Chapter 33: Parental Advice
"Andy, did you pick up a suitcase full of dollars when you went to exercise in the morning and made you happy like this?" Alina came out of the kitchen with breakfast and saw Andy with a smile on his face as he just entered the door, so she joked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Mom, do you think I'll take it home if that's the case, I'm sure I'll hand it over to the police, but I did have a happy encounter." Andy walked towards his room, ready to take a shower, and he responded to his mother's joke.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you just now, I have had breakfast, you don't have to wait for me, I won't eat breakfast at home in the future." Andy came out of the shower and scratched his head a little embarrassed to see Alina and George still waiting for him at the table.
"Oh my God, Mom and Dad, you guys are so beautiful today, you don't look like 50-year-olds at all, if you don't know you, you'll think you're only in your 30s." Andy looked at George and Alina a little unhappy and hurriedly patted his ass, of course, his parents did look young due to good maintenance, but they were not as exaggerated as he said.
Alina and George looked at each other, looking sorry and still praising their son, and the resentment that had been with their son who had breakfast every day had made the idea of not being together in the future was gone, knowing that they were able to be with their son on the holidays or on the weekends.
"Okay, Andy, it's just your mom's loungewear for me and you, we wore it the other day, why didn't you compliment us at the time?" George looked at his son, who was still talking there, and directly demolished him.
"Ahh That one... Andy froze in embarrassment, but seeing the smile on his parents' faces, he knew they had forgiven him, so he walked over and poured milk for them.
"Tell me, my son, what did you do this morning, I'm sure something must have happened, or you wouldn't have eaten breakfast out, and you're going to eat out later without us?" Dressed in loungewear, like a woman in her 40s, Alina discovered that today's Andy is different from the past with maternal intuition.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, I met a beautiful girl this morning, she also does sports in Central Park every day, by the way, she's also your alumnus, she's so charming, so erudite, and I have a lot of things to say about her," Andy said as he really felt in his heart under the gaze of his parents, knowing that he was still a little reluctant to part with Angelina Jolie.
"So she's a college student, and she's at NYU, do you know how old she is?" Alina is really a bit of a headache about her son's relationship problems, you must know that he already has a girlfriend, and there is more than one.
"I only know that she is a college student, and she is also studying in the film department like your mother, and I didn't ask about her age, which is too rude." Andy replied.
"Okay, so you know her name, right?" George asked as he looked up as he ate his breakfast.
"Of course I know, Dad, you don't think I'm a fool, I don't even know my name after breakfast with someone, her name is Angelina Jolie." Andy answers his father's question while making a look that you think I'm a fool of.
"Angelina Jolie, that's a familiar name, I think I've heard it somewhere." Alina said with some confusion.
George also stopped his movements, the name also felt a little familiar to him.
"She's an actress, but she doesn't seem to have made any famous movies yet, but I know she's going to be a big star." Andy affirms that his knowledge of Angelina Jolie comes from later generations.
"I know who Angelina Jolie is, Jon Voight's daughter, her parents divorced when she was 1 year old, and she is also the goddaughter of Maximi Leanne Scheer, and although she has a father of two Oscars, it seems that she has not achieved much in film at the moment." Alina finally remembered who the girl in Andy's mouth was, you must know that as a film critic and producer, she has been in this circle for so many years and has a very wide network. …,
"I seem to have heard of it, but the girl seems to be... George looked at his wife with some uncertainty.
"She used drugs, and at a party someone used to mock Jon Voight." Alina answered her husband's question, looking at Andy with stern eyes.
"You know what, Andy, and as far as I know, she seems to have a boyfriend." Although Alina doesn't want to interfere too much in her son's love life, she still has her position on major issues of right and wrong.
"Mom, Dad, don't be biased, okay? Was that her fault? That's her parents' fault, if it were someone else's parents divorced since childhood, living in that kind of environment, and having to live in a different perspective with the title of the actor's daughter, I think everyone would be confused, I said, she has quit now, as for what you said about her boyfriend, I don't think that's what I heard from her mouth, then the damn Brit thinks he's a star, and all women have to fall in love with him? If Angelina Jolie doesn't associate with him, he will use his friends in the circle to suppress her, and he also asks Angelina Jolie to marry him, which is disgusting to me!! Andy shouted a little uncontrollably, knowing that in his previous life, another reason why he was infatuated with Angelina Jolie was that she adopted many orphans and often did charity, he thought that a kind person could not be bad even if he was bad, and he even envied the adopted children at that time.
"Okay, okay, Andy, I don't know why you're so excited, and I don't know how you can know so much about that girl in one morning's work, but I think we'll have to talk." Alina's tone also became serious, after so many years in the entertainment industry, she knows the inside story of this circle, so she doesn't want her son to be hurt.
George also stood up at the signal of his wife's eyes and comforted Andy, who was a little excited, and then sat down with a serious face.
"Andy, you heard from your mother that we never interfere in your love life, your father and I will even do our best to help those girls' careers, when you were dating Kelly Brooke, your father also introduced her to many opportunities through his relationship, Beyoncé Gisele North's father has always been grateful to us, because we introduced his daughter to a record label album, as for your other girlfriend, we will help her whenever we have the opportunity, your father and I have always believed that young people's feelings are the purest, The least utilitarian, so we won't look down on the girls you date because they are white or black, good or bad, as long as you like them, we will support you, and we will like those girls. “
Alina glanced at her son, who was listening to her calmly, nodded with satisfaction, organized the wording and continued: "You are still underage, and those girls are also young, so the purest love or love between you is concerned, as for what will happen to you in the future, only God knows, and it is not something that your father and I can predict, but we still hope that even if you are not together in the future, at least you will be friends." ”
Alina paused at this point and asked Andy, "Mom is asking you a word now, do you like that Angelina Jolie?" ”
Andy looked at his mother with a serious expression and thought for a few minutes before answering in the affirmative: "Yes, Mom, although I don't know if it's in love, I like to be with her, I like to listen to her, I like to watch her laugh, and she is very similar to me, the same personality, that kind of struggle for her own goals, I think this is what attracts me to her." ”
Alina and George listened to Andy's serious answer, the expressions on their faces were very tangled, they now found that Andy was a little too fratern, George made a hidden gesture to his wife, motioning for her to continue. …,
"Okay, Andy, as far as we know, Angelina Jolie is at least 6-7 years older than you, of course, this is not a problem, but mom must tell you that the entertainment industry is the dirtiest place in the world, and if you want to succeed, as a woman may have to pay all the price she can, if she doesn't have the strength, even if she pays the price, she will not succeed, even if she is the daughter of an actor." Alina smiled a little sarcastically at this.
Andy looked at his mother with a little curiosity, you must know that in his previous life, although he had also seen the dark side of society, and he had also seen the unspoken rules of the Celestial Empire's entertainment circle on the pervasive Internet, but he always thought that a commercial place like the United States should not be like that, who knew that in his mother's mouth, there was a famous saying of the Celestial Empire, the world is as black as a crow.
Alina looked at the curious Andy, and decided to still pull the words away from Andy, and crumpled it to make it clear: "Your grandfather is the leader of the Chinese community in New York, so your father has a large amount of money to invest in after graduating from school, which is the trust of blood and family, of course, your father's ability is also unquestionable, so more people are willing to give him money to invest." ”
Speaking of this, Alina looked at her husband, who was very proud to raise his head in Andy's adoring gaze, and smiled, "As for your mother and me, you must know that I inherited a large inheritance from your grandmother, and your grandfather helped a lot of Youtai people in World War II, and Youtai people have a lot of energy in the American entertainment industry, and your mother and I are very accurate, so it has also achieved success, as for your godfather, although he is a good director now, even if his father is a senior executive of Warner, He also needed to get an investment from me to make his first film, and of course he succeeded. ”
Alina stopped to drink black tea when she said this, enjoyed a moment of her son's adoring eyes and continued: "Although in the United States, although a movie needs several confirmations to select a role, there are still many women who are willing to sleep with those directors or well-known actors or be their lovers in order to become famous, hoping to get their help and get the opportunity to become famous, of course, this is all voluntary, no one can force anyone, and in the United States, the most important thing is a woman with a beautiful face and talent, in order to become famous, They are willing to give everything they can, but some succeed, and some continue to be unknown, even reduced to making erotic movies or being strippers, so Andy, are you sure that Angelina Jolie didn't approach you with a purpose? ”
"Mom, I'm sure she's not that kind of person, we just met by chance in Central Park, she didn't even know who I was at the time, although I introduced myself later, but she wasn't one of those girls in high school who would sleep with me for the envy of others, and she couldn't get anything from me." Andy said a little self-deprecatingly.
Alina and George covered their foreheads at the same time, and now they realized that they were usually too protective of their son, and he didn't realize his own value and the energy of the family at all.
Alina glanced at her husband helplessly, and continued to say to Andy: "Andy, you are now the idol of teenagers in the United States, and you are the darling of newspapers and magazines, if it weren't for me and your father who turned down a lot of interview and advertising invitations in order not to affect your life, your exposure would be higher now, and I, your father and your godfather can use our relationship to make a popular person at any time, and even make a movie for her alone, we don't want to interfere with your feelings, just worry that you will be hurt, Do you know? ”
Andy deeply felt his parents' love for him from his mother's words, but he still didn't want to change his mind, he dreamed of having a pure relationship in his previous life, he had already been hit by reality, and now he heard the dark side of these societies from his mother's mouth, so he could only sigh that no matter what time and what world everything is relative, the story of the prince and Cinderella will only happen in fairy tales, if it is in the real world to the end of the ending must be unfortunate. …,
"Mom, Dad, I'm not going to let anyone hurt me or my family, I promise, as for Angelina Jolie, I don't think she's like that, even if she is, I won't let her hurt me!" Andy looked at his parents and said categorically.
"Well, Andy, your dad and I will support all of your decisions, but if you can invite that girl over to dinner at our house, your dad and I would like to get to know her too." Alina looked at Andy with a confident face and still made a final effort, she wanted to see with her own eyes what kind of girl Angelina Jolie was, which fascinated Andy so much.
"Okay, Mom, I'll talk to her tomorrow morning, I hope she'll agree." Andy said happily as he saw that his mother finally stopped objecting to his relationship with Angelina Jolie.
"Andy, whatever happens to you and that girl in the future, don't hurt Beyoncé Gisele North, knowing that my father and I are good friends now." George still reminded him.
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't let the people who love me get hurt either." Andy replied in the affirmative.
Alina and George could only helplessly watch their son stop saying anything, they had already said what they wanted to say, and for their only son, such an excellent son, they couldn't ask him more.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going out to buy a soccer ball, and I'll run with the ball when I run in the future, I think that will improve my ankle flexibility." Andy saw that his parents didn't say anything, so he took care of him and went out.
"Alina, do you think our son is too emotional, and he won't become a playboy if he continues like this?" George muttered a little worriedly.
"No matter what he becomes in the future, he is also our son, I only hope he can have a good love!" Alina looked at her husband with burning eyes.
The topic of Andy continues between the husband and wife, and Andy, who has already gone out, is still walking the streets of Manhattan and still has a headache about whether she will agree to invite Angelina Jolie...
