Marvel Plane Trader Chapter 16

  Chapter 16 Neighbors

   "Josie, have you been waiting for a long time?" At about 1:00 in the afternoon, a brand new car stopped in front of Josie, and immediately Margot got out of the car and gave Josie a warm hug.

   "No, it's my honor to wait for the most beautiful lady in the world!" Josie complimented.

   "Oh Josie, you are too good at talking." Hearing Josie's compliment, Margot burst into a smile, and then pointed to the driveway, "This is the car I prepared for you. How about it? Do you like it?"

   "It's a little ostentatious, but it's very beautiful, I like it very much!" Josie looked at the car and raised his eyebrows.

  There is no doubt that Margot, a rich woman, will not be something simple if she makes a move.

  Although the car in front of me was inferior to the Cadillac V16, it was no worse than Margot's own Packard.

   This is a 1942 Lincoln Continental, the last car sold by Lincoln before the United States entered the war.

  Although the first-generation 1939 European style arch wheel line was lost due to the facelift, it is more in line with Josie's senses.

  The only shortcoming is that, as Josie said, it is too ostentatious.

   Well, it's not the car model that makes the publicity, but the color… This car is wine red.

   "Young people, you should be more active and lively. You are acting too mature." Margot said nonchalantly, "Come on, get in the car, and drive yourself!"

When I went to see the house yesterday, Josie said that she could drive, but Margot didn't quite believe it. After letting Josie try it, Margot realized that Josie's driving skills were better than hers, so she wasn't worried about Josie. West will not open.

  While speaking, Margot also reached out to get the suitcase beside Josie.

  Josie has two suitcases beside her, one big and one small.

  The big one is the classic 28-inch leather suitcase of this era.

  The other is a suitcase that looks only seven or eight inches long.

  Margot didn't go overboard to get the big suitcase, because it looked heavy.

  So she decided to mention the little one.

  Then just mentioning it, she almost fell down.

   Fortunately, Josie had quick eyesight and quick hands, so she directly supported her.

  My fellow, if he slowed down, it would be a trivial matter for Margot to fall, but if the box was broken and the contents fell out, it would be a big deal for Coke.

   "What's in this box? Why is it so heavy?" Margot, who almost fell down, said in shock.

  It is said to be heavy, but in fact it is only about 30 catties, which is not so heavy that she can't lift it.

   It's just that the actual weight exceeded her estimate, and she almost fell due to excessive force.

   "It's not convenient here. You'll know when you get to Evanston." Josie said mysteriously, and then put the small box on the car.

   "Wow, I'm looking forward to it." Seeing Josie's appearance, Margot couldn't help but become more curious.

  There was no delay on the road, and Josie drove the car and arrived at the Evanston house in no time.

  This time, the middle-aged man next door was not watering the flowers, but was drinking afternoon tea with his wife in the yard, enjoying the warm sunshine in late winter.

   "Tommy, are they new here? It seems that we will have neighbors in the future." Yesterday, the middle-aged wife was not there, but seeing a young man and woman coming today, I couldn't help being a little curious.

"No, we've always had a neighbor, it's that girl, but she doesn't live here, it just looks like our neighbor in the future will become that boy." The middle-aged man named Tommy said .

  After Josie and Margot came here yesterday, he inquired a little bit, only to find out that the house next door has always been owned by a young rich girl.

  So Tommy immediately thought of Margot.

   "Then do you think we should invite them over for coffee, after all, we will be neighbors in the future." Tommy's wife couldn't help but said.

   "Hehe, don't bother the young man. Seeing that boy with a salute, it is obvious that he officially moved here today. Maybe the two of them are making trouble now." Tommy joked with a smile.

   "Eh, you're right." Hearing Tommy's words, his wife was slightly taken aback, although she nodded.

  In the Xia Kingdom of this era, people would definitely be gossip about what happened during the day, but in Europe and America, this is a normal thing.

  When she and Tommy were young, they did all the more absurd things.

  Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little hot.

   "What's the matter, Sarah?" Tommy couldn't help being interested when he noticed his wife's strangeness. He put his hand on his wife's lap and asked pretending not to know.

  Although he can be called an old couple, in fact, in the past five years, for four years, he was separated from his family.

   That is, before moving here last year, he was reunited with his family.

   It is said that Xiaobie is better than a newlywed. After four years of separation, the relationship between him and his wife is even stronger.

   What's more, both of them are still young. Tommy is in his early 40s, and his wife is just 40, and they are both relatively vigorous.

   "Go, go, don't make trouble, you have to pick up the child later." Sensing the husband's dishonesty, the wife rolled her eyes and knocked off his hand.

  American students leave school very early. Even in the 21st century, the general end of school is only around three o'clock in the afternoon.

  In the 1940s, schoolwork was far less arduous than in later generations, and the school dismissal time was basically the same, or even earlier.

  So it's past two o'clock, and it's really not the time to get bored.

  Knowing this, Tommy could only withdraw his hand resentfully.

  At the same time, in the house next door, Josie and Margot were not in the ups and downs as Tommy and his wife had guessed.

  After all, the two have only known each other for two days. Although Margot has a good impression of Josie, she is not so flirtatious as to push Josie back so quickly, and she still has a little ladylike reserve in her heart.

  Even if it wasn't for the fact that her husband changed his hospitality after marriage, stayed away from home all the year round, and spent his days and nights outside, Margot might not have been tempted by Josie... This is what Margot didn't tell Josie.

   That was the fact that Margot had already discovered that her husband, relying on his star athlete's name, had more than one lover outside, and they used her money.

  Margot's state at this time is actually a bit similar to Ruth in the Titanic, eager to escape from the cage of her original life.

   It's just that Margot is better than Ruth in that Margot's husband cheated first, but Ruth got engaged to the steel magnate Carl and flirted with Jack in the blink of an eye.

  On the other hand, Ruth is just the daughter of a bankrupt nobleman, and although Margot is not a nobleman, she is the one who has the initiative when it comes to property issues.

The marriage laws of this era are not as sound as they will be in the future, and the family property comes from Margot's inherited property. If Margot makes a fuss about her husband's derailment, once divorced, Margot's Tennis player husband, don't even think about getting a penny.

   Similarly, Josie is not Jack.

  Jack is a serious poor man. He even won a bilge ticket by playing cards.

   And Josie is not poor.

  For example, now, when Josie opened the small box, the gold bars with a total weight of 500 ounces and nearly 15 kilograms were revealed inside, which directly caused Margot's head to stop for a while.

   Of course, it's not that Margot has never seen money. After all, 500 ounces of gold, even according to the black market price, is only more than 20,000 US dollars. Margot's wealth is hundreds of times that amount.

   It's just that Josie said that she was rich before, and she thought it was the other party's self-esteem.

   Unexpectedly, there is really a lot of money.
