Chapter 686

In a moment.

The hall family met for the first time in two years, but in a moment. From meeting to parting, it's only two minutes. Those strangers who meet for the first time at the party are about the same level. But it was only a two minute conversation, but it was full of information; And then they had a good fight against the next winter hunting.

In full view of the public, under the lock of countless double gossip line of sight, this is their ultimate. People with clear eyes can see that the youngest son of the hall family is a thorn in the head, which not only stings George and Elizabeth's face, but also stings the dignity of the hall couple.

In London, the upper class social circle disappeared for nearly two years. Everyone thought that Langley had been exiled. Just like the scandal protagonist in the family before, he was exiled to Sicily or the highlands of Scotland, far away from the public view, living a miserable and lonely life. In this way, he was gradually forgotten and died.

At least, Mr. and Mrs. hall are showing this attitude.

However, two years later, Lan Li returned to China with his head raised high, and returned to China in a dignified and open manner. As a Hollywood actor, and also a commercial popcorn actor, this is not a commendable honor. However, the temperament and details displayed by lanli have gradually transformed into the light of the artist, which makes people pay attention to it.

Perhaps this description is not accurate, but people do think of the count of Monte Cristo, who came back strongly with a desire for revenge. However, Lan Li did not disguise himself as someone else, or even put on the mask of aristocratic life, so he appeared in the public eye again.

What a good play!

It's just a two minute conversation, but for the boring people in the upper class, it's the afternoon tea talk of the next month. Eyes, expression, tone, action, and even the word by word of words will become the focus of people's discussion, and then interpret from their own perspective.

What's more, it's just the beginning.

Obviously, the youngest son of the hall family has made a name in Hollywood. In the future, if his career is more and more prosperous, the scar on the hall family's facade will be bigger and bigger, and it will be more and more difficult to cover up the ugly.

One day, things will come to an end. Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, and George and Elizabeth come up with a way to cut off all the connections between Langley and the British upper class; If the west wind prevails over the east wind and lenley rises strongly and is recognized as an artist, then lenley will become a figure like Wolfgang Mozart and a target pursued by countless aristocrats.

The story is so familiar that it reminds people of "the moon and Sixpence".

So, how will the hall family play end? Among the whispers, people later found that the topic of the hall family is obviously more than that. ALF, who is a doctor, Arthur, who has contacts all over Europe, Edith, the official photographer of the United Nations, and the gossip of this family seem to be worth digging out.

Come in a hurry, leave the warning behind and leave in a hurry. Langley is not surprised, at least compared with last year's ALF, tonight's George and Elizabeth seem to be forced to the corner, the eyes and words reveal a trace of real emotion, and still in full view of the public, which is really not easy.

It can be imagined that after going back tonight, George and Elizabeth are bound to sleep in separate rooms, and then say nothing, cold to the extreme. It's their way of dealing with anger, not yelling it out.

George and Elizabeth didn't leave the party immediately because it would make them look embarrassed. On the contrary, they stayed for a long time and socialized freely, as if the episode was just a conversation within the family. At about eight thirty-five, they left the party.

After the hall couple left, John was confused. He knew little about the verbal confrontation between the nobles. Then lanli began to talk about "Peter Pan" again, and he withdrew his attention and began to talk again.

Standing beside him, Eaton shook his head helplessly, patted lanli on the shoulder, gave a sign in his eyes, and then turned to leave. He is the host tonight, and there are a lot of guests to be entertained.

Seeing Eaton leave, lanli noticed the sight coming from behind and looked up. Then he saw two figures on the balcony on the second floor, Arthur and Edith.

Edith's whole upper body was pressed on the railing. The amber whisky in her right hand seemed to be full of stars under the light. She could see the bright smile at the corner of her mouth and noticed the sight of Lan Li. She also raised her glass to Lan Li to celebrate.

Arthur's waist was leaning against the railing, and his upper body was a bit lazy, just like a cat who didn't wake up. He also held a glass of whisky in his hand. His fingertips grasped the edge of the glass and shook it gently. His eyes narrowed slightly, showing a sense of satisfaction and ease in watching a good play. His eyes fell on Lan Li without concealment. Then he whispered something to Edith, and they both laughed.

Lanli didn't mind either. He raised his glass of champagne, motioned to them, gave them a light smile, then drew back his eyes and continued to talk with John.

But when she caught the sly light in lanli's eyes, Edith was stunned. Her smile stopped at the corner of her mouth. "Arthur, do you think lanli is calculating something? Why do I feel like we've been counted in? "

Arthur also noticed the smile of Langley. Before he had time to think deeply, he heard Edith's guess, "no, we haven't done anything. What's more, lanli is very busy for a while. Where can he take care of us? "

"But we did watch a good play here just now, and we robbed the VIP box." Edith said hesitantly that even George and Elizabeth didn't find them, but Langley noticed.

Two people did not speak, just quietly looking at each other, and then quietly looked away, made the same action: lift their glasses, sipping a whisky. Not long later, the two left one after another without saying a word and went their separate ways.

Lanli and John didn't talk too long. John repeatedly told lanli not to forget his basic skills, and said that he would go to the cinema to watch "crazy love" and see lanli's "real material" in a while. Because John has never seen "buried alive" or "the Pacific War", he has always been skeptical of the so-called praise of the media. Now "Crazy" finally has the opportunity to take a good look.

After leaving John, Langley just stood where he was, and a steady stream of people came to visit him. Some of them are old acquaintances, especially those from Cambridge University. Cambridge University has always been a place for further study with a strong artistic atmosphere. Many students have entered Hollywood or drama circles; Some are completely unfamiliar faces, can't wait to come forward and make friends with Lan Li.

Tonight's opening ceremony is not a gathering of nobles, but a business party. Therefore, although there are aristocrats, there are also many young upstarts in different fields.

Such a fierce rising trend of popular actors as lanli is always the most popular in such occasions. Because after the party, when showing off to friends, "I made a Hollywood star" is always more worth discussing than "I met an earl".

However, he didn't stay long. At about 8:45, he left Eaton.

Leaving the house, instead of looking for a taxi or calling Richard, Langley walked slowly down the street. In the night, you can hear the sound from the wet road and reverberate in the quiet streets. It seems that you can't even hear the sound of the engine passing by. It's hard to imagine that it's Saturday night, and it's less than nine o'clock.

Sitting in front of Arthur, he can take his time; Standing in front of George, he can be upright and upright; Standing in front of Elizabeth, he could fight back. In the cold, he never seemed to lie in or care. Perhaps, deep in his heart, he never took this place as his home. Or, once there was, now it no longer exists.

Looking up at the dark sky, I can't see the stars. The rich night seems to turn into raindrops at any time. Naturally in my mind is the sky in New York, and the sky in Los Angeles. At this moment, he missed the sunshine in California, where the night was always so beautiful and moving, the warm sea breeze came, the starry sky fell, the laughter of boys and girls, the noise of engines, the music of bars and nightclubs reverberated in his ears, so lively, so lonely, so comfortable, so free.

"When we were born, we were waiting for death; Embrace the dream, but never won your recognition; I have been working hard to ease the relationship between us. You are so perfect but so cruel. You say that the love of the whole world can't be satisfied. Nothing can hurt me more than this truth. "

He used to work so hard, he used to cherish, he used to be so persistent, he wanted to make up for the regret of the last life with his family affection. He looked up at Elizabeth, he longed for George, but he was hurt again and again. His enthusiasm cooled down, and he forced himself to be strong Cold down, independent, into an invincible, indomitable Langley hall.

But when you really stand face to face, your inner softness is still hit again. The world is big, but there is no place to place it.

"Dear, welcome back to my California home, you don't need to call to inform, you can leave at any time, the inner vision is hanging at the head of the bed, the unknown light is flashing under the eyes, I don't know, please tell me, because I want to know, do you still feel lonely?"

Are you still lonely?
