Chapter 180: Family
The sudden, almost stormy roar made Sean stunned for several seconds, how...... It's not the same as saying haode.
But he reacted quickly, and then rolled his eyes in his heart, what Liana said on the phone before, the so-called father also wanted him back, but I was afraid that she made it up in order to let him go back. No wonder he hung up after saying that, he was worried that he would talk too much and let him find some flaws, right? Damn, fooled again.
"I'm so sorry, I'm coming back to see my mother." Sean shrugged, rolled his eyes, and strode towards the villa with his travel bag.
Standing in front of the bushes, the old man in his early fifties, with a rather square face, who looked a little oriental, and whose facial features were vaguely similar to Sean's, snorted heavily, as if he wanted to continue, and the barking of the dog suddenly sounded. The two sheepdogs came out of the nearby grass one after another, they first looked at Sean curiously, followed the legs and jumped up, if it wasn't for Sean's preparation, maybe the two big guys would have pounced on the ground.
"Hey, rhubarb, Erhuang, you still recognize me after a long time." Sean happily took the two big dogs in his arms.
The two big dogs rubbed on him affectionately, barking twice from time to time, and sticking out their tongues to lick him, and then they seemed to smell something, and immediately raised their barks in dissatisfaction. Sean knew that they must have smelled Polk, and that the two big dogs in the family had a very bad habit of bullying those who were smaller than them.
Although it is not an offensive act, it is still possible to play tricks on the side of the catch, so if a visitor with a dog comes, they will usually be kicked out. So Sean didn't bring Pock back, otherwise the poor little who was already bullied by Lucy would have been even more miserable.
"Hear this stupid name again." A voice came from behind, with considerable dissatisfaction.
Sean rolled his eyes, it was his freedom to name the dog, but then again, "bigyellow" and "twoyellow" sounded weird as Americans were used to, and he had called them the two big dogs just for fun.
Regardless of this, after arriving at the door with two sheepdogs, Sean noticed that there was a pickup truck parked here, and the door at the back was open, and there were some wrapped things inside. No wonder the doors are so open, I don't know who bought the big items, and the store is delivering to the door.
"Xiexie, lads, Xiexie, your perfect service." As soon as he entered the hall of the villa, a familiar voice reached Sean's ears, and then a fat, short, middle-aged woman in her forties walked towards the door.
"That's what we're supposed to do, ma'am." A few young men in overalls who followed her said in a modest tone.
Before Sean could say hello, he noticed that his middle-aged woman had already exclaimed, "God, Sean! β
"It's me, Aunt Shirley, how are you?" Sean smiled and opened his arms, "You're still so energetic." β
"I can't believe you're finally back!" Aunt Shirley hugged him big, and she was so excited that she burst into tears, "You didn't say a word, you left a letter and went to Los Angeles, do you know how worried I am?" β
"Yes, I know, I'm sorry for my actions. But you know, Auntie, if I did, I wouldn't have been able to go. Sean said reassuringly, then shrugged his shoulders at the young men.
They've probably done it, nodding understandingly, and leaving with a smile.
"That's ......" Aunt Shirley sighed, and then remembered something, and shouted, "By the way, Mr. Tang is outside, you just ......"
"I've met it, and I've been reprimanded," Sean sighed, "It's the same as before, nothing has changedβby the way, what about my mother?" β
"Madame is upstairs, oh, I don't know how happy she would have been if she knew you were back." Aunt Shirley said excitedly, "I just got a new cupboard today, and then you're back, it's great this Thanksgiving." β
"Then I'll go see my mom first, and please put the luggage in my bedroom, okay?" Sean then handed his travel bag to the housekeeper.
After letting the two dogs honestly lead downstairs, Sean went down the spiral staircase to the second floor, and came to the door of his mother's room in a few steps, but when he reached out to knock on the door, he hesitated.
How so? Hi Mom, I'm back? No, it's too common; Hey ma'am, I'm back? No, it's too frivolous; Sorry, Mom, I'm coming back late? Again, no, too serious; How are you doing, Mom? Oh hell, Mom is not an outsider.
Just as he was scratching his ears and cheeks, the door in front of him suddenly opened, and then an exclamation sounded. The middle-aged woman in front of her looked at herself in a daze, she was very well maintained, if she only observed it with the naked eye, she would not get more than forty-two, with brown curly hair, graceful demeanor, with an indescribable gentle and noble temperament.
"Sean?" She asked, somewhat uncertain.
With this, Sean smiled, threw all the things he had considered before into his mind, and hugged each other with open arms: "Happy Thanksgiving, Mom." β
"Happy Thanksgiving, Sean." Alice replied with a smile, and although she was a little excited, she didn't show it very obviously.
"You look a lot more mature." Touching her son's face, the mother said with emotion, "Although you always say that you work on the phone, I also know that you have suffered a lot." β
"If people want to grow, they always have to suffer a lot." Sean said subconsciously, and then his face changed slightly.
"Did you see your dad?" Alice, perceiving something, asked.
"As always, he is outside trimming his beloved bushes, and he can't see them without seeing them." Sean shrugged helplessly, then changed the subject, "Don't talk about me being mature anymore, didn't I be immature before?" β
"Well, let's not mention that," the mother laughed, beckoning him downstairs, "tell me more about your job, Sean, how does it feel to be a star?" Frankly, I don't really think you're going to be an actor, even though Hollywood is in Los Angeles and you loved acting in school, I always feel like you prefer to try all sorts of things. β
"Yes, Mom, I didn't think about it either, but...... "Anyway," Sean said with a grin as he walked, "there was nothing else to go but this road. β
By the time Aunt Shirley brought refreshments to the living room, Sean had already told him about his experience in the past two years. Of course, some things are still vague, such as the hardships they have endured, such as the setbacks they have suffered again and again, such as those women.
Rao is like this, and Aunt Shirley sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect Sean to go through so many things, oh, it's completely different from two years ago, and he's already a big star in Hollywood." It's called ...... Well...... after the release of the movie "The Genius Ripley", there were posters of you everywhere, which surprised many people and called to ask about you. β
Then she smiled mysteriously: "And many of them are young girls." β
Sean immediately coughed in embarrassment, scratched his head and looked away like a teenager with a "I don't know anything" look.
"Alright, Shirley," Alice smiled and touched Sean's head lovingly, "You're so proud of me, Sean, the little boy who always keeps his mouth flat looking for his mother, and has started to have a career of his own." β
"Of course, I'm already a well-known actor in Hollywood, and I've made a couple of good investments, and in a few years I'll probably be a billionaire." Sean said deliberately in a triumphant tone.
"It's okay to be complacent," the mother shook her head with a smirk, then looked at him with interest, "tell me more about what you've been through, I know you've been too simplistic." β
Mother's perceptive gaze seemed to say, "I know that there are many things that you have fooled you through." Sean grabbed his head and didn't know how to speak, but fortunately his sister and father came in from outside.
"You're all back? I thought you were going to wait until tomorrow. Liana looked a little surprised, but her smile was obvious.
"If I come back tomorrow, I won't be able to get used to it by night." Sean stood up and shrugged.
"You can choose not to come back." A hard sentence came from the side, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.
Sean raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, his mother had already stood up: "Tony! β
The father immediately closed his mouth, dropped the sentence "I'm going to change clothes" and left, and the mother sighed, patted Sean's arm again, and then chased away.
"That's it, father wants you back, huh?" Sean walked over to Liana and snorted softly.
"If not, will you come back?" Liana asked with a grin, not at all guilty.
"So, that's what you want to see now?" Sean asked dissatisfied.
"Anyway, you were planning to sneak Mom to Los Angeles and leave me with Dad, and we're settled." Liana shrugged and headed upstairs, "I'm going to change my clothes too." β
Sean snorted again, a little silly, but at the same time sighed.
Soon, night fell, and for more than two years, it was rare for the family to sit down for dinner together...... I didn't talk much, but my father occasionally asked my sister about a company or two, which was a little dull.
"I've read the report, Linna, it's generally okay, but there are still a few key points, come to my room after dinner and take the report back, and then write a new one according to my approval." After Aunt Shirley brought the soup up, her father said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Haode, Daddy." Liana shrugged indifferently.
Sean, who saw it in his eyes, shook his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched downward, as if he was a little disdainful.
"By the way, Sean, I heard you called Galen and them to Los Angeles too?" The mother spoke up at this point.
