The atmosphere in the car running on the streets of New York was a bit depressing. Apart from giving Auston Smith a strong hug outside the airport at the beginning, Andy was a bit overwhelmed after getting in the car. It was not because of the panic of time travel, but because he didn't know what to say. After all, Auston Smith had always played the role of a strict father in Andy's past memories.
"Well, seeing your current figure, your mother should be relieved." Austin coughed lightly, breaking the somewhat dull and awkward atmosphere.
"Haha, your previous life was a bit too indulgent. Health is the foundation. You and mom should also pay attention to your physical health. Regular check-ups are necessary." To be honest, Andy's body shape at this time is a bit scary. He is about 1.9 meters tall, with muscles protruding all over his body. Although he is not the kind of exaggerated muscular big guy, he gives the impression of being very strong.
"You also know that you were too indulgent in the past? When I saw those reports about you in the past, I couldn't believe that was my son..." Auston seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Andy, and snorted coldly.
"Stop, okay. I know I was wrong, and I'm really sorry for bringing shame to the Smith family! Please let me go since I just came back, OK?" Andy frowned slightly with a bit of impatience, as if affected by his memory.
"You really haven't made any progress at all. I thought you had matured, but you're still the same as before." Austin raised his voice and spoke sternly.
"OK, OK, I don't want to argue with you. The Smith family's glory is protected by you and Grandpa. Let me go! We've argued many times about this issue. If it really doesn't work out, you and my mom can have another child to inherit that ridiculous glory..." Andy's mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of a sneer, and he retorted unhappily. It seemed that these words were on the tip of his tongue, and he said them without thinking. After that, he muttered in a low voice that only he could hear, "Family glory, you really think it's the Middle Ages."
"Shut up! You..." Looking at his son with a disdainful expression, Auston was furious. He thought his son had matured, but he didn't expect that he was still as childish and disobedient as before, and still the kind of infuriating sarcasm. All his good mood disappeared. He was his father, but he still talked back to him without giving in as before.
Seeing his father's face filled with rage, his breathing heavy, his eyes fierce, Andy couldn't help but shudder slightly. What was wrong with him? No way, this damn memory was really haunting him, affecting his emotions and judgment. Damn, I'm not going to become schizophrenic, am I?
Andy had a panic expression on his face. He was afraid that Auston would suspect something, so he pretended to be angry and turned to look at the scenery outside the car window, leaving his father with a very handsome back of his head.
Seeing his son's panic expression, Auston couldn't help but calm down his anger and snorted coldly. He felt good about himself and imagined that his son was still afraid of him. He backed off when he saw him getting angry. But, damn it, how could my son be so unlovable!
If Andy knew what Auston was thinking, he would definitely tell him that he was overthinking it.
The car drove into Manhattan. Andy's home was located on Park Avenue in Manhattan's Upper East Side, where there was culture, shopping, and the wealthiest residents of New York City. The Upper East Side is where many of the wealthiest New Yorkers live. It is also home to art galleries and brand-name shopping malls. Of course, the most famous one is Central Park. Andy's home is in an apartment building next to it.
18% of New York's lawyers, 18% of public relations and advertising managers, 21% of management analysts and 14% of sales agents live in the Upper East Side, while about 16% of economists live in the Upper East Side, which is an area in New York with a high concentration of high-income families.
Andy's eyes were a little blurry. Is this where he grew up in this life? It really makes people jealous. Fortunately, he has already killed himself.
Otherwise, how could Song Diaosi get such a good deal? Even though his remaining memories can still cause some troubles, I really feel so happy.
When he regained consciousness, he glanced unnaturally at the silent Auston Smith, his father in this life. Seeing a hint of loss on his face, his heart tightened. Not only did he occupy his son's body, but even though the words he just said were not his original intention, they came out of his mouth after all, and perhaps they really hurt his heart.
People should not go too far. Since you occupy someone else's body, you will naturally inherit everything from him, including the bad father-son relationship.
"I'm sorry, you know I didn't mean to say those words, I apologize." Andy apologized in a low voice, but his eyes were still looking out the window, pretending that I apologized, but I was just a little thin-skinned.
"Hmm? Okay, I accept your apology. How long do you plan to stay this time?" Auston was a little surprised. Seeing his son rarely bow his head to admit his guilt, he was very happy. He pretended to be magnanimous and accepted the apology, and asked with a stern face.
"I came back this time mainly to visit you and my mom, and to participate in the recording of a TV show. I will stay for two or three weeks." Andy withdrew his gaze from the scenery and looked at Auston. Seeing his serious expression, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The image of his father overlapped with the image of the stern but weak and fragile father in his memory.
"Speaking of being on TV, your mother was really excited for a long time when The Ellen Show was broadcast. She didn't expect you to know so many languages. It's great that you can learn so many languages by yourself." Auston's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He suppressed the pride in his heart and pretended to be calm.
Andy's five senses have almost reached a perverted level now. Although he can't see in the dark, he can still clearly see Austin's relieved expression through the dim street lights. The corners of his mouth twitched. He is really a strict father who is so obsessed with face that he suffers in return!
"How is it possible to learn so many languages? Apart from English, Chinese and French, I can only communicate in simple Japanese and Korean. The others are just a few sentences learned for writing that song." Andy explained casually. He was not so shameless as to admit that he could speak 13 languages. Of course, with his current IQ, it would not be difficult to learn these languages, but it was totally unnecessary, right? Who the hell cares whether he can speak Thai or not, especially when there is such a difficult dialect like Cantonese.
"Oh, I said it's impossible for you to master so many languages after not seeing you for five or six months. Your mother didn't believe it and said you were a genius or something. Humph, there are not so many geniuses!" Austin seemed to have verified his guess. He looked like I knew you were not that kind of material, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
Andy was really a little crazy. It was really annoying. What kind of look was that? Was he really his biological son?
"Hehe..." Andy's lips curled into a smile, his tone unconsciously tinged with emotion. "It's not that difficult, actually. It's just unnecessary. After all, English is my mother tongue. If you master Chinese, the most difficult language in the world, and French, which is second only to Chinese in difficulty, you can basically speak it without any obstacles around the world. The key is that it's better to read some classics in their original versions. For ordinary people, just mastering your mother tongue is enough. After all, not everyone is a genius."
"Ahem..." Auston almost choked to death on Andy's words. He clenched and unclenched his hands unconsciously, and finally revealed an awkward and unnatural stiff smile. "Haha, that's true. But, I saw the news today, what's the story behind you and that Marissa?"
Hearing the words squeezed out from his teeth, Andy couldn't help but feel amused. "How can I believe what the paparazzi wrote? Besides, that's my private life."
"You..." Auston was a little mad. That damned brat was still so stubborn. No, he couldn't let him get away with it. He calmed down his anger and sneered, "Really? Your mother is very concerned and very angry about that woman in the news."
Andy shuddered and asked in a panic, "What did Mom say?"
Seeing his son's panic, Auston unconsciously raised his chin slightly, and the upturned corners of his mouth showed his current pride. "Little guy, I can't cure you. Are you scared? Your mother won't vomit blood like me because of your backtalk."
Andy saw his father's smug look, suppressed his panic, and pretended to be calm as he explained, "It's nothing, actually. Marissa and I are just friends. The news is all nonsense. Mom will listen to my explanation."
"Hehe~~ Then I wish you good luck! You are involved with a woman of such an old age, haha, and she is from the fashion circle. These unknown models don't have a good reputation. Hey, some people go crazy when they get angry, tut tut..." Auston muttered maliciously, putting on a smug look as if you are going to be unlucky.
Damn, am I really his biological child?
Andy thought with some malice that the current Auston Smith was a perfect example of a villain who had achieved success.
Andy didn't know why he was so frightened, but he knew that this instinctive reaction was due to the deep memories of his previous self. Could it be that his mother was some kind of demon? He began to enter a supernatural state, looking through the remaining memories in his mind.
It's over, a complete tragedy.
After reviewing her memories, Andy rubbed her temples in a state of despair. Her mother was truly a demon. The record was two hours of non-stop nagging, with exaggerated expressions of sadness and hurt, and all sorts of petty tempers, which simply drove Andy crazy.
"Ahem~~~Ahem, I'm coming back to see you guys, so I asked Marissa to accompany me to buy some gifts. I bought a box of gifts, and specially picked out a tie and a wallet for you, as well as two exquisite cufflinks..." Andy suppressed his panic and forced a smile unnaturally, knowing that the only person who could help him now was his father who was standing next to him with a smug look on his face.
"Hmph!" Aston looked at his panicked son, feeling so happy in his heart. I let you talk back, I let you laugh at the glory of my Smith family, I let you laugh at me being an ordinary person!
Looking at his arrogant father, the happiness was definitely from the bottom of his heart. The smug expression of "I just want to see you get into trouble" made Andy's mouth twitch repeatedly, and he squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
"Tell me, what do you want? Don't go too far!"
