The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 124 Solid Backing
"Haha, hahaha."

Looking at Anson's heartless smile, Lucas felt a little relieved. It seemed that the Hollywood life in the past few months had not made his brother suffer. He was still the same as in his memory, and even seemed to be more cheerful.

Maybe, casting isn't such a bad idea.

While Lucas' thoughts were surging, Anson stuffed two more potato chips into his mouth. Seeing that the bag of potato chips was about to bottom out, just when he was feeling regretful, Lucas actually took it out from the briefcase at hand. Got a pack.

Seeing the surprised expression on Anson's face, Lucas only said one sentence, "The last pack."

He warned with his eyes, but still opened the potato chips and handed them over.

The smile in Anson's eyes overflowed, "So, why did you suddenly appear?"

Lucas' face darkened, "You're still asking me? You didn't even give me a call when you came to San Francisco. If Uncle Darren hadn't accidentally mentioned this matter, would you have been ready to continue diving? It's okay if you don't even call me when you arrive. I haven’t met her in town, so I don’t know what my mother will say.”

"If I don't show up, I guess you're going to sneak back to Los Angeles again, right?"

"Image! Luca, image." Seeing that Lucas was about to start talking, Anson quickly reminded him, but after all, he did not stop and stuffed two more potato chips into his mouth. His expression of watching the show was completely undisguised.

Lucas was speechless for a while, "You think I am you and you are always paying attention to my image."

Even so, Lucas took a deep breath and controlled himself.

After a pause, Lucas looked at Anson again. After all, he still couldn't control his worries, "Is the money still enough?"

Lucas Wood, 24 years old, works for a venture capital company in Silicon Valley. He has outstanding abilities. He was just promoted to venture capital director at the beginning of the year. However, it is obvious that Lucas is not prepared to work under others all the time. Currently, he is only in the early stage. Accumulate and wait for the opportunity to be ready to start your own business.

Although he was worried about Anson's impulsive desire to challenge actors, Lucas didn't say much and paid money into Anson's account every now and then.

According to Lucas, the reason why Anson has had no calls or news in recent times is very simple. It is simply that the actor's work is not going well, his self-confidence has been hit, and he is too embarrassed to confess to his family.

So, we simply stopped contacting him.

It was only half an hour's drive from Silicon Valley to San Francisco. It was so close, but Anson came to San Francisco for work and didn't call Lucas for a whole week. It was simply beyond imagination.

No, Lucas might as well kill him himself.

In this regard, Anson said——

Thank God.

Originally, Anson was worried that he would be exposed. After all, the core in the skin has changed. Darren and his roommates, forget about them. After all, they are not so familiar with each other, but family members are another matter.

Anson thought about waiting for himself to fully adapt, waiting for his memory to be completely integrated, and waiting for himself to be completely accustomed to those habits before contacting his family to avoid arousing their suspicions. Then he would have to come up with a series of excuses to cover up.

Or, it doesn't matter if he simply puts some distance between them and becomes more distant. After all, deep down in his soul, he doesn't think they are his family.

Unexpectedly, Lucas came to the door first.

But now it seems that Lucas did not notice anything unusual during the short meeting. The buffering and adaptation during this period of time still helped a lot.

And Anson himself is the same. After actually meeting Lucas, that sense of intimacy and familiarity naturally merged with his soul.

He could feel that the relationship between the original owner and his family was very close.

What I was originally worried about did not happen.

At this time, Anson’s first reaction after hearing Lucas’s words was:

Yes, not enough, of course the more the better.

But the words that come out naturally from deep within the soul are another matter.

"Didn't you listen to Uncle Darren? This is already my second job."

Anson was surprised, surprised by his own words, and also surprised by his own naturalness. Some of the habits of brothers getting along were seamlessly integrated into conditioned reflexes, which made the smile on Anson's mouth add a hint of helplessness. But the amazing thing is, it feels...not bad.

Lucas nodded, "Yeah, I heard. Uncle Darren said you did a good job." He paused and continued, "So, is it enough?"

Anson was stunned for a moment, and a faint warmth slowly filled his chest, like cotton candy.

Caught off guard, at a moment that he had not expected, a thin crack opened in the layered fortress.

In his previous life, he was used to being alone.

He has long been accustomed to working alone, eating alone, living alone, carrying loads alone, and carrying everything alone.

At the age of twenty-five, his life was completely turned upside down.

My father's booming business suddenly exploded, and it was revealed that it was actually a "Ponzi scheme." The victims collectively joined forces to file a lawsuit to take their father to court; but they did not expect that before the trial, his father fled and disappeared.

It was not until that time that his mother told him that although they had divorced a few years ago, all the fixed assets of the family had been mortgaged by his father in the bank. His mother also thought that his father was only needed for business and did not ask any questions.

The family that everyone once envied collapsed overnight, and nothing was left. He also saw the bank seals he saw on TV for the first time.

Before that, he was also a popular figure on campus who was proud of himself and had a bright future. He laughed wildly in the sun and ran with all his strength. After graduation, he entered a TV station and started his own life.

In one night, everything was overturned.

Because the culprit escaped, the victims targeted him. Even though his father and mother had divorced seven years ago, in the eyes of the victims, the divorce was just a cover-up. They accused him of being their father's accomplice and his assistance. The father fled the law, denouncing him as a devil who used the hard-earned money of his victims.

Thousands of people point it out.

he does not know.

Really, he knew nothing, absolutely nothing about his father.

However, this is not important.

He couldn't refute or refute, he could only bear it silently.

After suffering severe online violence, the TV station fired him under pressure.

He left like a lost dog.

In the past, he had seen those plots in TV series where rotten eggs, rotten tomatoes and vegetables were thrown into the air. He always felt that they were too ridiculous and exaggerated, and could not happen in real life.

It was not until he experienced it himself that he realized that artistic creation all comes from life, and he could not resist, had no position, and was not qualified to resist. He looked at the faces of the victims who were distorted with anger and collapsed in despair. , he couldn't blame them.

He needs to bear the weight of life.

Mother?

My mother didn’t understand either. She had never worked and had no skills, but now she had to leave home and go to the construction site to cook for the workers, rebuilding their lives from scratch.

Regardless of whether he wanted to or not, when his father escaped, the invisible and heavy guilt was the shadow that he had to bear to move forward.

Grow up overnight.

From that time on, he was used to being alone and relying on himself.

More than once, for a brief moment, he looked up at the sky in the gaps between high-rise buildings and wondered if everything could be overturned and have a new beginning, but he did not expect that all of this would really happen.
