Lena looked like she was going to fight on the battlefield.
Lena didn't ask Marilyn to drive directly to Robert's house, but drive to the highway entrance of Meadow City and waited there. About half an hour later, a Mercedes- Benz car with an Acocester license plate drove off the highway. The driver then handed two bottles of wine to Lena.
" Mom, I' ve bought wine. Why did you ask someone to send wine from Acocester?" " You know what?" Lena rolled her eyes at Marilyn. She said, " The wine you bought is too cheap. I bought these two bottles at an auction before. One bottle cost me more than20 thousand dollars. Now, you can't get one from the market even though you want to. We have to show our power so that we can negotiate with Robert later." " Negotiate?" Marilyn looked confused." What do you want to negotiate?" Lena didn't mean to explain. She hurriedly waved her hand and said, " All right, let's go first!" Marilyn followed the navigation and drove to Robert's old house with her parents.
The neighborhood was built when Robert was still a primary school student. It had been more than ten years now. Back then, the house cost Zachary 16,000 dollars. The environment of the old neighborhood was naturally ordinary. There was a huge square between several buildings, which was the layout that no longer existed in the new neighborhoods.
The vehicles could be parked there randomly.
Lena sat in the car and frowned. " Where are we? What did Robert and his family mean? If they don't want to entertain us, just say it. How can they ask us to come to such a shabby place?" Spence r looked around with great interest and nodded from time to time, "I think it's okay. Look at the buildings here. Before we moved to our current house, we also lived in this kind of neighborhood. It's rare to see a neighborhood of this old style now." Lena said with disgust, " Don't mention that kind of neighborhood to me anymore. Is it a place where people could live?" Marilyn knew well that her mother was snobbish, so she said nothing and parked the. car downstairs after seeing the building number clearly.
Robert's old house was Room Twenty- one in Unit Two.
Marilyn took her parents to the corridor.
Although the neighborhood was old, the corridors were clean and tidy.
Marilyn walked to the door and knocked on it.
Soon, Robert opened the door.
As soon as the door was opened, Marilyn smelled the delicious flavor of the dishes.
" Good to see you, Mr. and Mrs. Quesnell. Come in," Robert said.
Spencer nodded.
Lena didn't look at Robert. She knew well that her opponents today were Robert's parents, and she was sure that they were definitely the kind that was hard to get on with.
" Please come in." Mavis, who was preparing the meals, also came out of the kitchen in an apron and greeted Spencer and Lena.
There were three sofas, a table, and an old TV cabinet in the living room. They had no special reception room.
Zachary took three coffee cups and made coffee for them.
Lena smiled, " Excuse me. Where can I put these two bottles of wine?" Lena deliberately exposed the bottle and continued, " Spencer asked one of his friends to get these two bottles of wine. It seems thata bottle is worth more than 20 thousand dollars, and it's hard to get one from the market now." " Thank you very much." Zachary happily took the wine and asked Spencer and Lena to sit down.
Marilyn looked at the house curiously.
" What is that?" Marilyn saw an album. The cover of the album was a photo of a childish boy, seven or eight years old, with various exaggerated poses, which was very funny.
Robert blushed and rushed over. He wanted to put away the album.
" What are you doing? I want to have a look." Marilyn took it from Robert's hand and looked at it with great interest.
Robert's face turned red. He had always felt ashamed of his childhood photos, and fortunately, they were usually placed at home. But it seemed that he would have himself embarrassed today!
