Chapter 79

"Turn right...it's there."

Looking in the direction that Madison-Bill pointed, behind the waist-length emerald green shrub privacy fence made of water wax trees, there is a French-style eclectic white solid wood mansion.

"Home, sweet home!"

Taking a deep breath of the fresh sea breeze from Shinnecock Bay, all the thoughts in his mind seemed to be completely emptied at this moment. This was the most relaxed and comfortable expression on the girl's face since Han Yi met Madison Bill.

There is no place where people feel more comfortable than home.

Especially when your hometown is in the Hamptons.

"This ain't Jericho, ma'am."

Han Yi put his index finger and thumb on the phone screen, zoomed on the map, frowned and laughed dumbly.

"Although I don't know much about New York ... it's clearly not in one place."

"People grow up... so does my mother." Madison opened the car door, hopped to the door like a deer, and pushed open the fan-shaped creamy white wooden door for the three of them, "It can be parked anywhere."

Han Yi scanned the surrounding environment. On this asphalt path named Pelham Street, there was no traffic line, let alone a parking space.

Driving cars are rare for this street. From the northernmost point of the road to the southernmost point, there are only two or three cars parked on the side of the road for a distance of nearly 1.5 miles.

This is the situation in Hampton, which is not a public holiday or a Saturday or Sunday.

Leaning the car casually on the gray shoulder, Han Yi closed the door before stepping into Bill's mansion.If it is not for the careful reminder, the key may be forgotten in the driver's seat.

Of course, here, even if you put the car keys on the windshield, you don't need to worry too much.

Not only because there are few people, but also because people are rich.

When it comes to the luxury real estate market in New York, people who don't live here usually only think of Manhattan.Those who know a little bit about New York can tell the difference between the Upper East Side, Upper West Side, Tribeca and Billionaires Street.But in fact, in the hearts of New York natives, the Hamptons are where the real rich and famous should live.

No matter which city, the location of luxury houses is linked to the scarcity of geographical conditions.Los Angeles, where most communities are very flat, lacks high ground overlooking the city, so the Platinum Triangle with the highest housing prices is built on a hill.In the narrow and cramped New York, it is rare to find a quiet and spacious private space. Therefore, the Hampton, which is located on the easternmost side of Long Island, is sparsely populated, and rarely invaded by outsiders, so it should be the east coast. A summer hideaway for capitalists and celebrities alike.

Since the end of the 20th century, Hampton has gradually evolved from a patch of potato-growing coastal farmland to a series of luxurious manors connecting the sky and the sea.In the roaring [-]s, not only the great Gatsby lived here, but also the industrial giants who dominated the entire Federation at that time.After World War II, the Vietnam War and the oil crisis, the actor president who loosened the American economy helped Hampton usher in a second take-off opportunity.

With the rapid development of the financial industry and the media industry in the 80s, the real estate value in Hampton has been pushed to an unimaginable height.Today, almost every well-known American giant has a Hampton estate for summer use.

Michael Bloomberg, Ronald Perelman, George Soros, David Geffen and Ralph Lauren, no matter what industry they are in, every June and July when New York is the hottest, They can all be found on private beaches on the eastern tip of Long Island.

The penthouse in Manhattan on weekdays is convenient for commuting. On weekends and summer vacations in the Hamptons, if there is any urgent matter, you can take a helicopter or yacht to and fro. As the Christmas holiday approaches, the family will migrate to Palm Beach, Florida like migratory birds to enjoy the sunshine.

This is the extravagant life of the New York rich who have been "unchanged" for decades.

After visiting Bill's house, Han Yi's next meeting happened to be in Hampton.

However, the real estate of the big man is on the Mido Drive closest to the sea, in the hinterland of Southampton, the beautiful land of Canaan, which really faces the sea and blooms in spring, is by no means the inland hinterland where the coastline cannot be seen. The villas are comparable.

Of course, this does not mean that Bill’s mansion cannot become a mansion in the eyes of ordinary people. As long as it is still in the administrative area of ​​Hampton, this kind of house covering an area of ​​nearly 1 acre will not be less than 500 million US dollars.

As Madison Bill walked inward, the owner of the villa, Madison's mother Tracy Bill, greeted them on the front porch.

"mom!"

Madison fell into Tracy's arms, turned to look at Han Yi and Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen who were following behind him.

"Introducing you to my friends, Yi, Grace, and Yujin."

"Nice to meet you." The way Tracy greeted was the habitual gesture of many white Americans seeing Asians, clasping their hands together and bowing slightly.In their concept, people on the other side of the world greet each other like this.

Tracy Bill is not a narrow-minded person who has never left the North American continent in her life. On the contrary, she has visited the Far East more times than ordinary Americans.But for some reason, when she saw Han Yi, she subconsciously greeted him in this way.

Maybe it's because this is the first time Madison Beal has brought home an Asian friend...

Maybe it's because she found news about Han Yi from Google.

The mysterious rich man who bought UTA for 1.9 million.

"Hello, Tracy, it's an honor to meet you." Han Yi responded with the same gesture. For this kind of friendly and non-aggressive stereotype, he usually goes along with it, "Madison told us a lot about you."

"Hope there's nothing too embarrassing." Tracy looked down at Madison and touched her daughter's face.It doesn't take too much careful observation to see her deep affection for Madison.

This is one of the two most cherished treasures in her life.

"There are only admirable things."

Han Yi gently pressed his left hand on his right chest, and responded with a smile.He had nothing but respect for the single mother in front of him.

Whether it's the full set of J.Crew on her body or the Hampton real estate behind it, it can fully demonstrate Tracy Bill's excellence and diligence.

The cost of purchasing this villa has nothing to do with the ex-husband Robert Bill who divorced in 2003.As an interior designer, she owns a designer firm named after herself and a company called Contour Hanger, which specializes in the production of hangers.

Different from ordinary clothes hangers, Tracey Bill's clothes hangers specially designed for women can not only support the shoulders, but also fix other parts of the fabric, so that clothes of various materials and shapes can be hung for a long time without Out of shape.

This seemingly small but extremely practical invention is very popular in the United States, and it has become Tracy's confidence to support the whole family in Hampton.

The parents are also divorced, and they are also closer to their mothers. What's more, their mothers happen to be both interior designers.With so many coincidences accumulated, it is no wonder that Madison Bill and Xu Yiru became close friends who shared the same bed in such a short period of time.

In terms of family relationship, the only difference between Madison and Xu Yiru is that the former is still good friends with his father, while the latter...

I don't know where my father is now.

"From Madison's description, you are an independent woman worthy of all of us to learn from." Xu Yiru leaned on the railing in the front yard and looked up at Tracy Bill at the end of the five-story wooden steps. The stunning hazel fox eyes are indeed inherited from her, "According to my observation, it is indeed so."

"Oh, Grace, you are such a sweetheart... Come in." Tracy let go of Madison, turned slightly sideways, and welcomed the three of them into the room.

"I hope you don't feel uncomfortable here."

"This is what I dreamed of the Hamptons, ma'am."

Han Yi glanced at the living room and praised sincerely.As an interior designer, Tracy Bill’s aesthetics is indeed impeccable. The strong decoration and color matching in the south of France, combined with simple Nordic-style wooden furniture, under the excellent lighting conditions, make this indoor area far away. The house of more than [-] square feet retains a sense of scale and luxury while also being livable and humane.

"Elegant design." Zhao Youzhen nodded and responded softly.

"Thanks, I'm so proud of it...it took us two years and Madison and her grandma were deeply involved. Speaking of which..."

Tracy Bill stood in front of the L-shaped fabric sofa in the living room, and lightly pressed her hands on the shoulders of the silver-haired woman who had been sitting here.During the half a minute when everyone entered the room, the latter had been sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, never noticing the visiting guests.

"Loriane Aaron, Madison and Rhett's grandma."

"Oh, hi, everyone!" The focused Lorian was obviously taken aback by Tracy's movement. She turned her head and stared intently for a few seconds before revealing her dazzlingly white porcelain teeth, " Sorry, I was just trying to figure out why Twitter automatically unfollowed me... McGrady!"

"Grandma!" Madison flew up to Lori Ann, kissed her on the head, put her face on the other's hair roots, and introduced to the three of them with a smile, "This is my favorite in the world." . . . I prefer to call her Marian."

"Lorian, Marian, you can do whatever you want." Lorien-Aaron stood up and sorted out the expensive white blouses that couldn't be seen from the brand, but judging from the texture alone.

Only then did Han Yi realize that even though she was sitting indoors, Lorien was still wearing a pair of fashionable silver Ray-Ban sunglasses and had her collar turned up.If he saw her on the streets of Manhattan, Han Yi would definitely mistake her for the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine's New York office.

"Yi, Youzhen, Grace... Good afternoon." Lorien took off her sunglasses and looked at the three of them carefully, "Hey, Tracy, where did you get so many supermodels?"

The hearty voice and exaggerated tone filled the living room with laughter.No matter it is Han Yi, Xu Yiru or Zhao Youzhen, they all have a good impression of this cool and trendy old lady.

"Hello, Lori Ann." Unsure of what social actions grandma had taboos on, Han Yi chose to smile and nod in greeting. "Now I know where Madison's fashion genes came from."

"Oh, she still has a lot to learn." Lori Ann curled her lips and waved her hands teasingly.

"Grandma tried her best to teach, and I tried my best to learn." Madison didn't care at all, but instead took Lori Ann's arm, leaned on her shoulder, and responded with a smile.Madison Beal is closer to her mother's side, but Lori Ann Aaron is an exception.Just from her behavior of keeping her surname, it can be seen what a strong and independent woman Lori Ann is, even in that era full of oppression and discrimination, she can also stick to her values.

Such a powerful mother-in-law would of course appreciate an entrepreneurial daughter-in-law like Tracy Bill, and would also get closer to a granddaughter like Madison Bill who started making money on her own in her teens.

"You're the music tycoon who bought half a UTA, aren't you? If you guessed right." Lorien took off her sunglasses and looked at Han Yi carefully. "The one McGrady repeatedly told me to be careful about what I said."

"Grandma!" Madison stared, tugged on Grandma's sleeve, and moved his mouth slightly.

Obviously Lori Ann didn't listen to Madison's reminder.

"Yes, it's me." Han Yi didn't mind at all, and nodded generously and agreed, "You should be the female version of Karl Lagerfeld that Madison said, if you guessed right."

"Oh, listen, there is finally an expert."

Lorien spread her hands and turned around gracefully.

"In fact, I prefer to call him the male version of Lori Ann Aaron. Come on, Yi, and two cute elves, come to the restaurant, we can have dinner."

Like any elderly person, Lorien always walks with her crotch twisted and stiff, and it is difficult to avoid wearing the same part after decades of repeated use.However, this did not hinder her hot-tempered personality at all.While beckoning for everyone to follow, Lorien continued as if talking to herself.

"Try my Beef Hash Pie...no, I didn't make it, I gave them the recipe...no, technically not my recipe either, my grandma passed it on to me, but nothing Doubt is delicious..."

"Feel sorry."

Following behind grandma, Madison grinned as she passed by Han Yi.

"She's always been like that."

"I like it very much, it's very cool." Han Yi shrugged and turned to let the two ladies Xu Yiru and Zhao Youzhen walk in front of him before taking a step.

"I hope the next lunch will be as good as her."

"Is this your first time eating family kosher food?" Madison asked, walking backwards.

"Does a bagel and pastrami sandwich count?"

"Of course not, it's something sold in restaurants outside."

"So... yes, I haven't eaten." Han Yi nodded.

"Me neither." Xu Yiru agreed.

"I ate before."

Seeing Han Yi's surprised look, Zhao Youzhen calmly explained.

"When I was traveling in Israel, I ate Israeli salad with hummus...it was pretty good for weight loss."

"Is it delicious?" Han Yi walked side by side with her, switched to Chinese, and asked in a low voice.

"Unappetizing."

Zhao Youzhen couldn't help but look at Han Yi more.

Why do you think I said 'quite weight loss'?
"Okay." Han Yi sighed softly, cheering himself up in his heart.

Just a lunch.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't taste good... After all, the main task today is to sign Madison Bill, not to find the best Jewish chef in the entire Hamptons.

Bear with it, it will pass.
