The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone)
Chapter 1173: Blind date meeting
"Matthew Charles Dunlop!" Edith exclaimed in full fire, her tight voice and tight face clearly showed the fact that she was on the verge of losing control.
But Matthew didn't care. He put a glass of whiskey in his hand on the coffee table in front of Renly, and then, holding a glass of whiskey by himself, turned and sat on the opposite side. The unhurried movement clearly showed that With a nonchalant attitude, he then added, "What I stated is the fact. You should know this yourself."
Matthew's introverted but clear eyes raised slightly, "Otherwise, when you chose to make an official debut at the premiere of the Lanly movie, you wouldn't have put on the look of death. Because you know, he The existence of is a problem in itself, and this problem will cause an uproar in London."
Sharp, accurate, sharp, straightforward, ruthless.
Matthew’s spit and taunt left no room for maneuvering, and he severely uncovered Edith’s wound, leaving no affection at all. This made Edith’s eyes widened angrily and stared at the horse. Xiu, "Man, you should stay away from Lan Li, you have been taken away by him now."
"Hey, I didn't say a word." Lan Li began to protest.
When this sentence was said, Renly was Renly, and the traces of Levine seemed to have disappeared quietly. After all, the two characters around tonight are really too familiar and too familiar. All the modes of getting along are too comfortable, and they are back on the track of habit without knowing it.
Edith rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at Lanly, and put on a questioning interrogation appearance, "What about you? Do you think so too?" She thinks Chris Evans is all over. It's a problem. I think that Hollywood origin is the problem.
Lan Li pursed the corner of his mouth, "Prince Harry is still chic now."
Prince Harry is undoubtedly an alternative among the aristocracy. He spends his whole day drinking and mixing in the circle of models and actors. On average, he will be listed on the six-page headline every three days and five days, and become the focus of discussion after dinner.
"And Andre Hamilton." Matthew added.
Lan Li nodded in affirmation, "And Andre."
Edith almost didn't change it in one breath, "You actually compare me with Harry?" Edith looked around, but didn't find a weapon to take advantage of, so she raised her leg and kicked it hard at Lanly's calf. Suddenly, unexpectedly, this time Lan Li didn't evade, so he hit the kick firmly.
Edith was a little surprised, but she still grumbled with her neck, "Damn, won't you dodge? God, your muscles are too hard, I will hurt!"
Lan Li did not refute, but nodded obediently, "Sorry."
It's rare to see that Lan Li is so well-behaved, without complaints or sarcasm. Edith was helpless and gave Lan Li a fierce look, "I don't need your sympathy. You know, I hate sympathy and mercy the most." She knew that Lan Li must be sympathetic, so she was so kind!
Lan Li was full of innocence, "Are you sure you don't have any special hobbies for abuse?" But the words came out, and then he regretted it, "Forget it, you don't need to tell me." Then Lan Li caught the horse. With Xiu's eyes, he shrugged, "I know, I know, I already regret it."
He was not at all curious about Edith's boudoir secrets, and he didn't want to know at all.
Edith, who was sitting next to her, also grinned back and let out a long breath. After all the negative emotions were vented, the whole person relaxed, and gently shook the whiskey glass in his hand, the amber light and shadow continued to flow, "I really like him."
He is Chris Evans.
Among the upper class and the aristocracy, prejudice and discrimination on gender still exist objectively. If today's situation is not Edith, but Renly or Arthur, the situation will be completely different.
Rarely, Edith's eyebrows added a touch of loneliness, carefully showing a trace of fragility.
"Then fight to the end." Lan Li said with a smile.
Edith came back to her senses and raised her eyebrows slightly. This small gesture can vaguely capture Lan Li's shadow. The charm between her eyebrows is still somewhat similar, proving the identity of their sister and brother, "Don’t you? Persuade me to give up? Is this the right choice?"
"Do you want to be Elf?" This was Lan Li's answer.
Uncontrollably, Edith looked at Lan Li's eyes seriously, and Lan Li also met her sight generously.
There is a touch of perseverance and affirmation hidden in those calm eyes. It seems that all the thorny problems are no longer a problem, and they are bold and decisive to get rid of the entanglement and restraint, and then let go and chase the true self. The look in his eyes was too familiar, and it was completely Lan Li's style.
Edith laughed blankly.
She knew that no matter what choice she made, Lan Li would stand firmly behind her, not because he was a member of the Hall family, nor because she had supported his choice, but because he believed her. Judgment and decision, but also because he believes in her truth and self.
There was a faint warmth in the heart, the expression between the eyebrows was relaxed, but the words did not express it. Just one look is enough, "You shouldn't say that to Elf."
"I think she won't mind." Lan Li didn't care.
Human beings are emotional animals. Between reason and emotion, they often choose the latter. Even if they know that they should believe the former, it is still difficult to get rid of the latter. However, in order to maintain their etiquette and decency, as well as dignity and pride, the nobles often insist on the former, even if their cold reason deeply hurt their emotions.
If Elf is facing such a problem today, she should cut the mess quickly and end this relationship.
Everyone has his own choice, and everyone will bear his own choice to go on. Right or wrong.
Inexplicably, a figure flashed in Lan Li's mind, Rooney Mara. He was a little curious, if it was Rooney, how would she choose?
"So, what did they do?" Withdrawing his thoughts, Lan Li continued to ask questions along the topic, "Don't tell me, did they arrange a private party for you?" Then Lan Li saw Edith with a helpless face. Rolling his eyes, he shook his head with a chuckle, revealing a look of surprise, "Jesus Christ, they are really too old-fashioned, can't they be a little new?"
Private party. Literally translated, it is a blind date meeting.
Hold a party in the back garden under a certain name. For example, there is a newly created poem that needs to be shared. Another example is that a young lady is going to play a piano song. This is the reason for the party, and then invites the right age Come over, talk to each other, get to know each other, and get to know each other.
If it were a century ago, this way of communication is undoubtedly appropriate and reasonable; but now it is the 21st century, there are such old-fashioned and stubborn, retro and decadent social methods, it is simply helpless.
"They sent an invitation letter saying that after I cooperate with the United Nations, there are a series of photos that I need to share in the exhibition and invite everyone to come and enjoy it." Edith said with a humorous gesture, "God, those photos are not for Would you like to give the ladies of the noble family a spare time to talk after dinner?"
"Maybe they are willing to pay to donate to the Red Cross or other rescue organizations." Lan Li persuaded comfortingly, but the twinkling smiles in his eyes obviously didn't think so.
"Ha! Ha! Very funny." Edith rolled her eyes again. Today she doesn't remember how many times she rolled her eyes, but she doesn't care. Here, she can be herself freely, instead of being suffocated by a bunch of ethics.
Matthew, who was sitting on the other side, said calmly, "I am even more curious about who was invited? Who is there?"
Edith was covered with black lines, "Matthew, why don't I know, you are so gossip?"
"That's because you and him are not friends." Lan Li lightly gave his friend a knife in the back, "Wait, Andre, Eaton, did they not attend?"
"..." Edith was speechless.
Lan Li and Matthew exchanged glances, and a strange and excited light glided across their eyes, and things suddenly became interesting.
"Hey, you two, please don't exchange eyes with gossip expressions, okay? I am the one who is suffering, okay?" Edith protested strongly.
Lan Li spread out his free left hand to express his apologies, but his expression still showed a hint of curiosity, "Since you have completely revealed it at the premiere, then at the party, why don't you put on smoky makeup, Put on your jeans and rock it well? If you are worried about Denise, I think you should have a way to keep Denise from going to the party."
Edith only felt heartbroken for a while, "Did you peek at my script? This thing is not quite right. You and I should not be familiar with it. How do you know that I did this?" After that~ lightnovelpub.net~ Edith took a deep breath, "Wait, I think my IQ is a bit offline now, and I always fall behind in conversations. I should... Matthew, you can give me another glass of whiskey. ?"
Matthew did not speak, but gave the answer in action.
"On the day of the party, I wore ripped jeans, stared at a pair of big red high heels, and paired it with a gorgeous ballet skirt. I also specially ordered a multi-layer lace lining, but all torn, and finally painted A big smoky makeup appeared on the stage.” After proudly speaking, Edith finally showed a triumphant smile on her face, “You should really look at Elizabeth’s expression at the time, haha.”
Lan Li can make up for it.
"Edith, what if someone really likes your appearance?" Lan Li asked curiously, "You know, those nobles always have unknown preferences, and Arthur is like that, his small apartment There are countless secrets hidden in it."
Edith waved her hand nonchalantly, and said plainly, "But I don't like them."
"What about Chris?" This sentence is from Matthew, "Will Chris like you who is the most authentic?"
