Maria nodded slightly and added: “Charlie disappeared in Aurous Hill, in that case,”
“There are two possibilities: one, after he disappeared, he was given a new identity,”
“And was made to hide his identity in the second way you just mentioned;”
“The other, he was taken overseas directly after he disappeared, and has been living overseas in anonymity.”
The old man said, “If it is the first possibility, then you may still be able to find him in the country,”
“If it is the second, I am afraid it will be difficult to find him in the country.”
“It’s not in the way.” Maria said with a smile, “Knowing his true identity, I’m already halfway there!”
After saying that, she added, “I’m going to look for him at home first,”
“And if I really can’t find him, then I’ll go overseas.”
The old man asked, “Miss, where are you going to look for him?”
Maria smiled, “Naturally, I’m going to Aurous Hill, that’s where he disappeared twenty years ago,”
“All the clues must start from there!”
The old man subconsciously said, “Miss, the Wade family, and the An family also started their search from Aurous Hill back then,”
“After turning Aurous Hill upside down, they searched for many years all over the world, but never found him.
Maria said seriously, “Since the Wade family and the An family have searched all over the world from Aurous Hill,”
“And have not found him, then, in my opinion, it is precisely Aurous Hill that has the greatest possibility.”
The old man asked her, “Miss, do you want to set a trigram to see if you can figure out his trail?”
“I can’t.” Maria shook her head and said, “I have tried, the trigrams show that it is difficult to identify the traces,”
“But there is a hint of a dragon entering the sea in the trigrams,”
“I think it is because Charlie has experienced some special encounter,”
“Which has directly elevated his fate to the true meaning of the dragon frame. In any case, I can not calculate.”
The old man asked curiously, “There are things you can not calculate?”
“Now that we have his childhood identity information,”
“Do you want to use his birth date and eight characters to calculate again?”
Maria shook her head: “I can’t even calculate his clues with my near-god trigrams, the birthdate is even less likely.”
The old man sighed: “Then, as you said, go to Aurous Hill and try!”
After saying that, the old man asked her again, “Miss, why don’t I accompany you to Aurous Hill?”
Maria did not say no, but only looked at him and spoke,
“I see that your qi and blood are weak, your health does not seem to be good?”
“Yes.” The old man let out a bitter smile and said, “I’m already eighty-eight this year,”
“I have diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease,”
“I’ve had heart attacks, stents, and bypasses, I had lung cancer a few years ago,”
“I had my left lung cut out, I also had chemotherapy, my body is obviously not doing well anymore,”
“The doctor said the other day that I’ve symptoms of kidney failure,”
“I should start doing blood dialysis after a while, but in this condition,”
“I shouldn’t and can’t afford any more torment, I’ll be satisfied if I can live another two years.”
Maria frowned and asked him, “Can’t you do a kidney transplant?”
The old man laughed and said, “Look at my body, can I still afford such a big operation?”
“I guess when I get on the operating table, the new lung will not work before it is put in.”
“That’s true.” Maria nodded and said indifferently, “Let me take your pulse.”
The old man was shocked by the words and asked in a flattered manner,
“Miss, I’m afraid this …… is not allowed …… how dare I ask you to take my pulse …… “
Maria waved her hand: “There is nothing that can’t be done.”
With that, she pointed to the armrest of the chair and said, “Put your hand here.”
“Thank you, Miss!” The old man hurriedly put his left hand on the armrest of the chair,
Maria’s fingers gently moved on his pulse, closed her eyes, and felt for a moment,
Then withdrew her hand, sighed, and said very directly:
“Sorry, although I know some medicine, but may not be profound enough,”
“In your case, I am powerless to make any changes.”
When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he laughed,
“Miss, there’s no need to blame yourself, I’m already satisfied that I’ve lived this long.”
Maria was silent for a moment and said, “Let me tell your fortune,”
“My level of fortune-telling is still much better than the level of medicine.”
After saying that, and without waiting for the old man’s response, she took out nine copper coins from her pocket.
Then, she placed the coins on the coffee table in front of her and,
As before, divided them into three equal rows in a diagonal fashion, grabbed three first, and threw them on the table.
Immediately, she looked at the trigram of the copper coins and frowned,
“The trigram shows that your life is coming to an end, at most, in half a year.”
“Half a year?” The old man’s expression was astonished,
And he froze on the spot as if he had been casted with a fixation spell.
However, he quickly came back to his senses and let out a miserable smile:
“Although it is shorter than I expected, but it does not matter,”
“Half a year is enough time for me to explain the arrangements after ……”
Maria did not speak, continued to pick up the bottom left three copper coins,
Once again threw them to the top of the coffee table.
This time, her eyebrows were gently raised and she spoke,
“However, the current trigram has a silver lining,”
“f you can seize this chance of life, you can live a hundred years.”
“A hundred years of long life?!” The old man suddenly widened his eyes and blurted out,
“This …… is this possible? To live to be a hundred years old, there are at least twelve years left ……”
Maria said seriously: “The trigrams do not lie, your life,”
“There are only two possibilities, either, within six months; or, after a hundred years.”
The old man said with some surprise, “Miss …… then …… then how do I grab this ray of life?”
Maria once again grabbed the last three copper coins and threw them on the coffee table,
Then looked at the nine coins on the desktop and frowned.
The old man saw that she looked grave, and did not dare to ask questions, but could only wait anxiously.
A few moments later, Maria puzzled said: “Strange, this trigram says that your life is surprisingly related to me,”
“But I really have no way to renew your life …… If my father was still alive,”
“He certainly had a way, but unfortunately, he had not taught me that kind of skill until he left”
“It…… may also be because I am not that piece of material ……”
The old man did not know what to be happy about at this time, after all,
Even Maria could not understand the reason, he had no way to understand it.
At this time, Maria grabbed the southernmost coin, pinched it and held it up in front of the old man, and said seriously,
“This Yongle Tongbao back three coins, in my trigram represents the birth gate,”
“It is at the southernmost end of the nine coins, which means your birth gate is south of Eastcliff.”
“South of Eastcliff ……” the old man muttered, confused.
Maria’s eyes suddenly lit up and she smiled,
“Although I don’t have my father’s skills, I know one person who certainly does!”
After saying that, she looked at the old man and said seriously,
“This south of Eastcliff must be Aurous Hill!”
“Aurous Hill?”
The old man asked in surprise, “You mean, my birthplace, in Aurous Hill?”
“Right.” Maria nodded gently and said,
“It seems that you should indeed go to Aurous Hill with me!”
The old man was busy asking, “Miss, I …… can I go with you?”
“Of course.” Maria nodded and said, “Since your birth door is in the south and it is related to me,”
“Aurous Hill is the most likely place, we will go together,”
“If we can find your birth door, you will be able to live a long life.”
The old man was excited and said reverently under his breath, “Thank you, Miss!”
After saying that, he trembled and was about to kneel down.
Maria quickly got up to hold him and said seriously,
“You don’t need to kneel to me, although this life gate is related to me,”
“It is by no means something I can bring to you,”
“So you still have to go to Aurous Hill to find your own chance encounter,”
“And what I can do for you is perhaps to wish you luck in your search.”
The old man nodded repeatedly and choked up, “Thank you, Miss!”
“If I can find it, it is my fate that I should not die,”
“But if I cannot find it, I have no regrets in my life.”
“Okay.” Maria nodded slightly and smiled, “It’s best if you can have this mentality.”
After saying that, she put away all nine coins and said,
“Get ready, let’s leave for Aurous Hill as soon as possible.”
The old man said, “Miss, you don’t need to hurry, your status is special,”
“I’d better have someone arrange a residence in Aurous Hill first.”
“There is no need to bother.” Maria smiled, “If I remember correctly,”
” Mrs. Larry Qiu’s ancestral home is in Aurous Hill,”
“They should have some properties in Aurous Hill, I’ll ask him to lend a property for a temporary stay.”
The old man suddenly realized, “Brother Larry!”
“I heard him say some years ago that he had more than 5,000 properties all over the world.”
“Since Aurous Hill is his wife’s ancestral home, he should have a lot of properties.
Maria nodded: “Before the Qiu family split, it was truly the richest in the Southern Ocean,”
“And after the split, although the paper data fell a bit,”
“The actual assets are still unmatched in the Southern Ocean.”
After saying that, she said to the old man, “You give him a call,”
“I’ll talk later when you get through, I had a tortuous journey to China this time,”
“I changed a cell phone every place I went, and I lost the last one before coming to Eastcliff.”
“Okay, Miss!” The old man said without thinking, “I’ll call him right now!”
After saying that, he took out his cell phone, found Larry’s number in the address book,
Dialed it, and turned on the speaker at the same time.
Soon, an old man’s voice came from the other end of the phone and said,
“Ethan, you old boy, you haven’t called me for two or three years, right?”
“Why do you have the grace to call me today?”
Ethan laughed, “I’m not going to hide it from you,”
“But I’ve been suffering a lot in the past two to three years,”
“Fighting with the king of hell every day, so I really didn’t have much energy to communicate with you.”
The other party laughed: “Ha ha, it seems that we are all the same,”
“At this age, we are all fighting with the king of hell.”
Ethan said with a smile, “Brother Larry,”
“I am calling you today mainly because I have someone valuable to talk to you about.”
“A valuable person?” Larry asked curiously on the other end of the phone,
“I’m buried up to my hairline, where is there any noble person ……”
Ethan smiled and said, “Let her talk to you personally.”
After saying that, he handed the phone to Maria respectfully.
Maria smiled faintly and said, “I wouldn’t dare to take the word noble.”
Larry on the other end of the phone asked in a surprised and happy voice:
“Miss? Is that you?”
Maria gave a hint and said lightly, “It’s me.”
“Oh my god!” Larry exclaimed, “Miss, why did you go to Ethan’s place?”
Maria said, “I have some personal matters and came to ask him for help.”
After that, she went straight to the point and said,
“I plan to go to Aurous Hill and may need to stay there for a while,”
“So I would like to ask if you have a house in Aurous Hill where I can stay for a while.”
Larry immediately said without thinking, “Yes! Of course, I do!”
“I have a hilltop villa in Aurous Hill’s Purple Mountain,”
“Located in an area inside the forest park that is not open to the public.”
“I have a few cars and a helicopter there, and they are all taken care of.”
Maria was not polite and said, “Okay, you can arrange it for me, I will arrive in the afternoon.”
Larry was busy saying, “Sure Miss! I’ll make the arrangements right away!”
Maria said, “By the way, tell your subordinates that I’m your distant granddaughter,”
“And I’m going to college in Aurous Hill, that’s why you lent me your house for a while.”
Larry respectfully said, “Sure Miss.”
Maria added, “Oh also, I really want to find a university in Aurous Hill to study at,”
“I am just the right age to study at university right now, do you have the resources?”
“Yes, I do!” Larry said, “I donated 500 million to Aurous Hill University,”
“Half of the new campus was built by me if you don’t mind,”
“I can arrange for you to study at Aurous Hill University,”
“Which is also the best university in the province.”
“Good!” Maria said with a smile, “Then let’s go here!”
After saying that, she remembered something and asked Larry,
“By the way, where are you living right now?”
Larry said, “Back to Miss, I am currently in Singapore,”
“I have been living in two places, Singapore and Malaysia,”
“For all these years, and as I am old, I seldom go far away.”
Maria pondered for a moment and said, “Then it would be hard for you to arrange a Malaysian identity for me,”
“And then let me go to Aurous Hill to study under the identity of a Malaysian student.”
Larry subconsciously said, “Miss, isn’t it better to have a Singaporean identity?”
“After all, Singapore?”
Maria said, “You get me a new identity, I have to go there personally and then fly an entry trip to China openly,”
“So I don’t want to go to Singapore, the country is too small,”
“Too tightly managed, inconvenient to hide, and easily exposed.”
Larry was busy saying, “Okay, then I will prepare a Malaysian identity for you.”
Maria thought about it and said, “Just find a suitable family from your distant relatives to put me in,”
“Then submit the information to Aurous Hill University and have them send me a letter of acceptance.”
Larry respectfully said, “Okay Miss, I’ll arrange it, this identity, what name do you plan to have?”
Maria casually smiled, “If I can find a family with the surname Lin,”
“Then I’ll call myself Cathy Lin if I can’t find one, whatever Maria is fine.”
“No problem!” Larry said offhandedly, “I’ll arrange it right away.”
Maria said, “Then I will not go to Aurous Hill today, I will go to Malaysia first.”
Maria knew very well that since she planned to use the identity of a foreign student,
Going to Aurous Hill to live and study at Aurous Hill University openly,
And then wait for Charlie to appear,
She had to prepare a foolproof chain of evidence in advance.
At least, she has to take on the new Malaysian identity,
Take a plane from Malaysia to China, and complete an official entry record.
Otherwise, once she meets Charlie, he suspects her,
At any time he can find out that she does not have an entry record.
In that case, she is afraid that Charlie will recognize her.
And he used the identity of Larry’s distant relative to go from Malaysia to Aurous Hill openly and honestly,
And then in Aurous Hill to study at the university donated by Larry,
And live on Larry’s property in Aurous Hill, everything would seem to be logical!
At this time, Larry on the other end of the phone said respectfully,
“Miss, you can ask Ethan to arrange a plane for you to fly directly from Eastcliff to Georgetown, Malaysia,”
“And I’ll leave now to fly there and wait for you!”
Maria’s style of action was breezy and did not drag on.
After hanging up Larry’s phone, she immediately said to Ethan,
“Old Sun, I need you to arrange a plane for me, I am going to Malaysia now.”
Ethan said, “Miss, I will go with you!”
Maria waved her hand and said seriously, “Don’t come to Malaysia with me,”
“You have a special identity, if you leave a record of the two of us leaving the country together,”
“Things will be easily exposed in the future, I’ll go there myself with the identity I entered this time,”
“Then I’ll come back immediately with a new identity and go directly to Aurous Hill when I come back,”
“You come to Aurous Hill and meet me there, we’ll meet in Aurous Hill.”
When Ethan heard this, he nodded and said, “Okay, then I will wait for your news in Eastcliff,”
“And after you arrive in Aurous Hill, I will come over and meet you!”
“Okay.” Maria asked him, “When will the plane fly at the earliest?”
Ethan said, “There is a Gulfstream G700 business jet standing by at Eastcliff airport,”
“Ready to fly at any time, and it will be in Malaysia within five hours.”
Maria nodded: “Then help me prepare as soon as possible,”
“And arrange a car to take me to the airport.”
Ethan respectfully said, “Yes Miss, I’ll arrange it now!”
Soon, Ethan arranged a convoy and personally escorted Maria to Eastcliff airport by car.
Forty minutes later, Maria, who had successfully passed through customs,
Took off from Eastcliff airport in the Sun family’s private plane.
After taking off, the plane headed northwest around Eastcliff city and then flew in a southwest direction.
The Gulfstream G700 flies close to the speed of sound, much faster than the average civilian airliner,
And Georgetown, Malaysia, is a little closer than Singapore, so it arrived in a little over four hours.
Meanwhile, Larry, who was far away from Singapore,
Dragged his ninety-year-old body and started, together with his wife,
An exciting helicopter flew to Georgetown to prepare for Maria’s arrival.
Georgetown is the most Chinese-populated city in Malaysia,
And the place where Larry made his fortune in earlier years.
He has several estates in Georgetown, the largest of which even has a two-kilometer-long private beach.
It just so happened that one of Larry’s distant cousins in Georgetown was surnamed Lin,
So he had a personal file concocted out of thin air and fabricated an eighteen-year-old girl named Cathy Lin,
And even faked a series of file information for the girl.
When Maria’s plane flew out of China’s airspace, Charlie and Claire,
Who were in the United States, had also finished the master class completion ceremony.
At this point, Claire had finally completed her dream for many years,
And received the master class completion certificate from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Afterward, Charlie returned to the hotel with Claire and Stella.
The two women decided to have a drink in the hotel’s executive lounge and chat for a while,
So Charlie went back to the hotel room alone to arrange tomorrow’s schedule.
He had asked Stella to arrange for the Fei family’s private plane to fly to Canada tonight,
And tomorrow morning, he asked Orvel and Issac to take the Concorde from New York to Canada at dawn to receive Auntie Li,
Xiaofen and Claudia to the airport and arrange for them to take the plane arranged by Stella,
And after that, Orvel and Issac would take the Concorde directly back to Aurous Hill.
At that time, Fei’s plane would carry Auntie Li and the three of them to New York,
While Charlie would also take Claire and his mother-in-law on the same plane in New York and return to Aurous Hill together.
In order to confirm Elaine’s recovery and to inform her to get ready, Charlie made a phone call to her.
When the call was answered, Elaine said cheerfully while baring her lips,
“Hey good son-in-law, why are you calling me at this time?”
Charlie said smilingly, “Mom, how is your recovery?”
Elaine laughed: “Very good, very good, eating every day shark’s fin, abalone, wormwood, and sea cucumber,”
“More powerful than soccer players, the doctor’s medical skills here are also very good, my leg is recovering quite well.”
Charlie said, “That’s good, Claire has closed her work today,”
“We plan to check out tomorrow morning and come to New York,”
“After picking you up, we will go back to Aurous Hill together.”
“Back to Aurous Hill?” Elaine’s tone instantly lost up, she said:
“Good son-in-law ah, back to Aurous Hill is meaningless, this leg is not convenient yet,”
“I still have to give you trouble, if I say why not you and Claire go back first,”
“I will stay here a few more days to recuperate, get well, and then return!”
Charlie was helpless for a while.
He was willing to let her stay in the United States,
But Claire still does not know about her mother’s hospitalization,
This matter has been delayed, Claire will certainly be suspicious, then maybe worried.
So, the best solution is to let Elaine go back with her.
If Claire sees Elaine limping again tomorrow,
She can say that she accidentally fell on her leg while hanging out with her friends,
Not that her leg was broken when she was a ghost in Bedford Hills Correctional Facility.
So, he said with some difficulty, “Mom, staying in the hospital is not as comfortable as coming home,”
“Besides, you are not familiar with New York, it is certainly not much fun to be alone,”
“After you go back you still want to eat these mountainous and seafood,”
“I will arrange it for you every day, it will certainly not be worse than eating in the hospital.”
Elaine is feasting on the hospital bed thinking in her heart, secretly:
“staying here although I get good food, good drink, and someone to serve,”
“But every day except for the ward and the green area downstairs,”
“There is really no meaning, going back I can sell the necklace that Charlie gave me,”
“Get some cash to spend, then every day going around the days must be not very painful!”
Thinking of this, she said with a smile on her face:
“Good son-in-law, since you have said so, then mom will go back with you!”
Charlie smiled and instructed her, “Mom, if Claire sees the problem with your leg tomorrow,”
“You can say that you accidentally fell while playing with your friends,”
“And the old injury didn’t heal well before, and then it relapsed,”
“Don’t say anything about the time in prison, so she won’t feel good.”
“Okay, okay.” Elaine agreed, smiled, and said,
“You just do not account for me, I can not tell the truth to her,”
“If people find that I the ghost of Bedford Mountain allowed people to break my leg,”
“Then my reputation will not be all ruined?”
As soon as Charlie heard the words Bedford Hills Ghostly Sorrow,
He got a big headache, but he could only smile and say, “Mom, you’re right.”
Elaine smilingly said, “Okay, what time tomorrow, you tell me,”
“I’ll explain to the doctor and nurse afterward, let them send me to the airport.”
“Okay.” Charlie said, “Claire and I will drive there after checking out in the morning,”
“But we still have to return the car, I guess it will be noon when we are done,”
“So you can go to the airport at noon after lunch.”
Elaine asked, “What time is the flight?”
Charlie laughed: “We’re not taking a civilian airliner, we’re taking a client’s private plane.”
“I’ll go!” Elaine was surprised and said, “Another private plane?”
“I came to the U.S. this time, but I’ve had my fill of private jets!”
“Good son-in-law, then I will meet you at the airport tomorrow after lunch at the hospital!”
“Good.” Charlie instructed, “You can come directly to the VIP building tomorrow,”
“I will wait for you there with Claire.”
Stella and Claire chatted for a long time in the executive lounge.
During this time, Stella modified her story slightly,
Making everything seem incomparably real and even silky smooth in Claire’s eyes.
According to Stella, the reason why she and her grandfather went to Aurous Hill,
Was because his health was deteriorating and he was introduced to a top Chinese doctor named Shi Tianqi,
And when they learned that Tianqi had a medical clinic in Aurous Hill,
The two of them immediately took a flight to Aurous Hill.
After arriving in Aurous Hill, in order to keep a low profile,
Stella only used the fake identity, which she had also chosen when she entered China,
So this also made Claire realize that Stella did not make up a fake name just to deceive her.
Stella told Claire that after she and her grandfather arrived in Aurous Hill,
She found Tianqi to treat her grandfather and did cure him,
But at that time, her eldest uncle took advantage of her grandfather’s absence in the United States,
And used a ruse to take away the family headship and began to hunt her and her grandfather down.
It was also at that time that she heard from someone in Aurous Hill,
That Charlie was a very powerful feng shui master,
So she found him to try to break the situation,
And Charlie gave her a few pointers, and she and her grandfather escaped.
That was also the time when she left without saying goodbye to Claire.
And evaporated from Aurous Hill in order not to involve her.
Subsequently, Stella told Claire that the reason she was able to sit as the head of the Fei family,
Was because Charlie had changed her feng shui and fortune,
Which allowed her to return to New York with her grandfather,
And successfully reclaim the head of the family when the Fei family was in a huge crisis.
The rest, there is no need for Stella to explain to Claire,
Claire herself from the TV already knows most of it.
The actual purpose of the trip to Aurous Hill was cleverly concealed by Stella,
Who then moved Tianqi in to make a perfect substitute,
And then used Charlie’s identity as a feng shui master to amplify this aspect of feng shui as much as possible,
So she fooled Claire into believing in it.
When she heard that Stella was actually chased by her eldest uncle,
And even she nearly died, she could not help but feel a little ashamed in her heart,
Ashamed that Stella encountered such a big crisis, in order not to involve her,
She left without saying hello, and she felt lost in her heart for her unceremonious departure.
And she also felt proud of her husband at the same time.
She really did not expect that Charlie’s ability in feng shui would be so powerful,
That he could even help Stella reclaim the position of the Fei family head and ascend to the top in one step.
This also perfectly explains why Stella, the trillion-dollar Fei family head, was respectful in front of Charlie.
Everything, in Claire’s opinion, is so impeccable.
Therefore, in her heart, there was no doubt at all.
In this way, the little loss in her heart, also completely dissipated.
When she sent Stella away, on her way back to the hotel room,
She even wiped her tears secretly because of Stella’s rough ordeal.
When she returned to her room, Charlie found that his wife had actually cried red eyes,
And quickly asked with concern, “Wife, why are you crying? What happened?”
Claire did not say anything, came forward, gently hugged Charlie,
Choked and said, “Honey, Stella she …… for her it was too difficult ……”
“Uh ……” Charlie froze, then guessed what probably happened,
So while gently patting her back comforting, Charlie said to her: “Wife, as the saying goes,”
“If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight,”
“If Miss Fei was just a girl from an ordinary family, she would naturally not have to go through so many dangers and trials,”
“But she is now the head of a trillion-dollar family, and for someone of this stature,”
“It is only right that she should suffer some trials and tribulations,”
“Otherwise she would not know how to cherish them at all.”
Claire sighed and blamed herself, “I didn’t know she had gone through so many ups and downs,”
“And though she had deliberately made a false identity to experience life in Aurous Hill,”
“And when she had experienced enough she simply disappeared without saying hello ……”
Charlie laughed: “Now that you know the truth of the matter, you don’t have to dwell on it so much,”
“For her, right now is the best outcome, you two can also finally talk about these misunderstandings,”
“And be friends again, isn’t this pretty perfect?”
“Yes……” Claire felt that Charlie had a point and nodded gently.
Then, she looked at Charlie and said with a face of admiration,
“But you’re really great too, husband! Just by adjusting the feng shui,”
“You were able to make Stella go from being chased by her eldest uncle,”
“To become the head of the Fei family in one fell swoop, that’s amazing too!”
Charlie laughed and said modestly: “In fact, this is mainly because people have this foundation,”
“You should know, to be born in this kind of rich and noble family,”
“Her destiny is already one of hundreds of millions of people hard to find,”
“Besides, she has the support of her grandfather, basically,”
“Everything was ready, my feng shui, in fact, was just a nudge.”
Claire said incomparably seriously: “That’s already very powerful!”
“I used to think, you always go to people to see feng shui, but it could bring trouble to you,”
“Today it seems, my husband’s ability is very big!”
“No wonder people call you Master Wade! Because you are a real master!”
Charlie touched his nose and laughed: “Wife, I’ll be proud if you praise me so much.”
Claire smiled: “Master Wade must be proud of himself!”
……
A few hours later.
A Gulfstream plane landed at the airport in Georgetown, Malaysia.
This city has another name, Penang.
At this time, in Penang, there are torrential rains.
After the plane landed, it glided directly into the hangar where it was made.
The entire hangar echoed with the sound of rain beating on the roof,
While Larry and his eighty-five-year-old wife had been waiting here for a long time.
When Maria stepped down from the plane, Larry held his wife’s hand and walked forward excitedly,
Saying respectfully, “You have worked hard all the way, Miss!”
Larry’s wife also said respectfully, “You’ve worked hard, Miss!”
Maria nodded, smiled slightly, and said, “You don’t have to pick me up here, just send a driver.”
Larry said, “Miss, you are here in Malaysia, how can I not come to greet you!”
Maria smiled and said, “This is not the place to talk, let’s go first.”
“Good!” Larry said respectfully, “I’ve already taken care of the customs,”
“Give me your passport, I’ll arrange for someone to do the formalities, you don’t have to worry about the rest.”
Maria nodded her head and handed her passport to Larry.
Afterward, Larry invited Maria to get into his stretched car,
And asked one of his servants to handle the entry formalities for Maria,
While the other beloved drove the three out of the airport and to his estate in Georgetown.
On the way, Maria looked around at the rainy landscape and sighed thoughtfully,
“It rains a lot in Penang…… I hate it ……”
Larry smiled awkwardly and said helplessly, “Penang does have too much rain once summer comes,”
“It rained twice in the past month, one for 14 days and one for 15 days, and it stopped for one day in between.”
Saying that Larry hesitated for a moment and asked her,
“Why are you suddenly going to Aurous Hill to settle temporarily this time?”
Maria smiled lightly, “I ran into some trouble in Northern Europe,”
“So I’m going to China to get away from it, and to find another person by the way.”
Larry asked curiously, “What kind of person is it worthwhile for you to look for personally?”
Maria smiled sweetly, “A valuable person, maybe, the only one who can change the trajectory of my life ……”
The next day.
Charlie and Claire packed their bags and checked out of Providence, where they had been living for more than a month.
The two drove directly to the New York airport,
And when they were checking out of the airport, Charlie received a phone call from Elaine.
On the phone, Elaine asked him, “Good son-in-law, I’m at the airport, where are you?”
Charlie asked her, “Mom, are you in the VIP building?”
“Yes.” Elaine said, “The hospital director personally sent me here.”
“Good,” Charlie answered and said,
“Wait for us in the lobby of the VIP building, we’ll be right there.”
After hanging up the phone, Charlie also finished the formalities of returning the car,
And turned to the waiting Claire and said,
“Let’s go directly to the VIP building, Mom has already arrived.”
Claire did not know that her mother had broken her leg again, and could not help but tease:
“My mother is really no less a drama, she said she missed us,”
“Came to find us, but the result was to leave within a few days,”
“And when she left, she was cheated into prison, and finally came out,”
“But did not come to find us, and lived alone in New York to dazzle up.”
Charlie laughed: “Mom’s that character, you still do not understand it?”
“Yesterday I called her, people still do not want to go.”
Claire shook his head helplessly and sighed,
“There’s nothing I can do about her.”
Since the car rental agency is some distance away from the VIP building,
The employees of the agency drove a small ferry to bring the two to the entrance of the VIP building.
Just as they entered the VIP building, they heard Elaine shout, “Claire, Charlie!”
Claire looked around and didn’t see Elaine’s figure.
Claire glanced down and realized that the person driving the electric wheelchair was her mother, Elaine!
Elaine controlled the electric wheelchair with one hand and stopped steadily in front of the two of them and said to Claire:
“Where are you looking? You can’t even see your mother with such big eyes.”
Claire helplessly said, “Mom, I didn’t look down either ……”
First reaction of Claire was that her mother must have had a good time recently,
As she saw that Elaine’s face was rosy and lustrous,
And she had even put on a little weight compared to the last time she met her.
However, she quickly came back to her senses and hurriedly asked,
“Mom, why are you in a wheelchair again?
Elaine sighed and said helplessly, “Don’t mention it,”
“A few days ago, unluckily, I slipped and fell and broke my leg again.
Claire immediately said with distress: “Mom …… why can’t you be careful ……”
“You have broken this leg too many times ……”
“If it continues like this the leg has been already been broken too many times.”
“If it continues like this, can it grow back?”
“Yes, yes, yes.” Elaine said smilingly: “The doctor said,”
“I can definitely recover this leg, you can rest assured that good.”
Claire seriously said, “Mom, you feel nothing now,”
“I’m afraid there will be sequelae in old age,”
“You must be careful in the future, don’t let this leg of yours get injured again ……”
“Okay, Okay,” Elaine said in a serious manner,
“In the future, Mom must protect this leg well!”
Claire could only nod helplessly.
At this time, a woman who was about the same age as Elaine,
And looked like an intellectual came forward,
And said to Claire with an apologetic face, “You are Claire, right?”
This woman, whom Charlie had seen before, was the director of the Fei family hospital,
Who was specifically in charge of Elaine, it seemed that she had come over today,
To help Elaine round up the lies in front of Claire.
Claire saw her for the first time, nodded somewhat blankly, and asked in surprise: “You are?”
The woman busily said, “I am your mother’s friend, in New York these days,”
“She has been staying at my place, really sorry,”
“It’s my fault that I didn’t take care of your mother,”
“Let her fall and injure her leg accidentally, please don’t mind ……”
Claire heard this, and quickly said: “Auntie you must not say that,”
“My mother’s leg is an old problem, it has broken several times before,”
“So, certainly can not blame you, and during this time mom must have troubled you here,”
“I as a daughter also have to thank you for taking care of her!”
The woman nodded slightly and said, “For your mother’s leg, I found the best doctor to see,”
“As long as she rests a little longer, she will be able to get better,”
“And also the old disease can come back, I asked someone to buy her this intelligent folding electric wheelchair,”
“This thing is the orthopedic doctor’s highly recommended mobility tools,”
“Very flexible, after you go back, take your mother out and put it in the trunk.”
Claire hurriedly said, “Auntie, thank you so much, you must have spent a lot of money,”
“Before and after seeing the doctor, give me a number and I will call you!”
“No need!” The woman smiled and waved her hand:
“Your mother and I are good sisters, this is nothing,”
“I originally wanted to let her recuperate in New York for a while,”
“I did not expect you to leave in such a hurry,”
“But your mother needs oral medicine, I have prepared it here.”
She handed a handbag to Claire and explained, “These are her current oral medications,”
“Which can speed up her recovery and reduce complications,”
“The specific instructions for use are all on it,”
“And I have also prepared a handwritten instruction on how to take it,”
“So just go back and give her the instructions.”
Claire did not expect the other party to be so attentive and said with a grateful face,
“Thank you, auntie, it’s really hard for you!”
The woman waved her hand and said with a smile,
“Your mother and I are lifelong friends, you don’t have to thank me.”
At this time, she suddenly saw Stella walking in wearing a mask at the entrance,
And they exchanged a look, so she looked at Elaine and said,
“Elaine, I have some business here, so I can’t send you through the security check,”
“In the future, when you come to America, you must remember to call me first.”
Elaine heatedly smiled: “Don’t worry, Director Chen!”
After saying that, she realized that she had said the wrong thing,
And she didn’t know how to round up the lie.
Claire was also a bit surprised, not knowing why her mother called the other side Director Chen.
At this time, the woman hurriedly said, “Why do that? It is the nickname from prison. Don’t repeat it, it’s unlucky.”
Only then did Elaine come back to her senses and hurriedly said, “Right, right, yes, yes, yes!”
After saying that, she hurriedly said to Claire: “Claire, your Auntie Chen,”
“She is Mom’s best friend from Bedford Hills Correctional Facility,”
“At that time she was the elder sister in our cell, we all called her Director Chen!”
Claire also did not think much about it, although she did not know for what reason this woman was in prison,
But saw that the other party looked very good, and spoke decently,
Thought it would not be because of any bad nature of the crime, so in her heart, she did not think much about it.
What’s more, she also knew that it was not appropriate to talk about other people in prison,
So she hurriedly stopped there and concluded the topic.
Director Chen then said goodbye and left, and as soon as she left,
Stella came up on her heels and waved at the two of them, “Claire, Master Wade!”
Claire was surprised to see that Stella had come and asked, “Stella, why are you here?”
Stella smiled and said, “I came to see you off. I wanted to go to China with you for a few days,
But I had too much to do recently, so I came to see you off!”
Elaine looked at Stella with a shocked face and said,
“You …… are you the …… Miss of the …… Fei family?”
The news of the Fei family was sensational at first, and Elaine also knew something about it.
When she first saw on TV that Stella, in her capacity as the head of the Fei family,
Had been ordered to solve the huge crisis of the family, she had this feeling in her heart:
“Also a woman, some people can be in charge of a super financial empire worth trillions of dollars in their 20s,”
“But I have lived for 50 years, but I don’t even have 500,000 in my bank account, it’s really gods are blind.”
It was because of the vivid memory of Stella that Elaine was so excited when she saw her in person.
However, what she did not know was that the person in front of her, Stella,
Was actually the same Zhan Feier who gave her husband a Rolls Royce Cullinan in Aurous Hill.
At this moment, Stella also politely said to Elaine: “Hello, auntie.”
Elaine excitedly said, “Miss Fei …… you …… you know my daughter and son-in-law?”
Stella laughed: “Of course, we know each other,”
“Master Wade has helped me a lot in Feng Shui and has been kind to me.”
“Really?!” Elaine said with an incredulous face, “Even you, Miss Fei, are my son-in-law’s client.”
Stella nodded and smiled, “It’s my honor to be Master Wade’s client.”
Elaine was surprised and said, “Oh my God, it has to be my son-in-law,”
“My son-in-law’s ability, level, network, that really can’t find a second one!”
She hurriedly took out her cell phone, handed it to Claire, and said impatiently,
“Claire, take a few pictures of me with Miss Fei!”
Once Elaine said this, Claire knew that her mother must want to take a picture and send it to her circle of friends to show off.
However, since Stella has a special status, Claire instinctively felt that,
It would be inappropriate for her mother to post a photo of her and Stella together in her circle of friends.
So she advised, “Oh mom, her identity is very sensitive, better not take a photo together,”
“And you are still sitting in a wheelchair, it does not look good, as if Miss Fei is caring for the disabled.”
Elaine heard this and quickly said, “Never mind, hurry up and help me up, I can stand on one leg for a while!”
Stella said with a smile, “Auntie, you don’t have to toss and turn,”
“Why don’t I half squat and take a picture with you!”
“Good, good!” Elaine was so excited that she hurriedly handed her phone to Claire and said impatiently,
“Claire, hurry up and take a picture, you too squat down and take a picture!”
Claire did not accept the phone handed over by her mother and said in a serious tone,
“Mom, Miss Fei is considered a public figure now, just listen to me for once, don’t shoot.”
Seeing her daughter’s tough and insistent attitude, Elaine knew that her daughter must have seen through her little mind,
So she had no choice but to say resentfully, “It’s okay, it’s okay, just don’t, it doesn’t matter.”
Charlie saw Elaine although her mouth gave up, but the expression is still a bit resentful,
So he said with a smile: “Mom, in fact, taking a photo at the airport is not meaningful,”
“If you take a picture here, even your friends who see the photo will think you are in the airport,”
“And by chance met Miss Fei, and dragged her to take a picture, it is not the effect you want.”
Charlie said, he was a little subtle, but Elaine immediately understood the essence of it and thought in her heart:
“Good son-in-law is right, in the airport with people, especially with celebrities, 100 people see it,”
“There must be 101 people saying that this must be a chance encounter, begging people to take photos,”
“They really cannot pretend to be anything! I guess it can also stimulate people like Horiyah.”
In fact, the side of Stella originally felt indifferent, but saw Claire seems to intend to stop,
So she also smiled and said, “Auntie, this time in public, I’m afraid that the shot out also does not look good,”
“Why not in the future when we have the opportunity to a private party we can shoot then.”
Until now she had a disappointed mood but when Elaine heard this, she suddenly felt a lot better, she secretly thought:
“My good son-in-law, so capable, even Miss Fei is his client, the future meeting is certainly inevitable,”
“In case I can really take a picture with Miss Fei at the party, that is really a big show.”
So, she agreed without thinking, “If Miss Fei has time to come to Aurous Hill, come to our home and must be a guest!”
Stella nodded and said with a smile, “No problem Auntie, I will definitely pay a visit then!”
Charlie at this time received a voice message from Xiaofen, put it in his ear, and listened,
Xiaofen said in the message, “Brother, we have landed at the New York airport, have you arrived?”
Charlie replied to her, “We just arrived at the airport and started the check-in procedure right away.”
Xiaofen happily replied, “That’s too good, the captain said we don’t need to get off the plane, just wait for you on the plane.”
Charlie replied, “That’s right, you guys just wait on the plane, we’ll be right there.”
After returning Xiaofen’s message, Charlie said, “The plane has already landed, so let’s hurry up and go through the formalities.”
After saying that, he said to Stella: “Miss Fei, after the security check, we will leave the customs, so you should hurry back.”
Stella was reluctant, but nodded with a smile and said, “Then Master Wade, Claire, Auntie, have a good trip, I won’t see you off.”
Elaine said offhandedly, “I heard them say, flying can not be downwind, downwind plane will fall down, and I do not know if it’s true.”
Charlie laughed: “Mom, don’t listen to the nonsense, the plane only needs to fly against the wind when taking off,”
“After reaching the sky, a downwind plan can fly faster, originally 10 hours to get there, with the downwind, maybe 8 hours to get there.”
“So ……” Elaine muttered: “Last time I came to the United States, Horiyah pinned my circle of friends wished me a good trip,”
“I cursed her all the way in my heart, it seems that I was wrong to blame her.”
Charlie was not only dumbfounded but laughed, and then started to prepare to go through the security check.
After saying goodbye to Stella, the three passed through security and customs,
And boarded the plane directly from the parking space outside the VIP building.
Elaine had difficulty with her legs, and the airport sent two attendants to help her all the way.
On the plane, Auntie Li, Xiaofen, and Claudia saw Charlie get on the plane and all hurriedly stood up to greet him,
Especially Xiaofen and Claudia, when they saw Charlie,
They all called out in unison somewhat shyly, “Brother Charlie.”
Charlie grinned at the two of them and asked, “How are you two doing?”
“Pretty good.” Xiaofen smiled, “Recently when we think of going back to Aurous Hill,”
“We are both very excited, and we talk about Aurous Hill for a long time every night.”
Charlie nodded, looked at Claudia, and smiled, “Claudia, while it’s still summertime,”
“After you arrive in Aurous Hill, you still have time to slowly get used to it,”
“So let Xiaofen take you around and get to know the customs and people of the city.”
Claudia nodded gently and said seriously, “Okay brother Charlie, thank you so much ……”
