Edith unconsciously spun the champagne glass in her hand, quietly listening to the conversation next to her, but it was clear that her attention had drifted elsewhere, and she could clearly feel her absent-mindedness and unrestlessness without any particular eyes, movements, or expressions.

Such Edith, set off by the smoky makeup of the punk girl, reveals a trace of vulnerability.

This made a light smile appear in Lan Li's eyes, "You say, should I be merciful?"

"Will you?" asked Matthew without hesitation.

As he spoke, Chris's footsteps had already come to them, "Hey, how are you feeling tonight?" Chris greeted in as brisk a tone as he could, but Lan Li and Matthew both only nodded slightly, which suddenly made Chris panic slightly, and he realized that his situation was really not very favorable.

Originally, Chris was still worried that standing by himself and sitting on the other party would make him look too condescending and arrogant, but the actual situation was that the other party was as stable as Mount Tai and he was cramped and uneasy, but it was like the scene of being trained in the principal's office in middle school, which instantly made Chris fall behind.

Looking back, Chris dragged a low couch over and sat down directly across from Lan Li and Matthew.

"You've probably heard that I'm not a nice person, am I?" Lan Li took the initiative to speak, but the first sentence made Chris sit still.

"No, of course not. Reflexively, Chris waved his hand again and again, denying it with social courtesies and greetings.

Lan Li didn't buy it at all, and before Chris could say any further polite words, he said in advance, "I'm serious. This immediately made Chris sneered, not knowing what to do, but Lan Li still didn't intend to let it go easily, and continued to tease aggressively, "It's not a good sign that you can't speak so easily." ”

"I'm trying! I, I'm trying. Chris said eagerly, and then took a slow beat to react, the corners of Lan Li's mouth smiled, and the seemingly serious words revealed a sense of ridicule, so ...... What the hell is going on?

Chris froze in place, not knowing what to say.

Lan Li turned his head to look at Matthew, "Am I really so vicious? You see, he was too frightened to speak. ”

Matthew shrugged slightly, "You haven't taken full form yet." ”

"Full form, what do you think I am?Charizard?" Lan Li frowned slightly.

Matthew wasn't worried at all, "No, Pikachu. ”

Lan Li rolled her eyes widely, "I can't believe your taste. You've already started watching toddler animations. ”

This time, Matthew didn't refute again, but nodded in the direction of Chris, "He's about to explode, are you sure it doesn't matter?

Lan Li said lightly, "It doesn't matter, there are a lot of this one in Hollywood, and there is no one and the next." Chris's alone will be many, and Edith can pick and choose slowly, and honestly, I think Hemsworth should be quite suitable for Edith, the same taste. ”

"What does it smell like?" asked Matthew.

Lan Li pondered for a moment, "Peach." ”

Matthew thought seriously for a moment and shook his head seriously, "No, I don't think these two are the same flavor, otherwise it's better to change to another Chris." ”

"Oh no!" Chris finally found his voice and shouted loudly.

He was completely overwhelmed now, Lan Li and Matthew's conversation was going back and forth, the speed and frequency were really too fast, there was no room for intervention at all, he just became more and more restless, more and more restless, and the content of the conversation was really too terrifying-

It's not just the content, but also the way they treat all Hollywood actors as if they were objects, and the arrogance and coldness that burst out of their bones really show the class gap, which is really chilling.

What is contempt and contempt?

Not swearing and contempt, not disdain and discrimination, but indifference, like contempt for ants, never in the eye. For the aristocracy of high society, the Hollywood actor is an object, and nothing more.

Not only Chris, but also Lan Li himself, from before to now, even at the dinner not long ago, Lan Li still has not been able to completely break the fixed concept of the entire aristocratic class. It is a kind of three views formed in the bones, which truly imprints the class difference deeply in the depths of his soul, and his every move is revealed.

It's just that Lan Li has earned a place in his own right, and he is crushing centuries of prejudice little by little.

And Chris? He's not even a beginner.

What's more, Lan Li and Matthew were consciously firing all the way today, and Chris was even more overwhelmed.

Then you can see Chris taking a big breath, forcing himself to straighten his back, trying his best to show confidence and perseverance, "No, I think I'm the best fit for Edith." ”

"Why?" In the face of Chris's excitement and excitement, Lan Li was still calm, which was too calm and too calm, and the stark contrast of emotional fluctuations also made Chris more and more embarrassed.

Matthew, who was sitting next to him, added, "Don't say anything like 'I love her,' it's the cheapest pledge in the world." ”

Love is important. No one can deny it.

But in addition to love, there are other laws of operation in this world, interests, status, glory, inheritance and the overall situation, which cannot be replaced or measured, and when necessary, love is a bargaining chip for sacrifice, not a tool for creating the future. This is wrong in the eyes of idealists, and stupid in the eyes of realists.

Aristocrats, precisely a kind of realist. Because the reality they have is right for them. The same goes for the Wall Street elite.

Matthew's words are right in their eyes. For the interests of the family, the so-called love, the so-called marriage and family affection, are all just bargaining chips.

The coldness that burst out from the depths of his soul made Chris shudder, and the words that came to his lips stopped like this.

At this time, he was completely immersed in his own thoughts, and could only barely notice that Lan Li and Matthew exchanged glances, but he couldn't distinguish the true emotions in their eyes, and finally took a sip of the champagne in his hand irritably, but it didn't work, and his mouth became more and more dry, "Because...... Because I love her. ”

Chris finally said it, trying to explain, but found that all the words were pale and at a loss, and in the end, he could only say this sentence, the "cheapest" sentence.

The smile on the corner of Lan Li's mouth rose slightly, "You should know that in the face of interests and glory, love is the most humble thing. ”

"But it's also the greatest thing. Chris finally found his voice and replied forcefully.

Matthew still had a lukewarm expression on his face, "It seems that in Hollywood, the vanity fair, I still found something different." For example, lines. There weren't too many ups and downs, but the deep meaning of cynicism was not disguised.

Chris's cheeks suddenly became rosy, and he choked himself inexplicably, and began to cough violently.

Lan Li didn't continue to embarrass Chris, just smiled and said, "Tonight's hero is me, let's not blur the focus." I'm feeling unhappy now. A joke, as if everything was just a joke, and the atmosphere began to lighten, but Chris's smile was still a little stiff and couldn't be hidden as perfectly as Lan Li and Matthew.

"DC has already made a move, how about it, does Marvel have any special response plan next? Lan Li changed the mood with a simple word.

To be honest, the conversation just now is not even shocking education, but Chris can't resist it, no wonder Andre complained again and again before. Obviously, Andre knows Chris well enough, or rather, the same kind of Hollywood boys who are similar to him.

Chris was still a little distracted, and said absent-mindedly, "I don't know, we shouldn't have a plan for the time being." ”

"Don't talk as if you've been following Marvel news closely, haven't you never watched it?"

She still couldn't bear it after all.

Lan Li and Matthew exchanged glances, and the expression of complaining and powerlessness could not be more obvious.

Edith instantly caught the change in detail, her eyes widened fiercely, and she looked at the two people with a coercive look, as if threatening: no talking, no protesting, no complaining!

Then you can see that Lan Li and Matthew are quietly closing their mouths, and their well-behaved appearance is becoming more and more sarcastic, which makes Edith more and more embarrassed.

A quick exchange of glances, fleeting, Chris didn't notice it at all, quickly stood up, stood up behind Edith with a caring expression, and said in a low voice, "Why are you here? Don't you say okay, leave this matter to me? Don't worry about me, I'm fine." ”

Edith shook her head slightly, "I thought you were done. ”

Immediately, Edith saw Chris's blank expression, and she understood that Lan Li's cheerful smile and expression were actually hinting that the test was over, and deliberately reassuring her, so she took the initiative to come over, but Chris didn't know anything about it, which made Edith's heart sink slightly, and she realized: Chris didn't pass the test.

But on the surface, Edith remained silent and smiled again, "Don't worry. Neither Lan Li nor Matthew are outsiders. ”

Edith gestured with a slight gesture in her eyes, reassuring Chris.

Then he looked at Lan Li and Matthew again, but heard Lan Li say smugly, "You should know that we can hear all the whispers just now, right?"

Lan Li is deliberate! Damn Lan Li!
