Andre looked at the withered Arthur and Edith with a face of schadenfreude, and held out his right hand triumphantly
But Lan Li did not stop him. Instead, he asked excitedly, "what did they lose?"
Edith, who was still depressed, gloated, raised her chin and motioned to Arthur, "his cigar box."
Blue ceremony eyebrow tail lightly a Yang, eye ground also revealed smile.
He knew that the cigar box was bought by Arthur from a private auction. The value of the object itself was not high. It was only 2000 pounds, but it was the harvest of Arthur's first private auction when he was 14 years old, which was of commemorative significance; In addition, inside the cigar box, there is also a painting of a beautiful woman's couch drawn by watercolor, which is very unique.
Andre no doubt saw the cigar box, out of curiosity, half jokingly asked for it, Arthur naturally refused.
After that, every time we met, Andre would ask for it in a prank way. It was more a prank mentality than a sincere love. Especially when Andre jokingly exchanged his contacts and business, and Arthur still disagreed, it became a fixed episode between them.
I didn't expect that Andre had it today.
However, Langley knew that Andre was only joking.
The cigar box will certainly be accepted. After all, it is a matter of integrity and dignity. If Andre refuses, it will be an insult to Arthur; But in exchange, he will certainly compensate Arthur in other ways, especially since Arthur is now independent. Andre's contacts can definitely help.
"Andre, so, how are you going to share it with me?" Lan Li said with a smile.
Andre turned his lips and said justly, "the bishop taught me not to trade with demons."
"Did the bishop teach you what would happen if you refused to trade with the devil?" Lan Li asked in no hurry.
Andre rolled his eyes silently. "You can choose to shut up. It won't affect our friendship." Edith, sitting beside her, chuckled and seemed to enjoy Andre's shriveled appearance.
Andre immediately turned his head and said solemnly, "Hey, what about you? When do you cash your bet? I think it's a good time for Curtis to go again. "
In an instant, Edith gave Andre a silent look.
Andre continues to explain to Langley, "Edith's bet is that Hollywood captain of the United States, let him come and have a meal or an afternoon tea with us. Just in time, Langley is also here. I think this is the perfect time. "
Captain America. It's derogatory here and now.
The corner of lanli's mouth outlined a shallow smile, "all of you regard me as the great devil, are you sure I will be happy?"
An understatement immediately made everyone clap, turned their eyes and pretended that nothing had happened.
At this time, the housekeeper, with the tray in his hand, appeared in the line of sight accurately, cut into the conversation at the right time, broke the embarrassing blank, and successfully found the steps for Andre, Arthur and Edith, which immediately eased the atmosphere. It can be seen from this cultivation and quality that he is a real professional.
Langley picked up the whisky in front of him and gently raised the glass to Arthur.
Getting rid of the shackles of the family and taking the first step, even in the eyes of outsiders, is extremely simple; But only when you are really in it can you understand the hardships and pain.
First Edith, then Arthur, and little by little the hall family's bonds are breaking.
Although this analogy is not accurate and appropriate, it is also true for the British royal family, first Princess Diana, then Princess Kate, and then Prince Harry - later Princess Megan. The whole aristocracy is gradually unloading their dignity and airs, looking for a new position in the 21st century.
From the individual point of view, the breakthrough and impact of lanli is undoubtedly sensational, which set off a storm in the whole upper class; However, from the perspective of the whole era, this is just a small spray, which is not worth mentioning at all.
Even without too many words, Arthur could feel the blessing of Langley.
Perhaps, at the banquet of the Earl of Oxford, when Langley invited them to Cannes, he had anticipated the arrival of this day. Although there was no expression in the words, he helped them in silence in the actions——
From the help of Andre Hamilton, to the smooth introduction of bariere group, to the smooth flow of Cannes celebrities. Arthur gained a lot from his trip to Cannes. Just after he decided to set up his own house, he successfully opened the door to Cannes, leading to many European artists and celebrities.
family affection.
For aristocratic families, this is a strange word, because the fetters of family ties are far less important than family inheritance. For the sake of the family, individuals can be sacrificed; Similarly, for the sake of family, individuals must disappear behind surnames; But now, Arthur felt it in Langley.
There is temperature.
Arthur turned his head and saw the bright light in Edith's eyes. It seemed that he had expected the present situation for a long time, which made Arthur a little embarrassed. He raised his whisky, paid homage to blue ceremony, and poured all the amber alcohol into his throat.
For a moment, the hustle and bustle of discussion settled down, and everyone silently took their glasses, saluted each other, and sipped. Bathed in the moonlight, the tranquility and peace are surging quietly. Even the night wind on the blue coast seems to bring with it the slight drunkenness and warmth of early summer.
For the first time, they just like an ordinary friend, sitting together, drinking.
Blue Li gently shakes the cup in his hand, amber alcohol is gently turning, and his eyes show a smile, "Arthur, it's better not to be your new residence, otherwise it's too impolite. Andre, you didn't protest strongly? Wait, or is the housekeeper here not aware of this? No, he doesn't look like such an avid amateur
This whisky is not from dalmo.
In other words, it's not a mistake to treat Andre Hamilton with other brands of whiskey, but it's really impolite.
Andre shrugged his shoulders and joked indifferently, "it seems that I need to keep working hard in the European market."
Arthur also showed a big smile, "this is Dominique de signe's manor. He is a very hospitable gentleman. Obviously, he has entertained many distinguished guests here. I have visited his wine cellar, which is really an eye opener. I think dalmo should also be in the collection, but he only treasures the best dalmo. The problem is that we haven't reached the level yet. "
They don't deserve the most precious dalmo.
Is this a compliment or a slander?
Lenley gently jaw head to express understanding, he is now finally awakened memories, Dominic de Senne, the current president of the bariere group, but also the gentleman who arranged hotel accommodation for lenley this time, "is he the hero who made a sensation in Paris last year?"
Andre and Arthur both nodded in affirmation, but Edith was confused and didn't know why.
"Why, have you heard all about it?" Andre was slightly surprised. "I don't think you're interested in these gossip."
"Eaton mentioned it. He and the lady are acquaintances Langley simply explained.
At the end of last year, a court case caused a sensation in France, even in Europe.
Rachida dati, former Minister of justice of France and current member of the European Parliament, is deeply involved in the famous brand storm. He is suspected of buying a large number of luxury clothes with public funds during his working life. As many as 180000 euros. In the storm, the issue of unmarried birth in 2009 has once again become the focus of attention.
To this end, the 47 year old lazida revealed that the child's biological father was Dominic de sene, 68, and most of her luxury goods came from each other's gifts. However, Dominic refused to carry out the DNA test, and the indignant lazida sued Dominic for compulsory DNA test.
In an interview, Dominic directly revealed that during his pregnancy, lazida was only one of the guests of the curtain. During the same period, lazida had an ambiguous relationship with as many as eight men, including a TV host, a minister, a chief executive officer, a former Prime Minister of Spain, a brother of former President Nicolas sarkoze, a minister, and a minister Qatar's attorney general and heir to a luxury goods company.
After the news was released, it caused a sensation throughout Europe. The problem is that lazida can't refute effectively, so there is a storm in the whole political field; And the upper class is hot, including Eaton domer, including the top luxury fashion brands are also involved.
At present, there is no update on the case.
According to French law, the man has the right to refuse DNA identification, unless the woman can further provide substantial evidence to help the court make a decision and force the completion of the relevant identification, otherwise the case can only be stuck in place. However, on the whole, when the man continues to refuse to identify, the French court has the right to think that there is something fishy in it and make a judgment against the man.
"God, I don't think I'm on the wrong set. You are discussing gossip that I haven't heard of. Excuse me, did I miss something? " Edith did not make complaints about him, but also turned a blind eye.
Arthur and Andre both cleared their throat awkwardly, pretended to drink and avoided the topic.
But Langley looked at Edith calmly and said with a smile, "I thought you were getting used to it."
