Chapter 150: Mom
Charlize and Charlotte didn't know that someone was talking about them at this time.
Then again, what can you do if you know?
Who doesn't talk about others behind their backs, and who doesn't talk about others behind their backs?
All you can do is do yourself.
For example, now
"So, this villa is yours, and you're going to rent it to me, right?"
Charlize shook his head directly at Charlotte,
"Then I won't rent. ”
Just now, Charlotte had told her the whole story of the matter, and it was supposed that there should be no problem, but instead
“......”
Looking at the girl's complicated eyes, Charlotte felt a little pain in her head for a moment.
He knew that it was Charlize's closeness phobia again.
Even as a master of deception, Charlotte has nothing to do about this problem that he has not yet solved.
After all, it's impossible for a scammer to cheat even the people around him.
Moreover, he also understands that for some women who emphasize independence, renting their boyfriend's house cheaply will indeed make them have a bad association with dwarves.
At the very least, if both men and women change places, men who do this will definitely be named "eating soft rice".
Luckily, I was prepared!
Charlotte smiled slightly,
"Sally, I'm not done yet! ”
"Misunderstanding?"
Charlize was confused by Charlotte,
"What do you mean?"
"I remember I just said that although it was a super low price, Judy still charged me $100,000, right?"
Charlotte shrugged,
"Do you think I look like I have 100,000 dollars?"
"This ......"
Charlize was stunned.
As mentioned before, in order to keep their distance, neither of them deliberately understood each other's financial situation. But judging from the information Charlize knows, it is really difficult to say whether Charlotte has $100,000 in savings
After all, Charlotte gave up on the Fatal Bend split, and Charlize knew about it;
And now "Happy Death Day" Although the box office exploded, Charlotte, as both director and screenwriter, can get a certain profit. But it will be a few months before the money is in hand.
Of course, after the two films, Charlotte still got the salary as the director and screenwriter.
But the problem is that although the money is not particularly small, Charlotte can't eat and drink, and the cost of living in Los Angeles is not small.
What's more, Charlize also heard him say that he is preparing for the establishment of the studio with Lao Gun and others, which seems to require a lot of expenses......
In other words, Mr. Charlotte Booth, the hot new generation director, is actually similar to a year ago, and he is still a guy with an empty wallet.
"And where did you get your money?"
Charlize was also aroused by Charlotte's curiosity, and temporarily forgot the awkwardness in his heart.
"Are you really not paying, and you're going to talk about it in ten years?"
"Not really. ”
Charlotte shook her head,
"I actually asked the old gun to help pay for it. ”
"Old Gun" Richard Arsenal, Charlotte's best friend and assistant director. Because of his age, he did have more savings than Charlotte. especially
“...... With my help, the old gun has already taken out the division of "Fatal Bend" from the mouth of the new line, and the money can be used to pay for the villa. Therefore"
Charlotte glanced at Charlize,
"Although this villa does belong to me now, until I pay back the money, the control is the old gun. So Sally, it's not me who decided to rent a house for you, it's the old gun!"
“......”
Charlize knew Charlotte was telling the truth.
The old gun did have the money to help pay for it.
And because of Charlotte's friendship with him, coupled with the fact that Charlotte will soon have a share of "Happy Death Day", the old gun should also be happy to pay in advance.
The question is, does it make sense to do so?
Would Jodie Foster, who originally sold the villa to Charlotte at a super low price to repay the favor, mind waiting a few more months for him to pay the bill after his share is received?
Apparently not.
Charlotte tossed so much, for what, Charlize knew.
“...... Is it worth it?"
There was silence for a long time before the girl asked by biting her lip.
"It's worth it!"
At this time, it was obviously impossible for Charlotte to say any other answer. His emotional intelligence hasn't been that low.
“...... Let's go in and have a look!"
In the end, Charlize acquiesced to Charlotte's handling and let go of the awkwardness in his heart.
As for the two of them after looking at the house, all the way to "trial living", by the way, checking the strength of the floor and stairs, that's a later story.
During this period, thanks to the fact that the previous owner Judy had moved all the furniture, Charlize was not moved and accidentally broke the agreement he had made before.
"I'll help you move your things tomorrow!"
Lying on the floor, Charlotte gasped for breath as she said to Charlize, who was still in a blur beside her.
But the girl did not answer immediately, for a long time
"Tomorrow you can accompany me to see my mother, okay?"
Onslaught!
"In your current situation, is it early to go and see her mother?"
The old gun took a sip of beer and frowned as Charlotte analyzed.
When encountering this kind of major event, of course, you have to find some seniors who have experienced the same thing to ask for experience.
As soon as Charlotte sent Charlize home, she went straight to the old gun's residence.
Fortunately, this time the old gun's girlfriend Annika is not there.
The old gun calmly received the guy who had just borrowed a hundred thousand dollars from him.
However, the calm only lasted for a while
After listening to Charlotte's description, the old gun that was drinking the filled beer spewed out directly.
And then there are the words above.
Although he didn't know anything about ghosts, the relationship between Charlize and Charlotte was still in the eyes of Lao Gun, and he also heard Charlotte talk about the girl's "closeness phobia......
"I always feel that this matter will not be as simple as we think!"
"Don't think it's going to be easy!"
Charlotte smiled wryly.
Thinking of the look in Charlize's eyes that was full of expectation and fear, mixed with relief and helplessness, after he finished saying that, he was already very convinced
This "meeting with parents" is absolutely not normal!
So, the next day, when Charlotte followed Charlize to their destination, he easily accepted the unexpected but reasonable location
Malcolm Sanatorium!
Well, at least not Arkham!
Charlotte, who had seen through the essence of the mental hospital here in an instant, thought helplessly.
"You guessed that before?"
Seeing Charlotte's unusually calm expression, Charlize, who had been nervous before coming, couldn't help but ask.
"A little bit!"
Charlotte shrugged.
"What about you"
Looking at Charlize's increasingly tense expression, Charlotte couldn't help but smile.
He stroked the girl's forehead with his hand,
"As someone who can exorcise demons and hunt ghosts, what I like is a girl like you who can cause me trouble!"
“......”
Charlize's tense expression finally relaxed,
"Charlotte, it looks like you're an American after all!"
"What do you mean?"
"I like to die!"
“......”
