Chapter 309: Gift

"For more than a year, you have never sent a letter to New York. I know you went to Japan, but at least you sent a letter to say you are safe." Lisa Bai Yin blamed.

"This old-fashioned hat on your head is too New York-style. You should take it off and replace it with a Paris-style hat that suits you." Liang Yao opened the exquisite hat box in his hand.

I saw a very delicate hat carefully wrapped in layers of tulle.

Elizabeth Yin couldn't help but exclaimed; "Oh, my God, where did you buy it? I have only seen this latest Paris-style hat in fashion magazines, and I have never seen anyone in New York." Have a hat like this.”

Yin Lisabai couldn't help but reached out and touched this cute hat.

It's a hat made of gray-blue taffeta, with carefully selected Indian peacock neck feathers around the brim. Yin Lisabai couldn't put it down for this hat.

"Friendship is priceless." Liang Yao said with a smile, "This hat has the same color as your eyes. I think it will suit you very well. I will help you put it on."

With that said, Liang Yao took off the hat on Yin Lisabai's head and put the cute hat in the box on Yin Lisabai's head.

Yin Lisabai stood there, motionless, waiting for Liang Yao to help her put on her hat. She whispered in her mouth: "Friendship, is there only friendship between us?"

After Liang Yao gently tied the hat, Yin Lisabai quickly ran to the boudoir, stood in front of the mirror and admired it, happily making faces at herself in the mirror.

Not long after, Lisa Bai Yin took out a suit from the room: "I sewed this suit for you. I hope your figure has not been out of shape over the past year and you can still wear it."

Liang Yao nodded, accepted Yin Lisabai's gift, went to Kony's room, took off his somewhat dirty colonel uniform, and put on the clothes that Yin Lisabai had sewn for him.

"Reincarnation Paradise"

The clothes fit him very well, and it seems that he has done a good job managing his figure over the past year.

Sophia made a dessert for Liang Yao to entertain Liang Yao. After making the dessert, Sophia looked at the time on the pendulum clock, hurriedly ate a few pieces of fried bread mixed with sucrose, and asked Kony and Lisa White to entertain her. As for Liang Yao, she was going to take care of the hotel business.

Although Vanderbilt is not short of money, he is not very concerned about his family. He is always thinking about how to make more money in his hands. He rarely sends money home and rarely cares about the growth of his children. .

This was true when he was running the shipping business, and it was still the case after he switched to running a railway company.

A series of expenses such as food, clothing and education for the Vanderbilt children were basically paid for by Sophia's income from running the hotel.

Fortunately, the land of dykes and tulips gave Vanderbilt another legacy: independent Dutch women. There were no major problems in his family, and his children all received a normal education.

At this time, and even earlier, Dutch women were models of Western feminism. Because Dutch law gave Dutch women full autonomy: Dutch women could do business in their own names instead of their husbands’ names, so Dutch women’s sense of autonomy was greater than Women in other countries at the same time were stronger.

Even after immigrating to New York, this tradition was brought to New York by Dutch women. There are many confident Dutch women like Sophia who do business and support their families.

Strong and confident Dutch women are everywhere in New York.

After finishing the dessert, Liang Yao drank several cups of tea to relieve his tiredness.

He had lived at the Vanderbilt's house for a while before, and was already accustomed to the sweet and sweet food at the Vanderbilt's house. Sweet is sweet, but sweet food does make you full.

It was afternoon after drinking tea. Vanderbilt's two grandsons were playing in the garden. The four-year-old grandson Kisa saw his older brother Kony playing on the swing and wanted to play himself, but his swing was too high. Sa couldn't climb up, so he ran to Liang Yao and begged Liang Yao in a sweet voice: "Uncle, I want to swing on the swing, can you carry me up?"

Liang Yao smiled and picked up Kisa and put him on the swing. Seeing that Kisa's feet couldn't reach the ground, he helped him push the swing.

"Higher, uncle, higher!" Kisa clapped her little hands excitedly and giggled.

"Okay, sit tight."

Liang Yao increased his efforts and played with the innocent children. He felt a sense of relaxation that he had not seen for a long time.

"Lisa Bai Yin, you will be 20 years old next year. You will be an old girl. When I was your age, little Kony was already three years old. Now, you are older than New York. Isn't there anyone you like?"

Yin Lisabai's sister-in-law Maria looked at Liang Yaoming who was playing with Kisa and said knowingly.

"Or is it me, the person you like is right in front of you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Sister-in-law, why are you like my father, always like to bring the topic to this aspect." Yin Lisabai turned her head away and tried to change the topic.

"The daughters of the Vanderbilt family can often only marry money instead of love, but now you have the opportunity to marry both money and love. What an enviable thing it is. If you are embarrassed to speak, you can ask your father," Maria encouraged Yin Lisabai.

The so-called New York aristocrats, whether they are old aristocrats or new aristocrats, in order to maximize the interests of the family and achieve strong alliances, they basically use marriage to determine the marriage of their children.

Maria, whose father was Vanderbilt's business partner, was no exception.

"But my father doesn't want me to leave New York." Lisa Yin looked into the distance with her gray-blue eyes.

"Maybe father is not such a conservative person." Maria said, "How can we know if we don't ask for a try?"

"Sister-in-law, I know father better than you. Rather than recruiting a son-in-law, father is recruiting a free and capable helper. Do you think Clark and Cross are like sons-in-law or servants of the Vanderbilt family?" Yin Lisabeth asked back.

This is the problem Yin Lisabeth is most worried about. Based on her understanding of Liang Yao, Liang Yao is definitely not a helper for Vanderbilt like Clark and Cross.

What's more, Liang Yao is now a brigadier general in the army, a veritable brigadier general in the army.

Thinking of this, Yin Lisabeth became more and more upset.

In the evening, Vanderbilt came back with his eldest son William, and Vanderbilt and his son came back with Vandazer.

William now helps Vanderbilt manage the railway company's business and has become Vanderbilt's right-hand man, while Vandazer is busy with the decoration of the New York Commercial Building.

Whether Vanderbilt can make further progress in the retail industry depends on whether he and Liang Yao can succeed in the commercial building project this time. He has bet all his worth on the commercial building in New York.

"Look who is here, our American Army Brigadier General."

After seeing Liang Yao, Vanderbilt couldn't help but pat Liang Yao on the shoulder and joked.

"My Navy Commodore was just a nickname, but your Army Commodore is a real Commodore. They say that young people are formidable, but you are really scary."
