494 Shirley's Father
After leaving the airport, Kobe, Iverson and his group played and got on the bus sent to pick them up. Chamberlain did not get on the bus. He had to wait for Scheter, and the latter and Kennel-Grands flights were about to arrive at the airport.
Others wondered whether he was waiting at the airport. Chamberlain smiled and said nothing, but Kobe immediately looked ambiguous. He pulled Billups and some people away and whispered: "I understand that this bastard must be meeting beautiful girls here. Look at his expression, it is definitely like this."
Chamberlain laughed in silence, too lazy to explain anything, and of course he could not explain his purpose. West is worthy of being his friend, patted his shoulder and said, "I'll stay with you to wait with you. Wouldn't it be boring for you to be here alone?"
Looking at West's sincere and honest smile, Chamberlain was very moved. He deserved to be a good brother. He pinched West's shoulder and said, "Thank you, brother, I don't know how to say many things. You have suffered a lot of grievances with me. If you are in other teams, you can be an absolute core..."
West smiled and punched him and said, "Don't say it's so sour, it seems like we are GAY. I feel very comfortable at the Warriors. People often ask me why I don't go to other teams to be the boss. I have also asked myself this question. My answer is that it's boring. If I haven't been to the Warriors, I can't even eat now."
West's family knew his family. Before the Warriors came, everything was not going well, his daughter's illness, his girlfriend's departure, conflicts with his teammates, and lack of friends. West was lonely in life and in the game, which also developed his introverted personality. At that time, the Thunder, who was still the Supersonics, had planned to do so. If no one accepted West, then buy out his contract and let him get out.
As a result, everything changed when the Warriors came. Chamberlain treated him sincerely. The more than 500,000 US dollars he lent to him had not yet been paid back. Chamberlain had never mentioned the money since the day he borrowed the money. West was actually the kind of person who could repay the kindness of a drop of water, but there was not even a drop of water before. In the end, he was about to die of thirst in the desert of life. Chamberlain suddenly ran over and carried him to a spring. West made up his mind at that time and must work hard to improve his football skills and help Chamberlain.
West had signed an agent before. After he made his fortune, he whined and asked him to transfer. West kicked him away immediately without hesitation. Staying with the Warriors was his own choice. As long as Chamberlain was still there, he would be there.
The two of them looked at each other and were brewing feelings. At this time, a crisp sound like a wind chime suddenly rang: "Hi, handsome guys, has my arrival disrupted your arrangements?"
Chamberlain turned his head in shock and saw Ivanka smiling at them, with ambiguous light in his green eyes.
West quickly shook Chamberlain's outstretched arm, and he shivered and explained first: "Madam, things are not what you think. In fact, I have absolutely no interest in men..." He said, showing a sudden enlightenment expression, and then pushed Chamberlain with a wicked smile and muttered, "So you bastard really want to date a beautiful girl here, okay, I am a light bulb, I am a damn light bulb, I'm going to get out now..."
Kobe and others got on the bus but the car didn't drive. The driver explained that the Heat All-Star guard Wade was also at this point and wanted to pick it up together. As a result, West ran up first and saw him Iverson asked, "Aren't you chatting with me?"
West curled his lips and said, "How many mouths do he have? I mean, his mouth is now kissing the beauty, so how can he have time to chat with me?"
When Kobe heard this, he immediately became energetic. He turned around and lay on the backrest of the car seat and asked enthusiastically: "Come on, Deronti, tell us who is having a tryst with?"
West raised his head proudly, I am a good brother, of course I have to keep it secret for him.
I was really surprised to see Ivanka Chamberlain. The former shrugged and said helplessly: "My luck is really bad. I finally plucked up the courage to skip work and come on vacation, but I met the boss again. Hi, boss, can you forgive me this time?"
Chamberlain blinked and said, "Of course it's okay, but it depends on how you ask me. Go to my room tonight to report your mistakes in your mind, and I may forgive you."
Ivanka waved his hand and said, "No, boss, I want to keep my body as jade for Richard."
After hearing what she said, Chamberlain understood: "Are you chasing Richard?"
Here, Richard experienced the first All-Star Game after joining the Warriors, and the All-Star Game may be held at the Warriors' home court Oracle Arena next year, so the NBA organizing committee specially sent him an invitation letter to invite him to participate in this All-Star Game.
Ivanka nodded, her smile on her face calmed down, and her expression became a little depressed.
Chamberlain didn't know what to say. Richard didn't seem to be very catching a cold about Ivanka. This kid was a romantic seed. He had to go to nightclubs and get out of bed sheets with second-tier actresses and socialites every now and then, but he had never been to such occasions with Ivanka.
Seeing that the manager under his command was unhappy, Chamberlain must have expressed his feelings as the boss. He persuaded: "Take it slow down. If you have time, I'll ask you what Richard is planning to do."
Ivanka reluctantly smiled and said, "Don't, thank you for your concern, but we still have to solve this problem ourselves. By the way, what's wrong with you here?"
When Cao Cao arrived, Chamberlain's cell phone rang. He raised it and saw that Szete called, he explained briefly, saying goodbye to Ivanka and waiting for Szete and Shirley's father to arrive.
Scheter dressed similarly to Kobe, and was also wearing a black suit, black trousers, black windbreaker, black sunglasses, and black leather shoes. Seeing him, Chamberlain rolled his eyes and said, "What are you kidding? The temperature in Phoenix City is more than 2 degrees Celsius. Are you planning to take a sauna?"
Scheter shrugged, and he shook his windbreaker narcissistically explained: "This is the standard equipment for bodyguards, H6, this is the standard equipment for bodyguards all over the world."
Chamberlain ignored him, his eyes were attracted by a middle-aged man next to Schetter. There was no doubt that this was Shirley's father, Kennel Grands.
However, Kennel's impression is a bit different from that in Chamberlain's memory. He remembers that Kennel is a fat middle-aged man full of alcohol and drunk at any time. However, the middle-aged man who appears in front of him now has a very thin figure. He is wearing a rough jeans, with a bright hair and a vicissitudes of life. Although his face has just been shaved, the messy stubble can still show his downfall.
If Scheter hadn't said the man's name in advance, Chamberlain would have really not recognized his identity. Kennel's change has been too great. He used to be a rotten alcoholic, but now he seems to be a middle-aged and middle-aged man in his hardships. However, Shirley's shadow is still vaguely seen from his thin face. Kennel should have been a handsome man when he was young, but now his face is still a bit handsome just looking at it.
"Hello, sir, thank you for your care for my daughter." Seeing Chamberlain Kaynel, he greeted him with a sincere expression as if he was a Chinese-style old farmer who saw his daughter's head teacher.
Chamberlain had no good impression of him, and he nodded coldly and said, "Sherley is a good girl. You don't have to thank me. I didn't take care of her because of your reasons. I just can't see a girl with a bright future ruined by the scumbag."
Kenel clearly felt Chamberlain's hostility and disdain, but he was not angry or dissatisfied. He just smiled awkwardly, and then kept lowering his head to stand beside him. So the cold incident came out. Scheter wanted to choose a topic to make the atmosphere better, but considering that his identity was a bodyguard and being taciturn was his duty, he honestly shut up and ran to the side to stand guard.
Chamberlain looked at Kennel coldly, and he spoke to break the awkward atmosphere and asked, "Mr. Grants, I heard from my bodyguard that you have been looking for me? Is there anything wrong?"
Kennel looked up, he looked at Chamberlain, his lips squirmed a few times, and then said in a low mood: "Sir, can you let me meet Shirley? In prison, I already understand the mistakes I made in the past, and I think I should apologize to Shirley."
Since the meeting, Kennel has always looked like a good person, but Chamberlain doesn't believe him. This guy has a criminal record. To be honest, he doesn't want Kennel and Shirley to meet.
Although Shirley always looks sunny and positive, in private, Chamberlain can still find her lonely and inferior side. Almost every boy in St. Lawrence Middle School wants to chase Shirley, but Shirley has never accepted the feelings of any boy. Even if a few boys get close to her, those people's family background is relatively poor, which is somewhat similar to Shirley before. Shirley seems to be more comfortable when she is with them.
This is not Chamberlain's imagination. Taylor also discovered this. The two discussed it. Then there was something happening during this All-Star period: Shirley was going to lead the national anthem before the opening of the All-Star Game. Originally, the NHA organizing committee invited Taylor, but Taylor recommended Shirley. NHA Vice President Stu Jackson also agreed to her recommendation after seeing Shirley.
Shirley's beauty and voice shocked Jackson. He believed that this girl would become an idol in the United States in the future. He believed that with Shirley leading the opening national anthem, this year's All-Star Game will inevitably be more interesting.
