of fame and fortune."

"But she's pretty enough to fit my aesthetic, so I'll take her."

Adjani made it clear from the beginning that the other party was a smart woman, not as naive as Guan Zhilin.

In fact, it's just that Rosamund Kwan is young now. If she were 27 or 28, she wouldn't need to waste so much breath, and the other party would naturally be more understanding.

"You're such a womanizer, you wouldn't even lie to me."

"Actually, you didn't have to tell me. Anyway, I won't know how many women you have outside, and even if your rivals find out, they won't do anything to me."

"But you insist on telling me that you did it on purpose."

Rosamund Kwan isn't really stupid; at least in some things, she's quite clever.

Li Changhe didn't actually have to tell her these facts; otherwise, she could have remained an ignorant canary.

Therefore, Li Changhe must have had other intentions when he said these things.

"How come you've suddenly become so smart? Okay, actually I do have an idea!"

"Come!"

Li Changhe then pulled Guan Zhilin down onto him and whispered a few words in her ear.

Upon hearing this, Rosamund Kwan's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

She knew Li Changhe had ulterior motives; he had actually forced her to be with that woman.
I knew you were a bad guy!

At this moment, Rosamund Kwan angrily lowered her head and bit Li Changhe's shoulder, but immediately afterward, she was silenced by another mouth.

Having just dealt a heavy blow, Li Changhe naturally had to offer some incentives in return.

He hasn't tried it in the pool yet.

He had previously considered getting closer to Zhu Lin while swimming, but that was in a public place, which wasn't appropriate, and the water quality outside wasn't good either. It's different here in Los Angeles; the pool water is filtered, which is perfect.

With Li Changhe taking the initiative, Guan Zhilin, who was still somewhat heartbroken, had long since put her sadness behind her. Her heart and soul had already been conquered by Li Changhe, and she had no resistance left.

Before long, she was exhausted and collapsed onto Li Changhe's body, eventually falling into a deep sleep.

After Rosamund Kwan went to sleep, Li Changhe changed his clothes and then took his car keys.

At the entrance of the manor, Ah Hu and the others came over when they saw Li Changhe drive out.

"Boss, are you going out? Let's go get the car now."

Ah Hu and the others knew that Li Changhe valued privacy, so they stayed in the outer area of ​​the manor and took good care of the perimeter.

They would not enter the residential area unless summoned by Li Changhe.

"No need, I'll just go nearby and be right back!"

Li Changhe drove to Isabelle Adjani's villa.

When Adjani came to the United States, he bought her a house in Beverly Hills.

Soon, Li Changhe arrived at Adjani's villa and drove the car inside.

On the lawn in front of the villa, Adjani is playing with her son.

When she saw Li Changhe get out of the car, Ajani handed her son to the nanny and then quickly walked towards Li Changhe.

"Vic, you're back?"

Adjani actually knew that Li Changhe would come to the United States, after all, Anna had told her in advance, otherwise she would not have stayed at home waiting today.

She didn't know exactly when Li Changhe would arrive.

Adjani threw herself into Li Changhe's arms, then tiptoed for a passionate French kiss until she was almost out of breath before releasing him and gazing at him tenderly.

"Let's go inside first and talk about it!"

Li Changhe led Ajani into the villa, while the nanny, sensing the situation, led the others to the backyard.

"Isa, there's something I want to tell you!"

After entering the room, Li Changhe first stopped Ajani, who was about to throw herself at him, and then whispered a few words in her ear.

Upon hearing Li Changhe's words, Adjani first looked at him in surprise, then said with a playful tone, "Vic, did you plan this all along? But are you sure you can do it?"

As the French Rose and the Queen of Arthouse Cinema, her feelings for Vic are not surprising at all.

"Just come with me!"

Seeing her questioning look, Li Changhe felt a surge of anger. Had this woman forgotten her past of being suppressed?

"Come on, come up here first, help me pick out an outfit."

At this moment, Ajani breathed softly and whispered in Li Changhe's ear.

Since we're going to play, of course we should play for higher stakes.

Actually, she was also a little tempted, after all, she had only heard about some things before, but had never experienced them herself.

Soon, in the bedroom upstairs, Li Changhe helped her choose an outfit she had carefully prepared. Then he went downstairs and gave instructions to the nanny and the others. Afterwards, Ajani got into Li Changhe's car and returned to Li Changhe's villa.

That night, the civilizations of East and West began to collide, and songs from the arts circles of East and West rose and fell, vying for brilliance, until the voices of the singers became hoarse.

Early in the morning, Li Changhe walked out of her bedroom feeling refreshed. She hadn't had much fun lately, since she had been busy with Gong Xue's affairs all by herself. This time, she finally had some fun.

"Sir, Miss Anna has arrived."

At this moment, a servant came over and respectfully addressed Li Changhe.

"Let her come over, I'll wait for her at the restaurant."

Li Changhe then went to the restaurant, where the Filipino maid brought out the breakfast that had been prepared in advance.

Just as Li Changhe was eating, Anna walked in, clicking away in her high heels.

After not seeing her for a while, Li Changhe noticed that his secretary had become even more beautiful and had a more commanding presence.

It seems that her time working in Europe helped her improve a lot.

"Boss."

"Please sit down. Have you had breakfast? If not, you can have some with me."

Li Changhe said with a smile.

"Thank you, boss, I've already eaten."

"Boss, your schedule is a bit tight today. Since you haven't been to the US for a while, there are a lot of things to take care of."

"At 9:30 a.m., Bank of America wants to meet with you. Mr. James said he has something important to discuss with you."

“At 11 a.m., Mr. David from the Rockefeller family will arrive in Los Angeles and invite you to lunch. You previously said that you would reply to Mr. David first, so I accepted his lunch invitation on your behalf.”

"At 3 p.m., Los Angeles Mayor Richard will meet with you to further discuss several of your projects in Los Angeles."

Anna reported the events to Li Changhe one by one, and after listening, Li Changhe began to filter them.

Some appointments I can make, but others I just can't be bothered to see.

The Los Angeles mayor's approach to communication is utter nonsense; it's nothing more than trying to build relationships and see if he can get money or support commitments.

After telling Anna about his chosen itinerary, Li Changhe finished his meal and got up.

"Go and get the car ready first, I'll go change my clothes, and then we'll leave in a bit."

Afterwards, Li Changhe got up and went back to the bedroom, where Isabelle Adjani and Rosamund Kwan were curiously looking at each other.

Although we met last night, we didn't have time to talk; we were just comparing ourselves to each other. Now, we finally have the energy to properly examine each other.

"Huh? You two are awake?"

"That's perfect. You can get familiar with the area today, or you can go for a stroll around the city."

"I have a lot of work to do today, let's have dinner together tonight."

Li Changhe chuckled and said something, then changed into a more formal suit, turned around and walked out.

He didn't care whether the two women got along or not; as long as they got along in front of him, that was enough.

However, to be fair, the combination of Isabelle Adjani and Rosamund Kwan is quite different from that of Zhu Lin and Gong Xue.

These two people have a unique charm.

With these thoughts in mind, Li Changhe went downstairs and then walked out of the villa.

A long line of cars was already waiting and parked in front of the villa.

Anna opened the car door, Li Changhe got in, and then the convoy slowly drove out of the manor.

"By the way, Anna, could you help me contact a few of the larger accounting firms in the US? I have some business I'd like to entrust to them."

Li Changhe gave Anna another instruction from inside the car.

Now that we're in the US, there are a lot of things to take care of!
