At noon the next day, the roof apron of the logistics base at the east end of 78th Street.

The Airbus H155 roared from the northern sky and landed steadily on the rooftop tarmac.

After a gust of wind, the H155's propeller speed began to decrease rapidly, and the deafening engine roar gradually became quieter.

When the helicopter engine was turned off and the propeller completely stopped rotating, Ye Tian pushed open the last iron door to the roof, took Betty to the roof, and walked towards the Airbus H155 on the tarmac.

Meanwhile.

The cockpit door of the Airbus H155 was also pushed open, and the old man and his family walked out of it, carrying two boxes!

Because of yesterday's heavy snowfall and the time of Christmas, the road conditions around New York are generally poor, and even the highways are not much better!

Considering this situation, Ye Tian finally decided to let George drive the H155 to Boston to pick up his father-in-law's family, instead of letting them drive to New York, which was likely to be stuck in traffic jams.

That's why they could arrive in New York at this time, otherwise they wouldn't know when!

In a few steps, the two sides converged on the rooftop!

"Good afternoon, Matthew, Evelyn, Merry Christmas, welcome to New York, I hope you enjoy this trip to New York and have a great Christmas!"

Ye Tian stepped forward to say hello, and at the same time took the suitcase in Matthew's hand.

Then, he said hello to Logan behind him.

"Good afternoon, Steven, and Merry Christmas to you, this helicopter is amazing, it's like a luxury business class, it's very comfortable! It's 10,000 times better than driving!"

Matthew first said hello, then said in admiration, clearly satisfied with the air trip.

Evelyn and Logan, too, were amazed by the helicopter behind them.

Of course, it is worth admiring, this is a top-of-the-line business helicopter worth 10 million dollars, which is comparable to your Buick Boulevard!

After chatting a few words, Ye Tian led everyone to the anti-theft iron door in front of him, preparing to go downstairs and go home.

Leaving the logistics base, they did not immediately return home, but went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

By the time they returned to their apartment on 110th Street after lunch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

After resting at home for about half an hour, Logan ran out shopping.

For this kid, the streets of New York during Christmas are obviously more attractive than at home!

The rest of them didn't go there, they all stayed home, and Betty and Evelyn began to prepare for the Christmas dinner in the evening, and they were busy!

Of course, it's mainly Evelyn who is in charge of the cooking, and Betty is in charge of the work!

Ye Tian took Matthew to visit his new collection, and explained to the old man the origin and value of these antique artworks.

Now Matthew, as if he has become a collector, is full of a strong interest in all things antique art!

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, night is falling.

Christmas Eve has arrived.

The Christmas tree in front of the fireplace is lit up in a beautiful and colorful way, and the apartment is full of beautiful Christmas ornaments, giving it a strong Christmas atmosphere.

Towards seven o'clock, a sumptuous Christmas dinner was put on the table.

Just like Thanksgiving, roast turkey is the main course, along with smoked ham, Christmas salmon, Christmas pudding, vegetable salad, creamed polenta and more.

And, of course, the indispensable top-quality French wines add a touch of flavour to the evening.

At a quarter past seven, Logan returned to the apartment.

Everyone has arrived, the Christmas dinner has officially begun, and everyone is sitting around the table.

Meals are preceded by prayer as usual.

Originally, Ye Tian, the male host, was supposed to recite the prayers, but he was not a Christian, so he could only be led by Matthew.

After the prayer, everyone began to enjoy the food, taste the wine, and spend the beautiful day in laughter.

After the dinner was over and cleaned up, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

Everyone went back to the living room and chatted while watching the live NBC TV show.

At this time, the live broadcast was the Christmas celebration held in the Rockefeller Center Plaza, which was very exciting!

At half past ten, the live TV broadcast ended, and it was time to exchange gifts.

Since there are no children in the house yet, there is no need to stuff the gifts into the socks, write the names and wait until Christmas morning to open them!

The first person to take out the gift was naturally Ye Tian, who was the owner.

He got up and walked over to the tree, picked up two beautifully wrapped boxes from the floor, and walked over to Matthew and Evelyn to place them in front of each other.

"Matthew, it's a small sculpture in the form of a man standing and thinking, not Rodin's thinker, of course, but the work of the modern sculptor Antony Gommourer.

Anthony Gommurey is one of the most famous sculptors of today, especially for his body sculptures, most of his works are in the same scale as the real human body, small sculptures are very rare, and they are very collectible.

I stumbled upon this sculpture at the Chelsea Antiques Market in Manhattan, and I bought it so well that I would like it for you to give it to you as a Christmas present today, I hope you will like it!"

Hearing this, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Matthew's face.

"Anthony Grimore, that's the famous British sculptor, right? Two years ago, he had a solo exhibition in Boston, which caused a lot of sensation, and although I didn't go to see it, I heard people talk about it!

His sculptures seem to be worth a lot of money? Each one is said to be in the million-dollar thro, and this Christmas present is too expensive? I can't take it! You might as well take it back!"

As he spoke, he pushed back the box containing the gift, his movements were quite resolute, but his eyes were full of reluctance.

This is the work of a top contemporary artist! No one is willing to change it? Even if you say this refusal, you need to make a lot of determination!

A million-dollar sculpture! And a Christmas present for Matthew!

Evelyn and Logan were both stunned by the price of the sculpture, and they were also shocked by Ye Tian's generosity, which was also too generous!

Betty was very calm, she was used to this kind of thing, and she had long been surprised!

What happened last night at the Plaza Hotel was much more shocking than that!

"That's right, it's him, and he's the only famous sculptor currently known as Anthony Gommoury, whose sculptures are really valuable and very popular in the art market!

But that's for someone else, and for me, it only cost $300 to buy this sculpture! It's not worth it at all, so you just take it and don't think about it!

There is no signature of Anthony Gommourey on this sculpture, and if you are not a person who has studied him very well or is very familiar with him, you should not recognize this sculpture and can safely keep it at home!"

As soon as Ye Tian finished speaking, Betty immediately echoed:

"Dad, Steven is right, you just think it's a $300 Christmas present, don't think about it, just take it"

Matthew wasn't too pretentious, and after a little hesitation, he nodded and accepted this valuable Christmas gift.

Then, he immediately began to unwrap the gift, and at the same time said excitedly:

"Let me admire the work of this master of modern sculpture! But to be honest, let me treat a million-dollar sculpture as a $300 ordinary commodity, I'm afraid I can't do it!"

"Hahaha"

Several people at the scene laughed.

Evelyn and Logan both nodded in agreement, for the vast majority of people are the same, it is impossible to ignore such a huge price gap!

Ye Tian and Betty were also laughing softly, both very relaxed.
