Chapter 405: Here it is
Naomi's pregnancy talk ends with the cake being burnt, and she doesn't mention it again, much to Sean's brief relief. But this is just the beginning, a woman's pregnancy is a very troublesome thing, not to mention the maintenance of the fetus, although it is only about two weeks, the baby's bedroom and various supplies must also be prepared, and the work must be adjusted.
Most of these need Sean to figure out, who made him the father of the child? Although Naomi didn't say that she asked him to raise him together, although Sean was still a little uncalm and worried, out of instinct and ...... I don't want to lose to my father's subconscious, and I still have to bear the responsibility. Thankfully, most of these problems can be solved with money, such as hiring a maid to take care of her all day – not yet – contacting the hospital for regular check-ups, finding ways to secure the baby, and urging Naomi to do the same, knowing that she is basically an advanced maternal age.
Problems that can be solved with money are not problems, and Sean is now considered a rich man, but there are some problems that money can't solve, such as not being able to tell others about it. The women don't talk about it, even if it's Jordana or Kate, it's hard to say how their hearts will change after hearing it, let alone Katie and Zoe.
As for Galen and them, Sean can basically sketch in his head what their mouths look like when they hear the news, and the stammering voice: "You...... You're going to be a dad?! ”
Then, what followed was definitely a big laugh, absolutely yes, especially if the pregnant object of Zhilu Dao was still Naomi, the two guys would only laugh even harder. It was irritating just thinking about it, and Sean couldn't shut them up, so it was better to keep it to heart for the time being.
Actually, if he could, he would still like to tell some people about it, such as-
"I'm talking to you, Sean, you should be listening instead of getting distracted!" The father who sat at the top said in a stern tone.
Glancing at his mother, who was a little helpless, and his sister who didn't hear anything, and the turkey on the table, Sean could only shrug his shoulders when he put away his thoughts: "I've been listening, Dad." ”
He put down the knife and fork in his hand and said in a casual tone: "I don't think there is anything wrong with this, these billions are earned by me, and I can naturally arrange them at will." ”
"That's just a stock, and it's not the same as the actual value." Father immediately snorted coldly, looking down on him, "Suddenly gaining a huge fortune, and then squandering it at will, and finally losing it in a short period of time, this kind of thing often happens, I have lived in San Francisco with your mother for so many years, and I have seen not seven or eight examples, but four or five." ”
Aside from the last ten years, how much time have you spent at home? Hearing Sean, who gritted his teeth and jumped straight up, thought so, although he knew that this was correct, as long as it came out of his father's mouth, he couldn't help but want to refute.
But he didn't say much after all, not all because of the eyes of his mother and sister, but simply because of his ...... It doesn't help. It's very depressing to say, after Google listed his net worth skyrocketed, he proudly told his family by phone, and asked his sister to tell his father, so he didn't have to say much. However, to his surprise, his father didn't react at all, according to the news from his sister, he just snorted heavily after seeing and hearing Sean's news, but he didn't say anything, how could this be?!
According to Sean's thoughts, no matter how calm his father is, he must at least be surprised, this is only six years after he graduated from high school, counting now. Although the restaurant group run by his father has good benefits, it has a market value of about 5 billion, and his personal net worth is much less, so he can't compare with him in any case.
So Sean believed it anyway, and thought that Liana was lying to himself, of course, he didn't show it, otherwise the "stingy" Liana would definitely find a way to give him a good look.
So when Thanksgiving came, Sean went home more actively than ever, wanting to taste the fruits of victory. However, he was greeted with disappointment, and when he was a little ostentatious about how he fell in love with Google in the first place, his father came directly and began to be complacent about this achievement?
Sean wanted to reply at the time, at least more than you, but in front of his family, he still couldn't say this kind of thing, so he had to swallow his anger and listen to him count, just like now.
"I've never had a good Thanksgiving dinner, and a Christmas dinner, and I'm fed up!" After finishing the meal, Sean complained loudly in front of Liana.
"Do you look like anything now, Sean?" Liana laughed loudly, "When I was about three years old, I snatched my toys from the poor little one. ”
Sean glared at his sister for a long time before he snorted angrily, and then gritted his teeth and whispered: "If he finds out that he is going to be a grandfather, I don't know if Lu Dao can be so casual!" ”
"What are you talking about?" Liana immediately leaned over and asked.
"I'm saying, I hope he can stay so calm." Sean rolled his eyes.
"Okay, Sean," Liana put away her smile and softened her tone a lot, "although Dad didn't show up, he was actually very proud of you, and he looked at the story about you in Fortune, and he would smile when his neighbors talked about you." ”
"I didn't see that." Sean grinned, "And, I'm sure when people compliment me, the most he'll say, 'It's okay.'" ”
Seeing his appearance, Liana didn't say much, and then changed the topic: "So, have you considered investing in other industries, Monopoly?" Recently, I want to start my own business. ”
"Unfortunately, I don't have any investment plans at the moment, and you know, stocks can't be equated with actual value," Sean shrugged, "and I think if you really want to do that, go out and whistle, there must be a lot of people rushing to invest in you." ”
"Sounds like I have a dog."
"No, you are a dog trainer, as long as you stand forward, as long as you know that you are powerful, you will definitely obey and listen to your command."
"But the problem is that there is a disobedient one in front of me."
"Why should you listen to your own kind?"
"Your mouth is very good at talking, Sean, you probably have itchy skin lately, haven't you?!"
"Wait, there's something to say!"
After a disappointing but happy Thanksgiving at home, Sean was getting ready to go back to Los Angeles, in fact, he could have stayed a few more days, and although his father's indifference made him gnash his teeth a little, his mother was as gentle as ever - it would be better if he didn't nag.
Like all mothers in the world, she has to care about his private life, because in early November, Sean and Jessica each issued statements announcing their peaceful breakup.
This has already been decided, and the rhetoric has been unified, anyway, their agents are Frederick, which is very convenient, for example, they are separated because of irreconcilable contradictions with each other, and they are still friends when they are separated, etc.
Of course, these are all excuses, and the media also know that this is an excuse, and they know that Shaun and Jessica know that this is an excuse, and they also know that Shaun and Jessica know that they know that this is an excuse, and they can still publish it, because the public doesn't know about it.
Mother is obviously also a member of the public at this time, so she is a little puzzled, how can they break up, after all, Sean personally admitted that they were dating.
Sean naturally couldn't say that he was acting from beginning to end, so he could only fool the past, so his mother had to nag a few words to tell him not to be too careful.
Even if Sean loves his mother very much, he can't stand her nagging like this, and at the same time, he was depressed and almost told Naomi about her pregnancy several times, so after thinking about it, let's go back to Los Angeles early, just have an excuse.
"The Aviator" has been confirmed to be released on December 17 for Christmas, and the most post-publicity has begun, Sean has to participate as the leading actor, and he has to prepare for the premiere, and the media has begun to sing about it again.
As I said before, although with the listing of Google, Sean's net worth skyrocketed, and he basically became the richest actor in Hollywood, so that the media did not dare to act rashly.
But when they come to their senses and find out the details of him again, they will attack again, and the current situation is the best example.
"This is Martin? Scorsese's first work with an investment of more than 100 million will also become his most failed work, and Sean, who has been smooth sailing since his debut? Don will also make a big mistake because of this. "There are critics who have predicted so boldly.
As for the reason, no, well, a few months ago the singing of the decline would have given at least some specious reasons, and now it is not even given. Although every time the movie is about to be released, there will always be people who jump out and talk such nonsense, but this time it is too strange, maybe someone will indicate it in the back, at least Sean has thought of a candidate.
Of course, he has no evidence, so let's wait for the release of the movie, and then we will naturally see, at least in terms of internal test screenings, the film has received good reviews.
However, the evaluation of the internal test screening cannot be fully trusted, otherwise Fox would not have sold the distribution rights of "Titanic" in North America to Paramount, because they felt that no one would go to see such a love movie during the internal test screening, but I don't know if they regretted it afterwards.
For example, just a week ago, "Ocean's Twelve" was released in more than 3,000 theaters across the United States and received $40 million in the first week. To be honest, Sean was still very surprised by this, after all, this movie only started filming this year, and it was actually released at the end of the year, it seems that Soderbergh is editing while shooting.
It's just that although the box office is good, compared with the first part, this one's reputation is much worse, and many critics have said that the story is too messy and the characters are too fragmented, except for the plot of Julia playing Julia, which is surprising, the others are lackluster.
Even so, as a movie released on Christmas, "Ocean's Twelve" is still very qualified, which puts a lot of pressure on "The Aviator" that follows closely.
