1206 Maximum Punishment

Among the four children in the Hall family, Arthur has the best appearance.

The face with clear lines, handsome and elegant facial features, slender and sturdy body shape, and a sensual and charm between the eyebrows fully demonstrate the elegant charm of a gentleman, perfectly combining the elegance of aristocratic and the unruly of a man. There is a thrilling feeling between the flowing eyes.

Edith once teased Arthur, even God couldn't help but be jealous.

Lan Li deeply agrees with this. Anyone who stands beside Arthur's side will dim the light.

Tonight, a navy suit paired with a white bow tie. After crossing her legs, the dark red plaid socks on her ankles were faintly exposed, lit up the whole suit in a restrained and low-key manner, and a temperament that made people look up from the inside out was bursting out; sitting on the sofa in the party hall, exuding a cold air of no one to enter. The gaze was scurried by, but he did not dare to get close.

At this moment, Lan Li and Arthur, two of them were sitting at both ends of the couch, with their powerful aura surging inwardly. Without any action or words, the eyes of the party scene were involuntarily projected over:

They are very different, each with its own merits, but they are equally charming.

Almost everyone was guessing: Who was the man sitting on the other side of Lanli? Why was he able to attend tonight's Oscar night? Why was he on par with Lanli? Or did Lanli even come forward to say hello? What are they talking about now? If you come forward to say hello a rashly, isn't it too abrupt?

The scorching gaze that swarmed from all directions, even though they tried to hide it, was still exposed, and was so straightforward and simple.

Getting used to the profound and difficult guessing of the London upper class, Arthur suddenly felt that they were so stupid that they were cute, "Sure enough, the Yankees always knew how to entertain the public."

Yankees, for modern people, all their significance is closely related to the New York Yankees; but for the British, especially the upper class, the Yankees have historical significance.

The history of Yankees can be traced back to immigrants who have immigrated from the seventeenth century, from Britain to the North American continent and settled in New England, which is the Northeast region with Massachusetts as the core, and they were made Yankees.

At that time, for the United States, the Yankees were representatives of high education, high income and high class, which also made New England a far ahead in North America's educational environment; but for the United Kingdom, the Yankees were speculators. Only when they could not survive in the UK or were blinded by commercial interests would they choose to leave the UK and explore a wilderness.

As time went on, before the American Revolutionary War, people called the New Englanders serving in the American colonial army Yankees; during the War of Independence, the Americans defeated the British for the first time in the Battle of Concord and began to proudly call themselves Yankees; during the Civil War, the Americans were collectively called Yankees by the northerners who came to the south, a strand of Yankees; in the late World War I, the United States sent troops to Europe to participate in the war, and the Europeans collectively called all Americans, meaning Americans.

In contemporary times, in overseas regions, Yankees used to describe Americans with a strong derogatory meaning; in North America, Yankees used to describe Americans in New England, satirizing the noble and pretentious elite class, with a strong mockery.

For the British aristocracy, the Yankees were still the pseudo-noble aristocracy who left their hometowns in the 17th century who wandered around the barbarians but still pretended to be noble.

Why can aristocrats always identify important factors that define class, such as identity, background, education, culture, family background, wealth, current status, etc. at a glance?

Language is an important component. From titles to words, from pronoun to humor, from history to culture, every detail can identify a person's background. At the same time, this is also the heritage inherited by the hereditary aristocrats, and that reserve and pride are also the soul they have always worked hard to maintain.

In fact, the generation of Renly and Arthur has gradually become in line with the times and society, and those constraints are quietly disappearing. Elve is the only exception. She still strictly inherits the glory and tradition of the family; but the conversation between Renly and Arthur can still taste the fine differences.

Lan Li laughed silently, "So you came here this time just to become an entertainment material?"

On the surface, Renly was complaining about Arthur's actions at the Oscar Night; the subtext was asking Arthur why he came to Los Angeles.

However, Arthur did not answer positively, but instead shook the whiskey in his hand gently, as if he was admiring the light and shadow flowing in the amber luster.

"How long has it been since you contacted George or Elizabeth?" Arthur changed the subject himself, and then Lanley's understatement came in his ears, "I don't know, I don't even remember the last time I contacted them."

This answer made Arthur turn his head, and Man Wan looked at Renly with a smile, "You know, they are simply not more satisfied with you now."

Then, Arthur turned his head again, his eyes fell on the whiskey, and said softly:

"The youngest son of the Hall family, the person he wants to invite every party. He made a career in Hollywood, occupied a place in the West Side and Broadway. More importantly, he always insisted on himself on the road to artistic pursuit, was talented, restrained and low-key, and carried forward the performing arts. He had the potential to become a master at a young age."

The curve of the corner of his mouth rose, revealing a hint of mockery and ridicule, "Who doesn't want to meet the hot Renli? Everyone thinks that even Prince Harry is inquiring about Renli's news. Rumors say that the Queen is very curious about this twenty-three-year-old. Although she doesn't like movies, she is still interested in the Almeida Theater version of 'Les Miserables'."

"Ha." Lan Li couldn't help but chuckled.

The rumors about the queen are obviously false. The old queen has no interest in movies and dramas, and even less interested in young actors. What she really likes is the classic works that have been in full swing.

Arthur chuckled, closed his jaw and cast a look, as if saying: How ridiculous these rumors are, it proves how popular you are in the upper class now. Then he explained, "But the problem is that Renly never appears. This maverick actor always devotes himself to the performance work, and even Princess Beatrice's party has never appeared."

Lan Li shrugged gently to express her innocence.

Arthur chuckled again. He liked Renly's response, "So, George and Elizabeth became the most suitable invitations. Obviously, they always expressed their support and approval for Renly's acting career, and they recognized Renly's talent and talent early on, believing that he could break out of the sky with his own strength; but out of reserve, they never interrupted Renly's efforts and struggle."

When he said this, Arthur's eyes always fell on Renly.

In the past few months, George and Elizabeth have been booming. Both of them have ushered in important breakthroughs in their careers and work, entered a stage of prosperity, and became the most popular figures in the entire upper class, with a glory. The most important key is that Lan Li never appeared, leaving only a halo where they can ask for it.

Arthur was a little curious about Renley's reaction.

In fact, Arthur knew clearly that on the surface, George and Elizabeth are now living in the spotlight, with a smug look on the wind; but deep down, George and Elizabeth are suffering, gnawing their hearts and bones. Every party, every socialization, and every success reminds them that their current scenery and dazzlingness come from Renli.

This is not only anger, but also a humiliation. It is ridiculous and sad.

What they once opposed, ridiculed, despised, disdained, and disdained, have now become the most important part of their lives. What's more sad is that they are powerless to resist and do not want to resist.

Arthur really couldn't understand this. As a bystander and half of the participants, this was really interesting; but what about Lanli? Lanli is the real party involved. What exactly did he think and how would he choose to deal with it?

Unfortunately, Arthur did not notice any fluctuations in Renly, as if he was listening to other people's stories, which made Arthur shook his head gently, "Do you know? Sometimes I think you are even more terrifying than Elf." In that young skin, an old soul lived, as if he could see through everything.

Lanli chuckled, "So, what are you looking forward to my reaction? I'm going to rush back to London now and participate in this drama in person?" Just a little bit of a thought, Lanli laughed happily and nodded repeatedly, "I admit that this is a /tempting/personal idea, and that will inevitably be very interesting."

George and Elizabeth’s biggest wish now is: Renley will not return to London.

Then, they can continue to hide their ears, continue to enjoy the treatment of being surrounded by others, continue to pretend that their success comes from their own hard work and efforts, and continue to whitewash their peace and maintain their glamorous life.

"But..." Lan Li shrugged, and the smile on the corner of her mouth fell into her eyes, a wise light flashed, "If I do this, then what's the difference between me and them?"

A simple sentence made Arthur stunned for a moment and chewed it carefully.

Then, Lanli added, "What's more, this is the biggest punishment."

In front of others, enjoy attention; behind others, worry about rumors; deep down, praying for the continued absence of Lan Li. On the one hand, I want to make up my mind to cut off my fear; on the other hand, I can't help but be greedy for vanity. Throughout my life, George and Elizabeth lived like this, but now, another one has been added to the burden they bear.
