Chapter 245 Continuation

Only after they had completed all the registration matters and sat down did Meg wink at Tom and say, "You really seized the opportunity this time, but it's a pity that you didn't kiss me in the right place..."

"No, no." Tom waved his hands, "I just wanted to give her a farewell hug."

"All men will say that their initial intention was pure love." Meg retracted her meaningful smile, "But, you are too risky. As far as I know, Chinese people are more conservative. Even if it is just an ordinary kiss on the cheek, they may misunderstand it."

Especially since they were secretly photographed by reporters hiding in the dark - if there was no such influencing factor, Meg would definitely be happy about Tom's proactive behavior this time.

Even if it weren't for the fact that they had been good friends since childhood and had starred in a teenage movie together, after spending all those days as neighbors, she found that Tom's character was particularly simple and unpretentious among the New York dream chasers she had ever seen.

Those young men and women who dream of becoming famous overnight, after coming to a big city like New York, except for the rare ones who are really lucky enough to get the opportunity and succeed, most of the others are gradually seduced by this prosperous metropolis with all the glamour and lose their original intentions.

To the extent that, when they are frustrated, they often use alcohol, sex, or even illegal drugs to numb the confusion in their hearts, and then continue in this vicious cycle, ending up in a miserable failure.

She herself got the chance to play the leading role in a movie and shoot with GG thanks to Mary, but Tom now seems to have been "abandoned" by Mary and can only fend for himself in the circle.

There are too many temptations from the outside world. Although Tom still maintains his original intention and would rather work to make a living than take on some bad movies with problematic scripts - but how long can this remain unchanged?

Maybe Tom tried hard to stick to his original intention but ended up frustrated, maybe Tom decided to take bad movies and accept the road of being a celebrity, or maybe Tom couldn't stand it anymore one day and chose to flee New York... These are the endings she didn't want to see.

Unfortunately, Mary's recent work focus is clearly in Hong Kong.

One is the benefactor who made her famous, and the other is a good friend she has known for a long time. Although they are a good match in appearance and age, Meg still has a clear idea of ​​which is more important.

"You're putting Mary in a very difficult position by doing this," said Meg, after she had finished laughing, and then she began to accuse with a stern face.

"I really couldn't control myself. She smelled delicious and I didn't have breakfast today..." Tom subconsciously covered his face. To be honest, he couldn't really tell whether it was the desire for love or the desire for food that prompted his action at that time.

Maybe there was also a bit of anger at being ignored and betrayed - the relationship between the two was always vague and confusing, and because of the dance on that summer night, it had added some young people's ambiguous feelings.

However, he had seen his mother's misfortune caused by a wrong marriage, as well as the peace and warmth brought about by a happy marriage, so he fell in love with the idea of ​​getting married as a prerequisite...

"So that's why you gave me a ring as a birthday present?" Meg asked with mixed feelings after hearing his messy thoughts.

Tom waved his hand again: "No, no, I originally wanted to make her a necklace with a pendant, but then I couldn't make it well, so I had to temporarily change it into a bracelet. Then, too much material wasted, so I could only make it into a ring..."

Good job, this guy in front of her has completely destroyed her tolerance for idiots!

"Can you be a little more self-aware?" Just like herself, she had originally thought that this was Mary's 18th birthday gift and she should put more thought into it, but after she found out that she was too disappointed, she quickly took the money and bought a whole set of products from the makeup company that mainly promoted the sweet style of girls...

"Mary once specially designed a wonderful birthday present for me, so I also want to make one for her myself..." Tom explained aggrievedly.

"Okay, you don't have to explain it to me anymore. Try to think about how you are going to explain it to Mary when she comes to New York to see you." Meg was too lazy to pay attention to him. Just as she was about to adjust the back of her chair and close her eyes to rest, the stewardess came up to her gently and said, "Do you want to eat now? The meal you ordered is ready."

"What meal..." Before Meg could finish her puzzlement, Tom had already happily asked the stewardess to serve the meal quickly.

"Mary must have known that I was hungry, so she specially ordered an airplane meal for us!" Tom looked at Meg happily, "When we were hugging, she must have heard the sound of my stomach growling!"

Meg didn't say anything else, but relied on her thin body to force herself to stay a little distance away from the super naive person next to her within the protection range of the seat belt.

So why do people think that blonde sweethearts are big-breasted and dumb? In her opinion, some blonde men are definitely much bigger-breasted and dumber than her...

Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty. While the two good friends on the plane were communicating with each other, Su Yun was in the office, facing two people who came after hearing the news.

"Were you tricked by the paparazzi? For example, they used the wrong technique to take the picture like this..." Chen Baiyang himself had been tricked in this way, so he asked cautiously with a glimmer of hope.

"No, it's true." Before their expressions began to change, Su Yun quickly added, "It was just a very ordinary farewell kiss. Tom and I have known each other for many years."

So this is childhood sweethearts, and you two even played teenage lovers in a movie!

Subconsciously, he chose to forget the fact that he also played the role of Su Yun's brother in that movie. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong, and the more he thought about it, the more he suspected that there was a problem between Su Yun and Tom.

"Don't be like this. I'm already an 18-year-old adult. I just went to a law firm to sign a contract to take over a family fortune worth hundreds of millions. Even if I really want to have a boyfriend, it's normal." Su Yun calmly looked at him, who was almost jumping up and down in anxiety. "I know you are worried about me, but I am already quite mature and will not be cheated by ordinary people."

"But..." Chen Boyang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhang Querong who came over. "Sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you. We just saw the photo in the newspaper and were a little worried about you."

"And Danny and I also went to your private party. If paparazzi want to attack us, it would be difficult for us to collude without asking you first. That's why we came to you today to explain everything clearly."

Hearing his additional words that made his purpose of coming here sound reasonable and justified, Su Yun couldn't help but raise an eyebrow: After all, it was a tacit fact among many people that Chen Boyang was interested in her, and it was not difficult to guess that she would rush over like a little shrew to inquire about the truth as soon as the newspaper was published.

But this time, there were two people coming, so she had a mood of watching the show: Chen Boyang's coming was natural and emotional, but Zhang Querong followed, was it to help his brother, or did he have some hidden thoughts that were unknown to others?

After all, I have enjoyed the benefits of beauty for many years from my childhood to my old age. As I grow older, the once simple friendship and intimacy seem to have a hint of the complexity of love between men and women.

It's not that she can't feel it, but after all, they have known each other for so many years, and it's hard to accept the deterioration of feelings all at once - besides, if only one party is overthinking it, it would be quite embarrassing to say it out loud.

Compared to the straightforward Chen Baiyang, Zhang Querong's thoughts were deeper and more implicit, making it difficult for her to guess. It was as unpredictable as looking at flowers in the fog.

So she had been pretending to be ignorant even though she knew the truth, and she kept the standard three steps of a scumbag: not taking the initiative, not refusing, and not taking responsibility...

Alas, I originally thought that I could test out some people's true attitudes this time, but I didn't expect that I would be able to change the topic to another direction with just a few simple sentences.

Su Yun lost interest and pressed her temples with one hand, pretending to be tired. "I've been very upset recently because of work and newspaper issues. Can you give me some quiet time?"

"I'm sorry, are you feeling unwell?" Chen Boyang asked hurriedly.

"It's not a big deal, I've just been too busy lately and not as energetic as before..." Su Yun smiled softly and added, "Anyway, if paparazzi come and ask you, just say it's a very common farewell kiss between foreign friends and there's no other meaning - after all, I just turned 18 and I don't want any scandal to spread."

"Okay, I understand." Chen Boyang nodded, "If anyone asks, I will definitely help you clarify it!"

Hearing this, Zhang Querong couldn't help but look at his good friend whose thoughts were misguided by a few words, and then looked at Su Yun's seemingly calm demeanor. His thoughts turned several times, and finally turned into a sigh.

I am still too young and playful, so I have no intention of settling down.

Come to think of it - wouldn't it be the same if I were her age?

It is quite normal for a young single girl like Su Yun, who is beautiful, talented and wealthy, to be surrounded by a lot of suitors. Instead of rushing for success which will only lead to failure in the end, it is better to wait and see and wait for the right opportunity. This is the best strategy.

After realizing this, Zhang Querong gave up the idea of ​​continuing to ask questions in a roundabout way, stood up from the sofa, and went to the recording studio with Chen Boyang to continue working.

Looking at their backs as they left together, Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief: There was no problem on her side, but the masses still had to do some explaining.

Hong Kong people have always been clear about what they like and dislike. When they like someone, they will use various nicknames such as BB, Baobao, Darling, etc. to love them deeply. When they hate someone, they will go to great lengths to give them nicknames, which reveals their ruthless and cruel nature.

Especially since Su Yun is a signature figure among Hong Kong female artists and is always worshipped as a "wealthy woman", her popularity among the public is naturally off the charts - many people who saw the news in the newspaper had the same thought in their minds: How could a white pig from outside want to take my juicy cabbage? !

How can this be tolerated!

So, within just one day, Tom, who was once a little famous in Hong Kong as Su Yun's partner and good friend, and whose handsome appearance was very in line with the aesthetic standards of that era, was translated from the standard Hong Kong translation of "Tang Cruise" to the Cantonese-style parody nickname "劏个老鼠"...

Not only did they change their names, but many people also responded to the "Clean Hong Kong" slogan of the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department, the Environmental Health Council and other departments, and joined the "city-wide rat extermination campaign" that had previously been called on various channels but had not attracted many people to participate...

According to incomplete statistics from a certain report, the number of rats killed and the amount of garbage sorted out during the clean-up campaign in Hong Kong this year directly met the number of large containers of garbage required for 20 land reclamation projects.

Wondering why the clean-up campaign in Hong Kong was going so smoothly this year, a British reporter based in Hong Kong followed a man who was cleaning with a radio on his waist, listening to horse racing news, and asked, "Hello, why are you so actively participating in the clean-up campaign this year?"

"Do I need a reason for this? This dead rat robbed my god of wealth and blocked my way to rice. I can't get rid of the hatred in my heart unless I kill 'him'!" Fearing that Su Yun, this rich girl, would be abducted by foreign devils and not be able to bless me with prosperity, the gambling brother, who hated the whole family, used a rat-catching swatter in one hand and hit the rats left and right at the same time, forcing the caught rats to flee for their lives...
