Ps. Thanks to book friends Xing Xuan Chen Yu and Hahaha Ga for the book coin rewards!

"Daughter!"

Just as she walked into the airport lobby, Miss Luo Quan heard her mother's surprised shout.

Miss Luo Quan looked up and saw a man and a woman walking toward her.

"Dad, Mom." Miss Luo Quan responded with a smile.

The man looked at Miss Luo Quan, his pupils trembling slightly, his lips whispering, but in the end, he didn't speak, his eyes full of joy and tenderness.

After seeing her father's appearance clearly, Miss Luo Quan finally understood why her mother had been thinking about him for eighteen years.

Although her father was also of mixed race, there was no trace of yellow race features on his face. In his deep eye sockets were a pair of eyes as bright as sapphires.

Her daughter's high-bridged nose was completely inherited from her father. His facial features were like being carved by God with divine power, with perfect curves, and the jaw curve was as straight as if cut by a knife.

Such a face could only be described as "handsome to a tragic degree." No wonder her mother could forgive her father so easily.

Miss Luo Quan's appearance completely inherited her father's exquisite and unparalleled characteristics, but she didn't inherit her mother's gentle eyebrows and charming lips at all. If she could neutralize them, maybe she could eat both East and West.

"Let's get in the car first. You must be very tired after sitting on the plane for half a day." Luo Ni stepped forward to hold Miss Luo Quan's arm, naturally leaving the work of carrying the suitcase to the man.

After getting in the car, Miss Luo Quan chatted with her father for a few sentences. This was the first time she had communicated with her father since she could remember.

It was only then that she knew her father's full name: Eric Frederick Clark Albert, referred to as Eric.

Although Eric's ancestors had British royal blood, tracing the source actually contained German blood.

This could be considered a major feature of the European royal family. Whether it is the British, Spanish, German, or Tsarist Russian royal family, they are more or less related.

In that era, intermarriage between royal families was very common, so it also caused the royal bloodline to be very chaotic.

Luo Ni's family background was very clean. Her ancestors for three generations were poor peasants. She relied entirely on her own hands and the leadership of the Party to have everything today. This is also the appearance of most ordinary Chinese people.

Of course, Miss Luo Quan soon tasted the beauty of the bourgeoisie.

Eric drove the car into a high-end community, where you could see a two- or three-story villa every distance, with a lawn in front of the door, a swimming pool behind the courtyard, and a garage underground.

In the most densely populated but smallest Manhattan area, such villas are actually rare, and each one is almost a sky-high price.

Miss Luo Quan didn't know the specific price, but with her current savings, she was afraid that she could only afford a down payment.

"Mom, what does Dad do? How can he buy a house in this kind of place?" Miss Luo Quan asked Luo Ni in a low voice.

"I heard him say it seems to be real estate business, and he has industries in both the UK and the United States."

"No wonder..." As soon as Miss Luo Quan heard that he was in real estate, she immediately understood.

What is the most profitable in the 21st century? The first is definitely oil, the second is the internet, and the third is probably real estate.

Especially real estate tycoons, the assets under their names are all calculated in "buildings." It is difficult for ordinary people to imagine how much money they can earn in a year.

Miss Luo Quan used to think she was very rich, but now compared with real billionaires, it is really not worth mentioning.

"This is actually the property your grandfather bought in the United States before, but he didn't come to live here much after buying it, so it was transferred to my name." Eric heard the discussion between mother and daughter and explained in Chinese.

While talking, he drove the car into his own garage.

The garage was very spacious. In addition to the Maybach Eric drove, there were several luxury cars with cool shapes parked, five of which were convertible sports cars. She couldn't recognize the specific brand. It was estimated that it was either Lamborghini or Porsche.

These two can also be considered famous brands in sports cars.

"This garage is bigger than my house in Shibuya, Tokyo." Miss Luo Quan looked at this garage, which was more magnificent than an ordinary finely decorated house, and couldn't help but sigh.

Luo Ni was puzzled: "Isn't our house in Adachi Ward?"

Miss Luo Quan explained: "That set in Adachi Ward is too crowded. The company's staff housing is in Shibuya, so I asked them to arrange one for me. They said it was rented to me, but it's actually almost the same as giving it to me."

Luo Ni laughed: "Daughter is capable, she got a house without a sound."

"Aunt Luo, are you back?" The garage elevator opened at some point, and a little boy as handsome as her father walked out of it.

"This is your younger brother, just call him Gao Liang." Luo Ni introduced her daughter's half-brother to her daughter.

"My name is Miss Luo Quan." Miss Luo Quan didn't have an English name, so she just said Miss Luo Quan, not knowing if he could understand.

"Hello." Gao Liang's tone sounded quite cold, but his expression was very kind, and she didn't know what kind of personality he had.

"Let's go up first." Eric walked into the elevator and said.

A family of four walked into the elevator together.

Her father's villa had two floors in total. The first floor was very spacious, and the second floor was also very spacious.

The luxury of the decoration in the villa could not be described by "gold and jade in glorious splendor." Miss Luo Quan couldn't recognize the brands of all the furniture and electrical appliances she could see, but she could connect them with the word "luxury" in the first place.

The layout of the house was estimated to have been designed by a designer. The overall style was relatively simple, but the simplicity revealed atmosphere and details everywhere. The walls were also hung with art, such as oil paintings, modern paintings, and some handmade products.

The decoration was quite good, but the only drawback was that it was too empty. If more items could be placed to fill the blank, maybe it would be much more pleasing to the eye.

"Are you hungry? We have all finished dinner. Do you want me to make you a portion?" Luo Ni asked her daughter.

"Mom, I've been with you for eighteen years, don't I know your craft?" Miss Luo Quan showed a teasing smile.

Luo Ni's face flushed: "What nonsense are you talking about? My craft has improved a lot recently! The roast suckling pig tonight was made by me. How do you think it tastes?"

Luo Ni looked at Eric and Gao Liang, father and son.

The two looked at each other and smiled: "Very delicious."

"See!" Luo Ni looked at her daughter, looking proud.

"Forget it, tell me where the kitchen is, I'll do it myself." Miss Luo Quan stretched. After getting off the plane, she felt sleepy suddenly. After eating this meal, she had to go to sleep quickly.

American eating habits are completely different from China. Coming to the kitchen, Miss Luo Quan didn't find rice, nor did she find pork. There were a lot of beef and vegetables. In the refrigerator, she also saw a plate of roast suckling pig left over.

"This roast suckling pig looks a bit black?" Miss Luo Quan frowned, poking the pig's butt with a steel fork. It was hard, and she didn't know if it was because it was frozen.

In her impression, roast suckling pig should be very soft.

"Where do you have so many questions?" Luo Ni closed the refrigerator anxiously, not wanting her daughter to see her failed work.

"Forget it, I'll just make some vegetable salad." Picking up two brightly colored tomatoes, Miss Luo Quan put them under the faucet and washed them.

Luo Ni cared: "You only eat this much at night?"

"Losing weight, my weight is almost breaking 100 pounds recently. If I get fatter, I'll grow a belly."

Luo Ni nodded: "That's true, I'm less than 90 pounds..."

"That's because you are only 1.68 meters tall..."

Mother and daughter started a mutual-teasing mode like enemies. Eric leaned against the kitchen door, just watching this scene quietly, with a happy smile on his lips.

After a simple "weight-loss meal," Miss Luo Quan went to the second floor to wash up and prepare to rest.

There were many rooms on the second floor, connected to each other, and the terrain was as complex as a maze. However, there were only three master bedrooms, each with a bathroom. Miss Luo Quan's was on the left, her parents' was in the middle, and her brother Gao Liang's was on the right.

Although she was very sleepy, Miss Luo Quan didn't forget her duty as a Bilibili content creator. While yawning, she edited the video until she arrived in the United States and met her parents.

Click upload, Miss Luo Quan, who felt light and free, finally smiled and fell asleep.

This sleep lasted until 11:00 AM the next day.

This was the first time Miss Luo Quan woke up so late. Checking her phone first thing had basically become her habit.

As usual, there were many private messages. The video posted last night had already exceeded 500,000 views, but the comment section was all asking her to comment on a person named Liu Liyuan.

"Who is Liu Liyuan?" Miss Luo Quan had never heard of this name at all.

Searching on Bilibili, she saw a video with over two million views.

The title of the video was "Sweet Air." The chubby girl in the video should be Liu Liyuan.

In the video, she seemed to be standing in front of a university podium, saying in broken English: "I grew up in a city in China. Every time I go out, I must wear a mask. Otherwise, I might get sick."

"But when I came to the United States and breathed the first breath of American air, I put the mask away. The air here is so sweet and fresh, with an extreme and strange luxury..."

The video ended here. Perhaps the uploader couldn't stand it anymore, so they only edited it to this point. Maybe there were more disgusting remarks later.

Is American air sweet? It feels no different from China.

On the contrary, the villa she lives in now does have a strange luxury, but this has nothing to do with the air. This is entirely the power of money.

Meaningless. This Liu Liyuan is a standard sheepdog. In the video, she is fawning over the United States. As for why, it is not clear, but it is nothing more than those few things: green card, American favor, or even American citizenship.

Miss Luo Quan thought for a while and felt that it was necessary for her to post a video to tell everyone what the air in the United States tastes like. ===== CHAPTER 118 =====
