"Well, she's exaggerating. Liang Dong stopped the knife and fork in his hand and said helplessly: "That house is not that small. ”

"It was a studio. Christine unceremoniously demolished Liang Dong's platform, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two that she wanted to move.

"And where do your daughters sleep?" said Selettes, again possibly embarrassing the Muldens.

"She slept in a room with our son. Christine shrugged helplessly.

"I think James was eight years old. Seletus turned his head to look at Liang Dong and said in a deep voice, "I'm blushing for you, Terry, why are you still living?" Listen to Vince, you've been doing a good job lately. ”

"Overtime does help, but the effect is limited after all!" Liang Dong said and glanced at Vince, he didn't know what Vince said.

Celetes said meaningfully, "Please, I'm not talking about the money earned from overtime. I know you've been ...... lately."

"Hey!" Vince interrupted his wife, some of which she couldn't just say. He looked at Christine and asked, "Speaking of kids, Christine, they should be taller by now, right?

Christine shook her hand and said with a smile: "They are very ordinary, very typical American children." Fascinated by their recently deceased aunt, he was killed in front of a bar. The bar is just a few blocks away from our luxury apartment without elevator. ”

Christine's chuckle made Liang Dong smile helplessly. Seletus was even more surprised and said, "Don't you even have an elevator?"

"yes, but luckily we were on the top floor. Christine and Seletus were talking more and more.

Liang Dong smiled a little helplessly, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said, "By the way, this is the first time I've heard her complain about our apartment. I mean, baby, after all these years, I thought you liked it. ”

"I do like it. Christine gritted her teeth and touched her glasses with Liang Dong, her eyes full of sinister sparks.

"You two should come to Carol Gardens and see where we live. Seletus couldn't help but say again, "Since Vince can't afford to buy a house there, I think you can't afford it too." ”

Vince Latuci frowned at his wife and Christine, who heard all this, and Christine looked at Liang Dong with deep meaning in her eyes.

Fortunately, at this time, the waiter brought a new dish, which diverted everyone's attention, so they did not continue on this topic.

After dinner, Vince turned to look at Liang Dong in a low voice, smoking a cigar while chatting, "How's the investigation of Mr. Obannon about that?"

"One of our purpose witnesses happened to be gone, and the other, as you must have heard, was shot three times in the stomach, so that's it. ”

Vince smiled and said, "That's why they wonder why this city is called Escape City?"

"yes. Liang Dong nodded and said with a smile: "I hope so, maybe my uncle-in-law saw a loan shark in Los Angeles, and they sent someone to kill him." As for the prostitute, who knows, maybe she was a spy and the Russians assassinated her. ”

"Hehe!" Hearing Liang Dong's nonsense, Vince also laughed.

After speaking, Liang Dong's face sank: "Because if these are really what I guessed, then we don't need to look at this troubled water again." ”

"So, you think it might be Paton's hands?" Vince somewhat understood what Liang Dong meant.

"I'm worried that's the case. Liang Dong nodded and sighed. said: "So for the time being, I still stick to the theory of Russian spies and loan sharks in Los Angeles!"

"If you're a Nazi, this case can be closed. Vince quipped, and after saying that, the two of them turned to look at their respective wives at the same time, and the two of them also chatted at this time.

"Do you know what I told my mom Vince when she proposed?" the corners of Seletus's mouth curled slightly.

"She can't believe you're so lucky. Liang Dong took a puff of his cigar and said with a smile.

"Come on!" said Seletus angrily, "she said, 'This dream is shattered.'" ”

"What does that mean?" Christine looked at Seletus with some confusion, and it was clear that there was some story in it.

"She's saying that the dream of 'I can one day have a different life now' is shattered. Seletus laughed to himself and said, "I'm married to a civil servant, and he'll only earn that little money forever." ”

"Alright, it's going to be on again, everyone, get ready. Vince suddenly interjected, and the pair began to choke again!

"Then I will only live in a small house in the wooded area for the rest of my life, the same one I grew up in. Seletus looked up, looked at her husband, and said, "And my mom's dream that her daughter would one day live on Fifth Avenue was shattered. ”

"She'll talk a lot about the tragic story of 'How I ruined her Fifth Avenue dream,' and be prepared, Kristen. Vince Latuci's tone was full of resentment.

Celetes turned around, stared at Vince Latuci and said, "It's true, if I hadn't met you, it's entirely possible to live in a building on this street overlooking Central Park and the janitor. ”

"How could you have met someone who lives on Fifth Avenue in the first place?" Vince Latucci said mercilessly, "and what the hell do you think they can fall in love with you and let you live in a penthouse?" ”

Seletus' eyes widened, and he glared at Vince without fear and said, "Twenty years ago, the old lady could have any kind of man she wanted. ”

"Of course, I don't deny that. Vince frowned and said coldly: "You were going to be the object of a dewy relationship, maybe you were really beautiful enough, then if you really thought that those white Protestants would take you to Southampton Villa to meet their parents or some social master, or some millionaire would put a ring on you, then you were definitely deluding yourself." No offense, dear, but that's never possible. ”

"Maybe not a millionaire, I could have married a lawyer or a doctor or a businessman. "Seletus showed no signs of weakness.

"It's more likely to be a plumber, or a truck driver, or even a head shaving. Vince Latuci said with a look of hatred: "Can you once in your life be proud of marrying a policeman's son." At least what we're doing is really meaningful. ”

"Excuse me?" said Celetes with a cold scoff, "Catch prostitutes and take bribes from gamblers?"

"I've had enough, let's settle the bill, okay?" Vince took a deep breath and beckoned to the waiter not far away.

Christine only stared at the sidelines, she didn't expect that in such a public place, Vince Latuci and his wife Seletus would quarrel, which was really eye-opening. Subconsciously, Christine looked at her husband, who was also looking at her.
