1380 Iron-hearted
Melissa forced herself to pull herself up, it was not an easy task. But, she didn't have a choice. She messed up, things messed up like that, and although she still didn't understand what was going on, how Lan Li had seen through everything, but it had come to this, and she was now in a desperate situation, and the survival book/energy began to bubble in her body.
Lan Li rejected John's proposal. She still hasn't been expelled from the crew.
That's the good news.
Melissa's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, full of hope, Lan Li did not rush to kill, Lan Li was still tolerant and generous, does this mean...... So, how should she impress Lan Li?
"I'm sorry. Melissa said cautiously, showing her truest faceβshe felt panic and fear, all without pretense, but she still tried to lower her posture, like an ant, humbly begging for Lan Li's forgiveness, she knew that those in power liked to see it like this, as if they could control the life and death of others.
Melissa looked at Lan Li's expression with the rest of her eyes: there was no change, which was good news, and it showed that her strategy was correct.
"I ...... I knew it wasn't right, but it was all my agent's idea, and she said it was how Hollywood works. Melissa didn't cry, but muttered in a choked way, the tenacity of the grievances in the weakness, not too flattering, but able to show her "persistence".
She knows how to impress men.
"She said that this is a really rare opportunity and I have to make the most of it. I refused, I denied, but she didn't give me much choice. Melissa stopped talking and threw all the black pots to her agent as much as she could, in fact, this is how the actor and the agent work together.
But Melissa's cleverness lies in the fact that she didn't condemn the agent too much, but then took the blame on herself, "I know I know, in the end, it's all my choice, I nodded yes, I came forward personally, it's still my fault." I shouldn't be like this, I shouldn't have agreed. β
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......"
As she spoke, Melissa covered her cheeks, tears streaming down her hands. She didn't ask for anything, just kept apologizing and begging for mercy, because she clearly knew that apology was the only core essence at this moment, and any request would not achieve the goal, but might cause the other party to be disgusted.
Lan Li, who was standing on the side, didn't say a word.
Everything in front of me is like a mime, full of an absurd and embarrassing sense of inexplicable joy, showing the ugliest side of Hollywood, Vanity Fair, in the most vulgar way.
This is not the first time Lan Li has encountered a similar situation, at the fork in the road of Vanity Fair, a thought made different choices, there is no right or wrong at all, just different values and orientations, leading to the end in their own way, there is no need to condemn the other party, but it is just that the way is different.
But Melissa chose the most crude way, like a bad soap opera, or a naΓ―ve high school stage play, dramatizing everything, but hiding a thick vulgarity and boredom.
Such a means cannot be further in Vanity Fair. Of course, maybe it was because Melissa had never been exposed to really advanced methods at all, and this was the best way she knew, and it wasn't her fault.
Therefore, people always say that character determines destiny, and vision determines life.
Objectively speaking, Melissa is smart, she knows how to seize opportunities, she also knows how to look at moderation, and she also knows how to weigh the pros and cons. In particular, the choice and grasp under the crisis situation is indeed impressive, and it is far from the innocence and sweetness of Lincoln Center when they first met.
Melissa raised her gaze through her fingers and glanced at Lan Li quietly, but she only saw a calm face, she was a little unpredictable, this was not normal.
So, Melissa decided to take the initiative.
"Lan Li, I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize. There's no next time, there's absolutely no next time, I really know it's wrong. I beg your pardon. Melissa said urgently, taking a small half step forward, trying to grab Lan Li's right hand.
But Lan Li quietly gave way and avoided her movements, which made Melissa stunned in place, tears like broken pearls, falling down in large pieces, "You still won't forgive me, right? I really know my mistake, what can I do? Or can I make amends? I am willing, really, I am serious." I promise, there will be no next time. β
"I know, there's no next time. Lan Li said calmly, in the face of Melissa's bitter tears, he showed a hard-hearted calmness and calmness, the extreme drama and the extreme calmness were in stark contrast, the gap was so great that it created an unbelievable sense of absurdity.
Melissa froze in place, tears hanging from her eyelashes, for some reason.
Lan Li was still smiling, he was still the gentleman who lived above the media, but the temperature in his eyes had faded, "This is the last time." β
For the last time.
Melissa suddenly understood what this sentence meant, and instantly received a hundred thousand critical blows, and the whole person began to burp, once, again, she couldn't help but cover her mouth firmly, looking at Lan Li in disbelief, she couldn't believe that Lan Li actually said such cruel words so lightly.
"It's not fair. Melissa reflexively said, and the resentment and anger erupted.
Melissa shook her head repeatedly, still refusing to believe her ears, "I've apologized, I'm apologizing, haven't you heard? Even if you sin, there is a chance to atone, but why didn't I? Why?"
"Because there's not the slightest hint of genuine apology in your eyes. Lan Li smiled and said, "You know, there are two kinds of apologies, one is sincere and the other is calculating. After a slight pause, Lan Li shook his head slightly, "I don't like the latter. β
To be honest, Lan Li really gave Melissa too many opportunities, from the night at Lincoln Center to this day, he left room for manoeuvre step by step, hoping that Melissa would suddenly come to her senses, and then everything could dissipate into the wind, just like Emma Watson did not so long ago.
But Melissa missed it all, and even in the end, she was still calculating. The point is, she's not as smart as she thinks.
In addition, Lan Li must also admit that after that, his emotions have always been a little irritable, even after experiencing the baptism and precipitation of the best friend party, he calmed down a little, but the ubiquitous spotlight still gradually amplified the negative emotions, and it was inevitable that he would be a little overly aggressive when dealing with things.
If it had been before, Lan Li might have laughed it off, but today, he had no room to leave.
"It's not fair! everybody's calculating, everybody!" Melissa's eyes widened, and her delicate and sweet face became hideous.
"Yes. It's not fair. Lan Li gently bowed her head in agreement.
It was so crisp and neat, but Melissa couldn't help choking, and the words that followed were stuck in her throat like this, not knowing how to deal with it, tears hanging on her eyelashes, completely stunned in place.
"Everyone has a choice, and when you choose to break the ice and win in this way, you are not eligible to be treated equally. I'm not a judge, but I'm not Jesus either. β
"......," Melissa tried to speak, but she didn't know what to say, and only squeezed out a word of defense, "but that's the case with everybody. β
"Yes, then you have to bear the consequences of everyone's failure. Lan Li replied calmly. But when he said that, he realized that his tone was too much like that of a high judge, which was not his intention.
After a moment's pause and serious thinking, Lan Li remained calm and added, "My advice, since you have chosen this way, go on with determination. Don't arm yourself with morality when you fail, it's not worth it. Because it makes you more humble. β
It's like it is now.
At some point, Lan Li admires Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lawrence, and even Chris Hemsworth even more. At least, they stuck to the path they chose, and walked on without hesitation, this is a kind of attitude towards life, Lan Li does not agree with it, but it does not mean that it is right or wrong.
Being like Melissa only makes yourself more miserable.
Lan Li didn't want to continue to entangle, it was useless to talk more, the matter had already settled by this point, he took a step and left the area at the door of the apartment, but then he remembered one more thing, and turned to look at Melissa, who had lost her soul, "Complete your work." β
Melissa looked up in confusion and looked at Lan Li in amazement.
Lan Li explained, "You just said, what should you do? You should do your job well. If I had been in the state of my performance today, I would have been very worried. β
There are too many flaws.
Melissa watched Lan Li's back as he left, he didn't take a taxi, but stepped on his skateboard - only then did Melissa notice the skateboard in Lan Li's hand, she had never noticed such a detail, and after half a beat of slowness, the humiliation and pain began to slowly come up, like a loud slap in the face, and the hot pain spread little by little.
Everyone said that Lan Li was a gentleman, elegant and calm, gentle and decent, and personable.
Melissa used to think so, but now she realized that Lan Li was a demon, the kind of cold-blooded and cruel in her bones, hidden deep under the skin of a gentleman, sharp and cruel to hurt her to the ground, she suddenly realized that she had provoked this demon, so the future ......
Thinking of this, Melissa couldn't help but shudder, one another, and another, and couldn't stop at all.
