Chapter 149： birthday present

Money is not everything, but without it, it is absolutely impossible. This sentence is very vulgar, but many times, we have to admit that it is correct.

If Catherine Bell was rich today, it would be impossible for this kind of thing to happen: Conversely, if Gu Luobei's credit card didn't have the $480,000 just called from Apple today, no matter how reasonable he was, it would be impossible. Humiliating the clerk so directly.

After leaving Louis Vuitton, all the good moods of the three of them were ruined. He didn't even know how to eat lunch, but after one o'clock, Teddy Bell proposed to go home, and Catherine Bell immediately nodded in agreement.

After returning home, Catherine Bell sat down on the chair and couldn't wait to ask, "How much was that suit just now?" The expression on her face was full of distress, but there was no trace of blame. Gu Luobei knew that Catherine Bell was distressed for the hard-earned money she just squandered.

"15,000." Gu Luobei didn't intend to hide the money. Of course he knew that it was a lot of money. Eleven dry cleaners' turnover in a month was not that much, but the clerk insulted Catherine Bell. , this is something Gu Luobei can't bear. If the money is gone, he can make a **** and earn it again, but there is only one mother he loves the most in his life.

"Catherine, don't worry." Teddy Yibell poured a glass of warm water over and comforted him, "Bei has made some money recently." Teddy Yibell looked at Gu Luobei, got a confirming look, and put the ten A studio's deals with Apple, Fremantle Media have spoken out.

In fact, Catherine Bell knew all of these things, but she only knew about this matter, but she never asked about the specific content of the matter. The two sons were already mature enough that she didn't need to worry about them, not to mention that the sons also reported some important events to her, so she didn't interfere too much. Before Catherine Bell knew that the two sons were writing some plans and cooperating with several companies, but she did not expect that these two plans were so big and so valuable.

"You mean, one plan sold for $5 million" and one plan sold for $8 million? "The shock on Catherine Bell's face was undisguised, and there was a clear view between the gritty brows.

Gu Luobei carefully looked at her mother's tightly clasped hands on her knees. Although the years did not make Catherine Bell grow old, the heavy life made those slender and fair hands covered with scars. The scalded red mark on the back of the right hand was not very obvious, but Gu Luobei remembered it clearly. It was burnt by a high-temperature iron. These were marks left by his life for more than ten years.

From the moment Gu Luobei was born, Katherine Bell took care of this family alone. Even Teddy Bell, who was two years old at the time, had no impression of his father. The Bell family has always had only one parent, Catherine Bell. Eighteen years, from twenty-two to forty years old, the most beautiful elegance of a woman's life has quietly passed. Every time he thinks of this fact, Gu Luobei has a lingering sadness in his heart.

Although Gu Luobei has always been unfettered, free and unrestrained, there has always been a place in his heart that belongs to Catherine Bell and Teddy Bell, because he knows very well that without a mother and brother, his life will be It can't be so comfortable.

"No, no, to be precise, 40% of the 4.8 million British list does not belong to me." Gu Luobei smiled to correct the mistakes in Catherine Bell's words "However, at present I have There is only 480,000 US dollars, and the first part of the British chart should not be paid until the end of August, and the rest of the two hundred British chart will have to wait until October." This amount of money, for the real rich, really can't be said. More, Gu Luobei guessed that it was not much for the family before Catherine Bell got married, but it was a huge sum of money for the Bell family consisting of the three of them. It was the biggest income Catherine Bell had since propped up the family on her shoulders. Therefore, in addition to being full of inconceivable eyes, Katherine Bell's eyes were still a little bit crystal clear.

"Besides that, there are three other movies, which should add up to five million, and they will all be paid at the beginning of next year." This is Teddy Bell's voice "Death Illusion" The pay is one million "Sniper Phone Booth" and "Bai Ye Chasing the Murderer" are both 2 million. Although the remuneration does not arrive immediately, it will be paid before the movie is released.

"There are still three singles sold, and the first revenue will arrive in two days, but it is estimated that it is not much, this is only the sales revenue of April and May.

"Catherine, our family's life will get better little by little. You know, your son is now a best-selling singer, and the single is still on the top ten of the billboard these two days."

Gu Luobei's words were very relaxed and lively, but they didn't make Catherine Belle smile, but let the crystal tears fall down.

Gu Luobei took his mother into his arms with his right hand, and Katherine Bell felt at ease with her strong arm, after working so hard for so many years. The son finally grew up, and his strong physique was enough to shield her from the wind and rain. The burden that the household has been carrying for so many years can finally be relieved by creating a god. This made Catherine Bell's mind instantly relaxed, and years of bitterness turned into tears, which burst out in the warmth of her younger son's arms.

Teddy Bell sat on her mother's left and patted her mother's shoulder with her right hand, "Catherine, what happened at Louis Vuitton this afternoon will never happen again in the future."

Gu Luobei raised his head, his eyes touched Teddy Bell's eyes, and those eyes were also a little red at this time, and it was vaguely possible to see some moisture. The Louis Vuitton incident is just a fuse, not a big deal. But the point is, starting today, from Catherine Bell's fortieth birthday, the Bell family's new life is about to begin, and everything will be fine.

"Mom, Teddy and I want to discuss something with you." Gu Luobei patted Catherine Yibei's shoulder gently, with a soft but cautious tone.

Catherine Bell knew she had something serious to talk about when she heard the phrase "Mom". After being strong for so many years, Catherine Bell's personality has long since become incomparably determined. Just now she would cry uncontrollably, but it was only because all the hardships of the eighteen years had passed, and she sighed instantly. She has not shed tears for too long. I even forgot the taste of tears, so I was a little gaffe. Now that she knew she had something serious to talk about, Catherine Bell quickly packed up her emotions, sat up straight, took the tissue from Teddy Bell, and wiped the embarrassment on her face.

"We want to sell the dry cleaners." Gu Luobei's opening remarks surprised Catherine Bell, but she was only stunned, but did not rush to ask the reason, but quickly calmed down and quietly Wait for the son to explain why.

"Aren't you interested in designing and sewing clothes?" Gu Luobei went on to say that the two brothers discussed this plan long before the Oprah talk show was recorded, although the conditions are not yet mature. , at least the cost is still quite tight, but the meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the road has to be taken step by step. Gu Luobei feels that now is the time to start preparing.

"We sold the dry cleaners, and then raised a sum of money to open a design studio for you. You can create your own clothing design, and then build your own brand and open a storefront.

"Design studio?" Catherine Bell retrieved her voice, with some hoarseness from crying just now. "Can I do it? Besides, factories, storefronts, sales..." Kathryn Bell's eyes and The tone is not very confident, she is far from that period of learning design,

The life of learning to sew has passed many, many years.

"You can do it!" This time it was Teddy Bell who took over the conversation. He has a lot of knowledge in this area, so he is also investigating. "You forgot, the two of us grew up wearing all kinds of clothes. You sewed it yourself. You also made the clothes that Bei participated in the Sundance Film Festival last time, and they were well received by many fashion journalists! Didn't you also sew Anne's dress for the premiere this time?" To say Strength, Catherine Bell is absolutely not lacking, but the hardships of life for many years have wiped out the ambitions of youth and youth. "As for factories, storefronts, and sales, our two brothers will investigate. It's just that we are both The layman has found the manufacturer and storefront, but you still have to check it yourself.

Although there was still some hesitation in Catherine Bell's eyes, the look on her face had begun to glow Gu Luobei knew that the two brothers had the right idea this time. In Katherine Bell's heart, she must still have a designer's dream. In that case, why didn't the two brothers realize this dream for their mother?

"Mom, think about it clearly, the design studio will not make money in the early stage, and it will be very hard. Designing clothes, running factories, supervising the production of clothes, including taking care of the storefront, are all physically and energy-intensive things. Maybe, it will be more tiring than when the dry cleaners just started." Gu Luobei and Teddy Bell have considered all aspects of this matter, and finally made a unanimous decision, obviously not reckless, but sincere Catherine Bell considered. "Of course, compared to when the dry cleaners just started, this time, Teddy and I can provide some help, and we can also make gods to help you relieve some of the burden."

After finishing speaking, Gu Luobei took out the credit card just now and put it in front of Catherine Bell. "This is a birthday present from Teddy and I. Mom, I love you."

"Happy birthday, I love you." Teddy Bell also looked at Catherine Bell with a smile on his face. This gift was decided by the two brothers after thinking about it for a long time. It was also the first gift given to the mother after the two brothers became adults. real gift.
