Yunding Ranch

Chapter 447 The transaction is completed
When Liz was mentioned, Lily suddenly fell into a moment of silence. Looking at the bustling scene outside the window, the room seemed to have fallen into a different kind of tranquility.

Today, Lily seems to be preoccupied, without her usual sharpness and kindness, she starts to lose her mind while talking, her eyes are empty, but she can't see clearly, behind that endless darkness, what is she thinking about, but her whole body is immersed in it. In one's own emotions, people are unpredictable.

Lu Li wasn't sure whether he should ask. Lily like this was too unfamiliar, and he wasn't even sure how to choose his entry point.

At this moment, Lily suddenly said, "When Liz was still there, she persuaded me. At least Lawrence and Joel are still there, and they are still in good health. I should learn to open my heart. Before it's too late. I know Liz never forgets, she always remembers Dylan. Yeah, what mother can ever forget..."

While talking, Lily suddenly fell into silence again, but this time the silence was only for a moment. Then she came back to her senses, looked up at Lu Li, and said without warning, "Fourteen, You say, will I lose Lawrence forever? Why should God test me like this?"

It was the first exchange he had had with Lily since the bombshell on Christmas night.Nearly a month has passed in the blink of an eye, but the thorn in Lily's chest still hasn't disappeared.Of course, this is not so easy, after all, it is a person's belief.

Looking at Lily's eyes full of sorrow and confusion, Lu Li took a deep breath, leaned forward slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Lily, you will not lose Lawrence." This sentence made Lily's eyes light up slightly, and her face turned pale. It brightened up, as if he had caught hope, but then it froze at the corner of his mouth, "But you can never get close to him again."

This is a fact, a sad but cruel fact.

Lily's expression froze in an instant, her eyes revealed a lingering sadness, and she froze in place for a long time, which made Lu Li feel that he was cruel, so he couldn't help but apologize, "I'm sorry."

Lily came back to her senses, "No." She shook her head, froze for half a second, then shook her head again, "No no. I need you to tell me this. Actually, I already knew this fact, just I've always refused to acknowledge it, like the elephant in the room, it's there, but I don't see it. One day, the elephant will be angry too."

Lily let out a long breath, and seemed to have finally made up her mind, "I'm going to New York to attend Lawrence's engagement ceremony."

Lu Li was slightly surprised, but he didn't hide his surprise.Such an expression successfully made Lily chuckle, "Deep in my heart, I have made a decision. I just need a little affirmation from other people. I think, those who have received higher education and lived in a big city around the ranch , only you."

Lu Li spread his hands, and a smug smile appeared on the corners of his mouth, "If this is a crime, then I admit it." This made Lily smile again, "And what about Ronald?"

"He will also go together." Lily confirmed, "I haven't left Texas for too long, the last time I left was 15 years ago; moreover, I've never been to New York..."

"Never?" Lu Li was a little surprised.

"Never." Lily said with certainty.

This sounds unbelievable, but when you think about it carefully, Lu Li's grandparents have never been to BJ's in their entire lives, which is not unusual.

Lily went on to say, "I came here for another reason. I want to ask you, do you know Lawrence's address?" This question was definitely not expected by Lu Li. Said, but lost to Ronald. I could ask Lawrence, or Joel, but I thought, maybe I should surprise Lawrence. You know, he surprised us at Christmas."

"Ha." Lu Li finally came to his senses and burst out laughing, "I like this kind of surprise. I don't know Lawrence's address, but I can help." Lu Li thought for a while, and took out the phone from under the coffee table. In my notebook, I opened Facebook and searched for the name of "Lawrence McCartney". "Last time Lawrence and I complained about Facebook, I think he should be on it."

Lily came to Lu Li's side, looked at the computer screen, and waved her hands repeatedly, "To me, these things are like the language of aliens, and I can't understand anything. How do I fiddle with this?"

"To put it simply, it's a business card folder. You can establish contacts based on your school, and then everyone can post their own photos here." Lu Li simply explained that after the search was completed, more than 30 "Lawrence McCarter" came out. Ni", he screened one by one, the lawyers in the New York area, and finally there was only one left. After clicking on it, Lu Li smiled, "Oh, this is Lawrence."

"So fast?" Lily obviously didn't expect it, showing a surprised look, she leaned over to take a look, and then saw a few photos of Lawrence, and confirmed that this was her son, "How did you do it? "

"If you're curious, you can spare an afternoon and I'll teach you how to use it. It's not difficult, you just need to be able to read English and be willing to learn, that's enough." Lu Li said enthusiastically, and clicked the mouse First, I found Lawrence's work unit and home address. As a lawyer, his information is public. Even if it is not Facebook, you can find relevant information on the law firm's official website.

Just as Lu Li was about to tell Lily the location, he scrolled down with the mouse and saw more specific information, "Look, Lily, this is the invitation letter for their engagement party."

Lily leaned forward, and then saw a light blue invitation letter with time, place, name and other information written on it, "Are all young people like this now? Publish all the information on the Internet?"

"To be more precise, this is a platform, a more convenient and simpler platform. There are bound to be advantages and disadvantages, but it is undeniable that it has become a part of our lives." Lu Li found it from under the coffee table. Paper and pen, and then recorded the relevant information and handed it to Lily, "At least for you, this is very convenient. It saves us a lot of procedures."

Lily lowered her head and carefully read the paper, "I think this is all the information I need." After a pause, Lily considered her tone, "Uh, Fourteen, is there any precautions? I mean, participating in such a engagement ceremony."

Lu Li didn't realize it at first, but then he realized what Lily meant: She was thinking about whether the same-sex marriage ceremony would be different.In the depths of Lily's mind, she still couldn't look at this matter with a normal heart after all.

However, this will take time and cannot be rushed.Lu Li said with a smile, "What did you need to pay attention to when you participated in other engagement ceremonies before? Well, this is the same principle." Lily was a little dazed and froze in place, then her eyes gradually became dark, and she became thoughtful, "I haven't participated in an engagement ceremony yet, so I don't know much about the customs. You are an expert in this regard."

Lily nodded ignorantly. The storm brewing in her brain would not calm down for a while. She took a deep breath and laughed heartily, "What about New York? Is there anything I need to pay attention to when I visit New York for the first time?"

"Be careful of anyone who offers candy to you?" Lu Kai joked. This is an important motto for American parents in educating their children, in order to prevent their children from being abducted or kidnapped.

Lily understood the meaning of this sentence immediately, and laughed loudly, "I will remember it in my heart." Looking down at the paper in her hand again, Lily raised her eyes again and looked at Lu Li seriously. , sincerely said, "Thank you."

"My honor." Lu Li replied with a smile.

Lily then left, and this time, she didn't stop and went straight home.Because Lawrence's engagement ceremony is tomorrow, if they want this surprise to continue, then they must quickly pack their bags and set off.Lily didn't have much time to delay further.

Yunding Ranch was not disturbed, and the harvesting of kale was proceeding smoothly.The busy and noisy scene filled the entire ranch, showing unprecedented vitality, even more lively than when the grapes were harvested.

Then, with the cooperation of the Whole Foods Supermarket team, all the work of packing, weighing, and truck loading was completed. Before the sun climbed directly above the head, the whole ranch returned to calm again, and all the [-] acres of land were harvested. All the kale has been loaded onto the trucks. The loaded trucks have already left two batches, and the remaining two batches are being counted. After the counting is completed, they will also go on the road one after another, and then follow the arrangement of Whole Foods Market , respectively, to different cities in North America, and put them on sale.

Graham left the last van, followed by Cole. They were responsible for the first round of counting, and Brandon and two other staff were responsible for the second round of confirmation.The first round of counting had been completed, and the two walked side by side towards the main house.

A beaming Michael could be seen from a distance, standing beside Lu Li, with a contented look on his face.

"How is everything going well?" Lu Li raised his voice when he saw Graham and Cole.

Graham raised his right hand and gestured an "OK" gesture, "Now it can be confirmed, and the transaction is officially completed. The first payment has been transferred to your account, and subsequent payments will be received in accordance with the contract. "

Lu Li pursed his lips, "Now it's officially announced that I sold my soul to Wall Street. Otherwise, I don't know how this deal was completed."

There is no way to know the specific income at the moment, because Lu Li still has to pay a huge amount of taxes, so he needs to consult the tax accountant in detail.But purely in terms of income, 590 US dollars, this is the income that this contract brought to Lu Li.It is unbelievable to say that a batch of vegetables can be sold at such a high price, but this is the truth, everything is really happening.
