Chapter 1161 1161 Behind the Glitz

Susan's reaction was only half a beat. Then, after realizing what Hugo meant, she smiled brightly. Although the smile was fully blooming, it still had an indescribable charm. No wonder people always say that temperament is what really lasts over looks.

"Tim and I said before that you are a good actor, but they didn't mention that you are a good comedian." Susan's smile was intoxicating in the blurred light of the night.

Hugo pursed his lips and shrugged, "This is a fact that I don't even know, and I will take it as a compliment." In fact, Hugo has always wanted to try to watch comedy, not like "Sleepless in Seattle" romantic comedy, but a real comedy.

Hugo chatted with Susan and Tim for a while, and then he realized that Cameron seemed to have been away for too long, so he apologized to the two and walked towards the bathroom.

There was still some distance from the bathroom, and Hugo saw the ladies waiting at the door. Hugo's footsteps couldn't help but stop. How could he forget that at parties or large gatherings, the ladies' bathroom was always full.

Hugo looked for a while in the crowd, but Cameron didn't see it, but saw a lot of acquaintances, Nicole Kidman and Michelle Pfeiffer leaning on the side of a green radish, their faces There was a smile on her face; Winona Ryder was hiding in a shadow and thinking about something, but when her eyes touched Hugo, she looked away uncomfortably.

Surprisingly, Hugo actually saw a strange and familiar figure, Angelina Jolie!

How can Angelina, who is not yet twenty years old this year, enter Oscar night? At this time, Angelina should have entered the industry, but there is nothing worth mentioning. Is it because of her father, Jon. Voight? If it was Jon Voight, he would have absolutely no problem taking Angelina to Oscar night. But Hugo remembered that Angelina had a very bad relationship with her father, not only publicly condemning her father, but also removing her father's surname through legal channels.

Not knowing what was going on, Hugo looked around subconsciously, looking for Brad Pitt. Although Brad was absent from the Oscars, "Vanity Fair" would not forget him, and he and Gwyneth naturally appeared hand in hand.

But then Hugo came to his senses. Brad and Angelina now have nothing to do with each other, and even if they are related, it is not his turn to gossip.

Hugo withdrew his gaze and looked back. Susan and Tim were no longer there. They met Kevin Costner not far away. So Hugo left the bathroom door and walked towards the interior. Unlike the liveliness of the open-air swimming pool and the garden, the warmth of the interior made everyone take off their coats, stand or sit, and their posture was obviously more casual and lazy. , you can even see those closely intertwined figures in the balcony or the corner of the stairs.

What's hidden behind Vanity Fair? Dirty, darkness, power and wealth, desire. see. After all these years of baptism, Hugo is no longer a young and stunned boy. He naturally does not expect Oscar night to be a simple party. On the contrary, seeing such a reserved scene in front of him, Hugo is still a little surprised. Woolen cloth.

As if to confirm Hugo's thoughts, there was a frolic from the elevator entrance. When he turned his head, he could see six men and two women file into the elevator disheveled, and the wine bottles in their hands were scattered everywhere. , kinky in the mouth. Voice. wave. The words echoed continuously in the restrained and restrained hall.

Hugo chuckled lightly, how could he forget that this is a hotel with countless rooms upstairs. True privacy is certainly not on the surface.

"Do you need anything?" A figure passed by Hugo, Hugo turned sideways and moved away, but he didn't want that person to stop, and whispered in Hugo's ear.

Hugo frowned slightly and looked at each other, and then saw a young man with a short head. Although his face was very clean, the dark circles under his eyes and the traces left by the brow nails made him look at him. When he got up, he was very tired, and those eyes that were rolling around seemed a bit wretched.

This man looks familiar.

Hugo couldn't remember the corresponding face and name in his mind, but when the other party saw Hugo's eyes, he immediately avoided his eyes with a guilty conscience, then lowered his head slightly, lowered his voice and said again, "You need to ?"

Hugo understood at this time, this should be a medicine. peddler. son. How did this guy get into Oscar night? Hugo still did not speak, frowning in thought. But it took less than half a second before and after, that medicine. The dealer couldn't wait for Hugo's answer, and left in a panic.

Hugo didn't think much about these medicines. The trafficker is sneaky in the first place. Seeing that he has not responded, it is normal to leave with a guilty conscience. Hugo was thinking in his mind, "Vanity Fair" clearly knows that such a party cannot lack alcohol and drugs. Good, people like Angelina who do not reach the legal drinking age will not be monitored here, likewise, drugs hidden in dark corners. Products cannot be self-made.

Maybe the organizers knew there was a drug. The traffickers came in through personal connections and turned a blind eye; or, they were the ones who blatantly let in - at least to make sure they knew about the drugs. The direct source of the product is easy to control.

Thinking of this, Hugo felt more and more that the darkness hidden behind Vanity Fair made people shudder. People always do this, when they stand outside the circle, they are excited to see the riches and honors in front of them, and they rush forward like moths to the flames; After thousands of hardships and dangers became a part of the circle, they realized that standing in the center of Vanity Fair would cost ten times a hundred times more, so they were lost in the colorful neon.

"Having fame and fortune makes you satisfied?"

Hugo stood there thinking, that poison. But the dealer fled with a racing heart, "Damn, it's so unfortunate, it's really..." He is called "Pastor", and one of the accomplices in last year's Houston incident was his fascination. The medicine was sold to Mandy Sandy, who offered to help.

After six months of hard work, he avoided the limelight, left Houston and came to Los Angeles. He didn't expect to meet Hugo again, which really made the pastor break out in a cold sweat.

The pastor just wanted to move faster and faster to avoid being recognized by Hugo, that would be bad, he was poisoned now. The quality is enough for him to spend his twenty youth in prison.

But less than ten steps out, the priest was pulled by someone's arm. The priest, who was like a frightened bird, widened his eyes, and the foul language was almost on his lips, but when he saw the person coming, he stopped it abruptly. . The person in front of him was Uma.

Uma Thurman, Hugo's ex-girlfriend. The pastor didn't know the twists and turns in the entertainment industry, but he knew that the woman in front of him was related to Hugo, which almost scared the pastor.

But before the priest could respond, Uma said quickly in a low voice, "Is there marijuana. Is it marijuana?"

About big. Hemp, in fact, has been controversial in the United States since 1936, large. Hemp is officially banned in the United States. But unlike other poisons. Goods, big. The medical effects of hemp have been proven, so after entering the 1990s, it became more and more important on the grounds of body autonomy, medical truth, and economic benefits. The legalization of marijuana is gradually unfolding. Many people are supportive. The legalization of marijuana is not considered big. Hemp is poison. a kind of product. But for now, California still prohibits large. Hemp trade.

The pastor was stunned for a moment. Do you want to accept the business delivered to your door? Actually big. The price of hemp is far less than that of other drugs. It's a good product, but it sells well at many celebrity parties because they don't think it's big. Hemp is poison. It is a kind of tobacco leaf for recreation, and it has even become a fashion, so when the priest comes to Oscar night, the main goods are large. numb.

"How much do you have?" the priest said through gritted teeth, his eyes still peeking from time to time to be vigilant, and then Uma took out a small stack of green bills from the small bag that she was carrying and stuffed it into the priest's hand, the priest bowed his head. After looking at it, he reached out and dug into the inner pocket of his coat.

The priest looked around cautiously, only to find that Hugo was watching him now. This made the pastor so frightened that his first thought was: Uma came to set him up! The priest didn't even have time to think about it, he took a bag and threw it at Uma's feet, and then fled in embarrassment.

Hugo just casually looked back and saw two people who were trading.

Of course he didn't recognize the pastor, not to mention that during the Houston incident, he and the pastor only had two face-to-face encounters; even if he did know the pastor, he couldn't remember Hugo's prosopagnosia. But Hugo recognized Uma. He saw Uma crouched down in a panic, picked up the brown object wrapped in a plastic bag from the ground, and sneaked along the corner to leave.

When Uma raised her head, she saw Hugo's clear eyes. At this time, Hugo was standing at the entrance of the hall, and the yellow light behind him shone a faint halo, making Hugo's amber eyes look so warm, as clear as the thin morning light at six o'clock in the morning. .

Uma didn't have time to carefully look at Hugo's expression. She just touched those eyes, and she looked back in a panic. The beat of her heart lost its rhythm, making her brain become a mess, and she could only escape. , leaving a hurried back.

Hugo didn't have too many thoughts, no sighs, no guilt, no condemnation. This is Hollywood, and not everyone is immune to it, and not everyone can handle it. It's just that Hugo was a little surprised by Uma's choice, because he always believed that Uma was a strong-willed person, and he would sprint without turning back when he decided. . But now Uma has chosen poison. quality, which also means choosing to sink and choose to escape.

Perhaps, Hugo never really understood Uma.
