Chapter 832 The Wool Comes From the Sheep
Xiao Bing agreed to Caroline's request and let her go home first, waiting for him to attend the birthday party the day after tomorrow as her boyfriend.
In these two days, of course Xiao Bing had to prepare some gifts so as not to see his future father-in-law and mother-in-law empty-handed. Of course, this time Xiao Bing pretended to be Caroline's boyfriend.
Anyway, that's what Xiao Bing told Caroline. In fact, after Xiao Bing went back at night, he talked on the phone with Ye Zi for two hours, and with Liu Kexin for another two hours. By the time he went to bed, it was already late at night. The next day, Xiao Bing slept until noon before getting up. After going out for lunch, he went back to the room and started lying down. Then he spent another day in a muddle. Let alone going out to buy gifts during these two days, Xiao Bing even just went out to buy gifts. We didn't even leave the hotel, we ate in the hotel restaurant.
However, Xiao Bing's injury healed quickly. According to Xiao Bing's estimation, in two or three days, his right arm will be fine as long as he does not do strenuous exercise. In half a month, the entire right arm will be healed. Basically, as long as you don't fight with others, there won't be much of a problem.
But for the time being, I still have to wear a strap.
On the day of Caroline's birthday, Xiao Bing felt that it was almost time, so he dressed neatly and left the hotel.
After leaving the room, as soon as he arrived at the hotel lobby, he saw two people from the M country who greeted him respectfully. They raised a scroll in their hands and said respectfully to Xiao Bing: "Mr. Long, my master asked us to I specially brought this painting to you, and also told you that if you encounter any trouble in country M, you can go to Mr. Caron Gambino, saying that it was the Italian Mafia godfather Vongola who asked you to find it. "
"Oh." Xiao Bing took the scroll unceremoniously and asked, "Who is that Gambino?"
The two men said respectfully: "Mr. Gambino is a powerful figure in Country M, and is one of the mafia bosses in Country M."
"Oh, how does he compare with Mr. Vongola?"
The two men showed disdain on their faces, but they still replied respectfully: "The Mafia of Country M is just a branch of our Italian Mafia, and their seven bosses must obey the words of our Godfather Vongola. "
Xiao Bing put away the scroll and said to these two people: "You two, go back and say thank you to Mr. Vongola and me."
"Young Master Long is too polite." The two men left respectfully.
The reason why Xiao Bing didn't go out to buy gifts in the past two days was because Xiao Bing called Vongola and asked him for gifts in person. It's a joke, can the thing that the mafia godfather comes up with not be a good thing?
Originally, Xiao Bing had no intention of asking Vongola for anything, as if he was bullying someone. However, the reason why he pretended to be Caroline's boyfriend this time was because the trouble was caused by their mafia, even though it was said to be from country M. The Mafia caused trouble, but Xiao Bing still adhered to the principle that the wool comes from the sheep, so he went to pluck the hair from Vongola, the godfather of the Mafia.
At this moment, a grand birthday party was being held in the manor of the patriarch of the Ice family in New York, Cambour Ice.
There were many invited guests at this birthday party. At this time, several of them had arrived in twos and threes. Of course, the most important ones always arrived later, so the guests who arrived first were leaving the villa. The butler inside is waiting for you.
Kamble Yis was sitting in his daughter Caroline Yis's room and was persuading her earnestly, but Caroline was looking out the window and turned a deaf ear.
Kamble Yis sighed and said: "Daughter, do you think dad is the kind of person who would sell his daughter? It's because the family is indeed in big trouble now, and it may be able to survive for the time being, but we The biggest problem of the family is that the foundation is too shallow. If the foundation of several generations has passed, how can they be destroyed easily? But our Yisi family developed from your grandfather's generation and was given by me. It only took two generations to develop into a top-notch family in New York. They don’t have any connections in the government, and the senior government officials they can really contact are not high enough. They are similar to big gangs like the Big Circle Gang and the Mafia. They won’t even sell our accounts. If the Joey family continues to unite with the mafia to attack us, I’m afraid our family will collapse in a few months!”
Caroline frowned and said, "So you can only use me to solve the problem?"
Camboureys sighed: "Cohen Gambino is the second boss of the Gambino family of the Italian Mafia, and the cousin of Caron Gambino, the boss of the Gambino family. The mafia in the entire M country It can be said that he is a powerful man with one hand covering the sky. If we can form a family with Cohen Gambino, it is really possible for our Ice family to reach a higher level in my hands."
"And the most important thing is that Cohen Gambino's son is not an incompetent person, let alone a playboy. He is now serving in the military of country M and is already a second-level warrant officer. He has just been a second-level warrant officer. At the age of more than ten years, in more than ten years, there is even hope to reach the level of major or even lieutenant colonel, and at the age of fifty, there is even hope to reach the edge of brigadier general."
Caroline said disdainfully: "Is a brigadier general considered a general? Then wait until he becomes a major general before proposing marriage."
"How is this possible?" Cambour. Iss frowned and said, "Caroline, you are deliberately making things difficult. How many generals are there in the entire M country? No matter how good he is, he can't really be promoted to a general. He will be fifty years old. Even if his family gives him full support and he is good enough himself, if he wants to become a major general, he will have to be forty years old, right? He is just in his twenties now, you ask him to still... Have to wait so many years?”
Caroline snorted: "Then I don't care, I won't marry him anyway."
Kamble Is smiled bitterly and said: "It doesn't matter even if you don't marry him, but you always have to try to get along. If it doesn't work, wait for a while and then break up. How about it? , this is the final bottom line.”
Seeing her father trying so hard to persuade her, Caroline felt soft and sighed: "Dad, it's not that I don't agree, it's because I already have a boyfriend!"
"What!!!" Kamble Is was stunned at first, then angry, and then thought that it was his daughter who was trying to prevaricate him, so he refused to believe it at all and said in a cold tone, "Then Call your boyfriend over and let me see if any of the Gambino descendants are outstanding!"
"You will see." Caroline said with a happy smile, "He will come tonight."
Kamble Is knew there was no need to continue chatting, so he stood up and sighed: "Caroline, my dear daughter, there is no need for you to use words to prevaricate me, even if you just make it up now. Such a reason will be revealed soon. You said he would come tonight, but by tonight, all the secrets will be revealed. What's the use of making up these excuses?"
Kamble Iss said sincerely: "A father will not harm you, but the family is encountering difficulties now. As the daughter of the Iss family, you really have to stand up and help. Your father's ability Limited, even though it looks very glamorous, in fact, things like foundation cannot be created out of thin air. I will not force you to marry him, but I hope you can give it a try, even if it is to be him first for the time being. My girlfriend, try to see if you can like him. Think about it carefully."
Kamble Yis walked to the door, opened the door and walked out, his steps heavy.
After her father's footsteps disappeared, Caroline looked at the door, sighed, and said to herself: "Father, why don't I want to help you, but anything else will do, but this is the only major life-long matter for me. I won’t compromise, so I can only feel sorry for you and this family. However, I think I have met a boyfriend who can really help me. Maybe if he comes over tonight, he will be a member of our Yisi family. What a chance, you don’t know how powerful he is.”
At this time, more than twenty people had come to the manor, all of them celebrities from New York. The birthday party was held in the courtyard of the manor. A red carpet was laid on the lawn, and there were also many white tables and chairs placed on the table. There are all kinds of western food and fine wines.
Countless maids with good figures were bringing the same delicacies and filling the glasses with wine.
Small groups of people were talking on the lawn, and a few people were still whispering about the possible alliance between the Yis family and the Mafia. Everyone who came here this time was actually most interested in this matter. The family is already considered a first-class family, but the only thing lacking is the foundation. Everyone is well aware of the troubles that the Yis family has encountered in recent times. If the mafia supports the Yis family, then I am afraid that no force will dare to do so. Just deal with the Yis family casually.
By then, the Yis family will inevitably grow into a behemoth. Everyone heard that the big shot of the mafia will bring his son here today, so they are all very concerned about it. The level of attention has already exceeded the birthday party. In itself, this is also the case. Even if Caroline is the only daughter of the Yis family, the birthday of a future successor of the Yis family does not mean much to them.
There were a few big shots with enough power present who originally did not plan to come. Because of the troubles the Yis family has encountered in recent months, many people saw that something was seriously wrong with the Yis family, so some people naturally They didn’t want to be associated with the Yis family, but after hearing that the mafia big shots were coming and might marry into the Yis family, everyone couldn’t sit still and thought in their hearts, no matter whether the matter was true or false. Yes, until the truth is known, the Yis family cannot be offended!
Campbell Yis finally walked out of the villa and laughed loudly: "George, Wall, Humphrey...it's my Caroline's birthday. I bother you to come in person, and you also brought so many generous gifts." The gift, the butler just showed it to me, it is so valuable, I really want to thank you all."
"You're welcome." A fat man with a pipe in his mouth picked up the pipe and laughed loudly, "I'm going to say happy birthday to Caroline in person later!"
More than 20 people went over to greet Campbell-Isse one after another, and finally someone asked: "Mr. Campbell, I heard that someone from the Mafia will come over today?"
Campbell Yis sneered in his heart, someone finally couldn't help but ask.
