Chapter 1158 Mellon Family

Chapter 1158 Mellon Family (Second update, please subscribe)
The United States also has aristocrats, but they have no titles, only wealth. At least on the surface, they have no titles.

In the United States, the Mellon family is definitely the aristocracy among aristocrats - two years ago, on the list of "The Richest Americans" published by Fortune, four of the eight richest people in the United States were members of the Mellon family!
In America wealth is matched by influence.

There weren't many people coming to the Mellon family's ball, but those who were eligible to attend were definitely American aristocrats. And those who were invited to the ball were actually entering the American aristocratic circle.

That evening, the Mellons' estate was bustling with activity. In addition to the four richest Mellons listed in Fortune magazine, there were many other guests. Mrs. Mellon chatted with all the guests with ease - as everyone knew, Mrs. Mellon was the wife of Mellon's good friend.

Twelve years ago, Paul's wife unfortunately passed away due to an asthma attack.

On the other hand, the later Mrs. Mellon and her ex-husband could no longer continue their relationship due to emotional discord, and the two sides divorced peacefully after communication. Later, she and Paul got together because of their common interest in art.

No one knows the reason.

But Mrs. Mellon, who came from an aristocratic family in Princeton, was very good at such occasions. She mostly talked about art with others, and today was no exception. This was even the reason why she and Paul got married.

Paul Mellon himself was obsessed with art. In his villa in Virginia, he collected more than 1800 paintings, 5000 prints, and more than 7000 drawings and watercolors of British art alone.

There are naturally many works of art here.

"Peggy, look, this is the work Paul bought when he was serving in the UK..."

Standing in front of an oil painting, Rachel took Peggy and introduced the painting to her. Paul had communicated with her a few days ago. She agreed with Paul's decision, not because she loved her daughter so much.

But it was because Anne was not her daughter!

Anne is Paul's only daughter, but she is his ex-wife's biological child. Although they have been married for eleven years, they have no children. She sent Anne to boarding school several years ago.

Therefore, he was very enthusiastic about Peggy. If her son was not only fourteen years old, he would have wanted to marry his daughter to her right away.

Not for anything else, just to find a good family for her.

15 years old is not young anymore!

It is very rare for a stepmother to care for her daughter to this extent.

There's nothing you can do about it; this is all mother's love for her daughter.

While his mother and Mrs. Mellon were admiring the art, Jason seemed a little bored - because the people here were either old or young, and no one was his age. But this did not prevent some ladies from inviting him to dance. In fact, from the moment he entered the ball, many women's eyes lit up, both young and old.

For Jason, who was only fourteen years old, he really didn't want to participate in such social occasions. Logically, he should have waited another two years.

After politely declining a lady's invitation to have a drink, Jason fled the party. After he walked out of the Mellon house, he went directly to a nearby greenhouse. As soon as he entered, he smelled smoke.

Then look at a girl in an evening gown, she is standing there, her right elbow resting on her left hand, with a cigarette between her right fingers. The girl is very beautiful, her facial features are like delicate sculptures, and the right makeup makes her face more three-dimensional. The way she holds the cigarette is even more tempting.

Although he was only fourteen years old, Jason was a little moved at that moment.

Perhaps she heard the movement behind her. The girl turned around and said:
"who is it?"

Jason, who was about to turn around and leave, apologized:
"excuse me."

The girl looked at Jason, sized him up, and said:

"Oh, it's you."

Looking at the boy in front of her, he was very handsome. When he first entered the dance, he attracted people's attention. Even her aunt looked at him several times in succession, wishing she was thirty years younger and then ran to his side. However, it seemed that there was never a shortage of young men around her.

"Did you escape?"

"how do you know?"

Jason was shocked. Could this girl read minds?
The boy's answer made the girl laugh out loud. Her smile was very beautiful. After laughing for a while, she said:
"Guess."

Then the girl went to the window and through the glass she could vaguely see the dance on the other side. She said:

"Do you know what they are talking about?"

“It seems to be art.”

Jason said.

“It seems like they talk about it all the time.”

Then she said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Yes, it's art. It seems that everyone here has transformed into an artist. Well, since Mr. and Mrs. Mellon like these things, they must cater to their tastes. There are even more artworks here than in the National Gallery of Art..."

Then the girl turned her gaze to another window, where Mrs. Mellon was talking to another lady. Although the distance was too far and she couldn't even see them clearly, she knew what they were talking about.

"Especially Mrs. Mellon. She always talks about art. She even redesigned the manor. Actually, it's not surprising. She only graduated from high school... She doesn't know anything except art!"

After making a casual sarcasm, the girl looked at the boy next to her and said:

"You and your mother don't seem to belong here."

"Yes, if it weren't for this dance, I would be enjoying the tropical sunshine and beach now!"

Jason complained with a look of disgust:

"But you don't belong here either."

The boy's words made the girl burst into laughter. She looked at the boy and asked:

"Where is the sunny beach you're talking about? Virginia? Or Florida?"

"Chang'an."

"Chang'an? Chang'an Love? Can you take me there?"

The girl said:

"I haven't been there yet. It seems that's where the British princess went when she ran away from home. Chang'an Holiday, I think!"

It must be said that this classic not only made Hepburn famous all over the world and won an Oscar, but also made Chang An famous all over the world. If it weren't for that movie, perhaps Chang An wouldn't be known to everyone. "Uh... no, she went to... okay, it doesn't matter!"

Jason looked at the girl, as if he had suddenly realized something, and said:
"You...want to run away from home?"

The girl stared at Jason with her innocent little eyes and asked:
"How about it? Do you want to try it?"

……

When Jason came to his senses again, he had already arrived in Los Angeles. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind...

What on earth did I do?
"Jason, I bought the plane ticket!"

Vivian smiled, raising the plane ticket in her hand.

"Let's go, the plane is about to leave."

As she spoke, she had already pulled Jason's arm and walked straight in another direction. Smelling the perfume around her and listening to the girl's laughter, another idea flashed through Jason's mind.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter!

At worst, I can wait until I get to Chang'an and call my mother.

At this time, Jason didn't know that the Mellon Manor in Cleveland had already been in chaos, and a large number of police gathered there - after all, someone in the Mellon family was missing!
This is absolutely a big deal!
Just as people were anxiously waiting for news from the police, the accompanying assistant walked up to Peggy and spoke in her ear.

"lady……"

After listening to the assistant's words, Peggy was stunned at first, then the tension on her face disappeared, and then she asked again.

"sure?"

The assistant nodded, and Peggy breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Paul and the other Mellon family members.

Ok!

Let’s leave it like this for now!

Then she said to her assistant:

"Contact Chang'an first."

Then she walked towards Paul, and when she came in front of him, she said:
"Mr. Mellon, I got some news."

……

What is it like to run away from home?
Stimulate!

Sitting in the cabin, Jason looked around curiously. It was his first time traveling alone, so he was curious about everything. In contrast, Vivian seemed very calm. She fell asleep as soon as she got on the plane.

The sunlight shone on her body through the plane window, her ivory white skin glowed with an alluring luster, and she fell asleep like a sleeping beauty. Looking at the girl beside him, Jason couldn't help but be a little dazed. It was the first time he looked at a girl like this.

This girl brought him so many very new experiences, just like now.

Just at this moment, the girl's long eyelashes blinked, and Jason turned around quickly. Vivian, who had already woken up, opened her eyes and looked out the window. All she saw was the vast ocean, so she asked.

"Jason, where are we?"

"We are still in the Pacific Ocean. It will probably take a few more hours to reach Chang'an."

"Don't you have any rest?"

Vivian asked curiously:

"I slept for a while, then woke up again."

Jason said truthfully. While chatting with Vivian, he was thinking about another thing - what to do after arriving in Chang'an?
"By the way, Jason, do you know where we should go when we get to Chang'an?"

"go……"

Before Jason could speak, Vivian spoke again.

"We can travel around Chang'an like the princess, what do you think?"

"Um,"

I hope so!
God forbid, they get stopped at the airport.

It seemed like God really heard his prayers, and when they passed through customs - there was really no one!

No one paid attention to him, as if he was just an ordinary tourist. He passed the customs inspection easily and entered Chang'an smoothly.

When he and Vivian walked out of the customs channel together, Vivian looked at him curiously and said:
"Can you speak Chinese?"

"Yes."

"Do you come here often?"

“I come here for a while every year.”

"Okay, then you will be my tour guide from now on."
