After sending the man away, Shirley, who was still sore from last night, no longer held on, gave a few words to the maid in the villa, and returned to the bedroom to catch up on her sleep. Unfortunately, I didn't sleep for long before I was woken up by a knock on the door. I sat up angrily. After receiving the reminder from the waitress who came to knock on the door, I remembered that I had made an appointment with someone to go shopping together today.
However, my body is almost broken, how can I still have the energy to go shopping
I don't feel sleepy anymore.
Instructing the maid to attend to the guests downstairs first, Shirley stood up slowly, dressed up, changed into a white cotton dress that looked both homely and youthful, and then went downstairs.
This is also one of the many benefits that make Shirley very satisfied in the current luxurious life. The huge villa is freezing cold outside, but the inside can maintain a constant temperature of 23 degrees, so she can wear whatever she wants. In the past, this was completely It was something that Shirley couldn't even think about. It was winter, so she could only wrap herself up honestly.
Come downstairs to a living room with floor-to-ceiling windows that I usually like.
It's about nine o'clock, and the morning sun is just right.
The guests were two women. Compared to Shirley's long house dress, the two women were wearing standard winter clothes. Even though their coats had been taken off, they were still wrapped in a cardigan and obviously more than one layer of slacks. However, not to mention the delicate and beautiful faces, even if the clothes are a bit thick, it is still difficult to conceal the graceful figures of the two women.
This is a pair of sisters.
More accurately, cousins.
Among them, the elder sister is very famous in China and can be called a great beauty. She is 36 years old this year. She was once a famous domestic actor and dancer even more famous than Shirley. She has participated in such films as "Burning the Old Summer Palace" and "The Curtain" since the 1980s. In famous film and television dramas such as "Listening to the Government" and "Yang Guifei", her achievements in dance are even higher. Together with the famous "Peacock Princess", she is known as the two great dancing spirits in the north and the south, and she is also praised as the "Oriental Beauty God".
The younger sister was brought here to invite her elder sister, but she is also good at singing and dancing. At the age of 13, she was able to perform an erhu solo in a song and dance troupe.
The reason why the two women appear here is because of 'Tang Yun'.
Dame Zhou, who has participated in film and television dramas such as "Tang Minghuang", "Yang Guifei" and "Dunhuang Night Stories", has a deep knowledge of Tang Dynasty dance.
When the Tang Yun theme started, there was a need for some dance choreographers who were good at this kind of dance. Zhou Damei, who happened to be looking to go abroad in the past few years, was quickly chosen. She also met Shirley, and after some introduction and lobbying, she finally agreed. Join. Dame Zhou not only received an annual salary of US$100,000 for this, but the other party even expressed the hope that her cousin could come to the United States as her assistant, which was agreed.
And then there is now.
Because they had known each other before, compared to the first batch of teachers from the Guofeng Art Troupe who had always been relatively cold, Shirley got along better with the two cousins of Zhou Damei. During this time, they often invited each other to be their guests, or occasionally went shopping together.
However, the feeling here at Dame Zhou is exactly the opposite.
Back in China, Shirley could only look up to the 'Oriental Beauty God' of her generation. The beauty Zhou had participated in various big-name works and had appeared on the Spring Festival Gala many times. However, Shirley had nothing to do with her from beginning to end. Representative work.
Now, when they come to the United States, their identities have been completely reversed because of their relationship with a certain man.
Just like now, Shirley lives with her daughter in a luxurious manor near the sea in East Hampton, surrounded by servants, and has luxurious food and clothing. As for the Zhou sisters, they could only live in an ordinary apartment arranged for them by the art troupe. Even though this "ordinary" apartment was higher-end than most ordinary American residences, it was still too different from Shirley's mother and daughter.
Comparing one person to another will make people angry to death.
What's even more irritating is that not only can't you show it, but you also have to cater to the other person and get along with each other the way you want.
Because Shirley is basically the boss lady to the Guofeng Art Troupe, and Dame Zhou doesn't want to be at odds with her.
This has created the current delicate situation.
Beauty Zhou would even occasionally guess whether Shirley was doing it on purpose, just to draw their sisters to her side and show off her superiority.
However, so what.
Just like this, when seeing Shirley entering the door, Dame Zhou immediately stood up with her cousin and greeted Shirley affectionately.
"Shirley."
"Sister Shirley, good morning."
It was also Shirley's special request to call Shirley or Sister Shirley instead of Sister Liu, because the title of Sister Liu was too old, and the cousins could only cater to it.
Even, in order to agree on the title, they also gave themselves an English name.
Beauty Zhou chose Karen, and her cousin was Irene, Huang Irene.
Even if both parties chat in Chinese on weekdays, they always call each other by their English names.
Shirley greeted the two women equally warmly, and came forward to hug them affectionately like a Westerner would, before the three women sat down together.
Compared to the other two girls who were reserved, Shirley didn't care much about her image, lazily leaning on the couch that was exposed to the morning sun. After chatting for a while, she called a maid and asked her daughter if she was up. .
Knowing that Miu Miu was still lying in bed, Shirley asked the maid to wake up a little slacker.
It's already past nine o'clock. Even though it's Saturday, the girl still has to practice piano for an hour at ten o'clock. There is no future for her daughter in terms of studies. Shirley just hopes that she can be more versatile, so that she will be more likeable in the future.
The beautiful sisters Zhou waited patiently for Shirley to finish explaining, and then cousin Irene spoke first, with concern in her voice: "Sister Shirley, are you feeling unwell?"
"I was a little tired last night," Shirley responded vaguely with a slightly warm face, "Forget shopping, let's chat here."
Eileen had no objection: "In that case, let's chat. Sister Shirley, your place is really nice. Once you come here, you won't want to leave."
"Oh, then there's no need to leave."
With that said, Shirley called a waitress and asked her to open a bottle of red wine that she brought back when she took her daughter to France last time, and prepare some snacks and fruits.
Eileen waited for Shirley to finish her instructions, hesitated a little, and couldn't help but ask: "Sister Shirley, I saw a helicopter flying from your area this morning, or two, what's going on?"
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will receive cash and coins!
Erin tried her best to keep her tone calm and normal, but her eyes still flickered a little, and she was even worried that Shirley would be embarrassed by it.
Beauty Zhou was originally holding a cup of coffee that the waitress had brought to them while they were waiting. After hearing this, she paused for a moment and looked at Shirley curiously, waiting for her return.
See if you dare to admit it? !
Although Shirley looked careless, everyone was a great fairy who had experienced the world, not just a little girl. At least after a few glances, she could accurately capture certain information from the micro-expressions of the two sisters.
Do you think I feel guilty
In this world, any woman who can find a man like Simon Westeros is definitely not something worth feeling guilty about.
It's time to show off.
Pretending to ponder for a moment, Shirley said generously in the anticipation of the cousins: "Actually, as you all know, Simon spent the night here last night. I originally wanted him to see what we had compiled during this period. Let’s dance and introduce you again, but unfortunately he doesn’t have time this time, he is still very busy on the weekend.”
Seeing Shirley admit it like this, for a moment, the two beautiful sisters didn't know how to deal with it.
You actually admitted it like that
Shouldn't we be secretive
Is being Simon Westeros's lover worth showing off
Really shameless.
However, no matter what, whether these thoughts of the sisters are self-soothing or sour, only they know.
Compared to her cousin, who was not famous before, Dame Zhou's mood was even more complicated.
At first, Dame Zhou was a little emotional.
Someone actually offered her an annual salary of US$100,000 and invited her to be a teacher, as well as the opportunity to go abroad, and even brought her cousin with her in the end. Not to mention anything else, just an annual salary of 100,000 US dollars is more than the sum of all her income in the past few decades.
After all, even for China's top actors and dancers, the domestic entertainment industry, especially during the years when she was active, did not make any money at all. Even if the film and television dramas they participate in are very famous, they often only get a meager salary, and even in the early filming, there were times when they didn't have enough to eat.
Moreover, Dame Zhou doesn’t have the brains of a certain half-billion-dollar lady who participated in the Qing Palace trilogy together. In addition, her age is gradually reaching the limit. In recent years, she has been thinking about going abroad. Like many people who go abroad, she hopes to Get a prosperous and stable life abroad. It's best to find a good husband and get a green card as soon as possible.
If she hadn't received the invitation to this job, Dame Zhou would have almost already negotiated to open a dance school in the United States.
Then, with the opportunity to open an acting school and an annual salary of US$100,000, Dame Zhou decisively chose the latter.
Because of the world tour and special reports from China, the Guofeng Art Troupe has become very famous in China. Compared with unreliable dance schools, accepting this job is both dignified and stable. In addition, and more importantly, they also promised to help her get the green card. Not only that, after her cousin got the news and begged, she tried it out and got the approval.
The two of them came to the United States together and took care of each other, so there was no hesitation.
However, the world is like this, and we are always afraid of comparison.
After arriving in the United States, I discovered that Shirley, an acquaintance whom I thought was just a teacher here, who was far inferior to her at home, turned out to be like a boss lady. All because the other party fell in love with a man.
Simon Westeros.
It’s Simon Westeros!
There are really not many people who don't know this name in the current world. Even Zhou Damei, who has been in contact with the upper level of the pyramid, understands what this name means.
In short, comparing people to each other makes people angry.
Sunny living room.
Shirley would definitely not admit it, but in fact, her liking to get along with the two women was indeed caused by her deep sense of superiority.
At this moment, looking at the reactions of the two women after hearing her admit that her man was Simon Westeros, they were even more proud.
Being a lover also has different levels.
How many women would feel that the lover of Simon Westeros, the world's richest man, is not worthy of being on the stage
They are all full of envy.
With this thought in her mind, when the two women didn't speak for a while, Shirley simply turned over lazily, showing off the same beautifully maintained figure, and sighed softly: "Oh, you don't know, in Simon It’s not easy around here either, I was exhausted last night.”
Two women: “…”
Is this also showing off
Is there any humanity left
However, we do have to admit that for mature women like them, it is often the men who are tired and scattered. It is really rare for women to be like this.
Shirley said, seeing the waitress coming in with a bottle of red wine, she stood up slightly and said to the two women: "The red wine from Chateau Latour that I brought back from France last time. By the way, do you know Latour?"
The two women shook their heads.
Shirley said: "This is one of the top wineries in the world, and it also happens to be Simon's."
“…”
No matter how much they complained in their hearts, at this moment, the two cousins of Zhou Damei were inexplicably hoping to meet a certain important person.
Both of you are no worse than the woman with the oil bottle in front of you, right
When the waitress opened the red wine and poured it for the three of them, Irene imitated Shirley and took a sip. She felt that it seemed really good. However, she still couldn't hold it back and turned to a topic: "Sister Shirley, what did I do yesterday?" I saw in the newspaper, Mr. Westeros, he seems to be very close to Princess Diana?"
The gossip about Simon and Princess Diana is definitely the hottest gossip that has spread from Europe to North America and even the world in recent days.
Eileen's little thoughts are easy to understand.
Aren't you very proud
But, can you compare with Princess Diana
However, after Irene finished speaking, she was still a little worried. If this woman becomes angry out of humiliation, it will be a bit of a loss. With her status as almost the proprietress of the Chinese style art troupe, if... Thinking about it, Irene even began to regret it. After finally coming to the United States, and with such a good job, she didn't want to be kicked back.
Fortunately, Shirley didn't seem to mind. She smiled calmly and changed her name to something more intimate: "He is a very carefree guy. I can't control him. As long as he can come to me occasionally." Just sitting here is enough."
Seeing that Shirley was not angry, Aileen relaxed and did not dare to provoke anymore. She smiled and said, "Sister Shirley, you have such a good attitude. No wonder you are so beautiful now. I must learn more from you."
"Your cousin is not bad either. She is still so good at dancing. I can't do it now. My body is stiff and it's a little difficult to do a horse move."
Shirley said, remembering some scenes from last night, and her body couldn't help but feel a little warm. When I couldn't bear it anymore, I begged for mercy in various ways, but when I calmed down, I inevitably started to miss her again.
Eileen still subconsciously made up for the provocation just now, and said sweetly: "Actually, I'm about the same. I've been working hard to recover recently. If you want to be worthy of this job, sister Shirley, you don't have to work so hard. I really envy you."
No one likes to hear nice words.
Shirley, who was really upset because Irene deliberately mentioned something about someone and Princess Diana, was no longer angry. Looking at Irene's beautiful face and graceful figure, she even came up with a somewhat absurd idea.
If that man comes over again and someone can help him share the burden, it seems... not bad.
It was really hard for her to stand alone.
However, this thought only passed by for a moment. Even if it didn't stop the man from finding other women, she was still tired, and Shirley was not stupid enough to take the initiative to find a rival for herself.
So he changed the topic and continued with Versailles: "Speaking of which, Miu Miu has been making noises about traveling recently. Next week is Thanksgiving. I plan to take her to the beach in Florida and Disneyland over there. How about you two? Let’s go together, right?”
"Ah, this..." Eileen was obviously moved. She had been in the United States for more than two months and had not been out much. The furthest she had was walking around Manhattan. After looking at her cousin, who was the backbone, and seeing that Beauty Zhou had no objection, Aileen nodded: "Okay." After that, she added: "Will it be troublesome?"
"No," Shirley took a sip of red wine and said, "Simon has a private jet over there that I can use."
Erin was surprised again: "I haven't flown on a private jet yet."
Shirley smiled and looked at Dame Zhou: "Karen, are you going?"
Beauty Zhou's expression remained calm, but she was a little crazy inside.
However, facing Shirley's invitation, she hesitated a little, but she still nodded and agreed. Then he stared at Shirley and comforted himself quietly, that was Simon Westeros's private jet, not yours, so what's there to be proud of
