America 1982

"I still remember that when the artist who played Snow White said goodbye to me, he advised me not to be sad. There will be a new Snow White to accompany me tomorrow and make me happy." Renee Moore sat in the passenger seat and told Tang Mi talked about her childhood experience:

"But when I went back the next day, Snow White was not her. I felt sad for a long time because she was not allowed to work by her family. Her family did not allow her to work. It was too much, right? In the end, she returned to Walnut Creek. The countryside, so I think the things you do with me, Tommy, can help many women, and this is a good deed."

Renee Moore is a native of California. She lives in Anaheim, Orange County, in the Los Angeles metropolitan area, which is the location of the first Disneyland in the United States. It is only 28 kilometers away from Los Angeles.

Unlike Tommy Hawke, who grew up wildly at the age of fifteen and still believed that Spider-Man really existed, Renee knew that fairy tales were lies since she was a child, because she played in Disneyland almost every day as a child and witnessed Snow White and Sleeping Princess. Beauties will be terminated by the park when they grow old and lose their beauty. As a tourist, she endured three Sleeping Beauties and a Snow White in the park from elementary school to high school.

Tommy drove his 63-year-old Stingray, holding the steering wheel with both hands: "Are you sure you want me to accompany you to see your father? According to my experience in Warwick, knowing that my daughter was taken over by a bastard, my father's The first option is to pick up a gun and teach him a lesson about keeping his distance from his daughter."

Renee's father, Benjamin Moore, is a senior exhibition designer for a large exhibition company in Los Angeles. He mainly plans and designs various exhibitions. This time there happened to be an exhibition in Silicon Valley that he was in charge of. He came to inspect the venue, so he hoped to meet him by the way. Let’s have a meal together with our precious daughter.

"My parents are very open-minded, Tommy, and they also know about your existence. Moreover, when I first dated a boy when I was sixteen, my parents thoughtfully prepared precautions and helped the boy check the car. They did not object to me. Dating, my father told me that it is a beautiful thing to fall in love during adolescence. If you fall in love when you are older, you will miss the most beautiful and innocent age in life." Renee told Tang Mi gave a don't-worry smile and comforted her.

Hearing Renee's words, Tommy breathed a sigh of relief. In Warwick, a city with fierce folk customs, even a childhood sweetheart like his brother and Ashley, after Ashley's father, Mr. Hull, found out that Tony had slept with his daughter. The end result was that Tony was chased for two streets by Mr. Hull with a capon knife and was almost castrated.

Benjamin Moore is a forty-six-year-old genial middle-aged gentleman. He has deliberately dyed white hair, a sharp suit, a carefully trimmed beard, and an old-fashioned pipe in his hand. He looks like the kind of person who can appear in An older male model in a fashion magazine, a charming middle-aged man with an artistic flair.

This was Tommy's first impression of Benjamin.

After Renee hugged and kissed her father, she introduced Tommy to her father: "Tommy Hawke, my boyfriend in college, Tommy, this is my most enlightened and greatest father."

"Mr. Moore." Tommy shook hands with the other party and greeted politely.

As Renee said, Benjamin was very open-minded. After shaking hands with Tommy, he looked at Tommy seriously and said to his daughter: "Yes, he is just like what you told us on the phone. He is a sunshine." , a kind and simple big boy.”

When the three of them entered the French restaurant that Benjamin booked, and followed the waiter towards the table, Benjamin suddenly said: "Oh, Renee, you go to the table to order first, and I asked Tommy to accompany me to buy some computer magazines. , my exhibition arrangement this time is related to computers, because I will return to Los Angeles after the meal, so I'd better buy it before the meal, so that I can just use it to kill time while flying."

"Okay, come back as soon as possible." Renee heard her father's words and agreed without thinking too much.

But Tommy Hawke immediately felt uneasy, just like Tony's nervousness before being chased by Mr. Hull with an axe.

"Accompany me to the nearest newsstand. I need your professional advice, Tommy." Benjamin took the lead and walked towards the door of the restaurant. As he walked, he didn't forget to turn his head and glance at Tommy Hawke, with a smile on his face. But his eyes were sharp.

Tommy followed the guy out the door dejectedly, cursing in a low voice as he walked: "It turns out that threatening or beating your date behind your daughter's back is called being enlightened."

After walking to the corner outside the restaurant and making sure that Renee couldn't see the two of them, Benjamin turned around and grabbed Tommy's collar: "Asshole! What did you do to my daughter!"

"Calm down, Mr. Moore, we just did what we should do on a normal date." Tommy raised his hands and said in his most sincere tone: "Hugging, kissing... okay, actually we did the last step, but I I don’t think that in college…”

"Of course I know you did those normal dating things! I want to know the abnormal ones! You're fucking going to trick my daughter into becoming your pimp! Right?" Benjamin glared at Tommy and growled.

Tommy was dumbfounded, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "What did I ask Renee to do? Sir, do you have any misunderstandings about me?"

"You placed advertisements in magazines such as "Happy Hunter" for the purpose of training women. Normal business would not be published in those things. Renee also told me that you asked her to join a women's equality campus organization, so, In the name of equal rights, you recruited those call girls and asked Renee to help you manage them." Benjamin said to Tommy: "Stop pretending to be innocent, I have seen through you, the bastard named Tommy Hawke, I We will report your problem to the school and send you back to where you belong."

Tommy put down his raised hand and rubbed his face vigorously: "Mr. Moore, I did place advertisements in those magazines, but I am not planning to open a brothel or escort entertainment company. I am planning to teach those women how to use computers. , so that they can find a decent job.”

Benjamin was too lazy to listen to Tommy's explanation: "Don't say such nonsense, I won't believe you. I am not my poor and innocent daughter. No matter how you pretend, it can't change the fact that you are a pimp."

"If I was going to be a pimp, then Stanford University would have fucking provided me with the entrepreneurial capital to open a brothel! Their review is more detailed than your private knowledge, Mr. Moore!" Tommy broke away from Benjamin's hand and grabbed his hand. , too lazy to maintain respect for this guy who doubted himself, said in a mocking tone: "Stanford students become pimps, shit! You might as well say that I become a lower-level cowherd, and you can humiliate me even more!"

"Are you sure?" Benjamin was stunned when he saw Tommy say that he had received entrepreneurial funding from Stanford University. Just like Tommy said, the university's review was more detailed than what he knew privately.

Seeing that the other party had calmed down slightly, Tommy nodded: "Of course, Renee is not an idiot. She has the ability to distinguish right from wrong, okay? She is no longer the innocent little girl in your eyes. To be honest, my kissing skills are even worse. It was taught by her! There must be something wrong somewhere."

"But that's what Renee told us."

"Renee told you that I was going to open a brothel?"

"No, she said to me when she called, you put an advertisement in "Happy Finder" and said you helped women find jobs. I didn't believe it, because it was like me telling people that I love the full job of exhibition design. Artistic work is like nonsense, what I love is the high salary of this job, so you must be prepared to make money by deceiving women." Benjamin said to Tommy:

"Then I learned another news from her mother. She secretly told her mother that she bought more than a dozen pieces of underwear, so her mother and I were shocked that our daughter was studying at Stanford University. Or are you engaged in some illegal occupation?"

"I can explain, these are two completely different things, Mr. Moore, I..." Tommy heard Benjamin's words and realized that the two things Renee mentioned made the old father piece together a scene in his mind. In a big drama, he became an ambitious pimp who wanted to deceive and use her daughter and prepare to build an escort empire. No wonder he looked like he was ready to be sent to prison.

But before Tommy could finish speaking, Renee quickly walked out of the restaurant and saw her father and Tommy on the corner of the street. She didn't care to wonder why the two didn't buy magazines. Instead, she took the magazine that Tommy had put in her handbag. The pager said to Tommy: "Tommy! Jason asked you to call back as soon as you see the message!"

The previous chapter was blocked and part of the content was rewritten, which directly affected the original content of this chapter. I could only temporarily write a small incident to overdo it. I thought about how to continue the main plot without being affected.
