Hollywood Domination Chapter 389: Girlfriend night talk

Jenny has to admit that Lilian's reaction was the same as Jim's, which made her a little concerned-not that she hoped they misunderstood her relationship with Cesare, but...well, it's a beauty Whether it's her vanity, being told to her face that 'you two are no good' - of course, Jim didn't say it, and she didn't show it badly - she always felt a little bit uncomfortable, as if her charm was underestimated.

"Is it so impossible?" She protested half-jokingly, "Look, basically only the two of us live in such a big house, many people don't even need such good conditions to develop, I mean, after all, not everyone is like Josh, is it?"

"Indeed, not everyone is like Josh." Lilian spread her hands, "But both you and Cesare are more difficult to deal with than Josh, and you mess up the contract with him without distinguishing between business and private?"

She couldn't help laughing again, "Especially Cesare, breaking the agreement? This is really too hard to imagine."

"Okay," Jenny couldn't help laughing when she thought about Cesare taking the initiative to break the contract and making an offer to her—whether it was a pursuit or a date. A person who will fulfill the contract even if he dies, isn't he?"

"Threat to life is a kind of force majeure, breach of contract is definitely acceptable, but before that," Lilian shrugged, "Cesare is such a strict person, he will never confuse public and private, if he If he really wants to date you, of course he will tell you directly, and even explain his feelings to you when he proposes—maybe he will sign a few memos or something—"

Her funny tone made Jenny laugh too, and she couldn't tell if it was reassuring or disturbing, but Lillian was right when she said, "Of course, you're right, please—I'm not narcissistic enough to think that Che Sare has a crush on me, think about it, if he has a different purpose and uses the transfer of property as an excuse to arrange a fake marriage, in fact it is to get close to the wife in this marriage—"

Both girls trembled, and Jenny continued, "What a creepy and loser thing that would be."

"Indeed, that feeling is really too perverted, it will make people completely question his personality, won't it," Lilian rubbed her arms and said, "Who would be so cowardly that he dare not even express his good feelings? Satisfy yourself with such deceptive means? ——Although fake marriage is also a kind of deception, this kind of deception seems to break the bottom line."

Lilian is indeed right, and she is also quite righteous, but Jenny is a little uncomfortable to hear—especially the sentence "the coward is too afraid to say good feelings", she scooped up a handful of water Go to Lilian, "Hey! Are you talking about me? - Don't forget how I told you Salvi back then."

"Yes, I was talking about you." Lilian grimaced at her and grinned, "You and Salvi have let me down so much, go to Yosemite together - cut off from the outside world, Ever since you mentioned it to me, I've been expecting something romantic like in the movie, God knows you finally told me this, and I have to say, you've let me down, Jen, you're so good at this There is definitely a problem."

"Issue?" Jenny said. She also took a sip of soda water and said half-smiling and half-evasively, "I don't know when you became a part-time psychological counselor, Lil."

"I took courses in this area in college," Lillian said, "but I think it doesn't need to be a counselor, just someone who knows you well can see it-I'm not saying Commitment obstacle (issue), you can't get to the step of commitment obstacle at all-in my opinion, you can even say that you have love phobia."

Jenny froze for a moment—under Lilian's sharp and direct words, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but this discomfort was still comfortable: at those premieres and commercial receptions, she could easily listen I have received countless flattery and compliments, but of course it is not as good as the persuasion from friends. It may sound harsh, but it makes people feel warm.

"Maybe this can't be called love phobia," she didn't put up a defensive fence like Cesare taught, "it's more a... rational choice, I don't want to let Chris It happened again, since your career does not allow you to have a long-term and stable relationship, then of course the best way is to avoid any relationship that will hurt yourself or others, isn't it? - Of course, after his The window period is long, but it's more because I'm getting busier—"

"I'm not saying you don't have enough reasons." Lilian hesitated, but continued, "It's just a feeling, you see, Jane, there are two kinds of people in this world, one is driven by emotion Yes, people who are more selfish, just like me, in many cases, there are obviously better ways to solve the problem, so that both parties can not be hurt, but I will not choose, I will choose one to protect myself according to my instinct Road——If I were you, I think I would continue to fall in love. Even if it doesn’t last long, it may cause great harm to the other party, but I still won’t stop. I will continue to pursue, not only Looking for opportunities to settle down and also because I need to feel loved and to be loved...I'm a needy person but you're totally different, you're rational, you're always trying to minimize the damage and you're always saying, The path of least harm is to not try, maybe that's what you're saying to me, yes, it's mathematically true, the odds of success are really slim - and I'm not talking about either of the two Wrong, but what I want to say is that behind your rationality is low need, you seem to be ashamed of being vulnerable, ashamed of needing, you always want to live without anyone, I think that's why This mentality prevents you from even starting a relationship, let alone deepening it... Of course, your work also plays a big role in this.”

"I... can't refute it unexpectedly," Jenny said. She spread her hands and smiled bitterly. "Of course this may be the result of many factors, such as lack of time, special living environment, and risk of public opinion... But, in the final analysis, yep, I really don't like... the feeling of being dependent on another person, especially when you're in the midst of non-stop madness yourself - it's already hard to balance what's already there, add another factor, I'm not sure Will this boat capsize."

"Yeah, I understand, I really do understand..." Lilian said in a daze, "especially when you yourself are already in a state of insanity..."

She shrugged, "Maybe that's why those presidents always have several wives—the woman who took care of the family for them when they rushed to the front line, and when they decided to start retiring and enjoying life, basically It is no longer possible to meet their demands.”

"Of course it doesn't rule out that some wives' tolerance bars explode halfway through," Jenny said.

"Yeah—that's exactly what prenuptial agreements and ordinary girls with high education need to exist." Lilian made a grimace, and said sarcastically, "Sometimes, being the spouse of a rich man is really not as good as being rich." People's children are happy."

She herself is a happy child from a rich family, and as far as Jenny knows, Mark signed a prenuptial agreement, which is also the insistence of Lilian's family.

"Sometimes the kids of the rich are unhappy—not even the rich themselves," she says, shifting her position so the water hits the sore spots on her back better. "Speaking of which, how are you and Mark doing? You haven't mentioned him on the phone for a while."

"We've had hard times and we're still adjusting," Lillian said, spreading her hands out. "You know, now that Luke is born, I can't go to Africa with Mark anymore, and , you know, my career has also ushered in the most critical period—"

In the United States, it is basically impossible to become a formal practicing doctor under the threshold of 29 or 30 years old. Counting Lilian's age, she studied in medical school for 4 years after graduating from university. She and Jenny met At that time, she just became a resident doctor, and after 6 years of training, she participated in 2 years of further study. Now is the critical moment to become a practicing doctor and re-determine her working hospital. ——Speaking of which, although doctors are not as busy as celebrities, they will never be much easier. The possibility that Lilian wants to take care of her children while going to work is almost zero.

"So, Mark is staying at home now as a stay-at-home dad?" Jenny asked, "Isn't he a good fit?"

"Of course he wants to keep working, but I think it's time for a change, you know his job doesn't pay that much." Lillian shrugged, "He's helping people and getting paid for it Salary, I'm also helping people and getting a higher salary than him, so it seems more reasonable for him to take on the family responsibilities and me to take on the social responsibilities. However, Mark doesn't like the idea of ​​never going back to Africa again."

She paused, then laughed again, "You see, every family has its own troubles, so sometimes I really envy you, j, when I live my life step by step, troubles When you are looking at my problems, you—of course you have troubles, but you are also creating legends, living the life that people imagine, and creating one movie after another... There are tens of thousands of excellent movies in the United States. Doctor, but there is only one Jennifer Jefferson."

"Oh, please." Jenny shook her head and moaned. "Your envy is only because you may not be so satisfied with your life—to be honest, you wouldn't be willing to trade with me."

Lilian didn't deny it, but she couldn't help showing some disappointment. Jenny turned over and looked at her, and said sincerely, "To be honest, when you envy me, I also envy you. You envy me for creating a legend." ——But what I envy is your..."

She asked a little cautiously, "I said normal, will you be angry?"

"Of course not." Lilian spread her hands, "Apart from my poor property, what else is unusual about me?"

Jenny laughed, "A lot, your straightforwardness and courage, your sincerity to yourself... I don't know, for me, your character is extraordinary enough."

"It seems that you are not that satisfied with your love life." Lilian said, "So, you are still not that strong, and you still want someone to accompany you?"

"I'm not a robot after all," Jenny said, "Of course, here it can be changed to—I'm not Cesare after all——"

Both girls laughed, and Lilian looked up and finished her drink.

"That's why I'm particularly interested in you and Salvi." She started recommending Salvi again, "I think he's really a good fit—it's unimaginable that he will pursue him for a long time, Salvi. People like Ervi, at least for now, feel that what they need is a casual and open relationship, and you are about to start working together, how suitable is everything, and you are so calling—— "

"Did you take money from Salvi?" Jenny couldn't help laughing, "Or are you actually a secret fan——"

Seeing the change in Lilian's expression, she pointed at the other party and shouted, "Oh, secret fans, I understand, in fact, you should have said earlier, I can definitely invite you to have a meal together——"

"Fuck you, j.j—"

The two big girls laughed and quarreled for a while, and then Lilian admitted her affection for Salvi, "At the "Monroe" Oscar, I thought you were a good match, not because of your appearance. A match, but rather - he understands you well, at least in my opinion, and chi seems to be very harmonious when you sit together. So I always hope that you can develop, after all, it's like you said Yes, j.j, you are not a machine, even Cesare needs company sometimes, let alone you?"

"Besides," she spread her hands, "you know my values. For me, whether a person is successful or not depends not only on his impact on society, but also on the quality of his personal life. Your career It’s been successful enough, what’s wrong with slowing down a bit and enjoying life in a timely manner?”

Jenny has to admit that she is right. After breaking up with Chris, her life seems to be moving in the direction of asceticism more and more. Indeed, is it necessary to go so hard? When was the last time you really enjoyed life?

"Maybe you're right." She said reluctantly, "but it's not as simple as you said—maybe for Salvi, all this is a thing of the past."

"Oh?" Lilian regained her spirits, and slid to sit next to Jenny, "Quickly - I want to know all the details! Why do you think so, did he give a signal to tell you that everything is over? ?”

"The first and last time we talked about this was in London two years ago..." Jenny told her the scene at the time, "I don't know if he thought 'I'm not going to fall in love 'The declaration has always been effective or something, of course, he must know what the marriage contract between Cesare and me is for-I think he should have more or less guessed it."

"Need to say?" Lilian snorted impatiently, "Didn't I say everything, he understands you very well——"

After thinking for a while, she said decisively and enthusiastically, "Now, listen to me, if you have a crush on him, you should undoubtedly express it now. After all, the door between you is your initiative." Close, as a gentleman, for a complex female star like you, it is very rude to ask why you are not ready to fall in love, it is tantamount to forcing you to share secrets with him - you are so married now status, so he can only wait for you to give him a signal, otherwise he always has too many concerns, doesn't he? As a gentleman—"

"...Maybe you have a point." Jenny had to admit, "Sometimes, people are limited by various factors... If you are not honest enough with yourself, if you are not brave enough, things will never work out. to change."

"At least it won't change in the short term." Lilian took a sip of her wine proudly, "And what you need most now is time."

Being able to exert influence on Jenny, she seemed to be in high spirits, "Chesa, I have completely given up--his problems are more serious than yours, this man is a hopeless case, but you are different--you There is still hope—"

She smiled to herself with satisfaction, "Now tell me, how do you plan to speak?"

"Don't ask me—how can there be an answer to this kind of thing?" Jenny immediately complained, "I didn't even make up my mind whether to take the initiative—"

She flicked Lilian's forehead, causing the latter to make a face at her and covered her forehead, "Don't think you've captured me, ma'am, you've only shaken my barrier at most, will you or not? Will take action..."

Shaking her head, she let out a long breath, "Some things are not that simple..."

Although Lilian looked at her curiously, Jenny didn't want to share any more. I'm even more serious-it sounds like this cliff villa is like "Leaping over the Cuckoo's Nest", and the people living in it are abnormal."

"Pfft, him?" Lilian rolled her eyes, "Don't let me start, or I won't be able to finish talking all night... Just talking about the fact that he is still flying in the sky is very wrong..."

Yes, Cesare, who is busy coordinating three films, is now on his way to New York, which is why two girls can gossip about him at home-in Lilian's homely flavor. Under the giggles, the night of the screening was not so difficult. Almost in the blink of an eye, it was time for the midnight show to end, and the final data of the midnight show in North America was also released within about the same time. The letters consisting of 0 and 1 were quickly sent to the mailboxes of major data statistics agencies through the broadband system in the United States, and also let those sleepless data analysis experts have their own supper reading materials...
