Chapter 127 127

Hugo looked at the receiver in his hand and was a little overwhelmed. In fact, he did not have many memories of family in his mind, and it was difficult to call for more information in the fragmentary fragments, and today's call confirmed it. Lancai The Sturt family had a very bad relationship. He should have breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, Hugo felt empty inside.

"Hugo, Hugo!" Alex's call came from his ear, Hugo then came to his senses and looked at it blankly, and Alex couldn't help but repeat, "I'm asking, do you still need Do you use the phone?"

"Oh, no, no need." Hugo handed the receiver to Alex, then looked around, and finally walked towards the door, left the house, and then went to the stairs from the third floor to the fourth floor and sat down. down.

In fact, Hugo has always felt that he is an unfilial child. He will not say how much energy his parents have spent to give birth to him. The reason why his parents object to his own formation of a rock band is not so much that he thinks it is not a proper job, but that he is worried about his future life. Survival ability, the fact is also true, Glory has worked hard for ten years to the death, and has always been struggling at the lowest level of society. Music dreams are beautiful to say, but the cruelty of reality never shows mercy.

However, Hugo never regretted that he had embarked on the path of music, because this is what he wanted to do, even if it took ten years, and this is youth, a youth that has no regrets and no regrets. It's just a pity that he chose youth but hurt his parents.

Now, things seemed to happen again, Hugo couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder he crossed over to Lancaster, maybe it was fate. Perhaps, Lancaster fell out with his family because of his dream of being an actor, which led to a sharp deterioration in family relations and cut off contact with both parents.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not right. Lancaster may have run away from home, but from Adam's words just now, you can know that he and Adam are still connected intermittently. Instead, it is a taboo topic that his mother Lena is at home. So, does it mean that Lena and Adam got divorced - which is not uncommon in the US, and the reasons for the divorce are so bad that it may even hurt Lancaster, so this is causing tension in the family.

Hugo rubbed his head. He really had no clue about the Lancaster family's situation. Even if he tried to make some changes, he couldn't start. Hugo let out a long sigh. At this moment, he felt a little lonely. The joy, anxiety, and hard work after crossing over all turned into emptiness, and he began to miss his teammates who died of glory.

"Clap, crack..." The sound of footsteps came from behind, Hugo looked up suddenly and saw Joseph's hesitant footsteps, the two eyes met, Joseph twitched the corners of his mouth awkwardly, turned and wanted to leave, but After hesitating for a while, he went down the stairs and sat down beside Hugo.

"So, what's the matter?" Joseph asked, but his tone was also very heavy, and he seemed a little absent-minded.

Hugo glanced at Joseph, and Joseph's condition was not much better. The lingering entanglement between his brows made it easy to read that he had something on his mind, "I called my dad, and he was directly hung up in the end. ."

Although Hugo didn't say much, just one sentence was enough to outline the picture that the conversation was not going well, which made Joseph laughed dryly, "No surprise."

It's been a year without any communication, and even close family ties have become estranged, so it's hard to imagine that a phone call at this time can be very rewarding. In fact, Joseph also knew that the relationship between Hugo's family was not good, but he used to watch it as a bystander, and had no intention of interfering - of course, he has no intention of interfering now. He would suggest that Hugo call home on Thanksgiving. , I just stood on the side of my friend and thought that it would not be a good idea to continue this stalemate. But now it seems that even the call has not improved much.

"And what about Thanksgiving?" Joseph asked again.

"I will define Thanksgiving as a holiday where friends thank each other." Hugo said solemnly that since he can't spend it with his family, friends are the best choice. "Perhaps you are the one who needs to thank you the most. Wouldn't you refuse my invitation?"

Joseph looked at Hugo's smiling face, but he couldn't draw the corners of his mouth. His heart was so heavy that he was a little frustrated. "Hugo..." Joseph said, but only called out, and then paused again. Hugo was not in a hurry, just looked at Joseph quietly. After a few seconds, Joseph said with difficulty, "I want to ask you for a favor."

"Except for the photo shoot, no problem." Hugo's casual joke made Joseph's mouth twitch.

Joseph was clearly on his mind, and it seemed that the matter was serious, he considered his words before saying, "Can you lend me a million dollars?" If he reacted, Joseph said quickly, "I, I will return it to you as soon as possible, I am serious. If the situation is not too urgent this time..."

"Okay." Hugo interrupted Joseph's words and simply nodded in agreement. Not long ago, the first payment of "Yihai Xiongfeng" had been paid for one million yuan, and the subsequent pay will have to wait until the movie is released. .

Joseph knew this all too well, but Hugo did not suspect that Joseph was deliberately calculating his money, because after getting along for the year, Hugo knew that Joseph was not such a person, and he was willing to believe Joseph. Besides, if Joseph really had ulterior motives, it would be worth it to use a million to recognize the true face of a friend.

Hugo's agility made Joseph speechless for a while, he just stared at Hugo, in fact, there were countless thoughts surging in Joseph's heart, and a lot of words were piled up on his lips, but there was no way to express them. Is looking at Hugo stupidly.

Hugo showed a smile, "Give me the bank account number and I'll call you, or do you want cash?" Hugo was a debtor not long ago, so he was not qualified to write a check at all, he could only use a bank account or cash.

Joseph came to his senses at this time, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and regained his voice in his dry throat, "I will give you the account number later." After speaking, Joseph took a deep breath and calmed his fast heartbeat. Then he explained, "It's like this, there's an emergency at home, and I, I need this money, but I don't know who to ask for help." Joseph found his language confusing, and after explaining for a long time, he didn't explain the situation at all. He could only take a deep breath and said helplessly, "Hugo, I will return it to you as soon as possible."

"Joseph, I see." Hugo didn't say anything polite, but patted Joseph on the shoulder. Everyone encounters an emergency, and no one wants it, but when it happens, a friend's helping hand is particularly important. "Now I just have this ability, otherwise I wouldn't be so straightforward. Besides, this money is not given to you for free. Remember to pay me back. I plan to use this money to buy a car."

In fact, for Hugo, he has not checked the account after the one million is received. , I just thought it would be great if I could help a friend.

Hugo's words didn't make Joseph relax too much, because he knew that Hugo was just comforting himself, but Joseph didn't say anything else, because he knew that no amount of thanks would be superfluous at this time. "I need to go back to Houston today, I wasn't planning on going back on Thanksgiving, but now..."

Joseph didn't say it, but Hugo knew that the sudden incident at home made him have to go back to Houston to deal with it. Hugo nodded, "Have you bought the plane ticket?"

"I just decided after answering the phone." Joseph shook his head, "I decided to drive back."

"Are you crazy?" Hugo blurted out in surprise, "It's fifteen hundred miles, at least twenty-two hours." If it's a road trip, that's another story. Joseph is now in a hurry to get back. It's dangerous to drive back home alone. "You should go to the airport. Today is only Tuesday, and there should be many more flights."

Joseph didn't speak, obviously carrying Hugo's debt of one million, it would be very difficult for him to take a plane home lavishly, but Hugo could see Joseph's hesitation, "Hey, man, compared to a million , a seven-hundred-dollar ticket is nothing. The interest is more than that." Hugo's last joke made Joseph twitch.

Come to think of it, that's exactly what happened. Too much debt, lice do not bite. So, Joseph didn't hesitate any more, got up and went back to his room to pack his luggage. He said it was packing, but in fact he just took his wallet and a coat, and then walked out quickly, looking at the rain sitting on the steps. Guo Guo, after a short pause in his footsteps, walked down quickly, but stopped again when he reached the third floor, he looked back and said, "Hugo."

"what?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?" Joseph knew that his behavior today was too unusual.

In fact, this is the first time Joseph has ever mentioned his family to Hugo, and the point is that he was not prepared, so he didn't say anything at all, just vaguely talked about some plausible things, which is not convincing at all . But Hugo did not ask himself the purpose of borrowing the money, nor did he ask himself to write guarantees, IOUs, etc., or even check the interest, so he expressed his support for him. Joseph felt a little apprehensive.

Hugo's light laughter came over, "That's your freedom." There was no explanation, no explanation, and no accusation. Just such a light sentence made Joseph weigh a thousand pounds.

If someone asks Hugo how much a trust is worth, Hugo will answer, at least a million dollars can't be bought.
