After dinner, Chen Xia took the pregnant woman for a walk on the farm to help digest the food.
The girl who studies art has a simple mind like Chen Xia. She doesn't know how many cattle and sheep the farm has now, nor does she remember how many acres of wheat, tomatoes and other crops are planted.
I just know that I lost about $300,000 in the past six months. After all, I had been investing all the time, but the output was still very small.
"Chen Xia, do you think I'm stupid? I can't even run a farm and I've lost so much."
Chen Xia thought, if you keep looking for inspiration every day and painting everywhere without paying attention to production, it would be strange if the farm can make money. Of course, he couldn't say that.
"It's okay. Your husband is very capable of making money now. You can make as many dollars as you want. After you're done, let the three children go with you to become wandering street painters. Haha."
"Hmph, you look down on me. Let me tell you, my paintings are very valuable now. I even had a solo exhibition a few months ago. Now I can support my children on my own without relying on the farm."
Chen Xia deliberately exaggerated, "Is Painter Xu so amazing? Please support me."
"Haha, you are still so shameless~~~"
Xu Yuan's paintings are indeed very popular now, but this is also related to hype.
In order to prevent her from being lonely in the United States, Chen Xia specially commissioned a professional art exhibition company through Citibank to help run the exhibition.
Chen Xia pays the money, and the art exhibition company will help you promote it in the media, build momentum in advance, hold the exhibition, invite various celebrities to attend, etc. It is a one-stop service.
Even if you have enough money, it wouldn't be a problem for us to invite a few former American presidents to attend your event.
The art market is just like the entertainment industry. If someone praises you, you can rise to the top and your paintings will be valuable. This is a virtuous interaction.
Otherwise, how many people can understand Picasso's abstract paintings? Is Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" really as great as everyone says?
There is a very ironic plot in "Mr. Bean's Great Disaster". Mr. Bean went to the United States and was mistakenly mistaken for a great painter by outsiders.
So no matter what he painted, even if it was a pile of dog shit, outsiders considered it a work of art and praised it highly. Even the random things he said during a speech were considered the artistic insights of a modern painter.
This is the art world, not much better than the entertainment world.
Xu Yuan can now sell a painting for tens of thousands of dollars. In a year, earning millions of dollars is no big deal.
This is definitely considered above middle class in the United States. You have to know that the average annual income of ordinary Americans is only $20,000.
Seeing how good she is at "making money", no wonder she is so arrogant and says that she can support three children by herself.
Looking at the little girl in front of him who was lively again and full of laughter, Chen Xia felt relieved.
Perhaps in her previous life, Xu Yuan would also accept the family's arrangement, but she would live alone in a foreign country, leading a poor and lonely life. Perhaps one day she would die alone in a foreign country.
Because of his appearance in this life, her original trajectory was changed. She would have her own lover, her own children, and her own career.
After all, Chen Xia changed the lives of many people, including Gu Lin's life and Xu Yuan's life, but what was really changed was Chen Xia's own life.
When the two returned to the villa, the phone suddenly rang.
When Xu Yuan picked up the phone and heard the voice on the line, her expression became noticeably happy for a moment, but then it dimmed and became cold.
"Dad, I'm fine in America... I don't need you to come see me... What? You're in Los Angeles right now?"
Xu Yuan's voice suddenly rose several degrees, and she became a little panicked. She put down the phone and immediately held Chen Xia's hand:
"What should I do? My dad is visiting the United States with a delegation, and my mom is coming along too. They've already learned from the relevant authorities that I live on this farm, and they said they're going to come visit me tomorrow, but I, but I..."
Xu Yuan touched her belly and suddenly panicked. Her good upbringing since childhood made her not know how to explain to her parents that she was pregnant before marriage.
If her parents knew about this, they would be furious. If her "fiancé" Li's family knew about this, it would be a huge event.
Chen Xia was also scratching his head. He knew Xu Hongtai very well and had always taken care of him, but he ended up getting someone else's daughter pregnant?
This is really, really embarrassing.
I'm going to tear him to pieces when I get back this time. If you want to ask him for help next time, he'll definitely beat you out.
But the scumbag knew that he must not back down at this time, especially since his "girlfriend" was a pregnant woman. He could not be stimulated at all, and he could not disappoint her. He had to be responsible.
He had no choice but to go ahead with it. The Xu family should at least spare his life for the sake of the child in her belly.
"Xu Yuan, it's okay. Your parents will know about this sooner or later. In fact, you shouldn't blame them. If you hadn't come abroad, we wouldn't be able to meet again, and there would be no baby in your belly. Let's face it together."
Xu Yuan was still very anxious:
"No, no, this will affect your career in China. If my grandfather or the Li family finds out, you will be retaliated against."
"Why should I be afraid of retaliation? If they really want to retaliate against me, I can just immigrate to the United States. They can't reach out to the United States, right?"
"But……"
"It's nothing to worry about. Your parents are coming over tomorrow. Come, let's clean up. Well, the house is pretty clean..."
Chen Xia was already prepared. He would die tomorrow. It was his own fault for making such a big mistake.
The next morning, a black-plate car drove into the Jade Farm.
The first person to get out of the cab was Xu Rui. After getting out of the car, he stretched, looked at the charming rural scenery in front of him after autumn, and took a few deep breaths.
"Hey Dad, is Xiaoyuan really on this farm?"
Xu Taihong and his mother Tian Yue got out of the car together. Looking at the huge farm, they were lost in thought.
"Old man, how come that girl is living on a farm? Where did she get the money to buy a farm? Or did she secretly find an American boyfriend without telling us? What should we do..."
Xu Taihong was on a business visit to the United States, and Tian Yue and Xu Rui came with him. They had already found out their daughter's address in advance.
After all, she is their daughter. Even though they haven't seen her for several years and Xu Yuan rarely contacts her family, how can a parent not worry?
I took the opportunity to come along this time, firstly to see how she was doing, and secondly to do a surprise inspection.
Xu Hongtai is more understanding:
"Oh, what are you talking about? Don't you understand your own daughter? How could she do such a thing? She has suffered enough injustice over the years. You should be more careful with your words later."
The old father still feels sorry for his daughter.
But they also didn't know what kind of surprise their well-behaved daughter would give them.
