Xiao Bing agreed to Caroline's request and asked her to go home first. He would go to the birthday party as her boyfriend the day after tomorrow.
During these two days, Xiao Bing certainly had to prepare a gift. He could not visit his future father-in-law and mother-in-law empty-handed. Of course, this time Xiao Bing would pretend to be Caroline's boyfriend.
Anyway, that was what Xiao Bing told Caroline. In fact, after Xiao Bing went back at night, he talked on the phone with Yezi and Liu Kexin for two hours. It was already midnight when he went to bed. The next day, Xiao Bing did not get up until noon. After having lunch, he went back to his room and began to lie down. Then another day passed in a daze. During these two days, Xiao Bing did not even leave the hotel, let alone go out to buy gifts. He had his meals in the hotel restaurant.
However, Xiao Bing's injury healed very quickly. According to Xiao Bing's estimation, as long as he did not do strenuous exercise in two or three days, his right arm would be fine. After another half a month, as long as he did not fight with others, his right arm would basically be fine.
But for the time being, he still had to wear a bandage.
On the day of Caroline's birthday, Xiao Bing felt that it was almost time, so he dressed up and left the hotel.
As soon as he walked out of the room and arrived at the hotel lobby, he saw two Americans greeting him respectfully. They raised a scroll in their hands and said to Xiao Bing respectfully, "Mr. Dragon, our master asked us to bring you this scroll. At the same time, he wants to tell you that if you encounter any trouble in the United States, you can go to Mr. Caron Gambino. Just tell him that Pengelly, the godfather of the Italian Mafia, asked you to find him."
"Oh." Xiao Bing took the scroll without hesitation and asked, "Who is that Gambino?"
The two people said respectfully, "Mr. Gambino is a very powerful man in the United States. He is one of the bosses of the Mafia in the United States."
"Oh, how does he compare with Mr. Pengelly?"
The two people showed disdain on their faces, but they still replied respectfully, "The American Mafia is just a branch of the Italian Mafia. The seven bosses of the American Mafia have to listen to our godfather."
Xiao Bing put away the scroll and said to the two, "You two go back and say thank you to Mr. Peng Geli for me."
"Young Master Long is too polite." The two of them respectfully left.
The reason why Xiao Bing did not go out to buy gifts in the past two days was that Xiao Bing called Peng Geli and asked him for a gift in person. What a joke. How could a gift from the Godfather of the Mafia not be good?
Originally, Xiao Bing did not intend to ask Peng Geli for something, as if he was bullying him. But this time, the reason why he pretended to be Caroline's boyfriend was because of the Mafia. Although it was the American Mafia that caused the trouble, Xiao Bing still followed the principle that wool comes from the sheep. So he went to Peng Geli, the Godfather of the Mafia.
At this moment, the manor of Kamble Yith, the patriarch of the Yith family in New York, was decorated with lanterns and banners. A grand birthday party was being held.
There were a lot of guests invited to the birthday party this time. At this time, a few of them had arrived in twos and threes. Of course, the most important guests would always arrive later, so the guests who arrived earlier were being served by the housekeeper in the villa.
Kamble Yith was sitting in his daughter's room, trying his best to persuade her. But Caroline looked out of the window and turned a deaf ear to him.
Kamble Yith sighed and said, "Daughter, do you think I'm the kind of person who would sell my own daughter? It's because our family is indeed in big trouble now. We might be able to hold on for the time being, but our family's biggest problem is that our foundation is too shallow. If we had a foundation built up over several generations, how could they easily destroy us? But our Yith family was developed from your grandfather's generation. It was under my leadership that we became a first-class family in New York. It's only been through two generations. We don't have any connections in the government. We don't even have enough high-level government officials to contact. Big gangs like the Big Circle Gang and the Mafia don't give us any face. Now, if the Joey family continues to work with the Mafia to attack us, I'm afraid our family will collapse in a few months! "
Caroline frowned and said, "So I'm the only one who can solve the problem?"
Kamble Yith sighed and said, "Cohen Gambino is the second boss of the Italian Mafia, the Gambino family. He's the cousin of the big boss, Caron Gambino. He's an influential figure in the American Mafia. If we can become in-laws with Cohen Gambino, our Yith family might really be able to rise to a higher level in my hands.
"Most importantly, Cohen Gambino's son isn't a useless person, nor is he a profligate son. He's currently serving in the United States' military and is already a second-grade warrant officer. He's only in his twenties right now, and in another decade or so, he might even become a major or even a lieutenant colonel. By the time he's 50, he might even be on the verge of becoming a brigadier general."
Caroline said in disdain, "Is a brigadier general considered a general? Then let's wait until he becomes a major general before coming to propose. "
"How is that possible?!" Kamble Yith frowned and said, "Caroline, you're deliberately making things difficult for him. How many generals are there in the entire United States? No matter how outstanding he is, he'll probably only become a general after he's 50. Even if the family gives him full support and he's outstanding enough, he'll still have to wait until he's 40 to become a major general, right? He's only in his twenties now. You're asking him to wait for so many years? "
Caroline snorted and said, "Then I don't care. In any case, I won't marry him."
Kamble Yith smiled bitterly and said, "It's fine even if you don't marry him. But you have to at least try to get along with him. If it really doesn't work out, you can talk about breaking up after a while. What do you think? This is already your bottom line. "
Seeing how her father was trying so hard to persuade her, Caroline's heart softened. She sighed and said, "Dad, it's not that I don't want to agree. It's just that I already have a boyfriend!"
"What!!!" Kamble Yith was stunned at first, then he became furious. Then, he thought that his daughter must be trying to fool him. Therefore, he refused to believe her and said in a cold tone, "Then call your boyfriend over. Let me see if he's as outstanding as the Gambino family's descendant!"
"You'll see," Caroline said with a blissful smile. "He'll be here tonight."
Kamble Yith knew that there was no need to continue the conversation. He stood up, sighed, and said, "Caroline, my precious daughter, there's no need for you to fool me. Even if you come up with a random excuse, you'll be exposed very soon. You said that he'll be here tonight, so everything will be exposed by tonight. What's the point of coming up with all these excuses?"
Kamble Yith said earnestly, "As a father, I won't harm you, but the family is in trouble now. As a daughter of the Yith family, you really have to step forward and help. Your father's abilities are limited. Don't be fooled by how well he's doing. In fact, things like foundations can't be created out of thin air. I won't force you to marry him, but I hope you can give it a try. Even if you're only his girlfriend for the time being, try to see if you can fall in love with him. Think about it carefully. "
Kamble Yith walked to the door, pushed it open, and walked out with heavy steps.
After her father's footsteps disappeared, Caroline looked at the door and sighed. She muttered to herself, "Father, how could I not want to help you? I can do anything else, but I won't compromise when it comes to marriage. That's why I can only let you down and this family down. However, I think I've met a boyfriend who can really help me. Maybe his coming tonight will be an opportunity for our Yith family. You still don't know how powerful he is. "
At this moment, there were more than 20 people in the manor. All of them were New York's celebrities. The birthday party was held in the courtyard of the manor. The lawn was covered with a red carpet, and there were many white tables and chairs. On the tables were all kinds of western food and fine wine.
Countless maids with good figures were serving delicacies one after another and filling the cups with wine.
People were chatting on the lawn. Some of them were even whispering about the possible alliance between the Yith family and the mafia. This was what they were most interested in. The Yith family was already a first-class family. The only thing they lacked was a foundation. Recently, the Yith family had been in trouble. Everyone knew that if the mafia supported the Yith family, no other force would dare to attack the Yith family.
When the time came, the Yith family would grow into a giant. Everyone heard that the big boss of the mafia would bring his son, so they were all very concerned. The degree of concern had long surpassed the birthday party itself. Even if Caroline was the only daughter of the Yith family, the birthday of the future heir of the Yith family was not that significant to them.
Originally, there were a few influential figures who didn't plan to come. Due to the trouble the Yith family had been in for the past few months, many people could see that the Yith family was in trouble. Naturally, some of them didn't want to have anything to do with the Yith family. However, when they heard that the mafia was coming and that they might have a marriage alliance with the Yith family, everyone couldn't sit still. They all thought that regardless of whether it was true or not, before they knew the truth, they couldn't offend the Yith family!
Campbell Yith finally walked out of the mansion. He laughed and said, "George, Wall, Henry … I'm so sorry to trouble you to come to my Caroline's birthday party. You even brought so many gifts. The butler has already shown them to me. They are too valuable. Thank you so much."
"You're welcome." A fat man with a pipe in his mouth picked up the pipe and laughed. "I'll personally wish Caroline a happy birthday later!"
The twenty or so people went over to greet Campbell Yith. Finally, someone asked, "Mr. Campbell, I heard that someone from the Mafia will be here today?"
Campbell Yith sneered. Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.
