Chapter 121 "Baby"
On Christmas Eve, the entire New York City was enveloped in a festive atmosphere. Amidst the ringing of camel bells, the first snow of 2016 belatedly arrived. The heavy snow in the sky covered the entire city with a silver dress.
Under the moonlight, there is a quiet and peaceful beauty.
"Children, come to dinner." In the mansion, in the spacious living room, there were two Christmas trees hung with colored lights and bells. There were piles of gift boxes next to the Christmas tree.
At the dinner table, Luo Ni had already prepared a sumptuous dinner for the family: roast suckling pig, roast ham, salmon, and roast turkey steaming under the light, exuding an alluring aroma.
In addition to the staple food, there are quite a few drinks and desserts such as Christmas pudding, plums, mince pies, fruit cocktails, creamy mashed potatoes and so on.
Luo Quan, who came downstairs, was shocked when she saw the delicacies on the table. She had never seen such a sumptuous dinner before. Leon, who was following her, was also impressed.
But after all, it is the most important festival in the West. No matter how sumptuous the food is, it is not an exaggeration.
This was also the first big meal for a family of four. Although it was not a five-star hotel or a Michelin restaurant, the skills of the chefs who made these dishes were no worse than those of the chefs in these high-end restaurants.
After a big meal, the family of four chatted and laughed. Eric drank a lot of wine during the meal. It was obvious that he was very happy.
Maybe it was because he was too drunk, Eric felt a little dizzy after eating, and Luo Ni quickly sent him back to the room.
Leon looked at his watch and said to Luo Quan: "I'm going to the new album release venue later. Do you want to go?"
"What am I going to do?"
"You are the main composer of the two title songs. As a rule, you have to show your face at such events."
Luo Quan thought to himself that there was nothing to do anyway, so it would be nice to go and have some fun.
"Do you need to put on makeup or change clothes or something?" Luo Quan asked.
Leon scratched his head: "It's not like walking on the red carpet, but if you want to change, it's not impossible. After all, a lot of media are coming tonight, so there's nothing wrong with dressing up."
Luo Quan smiled: "Forget it, I'm afraid I will steal your limelight."
After making up his mind, Luo Quan went upstairs and told his mother about going out.
Luo Ni was quite worried at first. The United States was not as peaceful as in China. New York was not peaceful at night. Many homeless people and potential criminals would wander the streets.
However, I heard that an agent would drive to pick them up, which finally made me feel relieved.
"When you come back, bring more people with you if you can. It will be safer if you have more people." Even so, Luo Ni still told Luo Quan with a worried look on his face.
Luo Quan said with a relaxed look: "Don't worry, your daughter and I are not a flower vase. Two or three big men can't even get close to me!"
Although he said this, Luo Quan was actually a little nervous in his heart.
After all, this is the United States, and guns are not allowed. Here, the possibility of a highway robbery criminal not carrying a gun is even lower than the possibility of a Chinese robber not carrying a knife.
Although she has some boxing skills, she is strong enough to fight a gunman. If she doesn't control this thing well, her life will be lost.
That is to say, this is New York. If it were a place like Chicago or Detroit, Luo Quan would not dare to go out even to death.
After going back to the room and changing into clean clothes and shoes, Luo Quan went downstairs.
"I thought it would take you half an hour to get down." Leon was surprised to see Luo Quan finished it so quickly. Doesn't it take an hour for girls to put on makeup and change clothes?
Luo Quan explained: "I don't know how to put on makeup, so I attend most occasions without makeup. What about you, don't you clean up your image?"
Luo Quan saw that Leon's hair was very messy and his eyes looked a little tired from staying up late during this period.
Leon smiled proudly: "Melancholy and decadence are now popular in the United States, and my look is the favorite among girls."
Sure enough, mourning culture is very popular no matter where you are. Young people in China and Japan are also like this. The terms "dead house" and "waste" are no longer new.
The long-established class has cut off the possibility of advancement for most people. The fast-paced life and heavy pressure make people breathless. Just surviving is already very tiring.
In such an environment, it is not surprising that mourning culture is popular.
Ten minutes later, Lyon's agent drove a black car and parked at the door of the mansion.
When he got to the car, Luo Quan saw that Lyon's agent was not much older than him, only in his early twenties at most, which was too young.
Seeing a girl following behind Lyon, the agent said: "You must be Lyon's sister, I am his agent Seifert."
"Hello, my name is Luo Quan."
"Luo... Quan?" Seifert read this somewhat awkward name, "Are you from China?"
"Yes." Luo Quan nodded.
Seifert cast a doubtful look at Leon.
Lyon explained: "Luo Quan and I are half-siblings, and Luo Quan's mother is Chinese."
"Oh...that's it." Although this was explained clearly, Seifert was still a little confused.
Logically speaking, a mixed-race child should have the characteristics of both parents, but Luo Quan's appearance does not look any different from that of a white person, and does not look like a mixed-race child at all.
However, it was not easy for him to continue asking this kind of question.
Speaking of which, Luo Quan was actually confused about this issue before, but she understood it after seeing her father.
She is also of mixed race. Eric has no Asian features at all. She still has black eyes. It can only be said that these are the genes she inherited from her father.
After driving for about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at the Manhattan Hotel in New York.
Tonight, Lyon's new album press conference will be held here. Unlike the Japanese entertainment industry, fans are usually not present at such press conferences. Basically, they are all media reporters.
As soon as Lyon's exclusive car arrived, reporters outside the hotel immediately surrounded him. Fortunately, Seifert reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes immediately, otherwise the press conference would have been a car accident scene.
"God, can't you wait until I park the car before you get in?!" Seifert rolled down the window and shouted angrily.
The bodyguards arranged by the company also quickly gathered around and pushed aside all the reporters who were trying their best to squeeze in front of Lyon, leaving a path for him.
Leon opened the door and got out of the car with Luo Quan one after another.
The reporters obviously did not expect that Luo Quan would come with Leon. They all became as excited as sharks smelling blood and pushed forward desperately.
"Leon, is this your sister?"
"Leon, why did you bring your sister with you? Do you want to use your popularity to help her enter the American entertainment industry?"
