Chapter 2087

"You dare!"

George sternly scolded, but only in exchange for Lan Li's silent provocation, all the attacks were defeated, making him look like a embarrassed clown.

George was a little annoyed and had only one impulse in his mind: to wave and slap. He really wanted to slap Lan Li in the face. All the etiquette, all the reason and all the masks were on fire. His only idea was to break the smile under that face.

But the calm and tenacity in those eyes was so cold that George became small. His hands clenched into fists, but he didn't have the courage to lift them up.

"I should have strangled you in my infancy." George heard his voice ringing cold and piercing in his ear.

The smile on the corner of lanli's mouth rose slightly, which seemed no surprise: I guess so, but unfortunately, you missed the chance. He can go back in such a direct provocation, and then witness the scene of George's direct explosion, but... He didn't, because there was no fun in such a small fight. He didn't want to continue to entangle with them. Everything was meaningless, wasn't it? They are passers-by from now on.

"So, is there anything else?"

This is Langley's last reaction. He lightly ignored George's words, and politely and distantly drew a gap between them.

Elizabeth is aware of Langley's supremacy. She only feels that her throat is itchy: family card, female card, mother card and so on. All kinds of mixed ideas are surging in her mind. She can still fight back and make full use of her advantages. But she always feels that her ideas can't escape Langley's eyes, No matter what they say, they just make themselves more embarrassed in the end.

It's like... It's like lanli deliberately left a blank space for them to speak, let them use their means, let them struggle, but no matter what they say, the outcome will not change. Lanli was waiting for their counterattack, and the calm made her feel palpitating.

If she is not a nobleman, maybe she can beat around here and force Lan Li to submit in a rogue way - the best way to deal with noblemen is to be unreasonable, the more primitive, the more rude, the more barbaric, the more effective; But this idea surged in Elizabeth's mind for a moment, and finally went out, she fell into a deep fear, unable to extricate herself.

Fear of Langley.

It seemed that she had never known her little son, so strange and so distant, so cold and so determined, that the fear in her heart began to surge.

Elizabeth did not speak, George did not know what to say, under the blue Li's gaze, they were not able to speak, so let time go slowly.

Lanli seemed to have expected such a situation. He waited for a moment, then politely lowered his head, and then turned straight away.

What should I do?

What should they do?

When Langley left, the whole audience's sight was like a tide of water. However, George and Elizabeth knew that their every move was under "surveillance". Any little disturbance would determine the direction of the follow-up. Now they must think twice and not act rashly.

Elizabeth had expected such an outcome in her heart - she just didn't expect the way in which Langley would deal with it, but no matter what, it was done, and she had to plan for the future now. She won't give up, but she won't fight head-on. After all, the blue gift is abundant now.

Elizabeth straightened her waist slightly. Instead of pretending to be weak or aggrieved, she showed a stronger appearance. Then she stepped out of the cloakroom area and left George behind. She nodded to the guests with a smile, and occasionally stopped to say a few simple greetings. So she left the Carrick Club unhurriedly.

Calm, calm, strong, wise, gentle, elegant.

Elizabeth's performance is a bit unexpected. She does not show her grievances clumsily, but shows all the excellent qualities of a woman. She is not embarrassed at all. On the contrary, she makes people look sideways. The faint light has aroused more empathy.

Through Elizabeth's performance, it is not difficult for people to make up a story:

Elizabeth decided to come to the Merrick club with a low profile to reconcile with lenley. Despite the numerous grudges in the past, she finally decided to put down her prejudice and stubbornness. Even without an invitation, she had the cheek to come forward and stretch out an olive branch. As a result, she failed because of George's spleen and lenley's stubbornness, In the end, Elizabeth had to defend the reputation of the hall family alone.

Look, what a great woman. Instead of accusing Langley of being cold-blooded or impetuous, she shouldered all the heavy responsibilities with her own shoulders. Even if she was alone, she could be strong and break through a world full of swords and spears!

Real smart people all know that things are certainly not so simple. How can the disputes within the hall family be explained so easily?

But the real smart people also know that Elizabeth's performance is not so clever. She drew a clear line with Langley and George, finished the stop loss quickly, and then established the female image of "struggle alone". At the same time, she can effectively use Langley's aura to establish her own independent image, In the future, we can go out alone and start a new life on the ruins.

What does that mean?

In short, like Langley, Elizabeth "broke away" from the hall family, just like the gecko broke its tail, and put all the responsibilities and faults on George. She also became a victim - but instead of "pretending" to be the victim, she firmly rebuilt her life.

This kind of "female image" is very common and highly respected in Contemporary Western society. In the future, as long as Elizabeth doesn't provoke Langley any more, she believes that Langley will not kill her; Dignified and imposing, Elizabeth can also make use of the name of "Holzer -" and the residual heat of the ritual aura. If the location is accurate, her gallery can create a whole new world -- and even completely shake off the shadow that is attached to the ring of the blue rites, and turn over the past few years' frustration and dreary, and have a noble and honest career.

Is that familiar?

Edith is like this, Arthur is like this, ALF is like this... Now, Elizabeth is like this, although the means are a little ugly and mean, at least, they are on their own way - just like Langley, the hall family is still completely broken.

At the end of the twists and turns, Elizabeth is the smart one. She wants to go further than George, and successfully gets rid of herself.

George can't keep up with Elizabeth's speed. He is staring at Elizabeth's back when she leaves. When he reflects Elizabeth's abacus, he has fallen into a dilemma. What should he do? What else can he do? He had nowhere to run.

He had no choice

As a gentleman, a gentleman educated by hereditary nobles, he can never reveal his vulnerability. He can't be weak, flinch, afraid or lose his manners on any occasion. He can't shed tears or surrender. He has to bear all the pressure alone, because what he carries is the family reputation and man's dignity, Not even shouting for help.

As a result, George straightened up, even in the face of countless hot and sharp eyes, he still showed his perfect gentlemanly manner, and left the Carrick club. He was swept out, but pretended that he chose to leave, just like the winner.

The expected meeting, however, did not break out the expected spark, and even ended disappointingly.

At this time, George and Elizabeth really face up to a fact:

Lanli is far from the object they can compete with, let alone easily manipulated. As long as Langley wants, he can easily isolate them from the social circle, or even kill them. Any provocative action of them may become a catalyst for their own embarrassment.

They can face it, but they can't accept it. Maybe they can't accept it all their lives, and they are not allowed to accept the pride of their parents and the dignity of their nobles; But... What should they do? Or, what else can they do? Some things can never be reversed after all.

……

George and Elizabeth's response, Langley did not pay attention, until later overheard the rumors, but he did not make an evaluation, just laugh it off; At this time, it was even more so. Lanli and Matthew went straight to the direction of the exhibition room, without stopping or turning back.

In those critical eyes of inquiry, survey and examination, Lan Li never flinched and calmly met all eyes.

For outsiders, they may never understand lanli's practice of exterminating their parents. It's against morality. They simply see a result

Langley forced George and Elizabeth to the corner, and then used his own momentum to confine them; However, they refused to examine how the results were led, and they also refused to understand the complexity behind the results, because it was too complicated and heavy. They just needed to "criticize" Lan Li, and then classify Lan Li into cold-blooded animals, which was much easier.

Lanli knows the thoughts behind these eyes, but he doesn't care, he doesn't want to, and doesn't need to explain. This is his life, no one can tell him what to do, no one!

They're all on one side, and he's on the other side - at least, he's trying to find the other side, trying to escape from that side.

So, he won't care.
