After chatting with Matthew for a few words, a middle-aged man next to him suddenly interrupted and asked curiously:
"Steven, are you really willing to give Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Lamentation of Christ" to the Vatican? Just so that the Pope can come to Boston to officiate at your wedding to Betty?
Although I have only seen those two paintings on TV and never appreciated them up close, I have heard several art critics say that they are two priceless top-notch works of art and extremely precious!
According to those art critics, the value of those two paintings should be close to one billion US dollars, and may even be far more than one billion US dollars. How can you be willing to give them away for nothing? The handwriting is too big! "
The person speaking is a cousin of Matthew, who is also Betty’s uncle. The two families are very close and often move around!
"Wow! That's too exaggerated!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, a sound of exclamation immediately sounded in the living room.
Everyone looked at Ye Tian, with curiosity in their eyes, looking forward to his answer.
Ye Tian turned to look at the speaker, then glanced at the other people in the living room, then nodded with a smile and said:
"Yes, Chuck, Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Lamentation of the Christ" are indeed two priceless top works of art. Their overall value is likely to exceed one billion dollars. !
As for whether I am willing to give them to the Vatican in exchange for the Pope coming to Boston to officiate the wedding to Betty and me? Of course I do, because I love Betty and I want to give her the most perfect wedding! "
Hearing this, Matthew, who was sitting next to him, immediately reached out, patted Ye Tian's arm gently, and said with admiration:
"Well done, Steven. Evelyn and I both appreciate your decision. I believe your and Betty's wedding will be perfect, and you will also receive the best wishes!
At the same time, we would also like to thank you for your generosity and generosity. It is because of your generosity that we have the opportunity to meet the Pope and receive his blessing. This is very important! "
"You're welcome, Matthew, as long as it's for Betty and makes her happy, I'll be happy to do anything. Giving away two top-notch works of art is nothing, it's not worth mentioning!"
Ye Tian took the opportunity to express his determination to his father-in-law, with a very high attitude.
"Steven, you are so generous. If it had been anyone else, who would be willing to give it up? Those are two top-notch works of art worth a billion dollars. If it were me, you would kill me." Reluctant to give up! "
Chuck said with emotion, his eyes full of envy and admiration.
As soon as he finished speaking, another middle-aged man next to him immediately joked:
"If it were you? Chuck, you really dare to think that even if the paintings of Raphael and Michelangelo were placed in front of you, would you know them? Do you have the artistic quality?"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter in the living room, and everyone laughed.
Chuck's old face turned red, and he glared hard at the guy who exposed him and embarrassed him, but there was nothing he could do!
We are all friends and relatives here, so we can’t fall out because of a joke or two!
When the laughter subsided, Ye Tian continued:
“After the wedding, if you have time, I suggest you go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and take a good look at Raphael’s “Madonna” and Michelangelo’s “Lamentation of Christ.”
Although everyone has seen these two paintings on TV, please believe that it can never be compared with the feeling of facing these two top-notch works of art directly. There is a world of difference between them!
I am very sure that when you stand in front of Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Lamentation of the Christ" and admire them quietly, your soul will be completely shocked.
This opportunity is extremely rare and should not be missed. Once these two outstanding paintings by Raphael and Michelangelo are brought back to the Vatican, it is anyone’s guess whether they will be publicly displayed!
After the wedding, the Pope will not leave the United States immediately. He will also visit various places in the United States for a few days. During this period, the exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum will not stop. There is plenty of time! "
“Steven, we don’t want to miss this God-given opportunity, and we also really want to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York to appreciate those two top works of art!
However, I'm afraid we won't have this opportunity. The Metropolitan Museum has made an appointment to visit, and the number of appointments has long been filled. It's our turn there! "
Chuck continued, with a hint of regret in his tone.
The rest of the people in the living room nodded, including Matthew. They obviously failed to make an appointment and could only miss this opportunity.
Ye Tian looked at everyone’s expressions, then smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter if you don't have a reservation. As long as you want to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and appreciate these two top works of art, leave the rest to me. There are many ways!
I am very familiar with the curator of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and this exhibition is also on loan. I can arrange a time for you. You don’t have to queue up outside or make an appointment, and you can still enter the museum to visit! "
"That's great. After the wedding, our family will go to New York immediately. We must not miss this God-given opportunity!"
Chuck said excitedly, and the others nodded excitedly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Logan, who was standing on the edge of the living room, suddenly pointed at the TV screen and said loudly:
"Look, the Pope's plane is coming!"
As he said this, everyone in the living room stopped talking and looked at the TV screen in front of them. Except for Ye Tian, everyone's eyes shone with excitement!
Sure enough! A large passenger plane with smooth lines flew from a distance, and in a blink of an eye it was flying over Washington Dulles International Airport, and its altitude was getting lower and lower, falling straight to the far end of the straight runway.
At the near end of the runway, on an apron not far from the terminal hall.
The President of the United States and his entourage, as well as many American religious leaders and people from all walks of life, who came to greet the Pope, had already formed a formation and looked at the large passenger plane that was slowly landing!
Many media reporters who were allowed to enter the tarmac for interviews and filming, all set up their long guns and cannons, and kept taking pictures of the large passenger plane!
It can be clearly seen from the TV screen that everyone on the tarmac is extremely excited and their eyes are shining.
Some of the more devout Christians were still mumbling words, praying in low voices, and crossing themselves on their chests!
Of course, there are many Secret Service agents on high alert on the tarmac. These guys are in their respective positions and standing around the President of the United States and his entourage, watching the scene vigilantly.
In addition to the Secret Service agents in suits and ties, there were also many Washington police officers and a large number of airport security personnel on site. The security on the entire tarmac was very tight and it could be said that there was no leakage!
On the periphery of the crowd, a little further away, there were many vehicles parked.
Among them is the car of the President of the United States, an extended version of the Cadillac luxury car specially customized for the President of the United States, Army One!
This is a super bulletproof vehicle that can withstand rocket attacks, and it can also withstand attacks from biological and chemical weapons. Its protective capabilities are extremely good!
In addition, there are many full-size bulletproof SUVs, commercial vehicles, and a large number of police cars with flashing lights. There are dozens of them in total, and the scene is quite spectacular!
Looking at the airport hall at this time, it was already completely boiling.
Almost everyone in the airport hall looked at the large silver-gray passenger plane from a distance through the glass curtain wall. Many people even waved and shouted excitedly!
Although each of them knew very well that it was impossible for the Pope to see them or hear their own voices, it seemed that this was the only way to express their inner excitement!
Many media reporters in the departure hall raised their cameras and video cameras and kept shooting at the large passenger plane to record this important moment.
At the same time, the excited voice of the CBS TV host continued to reach everyone's ears, broadcasting the latest situation.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now two quarter past two. The passenger plane that is flying towards Washington Dulles International Airport and is about to land is the Pope's plane..."
Before the host could finish his words, the rear wheels of the large passenger plane had landed on the runway, bringing up a puff of smoke.
At this moment, Matthew suddenly said quickly:
"Logan, go upstairs and call your mother, Betty, and others to come down. The Pope has arrived in Washington. Let them not miss this important moment!"
"Okay, I'll call them right now"
Logan nodded in agreement and immediately rushed up the stairs in three steps and two steps at a time to call Betty and the others.
Soon, there were waves of footsteps on the stairs, very dense!
Besides the sound of footsteps, there was also a burst of chattering. Every voice was excited, and they were all women's voices!
Hearing these sounds, everyone in the living room turned their heads in unison and looked towards the stairs, including Ye Tian.
The first people who came downstairs and appeared in front of everyone were Evelyn, the hostess of the house, and Chuck's wife, followed by two other middle-aged women!
The next thing that appeared were Betty's two sisters, who were about twenty years old and very lively.
The next moment, Betty, wearing a flawless white haute couture wedding dress and top-grade jewelry, carefully walked down the stairs, holding the hem of her skirt in one hand.
At this time, Betty's whole body seemed to be radiating light and dazzling, like an angel suddenly falling from the sky and appearing in front of everyone, extremely beautiful!
The moment he saw Betty, Ye Tian was stunned. Everyone else in the living room was also stunned on the spot!
"Wow! Betty is so beautiful!"
