When the handsome guy Lan San helped little Lolita deliver gifts back to Plum Village, Le's father Zhou Qiufeng did not tell him about the news that his natal brother was getting married, nor did he mention it to Little Cotton Jacket during the phone call.
Therefore, Little Le Xiao’s classmate did not know that Grandma Zhou’s family was holding a wedding event on New Year’s Day. She, her beautiful brother, and Sister Fu took a direct flight to Country F.
The time difference between country F and China is also 7 hours in winter. The plane of the three brothers and sisters took off in the morning of China, and it was still noon on the 3rd when they arrived at the capital of country F.
After entering the country, the three Chao brothers and sisters took a bus from the airport to the city and checked into the Clion Hotel where the World Ladies Ball was held not long ago.
The brother and sister from the East checked in, and the waiter notified the Howard family as scheduled. Winston was so happy when he received the call from the hotel that he immediately sent his youngest son Alex to the hotel to pick up the young doctor and her brother and sister.<
/p>
Half an hour later, Alex took the family bodyguards to the hotel to pick up the three Chao brothers and sisters to the Howard family's private residence.
The Howard family came to invite them sincerely. Le Xiaoxiao didn't show any pretense. He went to Howard's house with his brother and sister. The hotel room was not checked out. After attending the banquet, they planned to spend a day or two in the capital of country F.
The Howard family sent two classic Bugattis to the hotel to pick them up. They were both two-seater. Alex and the doctor rode in one, and the beautiful boy and Chao Er rode in one.
It takes about fifteen minutes by car to reach the Howard family's private castle.
The Howard family has a private castle in the capital of country F, and a large manor outside the city. The family will hold a birthday party for the little princess Laura at the private castle. Winston and his family members will also spend New Year's Day in the castle.<
/p>
In order to celebrate the recovery of the little princess Laura, the Howard family attached great importance to the birthday party and decorated the castle. Every place where flowers could be placed was filled with precious flowers and plants.
The Howard family's castle is very old, somewhat similar to a monastery. It is made up of several buildings, with a huge courtyard in the middle, and one building facing the river.
Its location is not far from the Iron Tower in the capital of country F. The iron tower can be seen from the upper floors of every building.
Bugatti passed through the arched door of a building, entered the inner courtyard garden, and then stopped in front of the most exquisite white marble building along the road.
A large group of people stood in front of the marble palace-style building. The men were all wearing tuxedos, bow ties, and bowler hats, and the women were all wearing formal dresses, fur shawls, and feathered hats.

The head of the Howard family, Winston's eldest brother Valls, and the quasi-heir of the Howard family, Valls' eldest son Julian, were standing in the middle of the front row holding their little baby Laura. They stood on either side.
With Winston, Frank and other important personnel.
The Howard family's bodyguards and domestic servants lined up in two long lines, waiting like guards to welcome the distinguished guests.
Bugatti stopped in front of two rows of people, and the bodyguards stepped forward to help open the door. When they saw Master Alex inviting out the doctor and her brothers and sisters, the bodyguards and domestic servants bent down and moved in unison.
Alex led the three distinguished guests through two groups of guard-like personnel and walked towards the family members who were waiting for the guests.
The beautiful boy and Miss Chao Er wore modern clothes and a rabbit fur cloak with a fur collar. Mr. Le Xiao wore a narrow-sleeved Hanfu and a white fox fur cloak. His hair was combed into a bun with only a single hairpin.
Plum blossom hairpin with hanging beads.
The three brother and sister's cloaks are all in bright red satin, each embroidered with different patterns.
The members of the Howard family looked at the doctor and her brothers and sisters approaching with bright eyes. The cloaks of the doctor and her family were very beautiful!
The doctor lady has the cutest hairstyle!
Everyone watched the three brothers and sisters approaching with smiles.
Before anyone arrived, little Laura let go of her grandfather and great-grandfather's hands, lifted up her skirt and ran towards the doctor.
Little Laura wore a blue winter princess dress, a white cloak, and a gold collar button studded with diamonds and rubies. Her hair had also grown out, about two and a half inches long, and was golden.
Hair is naturally curly.
The little girl with natural curly blond hair is as cute as an elf.
Little Laura ran forward a few meters, bowed to the three guests, then happily rushed forward and hugged the doctor's legs, chirping like a little sparrow: "Ms. doctor, you are finally here.
Laura is so happy. Laura dreamed about the doctor yesterday..."
The men, women, and children of the Howard family were a little dumbfounded.
The beautiful young girl Chao Er looked at the little foreign girls who also embraced other people's thighs, and her eyes widened with laughter.
Being hugged by the thigh, Leyun bent down and picked up the little girl and lifted her up high. The little girl was not afraid at all, she giggled happily and opened her arms like flying.
Howard's little baby was clingy, so Le Yun held her up and walked, walking in front of Howard and others before putting the little girl down.
When his little baby ran over, Alex was afraid that the doctor lady wouldn't like his baby's instability, so he felt relieved when he saw the doctor girl smiling and holding up the baby to play with. When the doctor lady put the baby down, he quickly held the baby's hand.
Without Alex's introduction, Vals himself took a step forward and bowed down like a gentleman: "Beautiful and lovely doctor lady, Miss Chao, Mr. Chao, the Howard family welcomes you, I am Vals.
William Howard, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to our distinguished ladies and gentlemen!"
"Hello, Mr. Howard, nice to meet you." In line with the principle of ladies first, Le Yun stretched out her hand.
Vals took the doctor's hand, bent down, and kissed the back of the hand.
He kissed the back of the doctor's hand, said hello to the doctor's sister, then said hello to the young gentleman, said hello to each other, and then introduced several key members of his family to the guests.
Julian and the main members of the family stepped forward and shook hands with the doctor and her sisters and brothers one by one.
After a brief meeting, Valls personally stood beside the doctor, and accompanied the three guests through the arched door with family members, entered a hall with several fireplaces, and sat down at a long table to talk.
The bodyguards and domestic servants of the Howard family dispersed after the distinguished guests were invited to the living room, each performing their duties.
The guest-of-honor meeting lasted twenty minutes. Alex and his wife took their children, together with an elder brother, and his sister-in-law and several young bodyguards picked up the guest's luggage and sent the doctor and her brother to the guest room to settle in.
The guest room is on the third floor of a building facing the river. You can see the river from the window of the room, and you can see the Iron Tower from the viewing attic facing the courtyard.
The three brothers and sisters of the Chao family put their luggage in the guest room, tidied up their appearance, and then went downstairs with their master who was waiting in the attic with a view, and went to the living room of the building where the master lived to have afternoon tea.
This time, when they met Vals, Winston and other personnel again, the three siblings also handed over their birthday gifts to Laura first.
The young and old of the Howard family were very happy and helped the little baby open the gifts together. The beautiful boy and Miss Chao Er gave the birthday boy a red panda doll, and Mr. Le gave a gold-encrusted coral hairpin.
The coral hairpin is inlaid with sapphires, with lavender flowers on the tip and a string of white pearls hanging down.
The hairpin is antique and combines the three colors of the French flag.
When little Laura saw that the gift given by the doctor was similar to the jewelry she wore on her head, little Laura jumped up with joy, ran to the doctor and gave her a series of kisses.
The gemstone hairpin was exquisitely made, and the ladies of the Howard family took turns admiring the little baby's gift and marveled at it.
Little Laura looked at the gift, put the hairpin away, and hugged the little panda.
I looked at the gifts and had afternoon tea.
After taking a break for afternoon tea, Winston and Vals accompanied the guests to visit the castle. In addition to the bedrooms of the owners and current residents, other places opened their doors to guests, including some collection rooms and rooms that were originally only allowed to the Howard family.
Cellar.
It was already evening after visiting the castle.
In the evening, the Howard family held a dinner to entertain three distinguished guests. All members of the family were present and gathered together, which was very lively.
The guests of honor enjoyed the dinner.
The three Chao brothers and sisters also lived very comfortably in the castle, and had another sumptuous breakfast the next morning.
After breakfast, the younger generation of the Howard family entertained the beautiful boy, Miss Chao Er, Vals and Winston, Frank and others had a short meeting with the doctor.
The main purpose of Vals is to order vaccines from the doctor on behalf of the family. Last time, Frank and Winston ordered five vaccines, two of which were purchased privately by the two of them, and three were purchased by the family.
Three vaccines are too few for the Howard family. They hope to store more, not just a hundred, but twenty or thirty.
In addition to vaccines, I also hope to order some health medicines that can strengthen the body and special medicines that treat common diseases.
Valls is the heir to the Howard family. He represents the entire family and is more effective and authoritative than Frank and Winston's personal dealings with the doctor.
Of course, they also know that it is impossible for the doctor to sell the inventory in her hand. They just want to get priority. If the doctor makes vaccines or various special medicines one day, they can give priority to selling them to the Howard family.
The Howard family was sincere in discussing business, and Le Xiao's classmates were easy to talk to. They gave three vaccines to the Howard family for collection, and promised to reserve a priority slot for them when vaccines are sold.
The two parties communicated happily. Winston, Valls and others talked about another matter. In a few days, there will be an informal auction in New York, Country M. The Howard family received an invitation letter that was equivalent to an entry license. They wanted to invite
Let’s go with the doctor.
A certain auction is a private auction, run by the Rothschild family with the deepest and most mysterious heritage in M country. Normally it is only held once every year in January of the new year. Insiders are used to calling it the Rothschild New Year's Auction.
.
The items auctioned at Luo's New Year's Auction are rich in content, which is no less than the world-renowned Sotheby's auction, and can even be said to be more luxurious.
The owners who can send things to Roche Auction are all super rich and top families from all over the world, and those who are qualified to receive invitations are all giants in a certain industry.
The Russell family, Howard family, Edward family, Aligne family and other European families are all regular visitors to Roche's New Year's auctions. Roberto, Alessandro, and Liszt are also insiders of Roche's auctions.
Classmate Le Xiao planned to attend little Laura's birthday party, play with her handsome brother and Sister Fu for a few days, and then go to Cambridge University to read for a few days.
She was originally not interested in the auction. She heard that it was a private auction that was not open to the public. She also heard that no Chinese had ever been to an auction before, so she decided to accept the invitation to see the magic of Luo's auction.
Vals and Winston had a pleasant meeting with the doctor. Outside, personal friends of Winston or Howard family members arrived one after another. Alex and his brothers warmly received the visitors.
p>
Guests came one after another, and after more than a dozen groups, Alessandro arrived with his son Amedeo, and Roberto arrived with his godson Milo and adopted son Oscar.
Alex hurriedly sent the Ferraris, Roberto, Milo, and Oscar to meet the family patriarch and the doctor.
When Milo saw the child, he happily rubbed her head. Forget about Oscar, he was studying in country M and hadn't seen the little sweetheart for a long time.
Amedeo heard that his little sweetheart went to Cambridge a few days ago, but he didn't see her, and he felt sad. If he saw someone now, there would be no reason not to rush over.
When the three brothers saw the little sweetheart, they occupied her, sat with her, diligently helped her get fruits, poured tea, and took care of her in every possible way.
Alessandro, Roberto exchanged pleasantries with Vals and Winston, and also extended an invitation to the doctor, asking her to go to Roche New Year's Auction with them.
"Oh, old friends, you are late, the doctor has accepted our invitation." Vals laughed. They were smart and mentioned it early. If Roberto and the others were to invite the doctor to the auction before them,
What else is going on with the Howard family?
When Roberto and Alessandro saw the doctor, they also guessed that the Howard family would not let go of the opportunity, so they were not surprised. No matter whose invitation the doctor accepted, as long as she could go with them, it would be fine.
A group of people chatted happily for a while, and Mr. Smith from country M also arrived. After that, members of the Aligne family also arrived.
About an hour later, representatives of little Laura's maternal grandfather's family, the Edward family, and representatives of the Russell family also arrived at the castle. Valls, Winston and others had to go to receive the guests first.
p>
After that, important members of the Howard family were busy receiving visitors and no longer had time to talk to the doctor and old friends.
At noon, the Howard family held a luncheon for personal friends to gather together.
After dinner, there was free time. The Howard family members went to prepare for the evening party and let friends get to know each other.
The Howard family members have good personal friends with wealthy families from all walks of life. Some people have seen the Oriental girl at Alessandro's birthday party and the Cleon Ladies' Ball. When they saw her again, they all came up to greet her.<
/p>
Aiwujiwu, the brothers and sisters of oriental girls are naturally very popular.
As a result, the three brothers and sisters were "dragged" and couldn't run away even if they wanted to.
It wasn't until almost dusk that everyone let the three oriental girls, brother and sister, go dress up.
The birthday party for the little princess of the Howard family was held in a building with only an independent music hall. The hall was very wide. It used to be a place for watching plays and drama performances, and could accommodate nearly a thousand people.
The ball hall was decorated and there were blooming flowers everywhere.
The dance is scheduled to start at 6:30 in the evening, and the guests will enter the venue one after another after 5:00, and they will all arrive before 6:20.
The three brothers and sisters of the Chao family enjoyed playing for two days. On the 7th, the beautiful boy took a flight to Country Y, and Miss Chao Er went directly back to school.
Classmate Le Xiao stayed one more night in the hotel and went to the airport on the 8th to meet up with Milo, Alessandro, Roberto, Liszt, and several members of the Howard family to fly to Country M.
Amedeo was studying in Cambridge. He did not go to Country M. Oscar was lucky enough to travel with his father and his little sweetheart. Of course, they only flew to New York with Guai Guai. He then changed the plane to Boston and returned to Harvard University.
