Jin Xiyuan held Jin Taixi's hand, reluctant to let her go. "The company has so many things to do. If I go to the United States for vacation, all the business will be in chaos. Don't worry, I will definitely not be absent when you hold your wedding in Seoul next year."
Jin Xiyuan knew that Song Yi had also invited Jin's mother and Jin Hengzhu to go to the United States this time, and Song Yi's mother Zhou Shulan would also meet them in Los Angeles. The meeting between the two mothers has shown how much Song Yi cares about it, but Song Yi asked Jin Xiyuan not to tell Jin Tae-hee yet, as he wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise.
In order to let everyone have a pleasant holiday, Song Yi's private yacht Xinya has docked in advance at the Cabrillo Pier on the west coast of Westport, Los Angeles. Catalina Island near the pier is very suitable for a family vacation.
The clever Song Miao revealed the news in advance, and looked up and asked Song Yi, "Uncle, grandma will be waiting for us in Los Angeles, right?"
Kim Tae Hee suddenly became nervous, "Auntie, are you going to America too?"
Song Yi was happy. "It's not like you and my mom haven't met before. My mom hasn't seen Miaomiao for a few days and she's a little uncomfortable. After my dad was promoted to dean, he felt that his workload suddenly became busier. Bianzhou University also appointed my dad as assistant to the president. I guess it's for the cooperative education project with Yonsei University."
Kim Tae Hee asked her boyfriend, "By the way, I've been hearing from you that the two universities are planning to cooperate in running a school, but there has been no progress. How is the preparation going?"
"The Education Department of Liaozhong Province has approved it, and it has now been reported to the Ministry of Education for approval. My father and President Jin have been traveling to Yenching University quite often during this period. What the higher-ups mean now is that Yonsei University and Byeonju University will first set up an international class in the College of History and Culture of Byeonju University, using bilingual teaching in Chinese and Korean. After the students in the international class complete the first and second year undergraduate basic courses, they will be arranged to go to Yonsei University to complete the rest of their undergraduate education." Song Yi said.
Kim Tae-hee was envious, "It's great that they can experience the history, culture, customs and customs of two different countries and appreciate the different natural scenery of the two places during their university years."
"Our Fashion Design Department at Seoul National University also has places for further studies at Parsons School of Design in New York. If I were ranked according to my grades, I would have been able to get a place. However, I felt that other students in the major needed this place more than I did, so I gave up," said Kim Tae-hee.
Song Yi understood what Kim Tae-hee meant. South Korea itself is the most inward-looking country in East Asia. Ordinary families would even use 60% of their entire family income to enroll their children in cram schools, hoping that they could be admitted to the three famous SKY schools to achieve a leap in life class.
For Kim Tae-hee at the moment, she is already a nationally renowned advertising actress and has also achieved success in the musical industry. In the second half of the year, she will star in the big-budget Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum" produced by New Asia Pictures.
For Kim Tae-hee, fashion design is just a hobby of hers. Sooner or later, she will become a top Korean actress comparable to Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo.
Kim Tae-hee can easily get the place for further study that her classmates in the same major are longing for. Perhaps Kim Tae-hee will consider creating her own personal clothing brand after retiring from the acting industry, and she will need to go to a world-renowned fashion school for further study, but at that time she certainly won't need the recommendation of Seoul University.
The journey from Incheon Airport to Los Angeles is quite long. It is also Song Miao’s first time to take such a long flight. She was a little curious at first and wanted to have a private chat with Kim Tae-hee, but in the end she couldn’t resist the sleepiness and fell asleep.
Jin Taixi looked at the sleeping Song Miao and pulled the blanket on her up again, "Miao Miao looks so well behaved when she's asleep."
Song Yi teased his girlfriend, "I want a caring little cotton-padded jacket like Miaomiao. It's okay. We will work hard in the second half of the year and we will be able to have a baby next year. My mother will want to help me take care of the child."
Kim Tae Hee and Song Yi have been sleeping together for so long that she has long known her boyfriend's thick skin. The more shy you are, the more he likes to tease you. "I'm not afraid of going to the wedding next year with a big belly, but how do you know that the first child must be a girl?"
Song Yi continued to tease his girlfriend, "That's fine. I want to have a daughter anyway. If the first one doesn't work, I'll have another one. It would be best if it's like your family, with one son and two daughters. It would be great to have both sons and daughters to make a perfect couple."
Kim Tae Hee thought about it seriously and said, "No, I want to have a son first and then a sister. My sister and I have always taken good care of Hyung Soo, so I want to have a son to take care of and protect my sister."
"It's okay. If you give birth to a son, we two will protect you together. If you give birth to a daughter, I will protect you and your mother."
"Actually, you can have as many children as you want. It mainly depends on you. No matter it's a boy or a girl, I will raise him well. I don't have the traditional idea of passing on the genealogy to boys but not girls." Song Yi comforted his girlfriend.
Kim Tae Hee knew that Song Yi's words came from his heart and were not just casual remarks. Song Yi, apart from being a bit of a playboy, was indeed a better man than his father.
Before Kim Hee-won joined Korean Air, her mother had suggested that she return to Tongyun Logistics, but Kim Yu-moon refused. Like most Korean men, Kim Yu-moon believed that his daughter, who was going to get married in the future, was not qualified to inherit the family business.
Because Song Yi and Kim Tae-hee were taking a Korean Air international flight this time, a small incident occurred when they got off the plane.
Before Song Yi walked out of the cabin, a tall flight attendant said goodbye to him in fluent Chinese, "Thank you, President Song, for taking this Korean Air flight. I wish you a pleasant journey to the United States."
Song Yi paused, glanced at the name tag on the right side of the stewardess, and responded in Chinese, "Do you know me?"
The stewardess smiled and said, "I'm Lee Bo Na. I used to be a colleague in the same crew as Executive Director Kim Hee Won. We often flew to Tokyo together and often had dinner together after the flight. We are pretty good friends."
Song Yi felt a little strange. If Lee Bo Na knew Kim Hee Won, there was no reason why she didn't know her sister Kim Tae Hee. Then why didn't Lee Bo Na come over to say hello to Kim Tae Hee during the flight? Although the airline stipulated that the crew should not disturb the passengers in the first class cabin, after all, there were many wealthy businessmen, dignitaries and celebrities in it.
Li Baona took the initiative to stretch out her hand and shook hands with Song Yi. "In fact, when Xiyuan just left Korean Air and joined Xinya Entertainment, her former colleagues laughed at her for having poor taste. Now it's too late for those colleagues who laughed at her to curry favor with her. President Song, please say hello to Xiyuan for me."
Song Yi noticed that there was a note hidden in Li Baona's palm and left calmly, "I know, I will tell her."
After Song Yi landed, Jin Taixi asked her boyfriend with concern, "Why, did you meet someone you know just now?"
Song Yi looked calm, "Oh, I just ran into Xiyuan's former colleague. She seemed to recognize me and asked about Xiyuan's recent situation. She asked her if she had a boyfriend. If she was planning to get married, remember to send her an invitation so that she can prepare a gift."
Kim Tae-hee had no doubts, Kim Hee-won also used to fly international flights, so it was normal to meet a former colleague of her sister.
Song Yi and his group went through security first. Everyone's luggage was carefully checked, even Song Miao's small backpack. It seemed that after the 9/11 incident last year, the security intensity of American airports had been upgraded again.
After Kim Tae-hee walked out of the security check passage, she noticed that Kim's mother and Kim Hyun-soo were already waiting for her outside.
Perhaps because she was in a foreign country, Kim Tae-hee couldn't hold back her emotions. She immediately ran over and hugged Kim's mother, "Ou Ma, why didn't you tell me that you came to Los Angeles?"
Mother Jin patted her daughter's shoulder warmly, "Okay, okay, you are an adult, but you still act like a child. We set out from Busan and came here specially to meet up with you. I wanted to tell you, but Song Yi and Xiyuan wouldn't let me, saying they wanted to give you a surprise."
Kim Tae Hee still held her mother's hand and refused to let go, "No matter how old I am, I am still a child in front of my mother."
Jin Hengzhu was still waiting for his sister to come and say hello to him, but Jin Taexi said with a disgusted expression: "Didn't you go to Seoul to watch the World Cup last time? Why did you come with us again this time? You eat and drink with us every day. You are a tall guy, but you don't know how to go out and find a part-time job to experience the hard work of work. Do you have the nerve to do that?"
Kim Hyung-soo didn't expect Kim Tae-hee to say this, and he felt like he had been hit hard. "Sister, I came here to witness your happy moment. Do you have the heart to hurt your own brother like this?"
Kim Tae Hee certainly knew Song Yi's intention of inviting Kim's mother and Kim Hyung Soo to come, she just felt embarrassed for her family to take advantage of Song Yi. If you count the round-trip airfare and hotel accommodation, it will cost at least tens of thousands of dollars, she just used a joking tone to ease the embarrassment.
It was the first time that Kim Hyung Soo was called uncle by a child. He touched his head a little embarrassedly. After all, he was still just a student.
Song Yi's bodyguard Cha Tae-sik came over and said to Song Yi, "Chairman, the motorcade has arrived. The old lady has prepared the dinner at the manor, and Miss Lee Ha-ni is helping."
After hearing this, Kim Tae Hee asked Song Yi, "Is Lee Ha Ni here too?"
Song Yi said, "Although it's just a small wedding that's not open to the public, I think you might still need a bridesmaid, so I invited her in advance. After all, Hyun-jin is busy with work, and she can't come to the United States."
Only then did Kim Tae-hee realize how much trouble a caring boyfriend had solved for her. She then remembered another key word in the bodyguard, "estate", and asked, "Did you buy a house in Los Angeles?"
"I bought an estate in Rancho Palos Verde, which is located on a cliff. Next to it is the Trump International Golf Club. Hyung Soo, when we are free in the next two days, let's go to the golf course next door to play a few rounds. This is the only top golf course in Los Angeles located on the winding coastal cliffs." Song Yi turned to Jin Hyung Soo and said.
Palos Verdes (PV Island for short) is a small coastal town located in the southwest corner of Los Angeles County, on the Pacific coast of Southern California. It is also a famous wealthy area in Los Angeles. The total population of the city is more than 40,000, of which Asians account for 28%. Shin Cine Comunications' representative director Shin Cheol moved to PV Island to settle down after selling his company.
Song Yi personally prefers this kind of sea view mansion located on the cliff, and the best sea view mansions in Los Angeles are located in Malibu and PV Island. The sea view villa that Song Yi bought in Malibu has been registered under Chen Fuzhen's name.
He also did not plan to continue to buy property in Malibu. If Kim Tae-hee brought her children to the United States for vacation in the future and suddenly found that her neighbor was Chen Fuzhen, it would be very embarrassing. So to be safe, Song Yi bought a private manor in PV Island.
On the way to the manor, Song Yi introduced the situation of PV Island to Kim Tae Hee. "Standing on our balcony, you can enjoy the magnificent sea view. If you are lucky, you can also see whales at sunset."
"Across from PV Island is Catalina Island. The Xinya is already docked at the Cabrillo Pier near the manor. When we pick a good day, our family will go out to sea for a few days. On the return trip, we will go to Catalina Island again. Miaomiao will definitely like playing on the island, and maybe we can meet a lot of new friends by then." Song Yi said.
After listening to Song Yi's introduction, Kim Tae-hee's heart was numb. She knew that Song Yi was very rich. The villa in Seongbuk-dong alone cost tens of billions of won, but compared with this seaside manor on PV Island, it was just child's play.
This estate on PV Island covers an area of 3 acres (about 12,141 square meters), of which the main area of the villa is 17,000 feet, and the entire villa is decorated in a modern style.
The villa is located halfway up the mountain on PV Island. The three-story villa's boundless floor-to-ceiling windows offer a 270-degree view of the beach. A free-form infinity pool and an unobstructed sun terrace hang over the cliff, and the manor also has many precious trees and palm trees.
In addition to the swimming pool, the manor is also equipped with a basketball court, tennis court and gym. Not only that, the manor even built a stable with several quarter horses, and Song Yi can ride a horse to stroll around the area when he is free.
When Song Yi's motorcade arrived at the manor villa, Song Miao immediately noticed the horses in the manor. It was also the first time for her to see a horse outside the zoo. She said to Song Yi in surprise: "Uncle, look, there are big horses over there."
Song Yi smiled, "Yes, these are the horses that I raise. When you have rested well tomorrow, I will ask the horse trainer to take you for a ride around the area, okay?"
When Song Miao heard what Song Yi said, he began to question, "Uncle, this is your first time in Los Angeles too. How could these horses be raised by you? You wouldn't let me finish my summer homework before you let me ride horses like my mom did, would you?"
It was also the first time for Kim's mother to see such a large luxury house. For the first time, she clearly realized the difference in status between her daughter Kim Tae-hee and Song Yi.
In fact, Kim Tae-hee's family is considered a wealthy family in South Korea, but even if Kim Yu-moon works hard all his life, he can't buy a super luxury house worth tens of millions of dollars on the South Coast of California.
Moreover, Jin Yuwen's Tongyun Logistics has become the most important logistics partner of Xinya Network. Whether the business scale of Tongyun Logistics can be further expanded depends on the vigorous development of Souhan.com.
Jin Yuwen spoke the truth after drinking at home, "Others praised me for raising two good daughters. For me, Taehee's admission to Seoul University is the happiest thing, and now Taehee has found a capable son-in-law like Song Yi. I didn't expect that I, Jin Yuwen, would have the opportunity to benefit from my son-in-law."
Obviously, both Kim Hyung-soo and Kim Yu-moon are very satisfied with Song Yi, the future son-in-law. Kim Yu-moon has also heard about the rumors about Song Yi and Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo, but he believes that men can achieve great things without being fussy about small matters, and as long as they know the right degree, it's okay for them to be a little romantic.
For Kim's mother, she is not actually worried about other girls like Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo. She is actually more worried about her eldest daughter, Kim Hee-won.
Now that Kim Tae Hee's lifelong event has finally been resolved, Song Yi is willing to register with Kim Tae Hee in the United States, which has already shown his attitude. He has always been dating Kim Tae Hee with the purpose of marrying her, and the current result is a natural outcome.
Since Tae Hee has found a boyfriend, Kim's mother naturally starts to worry about her eldest daughter, Kim Hee Won's marriage. Kim Hee Won is already 25 years old this year, but she doesn't even have a boyfriend and is devoted to her work.
Jin Xiyuan seemed to be very resistant to her mother introducing other young men to her. In her words, "Mom, you talk about how good these boys are every day, but their annual income is not even half of mine."
"Tell those boys that I own a top-notch apartment worth 4 billion won in Seocho-dong, drive a 300 million won Maserati, and my annual salary plus dividends are no less than 1 billion won. Ask them where they get the confidence to go on a blind date with me?" Kim Hee-won asked bluntly.
Mother Jin sensed her daughter's resistance, and when she mentioned this to her husband Jin Yuwen, Jin Yuwen advised her not to rush, "Xiyuan is right. With her current conditions, it won't be a problem for her to marry the president of a listed company or the prince of a chaebol family. She is only 25 this year, and she still has time to choose."
"Song Yi is from a modern family, so he has a wide range of interpersonal relationships. Ask him to help introduce some people. His circle includes either the sons of ministers or the heirs of chaebol families." Jin Yuwen said.
When Jin's mother heard Jin Yuwen say this, she really wanted to give her husband a slap. If Song Yi was really willing to introduce someone to Xiyuan, how could Xiyuan be single until now?
She now actually regrets agreeing to Jin Xiyuan's resignation from Korean Air and going to work for Xinya. Now the outside world says that Jin Xiyuan is Song Yi's most capable assistant in the company and the famous "Iron Lady" of Xinya Media Real Estate Group. It is said that although she looks sweet, she is efficient and resolute in work, and she is ruthless in negotiations and sticks to her principles and refuses to give in.
Mother Jin is worried that because of her work, Jin Xiyuan has too many opportunities and time to interact with Song Yi, and the two will eventually fall in love.
She noticed early on that Jin Xiyuan and her conversations always involved the company's business and the name Song Yi. Jin Xiyuan's first car, the Hyundai Elantra, was also given by Song Yi.
Mother Jin also learned that after Song Yi bought a villa in Seongbuk-dong, Jin Xiyuan moved to the villa and lived with Song Yi and others. Later, Jin Xiyuan bought a house in Seocho-dong, and then Jin Xiyuan moved out. And did Jin Xiyuan really buy the house in Seocho District herself? As a person who has been through it, Mother Jin has noticed that Jin Xiyuan has changed from a girl to a woman. Jin Xiyuan, who is often nourished by love, has become more and more radiant. Mother Jin certainly knows what happened to Jin Xiyuan, so why did Jin Xiyuan hide the fact that she has a boyfriend? Now there are two possibilities. The first is that the identity of Jin Xiyuan’s boyfriend may not be convenient to be announced to the public. Jin Xiyuan is worried that her family will not be able to accept it for a while, so she deliberately conceals it. The second possibility is that Jin Xiyuan is willing to be the underground lover of a big shot, and this big shot still has a family. This speculation undoubtedly makes Mother Jin even more heartbroken.
Kim's mother came to the United States this time to find out about Kim Hee-won's mysterious boyfriend through Kim Tae-hee. She actually guessed Song Yi, but as soon as this idea came up, it was immediately ruled out.
Kim Hee-won and Kim Tae-hee have such a good relationship, it is impossible for Kim Hee-won to interfere with the relationship between her sister Kim Tae-hee and Song Yi and become a third party. Unless Kim Tae-hee knows and agrees that her sister Kim Hee-won and Song Yi are together, but is it really possible for two sisters who have received a complete college education to date Song Yi together? Kim's mother was worried. She really felt that she was about to get to know the truth, but she didn't dare to expose it.
This isn't a mall promotion where you get one for free. If Jin Yuwen knew that Song Yi bought small and lost big, would he still be embarrassed to praise Song Yi as a good son-in-law? I'm asking for your recommendation votes. I hope everyone who has votes will vote for it. See you tomorrow.
