Chapter 121
"Of course we'll sail, otherwise it wouldn't be called 'a cruise party' . Haven't I told you? This party will last from the afternoon till midnight so we're going to stay overnight onboard . Why? Did you forget to tell your family?"
"No . " Zhang Lisheng looked out of the window again and noticed that the radiant sun had long returned to normal . After a moment of pondering, he said, "Actually, I rarely participate in any parties so I'm just asking . "
A perplexed look crept up on Tina's face . However, she knew that the skinny young man in front would not talk much even if she continued to pursue . "Well, I don't mind . Anyway, Lisheng . We have to go down now . The party is going to start soon and it's time for us to make our appearance . "
Zhang Lisheng nodded silently before taking Tina's arm .
After the waiters in the great hall of the cruise's second floor busily straightened out the few distinguished guests' formal attires, the Fordham Sisters and each of their respective male companions began to descend to the lower floor using the three cruise's scenic elevators that had an open view of the sky, with the company of a well-known American song titled "She's my eternal treasure" .
Abandoning the traditional staircase covered by a red carpet, while gracefully accepting the blessings from friends and relatives, they slowly walked downwards, taking Walter into consideration whose leg was inconvenient .
However, as the daytime-exclusive firework shot up to the sky from the patio, the three beautiful girls slowly descended from the transparent scenic elevators . The people taking part in the parties did not hesitate to cheer loudly in a deafening manner in the atmosphere that was bustling with joy and life .
Among the male companions of the three leading girls, the short and skinny yellow-skinned Zhang Lisheng should be the one who grabbed the most attention .
However, due to the makeup put on by the makeup artist, it added to the prestige of his appearance a lot . Even though Walter diligently tried to conceal it, he still walked in a crooked manner when he walked out of the elevator . The way his mouth was constantly twitching was just too weird . In comparison, the young man standing beside Tina seemed to be less noticeable at the moment .
The vast majority of the unidentified guests shifted the dumbstruck gaze that they thought had been concealed good enough towards Walter .
Under the astonishment of the guests, the party continued to go on, the three beautiful girls who made their appearance in the bright fireworks began to accept the coming-of-age gifts from their parents . Due to the reason that this was the most important day in the traditional culture of America, the three reputable parents were not too stingy in their gifts .
Tina received a first-class apartment in Boston .
Sheila's gift was a brand new luxurious yacht .
Trish, on the other hand, received an antique cross that was priced at fifteen cities, and was engraved with diamonds inscribed with "I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church" .
After the girls received the gifts from their loves of previous lives — their fathers, their current male companions presented them with their birthday gifts . Walter gave a female Rado dive watch and though it was slightly shabby, it was already the best that he could afford according to his financial ability .
The stand-in Dubin generously gifted a Cartier diamond bracelet, which fit quite good enough in such an occasion .
Lastly, Zhang Lisheng, who did not know any better, gave a necklace that had a pendant made up of transparent pink diamonds that were more than five carats . Just one glance, one could tell that this was either a fake jewel or one that had its own name that could be truly handed down to later generations . The moment the jewel appeared, the young people present at the party immediately exclaimed in astonishment .
"This is not fake right? But, looking at its luster, it should be authentic . Damn it, this is blatant conduct of the nouveau riche! How embarrassing!" Upon seeing the gift, even Dolby had shock written all over his face . "Still, this fellow is really quite generous…"
"Exactly, such legendary news of taking out a necklace worth millions of dollars just to celebrate for his girlfriend's coming-of-age day may be circulated for many years . As for nouveau riche, my dear, this is New York where money never rests and not Paris where only elegance and taste are left . We're all descendants of nouveau riche, right?" Upon hearing his wife's words, Dolby pouted in disdain but he did not say anything else .
Just as his father was rendered speechless, Tina whispered to Zhang Lisheng who did not know what he should do next . "Lisheng, hurry up and put that necklace on me . How much money did you spend to buy that?"
"97,000 dollars . "
"My goodness! You're absolutely crazy! Why did you buy such an expensive gift for me?!"
