Edith was unconsciously spinning her champagne glass and quietly listening to the conversation beside her, but it was obvious that her attention had drifted to other places; No special eyes, movements or expressions, but can clearly feel her absent-minded and restless.
This kind of Edith, set off in the punk girl's smoky makeup, reveals a trace of vulnerability.
This makes blue Li's eyes appear a light smile, "you say, should I be lenient?"
"Will you?" Matthew asked back without any hesitation.
As he spoke, Chris's steps came to them. "Hey! How are you feeling tonight? " Chris said hello as light as he could, but both lenley and Matthew just nodded slightly, which made Chris a little flustered. At this time, he realized that his situation was not very favorable.
Originally, Chris was still worried that he would be too high and arrogant if he stood up and sat down; But the reality is that the other side is as stable as a mountain, and he is embarrassed. On the contrary, it is like the scene of being disciplined in the headmaster's office in middle school, which immediately makes Chris fall behind.
Looking back, Chris pulls a low sofa over and sits down directly opposite Lanley and Matthew.
"You should have heard that I'm not a friendly person, right?" Blue Li took the initiative to speak, but the first sentence let Chris sit up.
"No, of course not." Reflexively, Chris repeatedly waved his hand, denying it with social politeness and greetings.
Lanli didn't buy it at all. Before Chris said anything more polite, he said in advance, "I'm serious." This immediately made Chris become chatty, and he didn't know what to do, but Langley still didn't plan to let it go easily. He continued to tease aggressively and said, "it's not a good sign that he can't speak so easily."
"I'm trying! I'm, I'm trying. " Chris said eagerly, and then slowed down to react. The corners of lanli's mouth were smiling, but his seemingly serious words revealed a stream of ridicule, so... What's the matter?
Chris was so stunned that he didn't know what to say.
Blue Li turned his head and looked at Matthew, "am I really so vicious? You see, he's too scared to speak
Matthew shrugged. "You're not in perfect shape yet."
"Perfect form? What do you think I am? The fire breathing dragon? " Lan Li frowned slightly.
Matthew didn't worry at all. "No, Pikachu."
Blue Li rolled a big white eye, "I can't believe your taste. You've already started watching children's animation. "
This time, Matthew didn't retort again. Instead, he turned his mouth toward Chris. "He's going to explode. Are you sure it doesn't matter? Will Edith claim on you? "
"It doesn't matter, this one is very popular in Hollywood. There is no one left and there is another one left. Chris alone needs a lot of them, and Edith can choose them slowly. To be honest, I think Hemsworth should be quite suitable for Edith, with the same taste. "
"What's the smell?" Asked Matthew.
Lan Li pondered for a moment, "peach flavor."
Matthew thought seriously for a moment and shook his head seriously. "No, I don't think these two are of the same taste, or it would be better to have another Chris."
"No!" Chris finally found his voice and began to shout.
He is completely at a loss now. The speed and frequency of the conversation between lanli and Matthew are too fast. There is no intervening gap at all. He just becomes more and more anxious and uneasy, and the content of the conversation is too scary——
It's not only the content, but also the fact that they treat all Hollywood actors as objects in an understatement. The arrogance and coldness burst out from their bones really show the class gap, which is really chilling.
What is contempt and contempt?
It's not scolding and disdaining, it's not disdaining and discrimination, it's indifference, it's like scorning mole ants, it's never in the eye. For the nobility of the upper class, Hollywood actor is just an object, no more.
Not only Chris, but also Langley himself. From before to now, even at the dinner party not long ago, Langley still failed to completely break the fixed concept of the whole aristocratic class. It is a kind of Three Outlooks formed in one's heart, which really imprints class differences in one's soul and reveals every move.
However, with his own strength, Langley has won a place, and he is gradually defeating the prejudice that has lasted for centuries.
And Chris? He's not even a beginner.
What's more, lenley and Matthew are consciously firing today, which makes Chris even more vulnerable.
Then you can see Chris take a big breath, force himself to straighten up, try his best to show confidence and perseverance, "no, I think I'm the one for Edith."
"Why?" In the face of Chris' excitement and excitement, Langley is still calm, which is too calm and calm. The sharp contrast of emotional fluctuations makes Chris more and more embarrassed.
Matthew, sitting next to him, added, "don't say anything like 'I love her'. It's the cheapest commitment in the world."
Love is important. No one can deny it.
But in addition to love, there are other rules of operation in the world, such as interests, status, glory, inheritance and overall situation, which cannot be replaced or measured. When necessary, love is a chip for sacrifice, not a tool for creating the future. In the view of idealists, this idea is wrong; In the eyes of realists, idealists are stupid.
Nobility is just a kind of realist. Because they have the reality that suits them. The same is true of the Wall Street elite.
Matthew's words were right in their eyes. For the sake of family interests, the so-called love, the so-called marriage and kinship are all benefit chips.
The cold burst out of his soul made Chris shiver and his words stopped.
At this time, he was completely immersed in his own thoughts. He could only reluctantly notice that lanli and Matthew exchanged a line of sight, but he could not distinguish the real emotion in their eyes. Finally, he took a fidgety sip of the champagne in his hand, but it had no effect. He became more and more thirsty, "because... Because I love her."
After all, Chris said it and tried to explain it, but he found that all the words were pale and powerless, and he didn't know what to do. In the end, he could only say this sentence, "the cheapest".
Lan Li's smile rose slightly. "You should know that love is the most humble thing in front of interests and glory."
"But it's also the greatest thing." Chris finally found his own voice and replied strongly.
Matthew's face was still lukewarm. "It seems that he has found something different in Hollywood. For example, lines. " There are not too many ups and downs, but there is no cover up for the deep meaning of sarcasm.
Chris's cheek turned ruddy, choked on himself and began to cough violently.
But instead of continuing to embarrass Chris, Langley just said with a smile, "tonight's hero is me. Let's not blur the focus. I feel unhappy now. " A joke, as if all was just a joke, the atmosphere began to relax, but Chris's smile was still a little stiff, unable to hide perfectly like lenley and Matthew.
"DC has already made a move. What's the matter? Does Marvel have any special plan next? Recently, the news about you in the media is almost gone. " Lan Li changed the atmosphere with a simple speech.
Unable to resist sustain the blows of education, Chris has been unable to make complaints about the dialogue just now. No wonder Andre has been able to talk about it for a long time. Obviously, Andre knows Chris well enough, or the same kind of Hollywood boys like him.
Chris was still a little out of his mind and said absently, "I don't know. We should have no plans for the moment."
"Don't talk like you've been following Marvel news closely. Don't you never watch it?" A voice came from the side. It was Edith.
She couldn't bear it after all.
Blue Li and Matthew exchanged a line of vision, that make complaints about the weak expression of the Tucao is really obvious.
Edith caught the change of the details in an instant, glared round her eyes, looked at the two people with threatening eyes, and seemed to be threatening: no talking! No protest! Make complaints about Tucao!
Then you can see that both lanli and Matthew are quiet, their clever appearance is more and more ironic, which makes Edith more and more embarrassed.
A quick exchange of eyes, fleeting, Chris did not find it at all, quickly stood up, a look of care stood behind Edith, and said in a low voice, "how are you coming? Don't you mean to leave it to me? Don't worry about me. I'm fine. "
Edith shook her head slightly. "I thought you were over."
Then Edith saw Chris's blank expression, and she knew that lenley's cheerful smile and expression were actually suggesting that the test was over. She deliberately reassured her, and then she took the initiative to come over; But Chris didn't know about it, which made Edith's heart sink slightly. She realized that Chris didn't pass the test.
But on the surface, Edith was still, smiling again, "don't worry. Neither Langley nor Matthew is an outsider. "
Edith gave Chris a little reassurance with her eyes.
Then he looked at lanli and Matthew again, but heard lanli say happily, "you should know that we could hear all the whispers just now, right?"
Lanli did it on purpose! Damn blue!
