Yunding Ranch

Chapter 231 Family Vacation
The man sitting in the passenger seat seemed to want to argue, but the woman raised her voice and said, "Jamie, if you don't shut up that stinking mouth, I promise! I'll kick you out!"

Those concise and powerful words made the man choke, and turned his head unwillingly, not continuing to speak.

The woman rearranged her expression, looked at Lu Li again, and nodded apologetically, "As I said just now, we are here for vacation. I'm sorry we didn't have an appointment. Are there any rooms here?"

Both Brandon and Li Yitong cast their gazes towards Lu Li.After realizing his actions, Li Yitong's neck couldn't help but stiffen for a moment, and he didn't quite understand himself.

vacation?Lu Li was full of question marks. Although he said that the future goal of the ranch is to expand the vacation business, but the villa has not even been built yet, so it is natural to start the corresponding publicity - Facebook is still only updating the daily routine, not mentioning it. Information about the resort.So why would anyone come to their home for the holidays?

However, Lu Li had no intention of exploring, he just shrugged and said regretfully, "Sorry, we haven't started the resort business yet."

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the muscles on the man's back twisting, as if he wanted to express his emotions, but in the end he became dull.

The woman was stunned, apparently not expecting such an answer, "Isn't this the Yunding Ranch? Fourteen's Yunding Ranch?" The information was very accurate, but it made Lu Li even more puzzled. The words answered his doubts, "Julia recommended this place to us. She thinks it is a very suitable place for vacation, and it is not polluted by the tourism industry."

"Julia?" Lu Li thought for a while, and a name came to mind, "Julia Higgins?"

The woman nodded in affirmation, "We need a short vacation. We originally planned to go to Lake Michigan, but every year we go there, and the novelty almost disappears, so Julia suggested that we come here."

Without continuing to explain, the woman raised her head and looked at the pasture. Although there was an open space at the entrance, which looked messy, the beech forest in front of her was refreshing, and the sheep not far away were walking comfortably. , just like the golden rim inlaid with the white clouds, a wonderful natural oil painting is outlined with a few strokes.

At the far end of the line of sight, the lines of mountains and forests, like ink paintings, undulate freely under the blue sky, and people can't help but start to imagine, depicting the thrilling under the lines.

"However, it was our mistake that we didn't make an appointment in advance." The woman looked away and explained with a smile, "Julia just said that she would say hello in advance; and the resort is currently only accepting private reservations, so... look Julia is too busy to forget again, isn't she?"

From just this sentence, it can be heard that the woman should be good friends with Julia, and they are very familiar with each other.

The woman's gaze landed on Lu Li, and after taking a closer look, she smiled, "But if it's because of Jamie, I'm here to apologize again."

The subtext is to say, I hope Lu Li didn't deliberately refuse to let them stay because of Jamie's attitude just now.

Lu Li's eyes fell on the man named Jamie, he paused for a moment, and then laughed.Sure enough, he and Julia are friends, and the sharpness of the conversation is really impressive. "Believe me, if it's because of him, I will double your room rates and invite you to stay politely."

That's the best way to get revenge, isn't it?

"Hehe." The woman laughed brightly, with joy welling up in her eyes, and she even gave Jamie a meaningful glance at the back. The profound meaning in her gestures was hard to describe in words, which made Lu Li chuckle. Voice.

Li Yitong thought it was amazing, all of this was very amazing.

Why was Lu Li able to handle men's provocation and discrimination so well?Shouldn't Lu Li be furious?Shouldn't Lu Li be indignant?Shouldn't Lu Li be furious?Shouldn't Lu Li fight back forcefully?What's even more unbelievable is why the man fell silent?Why did that woman not only not break up with Lu Li, but also seemed to be having a good time talking?Why is the atmosphere at the scene not only not tense, but also full of laughter?

"So, is it true that there is no vacation business here? Or..." The woman always spoke with a kind of indifferent elegance, unhurried, but neither arrogant nor impatient, leaving a little aftertaste in her words, without offending, But it is enough to make people understand-"There are other reasons, after all, what Julia said is different?"

Lu Li looked at the woman, then at Jamie who turned his back to him, the two little girls lying on the car window, and the big boy sitting in the driver's seat - a student about his age appearance.

To be honest, Lu Li didn't like the way and tone of the man's words just now, and there was an undisguised discrimination in both words and expressions.But this level is nothing to Lu Li.

In fact, discrimination is ubiquitous, even in China, just like people from Shanghai look at foreigners, or southerners who go to the northeast, the invisible discrimination is always Lingering, can even be said to be ubiquitous in life.What's more, they are now living in another country, another piece of land?

The real decisive factor is actually your own mentality. Only when you regard yourself as a victim, only when you also discriminate against yourself, can those malicious eyes hurt you.

On the contrary, a strong and resolute soul can make all other malicious attackers small, and the inner strength is the real strength. If you want to avoid discrimination, avoid harm, and win enough respect, the first step is Cherish yourself, respect yourself, know yourself, and stick to yourself.

Of course, this is only a small part of life. If you encounter extremists, the way you deal with them will naturally be different.Resisting violence with violence is a wrong choice, but self-defense is indispensable.Lu Li is not Jesus Christ, he has no intention of bringing the halo on his head.

What Jamie said just now couldn't hurt Lu Li at all. From his point of view, Jamie is just an egomaniac who can talk freely.

"I'm an honest person." Lu Li responded with a hint of sarcasm, which made the woman smile, "Julia is right, I do plan to start a vacation business, but as you can see, the ranch is currently undergoing maintenance, We need more space before we can provide accommodation. Julia hasn't updated in a while and her information is a bit off."

The woman nodded to express her understanding, but she couldn't hide her disappointment. She looked back at the children in the carriage and Jamie who was silent, "Then what do you recommend? You know, we traveled all the way to Driving from New York, I don't want to drive across Lake Michigan right now."

Although he didn't say it explicitly, Lu Li could still feel that they really needed to take a good rest, especially the two girls at the back.

"If you don't mind living in tents, camping is available by the lake, and there is a guest room upstairs in my house." Lu Li kindly extended the invitation, "For the fee, I will pay according to Austin's five-star standard Charge at hotel standards, and for Julia's sake, I'll give you a [-]% discount. Or, you can go straight to Austin and find a five-star hotel, there are no resorts near New Braunfels."

The woman showed a big smile, "I'm just going to try tents recently." This is considered a nod of agreement.

As soon as the words came out, Jamie immediately turned his head and looked at the woman dumbfounded, "Are you crazy? We spent five hundred dollars to camp here? It's only a few hours' drive from the Grand Canyon National Park, and there are even Free camping area!"

Star hotels in Austin can’t be compared with Los Angeles and New York. The average price per night is about [-], which can definitely be called cheap; however, the environment and scenery of Yunding Ranch are irreplaceable. In the future, it will be operated as a resort, and the price will definitely be high.

The woman glanced at Jamie calmly, "Then you can drive to the Grand Canyon National Park by yourself, and my children and I will be vacationing here." After finishing speaking, the woman ignored Jamie and turned to the car. The two little girls yelled, "Come down now, we're staying here for the next week. Tyler, you drive over there and park...uh, where's the parking lot, please?"

Lu Li pointed to the direction behind the villa, "You can see it when you drive past."

Taylor drove the car slowly into the ranch, and drove towards the temporary parking lot next to the lake, and then the woman walked over with the two little guys, "Sorry, please forgive our faux pas. This is Alison , this is Amber, this is Carmen."

"Welcome to Yunding Ranch." Lu Li bent down, stretched out his right hand to the two little girls, and solemnly welcomed them. Ambo was the older one, but seemed to be more shy, standing in the back a little cautiously; Carmen walked forward gracefully and held Lu Li's right hand, "You haven't introduced yourself yet."

Lu Li smiled brightly, "Fourteen."

"Hahahaha, do you have a brother named Thirteen, or Fifteen?" Carmen's crisp laughter echoed over the ranch.

Lu Li blinked, "Shhh, actually I have a brother named Xiao Qi, and he doesn't like being called Thirteen the most." That nonsensical answer made Carmen laugh out loud, and even Amber couldn't help chuckling. stand up.

Alison stood gracefully in place, looking a bit out of place with the surrounding scenery—although this dress was casual enough, but in the ranch, she still looked too reserved, "Alison, why didn't you come first How about going to the guest room upstairs, put down your luggage, change into a set of comfortable clothes, and then enjoy the leisure time on the ranch?”

There was a hint of coquettishness in Alison's shallow smile, "That couldn't be better."
