Chapter 242

On the open street, an old man with white hair was holding a huge paper bag, which was filled with sticks and parsley, as well as a large bottle of milk. Obviously, she had just bought from the supermarket. She walked leisurely and leisurely. The trivial sound of footsteps made the street more peaceful.

Two figures, a man and a woman, were standing at the bottom of the apartment.

A man is tall and straight. He wears a black suit with a white shirt. With only a few strokes, he outlines the cool and elegant temperament, such as a sword out of the sheath eyebrow and deep facial features. He wears a pair of black framed glasses, and his unsmiling expression adds a touch of abstinence style, which makes people shy away.

Women are petite, only to the man's chest, sky blue shirt and dark gray skirt appear dignified and virtuous, but not too aggressive, on the sole of the foot unexpectedly stepping on a pair of black flat sole single shoes, less some of the sharp heels, but more approachable, with a light warm smile on his face, like a spring breeze.

The woman turned her head and saw Lan Li stopping. She waved her hand gently. "Long time no see, Lan Li."

Lan Li took the cigarette out of his mouth, and his eyes fell on the man next to him, eyebrow tail gently picking. Matthew shrugged innocently and showed his innocence by spreading his hands.

The smile of the woman standing next to him was still elegant, as if she didn't see the sight communication between lanli and Matthew. Wen Sheng said, "it's raining in London these two days, and the weather is not very good. It's not easy to get a little bit of sun today. It's clear the day after tomorrow. I haven't seen you for a long time. London in autumn is always nostalgic, isn't it

This elegant woman is elf hall, another elder sister of Langley, and the oldest child in the family. She is one year older than Arthur and is 28 years old.

ALF is a legend of the hall family. She sticks to her dream and complies with the family's expectation to become a surgeon. Although in the eyes of elders is still "public appearance", although in the upper class society is still "not suitable for marriage", but at least the professional image of the surgeon has been enough recognition.

Moreover, compared with Edith and Langley, Alf has to be said to be an example in the eyes of George and Elizabeth.

But if Langley were to judge ALF, he would say: This is another Elizabeth hall.

The filming of "crazy love" has been going on for four days. If including the day of his arrival, he has been in London for five days, and ALF is late. But what's more interesting is that George and Elizabeth have no news at all, and Arthur is as if he had never come back to London.

Even if we met, Alf's appearance overlapped with the image in Langley's memory again, and it seemed that there was no change at all.

Advance and retreat properly, moderate and appropriate, etiquette in place. The opening dialogue mentioned the weather, as if they had only met yesterday. They were not unfamiliar with each other, and they didn't deliberately mention sensitive topics such as actors and going home. Everything was just right, but lanli couldn't refuse to respond.

"Edinburgh is so beautiful this season that you should go there for a holiday." Lenley responded with a smile. Then he walked over and put the cigarette in his mouth again. Then he held up the cigarette case in his hand. ALF looked down at the cigarette brand in lenley's hand and shook his head.

This little action made Lan Li smile. Deja vu, everything is so deja vu, perhaps, he really did not leave it.

"Are you going to Edinburgh for your holiday?" ALF said with a smile. "I thought you would want to stay in London, and Edith would be back next week. You know, the busiest time of the year. "

London Fashion Week. Edith, as a top character photographer, is bound to be very busy. To be exact, the next month will be very busy.

With a shrug of his shoulders, Langley had no intention of answering, but ALF didn't care, and then said, "how long will you stay in London this time? We really don't have much time to meet. Let's have a good conversation at dinner some other day. How was your trip? Is everything satisfactory? "

Travel, as if he was just a long trip to New York, not a challenge to the actor's dream.

"Good, everything is good." "I went to New York to see it, and then I stayed in Los Angeles for a while. At least, the weather is better than London. "

"Of course, of course." ALF nodded gently. Her expression was still mild, as if she was undergoing a delicate surgical operation. She had to keep her emotion stable without too much fluctuation. "After returning to London, did you see any drama worth recommending? You always have a special eye for drama, and the west end seems to be getting busy again. "

In the face of such a problem, lanli was almost ready to laugh. However, years of internal skill made him hold back, "no, I haven't had a chance to go to the west end yet. I don't know if Matthew told you. I've been busy working recently. "

"Oh, work." ALF raised her chin, her white and elegant neck was like a swan, without any flaw. "Yes, Matthew mentioned it to me." Matthew and lanli exchanged a sight, and both of them had a smile of sarcasm. "However, I just boldly bought a thing from sonachayin antique store, a red pottery cow made in the fifth century A.D., and I was appreciating it, so that I forgot this detail."

"You know, I'm so busy at work that I have almost no leisure activities now. I have to find something to relax. I used to be keen on reading, but now I find that reading doesn't seem to ease my mood. I'd like to go to see some plays in the west end, but I don't have a good choice. Are you sure you don't have any recommendations? "

ALF's bland conversation, with her unique tenderness and tonality, is slow. The topic revolves around lanli, then skilfully avoids it, and finally returns to herself. After a conversation, there is nothing substantive.

This kind of feeling is really long time no see.

"Sorry, I really don't have any recommendations." Lanli's affirmative reply made ALF show a clear look, but she was not disappointed, just nodded faintly, "in fact, I have to go back to work now, other colleagues are waiting for me. Would you like to have a look? My colleagues won't mind if you like

Langley knew that ALF would refuse.

"No, it's too impolite." ALF shook his head politely. "I have to go back to the hospital now, too. My lunch break is coming to an end, and I have room patrol in the afternoon." ALF looked up into Langley's eyes and said with a smile, "are you going to continue your journey?"

"Yes." Blue Li gave a positive reply with a smile.

"Well, have a good trip." ALF said politely, as if they were strangers in a social situation. Then she nodded and left.

As he watched ALF leave, Matthew opened his hands and explained in a low voice, "she forced me to do this. She called the office, and I pretended not to be there. Then she sent a bunch of flowers to the office, which was accompanied by a letter of greeting." Thinking of the content of the greeting letter, Matthew felt goose bumps behind him - scared, "and then she called again."

Blue Li patted Matthew on the shoulder, showing a smile, "you go back to work quickly. ALF is still waiting for you to stop the taxi for him A real lady will not stop herself for rent. She must have a gentleman.

Matthew rolled a white eye, a look of sadness and indignation, which was out of place with his cool temperament. Then he gave blue a hug, turned around and quickly caught up with the pace of ALF's departure.

Lanli knows that Matthew can't refuse ALF, because ALF won't give Matthew room and space to refuse. Even if Matthew continues to escape, Alf can achieve her goal.

ALF's appearance today, in fact, is to bring greetings on behalf of the hall family, on behalf of George and Elizabeth, to see the current state of Langley. By contrast, ALF is the most suitable person.

The relationship between Raleigh and ALF is neither intimate nor hostile. ALF is a typical self reliant, her relationship with everyone in the family is not far, not particularly close, not particularly distant, she skillfully and tactfully walks back and forth between the various relationships, as if an outsider, meticulously maintains this seemingly harmonious and united family which has long been broken up.

Even when George and Elizabeth had the idea of divorce, it was ALF who mediated between them - not because she was worried about her parents' divorce, but because she was worried that divorce would become a scandal in the upper class and affect the reputation of the whole family.

This is ALF.

So, Alf's mission today is to appear, show up and greet. She didn't mean it, "greeting" is her ultimate goal. After completing the task, she naturally retired. She won't get involved in this mess. She won't defend George and Elizabeth. She won't think about Langley. As long as Langley doesn't go out of the way to damage the family's reputation, she will continue to stay out of it.

This is a step to break the deadlock, but also a step to maintain the status quo.

Langley believes that after ALF goes back, he can be quiet for at least a while, and they won't come to disturb him again.

He had expected such a situation. Even the content of ALF's appearance and conversation didn't exceed the expected range, but when it really happened, he couldn't help breathing out. Perhaps, after he returned to London, his performance was affected after all. He was not as calm and restrained as he imagined, and he was not as indifferent as he imagined.

All of a sudden, Langley missed Edith and Arthur. At least they were alive.
