Chapter 71 The New Maid Lana

Originally, the loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in the away game made Xu Nuo feel very uncomfortable, but what Xu Nuo did not expect was that when he returned to his home in Indianapolis, there would be even more uncomfortable feelings for him. Things are waiting for him.

Although they promised that they would rush back to Indianapolis overnight by the team's special plane as soon as possible after the game, but when the promise set foot on the land of Indianapolis again, it was almost three o'clock in the morning.Since their next game against the Boston Celtics is a back-to-back game, it is promised that they will rush back to their home to rest as soon as they get off the plane. They must maintain good physical strength and condition.

Before returning to Indianapolis, Xu Nuo had told his parents that he would be home at this time, so when Xu Nuo returned to his home on the Ohio River, he saw the lights were still on in the house, It seems that Mom, Dad and the maid Jennifer didn't go to sleep, but were waiting for themselves.However, when Xu Nuo opened the iron gate and walked into the small courtyard, Xu Nuo immediately felt the feeling in his heart that was more uncomfortable than losing to the Thunder.

Because Xu Nuo discovered that it was not the maid Jennifer he was familiar with who came to greet him when he walked out of the room, but a different person, another girl.

"The young master came back so late, he must be exhausted, go take a bath and have a good rest." The new maid took the backpack on Xu Nuo's shoulder and said to Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo glanced at the new maid beside him, and walked straight into the house without saying a word.In the living room, Xu Nuo's parents were all sitting on the sofa waiting for Xu Nuo, and when Xu Nuo walked into the house, they all stood up from the sofa.

Although Xu Nuo had seen such a scene before, but for some reason, Xu Nuo always felt that something was wrong. Xu Nuo didn't know if this "not right" was caused by changing the maid.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back." Xu Nuo said sleepily.

"It's so late," said mother, "go take a bath and go to bed."

"I see," Xu Nuo said with a frown, "Mom and Dad, although I told you that I would come back at this time, I didn't tell you to stay up late and wait for me. Staying up late is not good for your health. Go and rest." Just leave the door open for me."

Mom and Dad looked at each other, and Mom said, "We are worried about you, we came back so late..."

"I'll be fine," Xu Nuo said with a smile, but Xu Nuo felt more sleepy with this smile, "George Hill sent me here, what can I do?"

Mom laughed, "It's good that it's okay, it's getting late, you go take a bath and rest, let's go to bed first." Mom said.

Xu Nuo nodded, but he didn't go to the bathroom to take a shower, nor did he pay attention to the new maid next to him.Instead, he went straight to his room, and without changing into pajamas, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Xu Nuo woke up very early. Although Xu Xu only slept for about three hours at night, Xu Nuo did not feel very sleepy, but was very energetic.When Xu Nuo got up and came to the balcony of his room, Xu Nuo still thought that Jennifer would come into the room to help him clean up the room as before, and chat a few more words by the way.But when the new maid walked into the room, Xu Nuo remembered that Jennifer was gone now.

"Master, it's best to go for a run after you wake up. It's good to exercise more." The maid said to Xu Nuo.

In fact, when Xu Nuo was still in China, Xu Nuo was used to running along the beach after getting up in the morning, but he changed his habit after arriving in the United States. It’s not that Xu Nuo doesn’t like running anymore, but Xu Nuo feels that sitting on the balcony and watching the scenery is better than running. Much more pleasant.After the maid finished speaking, Xu Nuo didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.

When the maid finished cleaning up the room and was about to leave, Xu Nuo asked, "Can you tell me your name?"

Xu Nuo asked the maid of course. At first, the maid seemed shocked when she heard Xu Nuo speak to her, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Master, you can call me Lana, that's what all my friends call me." Yes. Breakfast is ready, young master, you can go downstairs to eat at any time."

Xu Nuo nodded, and after the new maid Lana left the room, she also got up and went downstairs.When Xu Nuo came to the dining table, Mom and Dad were already sitting there, looking very tired.Taking advantage of the maid Lana's absence, Xu Nuo whispered to her parents, "Why did we change the maid? Where did Jennifer go?"

Mom sighed and said, "She's gone."

"Going away?" Xu Nuo frowned.

Dad nodded, "The day after you left home to play away, she quit her job and left our house." Dad said.

"Why?" Xu Nuo asked, frowning.

"It seems that her father asked her to be a reporter. She seems to have learned the profession of journalism." Dad said.

Xu Nuo nodded. Of course, Jennifer is a journalist. Xu Nuo heard Jennifer tell herself about this.

"What a good boy!" Mom said with a sigh.

Xu Nuo frowned, "It sounds like you're dead when you hear this," Xu Nuo said, "So Jennifer won't come back to our house again?"

Mom nodded, "That's true." Mom said.

Promised "Oh", he lowered his head and continued to eat his own breakfast.

Living in the United States for a long time, Xu Nuo can now taste the quality of those Western food. Xu Nuo feels that although the breakfast made by the new maid Lana is not as delicious as Jennifer's, the taste is not bad.But Xu Nuo still misses the steak made by Jennifer even more. Xu Nuo doesn't know how skillful the new maid Lana is when she cooks the steak.

When Promise was about to finish his breakfast, Dad spoke.

"Watching TV recently, I found that many people are talking about you." Dad said to Xu Nuo.

Xu Nuo frowned, he knew that what Dad was talking about was Charles Barkley talking bad about him.

"Well, that's true." Xu Nuo said while spreading butter on his last piece of bread.

"I suppose you know a little better than we do, what the hell are they talking about about you?" Pa asked next.

"It's actually very simple." Xu Nuo said, taking a bite of the bread.

"What is it?" Dad asked eagerly.

Xu Nuo put down the bread in his hand, he knew that his father would not let it go without asking, "Isn't it just that Charles Barkley said that I won't get [-] points in this season's games." Xu Nuo said .

"Charles Barkley?" Pa said. "Who's Charles Barkley?"

"A basketball commentator," Xu Nuo said, picking up the unfinished bread again, "probably works for ESPN."

"Why are they talking about you all of a sudden?" Dad continued.

"It's people's job to comment on basketball," Xu Nuo said, "There's nothing strange about that."

"When you're talking about basketball, you're talking about basketball, why are you talking about how you never get twenty points in a game?" Dad asked.

"Charles Barkley is that kind of guy," Promise said. "He likes to joke like that, and let's say he's joking, but he's saying it to get the public's attention."

"You're not the only player in the NBA, so how can you be mentioned?" Dad continued.

"Because I am a rookie player, Charles Barkley likes to make jokes about rookie players, for example, he bet that Yao Ming would not score [-] points in the game." Xu Nuo said, standing up and getting ready to wash your hands.At this time, Lana ran out of the kitchen and poured water for Xu Nuo.

"You'd better deal with such things carefully, and don't let those journalists catch you." Dad said.

"I know, don't worry, I know how I should deal with those reporters." Xu Nuo said impatiently, ready to change clothes after washing his hands.

At this moment, a doorbell rang from the iron gate outside the house. Xu Nuo opened the door and saw George Hill standing outside the yard.

"Promise, are you ready?" George Hill asked after seeing the promise, "Let's go as soon as we are ready. You know that Coach Larry Brown doesn't like players being late."

"I see, you wait for a while." Xu Nuo said, while going upstairs to change clothes in his room, he asked Lana to open the door to let George Hill in.

Promise quickly changed clothes, and set off with George Hill to their home arena Conseco Arena to participate in team training.On the way, George Hill asked Xu Xu: "It seems that your maid has changed."

"You can see that too?" Xu Nuo said.

"It's obvious at a glance," said George Hill. "Where's the old maid?"

"I left for a special reason." Xu Nuo said, and George Hill laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Nuo asked, frowning.

"Nothing," said George Hill, and stopped laughing. "Honestly, man, what do you think of your new maid?" he asked.

"Not bad." Xu Nuo said.

"It's all right," repeated George Hill. "The little girl is all right, but you've got to be careful."

"Watch out for what?" Xu Nuo asked.

"Be careful that she will take a fancy to your money. Who knows why she came to your house as a maid? Maybe she is looking for an opportunity to get close to you." George Hill said.

"I don't think it's like this. If you want to get close to me, you don't have to come to my house to be a maid." Xu Nuo said with a frown.

"Who knows?" said George Hill. "Be careful anyway."

Xu Nuo stopped talking, but looked at the scenery on both sides of the road outside the car window, lost in thought.
