Chapter 319 October
Now that I'm back in Boston, no matter what the reason is, I came here.
Milo certainly wouldn't leave immediately after attending the Harvard celebration.
No matter what, this is actually his real base.
Especially now, after he led Boston to two big wins in California and Chicago.
Even more so.
Feast, there will be unlimited feasting as long as he wants.
Many are even difficult to turn down.
Not that their face was too much for even Milo to refuse.
But even Milo needs to unite the people around him by attending some banquets or taking the initiative to host some cocktail parties.
Just like the Chinese like to do things at the dinner table.
99% of Westerners' social interactions come from various banquets, cocktail parties or parties.
This is probably because Westerners, especially the Anglo-Saxon civilization that now dominates Western culture, were reincarnated from pirate culture.
In the early pirate culture, if they didn’t have a meal, they would hold a banquet to celebrate when they stole something good.
This is how the current banquet culture came into being.
This is very different from the family-oriented Chinese culture.
In Chinese culture, banquets are held to entertain many guests only when there are major celebrations.
Generally speaking, a table with no more than a dozen or twenty people can be used for business.
It was late at night when Milo returned to his home in his fleet of Cadillacs after attending a party hosted by the Adams Family.
The mansion of Blackburn Manor was brightly lit, making everything as bright as day.
But as he walked through this grand mansion that belonged to him, Milo still felt a little alienated.
Well, it's because there are indeed fewer people living here.
There's actually not many people at home right now.
Joseph and his wife lived in Washington, after all, he was the Secretary of Defense.
Old Blackburn has been living in Boston almost all the time recently because of his campaign.
Hayley and the kids are in San Francisco, naturally.
So Blackburn House is now quite empty.
But fortunately, Ariana moved in directly recently.
At this moment, Ariana was sitting in front of the piano in the corner of the hall, looking at the piano music score, seemingly killing time.
"Honey, I don't know when you started liking music."
Looking at Ariana's increasingly slender figure, Milo greeted her in a joking tone and then walked over. "So, can you play a song for your poor husband?"
"I can't play, Milo, you know that." Ariana answered without turning her head, "I'm just looking at the music score here. I just thought that we have to hire a musician for our home, otherwise sometimes it feels that this empty hall is quite quiet. Besides, we can't hire musicians from outside every time we hold a banquet in the future, right?"
No matter what era it is, real upper-class women in the West do not boast about being able to play the piano.
On the contrary, they generally think that being a musician is a lowly profession that can only bring them artistic enjoyment but is not worthy of respect.
Women who are proud of their ability to play the piano are usually nouveau riche or middle-class elites.
"Oh? Really? Okay!" Milo shrugged indifferently, then hugged his fiancée's shoulders from behind. "Then it's up to you. If you like us, just hire as many as you need. By the way, speaking of this, it's a bit of a coincidence."
"Oh? What coincidence?"
"Isn't your birthday coming up soon?"
"You still remember this? Yes, there is still a week left."
"That's fine, it proves that I'm not mistaken."
Milo smiled: "Just now at the Adams' house, I told them that I was planning to hold a birthday party for you in Boston!"
"Huh?" Ariana was surprised.
"Besides..." Milo smiled, "I invited many people on the spot. I am also planning to invite more people, even all the guests who are willing to come."
"Wow, I, I really..." Ariana didn't know how to answer.
Celebrate birthdays, hold parties and so on.
Of course, this has happened to her before.
Although David has many granddaughters, the Rockefeller family has even more daughters.
But Ariana was the more favored one before, and she became even more favored after marrying Milo.
It was during this period of time that my identity became a little awkward.
But it's only during this period of time.
So naturally, the Rockefeller family held many birthday parties for her.
But after all, she is just Rockefeller's granddaughter, and the scale of her business only covers the New York area.
Most of the participants were ladies and ladies from New York's "Four Hundred Families".
At most, some of her close friends could be added, such as Mellon's daughter and Morgan's granddaughters.
Now Milo actually said that he would hold a birthday party for her.
It was held for her at the symbolically rich Blackburn Manor.
It seems that he will entertain many guests, and he should invite them based on his status.
Although it hasn't happened yet, Ariana can already imagine the grand occasion.
"There's only one week left. We should start preparing. We can't let outsiders laugh at us for not knowing etiquette." Milo bent down slightly and put his cheek close to Ariana's ear. "I forgot to discuss this with you in advance. Sorry!"
"I, I... this is a surprise for me." Ariana said, "Should we invite Laura or Haley back?"
Generally speaking, large families hold cocktail parties and parties.
The level of the guests is the glory of the men in the family.
The various arrangements and excitement of the cocktail party are all about the face of the hostess of the family.
Old Black is a widower, and Lola is Milo's mother, so the current matriarch of the Blackburn family is naturally Lola Bush Blackburn.
A cocktail party of this level requires Laura to come back in person to host it and do the preparations.
You can't push such trivial things to men who have more important jobs, right?
"No, it's your turn this time. Because you are the future mistress of this house. You have to take on this responsibility, don't you?" Milo smiled.
"I, I'll do it?!" Ariana widened her beautiful eyes, obviously a little shocked, "But, but I haven't yet..."
"That's not important. You're my wife, honey, and that's what matters."
"But, but I have no experience!"
Although I had watched my mother and grandmother host various cocktail parties at home and was familiar with the various procedures.
This aspect is also included in the etiquette training given to them by the maids.
She and her sisters in the family have also organized some small parties and cocktail parties, which can be regarded as advance familiarity or practice.
But that was just the level of their birthday party at most.
Like now, a cocktail party held in Milo's name at a place like Blackburn House.
The level must be very high, it can even be said to be one of the highest-level cocktail parties in the United States.
Milo now said that he would let her handle this level of cocktail party——
Even though there would definitely be a very professional team to assist her, Ariana still couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"It's okay. Don't worry." Milo waved his hand proudly, "No one will find fault with you. No one. Because now they need my help, they will never dare to do anything wrong."
It's like if someone was lucky enough to attend a Morgan or Rockefeller, or a very high-level cocktail party.
But at the party, Morgan or Rockefeller was not well prepared, or something went wrong.
But the guests would never find fault with them, at least not publicly.
Even if it is a mistake, they will praise it with nice words.
It's a question of status.
The same thing applies to Milo now.
"You can say that." Seeing Milo's proud look, Ariana couldn't help laughing, "If I really make trouble, they won't dare to say anything about you, but they will definitely say that Rockefeller's daughter is incompetent and Blackburn's future hostess is not professional enough."
"No, I won't. I'd rather fight them than let you be laughed at."
Milo complimented his fiancée without hesitation, "Besides, seeing such a beautiful and elegant lady, how dare those people complain? I don't believe it!"
This compliment made Ariana laugh.
So she was fascinated all of a sudden. After all, this was the only thing that the women in the top Celestial Dragon circle pursued.
They disdain and will not appear in various news like the so-called socialites such as Ivana and Paris.
They also don't show off their wealth in public or do anything like that.
Their number is neither too many nor too few, and there are only a few hundred people of the same kind who can be compared with them.
They also live far away from each other.
Only some grand national cocktail parties can occasionally bring them together.
Then just compare it like a peacock spreading its tail.
What can it compare to?
Comparing their looks? Actually, they both look pretty good. One has good genes after a long period of selection. The other has plenty of money, and has the best medical treatments, makeup, and clothes.
An ugly person can also become a little beauty.
Therefore, the only things that can be compared are the abilities of the husbands they married and whether the children they gave birth to are outstanding enough.
Or the various "professions" in their circles.
For example, as the mistress of the house, hosting and organizing a perfect large-scale cocktail party.
Now that the opportunity was in front of her, Ariana became very excited.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Seeing her eyes shining, Milo also laughed.
Look, how easy it is to satisfy her. Even if she is a Rockefeller, with such a family background.
But she is still a woman after all, and the status of women in Western society is only slightly better than that in African tribes.
Ariana is indeed smart and has a good family.
But he is no longer the Milo who needed the identity of Rockefeller's son-in-law to show off himself three years ago.
He could already make Ariana honored as his fiancée.
Isn't this one of the motivations for him to keep working hard as a man? But after all, there is still a week left, and he won't stay in Boston forever.
Transportation is so convenient now, private jets can fly anywhere.
Just come back a day earlier when the cocktail party is about to start.
After handing the job over to Ariana, Milo returned to New York the next day.
In October in New York, autumn is in full swing.
On the streets of Manhattan, the wind blows through the towering skyscrapers with a hint of coolness. The sunlight shines on the glass curtain walls, reflecting dazzling light, outlining the unique splendor and prosperity of this city.
Vehicles flow like a stream and pedestrians hurry by, playing the vibrant melody of the city.
The Central Park not far away seems like a pure land forgotten by time.
The golden leaves swayed on the branches, fell down, and covered the ground with a soft carpet.
The outlines of high-rise buildings in the distance form a spectacular silhouette against the backdrop of the park.
The afterglow dyed the surface of the park's lake golden and sparkling. Occasionally, a few ducks swam by, causing ripples, adding a bit of agility and poetry to the autumn scenery.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Minlo withdrew his gaze, and behind him was Nicky Hilton who was breastfeeding and her sister Paris Hilton who was pregnant.
"How is it? Are you satisfied with the life here? To be honest, I don't think it's suitable to stay in New York for pregnancy, childbirth and raising children. The climate in San Francisco is better. If you really want to be closer to New York, you can also choose Long Island."
He walked towards the two sisters with a smile, hugged the pregnant Paris and kissed her, then looked at Nikki who was breastfeeding.
The Hilton sisters, of course, were also pregnant.
Nikki was a month early and had just given birth a little over a week ago.
Paris is about a month away from giving birth.
Originally, Milo wanted them to go to San Francisco to have children.
The weather there is really good.
But these two sisters are like giving birth to children, and they are unwilling to leave Manhattan.
In the end, Milo had to find a Manhattan townhouse across the street from Central Park to have their children.
After all, we can't let Blackburn's child be born in Sheldon's house, right? And the location of this house is really good. It is six stories high. Standing on the fourth floor, you can see Central Park in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can take in the beauty of Jacob Rad Lake, the largest lake in the entire park.
"Humph! Don't think we don't know that you have a bunch of pregnant women in San Francisco!"
Paris: "You want us to go over there and give birth to babies with those pregnant women? That would make me feel like I'm one of the sows in a pig farm, giving birth to piglets together!"
"Uh..." Milo was speechless, "Your metaphor is really..."
"Okay." Nikki said softly from behind, "He's here after all, isn't he? And everyone knows how busy he was recently. That was the California consortium, the Chicago consortium, and many other consortiums!"
Yes, Paris is actually a little resentful of Milo now.
Because he wasn't there when Nikki gave birth, and he was still in California at the time.
Wait until Nikki can get out of bed and walk around.
He just came over now, and Paris didn't want this to happen when she gave birth, so she was deliberately getting angry for Milo.
After all, my belly is already very big.
I have been spoiled since I was a child, and I definitely have a spoiled temper. Not to mention the hormonal imbalance during pregnancy, which makes it difficult to control my emotions.
In comparison, Nikki's personality is more reserved.
Plus, she had already given birth to a child.
At this moment, looking at the child and the child's father, her heart and eyes are full of maternal love, which is naturally different from Paris.
"I didn't." Paris denied it, but her tone softened.
"Tsk, that's good." Milo smiled, holding her with one hand and reaching inside with the other hand.
Still not big enough.
This is true even in late pregnancy.
Ivana is a gifted person in this area.
It was big enough before giving birth, and it became ridiculously large after giving birth!
After dinner, Nikki took the children to bed.
To be honest, she gave birth to the child a little early.
It's just a racial issue, they are well developed.
Now that she has given birth to the child, she wants to do everything herself, raise and breastfeed the child, and says she wants to be a good mother.
So I do most of the things myself.
So Milo and Paris were left in the living room watching TV.
Paris took the remote control and pressed a few buttons randomly, eventually turning to a channel of Universal Television, which is owned by Paladin Media.
Paris couldn't help but ask, "It seems to be a new TV series? I heard that you are the screenwriter of this TV series, but your name doesn't seem to be on it?"
Milo looked closely and saw that it was "Shameless".
It was indeed he who asked Turner to produce this TV series.
He also suggested the plot idea.
However, he did not participate in the actual plot creation because the TV series was too shameless and pornographic.
It's a disgrace to his reputation.
"I just proposed an idea. I'm not a screenwriter. Tsk, there's already an interview. I hope the ratings of tomorrow's premiere will be satisfactory." Milo picked up the remote control, turned up the TV volume, and said while leaning on the sofa with his arm around Paris.
"Why is this drama so good? Perhaps it's because it refreshes everyone's new understanding of how tragic life can be.
It is against chicken soup, against high-sounding and perfect things, and it is fearless and completely shatters all fantasies about a good life..."
A narration sounded on TV, followed by a super exciting trailer.
"…my oldest sister Fiona, who has dated 94 boyfriends…"
"puff--"
Paris' eyes widened and she burst into laughter. She stared at the TV and said, "This, this is too much... There is no limit to this!"
Seeing her reaction, Milo thought that he was not included in the original trajectory, and she had had quite a few boyfriends.
But I can't say that now.
Because she got herself into bed before she even had a real boyfriend.
Now I am still pregnant and want to give birth to a child...
"Haha, very good, the way we want to live is to be violent!" Milo laughed happily as he watched the familiar plot.
"To live is to fight against everything with a shameless face..."
"…All the unspeakable content you can think of or can't think of is here! Please look forward to the most shameless and obscene drama of the year - "Shameless" will be on prime time on October 11. How shameless can a person be? The Gallagher family will tell you the answer!"
The exciting trailer ends with a family photo of the actors all raising their middle fingers.
"Oh my God, I'm looking forward to this series, it's so, so..." Paris stared at the TV in amazement, then turned to look at Milo beside her, speechless for some reason.
"Haha..." Milo laughed triumphantly.
At the same time, people across the United States who were watching the show on TV were shocked by the crazy trailer.
The trailer alone is enough to make people burst into laughter, with all kinds of indecent and shameless scenes and lines, it's simply crazy! (End of this chapter)
