America's Road to Wealth

The current head of the Li family, the largest conglomerate in the Han Kingdom, Li Zaixi, has four children.

There is one boy and three girls, and the eldest son Li Rongzai is undoubtedly the natural heir.

Of three daughters.

The second princess Li Xuxian, who was born in 1973, has gradually become the most embarrassing existence in the family.

In terms of beauty, she is not as good as the dazzling eldest sister Li Fuzhen; in terms of popularity, she is far less favored than the younger sister Li Xinyu; therefore, Li Xuxian was called the "least valued" member of the Li family by the meddlesome Hanguo media.

But from Li Xuxian’s personal perspective.

She is also a blessing in disguise. She does not need to be entrusted with important responsibilities by her father right after graduating from college like her brothers and sisters, nor does she need to be watched by countless pairs of eyes just because she is favored.

Li Xuxian has always lived a relatively free life. Even after finishing college in Hanguo, he could come to New York to study.

When choosing a major here in New York, she can still make her own decision and study the fashion design industry that interests her most.

If nothing else, Li Xuxian should have become a fashion designer.

At least now, she is working hard towards this goal.

Li Xuxian, who knew that he was caught in the middle, neither above nor below, had always been the least ambitious in the family.

Compared to the brother and sister who started fighting openly and covertly several years ago, compared to the younger sister who is highly admired by the media in Han Dynasty.

Li Xuxian can be said to have a relatively transparent life in the family, but he is probably the most comfortable one.

This makes her character much more average than her brothers, sisters, and sisters.

To put it nicely, it is moderate and restrained. To put it mildly, he is a bit timid, even resigned and introverted.

Like today, when she came to see her sister, she originally just wanted to keep in touch with her sister and return to Han Kingdom tomorrow.

After seeing her sister, Li Xuxian was a little surprised. She didn't expect that her sister would actually live in a Manhattan mansion apartment with such a good location and such an expensive price.

Even the Li family cannot live in such a house as they say.

A house worth tens of millions of dollars would be worth tens of billions in Korean won.

Now, when 2001 and 2002 intersect, it is a bit ridiculously expensive anyway.

The sisters were in New York, and their father only bought a small apartment worth more than 2 million US dollars for them to live in occasionally during school holidays.

After knowing that the house belonged to Abel and knowing the relationship between Abel and his sister, Li Xuxian became slightly calmer.

If Abel Smith could afford to live in such a house, that would be normal.

Li Xuxian and her classmates at Parsons School of Design said that maybe half of the houses in Manhattan belong to Smith.

But Li Xuxian also felt strange.

According to Li Xuxian's understanding. My sister, Li Xinyu, is living in the home of my best friend and her boyfriend.

At the same time, my sister, my best friend's boyfriend, is also my own sister's lover...the relationship is very confusing!

He was obsessed with studying in school and paid little attention to outside things. Li Xuxian, who seldom paid attention to family affairs, couldn't understand.

Watching my sister excitedly taking me around the villa, it was like introducing her to her own home.

Li Xuxian couldn't help but asked her sister:

"This seems to be Mr. Smith's house... Xinyu, why do I feel like it's your house? Because you seem to like it so much."

Li Xinyu's response at that time paused for several seconds before coming out.

"Uh... yes. The house is not mine. But that doesn't stop me from liking it. And he is my best friend... No, he is my nephew's father. That can be considered our relative, a relative's house. I like it. It’s nothing, right?”

Li Xuxian felt that her younger sister was making excuses, but she would not expose her.

Perhaps because they haven't seen each other for a long time, Li Xinyu is very enthusiastic about her second sister.

When Abel returns to 138 East 65th Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Li Xinyu also held her second sister's hand, chatting and watching TV in the small living room among the guest rooms and bedrooms on the second floor.

Abel's return made Li Xuxian a little cautious.

This second sister-in-law of his has only seen him for the first time now.

From Li Xuxian's point of view, she only felt that this sister's lover was almost the most handsome foreigner she had ever seen.

She was also very tall. Li Xuxian, the tallest among the three sisters, looked like a little bird standing in front of him.

After meeting Abel with his own eyes, Li Xuxian remembered the fashion devil Anna Wintour, whom she admired very much and had always regarded as her idol, and her crazy praise and evaluation of him - "As if he were alive and walking in the world. Like Apollo."

I don’t know if it was Anna Wintour’s crazy admiration that made Li Xuxian fall in love with her.

It's still Li Xuxian's own aesthetics, which happens to be the reason.

When Abel stood in front of her, Li Xuxian's heart beat faster and her face became a little warm.

When Li Xuxian was looking at Abel, Abel was also looking at his "second sister-in-law".

Compared with Li Fuzhen, Li Xuxian is not as pretty and delicate as her eldest sister, and she still has short hair.

In terms of appearance, if Li Fuzhen scores 90 points, Li Xinyu can score 80-85.

Li Xuxian only scored 70 points.

Compared with Li Xinyu, not to mention the young girl's temperament that is rare among rich girls, her youthful and pure age, and the most powerful and exaggerated car lights.

Li Xuxian has none of these.

To be honest, Abel was a little disappointed.

This second sister-in-law, I can only say that she is not ugly, but she is not very delicate or beautiful.

Fortunately, it may be because I studied fashion design, so I know how to dress well, and my temperament looks good.

In addition, it may be a unique advantage of women in the Li family. Li Xuxian's car lights are not as big and bright as Li Xinyu's.

But compared to the eldest sister Li Fuzhen, Abel looked at her naked eye through her clothes, and she seemed to be slightly older.

For most Asian women, this should be considered a large or extra-large size.

According to the scoring standards in Abel's mind.

The three sisters of the Li family have a perfect score of 100 points in terms of body appearance and other aspects. The score should be:

Li Fuzhen, appearance 85, figure 80, temperament 90, identity (widow) 90, personality 90, total score 435.

Li Xinyu has an appearance of 80, a figure of 90, a temperament of 85, an identity (girlfriend, best friend, mistress, little sister) of 90, a personality of 80, and a total score of 425.

Li Xuxian, appearance 70, figure 80, temperament 80, identity (mistress, sister-in-law) 80, personality unknown, currently has a total score of 310.

Even if the personality is perfect, it would only be 410 at most.

Much worse than her younger sisters.

Abel suddenly lost most of his interest in her in certain aspects.

Fortunately, she also has an achievement item. Without her, Abel would not be able to obtain this achievement.

This allowed Abel to maintain a little bit of interest in her.

"Is it Luo Li?" Looking at Li Xuxian, who was very reserved and about 1.7 meters tall, Abel said with a smile:

"Anna and Jessica, you have told me about you. Hello, this is our first meeting. Let's get to know each other. I am Abel Smith. You should have heard of me."

Luo Li is Li Xuxian’s English name.

The English names of the three sisters are Anna, Luo Li and Jessica.

It is said that these are also some of the most popular English names for women among the Han people.

"Hello..." Li Xuxian's voice was very nervous, and she shook Abel's hand. She only felt that his hand was so big and warm.

Li Xuxian felt that her two hands might not be as big as Abel's hand, "I am Luo Li Li, and I am also Li Xuxian. Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith."

Abel waved his hand to her, "Just call me by my name. Luo Li, don't be like a stranger."

Li Xuxian lowered his head, not daring to look at him. He just responded in a low voice, "Okay."

At this time, Li Xinyu came over with a smile and snuggled directly to Abel.

When she was in Han State, Li Xiaomei was used to this.

When she came to the United States, little Laura only stayed for one day and then left.

No one is watching or getting in the way. Li Xinyu became more and more unscrupulous and had become accustomed to it.

At this time, the second sister was in front of her. This young literary girl didn't even want to avoid talking about it. She directly stood next to Abel as his girlfriend and said to Li Xuxian:

"I've already said it. Sister, Abel is very gentle. He is not as harsh as others say."

Li Xuxian didn't dare to look at Abel, but of course there was no pressure to look at his sister.

He looked at Li Xinyu clinging to his "brother-in-law" unscrupulously in front of him.

Li Xuxian's eyes widened in surprise.

When Abel didn't come back just now, Li Xinyu wasn't like this and was a little shy.

Now that Abel is back, I don't know what happened. Li Xinyu seems to have dropped a lot of IQ.

Abel discovered it.

Although he is not afraid that Li Xuxian will know this, after all, he has already taken care of all the eldest and younger sisters.

If Li Xuxian hadn't been so average-looking, he might have wanted to start working on "Three Plum Blossoms" right now.

But compared to Li Xinyu, Abel is still more mature in this regard.

He smiled and took a step away from Li Xinyu and said to the two sisters:

"I won't disturb your reminiscing about old times. Let's have dinner together tonight. I have some things to deal with. I'll go to the study first. You guys can chat slowly..."

Seeing that he wanted to deal with things, Li Xinyu nodded obediently, like a little wife or girlfriend, "Then go and do your work."

Abel smiled, nodded slightly to Li Xuxian, turned around and walked upstairs.

Until his figure disappeared above the stairs.

Li Xinyu reluctantly looked back.

Li Xinyu was not even half a month old when Abel got her body.

She and Abel were currently in the midst of a passionate affair.

As long as he is around, Li Xinyu can't wait to be with him every day.

This caused her IQ to drop a lot.

Li Xinyu turned around and saw her second sister looking at her with a strange look.

The little sister of the Li family asked curiously: "Sister, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Li Xuxian already felt strange that Li Xinyu lived in Abel's house.

After returning from Abel, Li Xinyu showed various small movements, words, expressions, and even eyes.

It even made Li Xuxian suspect that there was something going on with her little sister and Abel.

After thinking for a while, Li Xuxian whispered: "Xinyu, are you and Mr. Smith... the same as the eldest sister?"

Li Xinyu's beautiful eyes widened.

But the literary young girl has her own special features.

I feel that since the second sister has discovered it, there is no need to continue to cover it up.

Li Xinyu actually admitted it openly.

"Yes. I have the same relationship with him as my eldest sister."

Li Xinyu said very directly: "Even my parents, and my brother. They all support me, and my sister also supports me. That's how it is, just like you think, second sister."

This time it was Li Xuxian's turn to be surprised.

"How could it be like this!" Li Xuxian shouted in surprise.

"I feel bad too. But reality just happened."

After talking about it, Li Xinyu seemed very relaxed, "Maybe you can call mom, dad, or eldest sister."

Li Xuxian gritted his teeth and took out his cell phone from his small bag, "I can make a call!"

Not to mention the interaction between the two Li sisters below.

Abel actually arrived at the study on the fourth floor.

The study room is very large, about a hundred square meters.

The entire fourth floor, except for a small living room.

The remaining space is occupied by a study room and a larger master bedroom.

In the study room of hundreds of square meters, there is a heavy desk in the middle against the wall, as well as matching chairs.

The study room is surrounded by closets, and there are many bookshelves in the middle aisle. The bookshelves and closets are filled with books.

The collection of more than 2,000 volumes is all inside.

Abel walked over casually and saw a thick book on the table.

The house is cleaned every day, but Li Xinyu is probably the only one who dares to take out the books and read them.

This little girl loves reading very much, and Abel guessed that the book on the table was what she was reading.

He picked it up, opened it, and found that it was not a book, but a thick photo album.

Abel flipped through it and found that it might be a photo album from the Second World War.

The owner of the photo album may have been a military reporter at the time, or a newspaper staff at the time.

There are many photos of some European battlefields and cities during World War II.

Abel simply took it, sat on the comfortable lounge chair, and flipped through the photo album at will.

In the front, his demeanor was very relaxed. But when he turned to the back, his expression became serious.

Seeing the back, "Fuck, MLGBDXRBGZ!"

A classy and elegant Chinese sentence came out of the mouth of this standard Angsa ghost guy.

He closed the photo album directly and closed his eyes to calm down.

A few minutes later, Abel knocked on the desk.

Dong Dong——

A soft voice sounded.

Edward's figure immediately appeared at the door of the study.

"Call David over here," Abel said.

Soon David Jones' figure appeared in the study.

Abel threw the photo album on the desk to him, "Have someone look for it to see if there is anything similar, mainly similar to the photos at the back. Go to pawn shops, auction houses, and antique shops to look for it. Don't be in a hurry. Just look for it slowly. If you find it, keep it well so I can use it in the future."

David nodded, without asking the reason or anything else. He put the photo album away carefully and said softly: "No problem. Is there anything else? BOSS."

Abel waved his hand, and David took the photo album, turned and left the study, leaving Abel alone in the study.

Abel closed his eyes and lay half on the chair.

The photo album just now, some of the photos from the World War II era, made him extremely uncomfortable.

But at this time, Abel Smith was no longer the Chinese Internet writer.

He is already a pure capitalist, even if he is still young, he is not capital enough in some aspects.

From a capitalist's perspective, after feeling unhappy, his innermost thoughts are to maximize profits.

How to maximize the benefits of this kind of thing?

Collect them all and wait for the day when China rises or Neon declines.

Give them as gifts and send them back to that country.

Then when this matter was exposed in the media.

The people in power and the people of that country will definitely be grateful to him as a foreign friend.

For Abel Smith now, this is maximizing benefits.

And if it were two years ago, when he first arrived in New York, he would have discovered this kind of thing.

Then his approach must be to immediately give these things to China for free.

But two years later, his choices and approaches were different.

It can only be said that a person's character and even his ideas are always related to the environment and his vital interests.

Chinese Internet writer Abel and capitalist Abel are already two completely different people in some respects.

This is just like the Chinese capitalists, who are also qualified to be hung from street lamps.

Just because they are Chinese nationals does not mean they are not worthy of hanging street lights...

Of course, there may also be a rare number of patriotic capitalists.

But such businessmen cannot be called capitalists for their country.

They are patriots, or patriotic businessmen and patriotic entrepreneurs.

They shouldn't be capitalists anyway. Because the biggest characteristic of capitalists is that everything serves capital.

Like Abel now, he is already qualified to be hung as a street lamp.

Think about the benefits you may gain from this matter in the future, as well as the things you may gain now.

After roughly thinking about it, Abel lost interest in staying in the study.

He came out of the study and walked downstairs.

Go to the middle of the second and third floors.

Abel heard the sounds of sisters Li Xinyu and Li Xuxian quarreling quietly in the small living room below.

But they were speaking in Korean, and Abel couldn’t understand them at all.

He simply stepped a little wider to let the two sisters below know of his arrival.

Sure enough, after hearing Abel's footsteps, Li Xuxian and Li Xinyu's voices became quiet.

When Abel came to the two of them again, all he saw on their faces was smiles.

"It's almost time." Abel looked at the two sisters with a smile, "Do you want to eat at home or go out to eat?"

Before Li Xinyu could make a decision, Abel continued: "Lori only comes here once in a while. Let's go out to eat. What do you want to eat?"

Li Xinyu looked at her second sister, who just smiled and said nothing.

The younger sister of the Li family said to her man: "Second sister likes Italian food the most, let's go eat Italian food."

Abel nodded, "So is there a restaurant you like? Or a restaurant you want to eat at?"

When it comes to eating, except that Li Xinyu doesn't like traditional Korean food, she actually doesn't care.

Li Xinyu simply handed over the decision-making power to Li Xuxian.

Li Xuxian hesitated and gave the address and the name of the restaurant.

Li Xuxian goes to this restaurant occasionally.

The reason that attracted her to go there was that it was the best restaurant in Manhattan for Italian cuisine.

Also because this restaurant is located in the Chelsea district of Manhattan, many big names and celebrities in the fashion and clothing industries often go there.

For Li Xuxian, whose dream is to become a fashion designer, this restaurant is her dream restaurant.

It would be even better if you could meet big names in the fashion and clothing industries, take photos or get autographs inside.

It's a pity that she went several times and never encountered it.

Abel confirmed nonchalantly: "Then let's go here. It's not too far from here to Chelsea."

Abel remembered that the golden house where he raised another Jessica, Jessica Alba, was also there.

Chelsea is located on the west side of Manhattan Island, approximately south of 36th or 34th Street, north of 14th Street, west of Fifth or Sixth Avenue, and east of the Hudson River.

After the 1980s, the Chelsea district of Manhattan attracted many American artists to gather here, making it one of the art centers of New York.

For example, it is very famous in the world and is home to two of the best fashion design schools in New York and even the United States - New York Fashion Institute of Design and Parsons School of Design. Both of these schools are also located here.

Li Xuxian is a student at Parsons School of Design.

Abel just gave some instructions and the staff would make arrangements.

He only needs to take the two Li sisters to the door of the first floor and get into the Cadillac Monster in the middle of the motorcade.

Around six o'clock in the evening.

The convoy set off, aiming for the Bellini restaurant in Chelsea.
