Chapter 1051 Big Clien (2/2)

America. All the developers and investors planned to turn this marsh peninsula into

agricultural land and a vacation spot.

During the 20th century, Henry Flagler, the railway tycoon, developed the Florida East

Coast Railway, which facilitated the development of large canals. In the following

decade, real estate in Florida had improved exponentially. Thus, modern Miami was

born, transforming from a swamp to a big city.

While they were on the plane, Hans was excited. ”This is such a great time to go to

Miami, Li. Miami has possibly the prettiest fall season in the whole of the United States.

You'll love it, I'm sure.”

Li Du shook his head and said, ”The prettiest fall isn't in Miami.”

”Where, then?”

”In my hometown,” Li Du said passionately.

Hans showed him a middle finger. ”You're an idealist.”

However, the curvy blonde lady who was sitting beside them was touched by Li Du's

words. She asked with deep interest, ”Where is your hometown? I completely agree

with you, the seasons are always most beautiful in our own hometown.”

At once, Hans nodded solemnly. ”Yes, it's true. You can't help being attached to your

home country. I always dream that I'm sitting alone in the lavender field back in my

hometown, with my Labrador resting next to me…”

He was showing the passionate side of him, and it made Li Du nauseous.

The blonde lady did not buy it either. She said, ”Judging from your accent, I take it

you're from Arizona. Where is that lavender farm in Arizona?”

Hans blinked and said, ”Actually, my ancestral home is France. Provence, France.”

The blonde lady stared at him with soft doe eyes, and said, ”What a coincidence! I am

from Provence as well. Gallery South of Provence, to be exact. What about you?”

Hans inhaled deeply and said, ”I'm tired, you guys go ahead and chat.”

Li Du couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The blonde lady, who introduced herself as Elize, was indeed from France. She was

touring around the world and her next stop was Asia. She saw that Li Du had the look of

an Asian, so she wanted to ask him for some information.

Both of them had a lot of fun talking, and by the time the plane landed in Miami, Elize

didn't want to lose touch. She gave her number to Li Du.

Hans winked at Li Du, hinting him to go after her, as this lady was clearly willing.

Li Du quietly showed him a middle finger. He thought that Hans was clueless when it

came to personal matters.

After getting off the plane, they were welcomed by Miami's warm breeze and bright

sunshine. The pace of life in Miami seemed very different from other places in America.

They rented a car and began driving toward the southern beaches. As the car drove

along the road, Li Du could feel the difference between this city and others he had

visited.

Wherever he looked, he saw tanned pretty women, many of them Latin by the look of

them. Many of the local men had Havana cigars in their mouths, and there were many

Cuban style discos full of people dancing along to Bolero songs.

There were many gallery artists on the streets as well. They strolled around with easels

on their backs. Sometimes the people who were sunbathing on the beach would wave

them over to pose for a portrait.

There were many restaurants in the area as well, Caribbean diners, Cuban diners,

Argentinian, Haitian, and many other ethnic cuisines. There was everything, in fact,

except the standard Western-style diners that Li Du was used to seeing in Arizona.

The southern beaches of Miami were reportedly the most beautiful in the whole of

America. As the car went along the coastline, they saw the pristine white beach and

turquoise warm sea.

Porter was staying in a private estate located in the area. Hans gave him a phone call,

but nobody picked up.
