Arthur fell silent and sat quietly, his expression unwavering, and the onlookers could not feel any emotional surge. Lan Li didn't speak, didn't ask, but deep down he had a faint intuition that a storm was brewing in the Hall family, and obviously, George and Elizabeth didn't want to see it.

"Personally, it's best not to let George and Elizabeth know when you go back this time, you and I have met. Lan Li's voice sounded in his ears, Arthur came back to his senses, was slightly stunned, and then tasted the deep meaning in his words, and asked rhetorically, "What, do you mind?"

First Edith, then Arthur.

Two of the Hall's four children are trying to break free, spread their wings, and embrace freedom. To be more precise, before that, there was Lan Li, which was the source of everything.

For the Hall family, all this is a nightmare that can't wake up, and things are sliding step by step into the bottomless abyss, all of which are closely related to Lan Li, it is conceivable that George and Elizabeth gritted their teeth, if there was no Lan Li as a rebel, then all this would not have happened?

If they learned that Arthur had come to Los Angeles this time to meet with Lan Li, and he had a long talk.

Facing Arthur's rhetorical question, Lan Li showed a shallow smile, "Yes, I mind. ”

Such an unexpected answer made Arthur stunned, and then, the smile on the corner of his mouth rose little by little, and finally turned into a big smile.

Lan Li then explained, "Whatever your reason is, they will put the blame on me. There's no way, Los Angeles is my territory. The understatement was tinged with a hint of sarcasm - everyone knew that Lan Li lived in New York, and Los Angeles was definitely not his territory, which made Arthur chuckle.

"But, if they find out about our meeting, maybe they will fly over to America themselves for the first heir of the hereditary nobility and disrupt the rhythm of my life. Arthur was different after all, different from Edith and Lan Li and even with Elf, Lan Li's words named this, "The problem is that I don't have time to appease their self-esteem and pride. So, yes, I mind. ”

A faint dislike, a faint ridicule, a faint rejection, a faint indifference, a faint sharpness.

Everything is shallow, and there doesn't seem to be any aggression, but the firmness and detachment between the words could not be clearer.

The smile on the corner of Arthur's mouth gradually fell under his eyes, his eyes became deep, a touch of loneliness and loneliness flashed away, and the deep meaning in his words evolved into bitterness on the tip of his tongue.

These words are not complaining, nor are they being tough, but drawing a clear line.

It's Oscar night, the best party in the industry. As the saying goes, "What happens in Rome stays in Rome forever", and the same applies tonight, and what happens in the Sunset Tower Hotel will stay in the Sunset Tower Hotel forever. Aside from the unexpected publication of "How to Betray Your Family", the secrets of Oscar night are rarely revealed.

The meeting between Lan Li and Arthur will not spread either.

Arthur knew this, and so did Lan Li.

But Lan Li still drew a clear line, Arthur's persistence and choice, Arthur's struggle and boredom, Arthur's hesitation and hesitation, these are all Arthur's own considerations, and have nothing to do with Lan Li. Because Arthur's identity as the successor is even more special, it is destined that he needs to face far more shackles and constraints than Lan Li, and it is also destined that the courage and determination that Arthur needs will be stronger.

Growing up, Lan Li and Arthur were not friends, nor brothers, but more like strangers living on the same roof, and occasionally good competitors, he and Lan Li, Edith and Lan Li, these two relationships are different after all. Lan Li can choose to support Edith, but not Arthur.

If he were to switch positions, Arthur would be more decisive than Lan Li.

He doesn't give any advice, he doesn't listen to any troubles, he chooses himself out of the way, looks on coldly, just pretends that he doesn't know anything, nods at most a few words, and then turns away, leaving all the questions to the person concerned. This is indifference, but it is also survival, or habit.

Arthur couldn't condemn Lan Li's actions. In the past, he would not have any fluctuations at all, patted his sleeve, and could leave with ease, but at this moment, the bitterness on the tip of his tongue was tumbling and surging, indescribable, and indescribable-

So, their meeting at this moment is ...... Is it deep?

"Sometimes, I envy you and Edith. Arthur lowered his gaze and said with a lonely expression.

Lan Li chuckled, "So, are you looking forward to, am I envious of you and Elf?"

A playful joke instantly lightened the mood, Arthur thought about it seriously, and then chuckled as well, and said meaningfully, "You know what? I think maybe you should expect it." ”

Elf is also changing, since last year's West End, and is struggling to resist it.

In fact, after thinking about it, not only Edith, Arthur and Elph, but also George and Elizabeth, the entire Hall family is quietly changing, like a small pebble falling into a calm lake, originally only superficially ripples, but the ripples have never disappeared, more and more, more and more fierce, and a mighty thousand waves are brewing.

Who would have thought that the source of everything was actually the youngest son from the Hall family.

Arthur's gaze fell on Lan Li's body, and he said solemnly, "You know, everyone thinks you are an angel, but in fact, you are a demon. ”

Lan Li's eyebrows were slightly raised, and the slight glittering gaze made Arthur's heart skip a beat, how could he forget, definitely don't provoke the guy in front of him easily, otherwise he would be unlucky himself, and he actually got carried away just now. Arthur couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and gently bit his back molars to express his frustration.

"Arthur, you are not suitable for Shakespeare, so don't say such a written romance line. It's not so good for your image. Lan Li said calmly, but the simple words were full of banter.

Arthur muttered under his breath, "Damn it, it's a drip, it's a complete demon!God, Hollywood is so pathetic!" but the grumbling voices were all rolling in his throat, indistinct, not even forming a full syllable, not even talking to himself.

Raising his head, he could see Lan Li's inquiring gaze, Arthur quickly regained his composure and said calmly, "I'm not an actor, I don't need to worry." ”

Capturing the playful glint in Lan Li's eyes, as if he had seen through his thoughts, Arthur calmly turned his head and lifted his chin slightly, "Are you sure it's okay to stay here?" He has been standing there for more than ten minutes, his gaze is projected at intervals, is this a serious cover-up, or is it deliberately expressing his urgency?"

Hollywood is such a fun place, where all emotions and intentions are on the face, even at a top-notch party like Oscar night, where all the ideas are straight to the bottom? Shouldn't these old foxes be masters of social situations? Why do all of them look so innocent and cute?

Arthur suddenly felt that those actors and producers were really pitiful.

Standing in front of Lan Li, they have no secrets to speak of, but they can't understand Lan Li's thoughts, and when they negotiate face-to-face, they should be very aggrieved, even as if they were humiliated. If those top big-name producers don't like Blue Rite, Arthur won't be surprised.

Lan Li followed Arthur's line of sight, raised his eyebrows slightly, and chuckled, "Trust me, he's the only one in the whole party who won't be looking forward to talking to me. After a pause, he added, "I think maybe he is waiting for me now, but ......." ”

But not with good intentions, but with bad faith.

Lan Li's words could not be finished, because Harvey Weinstein finally couldn't hold back any longer, stepped forward, and cut off Lan Li's words.

Standing not far away next to the carved columns, Harvey was always waiting patiently, waiting for the conversation between Lan Li and Arthur to end, and the guests around him also came and went, but waited and waited, endured and endured, the conversation still did not end, and the two of them were still sitting comfortably on the sofa, Harvey finally couldn't bear it anymore.

So, Harvey picked himself up with a glass of champagne and walked over with his big round belly, deliberately slowing down to leave enough time and space for Lan Li and Arthur to notice his presence.

It's a little trick for social situations.

If you encounter a special situation and have to interrupt a conversation, but you don't want to be too rude and brutal, then within the other party's line of sight, gradually and slowly sway or approach, after capturing the other party's eyes, smile or nod your head, and step forward, preferably holding a glass of alcohol in your hand, with wine as the topic, you can naturally cut to the topic.

Even if everyone knows that this is the beginning of a formal conversation, at least in terms of etiquette, it is impeccable.

As Hollywood's top producer, Harvey's etiquette has never been a strong point, vulgar and abrupt, self-defeating, but Harvey is very skillful in presenting his grassroots attributes, more reflecting the approachable, bold and generous, refreshing and direct, crisp and neat negotiation style, and opening up contacts.

However, in order to become a high-class person, Harvey has been learning the social etiquette of the aristocracy, which can come in handy in both France and England, although it is not used so often, but in retrospect, it is not so rushed, and those basic movements are still presentable.

It's just that, in the eyes of Lan Li and Arthur, there are some tigers that can't be anti-dogs.

The footsteps stopped, Harvey maintained a standing posture, nodded slightly, and greeted kindly and politely, "Good evening, Lan Li." ”
