Chapter 279 290 [Buy a luxury house for Qingxia, audition Nicole Kidman]

6 month 5 number.

A plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

An hour later, the car slowly arrived at the top of the mountain in Beverly Hills, one of the top luxury residential areas in Los Angeles.

Li Yishu supported Qingxia, who was wearing a round-brimmed flower hat, and walked out of the car. She looked up at the huge mansion in front of her that looked like a palace, and said in astonishment: “This…”

“How is it? I bought it specially for you.”

Li Yishu smiled and said, “I originally wanted to find someone to redecorate it, but considering that the decoration might contain formaldehyde, I just had someone replace the furniture and equipment inside and outside.”

“This should cost a lot of money, right?”

Qingxia was not a person without good taste. She had heard of the name of Beverly Hills to some extent. The houses here were much more expensive than the mansions on The Peak in Hong Kong.

Li Yishu said calmly, “Not bad, more than 20 million.”

More than 20 million? That must be US dollars!

Qingxia had seen mansions worth hundreds of millions of dollars before, but when she thought that this was bought by Li Yishu specifically for her to live in, she felt extremely sweet inside.

Mother Lin, who had come with her daughter to give birth, felt a lot more relieved when she saw this. When she first learned that her daughter was pregnant, she was very happy, thinking that she had finally come to her senses and was going to get married.

But when she learned that the man was ten years younger than her, and most importantly, Qingxia had no plans to get married, Mother Lin was very resistant at that moment. Their family was not a wealthy family, but it was considered a well-off family.

Lin’s father is a doctor. He ran a clinic in his early years and later worked in clothing factories, restaurants and hotels. His family conditions are considered to be good. Although Lin’s mother is a housewife, she has also worked hard with Lin’s father for many years.

It’s not like your daughter is unwanted. How can you not want to get married after she gets pregnant?

But later Qingxia still persuaded Mother Lin, and Li Yishu also behaved politely when she went to Taiwan this time. In addition, she had achieved such success at such a young age, so Mother Lin finally let it go.

Mother Lin was born in the Republic of China and is not a very old-fashioned person. After learning that the man was Lee Yi-su, she also learned a lot from various sources. Moreover, she had seen him in person, so she had no choice but to agree.

My daughter is old. If I don’t give birth to this child, she might not be able to have children in the future.

Now Li Yishu has generously prepared a top-notch luxury house worth a lot of money, so Mother Lin has to be happy no matter how unwilling she is.

Soon, a group of three people entered the house led by the nanny.

Li Yishu put the suitcase in the living room and began to look around the mansion. This was his first time here and he had always asked Amy to help him with the house and its interior. Now, after a look, the overall look was okay. Some old furniture had been replaced with new ones and the corresponding equipment was also fully equipped.

“Auntie, Sister Qingxia, I’ll take you upstairs for a tour. This is my first time in this house, too.”

Li Yishu smiled and took Qingxia and Lin’s mother upstairs and began to visit each room.

This top-notch luxury home is located on the top of a mountain. It has a prime location overlooking the hilly terrain of Los Angeles, the beautiful mountains in the distance, and even the Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood sign.

The villa has three floors with an ingenious layout and complete functions: the top floor is a spacious bedroom area, the middle is the living space, and the bottom floor is a leisure and entertainment area.

The mansion also has complete supporting facilities, including a living room, 7 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, a private cinema, a gym, a private swimming pool and a spacious terrace.

Amy also learned about Qingxia’s situation from her boss. She was shocked, but she also had someone prepare a baby room and bought various baby supplies, filling the room up.

Mother Lin is a worldly-wise person, but after a brief tour of this luxury house, she truly understood the difference between having a little money and being very rich.

Their home in Taiwan is also a single-family villa, but compared to this one, it is nothing.

Mother Lin couldn’t help but exclaimed sincerely: “This house is really nice.”

Li Yishu smiled and said, “As long as Auntie likes it, I have already let Sister Qingxia register the house. Auntie can come here with Uncle for vacation every year. There are many flowers and trees around here, and it is quite cool in the summer. It is a good place to escape the summer heat.”

Hearing this, Mother Lin’s eyes immediately lit up. She originally thought that this house was bought by Li Yishu for Qingxia to give birth, but she didn’t expect that it would be directly settled on her daughter.

Qingxia’s face changed slightly, and she said hurriedly: “How come you have settled down on my head? This is too expensive, you should…”

Li Yishu interrupted her directly and said, “Okay, Sister Qingxia, let’s not talk about this anymore. You and Auntie can take a look around first. I’ll go downstairs and tell Aunt Huang to prepare dinner. By the way, I’ll let her introduce you to the surrounding supporting facilities later.”

“Ok.”

After watching Li Yishu leave, Qingxia had mixed feelings. On the one hand, she was happy that Li Yishu valued her and bought this luxury house and let her live in it. On the other hand, she felt that this house was so expensive, more than 20 million US dollars, which was almost enough for her hard work in the past 20 years.

No one knows a daughter better than her mother. Seeing Qingxia’s tangled look, Mother Lin patted her arm and said, “Don’t worry so much.”

“But it’s too expensive!”

Qingxia had a headache. It was not that she was unwilling to accept Li Yishu’s kindness. Not to mention the two old villas in Shanghai, the main thing was the Pudong land that she cooperated with Mr. Xu Lu and Mr. Tang. Although Qingxia herself invested in the Pudong land, without Li Yishu’s guidance, the Tangchen Group might not take her with it.

She had already gotten a bargain by investing in the land and getting shares, and now with this Beverly Hills mansion worth more than 20 million US dollars, she was not just getting a bargain, but a huge bargain.

“Yes, more than 20 million US dollars! But this also shows that Xiao Li treats you very well. He can buy this valuable mansion for you, which means he values ​​you.”

Mother Lin nodded in agreement. This house was really expensive. Even after years of business, the Lin family might not be worth more than 20 million US dollars. Now Li Yishu was selling a house like this. One could imagine how much it was worth.

Hearing Mother Lin say this, Qingxia felt quite happy.

Yes, if he is willing to spend so much money to buy her a house, it means he values ​​her.

Otherwise, who would be willing to spend more than 20 million US dollars for nothing?
Children? If Lee Ye-seok really wants a child, there are many people willing to give birth to one for him. The title of Godfather of Asian Cinema is not just a boast.

As Qingxia herself knows, Li Yishu has several confidantes around him, not to mention those female stars who want to get to the top.

noon.

After Li Yishu accompanied Qingxia and Lin’s mother to eat a meal prepared by nanny Huang Ma at home, she was also very satisfied with Huang Ma’s cooking skills.

The nanny, Huang Ma, was a spinster whom Amy specially invited from Hong Kong. Her ancestral home was in Shunde. She is in her 50s this year. In the s, she went to Hong Kong and started working as a spinster, specializing in working as a nanny for wealthy families.

She was doing well as a nanny in Hong Kong, but the client was going to immigrate to Canada. Considering that Huang Ma didn’t know English and it would be hard to live in Canada, they gave her extra money so that she could return to her hometown in mainland China to enjoy her old age. But when Huang Ma returned to mainland China, her parents had passed away and her two younger brothers had become grandfathers. Although she was treated very well, she hadn’t been home for more than 20 years and their relationship had become estranged. So she left some money for her two younger brothers and returned to Hong Kong to see if she could still find a job.

It just so happened that Amy found her through an agent. After an interview, she learned that she was a spinster and invited her to the United States.

Huang Ma was hesitant at first, but after taking care of the pregnant woman and returning to Hong Kong after giving birth, she readily agreed.

Mother Lin was very satisfied with the food cooked by Huang: “Sister Huang, your food is delicious.”

Huang Ma smiled happily: “As long as the old lady likes it.”

Seeing her standing at the kitchen door eating, Qingxia also waved and said, “Auntie Huang, sit down and eat together, it’s okay.”

“No need, ma’am. I’m fine here.” Aunt Huang smiled. Although it was the first time she met these customers today, she could feel their kindness, not to mention that Qingxia was a popular star.

That’s right, she recognized Qingxia’s identity. After all, a spinster just never married, but she didn’t lock herself up at home and never saw anyone. She had never been to the cinema, but she could occasionally watch TV news and read newspapers at the homes of her regular customers.

“Okay, Sister Qingxia, if Aunt Huang likes to eat there, let her eat there.”

Seeing that Qingxia was about to say something, Li Yishu interrupted her. Although he had never met a spinster, he had seen the movie “A Simple Life” starring Andy Lau, and the character Tao Jie in the movie was actually a spinster.

On the surface she is a nanny, but in reality she is also a member of the male protagonist’s family. The relationship between the master and the servant is very good, but as the saying goes, although the relationship is good, in essence it is still an employment relationship.

Huang Ma has been a nanny for more than 20 years and has formed a habit of not eating at the table but eating in the kitchen.

It is true that Qingxia means well, but others may not be happy about it.

“Then Aunt Huang, do you want to order some food…”

“No, ma’am. I left some food for myself. It’s enough for me to eat.”

“Ok.”

Seeing that Huang Ma was acting very “unfriendly”, Qingxia didn’t say anything else.

After dinner, Mother Lin was tired from the flight and went to the guest room on the second floor to rest. Li Yishu also helped Qingxia to the master bedroom on the top floor.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the two sat on a large sofa, looking out the window at the sunny day, the lush flowers and trees, and some Hollywood buildings in the distance.

The view is wide and the scenery is beautiful, and Qingxia’s mood also becomes wonderful.

She touched her gradually rounding belly and thought how nice it was to live like this!
Li Yishu smiled and asked, “What are you thinking about?”

“I’m not thinking about anything. I just feel that life is so good now, with me, you, and the baby.”

Qingxia grinned, she really enjoyed such a comfortable life without any worries. Ever since she started semi-retirement, she had been longing to live such a sweet life with her family of three.

Now it has been implemented.

Li Yishu put his arm around Qingxia’s shoulders and said with a smile, “I will stay in the United States with you most of the time in the next few months.”

“Well, you are still young, so you should focus on your career.” Qingxia leaned into his arms, looked at the scenery in the distance, and suddenly asked, “Auntie Huang is a self-combed woman, right?”

Li Yishu was slightly stunned, “How did you know?”

“I can feel it.” Qingxia smiled and said, “There are quite a lot of spinsters in Hong Kong. I have seen a few of them, and they are similar to Huang Ma.”

Li Yishu nodded and said, “Yes, I asked Amy to help find one. When you have the baby, you will need someone to take care of it when you return to Hong Kong. With Huang Ma’s help, you will be much more relaxed and don’t have to worry about the media finding out.”

“Yeah, it’s pretty good.” Qingxia said with emotion: “In fact, they are quite pitiful. I’ve heard people say before that most of the women who comb their hair do so for the sake of their families. They send all the money they earn back to their hometown every month to support their parents and raise their younger brothers and sisters.”

“Yes, the limitations of the times and the alternative oppression of feudal society made a group of women bear too much.”

Li Yishu nodded in agreement. After watching Andy Lau’s “A Simple Life” that year, he also became interested in the group of spinsters. After looking up information in the field, he had to admit that these spinsters were all pitiful people.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, women from many coastal areas went to Southeast Asia to work. For the sake of their parents and siblings, they tied their hair up and never married. Because they lived and ate at the homes of their clients, they sent their monthly wages back to their hometowns.

It is not until they are in their forties and their parents and siblings’ conditions improve that they start saving money for their retirement, as if they have been sending and saving money all their lives.

However, because of the silent contributions of these spinsters, their relatives in their hometown are still very grateful to them. After all, people have emotions, and only a very small number of ungrateful people would take all this for granted.

After sighing for a while, Li Yishu said, “By the way, Sister Qingxia, Aunt Huang doesn’t understand English, so I’ll leave the grocery shopping to someone else. Every day someone from the supermarket will deliver the groceries to the front door. When the time comes, tell them what you and Auntie want to eat. I’ll leave the supermarket’s phone number later.”

“Okay, I understand.” Qingxia smiled and nodded.

The two were chatting, and Li Yishu saw Qingxia yawning and feeling sleepy, so she helped her to bed to rest.

He went to the study next door, picked up his phone and called Harvey, telling him that he had come to the United States and that an audition could be arranged in the next few days.

Two days later.

Art Film Company.

Dozens of young and beautiful actresses crowded into the door of the interview room. They were all here to interview for roles in “Chicago”. Among them was supermodel Cindy Crawford, who was specially invited.

Everyone was in Hollywood, and many of them knew each other, so they formed small circles and started chatting.

Although there was competition among each other, most people just looked warily at a woman sitting in the corner. She was beautiful and had an arrogant look, and seemed to be very disdainful of these auditioning actresses.

In fact, she does have the capital because she has a good husband, Tom Cruise.

That’s right, this woman is Nicole Kidman, who became famous in the United States because of her marriage to Tang Liang.

It is also the biggest threat to everyone present.

As for the more famous Cindy Crawford? No one takes her seriously. A model who wants to cross over to become an actress will be blocked by her acting skills.
