Kensington - Chelsea is located in the west of London, a senior residential area, adjacent to Hyde Park, green park, convenient transportation, beautiful scenery, and far away from the busy tourist attractions in the city center, nearby there are private senior tennis club, senior top whiskey club, etc., quiet and modern.
As a result, a large number of middle-class professional white-collar workers and senior freelancers, some famous artists and designers, as well as the young descendants of the down and out aristocracy, gradually began to gather here, and then formed a young middle-class community.
Kensington - chelsley has a potential to replace the noisy and expensive, old and outdated community of Knightsbridge. However, it is more like a pure living community with complete supporting facilities, but it has a strong flavor of life, without too much commercial atmosphere, so that people can calm down and integrate into life.
When you leave the main street and enter the residential area on the right side, the two lane is not spacious, or even narrow. Occasionally, you will encounter vehicles parked on the side of the road, so you have to slow down to avoid accidents. From a distance, you can see the white building of the double story building. The temporary parking spaces at the door are full. The bright lights and melodious music revealed in the windows of the two stories spread slowly in the cold night. All signs indicate that this is the destination of lanli tonight.
In addition to Saville street, high-end custom clothing stores, or top private buyer stores, as well as niche designer stores, are more popular now. They are hidden in the city and arranged in ordinary residential areas. Only through word of mouth and friends' introduction can they find their way. Otherwise, even if they have a Golden Mountain and a silver mountain, they want to enter the private circle of the upper class society, It's still more difficult.
Lanli can't help but think of Melvin brads, the first stylist he met after lanli and Andy decided to cooperate. Melvin's office also chose a private residence, but the meeting was not a pleasant memory. It's just that the current trend of private housing is spreading from Europe to the North American continent.
"Master lanli, what time will you come to pick you up later?" The car for tonight was sent by Philip, one of the three drivers of the hall family, Richard Martin. He is the youngest. He is only thirty-five years old this year. He has inherited his father's job.
"Richard, go and enjoy your own Saturday night. I'll find a car and go back. " Langley said with a smile, as if he knew what Richard was going to say. He added, "if you can't find it, there's a taxi. This is the 21st century. Life is not that hard. " He patted Richard on the shoulder, then lanli pushed the door and got off.
Richard looked at lanli's back as he left quickly. He didn't even have time to unbutton his seat belt, let alone get out of the car and open the door. In the end, he could only shout to lanli's back, "call me when the party is over." Lan Li waved casually and disappeared into the green shade of the door.
Open the door on the first floor, the door is unlocked, and the warm air inside comes. Standing at the door is a woman of about 25 or 6 years old. She is wearing a well cut Lavender suit. Her face is brightened by her light blue shirt. Her dark brown hair is braided into fishbone braids, which droops down. She is mature with a little girl's playfulness, But not too impolite.
When the guest came, the woman took the initiative to welcome her. When she saw Lan Li's face, she could not help pausing slightly. The "welcome" on her lips actually stopped for a moment. Then the smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth made her come back to herself, and the words in her throat said, "welcome, Mr. Lan Li."
Lan Li didn't rush in. He looked up and looked around. This is a very ordinary residential building. The kitchen is on the left and the living room is on the right.
However, at this time, the kitchen has become a rest room, you can see the center of the fruit tray and snacks, next to the drinks; The living room turned into a reception room, with a gantry placed against the four corners of the wall with all kinds of clothes hanging on it. The open space in the center was completely cleared, and people gathered in twos and threes, carrying a glass of champagne and chatting in a low voice.
Right in front is an aisle. On the left side, you can walk all the way to the end. There is a sign of "toilet". On the right side, there is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor.
The whole space is mainly beige and light blue, generous and warm, revealing a strong home atmosphere. It doesn't look like a clothing store at all. It's more like a home creation space for designers. This should be what Eaton wants to achieve.
"You can go to the left to find some food, and then go to the right to enjoy the music and relax." The woman began to introduce it with a smile. She has repeated it for 20 or 30 times tonight, and has been familiar with it for a long time. "If you are interested, you can go to the second floor, where is the private customized space, and some designers' works."
Lan Li gently closed his jaw, didn't say much, and walked to the left kitchen.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, then walked quickly through the crowd: where's Eaton? More importantly, where are George hall and Elizabeth hall now? God, the time for Mars to hit the earth is finally coming. What should we do now? What should I do?
Lan Li didn't have to look back to know that the receptionist had gone for help. It's eight eighteen. George and Elizabeth are on the scene. I believe that in only three minutes, all the people in the whole room will spread the news, waiting for the good play. Of course, there may be other gossip worthy of discussion, but Langley has been absent from London social circle for two years, so it is difficult to keep up with the speed of gossip.
"Jesus Christ." Before the first drop of the champagne in lanli's hand, a voice came from behind. Without looking back, lanli knew who was coming. Who else could be so excited but Edith?
Turning around, Langley saw Edith's excited eyes, "calm down. This is London. You don't want anyone to see you like that. " Blue Li smile to persuade, but let Edith secretly turned a white eye, big white eye.
In the UK, Edith is still the official co photographer of the United Nations and the second daughter of the hall family who devoted herself to charity. Look at Edith's dress today. A white suit suit, black collocation, handsome, even handsome, but no eye shadow, no black nail polish, no Losangeles's unruly and arrogant, I can see that she is hiding behind this mask. Clever and sensible to play the role of the second daughter of the hall family.
Today, however, Edith didn't plan to quarrel with lanli. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and said, "did you mean it?" Deliberately choose this time point to appear, meet with George and Elizabeth.
Lan Li is noncommittal.
But it was this simple expression that made Edith happy. Her eyes were full of schadenfreude. She was almost ready to cheer for lanli.
"Lan Li?" There was Eaton's voice behind her. Edith didn't say anything more. She just blinked her right eye. Then she regained her usual look and waited for Eaton's arrival. After a simple greeting, she turned and left. Randy knew that Edith must have been looking for the audience.
But Eaton, with a simple mind, came up and gave lanli a big hug. "Just now they told me that you showed up. I can't believe it. Haven't you been very busy recently? The last time I talked to Matthew, he mentioned your latest developments. "
"To be honest, I only got 30 minutes out today." Langley made a serious joke.
But Eaton took it seriously. "Five minutes is enough." Eaton looked around. "George and Elizabeth are on the second floor now. Shall I take you up?"
"I'm not a guest. I don't need a referral." Lan Li said lightly, "is there any special guest you need to introduce? I haven't been in touch for two years. It seems that I have added a lot of strange faces. "
"This is London." Eaton laughed. "It's still those old faces that are worth knowing; As for those unfamiliar faces you haven't seen before, it means there's no value in making friends. " To put it bluntly, the explanation is: strangers are all upstarts with unstable foundation, or upstarts. For business, they are worth developing; But for actors like Langley, it's really not necessary to get to know each other.
Having said that, Eaton is not a mean person, just a joke, "but there's someone you want to know for sure." Eaton left the kitchen with Langley and went into the hall.
The sight of quietly looking down on Lan Li's body, exploring, examining, observing, just a look, it contains the weight of indescribable. But Lan Li did not evade, but took the initiative to hold up the champagne, to meet the first line of sight, "Nicholas, this time of hunting, will you join? It's been raining recently, so it's bound to increase the difficulty of hunting. Henry likes hunting in rainy days best
Two years later, the youngest son of the hall family reappeared in the social circle of London's upper class society, with rumors and rumors that attracted people's attention. But Lan Li didn't panic at all. He took it easy.
Talk, it's a skill. Instead of asking about the current situation, filling in the blanks and recalling the past, he asked about a relatively neutral topic. It's like ALF's antique collection. It's like this winter's hunting. Nicholas, like Henry Dunlop, was a hunter.
Time can change a lot of things, but aristocratic life is boring, but their interests will not change dramatically. Even though Nicholas no longer likes hunting, hunting in winter is still a hot topic. In silence, the gap of time disappeared.
