Chapter 964: Willing to Come Back?
Any other questions?" asked Matt Dino.
"No!" Matt Dino shook his head and stood up.
Xiao Yao has already made clear the meaning of sending off guests. Matt Dino had no other problems, and Nicky Thompson also stood up and said goodbye to Xiao Yao together.
After the three left, Xiao Yao took out his mobile phone and called Yan Ke, who was still in Cambridge City.
After the news of Xiao Yao's participation in the Billboard Music Awards came out, Yan Ke and others called Xiao Yao. They called Xiao Yao, not to congratulate Xiao Yao on attending the award ceremony, but to wonder why Xiao Yao, who was obviously going to a Las Vegas casino to count cards, went to the award ceremony again.
At that time, Xiao Yao didn't tell them about the incident with Nicky Thompson, only that he happened to be staying in the same hotel as Nicky Thompson, and was recognized by her, and then he was pulled to help her watch the rehearsal, and then he was asked by the organizer to save the scene. After a brief explanation, Xiao Yao also told them in detail about his progress and achievements in the Las Vegas casino.
But that contact was almost half a month ago. Now that he has been blacklisted by the casino, it means that his operation in the Las Vegas casino is over. This time I called them to tell them about this and tell them about their final "results", and the other thing is to tell them about being interviewed by reporters.
Of course, Yan Ke and others were very surprised by Xiao Yao's "results" this month, but after all, they taught Xiao Yao to count cards, and they were not only surprised by this result, but also very happy. As for Xiao Yao being interviewed by reporters, they were not very surprised. made 20 million yuan from the casino in a month, which is a big news for ordinary people, not to mention that Xiao Yao himself is still a star?
When Xiao Yao asked them if they would mind if they were featured in the reporter's news report, they were all very unanimous in demanding that their identities not be made public. Although they often say that they envy Xiao Yao for being a big star, when it is really time to be famous, they still choose not to be famous.
Yan Ke and others' reply can be regarded as Xiao Yao's expectation. Xiao Yao didn't see them much, but he didn't cut off contact, and he stayed together for a few days a month ago, and he thought that he had a certain understanding of their mentality, otherwise he wouldn't have directly misled Bob Snow in the previous interview, but left on the spot to call them. Make this call now, just in case, just in case for a final confirmation.
After calling Yan Ke and them, Xiao Yao's mission to the United States this time was completed. Xiao Yao hung up the phone and began to check the flight information on the Internet. After discovering that there was a flight back to Huaxia in the evening, Xiao Yao immediately booked a ticket, checked out of the hotel that night, and boarded the plane back to Huaxia.
When Xiao Yao came to the United States, he departed from Shencheng and arrived at Boston, and when he returned to China, he departed from Las Vegas and arrived at Yanjing.
Since Xiao Yao successfully proposed to Sun Tingting at the Celebrity Tournament at the beginning of the year, the wedding has been put on the agenda by the two families. Since Xiao Yao made it clear that he planned to put the wedding in the second half of the year, he was not in a hurry in terms of time, but both of them regarded this matter as the top priority of this year. According to Chinese tradition, of course, the man is mainly responsible for the wedding, so Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying also pay more attention and worry.
Xiao Yao has always been relatively independent, and he has long told his parents that he can handle it, and he has not handed over many wedding-related things to his parents. But when my son gets married, I don't do anything as a parent, and I feel very uncomfortable. Seeing that a few months had passed, Xiao Yao was busy filming, Sun Tingting went to participate in the reality show, and the two seemed to have done nothing, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying couldn't help it, so they offered to go abroad to help Xiao Yao inspect the wedding venue.
It is their freedom to go where their parents go, and Xiao Yao also understands their mentality, so naturally he will not stop it.
Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying originally wanted to go and see it first, and then introduce Xiao Yao and the Sun family when there were alternatives, and they didn't plan to take the Sun family with them, but they didn't expect Xiao Yao to tell them that Sun Tingting wanted to go with them.
Sun Tingting is the bride, and it is reasonable to go with them to inspect the wedding venue, and the two have no reason or want to refuse, so they agreed. However, since Sun Tingting was going, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying simply changed their plans and wanted both families to go together.
Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting are both only children, and there are a total of six people in the two families. Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying planned to travel, so they naturally had already arranged for work, and the schedule was vacant. Sun Tingting wants to go with them, and of course there is no problem with the time. Hu Xuena is an actress, but after getting married, she slowly faded out of the big screen and the small screen, only occasionally acting in dramas, not much work, free in June and July, and there is no problem with time. Sun Zhihao doesn't have much work at hand, and the only trouble is that he is still Yandian's teacher, and he won't have a long vacation until the summer vacation.
As for Xiao Yao, he was still filming in the crew in June. Xiao Yao is the male lead of that drama, and it is possible to take a day or two off from the crew, but they plan to go to Europe for about a month this time, and it is impossible for Xiao Yao to take a month off, so that the crew will be suspended and wait for a month.
Fortunately, Xiao Yao's play is expected to be completed at the end of June, and Xiao Yao does not plan to participate in post-production, so Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying changed their original travel plan in mid-June to the end of June in order to accommodate Sun Zhihao and Xiao Yao.
After changing the time, Sun Zhihao and Hu Xuena had no problems, but Xiao Yao said that he still had something to go to the United States for a period of time after the crew was finished, and he couldn't run around casually during the period, that is, he couldn't accompany them to see the venue by the way. I could not accompany them to Europe, nor did I ask them not to change the scope of the examination to North America.
Xiao Yao did not tell his parents what he was going to do in the United States. If it was another time, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying would have no opinion. After all, Xiao Yao has had a lot of ideas since he was a child, and he has been running around the world with Chen Xuan since he was a child, and he doesn't have to worry about his safety, and he doesn't need to tell them everything in advance and ask for their consent. But this time things are different, the marriage also involves the Sun family, and Sun Zhihao and Hu Xuena also have to go together. Xiao Yao's approach made his parents very dissatisfied.
But fortunately, Sun Tingting is on Xiao Yao's side. At this time, Sun Tingting's words were much more effective than Xiao Yao in front of Xiao Yao's parents. Sun Tingting came forward to express her understanding to Xiao Yao and comforted the four parents. Although Sun Tingting didn't say what Xiao Yao was doing in the United States, several parents could see from Sun Tingting's tone and performance that Sun Tingting actually knew what Xiao Yao was doing in the United States, so Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying reluctantly agreed and let Xiao Yao go.
The group of five went to Europe at the end of June, and now a month later, they have returned home from their trip. Sun Tingting has no work arrangement for the time being, Xiao Yao is not in China, and after returning to China, she did not go to Xiao Yao's residence in Shencheng, but went back to Yanjing's home to accompany her parents.
After Xiao Yao participated in this year's Golden Dragon Award ceremony, he went to Shencheng to be busy with TV dramas, and after the TV series was completed, he went to the United States, and he hadn't gone home to see his parents for nearly half a year. Another point is that we need to hear the results of their trip to the wedding venue. Therefore, Xiao Yao, who had no work at hand for the time being, did not return to Shencheng, but went back to Yanjing directly.
Before boarding the plane back to China, Xiao Yao called his parents and Sun Tingting to inform him of his flight back to China and the time of arrival. After getting off the plane and coming out of the passenger passage, Xiao Yao saw Sun Tingting standing outside the barricade at a glance and came to pick him up.
After the crew of "Beautiful Sister" was completed, Xiao Yao took a two-day break before going to the United States, but at that time, Sun Tingting had already set off for Europe with the parents of the two families, so after all, the two had not seen each other for more than a month.
The airport halls of major cities are often guarded by gossip reporters, but Xiao Yao and Sun Tingting both wear hats and sunglasses, and there are no assistants or anything like that. The two looked like an ordinary reunited couple, did not attract the attention of reporters, and left the airport hall calmly and smoothly. As for how Xiao Yao recognized Sun Tingting wearing a hat and sunglasses at a glance? This question Xiao Yao disdained to answer.
Sun Tingting had already taken her driver's license, and this time she came by car. Xiao Yao sat on the plane for more than 20 hours, and when he went back, Sun Tingting naturally drove.
After hitting the road, Sun Tingting naturally asked about Xiao Yao's experience in Las Vegas.
Sun Tingting has known about going to the casino for a long time, and the media has also reported about going to the Billboard Music Awards to be a guest performer in the middle, but Xiao Yao's experience in the casino and how he became a guest performer, Sun Tingting doesn't know. Xiao Yao started from going to Cambridge to meet the card counting team, and told Sun Tingting in detail, including meeting Nicky Thompson at Boston Airport, letting a gambling girl make a marionette to help him win money on the first day of going to the casino, finding Tim Haggis as a companion in the middle, and PK with the Korean group during the rehearsal of the Billboard Music Awards ceremony, etc., did not hide at all.
"You deceived people, people looked for someone to beat you, but it didn't work, you found out the media to expose your black material, and you found out, you didn't pursue it, you went to be a stage director for others, and people recommended you to be a guest performer on the billboard," Sun Tingting turned her head to look at Xiao Yao after listening to what happened to Nicky Thompson and said, "Are you and that Nicky Thompson considered to be a friend or not, or are you destined enemies?"
"It's nothing!" Xiao Yao felt Sun Tingting's sourness, and immediately replied, "It's just that I was bored at Boston Airport, got into trouble, and then found a way to solve that trouble." ”
"I went to the rehearsal because I received two tickets from my agent, and the reason for receiving those two tickets was that I really wanted to watch the performance of the awards ceremony, and I wanted to solve that trouble, and I didn't want to make an enemy in the American entertainment industry for no reason. Xiao Yao continued, "As for agreeing or even striving to be the guest performer, it's not just because she recommended me, it's mainly because I don't like the agent of the Korean group." Also, it wasn't just her who recommended me at the time, but also Cordy, the face of the two American superstars, I always have to give it. ”
"Really?" Sun Tingting glanced at Xiao Yao again and said with a smile.
"Of course!" Xiao Yao nodded and changed the subject, "Attending the awards ceremony was an accident, you know that I went to the United States mainly to go to the casino to count cards, don't you care how much I won in the casino in Las Vegas?"
"The steering wheel is up!" Xiao Yao reminded with a smile, and then solemnly stretched out two fingers and said, "More than 20 million, US dollars!"
"What!" Sun Tingting was startled and exclaimed, "Isn't your goal a few million? It's only been a month, and you've won 20 million?!"
Although Sun Tingting knew that Xiao Yao went to the United States to learn card counting and go to the casino to play card counting, Xiao Yao also threatened to win a few million in front of her, but the number of 20 million still really scared Sun Tingting!
"The plan can't catch up with the changes, or rather, my own estimation is not so accurate!" Xiao Yao smiled, "Maybe it's my luck, or maybe my acting skills are good, and I don't act like a card counter, or maybe it's because of the billboard, the casino knows that I'm a star, and I think the star shouldn't be able to count cards, anyway, I was discovered by the casino much later than I expected." The longer it lasts, the more I will win, and if I can win more, I have no reason to withdraw early? I don't plan to make money from this, and I will go to the casino again in the future. ”
"I'm glad you're back with all your beards and tails. Sun Tingting seemed to have palpitations and said, "Twenty million, enough for how many professional killers and professional kidnappers to invite!"
"Hey, you've watched too many gangster movies, haven't you?" Xiao Yao said funny, "Even if you kill me, you won't be able to get the money back." As for the kidnapping, they already know who I am, even if I didn't win money in the casino, I can ask for a ransom of 20 million if I am kidnapped. But I was kidnapped at Fashion Week, and a group of bandits with automatic rifles who robbed the fashion week show didn't do anything, who would try it easily? What's more, for a few days in between, Tim accompanied me to many casinos, and as long as I had the heart, I could find out Tim's identity. Who would dare to take a fellow FBI's senior agent and divisional middle manager lightly?"
This issue was discussed between the two before leaving, and Sun Tingting seemed to be persuaded by Xiao Yao at that time. But it seems that being persuaded does not mean that Sun Tingting completely agrees. Xiao Yao also knew this, so he could only put forward a bunch of reasons to explain it again.
"Okay, you always have a point!" Sun Tingting said helplessly.
The two talked all the way and soon arrived home. Of course, Sun Tingting couldn't send Xiao Yao home and leave, so she entered the gate of the Xiao family's villa with Xiao Yao.
Although Xiao Yao lives in Shencheng, he still has the key to the house. Xiao Yao didn't knock on the door, and opened the door with the key.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Xiao Yao shouted loudly when he entered the house.
Although his parents didn't come to the airport to pick him up, Xiao Yao knew that they knew that they were coming back today, and they must be at home at this time.
"Stinky boy, are you finally willing to come back?" Xiao Yao was not greeted by his parents' welcome and greetings, but a slightly dissatisfied question from the living room.
Xiao Yao smiled indifferently, put the luggage by the door, and pulled Sun Tingting towards the living room.
Xiao Yao heard that Ye Jiaying said the sentence just now, but Ye Jiaying was not the only one in the living room. In addition to Xiao Yao's father Xiao Siqi, Sun Tingting's parents Sun Zhihao and Hu Xuena actually sat on the sofa in the Xiao family's living room. /3_3635/
