Chapter 2253

Looking at the panicked and earth colored Chris, lanli's smile creeps up the corner of his mouth. It's really rare to see the scene that the famous "Captain America" is scared out of his wits; But the smile just stopped for a moment, and then lenley turned his eyes and said frankly, "Chris, I don't like you. It's my responsibility."

what do you mean?

Chris feels that his brain can't keep up with the speed of Langley. What's called... "It's my duty not to like you?" Is that not logical at all? Does lenley know what he's talking about? Or is it an excerpt from a Nicholas Sparks novel?

Chris looked at him with question marks all over his head. He could understand every word, but he couldn't understand them all. He began to wonder if he had drunk too much champagne, or if he had drunk too much. So, should he ask? If so, what should he ask?

Looking at unsuspectingly Chris, blue Li has some frustration, but make complaints about it.

From a distance, lanli could see Matthew's gaze. With a trace of sympathy in his eyes, he seemed to fully understand lanli's situation. This made lanli laugh. He decided to speak again and explain something to Chris.

In fact, many things, many circumstances, Chris also know clearly, he is not a fool. But the question is, how can a fool who is in love see clearly? In addition, in such a special situation of the hall family, common sense simply does not apply, and Chris has lost his thinking ability.

"Chris, what would you do if someone hurt your brother?" Lan Li asked——

Chris's younger brother Scott Evans has officially come out. He will face the prejudice and pressure of the whole society. Unlike Edith and Chris, he also has many similarities. Potential damage is everywhere, just like mines, all over the corner.

Chris didn't hesitate for a second. He didn't seem to need to think at all. He blurted out, "I support all his decisions! I will protect him at all costs! "

After that, Chris was a little stunned. He didn't seem to understand why Langley asked such a question, but it was only a moment before he realized, "Oh... Oh!"

All the confusion and confusion, just like opening up Ren Du's two veins, instantly became a matter of course. All the experiences of the past come to mind.

When Chris looked at Lan Li again, he couldn't clear up the confusion in his eyes for a while. He had to obey his instinct and said, "Lan Li, please don't worry..."

Chris is ready to show his heart to lenley, but lenley is the first step to interrupt Chris's words, "save a little saliva, action is always more effective than words."

With that, Lan Li turned to look at Chris, a look, just one look is enough, let Chris understand the meaning of Lan Li; Then, lanli turned around and walked in Matthew's direction, leaving Chris standing in the same place. He was so thoughtful that he couldn't help thinking.

No contrast, no harm.

Rooney, who made her debut at the hall's, is as easy as a fish to swim, leisurely and skillful. She is not at all unsophisticated. She is generous and confident. She easily becomes the center of social occasions. Even Edith and Arthur can't be too picky; But Chris was still in a daze, as if he were the first person to attend such a party——

But it's no problem to say that, because this is the first time that Langley held a formal banquet. The atmosphere and environment are of high standard, high treatment and high level, which is not comparable to Hollywood. Chris's tension is completely understandable.

To be sure, Chris still has a long and arduous way to adapt to the hall family, and Langley doesn't know if Edith has plans to take Chris to meet George and Elizabeth.

Because Langley can't be sure where George and Elizabeth are in Edith's mind - just like Arthur, in fact, Arthur still keeps in touch with his parents, and the relationship between each child and his parents is different. Langley is Langley, and Arthur and Edith are independent individuals, and they won't interfere with each other; But if Edith is going to let Chris meet his parents, Chris needs to exercise.

The dinner started at 9:30.

All of them took their seats at the president's table of the formal banquet. Under the leadership of Philip, the waiters came into the dining room with silver plates. They all stood behind the guests. Then they put the plates in front of the guests and opened the lid together.

The well-trained service attitude shows the unique treatment of the real nobility, so that people can't help being slightly restrained, subconsciously show their best etiquette, and try to fully fit with the scene atmosphere. It's really an extraordinary experience.

MeDo said bluntly, "I feel real now." Hereditary aristocracy, from invisible to tangible, the profound details of lanli hall are only now revealed in a corner.

From the rules to the etiquette to the menu, Philip really dedicated a noble dinner; But compared with the real noble dinner, Langley is a little relaxed. After all, this is not beswater, but prince's garden. They can continue some things, but they should also change some things.

This also makes the whole dinner much more warm.

"Ding Ding Ding."

Someone knocked the glass, and the clear sound attracted everyone's attention. This is the only way on the banquet president's table not to make noise, but still to focus. Obviously, someone should be ready to make a speech at this moment, but the focus is not the host Lan Li, but

Edith hall.

Edith stood up a little primly, lifted her champagne glass, and bathed in the sight of the crowd, which made her a little uneasy, but she said, "Hey! Hello, everyone Edith stares at Lan Li fiercely, only to see Lan Li's schadenfreude smile, which makes Edith's teeth itch with hatred. But this time is obviously not the best time to turn the table, so she can only force herself to take back her sight.

"We all know that Langley is an impeccable and perfect speaker, and no one can take away his lightning. But this Romeo didn't seem to want to be in the limelight tonight, so he entrusted this important task to me. Because I lost the bet, Arthur and Langley watched me stand up, just like a puppet, but clumsily didn't know what to say. The lesson is, don't gamble with your brother. "

ha-ha!

Everyone burst into laughter, and lanli and Arthur even gave a round of applause; However, Rooney raised her champagne glass and motioned to Edith, cheering for Edith, which calmed Edith's mood and reorganized her confused thoughts.

"Christmas never meant anything to me. First, I don't go to church; Second, I can't remember the time of Christmas when both my father and mother showed up. Only lenley and occasionally Arthur. Believe me, you don't want such a Christmas

Edith's thoughts were a little confused, but she gradually concentrated, and her words from her heart flowed out unconsciously.

She thought it was going to be very difficult - and it was, but the scene she imagined would be more severe, and now it's not that terrible.

"Ever since I found out that my Christmas presents didn't come from Santa Claus, but from Philip and Denise, the last meaning of Christmas seems to have been shattered. I've never had a chance to really understand the meaning of Christmas. Believe me, when your father goes to the club to smoke cigars on Christmas Eve and your mother drinks alone in the room, Christmas is not as beautiful as you think. I always wonder: why would someone celebrate the rebirth of a stranger? The premise is, if the legend is real. "

"Until tonight."

"When I was once again in the white Christmas, when I saw Philip again, when I was once again holding a glass of champagne and complaining that my custom dress didn't seem to fit well... I finally understood, I should say, I finally found the meaning of Christmas for the first time in my life. What was not found in baswater is now in the prince's garden

Edith's voice was slightly nasal, but she raised her glass of champagne and plucked up the courage to go on.

"Look at what you have around you, then close your eyes and imagine what else you have. Anyway, when you open your eyes, we can't see what is really worth having. Now, whatever comes to your mind, no matter how you find it, no matter how long it lasts... The best, brightest and warmest ones will eventually go out. This is the law of nature. You can't control it, but at least you have them now. That makes sense. "

LUNI stretched out her left hand and held lanli's right hand under the table. She could feel that lanli's fingertips were slightly cold. She wrapped lanli's palm with her palm and held it tightly, so that her warmth could be passed on little by little.

"This is our miracle. Every year's Christmas, its existence reminds us all the time, don't forget what we have, because only by remembering this, can we open our hands and feet to pursue greater dreams. Miracles happen every day. "

Edith held up her champagne glass and looked at her brother. "Arthur, lenley, thank you for being with me this Christmas. Let's pay tribute to the miracle. "

Lenley folded his right hand, held the warmth tightly, refused to let go, then raised the champagne glass with his left hand, and gave a big smile to Edith, "Hail Edith hall."
