"Not much?"
It was like a cat with its tail trampled on. Joanna, who had been calm all the time, suddenly got excited, opened her hands and questioned loudly. Zheng Jianguo knew he had said something he shouldn't say, so he quickly said, "well, I know your feeling. You will feel that your parents will be disappointed with you and think you have changed from a good child to a bad child.
But, I want to tell you, Joanna, you just became an American girl. At your age, or many American girls of your age have done it.
At first, they may feel that you have made them sad, but for blood reasons, if you tell them that you know it's inappropriate to do that, they will be obedient girls in the future, and they will choose to forgive you. "
"But I'm just afraid they'll be sad when they know."
Joanna shrugged and looked at Camille. Zheng Jianguo had to continue to say, "this thing will make them realize that you two have reached the process of transformation from minors to adults. I believe as adults, they will worry about your current psychological state more than their disappointment with you. They are likely to find the boy, Communicate what happened to you two and then make rational consequences -- "
"You said that to avoid me causing you trouble, didn't you?"
She shook her head and looked incredulous. After Joanna said it, she saw Zheng Jianguo continue to say, "yes, I can avoid a lot of trouble. For example, the cost of hiring a lawyer's group is a big figure, hundreds of thousands? Millions?
But for you, instead of telling the truth about you and your boyfriend to the world, oh, your classmates, teachers and even people who know you will talk behind your back, and you will carry this talk all your life.
Your parents won't accompany you through your life, but in the future, your husband will know who your first boyfriend is, and others will know who his wife's first boyfriend is. Joanna, do you really want such a future? "
"OK, I'll do what you say -"
After blinking, she pursed her lips and imagined that she would be involved in this matter in the future. Joanna immediately changed her mouth and said, but at the end, she added a few words: "I, I was just curious about what was on the video -"
"It's understandable that you just didn't accept the formal adolescent education, but ushered in the ignorant curiosity of adolescence."
Zheng Jianguo nodded silently. The adolescent education in America is not all carried out. It is conceivable that the two girls' parents did not do a good job in this education. He thought of the girl who was scratched by his mother because he touched himself.
However, when Zheng Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, Joanna turned her head and looked at Camille. Her eyes twinkled and said, "so -"
"So?"
Zheng Jianguo followed her eyes to see Camille. Somehow, a bad feeling rose in his mind. He said curiously, "so what?"
"I don't believe her. If she's in trouble, how did you solve it on the plane? When I called her that time, I smelled a man on her -- "
Joanna looked at the two people and said it. Then she found that Camille's face was really flustered. She turned to Zheng Jianguo, but found that he had no response. She couldn't help but continue to say, "tell me how you did it?"
"Yes, you guessed right, so we still didn't have a relationship."
Knowing that it was possible to find out when the two sisters got along, Zheng Jianguo did not continue to entangle in this matter and endured the deterioration of her impression in his heart. Of course, considering that the revelation of this emotion would increase the complexity of the immediate trouble, he readily admitted: "if you can keep it secret for us, I will grant you a request, As long as I can do it. "
"Zheng -"
As soon as Camille opened his mouth, old John's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, the meal is ready -"
"Then have dinner and talk about it after dinner."
After giving Camille a look, Zheng Jianguo changed his original plan: "old John, the temporary meeting at 9 a.m. was cancelled and postponed to 14 p.m. after a meeting, I will go to Camille's house."
"Yes, sir."
Knowing that Zheng Jianguo was going to put out the fire, old John found himself out of sight. He thought Joanna was a noble lady, but he didn't think she was really a noble lady: "ladies, please --"
"Thank you!"
When Joanna opened her mouth with a smile, Camille turned his head and said expressionless, "thank you."
"Eat, I'll take you to see Ms. Taylor."
Looking at Camille's worried appearance, Zheng Jianguo knew that what he said at the moment was nonsense. It was most important to have dinner and unify his caliber with Taylor.
So the three people with different thoughts lost their interest in talking. For a time, there were only the sound of knives and forks on the porcelain plate and chewing and swallowing.
After breakfast without chatting, when Zheng Jianguo got on the bus with Camille and Joanna with their sunglasses, someone on the opposite side of the road had picked up the camera to take photos, and the reporter shouted, "Camille, Camille."
"Ignore them."
Zheng Jianguo opened the rear door and let the two women get on the car. He turned and looked at Old John and said, "old John, don't go. I'll go and go back quickly."
"Yes, sir."
Nodding to send Zheng Jianguo to the co pilot, old John nodded at him, and then black Land Rover left the Empire State Building quickly. Only when the car entered Camille's house more than ten minutes later, I didn't think there were more reporters at the door. There was a tall middle-aged man in the house. Zheng Jianguo opened the door for them when he got off the car, She saw Joanna's pale face and said to the man, "Dad."
"Dad."
Camille, who followed Joanna out of the car, began to call out. Zheng Jianguo saw Taylor who was close and said, "Zheng, this is my ex husband frank, Camille's father -"
"Hello, Mr. Frank."
He said hello to the tall and burly Frank. Zheng Jianguo somehow understood why the sisters were so tall. Of course, this is not the time to discuss this problem, so he looked back at Taylor and said, "just now, under my questioning, I learned some private things. I think you need to take them to understand, Then let's talk about the upcoming gossip report -- "
"OK, you, sit down in the living room first."
I know something must have happened. After Taylor finished talking to Zheng Jianguo, he put his arms around the sisters and entered the house. Frank watched the three women disappear. Naomi next to him said, "Zheng, frank, you can come and sit in the house."
"OK, let's go in and sit down?"
Wen Wenru and frank greeted Zheng Jianguo. The latter followed him to the room and sat down. Only when they sat down and Naomi's tea was not served, Taylor appeared shocked: "frank, I need to talk to you --"
"Oh, OK."
Smiling at Zheng Jianguo, Frank got up and turned to follow Taylor into the inner room. Zheng Jianguo drank the tea in front of him. He just didn't know that the sound insulation effect of the room was too good, or that the couple's quality was so high that there was no fierce contradiction in it. Until Zheng Jianguo drank this cup of tea, he didn't find any sound.
When Zheng Jianguo drank another cup of tea, Taylor appeared in the corridor. With a complex look, he said, "Zheng, do you think this kind of thing can only be handled like this?"
"I think this is the best way to deal with the matter before it is known to the world and all relevant personnel are injured -"
Nodded and thought of the unified caliber with the two girls on the way here. Zheng Jianguo asked the family to discuss privately because he was an outsider after all.
"I discussed with frank, and the first step was to say that no matter what happened to you two -"
Speaking of this, Taylor looked at Zheng Jianguo with an ugly face, and finally continued to say: "but you two haven't had a relationship after all, but in the second step, Joanna has a boyfriend. If I made a statement like that, her boyfriend --"
"Let Joanna choose. If they break up, I feel I can transfer her to another school."
His eyes swept over Frank's face behind Taylor. Zheng Jianguo raised his vigilance when he saw his clenched teeth. When Taylor was looking at him, he turned and saw Frank. He quickly explored his hand and helped Frank's shoulder: "frank, you don't want to intensify this matter, for Joanna and Camille."
"What's the matter with you and Camille? Joanna, that boyfriend is still under age. How about you? Zheng Jianguo? "
Frank clenched his teeth and stared at Zheng Jianguo. Camille's scream suddenly came from the corridor: "frank, that's my business --"
"Camille, stop talking."
After looking at Frank and Taylor, Zheng Jianguo found himself calming down more and more. Seeing Camille no longer speak, he said, "it's too early to say anything about my relationship with Camille. She's still young and I'm not big. The most important thing is that I don't want to define this relationship too early. That's why we haven't come to that step.
I admit I'm not a good man, and Mr. Frank, the reason why you're angry should be that I already have a girlfriend and Camille. In fact, I'm only 18 years old. I believe I can handle our relationship. "
Looking at the young cheek in front of him, Frank took a quick breath. The reason why he was really angry was not the age gap between them. It was not uncommon for 18-year-old boys to make friends with 15-year-old girls in America.
The age difference between the two is in a comprehensive school, that is, in grade 12, they found a girlfriend in Grade 10, which is very desirable for girls in the school, because only excellent girls can attract the attention of senior students.
Coupled with Zheng Jianguo's achievements and wealth, Frank would not be surprised if they had a relationship, because the excellent would only be attracted to the better. He was angry that this guy clearly had a girlfriend: "what about Serena? As far as I know, you're still starting a relationship to find her, and she's pregnant -- "
"Considering that she has been missing for two months, the reason for her disappearance is also that she was wayward and did not accept the bodyguard arranged by me -"
Zheng Jianguo said with an unmoved look. In terms of the relationship, he has done his utmost to Yang Na. If the child is still there after coming back, it depends on whether she has learned enough lessons in this matter.
If he still goes his own way and feels that his rights cannot be violated, Zheng Jianguo feels that it is of little significance to stick to it, because emotionally, this matter will always be buried in the middle of the two people, and the future marriage will be smooth. It's OK to say that if there is any stumbling, it will become the fuse causing the rupture of the relationship.
What's more, it's hard to guess whether Yang Na is an intelligence officer after Zheng Jianguo's attack from time to time. Instead of letting someone put an undercover to her pillow, Zheng Jianguo would rather break up than ask for this hidden danger.
So based on this, after counting many heterosexual choices around Zheng Jianguo, he still chose Camille, who likes all of them on his face: "even if I found it back, I decided to break up with her, and now the trouble to solve is the scandal between Camille and me."
"OK, in order to avoid big trouble for you two, I'll follow your advice."
Glancing at Zheng Jianguo's motionless face, Taylor turned to look at Frank, whose face was getting better. He quickly opened his mouth and said, "considering your current troubles and in order to avoid similar troubles, Taylor and I decided that you and Camille should not get along alone outside New York before June 1 next year --"
"No problem, OK."
I didn't expect to pass so quickly. Zheng Jianguo promised and silently glanced at Camille behind them. He felt that people's thoughts were really different under different national conditions.
In the United States, the default standard for adulthood is 18. In Zheng Jianguo's opinion, it should be for the age of physiological development. The age for obtaining a driver's license is 18.
However, the age at which marriage is allowed in America is the same. Massachusetts, where Boston is located, and most other states, are 18 for both men and women.
Only in addition, some states will lower the age to 16 with the permission of both parents or judges, and only a few, such as Washington, will further reduce the limit to 14 for men and 12 for women.
The minimum marriage age in New York state is 14, which is why Joanna found a boyfriend last year and had a relationship.
Of course, the trouble faced by Zheng Jianguo comes from the place where the scandal happened: the registration place of the white swan is Britain, and the Republic where the capital hotel is located, not to mention 14 or 16 years old, which are illegal.
If it were in New York, Zheng Jianguo wouldn't have such a headache. Of course, the reason why he was so troublesome was that he didn't forget the opportunity to hype the topic: "then follow the implementation of the previous plan. Camille accompanied me to the award ceremony in the evening --"
Glancing over Camille and Joanna, Taylor nodded and said, "I'll take them to the Empire State building this afternoon."
