Chapter 575: What Did You Say?!
"Well, if you really want any advice from me, Edward, my advice is, never make Lena angry!" After chatting for a while, when Davis asked Sean for advice, he said very solemnly.
"You don't have to worry, Sean, I'll never give Lena a chance to get angry." Davis replied in a serious tone with a straight face.
Obviously, he took Sean's words as a warning to his fiancΓ©e's brother, but Sean was actually hinting at how terrible Liana would be when she was angry, and he knew this very well. As for the admonition to Davis, it is not Sean's responsibility at all, his parents will naturally handle this matter properly, and with Liana's ability, he doesn't need to care at all, if he really wants to worry, it is better to worry that Davis will fall to the point where he was when he got married.
Of course, in addition to that, Sean felt that Davis was not bad, and although the familiarity with each other was only average, he still knew something about it. He likes to play golf, like to drink wine, and like to watch movies and comics, although there have been several women, he is not a playboy like Sean, and he is generally very easy to get along with.
And, although he has to take over his own business, he has also made some good investments, especially in the IT industry, such as MySpace, which was founded earlier than Facebook. Sean thinks that the people who can jump out of the family business β even if it's just a little bit β and achieve something are the kind of people who know what to do and when.
Admittedly, this is a bit of a gold sticker on his face, but Sean thinks so from his own point of view.
Without mentioning this, they chatted a few more words and said some gossip about the set of "The Dark Knight", and Sean immediately used the excuse of chatting in the past to beckon Davis to go to Liana and Zoe who were talking.
It's a pity that he can't stop Liana from instilling something in Zoe tonight, and when he and Davis just walked up to Liana and them, before they could say hello, a voice that they didn't want to hear came to their ears: "Sean! β
Sean rolled his eyes in front of his sister without concealing it, and then turned his head away with a straight face: "What's the matter, Dad?" β
"Come to my study." At the door of the living room, the father left as usual with a word, as if the person who heard it must copy it immediately.
With a silent sigh, and under Liana's gloating and Zoe's inexplicable gaze, Sean left the living room and descended the stairs to the study.
He knocked on the door according to the rules, and only after hearing the sound of "come in" did he push the door in, and then asked in a respectful and unfamiliar tone, "Is there anything wrong with me, Dad?" β
The father didn't answer immediately, he turned his back to Sean, and seemed to be looking at something on the table, which from Sean's point of view, he should be looking at a picture frame.
After a moment, my father snapped the frame against the table, turned his head and said in the same somewhat detached tone, "Come in first." β
Sean shrugged his shoulders and closed the door casually when he came in, in his opinion, his father's movements were redundant, even if he didn't see it, he could guess that the photo in the frame was either his own, or a photo of the whole family.
I always like to do this, to keep things in my heart, and to put on a look like I'm all in control. Sean sighed inwardly. But then again, when I was in front of my father, I always liked to expose this, and I still used it in a very awkward way, is it really not very mature?
Just as he was thinking wildly, his father, who had been silent for a few seconds, finally spoke again: "What are you going to do now?" β
"What to do and how?" Sean didn't turn a corner in his head.
"Your children, your wife, what are you going to do? Or do you want to tell me that you didn't think about it at all?! The father involuntarily raised his voice, but he immediately realized this, so he immediately slowed down his tone at the end, "It has a lot to do with your life, your image on the outside. β
Sean raised his eyebrows and immediately snorted: "I don't think this will cause any shocking reactions, this kind of thing is very common in Hollywood." β
Then, he also felt that his tone seemed to be a little excessive, so he immediately added: "Anyway, it's like this now, until a perfect solution is found, we can only keep it going." β
The father frowned: "No problem has a perfect solution, and if you are always so timid, then there will never be a time to solve it." β
Although the tone was a little stiff, it didn't have the aggressive flavor of the past, but Sean didn't appreciate it very much: "Really? Does this seem to be inconsistent with what you said before? β
"What did I say before?" Father's brow furrowed even deeper.
"When I was in 8th grade, I basically got all my A's, only C- in math, and you didn't say at that time that nothing was perfect." Sean spread his hands.
"That's when you need more push." The father's tone was tinged with dissatisfaction.
"But more encouragement is needed!" Sean replied in an equally disgruntled tone.
"Are you accusing me?" Father's face became ugly.
"I'm just stating the facts!" Sean refuses to show weakness.
There was silence in the room, and the father and son, as always, you look at me and I look at you, but they didn't speak, and after a while, they were broken by Sean on his own initiative: "Okay, so be it, I'll figure out my own affairs, no matter what the result is, it's my business, my own business." β
Saying that, he stood up, strode out, and stopped again when he reached the door: "I hope you understand, Dad, that I am twenty-seven years old, and that I can take any responsibility for my actions!" β
Then he walked out without looking back, and there was no sound behind him, until he was far away, and he heard a faint sigh that seemed to be nothing.
Sean couldn't help but sigh, there is no doubt that the confrontation with his father will continue for a long time, who makes each other refuse to admit their mistakes and admit defeat? Many times, under the washing of time, you will find it very ridiculous when you turn your head to look at the original contradictions, but when you are in them, you will find that it is impossible to avoid conflicts. Every father wants to control the direction of his children, and every child wants to get rid of his father's influence, the difference is only in the scale, and Sean, who is a human being in two lives, is naturally very sensitive in this regard, so ......
Of course, Sean doesn't feel that he is primarily responsible, at least he has never taken the initiative to provoke trouble since he went out independently, most of it is because his father thinks that he has not done a good job here and is very bad there. However, after the conversation just now, he suddenly felt that it was nothing, his father could not admit his mistake first, and he would not be the first to succumb, but so what? If there is another trouble at the beginning, my father will still try his best to help, and if something happens to the family, he will also try his best to help, this is the family, isn't it?
"I'm ready for a long time to resist the war, Dad, I don't know if you're ready?" Sean snorted, with an indescribable ...... Proud.
But when he got to the living room, the conversation was over, and he sighed depressedly, so he had to go back to the bedroom to find Zoe to see if he could get anything out of her mouth.
"Just talking about something about you when you were a kid, what else can you say?" Zoe replied after shrugging his question.
Of course, Sean wouldn't really believe it, he had seen Zoe's out-of-the-box thinking, and if Liana really instigated her to do something, she wouldn't have said it. However, Sean was not stupid enough to ask directly, but only chatted a few words later, and asked in a casual way, which should not have aroused Zoe's alarm.
But then he couldn't go any further, as Zoe quickly steered the conversation in the other direction: "Lena is getting engaged on New Year's Day, you know?" β
"Yes, and it is very likely that the marriage will be consummated by July next year." Sean said casually, regretting it.
Sure enough, Zoe immediately leaned over and looked at him with gray-blue expectant eyes: "What about us?" β
"Well...... Sean laughed dryly, although he verbally promised Zoe that he would give her a wedding - if he didn't say yes - he didn't think much about it in his heart. I always thought that if this kind of thing dragged on for a while, I was afraid that Zoe herself would forget about it, but I didn't expect that because Liana was going to get engaged and married, she would care more about this.
"At least until Lena gets married?" Zoe didn't force him, just sighed and said.
"I'll think about it, I'll think about it seriously." Sean made a swear look, and then quickly changed the subject, "By the way, do you have a film appointment recently?" I've found a good script and I think you're a good fit. β
"Oh? What's the story? Zoe was immediately intrigued.
"A love story, which fits your temperament very well, is called "500 Days with Shamo"......" Sean immediately told it, and then sighed in his heart.
It's just that, even so, he still couldn't coax Zoe to bed, at most allowing him to sleep with him in his arms. But this is not the worst, the worst thing is that after getting up the next day, it was actually seen by Liana.
"Didn't you take the opportunity to make another child?" After breakfast, Liana asked with a wicked smile.
"We're not going to have a baby yet." Sean didn't bother to argue with her, and an opponent who said that if he didn't win, he might flip the table, which was full of food.
"Are you sure Alexander and Suri are your children?" Seeing his demeanor, Liana rolled her eyes, and then provoked another topic.
"Hey, Lena, don't talk nonsense." Sean immediately glared at her in displeasure.
But Liana didn't pay attention to it: "It's better to do a paternity test, it's very simple, and it can be reassuring." β
Sean didn't bother to give her a roll of the eyes, turned around and left, seeing that Liana who had not succeeded in flirting with her, immediately raised her voice and shouted: "It's really simple, scrape a swab in your mouth with a cotton swab, and you can extract cells for identification, if you are faster, they won't find it at all." β
"Shut up...... What did you say! β
