Chapter 94 Dinner

In a mansion in Sacramento, California's second port, two men in suits were bored and teasing their dogs.

The lively husky looked extremely docile under someone's black bear-like figure, trembling and letting the two of them toss it around.

"Ugh, I hope this is the last time I button up a suit before I win a championship this year."

O'Neal tugged on the tie around his neck. The custom-made suit worth tens of thousands of dollars did not bring him much comfort just because it was expensive. The feeling of being restricted everywhere made him feel very uncomfortable who was used to streaking around in Miami mansions.

uneasy.

Mo Wen, who was leaning back in the chair, rolled his eyes. You are the one who wants to join in the fun.

This family dinner was earned by Mo Wen and Schwarzenegger after they bet that the Pistons would beat the Lakers. As a former core player of the Lakers, O'Neal was able to come over and share the meal with a confident face.

It really echoes the old saying: If a tree doesn’t have its bark, it will surely die; if a person has no shame, it will be invincible.

"Gentlemen, the dinner is ready. You can come over and dine."

One by one, old women with wide bodies and big butts came to the two of them, bowed slightly and said.

Mo Wen and Aopang nodded and got up, letting the poor Xiu Gou go, got up and walked to the bathroom.

"What are you looking at? Could it be that your taste is so unique?"

Sensing Mo Wen's glance, Ao Pang said with a hint of surprise and disdain.

"Haha, I just thought about it. Mr. Governor's family is not short of money, so why not hire a more beautiful nanny."

"Oh, this kind of thing, you will understand when you get married. This is how a woman chooses a nanny." Ao Pang shook his head helplessly.

Thinking about the horror stories about marriage in his previous life, Mo Wen also shook his head.

The Schwarzenegger in front of him was actually an example. If he remembered correctly, the fat nanny just now would reveal another layer of hidden identity in the future - Schwarzenegger's mistress.

Well, yes, the taste of T800 is so unique.

Schwarzenegger's wife was also a beauty when she was young. Now she is old and not so beautiful, but she is still a normal person. Mo Wen has never been married, so she really can't understand the aesthetics of a married man.

Catherine, who was "protected" by Schwarzenegger, finally appeared during dinner.

American girls are generally precocious, and usually look like adults at the age of thirteen or fourteen. Catherine, who is already 17 years old, put on some light makeup today, and her decent white dress could not hide her good figure. Sitting next to Mo Wen, they looked like

There is no sense of disharmony between a couple.

Although the two chatted too much online, they did not dare to have too many intimate actions under the watchful eyes of Schwarzenegger and his wife.

"Where's my birthday gift?" Catherine asked, tugging on Mo Wen's sleeve.

"Didn't I give it to you that night? Didn't you receive it?" Mo Wenyi said pointedly. Catherine's birthday was December 13th, which happened to be the day he scored 50 points.

"That doesn't count! Don't try to fool me." The little girl pouted and said.

"Then let me tell you another story. Don't you like hearing stories?" Mo Wen continued with the corner of his mouth raised.

"I don't want a story, I want a gift! You promised me!" Catherine put on an "I'm super fierce" expression, pouting and hugging her chest, looking at Mo Wen menacingly.

Seeing that Catherine was really anxious, Mo Wen stopped teasing her and pointed to a cabinet next to the Christmas tree in the front hall, where there were many gifts he had brought for members of Catherine's family.

Most of them are small and worthless items. Schwarzenegger is currently the governor and has strict rules on gifts. Mo Wen only buys them after communicating with him.

The most precious gift Mo Wen gave to Catherine was his out-of-print No. 66 jersey signed by the Pistons' winning lineup and a volume of Harry Potter signed by Rowling and the trio that he asked Scheumann to help him get.

original.

In terms of physical value, these two pieces are not worth much, but the collection value is hard to say.

After opening the gift, Catherine expressed surprise. She rushed over with a book signed by Rowling and naturally gave Mo Wen a big hug.

"Thank you, idiot"

Only then did Mo Wen understand what the little girl meant by asking him for gifts.

Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Mo Wen was a little stunned for a moment.

Mom, I seem to be in love.

"Ahem!"

It wasn't until Schwarzenegger coughed twice that the two of them recovered and separated.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but luckily O'Neal also came. As a member of the TNT group, he would never lack topics to chat with after living in Los Angeles for 8 years.

Mo Wen has not been obsessed with beauty for too long. As a time traveler, his professional knowledge may not be that rich, but when it comes to bragging, he is first-class.

From the sports circle to the entertainment circle, from the entertainment circle to financial technology.

With O'Neal sitting next to him and cheering, the laughter at the dinner table never stopped.

Of course, during the conversation and laughter, Mo Wen and Catherine also interacted indispensably, either through flirting or whispering.

The actions of the two made O'Neal's eyelids jump as he tried his best to warm up the scene.

In the past, O'Neal felt that he was very courageous, and Kobe, who dared to date an underage girl, was even more courageous. But when he saw Mo Wen in front of him, he found that he still lacked some imagination.

He went to the governor's house and made love to the governor's underage daughter in front of the governor.

What a magical plot.

Although Schwarzenegger was chatting and laughing with them at the dinner table, Ao Pang could still feel the flash of murderous intent in his eyes towards Mo Wen.

He was really afraid that Schwarzenegger would drop his wine glass, and then a bunch of bodyguards would come out from all directions and chop them into pieces.

"Don't you really think about coming to California to play in the future? The four teams in California are not very good now. With your ability, you will definitely become the core. We in California are not Texas, and our fans are much more friendly and tolerant."

Schwarzenegger extended the invitation again, and glanced at Catherine as if to hint that Mo Wen was not interested.

Mo Wen felt that Schwarzenegger might have some conspiracy, but as a politician and an actor, Schwarzenegger's acting skills were absolutely full and he didn't show any special expression.

It's no secret that he has a chance to become a free agent in two years.

The "Arenas Clause" currently proposed by the league will not be able to apply to him because he ended the child labor contract early.

Which team he joins will all depend on his mood and the salary offered by the other team.

"Hey, you can't do this Arnold, Mo is an important member of our team, and we still want to build a dynasty in the Heat."

O'Neal next to him hugged Mo Wen and said dissatisfiedly to Schwarzenegger.

"I think this does not violate the rules. NBA regulations do not allow other teams to contact players privately, but I am not representing the team, I am representing California."

Schwarzenegger said nonchalantly, his eyes still fixed on Mo Wen.

This year, Catherine will be in her senior year of high school (four years of high school in the United States) and will graduate and go to college in a year and a half. By then, Mo Wen's contract will also be over. He will recruit Mo Wen and send Catherine to a city in the east or north.

, which can perfectly stagger the two of them.

You can't blame Schwarzenegger for not liking Mo Wen. He also came from Hollywood and knows very well how chaotic the American cultural and sports world is.

There are currently no scandals about Mo Wen, but he does not believe that Mo Wen will be clean in private or in the future.

"It's too early to say this now, and Shaq is here. If I dare to say it, I will have to take a taxi back by myself tonight."

The happy time is always short-lived. After taking the last group photo, it was finally time to say goodbye.

"Here you go, this is your Christmas gift. Open it when you get back. Don't think it's too ugly."

Before leaving, with everyone watching, Catherine blushed and handed a beautifully wrapped gift box to Mo Wen.

After feeling the weight, Mo Wen probably knew what it was, and restrained some less "punishing" impulses. He just gently touched the girl's head, looking at Schwarzenegger's stiff smile and murderous expression.

His eyes left the governor's mansion.

"Why do you have a gift and I don't?"

Ao Pang, who was crowded in the back row, acted like a child and complained a little dissatisfied.

"Huh? Didn't T800 give you two bottles of dry red as a return gift?"

"I mean the share that Miss Catherine gave you in the end."

"If a girl dares to give you a sweater knitted by her own hands, do you dare to ask for it?" Mo Wen smiled coldly.

"Well, and I guess you have only worn sweaters knitted by your mother. After all, your scarf needs to be much better than others to be able to use it."

"Fake Squid, you damn guy, I'm going to kill you!" Aopang covered his face and pretended to be grief-stricken, and launched a devastating move towards Mo Wen.

······

At night Catherine's brother Patrick poked his head into the room of his two sisters.

"Sister Catherine, can I exchange tonight's gift with you? Mo gave me an iPod, but I already have the same one."

"I remember you don't have the habit of collecting jerseys, can you..."

Before Patrick could finish his words, Catherine, who had always been gentle, coldly interrupted what he wanted to say.

"No, get out!"
