With a loud crash, the oil painting in the window fell down along with the easel.
The girl inside was at a loss for a moment, then quickly escaped from the window and ran into the inner room.
Chen Xia was about to shout out, but suddenly stopped. He mustered up the courage to push the door open and go in, but his steps became hesitant again.
Run away.
Chen Xia had just walked a block when he stood in the middle of the horse with a blank mind, ignoring the impatient honking of the cars next to him.
"Just die!"
Then he ran back regardless of everything and pushed open the door. The bell above the door rang "ding-ling". The person in the room looked up at Chen Xia and stood up suddenly.
"Long time...long time...no see..."
"Long time no see, Xu Yuan..."
Chen Xia suddenly saw that what was hanging around her neck was the imperial green glass jade pendant that he had given her that year.
(There should be background music at this time, Teresa Teng's "Sweet Honey")
In the middle of the night, on the rooftop of the gallery, Chen Xia and Xu Yuan were drinking and talking about their experiences over the years of separation.
Chen Xia talked about his career, his wife, and his adorable triplets.
Xu Yuan took a sip of wine and said with a smile:
"That's great! I envy you for having three children and a beautiful wife. That's great..."
Chen Xia looked at the city lights in the distance and asked, "What about you and your husband..."
Xu Yuan's smile suddenly turned somewhat bleak:
"Haha, you may not believe it, but in the US, we call it 'gay wives'."
"Gay wife?"
"Yes, he doesn't like women at all. Like me, he was forced by his family to marry me. In order to escape the control of his family, he took the initiative to ask us to study and settle abroad together.
As a result, when he arrived in the United States, he went to Columbia University on the East Coast and lived with his boyfriend. In order to stay away from him, I chose the California Institute of the Arts on the West Coast.
He also told me that we should each do our own thing and not interfere with each other, and not to tell my family. Haha, I have rarely contacted my family in recent years, and I opened a gallery here by myself, which is also good..."
what the fuck???
Chen Xia didn't know what to say for a moment.
He does not discriminate against gays. Everyone has different sexual orientation, and it is everyone's freedom, but you should not harm others.
Such a good girl was ruined just to cover up some special problems of his own.
Xu Yuan was so innocent and lively back then, and her voice was as sweet as a white bird.
Xu Yuan is now much more mature and depressed. Anyone would be heartbroken. She sacrificed her marriage, love and bright future for the benefit of her family, and after all this time she met a gay?
So much misfortune should not have befallen this beautiful and pure girl. She is only 25 years old this year.
Chen Xia didn’t know how to comfort Xu Yuan. He felt very distressed, but he was a married man now. What could he do?
Xu Yuan smiled instead: "Let's not talk about those unpleasant things. Come drink with me. We won't leave until we are drunk. I have never dared to get drunk alone for so many years. Today is a good day, haha."
Chen Xia clinked the bottle with hers and said, "Don't drink alone outside. Beautiful girls are prone to running into bad guys."
"Haha, no one can be worse than you. My third uncle said that you bought a thousand bottles of Moutai back then. You're so brave! Aren't you afraid of being arrested for speculation?"
"Catch me? The person who arrested me wasn't even born yet. Back then, I not only bought a thousand boxes of Moutai, but also bought 30 cows there. I made tens of thousands of dollars..."
"Wow, you were so rich back then, I can't believe it, you stingy guy, you only gave me an orange..."
Before they knew it, the two of them drank more and more, talked more and more excitedly, and got closer and closer...
In springtime in California, the stars in the sky are particularly dense, twinkling as if they are laughing at someone. Perhaps only the evening breeze can understand the stars' hints...
Chen Xia spent three days in California like this.
Day 4
Chen Xia took Xu Yuan with him and went to a farm under the guidance of an agency. The farm was located in central California and was a medium-sized farm of 3,000 acres that was for sale.
Xu Yuan fell in love with this place as soon as she got off the car. There were small hills, small woods, grasslands, several ponds, and several country villas in the distance. It was like a beautiful rural oil painting.
"Chen Xia, I love this place so much. This is the farm of my dreams."
Chen Xia was also quite interested in the farm. The poor Chinese people had an almost perverted obsession with the land.
Especially in the United States, all land is privately owned, which means that as long as you buy the land, you will be the "emperor" here.
The key is to invest in the farm to make money
The annual output of these agricultural and sideline industries and animal husbandry is negligible. Even if they are left idle every day, in ten or even dozens of years, the prices will rise rapidly and multiply several times.
What Xu Yuan likes is the beautiful scenery here and the peace and tranquility.
What Chen Xia wanted more was to give her an independent, carefree and happy living environment where she would not be disturbed by anyone.
Over the years, if it weren't for Xu Rui's funding, Xu Yuan's gallery in California would have closed down long ago.
After all, she is not a well-known painter, and the works of a 25-year-old Chinese girl are only liked by a limited number of people.
This also means that income is limited.
The man who brought her to the United States and left her alone on the West Coast would not give her a penny at all. He probably even forgot that he had such a "fiancée" now.
This made Chen Xia both angry and secretly happy. What made him angry was that even if he was gay, he should have been more responsible. How could he just abandon someone like that?
The good news is that because he is gay, he has never touched Xu Yuan.
Oh, man!
So when Xu Yuan said that she wanted to own a farm, be a happy farmer, and sleep with lambs in her arms every day, Chen Xia had a strong idea.
We must fulfill her wish.
In America, as long as you have money, you are the boss.
Especially when Chen Xia had an ltima ultra black card issued by Citibank.
This card was specially made for him by Chen Shuqin and is valid worldwide. It is said that with just one phone call, they can meet any request made by the customer as quickly as possible.
Chen Xia was unfamiliar with the United States, and this happened to be the headquarters of Citibank, so he tried to call the bank's customer service phone number for the first time.
He said he wanted to buy a farm near Los Angeles, and he also required it to be large, have a good environment, and convenient transportation.
As a result, the staff of Citibank found a place for him the next day and came to pick him up with an agent.
This speed and this service simply amazed Chen Xia.
In his previous life, poverty limited his imagination.
