Two generations of the Smith family met in the middle of the South Lawn.

"How about it, my dear mother. How do you think this house compares to our Smith Manor?" Abel said with a smile.

Emily had a smile on her face, "To be honest, I'm a little disappointed. I can't go to many places. It's too serious and I don't like it."

Little Laura chuckled beside her and said: "This place is like this. When I lived here when I was a child, the only place I could play was outside!"

Emily couldn't help but look at little Laura next to her, who was about the same height as her, and the latter smiled sweetly at her.

Emily actually liked Charlize more in her heart.

After all, they were together day and night, and Charlize had Abel's child, and her belly was getting bigger and bigger.

Emily accompanied her for check-ups every time.

Through various examination methods, watching the child in her belly getting bigger and bigger, Emily also felt a sense of participation in watching her grandson grow up.

As much as she loves the house and the bird, she also likes Charlize more.

Little Laura actually only met her for the third time today.

The first time was at a family gathering after Christmas last year.

At that time, little Laura had not yet confirmed their relationship, and the two parties were in the "blind date stage".

The second time, little Laura took the initiative to come to the door. Emily was very nervous at that time, worried that little Laura would start an attack to accuse her.

Because little Laura had already been to Charlize's place at that time.

But Emily didn't expect that little Laura was very gentle and didn't mention anything about Charlize. Instead, she took the initiative to please Emily in various ways, which surprised Emily.

Emily couldn't help but feel a fondness for little Laura.

Today is the third time Emily has seen little Laura. Little Laura has always been enthusiastic and proactive in taking her with her, which makes Emily like her even more.

In addition, little Laura will obviously be her son's wife. At this moment, Emily actually doesn't know whether she likes Charlize more or little Laura more.

Abel's mother became entangled in her heart.

Naturally, Abel didn't know this. He asked his parents and little Laura to leave the South Lawn because the reception was about to begin.

Later, George's deputy Cheney and his wife will be responsible for welcoming the guests outside.

Mr. and Mrs. George entertained guests directly here.

If they are also guests, if it is just Abel and little Laura, they can just stay here.

But there are still Alexander and his wife, so it is best to walk through the main entrance, so that you can get to know more people.

Abel didn't need it, but Alexander, who was destined to take this road, needed it very much.

Under the familiar guidance of little Laura, the four of them came to the main road outside the reception.

While the guests in front were talking to Mr. and Mrs. Cheney.

Abel, his parents and his girlfriend jumped in the queue and walked towards the main entrance of the reception.

Coincidentally, the guest behind Abel was Buffett, one of his old acquaintances and friends.

Buffett called twice from behind. Abel turned around and saw that it was Buffett.

"Oh, Warren is here." Abel said, "Let's wait for him."

Alexander also saw the stock god behind him, and he also stopped with Emily.

"Hey, why did you and Miss Bush come out from the side? Oh, this is"

Buffett brought a woman about his age, who should be his wife.

As a side note, Buffett has two wives - his ex-wife and his current wife.

The problem is that after Warren divorced his ex-wife, his ex-wife never left her.

He later married another wife.

Buffett’s first wife is named Susan, and his second wife is Susan’s best friend!

What’s even more amazing is that the three of them lived together from beginning to end!

Abel felt that this might be the reason why he and Buffett could get along well.

Because Warren is as philanthropic as he is.

It's just that Warren's body is an ordinary person's body, and there can only be two at most.

It’s not like you have a cap of twenty-five at a time!

Thinking like this, Abel didn't know whether this was Susan. He smiled and introduced his family to Buffett——

"This is my father, Alexander Smith."

"This is my mother, Emily Koch Smith."

"This is Miss Laura Bush."

Warren Buffett smiled, hugged Alexander, and shook hands with Emily and little Laura.

Abel also smiled and hugged the old woman who didn't know if she was Susan.

Because he didn't know his identity, he was still waiting for Buffett to introduce him.

"Astrid Monks Buffett." Buffett introduced his wife with a smile, "my wife."

Oh, that’s not the ex-wife Susan, but the current wife and second wife.

There were new guests coming from behind, and Abel suggested going inside first.

It’s better not to be stuck in traffic and affect other customers.

Naturally, Buffett would not refuse, so the six of them walked inside together.

When they walked to the entrance of the main reception hall, George's deputy, Vice Commander Cheney, smiled and greeted them.

Whether it's Buffett or Abel, Cheney knows them all.

What's more, there is also Laura Bush among them.

After another brief greeting, there were guests coming later, so Abel and others went in first.

Entering the door is a large living room.

There were many people in the living room. The back door of the living room was wide open, and outside the door was the South Lawn.

There were already many people coming, and Abel saw a few familiar people in the living room and front hall.

Like Paulson of Goldman Sachs, Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers—

That's right, the main guests of this cocktail party tonight are the people at the meeting held by Paul Henry O'Neill that day.

In other words, the guests invited by the White House today are mainly "friends" from the American financial community.

Of course, a gathering of this level.

Of course, serious guests are also indispensable. Everyone knows the importance of Wall Street and finance in this country.

With so many important financial figures gathered, who would refuse to participate as long as those members of Congress have time and can come in?

Therefore, the number of guests tonight, including the female companions brought here, may exceed four to five hundred.

Even the white house does not have such a large indoor banquet hall that can accommodate so many people.

Fortunately, the South Lawn is large enough. Together with the front hall, the South Lawn can accommodate approximately six to seven hundred guests.

In addition, it is a buffet style, so it can be completely entertained.

Abel, with his parents and little Laura, accompanied by Buffett and his wife, naturally attracted more attention.

Like Paulson, he was the first to come over and say hello.

Don't reach out to hit the smiling person, not to mention that the Smith family really wants to move up. It is always better to have more friends than to have fewer enemies.

Abel made another introduction, and someone else came later. He was a little annoyed, so he took the initiative.

He took his parents around and got to know everyone he met.

At the end of the day, Alexander, Abel's father, has gained a lot of reputation on Wall Street and is finally no longer an unknown person in this country.

At least when others introduce Alexander Smith in the future, they will say - "Oh, this is Abel Smith's father."

We walked around like this for half an hour.

The Buffetts have long since left to find their own circle.

So in the end, only little Laura and Abel were left, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Alexander.

As time goes by, more and more guests come.

Finally, around seven o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. George appeared.
Chapter completed!
