"Josie, have you been waiting for a long time?" At about one o'clock in the afternoon, a brand new car stopped in front of Josie. Then Margot got out of the car and gave Josie a warm hug.
"No, it's my honor to wait for the most beautiful lady in the world!" Josie complimented.
"Oh Josie, you are so good at talking." Margot smiled broadly when she heard Josie's compliment, and then pointed to the driveway, "This is the car I prepared for you, how about it? Do you like it?"
"It's a little ostentatious, but it's very beautiful. I like it very much!" Qiao Xi looked at the car and raised an eyebrow.
There is no doubt that Margot, a rich woman, will not be a simple person.
Although the car in front of me is inferior to the Cadillac V16, it is no worse than Margot's own Packard.
This is a 1942 Lincoln Continental, the last sedan sold by Lincoln before the United States entered the war.
Although the European Continental style arch wheel lines of the first generation 1939 model were lost due to the facelift, it was more in line with Josie’s senses.
The only shortcoming is that, as Josie said, it's too showy.
Well, it’s not the model that’s flamboyant, but the color… This car is burgundy.
"Young people should be more open and lively. You just act a little too mature." Margot said nonchalantly, "Come on, get in the car and drive yourself!"
When going to see the house yesterday, Josie said that she could drive. Margot didn't believe it. However, after letting Josie try it, Margot discovered that Josie's driving skills were better than hers, so she was not worried about Josie.
The west won't open.
While speaking, Margot also reached out to grab the suitcase next to Josie.
There are two suitcases beside Josie, one large and one small.
The big one is a classic 28-inch cowhide suitcase of this era.
The other one was a suitcase that looked only about seven or eight inches tall.
Margot didn't overestimate her ability to pick up the big suitcase because it looked very heavy.
So she decisively wanted to pick up the little one.
Then just mentioning it, she almost fell down.
Fortunately, Qiao Xi had quick eyesight and quick hands and helped her directly.
Good guy, if he were slower, it would be a trivial matter if Margot fell. But if the box was broken and the contents fell out, it would be a big deal.
"What's in this box? Why is it so heavy?" Margot said in shock as she almost fell.
It was said to be heavy, but in fact it was only about 30 kilograms, and it was not so heavy that she couldn't lift it.
It was just that the actual weight exceeded her estimate and she almost fell down because she used too much force.
"It's not convenient here. You'll know when you get to Evanston." Josie said somewhat mysteriously, and then put the small box in the car.
"Wow, I'm looking forward to it." Seeing Josie's appearance, Margot's curiosity became even more intense.
There was no delay on the way, Josie drove and soon arrived at the house in Evanston.
This time, the middle-aged man next door was not watering the flowers, but was drinking afternoon tea with his wife in the yard, enjoying the warm sunshine in late winter.
"Tommy, are they new? It seems we will have neighbors in the future." Yesterday, the middle-aged man's wife was not here, but today I saw a young man and woman arriving, and I couldn't help but be curious.
"No, we have always had a neighbor, it's that girl, but she doesn't live here. It just looks like our future neighbor will become that boy." A middle-aged man named Tommy said.
.
After Josie and Margot came yesterday, he made some inquiries and found out that the house next door had always been owned by a young rich girl.
So Tommy immediately thought of Margot.
"Then do you think we should invite them over for some coffee? After all, we will all be neighbors from now on." Tommy's wife couldn't help but say.
"Haha, don't bother this young man. Looking at the boy with his salute, it's obvious that he just officially moved here today. Maybe the two of them are going to be in trouble now." Tommy joked with a smile.
"Well, you're right." Hearing Tommy's words, his wife was slightly startled, although she nodded.
In the Xia Kingdom of this era, people would definitely gossip about something like that for a hundred days, but in Europe and the United States, this is a normal thing.
When she and Tommy were young, they had done even more ridiculous things.
Thinking like this, she couldn't help but feel a little hot.
"What's the matter, Sarah?" Tommy noticed something strange about his wife, and couldn't help but become interested. He put his hand on his wife's leg and asked pretending not to know.
Although he is already an old married couple, in fact, he and his family have been separated for four of the past five years.
It was just before moving here last year that he reunited with his family.
It is said that a separation is better than a new marriage. After four years of separation, the relationship between him and his wife has become even stronger.
What's more, both of them are still young, Tommy is in his early 40s, and his wife is just 40, and they are still relatively energetic at that age.
"Go, go, don't make trouble, you have to pick up the child later." Sensing her husband's dishonesty, the wife rolled her eyes and knocked his hand off.
American students finish school very early. Even in the 21st century, the general dismissal time is only around three in the afternoon.
In the 1940s, schoolwork was far less arduous than in later generations, and school ended at about the same time, or even earlier.
So it's already past two o'clock, so it's really not the time to be bored.
Tommy, who understood this, could only retract his hand angrily.
At the same time, in the house next door, Josie and Margot were not having a storm as Tommy and his wife had guessed.
After all, the two of them had only known each other for two days. Although Margot had a great crush on Josie, she was not so quick-tempered that she rejected Josie so quickly. She still had the reserve of a lady in her heart.
Even if her husband hadn't changed his attentiveness to her before marriage and stayed away from home for many years, living and drinking outside, Margot might not have been attracted to Josie... This is something Margot didn't tell Josie.
.
That is, Margot has already discovered the fact that her husband, relying on his reputation as a star athlete, has more than one lover outside, and they use her money.
Margot's state at this time is actually somewhat similar to Ruth in Titanic, longing to escape from the cage of her original life.
But what makes Margot better than Ruth is that Margot's husband cheated on her first, while Ruth was engaged to the steel magnate Carl and was fooling around with Jack in the blink of an eye.
On the other hand, Ruth is just the daughter of a bankrupt nobleman, and although Margot is not a nobleman, she is the one who has the initiative when it comes to property issues.
The marriage laws in this era are not as sound as they will be in the future, and the family property comes from the property inherited by Margot. If Margot makes a fuss about her husband's cheating, then in the event of divorce, Margot's
Tennis player husband, don't even think about getting a penny.
Likewise, Josie is not Jack.
Jack was a real poor guy, and he even won a berth ticket by playing cards.
And Josie is not poor.
For example, now, when Josie opened the small box, the gold bars with a total weight of 500 ounces and nearly 15 kilograms were revealed, which caused Margot's brain to shut down for a while.
This is of course not that Margot has never seen money. After all, 500 ounces of gold, even at the black market price, is only more than 20,000 US dollars. Margot's wealth is hundreds of times that amount.
It's just that Qiao Xi said she was rich before, so she thought it was the other person's pride that was causing trouble.
I didn’t expect that I actually had a lot of money.
