"You found him?"
Sisi shook her head. "It was Hao Hao who found him; we only recently got married."
Du Renfei seemed relieved, and he came over and patted her shoulder affectionately.
"It's good that you're married, otherwise it would be awkward for everyone, wouldn't it? You should know that we're not deliberately distancing ourselves from you, it's just that Yunyun married someone of high status and position, and we can't allow such a scandal to happen to our relatives."
Du Yunyun, Sisi's eldest sister, pulled a tall, brown-haired, green-eyed man to her side and affectionately took his arm.
“Sisi, this is your brother-in-law Hansen. He’s from the Yore family, you know the Yore family from New Jersey.”
Sisi was stunned. Good heavens, how could she know? She'd only heard of the world's three great families; the others were complete strangers. But of course, she couldn't be so obedient, so…
"Uh, I know, I know." This is a white lie; surely God won't blame her?
Du Lili then pulled over another man with black hair and blue eyes, while winking mysteriously at Sisi.
“He is Joseph. We met again at a dance two years ago. His wife had died in a car accident long ago, so we... hehe, you know, anyway, we got back together.”
"Is that Joseph?!" Sisi's eyes widened in surprise. He was indeed handsome, but compared to Joel, he was far inferior!
"I think we should go to the restaurant and sit down. It's not really appropriate to talk here, is it?"
So, at Du Renfei's suggestion, everyone went to the restaurant and sat down. After the drinks were served, Du Lili asked a question out of curiosity.
"Didn't you just get married? Why are you here alone with Yuan Ling?"
"Ah, well..." Sisi chuckled awkwardly. "We have some, uh, disagreements, so... hehe, I just came out for a walk to clear my head!"
"Disagreement?" Du Yunyun gave her a suspicious look. "Sisi, I'm not talking about you, but if you don't learn to control your personality, you'll easily break up even if you get married."
"Yes, yes, I know, I know. But talking about me is really pointless, let's talk about you guys instead," Sisi quickly changed the subject. "How did you end up here?"
"It's nothing really," Shen Ruyou said, though her eyes betrayed her smugness. She beamed, "Ever since your father's company, with Hansen's help, established itself in New Jersey, your older brothers have also joined to help. The company has grown incredibly fast; we already have three branches on the East Coast!"
"Wow, really? Dad, congratulations!" Sisi was genuinely happy for them. Establishing themselves in the United States and entering the upper class had always been their goal, and now they had achieved it.
"This time, Yunyun is going on her second honeymoon with her husband, so my parents and I invited Lili and Joseph to come along for the fun and to catch up on their relationship. Ren Di is unmarried, so we left him at the company to keep things in order."
According to Du Renfei's implication, this trip was likely arranged to strongly encourage Lili and Joseph to get together. Sisi could understand this, as being related to two prominent families through marriage would greatly benefit their careers and reputations.
"And what about your sister-in-law?"
"She had morning sickness and wasn't feeling well, so she stayed in her room to sleep. Hansen's two younger sisters, Trisha and Tria, went surfing."
Shen Ruyou stared at Sisi for a long while, then suddenly said, "Come play with us!"
Seeing that Sisi was stunned for a moment, Du Lili pressed her hand and said, "That's right, come and play with us! It's been so long, I have so much to talk to you about!"
Sisi glanced at the two of them, her eyes also filled with apology, and then she smiled, a smile of relief.
"OK!"
When Joel rushed to the Gold Coast, he found his wife had gone to Sydney again. He immediately chased after her, only to run into Yuan Ling and her suitor! Yuan Ling told him that Sisi had gone to Adelaide with her family for an arts event, and naturally, he immediately resumed his pursuit, heading to the mountains, the Grand Cayman Islands, Longchester…
In the end, ironically, he ran all the way back to the Gold Coast before catching up with them. He didn't know that it was because Trisha and Tria didn't want to go sightseeing with the group, preferring to stay on the Gold Coast surfing and sunbathing, so in the end they still had to go back to the Gold Coast to meet them.
However, Trisha and Gongya still didn't want to go back, and Hansen, as the eldest brother, naturally couldn't leave them behind, so everyone stayed. During the day, the men went to casinos and gyms to pass the time, while the women, except for Trisha and Cuiya, went shopping or lay by the pool to get a tan. At night, they went to nightclubs to watch shows and dance.
What Sisi found most amusing was that Trisha and Tria frolicked with different men day and night, as if in a competition. They loved to choose a particular man for each other first, and then pursue them simultaneously. Seeing this, she was genuinely envious of them. They had enough to qualify for such things. As for her, if she were placed among them for centuries to be available for free, probably no one would even give her a second glance.
She looked at her two older sisters, both about ten centimeters taller and much fuller-figured than her. Men walking by the pool would cast admiring glances at them, while she...
Forget it, I rolled over and lay face down on the recliner, out of sight, out of mind.
As usual, Sisi gradually drifted off to sleep. In her hazy dream, she seemed to hear the two women with devilish figures, Trisha and Tria, joining them. They deliberately laughed loudly to attract attention; it was their little trick.
Then, just before she was about to lose consciousness, she seemed to hear a series of gasps and gasps, and a man murmuring praises.
Well, it's none of her business, so Sisi made herself more comfortable and planned to invite Mr. Zhou Gong (the Duke of Zhou) back for a chat.
On the other side of the pool, everyone held their breath as a tall, slender man leaped into the water with a graceful movement comparable to a professional swimmer, then swam underwater at incredible speed to this side. When he emerged from the water, everyone was involuntarily awestruck.
He quickly leaped onto the edge of the pool, slowly gathering his disheveled long hair behind his head with both hands, a languid and sexy movement. Silence reigned all around; every gaze was fixed on him, especially from the women, whose faces clearly displayed naked lust and blatant desire.
He was a magnetic man, capable of attracting the attention of all women, capturing the mind and soul of any woman in the world.
But he was so aloof and oblivious to everyone else. No matter how many admiring eyes he received, his outstanding features still wore an arrogant and indifferent expression, and the sexy charm emanating from his handsome body was breathtaking.
His long, powerful legs and muscular arms, along with his broad chest covered in black, curly chest hair that hinted at astonishing strength, exuded a noble aura hidden within a wild and robust masculine presence, seemingly capable of supporting the heavens and the earth.
Ignoring the stares of the crowd, he slowly walked to the side of Sisi's recliner, knelt down on one knee, silently picked up the sunscreen from the side, poured it into his palm, and then placed his long, strong hand on Sisi's back to slowly massage her.
"Mmm, so comfortable..." Sisi murmured. "Mmm, a little lower, Second Sister."
The man gave an amused smile and slowly moved his large hand down.
"Mmm, mmm, right there... Oh, that's great... Uh, can you push a little harder, second sister?"
Sisi smiled comfortably, while her second sister, Du Lili, stood by, staring at the man who was giving Sisi a massage.
"Mmm...that feels so good, Second Sister. Let me give you a massage later!"
"OK!"
"Oh?!" Sisi's eyes widened suddenly. When did her second sister's voice become so deep? And, are her second sister's hands really that big? And... God, that familiar masculine scent... She gasped and abruptly rolled over.
"Ah—" she screamed. "Joe! What are you doing here?!"
