Chapter 507: 450 Freedom Lighthouse (Thanks for the tips, ask for monthly tickets!)

The massive white Boeing aircraft steadily landed on the runway, and after taxiing for a distance, it came to a stop.

The cabin door opened.

Passengers began to exit the aircraft one by one.

"This is still my first time traveling abroad."

"Me, too."

Indeed.

By now, Jiang Chen had already arrived in the beacon of the world, the land of freedom—Meilijian.

Traveling with him was Li Shuru.

Li Shuru’s sister was right here.

Of course.

Although the other party didn’t fuss about the photo incident, as a man, he couldn’t just settle in his heart because she didn’t make a fuss.

It was also a form of compensation.

"Brother Bai, have you been to New York before?"

While walking towards the airport exit, Jiang Chen turned his head and asked.

It was not just a "honeymoon" for a young couple; Bai Haoran was also part of the entourage.

When traveling, it’s always necessary to have people to help out; you can’t just do everything yourself.

"No, I’ve only been to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand before."

Bai Haoran candidly admitted.

Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The three most common destinations for Shenzhou tourists.

For no other reasons than they are close and they save money.

Places like Meilijian, just getting a visa is no simple task for the average person.

"Sis!"

Approaching the arrival gate, the group quickly noticed Xue Yali holding a pick-up sign.

Despite being a rational girl in Jiang Chen’s memory, traveling thousands of miles alone to study abroad, she couldn’t hide her visible excitement at this moment.

Meeting old friends in a foreign land.

One of life’s greatest joys.

And even more so when it’s your own kin.

Li Shuru quickly walked over.

Jiang Chen followed at a leisurely pace.

"You came alone? Where’s your boyfriend?"

"He’s been really busy recently and simply couldn’t get away. He asked me to apologize to you and the others."

"No worries, work is important."

After the sisters exchanged pleasantries, Xue Yali’s gaze shifted to Jiang Chen, and she smiled slightly.

"Brother-in-law, welcome to New York."

Li Shuru was taken aback for a moment. She wasn’t a shy person, but she couldn’t help feeling a bit embarrassed when her sister called her ’brother-in-law’ at that moment.

Comrade Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was quite at ease, "Sorry to interrupt."

The group proceeded to exit.

"Let’s put the luggage in the car."

When they saw Xue Yali’s car, everyone was a bit surprised.

A girl driving a boxy Land Rover Defender, a type of vehicle one would think is more favored by the big dudes of Meilijian.

"Is this your car?"

Li Shuru couldn’t help but ask.

"I couldn’t afford it; it’s Hong Zhi’s."

Xue Yali opened the trunk.

Jiang Chen and Bai Haoran loaded the luggage.

"Let’s get in the car."

Li Shuru sat in the passenger seat.

Jiang Chen and Bai Haoran sat in the back seat.

"Aren’t you guys on break yet? Or are you not planning to go back for the holidays?"

The two sisters chatted about family matters.

Jiang Chen simply looked out the window.

This was indeed his first trip abroad.

As the undisputed number one superpower in the world, in terms of the hustle and bustle, New York wasn’t much more impressive than East Sea. They were both full of similar skyscrapers, not enough to create a huge sense of disparity; however, the distinctive architectural styles and the bustling crowds of white and black people on the streets definitely made one aware that they were in a foreign country.

"Sis, have you booked a hotel yet?"

"Yes, the Peninsula Hotel."

Peninsula Hotel.

One of the most upscale hotels in New York.

Located in Manhattan, New York.

Only ten branches have opened globally over the past century.

One might say it’s the result of a decade’s painstaking efforts.

Favored by the international elite.

Upon hearing that her cousin was staying at the Peninsula, Xue Yali showed no surprise, after all, the financial power of her cousin’s boyfriend could be inferred from that blood diamond, which could have been crafted into various pieces of jewelry worth nearly a hundred million.

"Then I’ll take you to the hotel first to settle your luggage. Cousin, do you need to rest?"

The time difference from Shenzhou to Meilijian is over ten hours.

"I’m fine, how about you?"

Li Shuru looked back.

"I’m okay, I’ve already slept on the plane,"

Jiang Chen replied.

"I’m fine too,"

Bai Haoran quickly added.

A white-gloved doorman wearing a top hat, reminiscent of a movie character, parked the car and pushed open the grand hotel doors.

"Sis, this is my first time at the Peninsula Hotel,"

Xue Yali whispered.

"So frugal?"

Li Shuru teased.

Her sister’s boyfriend is no ordinary man, a pride of Wall Street, and as their aunt mentioned on New Year’s Day, he manages a fund of five hundred billion.

"Staying here for one night might cost me an entire semester’s tuition fee. I can’t bear to do it,"

Xue Yali adjusted the cap she was wearing.

"If you want to stay, I can book another room for you,"

Li Shuru said with a smile.

Xue Yali shook her head.

"No, it’s not worth it."

After settling the luggage, it was just in time for afternoon tea, and the Peninsula Hotel’s afternoon tea, much like its extensive Rolls-Royce fleet used for guest commutes, is world-renowned.

VIP guests staying at the Peninsula Hotel can enjoy the Rolls-Royce pick-up service.

The same holds true.

There is also a widely circulated saying:

If you can’t afford to stay at the Peninsula Hotel, come to have afternoon tea.

There is a Peninsula Hotel in Shenzhou’s Harbor Island which, last century, was extremely popular with the people of Shenzhou, with several celebrities as regulars, earning it a reputation as the "Café of Movie Stars."

"Sis, Hong Zhi has messaged me; he’s finished his work and will be here soon,"

Although their origins were ordinary, both sisters were now well-accustomed to high society. Having afternoon tea at the Peninsula Hotel in Times Square, New York, didn’t make them feel out of place.

"Do you want to go pick him up?"

"No need, Wall Street is quite close by; a cab ride will only take a few minutes,"

Li Shuru nodded.

"Sis, your visit to New York can’t just be for tourism, right? Is there something you need from Hong Zhi?"

"I’m not sure myself; you should ask him,"

Li Shuru looked towards the person chatting with Bai Haoran.

"Sis, you don’t know?"

"He hasn’t told me. Aren’t you calling him brother-in-law? There’s no need to be so polite; just ask him directly,"

Xue Yali smiled innocently.

"Your hat looks pretty good."

Out of the blue, Jiang Chen took the initiative to look over,

Xue Yali was momentarily startled, and instinctively reached up to touch her cap, "This one?"

Observing the "K.E" logo embroidered on the cap, Jiang Chen nodded.

"Is this brand popular overseas?"

Though it was somewhat unexpected, Xue Yali still replied, "Yes, young people abroad really like it. Its ready-to-wear clothes are too expensive for me, I just like their hats."

"How much is your hat?"

Li Shuru casually asked.

"About 500 US dollars,"

"That expensive?"

Li Shuru was slightly surprised.

US dollars, that’s equivalent to three to four thousand RMB.

For a simple cap?

You should know, even Hermès has a similar price.

And this brand, she hadn’t really heard of it.

"Sis, it’s indeed quite rare in our country, but it is also considered a luxury brand. The show that Pei Yunxi was criticized for recently was sponsored by this brand,"

Xue Yali explained with a laugh, taking off her cap as she spoke.

"Sis, try it on,"
