    Porter’s words made Sean very dissatisfied, and he shouted, “Ha, really interesting, you


    even know where the tiles of this vi are from? As if you were the owner of this


    ce…”


    A girl with xen hair interfered and said, “Stop it, Sean, you’re looking for trouble.”


    The girl looked at Porter and smiled, “Never mind what Sean said, Porter. I’m sorry for


    the damage to the fountain. I’ll go with you to the owner of the vi and pay for the


    damage.”


    Sean shrugged his shoulders and said, “Now, Ariana. I did it, and I’ll take care of it. You


    needn’t mind. Porter and I will take care of this, won’t we, Porter?”


    He looked at Porter with an aggressive expression.


    Hans’ eyes were even more aggressive. “Dude, are you hosting the party or not? Or


    should we now contact the homeowner to negotiatepensation?”


    Sean had no intention of payingpensation. He saw that Porter was easygoing, and


    wanted to manipte him into paying for it.


    After Hans spoke back, Sean looked at him carefully, thinking that he is not that easy to


    handle. He picked up the wet microphone to continue hosting the birthday party.


    And then there were birthday gifts. Everyone gave their present, and Ariana opened


    them.


    A girl who seemed to be very close to Ariana took out arge box first. When Ariana


    opened it, there was a tennis racket inside.


    “Honey, I know you had wanted to change your tennis racket. Come on, try it. Is it


    suitable?”


    Ariana looked surprised, threw her arms around the girl and cried out with enthusiasm.


    Porter was about to give his present when Li Du walked over and asked, “What have


    you prepared?”


    “A car. There’s something wrong with Ariana’s Beetle that needs major repairs. I will


    give her a brand new Beetle.”


    Hans smacked his lips and said, “It’s a nice gift, but not quite the right one, I think.


    Someone once gave my sister a sports car and he couldn’t quite get her.”


    Li Du rolled his eyes. I did not want to pursue your sister, OK?


    “What do you think I should give her, then?” asked Porter nervously.


    Just as Hans was about to speak, Li Du looked at the presents people had given Ariana


    and said, “Does Ariana like sports? Is she an active sort of girl?”


    In addition to the tennis racket from the first girl, there were also yoga mats, gym


    memberships, sneakers and other gifts from the back, most of which were connected to


    sports and exercise.


    Porter nodded, “Yes, she does.”


    “Then I have a nice present right here,” said Li Du.


    He opened the ck hole and pretended to take out some tickets from his wallet.


    “Tickets to the Miami Heat, let me see… tickets to the Christmas Game, tickets to the


    Lakers. Oh, this is a monthly ticket, you give this to her and go with her to the game,”


    said Li Du, handing him the tickets.


    Seeing the tickets to the game, Porter said happily, “Ah, yes, this is just right!”


    Hans was surprised. “Where did you get so many good tickets? This is a front row


    ticket, we could not have bought it!”


    “Remember how Lebron James came to see me?” said Li Du. “This is the ticket he gave


    me at that time.”


    Someone nearby heard his words and said, “Brag.”


    Lebron James was one of the top five most famous and popr stars in American


    sports. He yed for a team in Miami this season but was extremely popr here as


    well.


    Li Du was toozy to talk to these minions.


    Ariana’s friends gave her presents one by one, leaving Porter and Sean for the end.


    Sean looked at Porter and pointed at him with his chin. “Hey, man, what have you got?


    Come on, it’s not the key to the vi, is it? Haha!”


    Theughter rose all around again.


    Li Du frowned. What’s so funny about that? He guessed that something happened


    before they came. What Sean said rted to that.


    When Porter was about to show the tickets, Hans held him back and said to Sean, “My


    friend is our host today. ording to the party rules, he should be thest one to give


    his present. Why don’t you take out your present first?”


    Simr to thest person to visit at a warehouse auction, the most important person at


    an American birthday party was usually thest to give their gift.


    Sean wanted to argue, but Ariana smiled and said, “Take it out, Sean, I can’t wait to see


    your gift. I’m sure everyone feels the same.”


    Some of the girls joined her in their cheers. It was evident that Ariana was very popr.


    It was difficult for Sean to resist. He looked at Porter demonstratively and snapped his


    fingers.


    The young man next to him carefully brought out a small golden box. Sean opened it,


    revealing ayer of fine nnelette pad with a ne and a pair of earrings on top of


    it.


    The ne and earrings were very beautiful. The ne pendant was a fiery heart-


    shaped gem, with glittering and translucent faint white streaks. It was like a cloud in a


    sunset sky.


    The earring pendants were a moon and a star. They were ck, not pure ck, but


    ck crystal with interesting-looking color spots.


    Li Du was stunned. These looked familiar. The red stone was a fire opal, and the others


    were ck opals!


    Upon seeing the jewels, the girls cried out,


    “Oh, how beautiful!”


    “Oh, is this an opal?”


    “I can’t! I’m going to faint!”


    One girl asked hesitantly, “Is this by any chance the Love of Ink jewelry series that


    Harry Winston justunched this fall?”


    Li Du was even more stunned. This was jewelry made by his ownpany? This Sean


    sure paid a lot in order to impress the girl.


    As a shareholder, Li Du knew well that thepany’s opal jewelry was very expensive.


    Moreover, fire opals and ck opals were the most expensive of all. He estimated that


    this set cost at least a hundred thousand!


    Facing the excited public, Sean nodded with satisfaction and said, “That’s right, this is


    the new collection by Harry Winston. Pretty, isn’t it? I like Harry Winston’s designs, you


    see…”


    Now he began to exin about the jewelry in an ostentatious manner.


    Ariana, however, pushed his present away. She said earnestly. “This is beautiful, but I


    can’t ept it. It’s too expensive..”


    “It’s all right, Ariana. You see, the jewelry price is mostly because of the brand. I bought


    this set through a rtive who is a shareholder in Harry Winston, so I didn’t pay that


    much.”


    After a pause, he winked at the girl. “Besides, if Harry Winston had known it was for a


    beautiful girl like you, they would have given you these jewels for free, because you’d


    make them shine when you wear them!”
