Chapter 2021

Lanli's short sentence has a huge amount of information. Even Edith and Arthur need time to digest it.

Among them, there is a small detail difference in lanli's words: forgetting, when lanli called George and Elizabeth, he still used "father, mother"; However, in the dialogue just now, he called his name directly, without deliberately emphasizing it, but he could still push it out from the side. Today, the real reason for lanli's low mood is that he was in a bad mood.

Sometimes, we all think that we don't care, but when we really face it, it's hard to avoid caring, because we are all mortals of flesh and blood. Those rooted in the blood and soul, after all, can't completely ignore. Not sad, not painful, just depressed. The only difference lies in how life should continue after problems emerge. Different choices made by different people will also determine different lives.

But Arthur and Edith rarely pay attention to these small details, because Langley just revealed a blockbuster bomb, which is absolutely enough to change the war situation!

The British royal family decided to confer a medal on Langley hall, which is absolutely a rare special sight: because Langley is not a civilian, but a hereditary aristocrat, so what medal should the royal family confer on Langley——

According to the regulations, the medal that blue Li can be awarded is definitely more than the order of commander; However, the problem is that Lan Li was awarded the medal for his contribution in the field of art, not for his achievements and military exploits. Then, the medal he can be awarded has certain limitations.

What's more, the award itself is of special significance!

This also really means that after leaving the hall family, Langley broke out of the world on his own ability, and was recognized by the royal family——

George and Elizabeth spent their whole lives defending the dignity and dignity of the nobility, and tried their best to continue the honor of the "Hall" surname. But what they failed to do is now accomplished by Langley. Isn't it the most ironic thing that they disdain the most?

No wonder!

If it's an invitation for awards, then all the problems will be solved, because ALF's decision broke the deadlock, because of the opportunities brought by Sisyphus pictures and hall venture capital, and more importantly, because of the Royal awards.

Perhaps, George and Elizabeth want to attend the blue ceremony; Perhaps, George and Elizabeth want to take the opportunity to repair the relationship and return to the upper class; Perhaps, George and Elizabeth want to use the fame and reputation of Langley to open up a situation for their career; Maybe George and Elizabeth are worried that Langley, also known as "Jazz", will be equal to them in the future

There are so many possibilities, but none of them can be pleasant, because every potential possibility points to the same result.

Arthur lowered his eyes and refused to speak. He couldn't even find an accurate word to describe his feelings. Deep inside, there was a deep loneliness and desolation. In his mind, he couldn't help recalling how ironic and pathetic "God is with us" he just played.

Edith held her fist tightly and patiently, but after all, she couldn't hold it back and uttered a rude sentence, "grass". She knew it was very untimely and it was not a lady at all, but she didn't care. She really didn't care. "They were crazy."

This was the only thought in Edith's mind, and she suddenly stood up, "they're crazy! Don't they know what they're doing? How can they... God, how can they... Ah! I really really want to... Er ah! I thought they could at least hold on to the bottom line, just like ALF, but now it seems that their shamelessness is even beyond imagination... "

"Edith." Lanli's voice rang, and before Edith's words became more outrageous and vulgar, he issued a reminder.

But Edith didn't care, "lenley? Are you going to defend them? When did you become so kind? Rage, vent, fight back, let them know that you are not so easy to provoke, let them know the end of offending you, you have a hundred thousand ways to make them miserable, or even disgraced, they are not worthy of your sympathy, not worthy of your forgiveness! "

"Edith!" Arthur also stopped Edith.

Edith turned her head and gave Arthur a fierce look. She growled like a beast. "Why, are you defending them? Or do you want to say that they also have difficulties? If you want to defend them, you should get out of here! They are the animals! They are eating the meat and drinking the blood of lanli, and then they want lanli to repay them with gratitude? What's the point? "

"Arthur, they are all rotten. They are rotten like rubbish. ALF said that they are not for the honor of the hall family, but for their dignity and interests! They stick to Lan Li like leeches, but they forget the damage they have done to Lan Li! Did you see it? Arthur, do you see it now? The wounds on Lan Li's body are all caused by them. They are the most cruel people. They don't even have any sympathy! I hate them, yes, I said it, I hate them! "

Edith let out her anger unreservedly, not only for Lan Li, but also for herself.

The shackles attached to them by "hereditary nobles" were really too heavy. She once thought that she could not get rid of them all her life; Now, because of Lan Li, she finally found her freedom, but they were still reluctant to let go and pestered like maggots.

That kind of anger, suppressed for too long, now all burst out.

"Edith," Lan Li's voice did not have too many waves, still with the warmth of the spring breeze, even in his eyes to find a shallow smile.

At this time, Edith, like a hairy hedgehog, roared, "what?"

Sitting next to him, Arthur was in a cold sweat. Edith was so brave that he dared to yell at lanli. He thought that he should run for his life first to avoid being killed?

The smile on the corner of blue Li's mouth still rose slightly, and said quietly and firmly, "I'm not the victim."

One sentence shows his position.

"I mean, we're all victims, but I don't think of myself as a victim. Because I will fight back, because I will stick to myself, because I won't be held back by them. The real victims are always the weak, trapped in their own fear and fear, unable to move forward to tomorrow; But obviously, I'm not the weak anymore, they are. "

Quiet words have a great power.

Indeed, after receiving Elizabeth's blank postcard, Langley still felt disappointed and lost; As for anger and grievance, there is not much. Even if there may be a little hidden in the heart, it will disappear completely because of the appearance of Arthur and Edith, and it will be replaced by happiness. As he said, he will not regard himself as a victim and hide in the corner to blame himself. He will fight back.

Gradually, Edith also recovered in lanli's words. Her chest was still fluctuating violently, staring at lanli, and then she realized her gaffe. Her cheeks turned red slightly, and her movements and posture were a little embarrassed. But she still rounded her eyes and rubbed her short hair impatiently. She didn't look like a lady at all. "Why, Are you suggesting that I'm a coward and I'm the victim? "

With that, Edith waved her fist to blue Li fiercely, "don't think you are sick, I dare not teach you." After expressing her position, Edith stopped when she was ready, or she would reveal the details. "What you said, you have to fight back and keep your word. What are you going to do?"

Langley didn't expose Edith, just said with a smile, "I'm going to do nothing."

Edith's violent temper sprang up again - Langley always knew how to irritate her.

But this time, Edith did not have time to speak, and Arthur was the first to ask, "are you not going to accept the medal?" This is the real meaning of Lan Li's words.

Lan Li nodded in affirmation.

Edith opened her mouth in surprise. "Are you sure?"

If Langley refuses to accept the award, then George and Elizabeth's face may be directly broken. After careful calculation, they decide to take the initiative to send blank postcards to break the deadlock; As a result, Langley put them together and cut off all possibilities directly from the root, which is bound to put George and Elizabeth into a deadlock——

Of course, it's just a blank postcard. George and Elizabeth don't make a direct statement, but they can still advance, attack and retreat; But the balance between them is still broken. Even if other people don't know, the internal situation of Hall's family will inevitably enter a new stage. The most important thing is that lenley slapped them in the face again. This way of counterattack is really... It's really amazing.

If George and Elizabeth have been too excited to take the lead in making some changes in London, then the consequences will be even more humiliating.

Arthur tried to open his mouth and say something: there was no need for Langley to refuse such a good opportunity for George and Elizabeth. It was not worth the loss; But seriously, Arthur thinks that Langley should not be such an impulsive personality. Even in the face of George and Elizabeth, Langley will not lose his mind. Does that mean that Langley has a plan?

"I never wanted to accept something like that. I don't know what it means. Anyway, it is not my goal in life. Otherwise, I should choose to stay in Cambridge at that time. Now I can have a completely different life. " Lanli's voice is still with his unique calm, but there is a strong and tenacious force hidden in it.
