Chapter 086 Mysterious Birthday Gift (2)

After drawing with Manchester United away from home and learning that today was Wang Li's birthday, the players' minds immediately flew back to Wolverhampton, because today's dinner was inevitable, and most importantly, it would definitely be free.

Just as they thought, Dave Jones generously treated the players to a meal today and celebrated Wang Li's birthday at the same time. However, he also knew that he had little in common with these young people, so he went straight back to the club after paying the bill.

After Dave Jones left, the players let loose and started eating and drinking.

The drinking table is another battlefield for men. The most important thing is of course a drinking contest. Miller, Harrison and Pete all knew a little about Wang Li's drinking capacity, so they all consciously kept silent.

But the other players didn't know, especially the old **worm Iverson, and the captain Kennedy and the others who were determined to get the birthday boy Wang Li drunk today!

The result was of course tragic. They all fell to the ground. Miller was kind enough to drive his SUV and send them directly to the club. As for what would happen tomorrow, it was none of his business.

…………

Signed footballs, hardcover playing cards, wide bracelets, suits, photo albums and even genuine porn star CDs, these miscellaneous things were the birthday gifts given to Wang Li by his teammates. He was very helpless about this, but he still put them away carefully. This was the first gift he received after coming to this world (Wilbur's money did not count), and it was very memorable for him.

After returning to his residence, Wang Li immediately opened the mailbox in front of the door.

There were several small hardcover packages in the mailbox. He immediately took them into the house, put them away carefully, and slowly unpacked them with an inquiring mood.

I opened the first package and found a hardcover fountain pen inside.

"Wang Li, you are 17 years old now and have your own business. Dad gave you this pen in the hope that you will use your brain more when doing things in the future, so that you can think more comprehensively and seriously."

Wang Li smiled when he saw Wang Hai's message. Perhaps to remind Wang Li not to forget that he has half Chinese blood in his body, Wang Hai's message was also written in Chinese characters. This touched Wang Li a little, but at the same time, he thought of his national team issue. His firm heart was shaken, but then he thought that there was almost no future for him to join the Chinese national team, so he gave up the idea.

The second package contained a ring. A diamond ring? Wang Li was very confused. Could such a special gift be given to anyone? Who could it be?

"Alan, your mother gave you this ring because she hopes you can find your other half as soon as possible. Give it to her as a gift. This is a token of love between your father and me..."

After reading Tina's message, Wang Li scratched his head speechlessly. Tina's ideas are indeed different from those of normal people. You know, Wang Li has just turned 17 years old. Even if he wants to have a grandchild, it's too early...

Opening the third package, Wang Li took out a ball of black and red thread with his fingers. He stared at the ball of thread with a frown on his face. His heart even paused for a moment. "Is this a rag doll? Or something else strange?"

With curiosity, he looked at the signature, 'Happy birthday to you - someone.'

'Someone? What does that mean? Maybe a prank by someone?'

He casually threw the ball of "thread" on the corner of the table and opened the fourth package. This package was very delicate, and inside was a small red hardcover gift box. After opening the gift box, there was a very beautiful watch inside, with gold and white mixed together, a little dull, but it made people feel simple and elegant.

"Patek Philippe? Patek Philippe gold watch?" Harrison, who had just taken a shower, saw Wang Li looking at the gift and immediately ran over. He picked up the red box on the table and said in surprise, "This watch must be worth 100,000 pounds. Oh, my God, Alan, who gave this to you? It's really generous!"

Wang Li also liked this gift very much. Compared with the "thread-like object" just now, this one was ten thousand times better. However, he did not find the signature. Who would send a gift without leaving a message?

However, he immediately realized what Harrison had just said, and after reacting, he asked in surprise: "You said this watch is worth 100,000 pounds?"

"At least 100,000 pounds! That's too little. If it's auctioned, it'll fetch at least 200,000 pounds! Oh my god, a Patek Philippe gold watch! It's a symbol of English nobility. You can't buy it even if you want to. I'm lucky enough to touch it today. I'm so lucky!"

Wang Li took the watch from Harrison and looked at it carefully, his heart full of doubts. The only person around him who could give such an expensive gift was Grandpa Wilbur, but if it was given by Grandpa, he would not have left a message, and watches were usually gifts from women to men, so if Grandpa wanted to give it, he would definitely give it in pounds.

'Could it be Rita? How could she make so much money as my agent? Could it be a kickback from Wolverhampton when signing the contract? 'It is common for agents to take some kickbacks when signing a contract. Wang Li would not dwell on it too much, but how could his £20,000 contract have so much kickbacks?

With doubts, Wang Li called Rita. After waiting for a while, a weak female voice came from the phone, "Did you receive my gift?"

This voice even made Wang Li's scalp tingle. He asked uncertainly, "Are you Andre?"

"Hmm..." The voice came from the other end of the phone again, but it sounded weaker.

"Oh, is this the gift you gave me today?" Wang Li asked directly, not thinking about why Rita made such a sound.

"Yes, do you like it?"

"Thank you, I like it very much, but it must have cost you too much!" It turned out to be a real gift from Rita, Wang Li thought. He didn't expect that this old-fashioned woman would be so good at choosing gifts. However, this gift seemed too expensive, and he was a little embarrassed to accept it.

"Spending a lot? Oh, I didn't spend much, you're welcome."

"My friend told me that it is really valuable. It looks so beautiful that I can't let it go."

"Really?" The voice on the other end of the phone seemed very happy, and then continued: "I sewed it myself. I prepared it for your birthday for several days. The red one is Snow White, and the other one is..."

Wang Li felt something was wrong. Sewing it by hand? Snow White? It didn't sound like it had anything to do with watches. Could it be the "broken ball of thread"? Thinking of this, he recalled what Rita had just said. He picked up the "ball of thread" from the corner of the table and carefully identified it. The red ball of thread seemed to be in the shape of a human, and there was even a piece of paper stuck on it as a crown...

"Okay, okay, I like it very much. That's it. Thank you for your gift. I wish you a good sleep tonight. Bye!" After knowing the result, Wang Li hung up the phone directly.

Picking up the ball of thread again and taking a look at it, Wang Li burst out laughing. This really looked like a gift from that old-fashioned woman. It was indeed old-fashioned enough.

Although this gift was an eyesore even when placed in the room, Wang Li still carefully put it away. After all, it was a gift, and to him, the commemorative significance far outweighed its actual value.

'But who gave me this watch?'
