Andre looked at Arthur and Edith with a gloating expression, and stretched out his right hand triumphantly, "I am willing to lose the bet." ”

Lan Li didn't stop it, but asked with great interest, "What did they lose?"

Edith, who was still depressed, also gloated, and raised her chin to signal Arthur, "His humidor." ”

Lan Li's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

He knew that the humidor, which Arthur had bought from a private auction, was not worth much in itself, two thousand pounds, but it was a commemorative harvest of Arthur's first solo appearance at a private auction when he was fourteen years old, and that there was a watercolour painting of a beautiful woman lying on a couch.

André undoubtedly saw the humidor, and out of curiosity, he half-jokingly took the initiative to ask for it, but Arthur naturally refused righteously.

After that, every time they met, Andre had to ask for it in a prankish manner, not so much because he really liked it, but because he was mischievous, especially when Andre jokingly traded his connections and business in exchange, and Arthur still disagreed, which became a regular episode between them.

I didn't expect that Andre would succeed today.

However, Lan Li knew that Andre was just joking.

The cigar box will definitely be accepted, after all, it is a matter of integrity and dignity to accept the gamble, if André refuses, it will be an insult to Arthur, but in exchange, he will definitely compensate Arthur in other ways, especially since Arthur is now on his own, and Andre's connections can definitely help a lot.

"Andre, so, how are you going to give me a share?" Lan Li said with a smile.

Andrei pursed his lips and said in a righteous manner, "The bishop taught me not to make deals with demons. ”

"So did the Bishop educate you about the consequences of refusing to make a deal with the devil?" Lan Li asked unhurriedly.

Andrei rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You can choose to keep your mouth shut, it won't affect our friendship." Edith, who was sitting next to her, chuckled, as if enjoying Andre's deflated appearance.

Andre immediately turned his head and said solemnly, "Hey, what about you? When will your bet be cashed out?" I think it's a good time for Curtis to make another run. ”

In an instant, Edith glared at Andre speechlessly.

André continued to explain to Lan Li, "Edith's bet is that Hollywood Captain America to come over and have a meal or afternoon tea with us. It just so happened that Lan Li was also here, and I thought, this is the perfect time. ”

Captain America. Used here and now is dejorative.

The corners of Lan Li's mouth outlined a shallow smile, "All of you regard me as the Great Demon King, are you sure I'll be happy?"

The understatement made everyone chuckle for a moment, and Qi Qi turned his gaze away, pretending that nothing had happened.

At this moment, the butler appeared in sight with the tray in his hand, cut into the conversation with precise timing, broke the awkward void that seemed to be nothing, and successfully found the steps for Andre, Arthur, and Edith, and immediately eased the atmosphere. This kind of cultivation and quality can be seen that he is a real professional.

Lan Li picked up the whiskey in front of him and gently raised his glass towards Arthur.

Breaking free from the shackles of the family and taking the first step, even if it seems to outsiders to be extremely simple, only by truly being in it can we understand those difficulties and pains.

First Edith, then Arthur, the shackles of the Hall family are falling apart little by little.

While the analogy is inaccurate and inappropriate, so is the British royal family, first Princess Diana, then Princess Kate, then Prince Harry, and later Princess Meghan, and little by little the aristocracy is shedding its dignity and shelf, looking for a new place in the 21st century.

From an individual point of view, the breakthrough and impact of Lan Li is undoubtedly sensational, setting off a storm among the entire upper class, but from the perspective of the entire era, this is just a small wave, not worth mentioning at all.

Even without too many words, Arthur could feel the blessing of Lan Li.

Perhaps, when Lan Li invited them to Cannes at the banquet of the Earl of Oxford before, he had already anticipated the arrival of this day, and although there was no indication in words, he silently helped in action—

From the help of André Hamilton, to the smooth introduction of the Barière Group, to the unhindered flow of Cannes celebrities. Arthur has gained so much from this trip to Cannes that he has just decided to set up his own door, and he has successfully opened the door in Cannes, leading to many European artists and celebrities.

Affection.

For aristocratic families, this is a strange word, because the bond of family affection is far less important than the family inheritance, for the sake of the family, the individual can be sacrificed, and similarly, for the sake of the family, the individual must disappear behind the surname, but now, Arthur feels it in Lan Li's body.

That's warm.

Arthur turned his head, and then he saw the bright light in Edith's eyes, as if he had already anticipated the current situation, which made Arthur slightly embarrassed, raised his whiskey, saluted Lan Li, and poured all the amber alcohol down his throat in one go.

For a while, the bustling discussion precipitated, and everyone silently picked up the wine glasses in their hands, saluted each other, and took a sip. Bathed in the moonlight, this tranquility and peace swelled quietly, and even the night breeze of the Côte d'Azur seemed to bring the drunkenness and warmth of early summer.

For the first time, they sat together like ordinary friends, drinking and talking.

Lan Li gently shook the glass in his hand, the amber alcohol was gently turning, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Arthur, this is better not your brand new location, otherwise it would be too rude." Andrey, you didn't protest strongly?wait, or did the housekeeper here not realize it at all? No, he didn't look like such a discerning amateur. ”

This glass of whisky is not from the Dalmore brand.

In other words, it was not a mistake to entertain Andre Hamilton with another brand of whisky, but it was indeed a faux pas.

Andre shrugged his shoulders lightly and teased nonchalantly, "It seems that I still need to work hard in the European market." ”

Arthur also showed a big smile, "This is Dominique-Desseigne's estate. He was a very hospitable gentleman, and it is clear that he entertained countless distinguished guests here, and my visit to his cellar was truly eye-opening. I think Dalmo should be in the collection, but he only treasures the best Dalmo. The problem is that we haven't reached the level yet. ”

They don't deserve the most precious Dalmo.

Is this a compliment or a denigration?

Lan Li bowed his head lightly to show that he had finally awakened his memory, Dominique de Sene, the current president of the Barrière Group, and the gentleman who arranged the hotel accommodation for Lan Li this time, "Is he the hero who caused a sensation in Paris last year?"

Both Andre and Arthur nodded meaningfully in the affirmative, but Edith was confused and didn't know why.

"Why, have you even heard about it?" Andre was slightly surprised, "I thought you weren't interested in this gossip. ”

Eaton brought it up. He and the lady were acquainted. Lan Li explained simply.

At the end of last year, a court case caused a stir throughout France and even Europe.

Rachida-Dati, the former French minister of justice and the current member of the European Parliament, was deeply involved in the brand-name scandal, and was suspected of buying a large number of luxury clothes with public funds during his tenure, as much as 180,000 euros, and in the midst of the storm, the issue of having a child out of wedlock in 2009 also became the focus of attention again.

For this reason, the forty-seven-year-old Lazida broke the news that the child's biological father is the sixty-eight-year-old Dominique de Sene, and most of her luxury goods come from gifts from the other party. But Dominica refused to take a DNA test, and an angry Lazida took Dominica to court with a lawsuit, demanding that Dominica be compulsorily tested for DNA.

Dominic directly broke the news in an interview that during Lazida's pregnancy, he was just a member of the audience/act/guest, and during the same period, Lazida maintained an ambiguous/ambiguous relationship with as many as eight men, including a TV host, a minister, a chief executive officer, a former Spanish prime minister, a brother of former President Nicolas-Sarkoze, the Minister of Justice of Qatar and the heir to a luxury company.

After the news was announced, it caused a sensation throughout Europe. The problem is that Lazida is unable to effectively refute it, and as a result, the whole political and political field has set off a storm that everyone is in danger, and the upper class is even more talked, including top luxury fashion brands including Eaton Dormer.

At the moment, there is no update on the case.

According to French law, the husband has the right to refuse the DNA test, and unless the woman can present further substantive evidence to help the court make a judgment and compel the completion of the relevant test, the case will only be stuck in place. However, on the whole, when the husband continues to refuse the appraisal, the French court has the right to find that there is a mistake and make a judgment against the husband.

"God, I wonder if I'm on the wrong set. You're talking about gossip that I haven't heard of, sorry, but am I missing something?" Edith spit out without embarrassment, and rolled her eyes exaggeratedly.

Both Arthur and Andre cleared their throats in embarrassment, pretending to drink and avoiding the topic.

But Lan Li looked at Edith calmly and said with a smile, "I thought you were starting to get used to it." ”
