NBA: The man who passed the ball to Yao Ming

Zhang Jinshui's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that coming to the door today was not as simple as he imagined.

He turned his head to look at Zi Chunlin, and asked, "Zi Chunlin, I remember you told me before, didn't your grandfather love you very much?"

Zi Chunlin smiled wryly, and for a moment didn't know how to explain it. Now that she was about to go home, she didn't have to shy away from Zi Qiuli anymore. She stretched out her hand to gently hold Zhang Jinshui's hand, and said softly, "Jin Shui, you don't have to think too much about it." , I won’t take a second look at anyone except you.”

"Hey, this is the sour smell of love in the legend." Zi Qiuli exclaimed exaggeratedly, and said, "Actually, my grandpa loves my sister too much. Not only does it hurt, but he also values ​​it very much. He even I feel that apart from that stupid son of the Bush family, there is no man in the world who can match my sister."

Zhang Jinshui immediately understood what Zi Qiuli meant, and asked, "So, your grandfather wants Zi Chunlin and the heirs of the Bush family to get together so that the Zi family and the Bush family, the most famous political family in the beautiful country, can be separated." bound together.

Today, your sister suddenly brought a man home, which is tantamount to destroying your grandpa's family plan, and will naturally become a thorn in the side of your grandpa and even your whole family, right? "

"Smart, that's the reason." Zi Qiuli said with a smile that he didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

Zi Chunlin said softly: "Jin Shui, I'm sorry, because it's been a long time since I came to my house, I don't want you to think about what you have and what you don't have, so I haven't told you. I hope you don't mind."

Zhang Jinshui shrugged and said, "Why don't you mind, anyway, whether I know it or not, I'm going to meet your parents in the same way today, so let's take a step at a time."

As the three of them chatted, Ziqiuli's car got farther and farther away from downtown Houston.

About 20 minutes later, Zi Qiuli's car turned into an asphalt road with dense tropical rainforest trees on both sides. At the entrance, there was a big sign: "Private Road."

Zhang Jinshui was secretly speechless. He had heard others say before that the real wealthy families in the beautiful country are not just as simple as occupying land and building manors. Your own home is farther away from the hustle and bustle, like a little hermit kingdom.

The Zi family is obviously such a wealthy family.

After the car drove more than 200 meters on the road, Zhang Jinshui saw a wall with no boundaries on the left and right. The high wall was hung with steel wire mesh.

Outside the majestic gate with a width of 10 meters and a height of 5 meters, a Lamborghini and a seven-seater car like a tank were parked. After the gate was slowly opened, they drove into the manor.

Zi Qiuli sighed, and said: "It's unlucky to bump into them as soon as I came back."

"Who is it?" Zhang Jinshui asked curiously.

"My third uncle and third aunt and his son who doesn't live up to expectations. Anyway, they will give you face in a while, so just ignore them."

Zhang Jinshui nodded his head, thinking that he was a family after all, so it wouldn't be as exaggerated as Zi Qiuli said.

Then, their car also drove up to the gate, Zi Qiuli honked the horn, and the gate that had just been closed opened again soon.

Seeing the scene behind the door, Zhang Jinshui clicked his tongue again.

After the private road entered the gate, it continued for at least 50 meters. At the end, there was a very large fountain that was spraying water.

Although there are flowers and trees everywhere in other places, it is not quite tangential to the layout of the manor, but the three-story buildings that can be seen after crossing the flowers and plants are more than 100 meters away, and one can imagine how huge this manor is.

Zi Chunlin held Zhang Jinshui's hand again, and said again anxiously: "Jin Shui, there are many people in our Zi family, and the relationship is very complicated. If someone treats you badly at that time, don't take it to heart. Go, let's just ignore them."

Zhang Jinshui smiled slightly, making Zi Chunlin, who has always been calm and calm, so close to a formidable enemy, one can imagine the complexity of their family's various relationships, but Zhang Jinshui is really not worried at all.

He turned sideways and whispered in Zi Chunlin's ear: "Then if I am wronged today, you can make it up to me when we get home."

Zi Chunlin's pretty face flushed, and she nodded slightly.

Zhang Jinshui's interest suddenly rose, and he suddenly felt that because of such an attractive girlfriend, he could not afford to be wronged today.

Their car drove into the manor, and after driving for more than 20 meters, they turned to a fork on the right, and then walked forward to a large parking lot. At this time, more than 20 cars were parked, and they were all Lamborghini, All kinds of luxury cars such as Ferrari and Rolls Royce are like a luxury car show.

The nanny car and Lamborghini that had just entered the manor in front of them had already stopped.

A young man wearing a blue suit and about the same age as Zi Qiuli stepped down from the sports car, with a cynical smile on his face, and his appearance was somewhat similar to Zi Qiuli's.

On the other side, a rich middle-aged couple in traditional Huaguo clothes got off the nanny's car.

When they saw Zi Qiuli's car, they didn't walk away immediately, but stood where they were.

Zi Qiuli sighed, and said: "If you want to avoid it, you won't give it a chance."

While speaking, he parked the car in the empty parking space next to them.

Then, Zhang Jinshui got off the car with Ziqiuli and Zichunlin. Zichunlin and Ziqiuli greeted the middle-aged couple: "Third Uncle, Third Aunt."

What's interesting is that Zi Qiuli and Zi Chunlin didn't even look at the young man, and the young man also looked at him with disdain, his nostrils pointing to the sky.

"Well, I'm back." The middle-aged man nodded at the two of them with a dignified expression.

The middle-aged woman next to her was more enthusiastic and said, "Qiu Li, Chun Lin, didn't you say you were going to Washington last year? I haven't seen you all this year."

Zi Qiuli laughed and said, "We've been too busy this year, and we haven't had much time. Let's go tomorrow. We must find time to visit you in Washington."

The two sides chatted for a while, and a three-row tram with no cover drove over.

Aside from the driver, this car can only accommodate 5 people, which is not enough for both parties to sit in. The middle-aged couple took their son and got into the car first.

From the beginning to the end, the middle-aged couple didn't even look at Zhang Jinshui.

Zhang Jinshui naturally didn't speak, but from this point, he could see that the middle-aged couple was definitely not as amiable as they appeared on the surface.

The simplest reason is that even ordinary friends meet, when one party sees someone else standing next to the other party, they will take the initiative to say hello and express their goodwill.

And Zhang Jinshui, a big living person, was standing next to them, but they were completely invisible like air. To put it bluntly, their behavior not only did not give Zhang Jinshui face, but actually did not give Zi Qiuli and Zi Chunlin a step.

Zi Qiuli turned to look at Zhang Jinshui, and asked, "Do you feel anything strange?"

Zhang Jinshui shrugged and said with a chuckle, "Now I understand why you gave me so many vaccinations on the road."

Zi Qiuli sighed, and said: "Zi Chunlin and I grew up here when we were young, but later, we all desperately wanted to escape from this place, because there are too many people like my third uncle here. gone."

Ziqiu paused for a moment, and then introduced: "My grandfather has three sons and one daughter, who are my eldest aunt, second uncle, third uncle and my father.

Among them, the most unpromising one is my third uncle. His family was sent to Washington State by my grandfather, and they have nothing to do. Every year, they help collect rent for our family's real estate.

They also knew that grandpa looked down on them, so they went to praise the stinky feet of the second uncle's family every day, hoping that after the son of the second uncle's family inherited the family business, they would continue to let them collect rent in Washington.

However, what they hate the most is not these things, but their spoiled son, Zi Junjie, who bluffs outside under the name of our Zi family every day. Already broke up with him. "

Zhang Jinshui could see just now that Zi Junjie's footsteps were sloppy and his eye bags were swollen.

From this, he thought of Zi Chusheng who he saw at the auction night in Houston the day before yesterday, turned his head to look at Zi Chunlin, and asked, "If I remember correctly, that cousin of yours that I saw at the auction night the day before yesterday should be It's your second uncle's son."

Zi Chunlin nodded and said: "Yes, his name is Zi Chunsheng. He is different from Zi Junjie, and he is another kind of nuisance, even more despised than Zi Junjie."

Thinking of what happened at the charity auction night, Zhang Jinshui laughed and said, "At least I think it's much better than that drunken Zi Junjie just now."

The three were chatting, and after a while, another small tram drove over.

The three sat on it together, followed the car back to the main road, then bypassed the fountain pool that Zhang Jinshui had seen just now, and passed through a forest scene.

This time, Zhang Jinshui was finally able to see the whole picture of Zijia Manor.

In front of him is a garden that covers an area of ​​at least two or three basketball courts. There are fish ponds, rockery, small pavilions, and arch bridges, hidden among bamboos, pine, and pipas. It feels like being in the Suzhou Gardens of Huaguo.

The three-storey building that Zhang Jinshui saw from a distance just now is actually a carved beam and painted building with obvious Huaguo style, consisting of three huge attics on the left, middle and right.

If Zhang Jinshui took a photo here and showed it to 1 people, at least [-] people would not believe that this is a beautiful country.

At this time, in the small pavilions in the garden and on the arch bridge, people gathered to talk in several places, and people came in and out from the gate of the attic in the middle from time to time. A rough estimate shows that there are at least dozens of people in total.

Zhang Jinshui looked at Zi Chunlin in surprise, and asked, "Didn't your grandfather only have four children? Why are there so many people here?"

Zi Chunlin explained: "We didn't make it clear. Although my grandfather only has 4 children, he still has 3 brothers and sisters. In addition, my grandfather's father also had several brothers in his generation. Let's face it, the population of our entire family is several dozen.

Not to mention, at this time of year, many friends and family members of my grandfather in the political and business circles will also come to our house for gatherings.

Therefore, we have at least a dozen tables of Chinese-style banquets for our annual gatherings, which you can see when you enter the attic in the middle. "

Zhang Jinshui nodded, secretly startled. The population of the Zi family was much larger than he had imagined. It seemed that his initial imagination of a wealthy family was still too superficial.

Zi Chunlin looked around, suddenly pointed to the pavilion in the middle of the small lake, and said happily: "Grandma Huang is sitting over there, let's go, I'll take you to see Grandma Huang."

But Zi Qiuli suddenly put on a bitter face, and said: "You came back with your lover this time, I don't want to blame you, you don't know, every time we come back, Grandma Huang always forces me to go Blind date."

"Don't pull it down, but don't run around, I will be called to the cabinet in a while, and I need you to accompany Zhang Jinshui."

"I know, I'm standing here. Ever since you had Zhang Jinshui, you only have Zhang Jinshui in your eyes. Can you reflect on it?" Zi Qiuli said dissatisfied.

Zi Chunlin ignored Zi Qiuli, and while pulling Zhang Jinshui to the small pavilion, he introduced to Zhang Jinshui: "Grandma Huang has stayed in our house all my life, and my brother and I were brought up by Grandma Huang. In this garden, apart from my grandfather, the one I can't let go of is Grandma Huang."

Zhang Jinshui asked curiously: "Stayed for a lifetime? Is this the legendary domestic servant?"

Zi Chunlin thought for a while, and said: "Grandma Huang is indeed the daughter of a former servant of our Zi family, but, Grandma Huang is not a servant, in fact, she is..."

Zi Chunlin blushed in the middle of speaking, and didn't know how to describe Grandma Huang, so she was vague for a long time and said: "Anyway, my grandma left early, and later on, my grandpa was most afraid of her."

Zhang Jinshui suddenly realized that it was Zi Chunlin's grandfather's lover, but Zi Chunlin didn't like to talk about it, so Zhang Jinshui didn't answer any more, and followed Zi Chunlin to the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.

At this time, there were about 7 or 8 women in the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Most of them were middle-aged women, and there were also one or two who looked extremely young.

Surrounded by them is a kind old woman with gray hair. Her fair face is full of wrinkles from the years, but her eyes are very clear and bright. It can be seen that she must be a rare woman when she was young. beauty embryo.

"Grandma Huang!" As soon as the two entered the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, Zi Chunlin immediately called out sweetly, interrupting their chat.

Grandma Huang turned her head and immediately said happily, "My little Lin'er is back."

Then, she looked at Zhang Jinshui again and said, "You are Zhang Jinshui, right?"
