Chapter 2203: After Being Drunk, You Know How Strong the Wine Is; After Being in Love, You Know How Deep the Feelings Are (Part 2)

"Swoosh," Anne whistled, quickly picking up a few bags from the pile beside the car, "this, this, and this,"

"Okay," she carried seven or eight shopping bags, "The rest are yours,"

Ma Ling breathed a sigh of relief, finally she could be at peace.

"Mom, I'll take you back to your room,"

"No, you go do your thing, I'll sit for a while," Heidi pounded her legs.

Today, she was walking too fast on the street.

"Grandma, let me pound your legs for you," Vincent immediately came over and pounded Heidi's legs a few times in a serious manner.

This son! Ma Ling kissed him on the head, "Baby, Mom loves you, stay with grandma,"

She is really busy now.

Especially with the preparations for the St. Denis Film Festival, it's not good to just ignore work all day long.

But she had just read a few emails when Annie rushed into the study room like a gust of wind, wearing a new suit and gesturing at one of them, "Does it look good? Which one looks better?"

She looked up and said hurriedly, "They all look good," and then lowered her head again, "Annie, didn't I tell you that I have work to deal with now?"

Annie, who was originally in high spirits, hung the suit in her hand on the back of the chair, sat opposite Ma Ling, and looked straight at her.

Ma Ling frowned and thought for a while, and when he finished dealing with one email and read the next one, he glanced at Annie, "What's wrong?"

"Ma Ling, are you satisfied with the current situation?"

"Satisfied, you and your parents are here, it's rare for me to be lively," Ma Ling said without thinking.

"I'm not talking about this state, I'm talking about this state between you and Feng,"

Ma Ling didn't speak, and Annie could clearly hear the sound of her typing on the keyboard.

After a while, it became quiet.

Ma Ling pushed the keyboard aside, lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head again, his eyes were clear and a little unhappy, "What do you think?"

"I think, apart from other things in life, he can't appear in public with you, and he can't even pick up your parents when they come,"

"At work, I think there should be no employees under him who work harder than you,"

"Annie, can you guarantee that after you get married, every time your parents come to see you, my future brother-in-law can go to the airport with you to pick them up?" Ma Ling asked, "Abandon everything in your hands and go to the airport to pick them up?"

"You are misinterpreting, you know, I don't mean that," Annie shouted.

To be honest, she can't guarantee that she can go to the airport to pick them up every time in the future.

"As for work, I do work hard, but I can absolutely guarantee that I am definitely not the hardest-working employee under him,"

"You will know this if you stay in the park for two days,"

"Or it can be said that the hardest-working person in the company is not others, but first of all himself,"

"That should be, it's his own company," Annie muttered.

"Wrong, we also have options," Ma Ling said.

"Or, after you graduate from Harvard, how long do you think it will take you to get to where I am now?"

This, Anne couldn't say.

Objectively speaking, she felt that it might take 10 years, or even her entire career, to reach the level of her sister.

She will be invited back to Georgetown University to give a speech to graduates in a few years.

"So, are you satisfied?" she asked.

"Yes, I am very satisfied now, whether in life, work, or emotionally, materially, I am very satisfied," Ma Ling said directly.

"At least, more satisfied than the hostesses of those mansions in Palm Beach," she added.

"I know it may be difficult for you to understand, but I do feel satisfied and happy now,"

"Is it because of his money and the success he can make in your career?" Anne asked.

"I don't deny that there are indeed reasons for this. Vincent and I mainly rely on his money to maintain our current lives."

"Although I earn a lot myself, I know very well that if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been in my current position so quickly."

"Even if I were in my current position, the price I paid would definitely be unimaginable to me."

The problems that girls, especially beautiful girls, encounter in the workplace are the same in any corner of the world.

"But you know, when we first met," Ma Ling's voice lowered, obviously remembering the situation at that time, "that is, when I fell in love with him, he was not as successful as he is now, or at least I didn't know that he was already very successful at that time,"

At that time, Feng Yiping was just a popular young scholar in the United States.

"You also know that after accidentally having Vincent, I didn't think about taking advantage of this to do anything with him,"

Annie had to admit this.

That was Ma Ling, even in the face of the furious John, she gritted her teeth and didn't reveal a word.

After giving birth to Vincent, she never thought about contacting him. She really wanted to raise Vincent by herself.

Not only did she think so, she also did so, and she was so stubborn that she refused to accept her own help.

In fact, after so many years of being sisters, she knew very well whether her elder sister was materialistic.

The reason why she asked this question knowingly was very complicated.

"Yes, you know, and my parents know, that he has other women and other children, and that in some aspects, he cannot meet the requirements of a wife and children for a husband and father in a normal family,"

"But think about it, how many of those mansions in Palm Beach can do this?"

Annie was speechless.

"Although this does not mean that I will have this attitude in the future, and I dare not guarantee that I will be satisfied with the current situation in the future, but now, yes, I am very satisfied,"

"I am satisfied in all aspects,"

"Not only am I very satisfied, I also hope to do my best to share his burden,"

"Although this may not be the happy life in your mind, for me, this is,"

"I don't ask you to understand, whether you understand or not, I don't really care, because this is my life, the key is how I look at it, isn't it?"

"I originally wanted to care about you, but in the end, I heard you show off your love again," Anne stood up, "I'm not happy, I'm leaving,"

"I want to go out alone,"

Alone?

Ma Ling quickly came out of her previous mood, "Where are you going?"

"I don't know," Annie said, "That's my business, that's my freedom, isn't it?"

…………

At Fisherman's Wharf, Rongrong looked at Amanda with some pity.

It seems that there is no perfect life.

When I was a child, I naturally couldn't have such good conditions as Amanda, but I had many friends, and every time I went out, there were a lot of them.

Amanda, on the other hand, now only has a little brother who often comes to visit.

It's not that she is insensitive, but if Amanda said such words to Huang Qinping, who was already suspicious or had already determined what was going on, she would probably have the same view as Rongrong, thinking that the little brother named Vincent was just Amanda's best friend.

How could she have thought that her sister would actually have contact with the mother of Feng Yiping's other child?

The argument between her and her sister has not ended yet.

"Who said that the core of love is the same?" Huang Jingping said.

"In primitive society, love was based on reproduction, so love at that time was about you giving birth to me; in the medieval love framework, it was about knights saving beauties, so I died for you; in feudal society, the love model was about talented men being passionate and beauties being short-lived, so we died together,"

"In modern times, the label of love is, as long as I love you - no matter if you have no partner or you are married,"

Huang Qinping was speechless.

These few sentences are indeed the core of love in different eras, and they are indeed different.

But Huang Jingping hadn't finished, "And I believe that there are many people who think like me that loving someone means making him happy,"

"The reason why we haven't married yet is that I have told my family long ago. It's not because of him, but because of me. I don't want to marry her,"

"So, from this perspective, what you said is true. Yes, he does have other women in his heart. I knew this very well when I liked him,"

"I am very happy now, and I hope he can be happy too. I hope the girl he likes is also happy,"

"Don't say it, I know, you want to say that I am stupid, right? There are some things that you won't understand now. Only after experiencing them will you understand,"

"You don't have to worry about me, because only the feet know whether the shoes are suitable,"

Huang Qinping was a little speechless. She felt that she would never think so anyway.

"So, you fell in love with him at first sight?"

"Haha," Huang Jingping laughed, "You will understand in the future that a heartbeat is only like a meteor in the sky, only a moment of surprise, the daily necessities, sometimes even just a cup of hot water, can move you the most,"

"He moved me step by step,"

"It's not what you understand, it should be said that I was attracted to him little by little,"

"Such liking and love are more fundamental and last longer,"

"You also need to understand that in fact, it's not that he can't leave me, but I can't leave him," Huang Jingping said.

"Do you know why I didn't give up the arranged job in 1998 and went to the city to join him? Because I knew that if I didn't do that, according to his arrangement, we would only drift apart in the future..."

"Hi Annie," Huang Qinping answered the phone at this time, "Yes, I'm still in San Francisco,"

"Drink?" She glanced at her sister, "Okay,"

She didn't want to listen to her sister talk about her love history.

Annie? Huang Jingping calmed down at once, and they were going to get together again so soon?

"Who is it?"

"A friend I met yesterday," Huang Qinping said, "Don't worry, she's a woman,"

Then I felt that my supplement was not only superfluous, but also made people more worried.

"She's in a bad mood now and wants to drink with me,"

"Drinking? Then we can only go to Mantingfang,"

In fact, it's best to go to my house.

But, I really can't let that Annie go home.

…………

In Napa Valley, Feng Yiping and his friends have already started drinking.

This season is not suitable for sightseeing, so their purpose this time is very obvious, that is, drinking.

So, they didn't intend to explore the hidden places, and went directly to the famous wineries in the valley to taste the most acclaimed wines.

The first one is Mondavi Winery, which many people in the United States know.

The founder of the winery is Mondavi, who is known as the father of American wine.

There, they drank Cabernet Sauvignon wine praised by many professionals, and whether it is the grape picking or the subsequent brewing, it is a pure handmade collection of wine.

The second is the oldest winery in Napa Valley and even in California, the Beringer Winery founded by the German winemakers Beringer brothers in 1876.

By now, they are already a little tipsy and are ready to find a winery to solve lunch. This has also been arranged in advance. It is a winery that has not been fully completed at this time, Castello\di\Amorosa.

This is actually a castle, a 13th-century Tuscan castle that has been copied with great effort.

Not only are there defensive walls, drawbridges and moats, but also dungeons and torture chambers, secret passages, courtyards, loggias, churches, livestock sheds..., everything is available.

So this is also the best winery tourist attraction in the United States.

"Haha, dizzy," Wang Changning, who drank a lot, laughed.

Getting drunk is never a good experience, but it depends on who you are with.

When the three of them are together, getting drunk is a kind of enjoyment.

"Yes, this wine doesn't seem to have a high alcohol content, and we didn't drink much, but we were all a little drunk," Xiao Zhijie said, "and we accidentally booked the whole place,"

Yes, this winery, which has not yet been officially completed, will host the three of them today.

"How are you two, today's schedule, oh, bad," Feng Yiping suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?"

"We have to eat faster,"

"Why? It's not the actress you called from Hollywood, is it?" Xiao Zhijie said.

"Sister Jingping and sister Ma Ling are coming to Napa Valley together,"

Feng Yiping is not dizzy now, he has a headache.
