Chapter 94 Dinner
In a mansion in Sacramento, the "Second Port of California", two men in suits are teasing their dogs boredly.

The lively husky looked extremely docile under someone's black bear-like body, trembling and letting the two toss.

"Aww, I hope this is the last time I button up a suit this year before winning a championship."

O'Neal tugged on the tie around his neck. The custom-made suit worth tens of thousands of dollars did not bring him much comfort just because it was expensive. The feeling of being restricted everywhere made him feel very uncomfortable when he was used to running naked in Miami mansions. uneasy.

Mo Wen, who was leaning on the back of the chair, rolled his eyes, it was you who wanted to join in the fun.

This family dinner was earned by Mo Wen and Schwarzenegger's bet that the Pistons would win the Lakers. O'Neal, who was the core of the former Lakers, even came over to eat with a straight face.

It really echoes the old saying: A tree without bark is sure to die, a person without shame is invincible.

"Gentlemen, the dinner is ready, you can come and eat."

An old woman with a wide body, a fat body and a big butt came to the two of them, bowed slightly and said.

Mo Wen and Ao Pang nodded and got up, letting go of the poor Xiugou, got up and walked to the bathroom.

"What are you looking at? Could it be that your taste is so unique?"

Noticing Mo Wen's sweeping eyes, Ao Pang said with a little surprise and disdain.

"Hehe, I'm just thinking again. Mr. Governor's family is not short of money, why don't you hire a more beautiful nanny."

"Oh, this kind of thing, you will understand when you get married. This is how women choose nanny." Ao Pang shook his head helplessly.

Thinking of those horror stories about marriage in his previous life, Mo Wen also shook his head.

Schwarzenegger in front of him is actually an example. If he remembers correctly, the fat nanny just now will reveal another layer of hidden identity in the future——Schwarzenegger's mistress.

Well, yes, the taste of T800 is so unique.

Schwarzenegger's wife was also a beauty when she was young. Now she is old and not so beautiful, but she is still in the category of normal people. Mo Wen has never been married, so she really can't understand the aesthetics of married men.

Catherine, who was "protected" by Schwarzenegger, finally appeared at dinner.

American girls are generally precocious, and they usually look like adults at the age of thirteen or fourteen. The 17-year-old Catherine put on some light makeup today, and her decent white dress could not conceal her good figure. Sitting next to Mo Wen, the two of them looked like There is no sense of disobedience as a couple.

Although the two chatted too much on the Internet, they did not dare to have too many intimate actions under the watchful eyes of the Schwarzeneggers.

"Where's my birthday present?" Catherine tugged at Mo Wen's sleeve and asked
"Didn't I give it to you that night? Didn't you receive it?" Mo Wen said pointedly. Catherine's birthday is December 12, which happened to be the day he scored 13 points.

"That doesn't count! Don't try to fool me." The little girl pouted and said.

"Then I'll tell you another story. Don't you like listening to stories?" Mo Wen continued with his lips curled up.

"I don't want a story, I want a gift! You promised me!" Catherine put on a "I'm super fierce" expression, pouted her mouth and hugged her chest, and looked at Mo Wen aggressively.

Seeing that Catherine was really in a hurry, Mo Wen stopped teasing her and pointed to a cabinet next to the Christmas tree in the front hall, on which were placed many gifts he brought for members of Catherine's family.

Most of them are worthless small things. Schwarzenegger is currently the governor, and there are strict regulations on gifts. Mo Wen only bought them after communicating with him first.

Mo Wen’s gift to Catherine was the most precious, his out-of-print No. 66 jersey signed by the Pistons’ championship team and a copy of Harry Potter signed by Rowling and the trio that he asked Human to help him get. original.

In terms of physical value, these two items are not worth much, but the collection value is hard to say.

After unwrapping the gift, Catherine was very surprised. She rushed over with the book signed by Rowling and naturally gave Mo Wen a big hug.

"Thank you, idiot"

Only then did Mo Wen understand what the little girl meant by asking him for gifts all the time.

Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Mo Wen was stunned for a moment.

Mom, I seem to be in love.

"Cough cough!"

It wasn't until Schwarzenegger coughed heavily twice that the two of them managed to separate.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward, but fortunately O'Neill also followed. As a member of the later TNT sky group, he has lived in Los Angeles for 8 years and will never lack topics to chat.

Mo Wen has not been obsessed with beauty for too long. As a time traveler, his professional knowledge may not be that rich, but he is bragging that he is first-class.

From the sports circle to the entertainment circle, from the entertainment circle to financial technology.

With O'Neill sitting next to him, the laughter at the dinner table never stopped.

Of course, when talking and laughing, Mowen Catherine also had to interact, either by making eye contact or whispering a few whispers.

The actions of the two made O'Neill's eyelids twitch as he tried his best to warm up the field.

In the past, O'Neill felt that he was very courageous, and Kobe who dared to date underage girls was even more courageous, but when he saw Mo Wen in front of him, he found that he still lacked a little imagination.

Ran to the governor's house, in front of the governor, and the governor's underage daughter.

What a magical plot.

Although Schwarzenegger was chatting and laughing with them at the dinner table, Ao Pang could still feel the flash of murderous intent when he looked at Mo Wen.

He was really afraid that Schwarzenegger would drop the wine glass, and then a bunch of bodyguards would run out from all directions and chop them up.

"You really don't think about coming to California to play in the future? Now the four teams in California are not very good. With your strength, you will definitely become the core. Our California is not Texas. Our fans are much more friendly and tolerant."

Schwarzenegger initiated the invitation again, and glanced at Catherine as if hinting at Mo Wen.

Mo Wen felt that Schwarzenegger must have some kind of conspiracy, but as a politician and actor, Schwarzenegger's acting skills are absolutely full, and he didn't show any special expression.

It's no secret that he has a chance to become a free agent in two years.

The "Arenas Clause" proposed by the league now has no effect on him because he terminated the child labor contract early.

Which team to go to at that time depends entirely on his mood and the salary given by the other party.

"Hey, you can't do this to Arnold, Mo is an important member of us, and we have to build a dynasty in the Heat."

O'Neill next to him hugged Mo Wen, and said to Schwarzenegger dissatisfied.

"I don't think this violates the rules. According to NBA regulations, other teams are not allowed to contact players privately, but I am not representing the team, I am representing California."

Schwarzenegger said indifferently, his eyes still stayed on Mo Wen.

Catherine is in her third year of high school this year (four years of high school in the United States), and she will graduate and go to college in one and a half years. At that time, Mo Wen's contract will also end. He will recruit Mo Wen and send Catherine to a city in the east or north , can perfectly make the two people stagger.

You can't blame Schwarzenegger for not liking Mo Wen. He also came out of Hollywood and knows how chaotic the American style circle is.

Mo Wen has no scandals at present, but he does not believe that Mo Wen is clean in private or in the future.

"It's too early to say this, and Shaq is here. If I dare to say it, I will have to take a taxi back tonight by myself."

The happy time is always short, and after taking a group photo at the end, it is finally time to say goodbye.

"Here you are, this is your Christmas present, you can unwrap it when you go back, don't think it's ugly."

Before leaving, under everyone's attention, Catherine blushed and handed a beautifully wrapped gift box to Mo Wen.

Feeling the weight, Mo Wen probably knew what it was, and restrained some not-so-"punitive" impulses, he just gently touched the girl's head. His eyes left the governor's mansion.

"Why do you have gifts and I don't?"

Ao Pang, who was squeezed in the back row, complained a little dissatisfied with his childish temper.

"Huh? Didn't T800 give you two bottles of dry red as a gift?"

"I mean the last one Miss Catherine gave you."

"A girl knits a sweater by herself. If she dares to give it to you, do you dare to take it?" Mo Wen sneered.

"Well, and I guess you have worn the sweater knitted by your mother. After all, you have to be much better than others for such a huge scarf."

"Fake Squid, you damn bastard, I'm going to kill you!" Ao Fat covered his face and pretended to be devastated, and made a big move towards Mo Wen.

······
At night Catherine's brother Patrick poked his head into the rooms of his two sisters.

"Sister Catherine, can I exchange the gift for tonight with you? Mo gave me an iPod, but I already have the same one."

"I remember you don't have the habit of collecting jerseys, can you..."

Before Patrick finished speaking, the always gentle Catherine coldly interrupted what he wanted to say.

"No, get out!"
