America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 378 Eligible to be Suspended by Street Lamps
Lee Jae-seo, the current head of the Lee family, the largest chaebol in Han Country, has 4 children.

One man and three women, the eldest son Li Rongzai became the heir without a doubt.

Among the three daughters.

The second princess Li Xuxian, who was born in 1973, gradually became the most embarrassing existence in the family.

In terms of beauty, she is not as good as the dazzling elder sister Li Fuzhen; in terms of favorability, she is also far inferior to the younger sister Li Xinyu; therefore, Li Xuxian is also called the "least valued" member of the Li family by the good Hanguo media.

But from Li Xuxian's personal point of view.

She is also a blessing in disguise, she doesn't need to be entrusted with important tasks by her father just after graduating from university like her elder brothers and sisters, and she doesn't need to be watched by countless eyes just because she is favored.

Li Xuxian has always lived a relatively free life, and even after finishing college in Hanguo, he can still come to New York to study.

When choosing a major in New York, she can also make her own decisions and study the fashion design industry that she is most interested in.

If nothing else, Li Xuxian should have become a fashion designer.

At least for now, she is working hard for this goal.

Knowing that he is caught in the middle, Li Xuxian, who can't get up and down, has always been the least ambitious in the family.

Compared with the brothers and sisters who started to fight openly and secretly several years ago, compared with the younger sister who is highly sought after by Han Guo's media.

Li Xuxian can be more transparent in the family, but he is probably the most comfortable one.

This made her personality much more moderate than her brothers, sisters, and sisters.

To put it nicely, it is moderate and restrained.To put it bluntly, he is a little timid, even submissive and introverted.

Like today, when she came to her younger sister, she just wanted to get in touch with her as a family, and she would return to Han Country tomorrow.

After seeing his sister, Li Xuxian was a little surprised.She didn't expect her sister to live in such a good location in Manhattan and such an expensive Manhattan luxury apartment.

Such a house, even their Li family, couldn't live in it as soon as they said it.

A house worth tens of millions of dollars is converted into tens of billions of won.

Now that 2001 and 2002 intersect, it's kind of ridiculously expensive anyway.

Their sisters are here in New York, and their father only bought a small apartment of more than 200 million US dollars for them as an occasional residence during school holidays.

After knowing that the house belonged to Abel, and Li Xuxian who also knew the relationship between Abel and his sister, he became a little calmer.

If it was Abe Smith, it was quite normal to be able to afford such a house.

Li Xuxian and her classmates at Parsons School of Design said that half of the houses in Manhattan may be owned by Smith.

It's just that Li Xuxian also felt weird.

According to Li Xuxian's understanding.My younger sister, Li Xinyu, lives in the home of my younger sister, her best friend and her boyfriend.

At the same time, my younger sister's best friend's boyfriend is also my own sister's lover... The relationship is very messed up!
I am obsessed with studying at school and rarely care about outside things.Li Xuxian, who rarely cares about family affairs, can't understand.

Seeing my sister excitedly taking me around the villa, it was like introducing my sister to her own home.

Li Xuxian couldn't help but asked his sister:

"This seems to be that Mr. Smith's house...Xinyu, why do I feel like it's your house. Because you seem to like it so much."

At that time, Li Xinyu's response paused for several seconds before giving it out.

"Uh... yes. The house is not mine. But that doesn't stop me from liking it. And he's my best friend... No, he's my nephew's father. That's also our relatives, relatives' house, like it Nothing too?"

Li Xuxian felt that the younger sister was making unreasonable words, but she didn't expose it.

It may be the reason why I haven't seen her for a long time, but Li Xinyu is very enthusiastic about the second sister.

When Abel returns to this 65 East 138th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Li Xinyu also held her second sister's hand, chatting and watching TV in the small living room among the bedrooms on the second floor.

Abel's return made Li Xuxian a little cautious.

His second sister-in-law had only seen him for the first time until now.

From Li Xuxian's point of view, she only felt that this sister and lover was almost the most handsome foreigner she had ever seen.

He was also very tall. Li Xuxian, the tallest of the three sisters, looked like a small bird in front of him.

After seeing Abel with his own eyes, Li Xuxian remembered that Anna Wintour, the female devil in the fashion industry who he admired very much and had always been regarded as an idol by him, praised and commented on him crazily——"As if he was alive, walking in the world Apollo-like."

I don't know the reason why Anna Wintour crazily admired it, which made Li Xuxian love the house so much.

It was Li Xuxian's own aesthetics, which happened to be the reason.

When Abel stood in front of her, Li Xuxian's heart beat faster and his face became hot.

When Li Xuxian was looking at Abel, Abel was also looking at his "second sister-in-law".

Compared with Li Fuzhen, Li Xuxian is not as beautiful and delicate as her elder sister, and she still has short hair.

In terms of appearance, if Li Fuzhen has a score of 90, Li Xinyu can score 80-85.

Li Xuxian only scored 70 points.

Compared with Li Xinyu, not to mention the gentle and youthful temperament that is rarely seen among rich girls, the youthful and pure age, and the most powerful and exaggerated headlights.

Li Xuxian didn't have any of these.

To be honest, Abel was a bit disappointed.

This second sister-in-law can only be said to be not ugly, but it doesn't matter how delicate or beautiful she is.

Fortunately, it may be the reason for studying fashion design. I know how to dress better, and my temperament looks good.

Coupled with the advantages that may be unique to the women of the Li family, Li Xuxian's car lights are not as big and bright as Li Xinyu.

But compared to the elder sister Li Fuzhen, Abel seems to be a little bigger when I look at it with the naked eye through the clothes.

Among most Asian women, this should also belong to the large size, or the super large size.

According to the scoring standard in Abel's mind.

The three sisters of the Li family have a full score of 100 points in terms of body, appearance and other aspects. The score should be:
Li Fuzhen, Yan 85, Body 80, Temperament 90, Status (survivor) 90, Character 90, total score 435.

Li Xinyu, Yan 80, body 90, temperament 85, status (girlfriend, best friend, mistress) 90, personality 80, total score 425 points.

Li Xuxian, Yan 70, body 80, temperament 80, identity (mistress. Sister) 80, personality is unknown, currently the total score is 310.

Even if the personality is perfect, it will be 410 at most.

Much worse than her sister and sister.

Abel lost most of his interest in her in a certain aspect.

Fortunately, she still has an achievement item, without her, Abel would not be able to get this achievement.

This allowed Abel to maintain a little bit of her interest in her.

"Is it Luo Li?" Looking at Li Xuxian, who is very stiff and about 1 meters tall, Abel smiled and said:
"Anna and Jessica, I have told me about you. Okay, it's the first time we meet, let's get to know each other. I'm Abel Smith. You should have heard of me."

Luo Li is the English name of Li Xuxian.

The English names of the three sisters are Anna, Luo Li and Jessica.

It is said that these are also the English names that women like most in Han country.

"Hello..." Li Xuxian's voice was tense, and she shook Abel's hand. She only felt that his hand was so big and warm.

Li Xuxian felt that his two hands might not be as big as Abel's one, "I am Luo Li Li, and I am also Li Xuxian. Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith."

Abel waved to her, "Just call me by my name. Luo Li, don't act like a stranger."

Li Xuxian lowered his head, not daring to look at him, but responded in a low voice, "Okay."

Li Xinyu approached with a smile at this time, and snuggled up to Abel.

When she was in Han Country, Li Xiaomei was used to this.

Coming to the US side, little Laura only stayed for one day before leaving.

No one is watching or obstructing.Li Xinyu became more and more unscrupulous, and she was used to it naturally.

At this time, the second sister was in front of her eyes, and the Wenqing chick didn't even want to hide it, so she stood beside Abel and said to Li Xuxian in the posture of a girlfriend:
"I've said it all. Sister, Abel is very gentle. Not at all as harsh as it is said."

Li Xuxian didn't dare to look at Abel, but of course there was no pressure to look at his sister.

Seeing Li Xinyu cuddling up to her "brother-in-law" unscrupulously in front of her.

Li Xuxian's eyes widened in surprise.

When Abel didn't come back just now, Li Xinyu wasn't like this, she was a bit shy.

Abel is back now, and he doesn't know what happened. Li Xinyu's IQ seems to have dropped a lot.

Abel did find out.

Although he wasn't afraid that Li Xuxian would know this, after all, he had already taken care of everyone else's big sisters.

If it weren't for Li Xuxian's ordinary looks, maybe he would like to start the achievement of "Three Li Blossoms" now.

But compared to Li Xinyu, Abel is still more mature in this aspect after all.

He smiled and took a step away from Li Xinyu, and said to the two sisters:

"I won't bother you to reminisce about the old days. We have dinner together tonight. I have some things to deal with. I'll go to the study first. You can talk slowly..."

Seeing that he said that he had to deal with things, Li Xinyu nodded obediently, like a little wife or girlfriend, "Then go get busy."

Abel smiled, nodded slightly to Li Xuxian, turned around and walked upstairs.

Until his figure disappeared above the stairs.

Li Xinyu looked away reluctantly.

It was not even half a month before Li Xinyu was given her body by Abel.

She and Abel are now in the hot period of adultery.

As long as he is by his side, Li Xinyu can't wait to stay with him every day.

This made her IQ drop a lot.

Li Xinyu turned around, and saw her second sister looking at her with a strange look.

The younger sister of the Li family asked curiously, "Sister, what's the matter? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Originally Li Xinyu lived in Abel's house, Li Xuxian already felt strange.

After returning from Abel, Li Xinyu displayed all kinds of small movements, language, demeanor, and even eyes.

It made Li Xuxian suspect that there was something wrong with the younger sister and Abel.

After thinking about it, Li Xuxian whispered, "Xinyu, are you and Mr. Smith... the same as Eldest Sister?"

Li Xinyu's beautiful eyes widened.

But Wenqing chick has its own special features.

I feel that since the second sister has already found out, there is no need to continue to cover up.

Li Xinyu actually admitted it openly.

"Yeah. I'm the same as the eldest sister, and I have the same relationship with him."

Li Xinyu said very directly: "Even my parents, and my brother all support me, and my sister also supports me. That's how things are, just like what you think, second sister."

This time it was Li Xuxian's turn to be surprised.

"How can this be!" Li Xuxian exclaimed in surprise.

"I feel bad too. But that's how it happened."

After talking, Li Xinyu seemed very relaxed, "Maybe you can call Mom, or Dad, or Eldest Sister."

Li Xuxian gritted his teeth, took out his mobile phone from his pouch, "I will call!"

Not to mention the interaction between the Li family sisters below.

Abel actually went to the study on the fourth floor.

The study room is very large, about a hundred square meters.

The entire fourth floor, except for a small living room.

The rest of the space is occupied by a study and a larger master bedroom.

In the study room of hundreds of square meters, in the middle against the wall, there is a thick desk and matching chairs.

There are closets all around the study room, and there are many bookshelves in the middle aisle, and the bookshelves and closets are full of books.

More than 2000 volumes of books are all inside.

Abel walked over casually, and he saw a thick book on the table.

The house is cleaned every day, but Li Xinyu is probably the only one who dares to read the books.

This chick loves reading very much, and Abel guessed that the book on the table was what she was reading.

He picked it up, opened it, and found that it was not a book, but a thick photo album.

Abel looked through it and found what might have been a World War II photo album.

The owner of the photo album may have been a military reporter at the time, or a newspaper staff member at that time.

There are many photos of some European battlefields and cities during World War II.

Abel simply took it, sat on a comfortable recliner, and flipped through the photo album casually.

In the front, his demeanor was very relaxed.But when he turned to the back, his expression became serious.

Seeing the back, "Fuck, MLGBDXRBGZ!"

A temperamental and elegant Chinese sentence came out from the mouth of this standard Angza ghost.

He directly closed the album and closed his eyes to calm down.

A few minutes later, Abel knocked on the desk.

dong dong——

A soft voice sounded.

Edward's figure also appeared at the door of the study.

"Call David over," said Abel.

Soon the figure of David Jones appeared in the study.

Abel threw the photo album on the desk to him, "Let someone look for it, and see if there are any similar things, mainly similar to the photos in the back. Go to those pawn shops, auction houses, and antique shops. Don't worry about time. Just look for it slowly. If you find it, keep it well, it will be useful to me in the future.”

David nodded, didn't ask why or anything else, put away the photo album carefully, and said softly: "No problem. Is there anything else? BOSS."

Abel waved his hand, and David took the photo album, turned and left the study, leaving Abel alone in the study.

Abel closed his eyes and half-lyed on the chair.

In the photo album just now, some of the photos from World War II in it made him extremely uncomfortable.

But at this time, Abel Smith was no longer that Huaxia Internet writer.

He is already a pure capitalist, even if he is still young, in some respects he is not yet capitalistic enough.

From the perspective of a capitalist, after feeling upset, his mind is to maximize his profits.

How to maximize the benefits of this kind of thing?
Collect them all, and wait for the day when Huaxia rises, or the neon declines.

Send them out as gifts and send them back to that country.

Then when this matter was exposed in the media.

Those in power and the people of that country are bound to be grateful to him as a foreign friend.

For the current Abel Smith, this is the maximization of benefits.

And if it was two years ago, when he first arrived in New York, he discovered this kind of thing.

Then his approach must be to immediately give these things to Huaxia for free.

Two years later, his choices and practices are different.

It can only be said that a person's character and even his philosophy have always been related to the environment and his immediate interests.

Huaxia Internet writer Abel and the capitalist Abel, in some respects, are already two people with completely different positions.

This is like the capitalists in China, who are also eligible to be hung on the street lamps.

It's not because they are Chinese nationalities that they are not worthy of hanging street lights...

Of course, there may also be a small number of patriotic capitalists.

But such businessmen cannot be called capitalists for their country.

They are patriots, or patriotic businessmen, patriotic entrepreneurs.

They shouldn't be capitalists anyway.Because the biggest characteristic of capitalists is that everything serves capital.

Like the current Abel, he already has the qualifications to be suspended from street lights.

After thinking about this matter, I may get benefits in the future, as well as things I may get now.

After thinking about it, Abel no longer had any interest in staying in the study.

He came out of the study and went downstairs.

Go to the middle of the second and third floors.

Abel heard Li Xinyu and Li Xuxian's sisters, who seemed to be arguing quietly, coming from the small living room below.

It's just that they use Korean, which Abel can't understand at all.

He simply enlarged his footsteps to let the two sisters below know of his arrival.

Sure enough, after hearing Abel's footsteps, the voices of Li Xuxian and Li Xinyu fell silent.

When Abel came to the two of them again, all he saw were smiles on their faces.

"It's almost time." Abel looked at the two sisters with a smile, "Do you want to eat at home or go out to eat?"

Before Li Xinyu could make a decision, Abel continued, "Lou Li only comes here once in a while. Let's go out to eat. What do you want to eat?"

Li Xinyu looked at the second sister, who just smiled and didn't speak.

The younger sister of the Li family said to her man: "Second sister likes to eat Italian food the most, let's go eat Italian food."

Abel nodded, "Then do you have a restaurant you like? Or a restaurant you want to eat?"

When it comes to eating this piece, apart from Li Xinyu's dislike of traditional Korean cuisine, she actually doesn't care.

Li Xinyu simply handed over the decision-making power to Li Xuxian.

Li Xuxian hesitated for a while, and said the address and the name of the restaurant.

Li Xuxian occasionally goes to this restaurant.

The reason that attracted her to go was that it was the best restaurant in Manhattan for Italian food.

Also because this restaurant is located in the Chelsea district of Manhattan, it often has many fashion and clothing industry leaders and celebrities going there.

For Li Xuxian, whose dream is to become a fashion designer, this restaurant is her dream restaurant.

It would be even better if you could meet those big names in the fashion industry and clothing industry, take a group photo or get an autograph in it.

It's a pity that she has been there several times, but has never met her.

Abel confirmed indifferently: "Then go here. It's not too far to go to Chelsea from here."

Abel remembered that he raised another Jessica, Jessica Alba's golden house, which was also there.

Chelsea is located on the west side of the island of Manhattan, approximately south of 36th or 34th Street, north of 14th Street, west of Fifth or Sixth Avenue, and east of the Hudson River.

After the 80s, the Chelsea district of Manhattan attracted many American artists to gather here, making it one of the art centers of New York.

For example, it is very famous in the world, and in New York, even the two best fashion design schools in the United States-New York Institute of Fashion Design and Parsons School of Design, these two schools are also located in this place.

Li Xuxian is a student of Parsons School of Design.

Abel just ordered, and the staff will arrange it.

He only needs to take the two Li family sisters to the door on the first floor and sit in the Cadillac monster in the middle of the convoy.

Around six o'clock in the evening.

The convoy set off, aiming at the Bellini Restaurant in Chelsea.
