Yunding Ranch

Chapter 269 English Dinner
When Lu Li and the others came out of the police/police station, the four young men were still taking statements, but the situation was really bad. They shirked responsibility from each other and blamed each other for fighting in the car. The car lost its direction and hit the rear of Catherine's car.Originally, it was only the driver who was responsible for drunk driving, but now that all four of them have been dragged into the water, it is unknown how things will develop.

However, no matter how it develops, it has nothing to do with Lu Li and the others.

Hulala, a figure walked up the steps quickly and rushed over. Lu Li and the others hurriedly stepped aside, and the person quickly bowed his head and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Inside the police station.

"Catherine, do you need us to take you home? Or should I call a taxi for you?" Lu Li asked with concern. Catherine's car had already been towed to the repair shop. Without a means of transportation, it would be impossible to go home. convenient.

Before Catherine could answer, Tony said first, "Let's take you back. It's been a long day today. What you need most now is to have a good rest."

Brandon also nodded to express his affirmation.

Catherine showed a warm smile, "I think you should go to my house to have dinner together." Seeing the polite smiles on Lu Li and the others, Catherine knew what they were going to say, and she said first, "Please accompany me today. If it wasn't for you, I don't know how to deal with it. At least, I can invite you to dinner. What's more, it's the peak dinner time, and you don't have a restaurant reservation, so it's hard to find a place to eat. "

The three of Lu Li exchanged glances, but they wanted to refuse.The main concern is Catherine. Today is obviously not a good time to visit them. It is better for Catherine to go back and have a rest instead of continuing to entertain them.

"Mom, Mom." There was a shout from behind, interrupting Lu Li and the others' communication, and then seeing the fiery figure just now, he rushed out again eagerly, looked at Lu Li and the others' backs, and kept raising their hands. shouted loudly, the scene was really joyful.

"I'm here." Catherine raised her right hand and waved it.

The three of Lu Li were stunned, turned around, and stepped out of the way. The man stepped forward, stood in front of Catherine, and kept looking up and down, "Are you okay? What's going on? Why did the police / Cha said, you were in a car accident? Shouldn't you go to the hospital? Why didn't you call me, how do you feel now? Is there anything uncomfortable? Let's go to the hospital to check now. "

The worried words were like machine guns, and they fired cracklingly, and the angry voice echoed in the hall at the door, very lively.

"I'm fine. The doctor has checked and confirmed that I'm fine. Then I came here to take a statement and explain the situation." Catherine said in a leisurely manner, "Thanks to these three young people , they were there and helped a lot, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

While speaking, Catherine introduced, "This is my son, Richard."

Richard turned around, his temples were a little gray, and he looked older than Lu Huaijin, with a square face, and the iconic receding hairline of the rotten people, his figure was slightly small, but Overall, it is relatively solid, and it doesn't look like an office worker sitting in an office.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Richard shook hands with three people respectively, introduced himself, and then expressed his gratitude sincerely, "If it weren't for you, I really don't know what to do."

"I just invited them home for dinner, but they were hesitant. Today they stayed with me all day, chatted with me, watched the horse race with me, and were stuck with me, an old guy, all day long." Catherine said He joked with a smile.

"Obviously you explained it to us..." Tony wanted to defend, but was cut off by Richard's voice like a bell, "I sincerely invite you to my house. Not only because of gratitude, but also because of Welcome, our family is the most hospitable and welcomes guests from different places. Today you and my mother have become friends, don't you plan to meet her family?"

Seeing Richard's sincere face, and his straightforward style was very similar to those neighbors around the ranch, Brandon and Tony both turned their heads to look at Lu Li at the same time, leaving the decision to Lu Li. He, then Catherine and Richard's eyes fell on Lu Li's shoulder at the same time.

This made Lu Li stunned. He was the only "foreigner" here, but now he was left to make the decision. Even Richard, who had just met, seemed to take all this for granted.Lu Li couldn't help but laugh.

Nodding, Lu Li affirmed, "It's our honor." Then he saw Catherine showing a big smile, "To be honest, this is the first time I've come to England, and it's of course a good chance to make local friends again. It couldn't be better."

"Of course, of course." Richard patted his chest heartily, then turned his head again and looked at Catherine intently, "Are you sure we don't want to go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination?"

Catherine patted Richard's arm, "Don't worry, if you're not feeling well, I'll be more active than you." The teasing words made Lu Li and the others couldn't help but smile, and Richard scratched his head in embarrassment. Laughed twice, then changed the subject, "Did you drive here? Or..." After getting an affirmative answer, "Then follow our car, it's not far from here, and it's only 15 minutes by car. Minutes away. I want to give Angel a call, she will be very happy."

Lu Li and his group followed Richard's car and left the police station. At this time, the sky had basically darkened, leaving only a residual halo lingering in the sky. Humid and cool, the streets of the city are filled with a special kind of tranquility, and the faint noise makes the night more wonderful.

The car parked on a quiet street, and there is actually a parking space beside the street, which is really rare.It seems that this is a secluded living block, with scattered lights around it lit up, the milky yellow halo supports the night, vaguely outlines the well-trimmed small garden at the door, the square small mailbox, and the creeper entwined There are iron railings and big red wooden doors.

This is the kind of small family you can see on TV, a typical British middle-class family.In a two-story house, there is a large family of four or five. There is a small garden in the backyard, and friends are invited to barbecue on weekends.

Richard opened the door, watched Catherine enter the room intently, then raised his head and said enthusiastically, "Welcome, welcome, come in quickly."

Lu Li walked up the steps, but before he had time to enter the room, a brisk female voice came from inside, "Catherine, is that you?"

Then a woman wearing an apron walked out quickly. She looked like a red apple, with round cheeks, a round figure, and long dark brown hair tied up high into a horsewhip. There are some broken hair left, it can be seen that she has been dressed simply, but it is not grand.

"Catherine, are you okay?" The woman stepped forward and gave Catherine a big hug, "God, it's great to see you're fine."

"I'm fine. Angel." Catherine also hugged the woman in front of her, and then said with a smile, "Thanks to these young men, otherwise today's situation would not be so easy to solve."

"Oh, good evening, welcome to Kelly's house, I'm Richard's wife, Angel." Angel came up, Catherine's surname is Kelly, and this name was also written on the mailbox at the door, "The house is a bit messy, there is no I have time to tidy up, I hope you don't mind." Her face was always filled with a warm smile.

This is different from Londoners.

Houses in the UK are relatively narrow, and there is not much room for movement in the long and narrow corridors at the door. The two of them would get stuck standing side by side. Beside the clothes hanger at the door, the bulky figure seemed to be unable to move away.

Angel noticed such details, "Look at me, come in quickly. It's not good to be crowded here at the door."

"I'm sorry, everything happened too fast and too suddenly. We didn't have time to buy gifts." Lu Li knew that visiting someone's house empty-handed was a very rude behavior, and they didn't have time to buy gifts temporarily.Fortunately, their suitcases were still in the back of the car, with wine bought in France.

Not those top wines from Romanée-Conti, but wines bought later in Paris.

These wines are naturally not as good as Romanée-Conti, but the most important thing is the variety. Tony simply selected one or two representative bottles of wines from different wineries and different production areas, and prepared to taste them slowly along the way.Unexpectedly, it would come in handy today.

"God, you guys even brought gifts." Angel said with a sigh, "Well, let's open this bottle of wine tonight. What does it go with? Beef? Lamb? Seafood?"

"Steak." Lu Li said bluntly, "If we open it tonight, we can also introduce its story. Tony is a winemaker. This is really a good excuse to avoid embarrassment, isn't it?"

The little ridicule made both Angel and Richard laugh, "It just so happens that what we are eating tonight is steak."

Tony and Brandon both cast surprised glances at Lu Li, and Richard noticed, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Tony laughed, "No, on the way here just now, we made a bet that Fourteen guessed what's on the menu for dinner today."

Richard and Angel were stunned for a moment, not knowing how to respond—if they guessed right, would it be a good thing or a bad thing, or Lu Li added, "The two of them guessed fish and chips. "
