Night, Manhattan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Taylor strolls through Central Park with a heavy guitar on his back.
"Journalists, newspapers, these nasty guys!" A small pebble was kicked away by her and hit the garbage can on the side of the road with a snap, startling a homeless man who was rummaging through the garbage, "Hey, sorry, I ......"
The ragged homeless man just glanced up and continued to rummage through the trash in front of him, Taylor opened his mouth, sighed irritably, and left the place.
From the bar to the home, she needs to cross the entire Central Park, and at the end of each singing, Taylor walks home, and the wind can blow away the smell of cigarettes and alcohol on her body along the way.
It ended late, and when she got home, Scott and Andrea were both at home.
"Baby, why are you carrying a guitar today?" Scott asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I brought it to the school for a show the other day, and now that the show is over, I'll bring it back." Taylor's tone was a little low, in fact she had just resigned from the bar tonight.
Or it was okay to be dismissed, just because some guests discussed the negative news about Xu An in the newspaper, and her words were a little ugly, she had a big fight with several guests, and finally splashed a cocktail on the guest.
Scott heard that his daughter was in a bad mood, and turned his head to look at his wife, and Andrea spread his hands, saying that he didn't know either.
Taylor put the guitar back in her room, then changed her clothes, washed it, and jingled around the house without saying a word, and finally when she finished her shower and was about to go back to the bedroom, Scott stopped her: "Baby, come here, Daddy has something to ask you." ”
Taylor stood on his feet, took a deep breath with his back to his parents, then ripped the corners of his mouth open and sat down on the couch.
Scott and Andrea looked at each other, and then said, "Taylor, do you remember that young man named Xu An?" It's the one you wrote a novel that you recommended to me the other day. ”
Taylor's heart jumped, he glanced at his mother, and then nodded, "Of course, is there any problem, Dad?" ”
"Hmm...... Have you read a newspaper lately? ”
"All I care about is entertainment news, you know, Dad." Taylor said with his hands folded together and with some nervousness.
Andrea looked at her daughter with some concern, she knew more than her husband and understood that her daughter must have known something about recent public opinion.
But Scott only thought that the two were ordinary friends, the kind with whom they didn't have much contact, and he continued: "The newspaper said that the kid attacked his supervisor and was jailed for intentional injury. ”
"Wow......" Taylor tried to surprise herself, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively, "Maybe he had to do it?" ”
"Why?" Scott snorted lightly and said disappreciatively: "Moderate concussion, broken nose bone, tooth loss, this kid is really ruthless, what kind of reason can make him hit such a heavy hand?" It is said that if he hadn't been pulled away by his colleagues, he might have beaten someone to death, without any murder weapon, just with his fists, and I have to say, he was a violent guy! ”
"It could also be that the other party provoked first, deliberately framed him, or racistically discriminated or something, who knows?" Taylor furrowed his eyebrows and said, "It's all possible, Dad, you can't believe the one-sided words in the newspaper, Ann himself hasn't spoken yet!" ”
Scott said sensitively, "You call him Ann? So you still have contact on weekdays? ”
"Of course, the occasional phone call or something." Taylor said casually, "In fact, I also know about that incident, Xu An's supervisor used shoddy means to frame him, saying that he made up fake news, and that fat pig wanted to ruin An's career!" And he also said racist words to Xu An! ”
"Xu An told you?!" Scott is a sturdy man, his face is angular, and his long time in a high position makes him serious and stern, "I've seen a lot of this kind of rhetorical little tricks, does he want to pursue you?" ”
"Daddy!" Taylor shouted dissatisfiedly, "These are true, I didn't tell Xu An to me, I saw it myself, I sat in the audience on the day of the trial, otherwise do you think Andrew's fat pig will be satisfied with this level of punishment?" He is in a loss, he is weak-hearted! In fact, if Xu An hadn't refused to apologize, he wouldn't even have to go to jail, and the judge might have been prepared to sentence him to community labor...... Also, he didn't pursue me! ”
"Just because he doesn't pursue it now doesn't mean he doesn't have this idea!" Scott felt that the situation was more serious than he thought, he pinched his chin and frowned, "Taylor, I know that their family has a deep relationship with House Law Firm, and what those guys are best at is reversing black and white, and you still don't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts." ”
Scott, like every father, was heartbroken by the fear that his daughters would be deceived and that they would be hurt.
But Taylor didn't appreciate it, and she exclaimed, "Mr. Scott! I know Wall Street is a place of deception, but you can't measure everyone by your standards! ”
"Taylor!" Andrea shouted, "You're not allowed to talk to Daddy like that!" ”
Taylor looked at his father, took a deep breath, slowly calmed down, and then whispered, "I'm sorry, Dad, I didn't mean that...... But I'm an adult, and I have the right to choose my friends, I mean, good guy or bad guy, I always have to go through it myself, and then I can grow, don't I? ”
With that, she stood up and went straight back to her bedroom.
In the living room, Scott sat there with some loss, and Andrea sighed and said, "Honey, you shouldn't interfere in her private life too much, our baby has grown up, and she is no longer a child." ”
"But......" Scott pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, he understood the reason, but he couldn't just watch his daughter befriend a violent man, could he?
Even this ordinary friend may develop into a boyfriend!
How could he tolerate such a thing?
God can testify, he just wanted to casually remind his daughter to come today, who would have thought that his daughter's reaction would be so violent?
Andrea is also a little worried, no one will like a violent person, the photos of those women with blue noses and swollen faces seem to be right in front of them, not that Xu An hurts others, and he will definitely hurt his lover in the future, but between lovers, disagreements and quarrels are very common things, when a person is used to solving problems with violence, then who can guarantee that he will not wave his fist at the people around him?
However, unlike Scott, Andrea communicates more with her daughter, and Taylor has told her a lot of things, so she is not like her husband, "Honey, maybe we think too much, that child is not like the person you said, and Catherine and her husband are very good, their child is unreasonably a violent person." ”
Scott opened his mouth and didn't speak, his heart was entangled, he now regretted very much that he had taken Taylor to Xu An's house for a family banquet some time ago.
He didn't know that Xu An and Taylor had known each other before that.

The Scotts' ideas represent the opinions of many people nowadays, a person who is accustomed to solving problems by violent means, and in today's legal society, you can't expect too much from him.
And while Mr. Scott was struggling, the New York Evening News, a reporter named Stanley, bypassed his supervisor and handed over an eight-page press release to the editor-in-chief.
