Chapter 432: Potential Contradictions (2nd Update)
After Emma finished saying the very simple-sounding but philosophical love-hate statement, the little bird rested her head on Lin Zitan's shoulder and closed her eyes to recuperate, but Lin Zitan's heart lake was like a stone thrown by her, setting off ripples.
Looking at Emma's porcelain-like face, Lin Zitan suddenly remembered Xiao Li's previous words, yes, he was lucky, not because Emma was beautiful and capable, but because she was obviously so smart and clever, but she was always willing to pretend to be wise and foolish, and stay by his side stupidly.
Emma actually lives a very transparent life, she already has what she should have, so she never forces those external things, such as the love of her parents, such as fame and fortune, such as more money and luxuries......
It was also her tranquility that made Lin Zitan feel for a while that he had a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!?
It wasn't until that day that Emma told him her mother's story that Lin Zitan knew that she should not stop moving, but should continue to forge ahead, Emma wanted more than just contentment, she wanted more, but she never said.
As smart as she is, she will not hold an invisible whip like an ordinary housewife and constantly spur her husband to go out to earn money and go out, but she will tell you with her decades of persistence that she has been working hard for her dreams!
---------------
Zhang Jing's coming over this time can be described as dragging his family with his mouth, another turning point in his life, although he said that he would run at both ends because of business, but watching them come out of the crowd, Lin Zitan clearly felt that there must have been some unpleasant dispute between this sadomasochistic couple.
"Hi ~ Alice ~ "
When Emma saw the figure of their family, she immediately ran towards Alice with her arms outstretched like a happy bird.
Lin Zitan also followed, stretched out his hand and gave Zhang Jing a strong hug.
"Welcome back, good brother!"
Lin Zitan said with a smile.
"Come back~hiss~ I don't know if I'm old, I really feel like the leaves are returning to my roots, but my roots are obviously good in China~"
Zhang Jing swept around the JFK International arrival hall and couldn't help but show a helpless smile.
He was crowded with Chinese compatriots who were going to the United States, and there were Chinese banners hanging on the roof, if it weren't for the old black security guards, it really made him feel like he was still at the domestic airport.
It's a pity that this is the United States, a country where Zhang Jing was forced to go back as soon as he adapted, and he was forced to return when he just forgot about it.
"Isn't there a saying, where is your wife, where is your home~ Your wife and children are here, where can your roots go?" Lin Zitan quipped.
"Alas, isn't it where my mother is, where is my home? Why did you change it to be like this? You are a wife and slave!"
After Zhang Jing reacted, he patted Lin Zitan's back and said.
"Let's go, sons, you will have to sing God bless America every day in the future~" Zhang Jing said angrily.
"Jerimy came back just in time now, just in time for junior high school, high school to college, and it's not bad to finish it here~"
Lin Zitan said and turned around and rubbed Jerimy, who was already on his shoulders at the age of 11, this kid completely inherited Alice's good genes.
"Uncle, haven't your younger siblings been out of school yet?"
As soon as Jerimy came out, he looked around, until he found that it was indeed only Lin Zitan and Emma, who couldn't help but speak.
"It's time to get out of school at this time, but it's too late to pick you up at the airport, but I'll see you when I get home in a while, let's go, go back first." ”
Lin Zitan looked at the children, and for a moment he also realized that Zhang Jing's sentence was old, and in a blink of an eye, he and Zhang Jing were already people who were going to run for four.
-------------------------
After dropping off Zhang and his family at their high-end apartment in Manhattan, the two families had dinner together at the Four Seasons Hotel, which was very close to home.
After dinner, he returned to Zhang Jing's house, Emma accompanied Alice in the room to whisper, and the four children nested in the children's room to exchange various fresh toys.
Zhang Jing sat down on the sofa in the study with a depressed face, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.
"Didn't you say that you decided to follow Alice and just live like this?
Lin Zitan didn't speak for a long time, so he couldn't help but speak.
"Just for her little dream, I specially put aside the booming business in China, so that you don't have to worry about it!"
Zhang Jing has always had a true temperament in front of Lin Zitan, so he said the true words in his heart without thinking and embellishment.
"But since you've decided, let's take your time first, didn't you say you can run at both ends? Why, you retreated before you started?" Lin Zitan said strangely.
Lin Zitan knows Zhang Jing very well, unless he encounters something he really cares about, otherwise this guy is usually very grinning and giggling.
"I ...... Tsk~ I only knew before I got on the plane that Alice had discussed with that well-known designer, and after arriving in the United States, I would go to work in that company first.
But she obviously said that she came to the United States to promote her own self-created brand, and said that she wanted to make a name for herself like your wife, isn't she lying to me now?
Maybe...... What's more, I'm really worried that I won't be able to run home at both ends like this, and maybe one day I will be given green!"
Zhang Jing finally couldn't help but tell the conflict between him and Alice.
"Tsk, look at your temper, what are you afraid of as a costume designer?" Lin Zitan couldn't help but smile in order to calm Zhang Jing down.
"That person is from the United States, he looks much more handsome than Lao Tzu, and compared to him, I am still like a local old man, even the money I am proud of may not be more than anyone's family, do you think I'm in a hurry?" Zhang Jing said angrily.
"Haven't you heard that there are a lot of men who do design? Maybe they are TXL, and besides, Alice is already a mother of two children, so people really go to find young and beautiful, right?"
"I've inquired, this guy is not a comrade at all, and the models under his hands are all beautiful and moon-looking, maybe people are tired of eating tender grass and want to change to maturity!" Zhang Jing said irritably.
"Even if you don't believe in human nature anymore, you should believe in Alice, you have lived together for so many years!"
"You also said that for so many years, but she didn't marry me for a day, I couldn't let go of my heart for a day, I had to stare over here, but if I stared here, no one would pay attention to the domestic money, and I would be even more confident in front of Alice without money, so I'm so irritable!"
Zhang Jing said, pinching the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, raising his hands and rubbing his face vigorously.
This is the second time in Lin Zitan's life that he has seen Zhang Jing so depressed, and the funny thing is that both times it was because of women!
"Okay, don't think about it so much, if you come here, you still have me on your side! The venture capital project that Joseph, that is, your father-in-law-to-be, I have been working on has started to make money slowly.
If you want to join, I'll go talk to them?" Lin Zitan hurriedly thought of a way for Zhang Jing to settle down.
"It's not that I don't have a project that makes money, it's just that it's really an extraordinary time, and the few movies and TV series that have just been invested in China are all big IPs, big moves, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Especially now that domestic supervision is also strict, and there are these self-media, illegitimate fans, there are often popular actors caught in scandals, once a person comes out with black material, the whole show has to be castrated, so I am also anxious. ”
Then the two of them talked for a while, until Emma knocked on the door and said that the children should go back to bed, Lin Zitan stood up and patted Zhang Jing on the shoulder and said:
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, don't be in a hurry to think about everything in a bad way!"
