Escorting Lan Li to the welcome party, Philip did not follow in, but returned to the car and waited patiently in the car.

This is the correct standby state for the butler or driver.

When Nathan noticed this detail, he was a little restless, always wondering if he should also go back to the carriage instead of enjoying himself at the party, and always wondering if he was too incompetent and that he should learn the proper assistant skills from Philip.

In the end, Nathan really ran to the parking lot downstairs of the hotel, wanting to humbly ask Philip for advice on how to become a qualified assistant.

When he opened the car door, Nathan noticed that Philip had just hung up the phone, and he realized that he was a little reckless, but he was already in the boat, and he had no way to turn around now, so he could only ask:

Philip ...... Uh, I just wanted to say...... Well...... Want to know how you can behave better...... That is, how to be a competent assistant and not continue to make mistakes, which can cause harm...... I'm not saying I'm not qualified, or I want to give up, I just feel like I still have a lot to learn...... Do you know what I mean? Lan Li has been very nice to me, very, very good, and I hope to be able to help...... I mean, I wish I could take better care of Lan Li...... Because Lan Li really needs to bear a lot of pressure, others don't understand, but Roy and I can't be clearer...... I, alas, I just wanted to help. ”

Incoherent, real incoherent.

Nathan didn't know what he was talking about, he was already a little nervous, and he wasn't good at words, under Philip's eyes, his words became more and more fragmented, and finally even he didn't know what he was talking about, and what he meant was blurred.

Philip didn't speak immediately, but paused for a moment, and couldn't help but think of Matthew's words just now: "He'll be fine", now looking at Nathan, who was so nervous in front of him that he didn't know what to do, his eyes were full of warm light, and his words revealed a warm temperature, slightly ironing Philip's chest.

"First of all, give yourself a second or two before you open your mouth to allow yourself to settle down. Impatience and panic don't help at all. Philip said patiently.

Nathan was stunned for a moment, and only reacted half a beat slowly, "You mean, are you willing to teach me?" The joy seeping from between his eyebrows was full of joy, flapping like a butterfly flapping its wings, and then he couldn't wait to sit in the passenger seat, but then realized his recklessness, "Pause for two seconds, yes, I should pause for two seconds." ”

Under Philip's gaze, Nathan deliberately kept his movements unchanged for two seconds, which was really funny, but sincere and cute.

……

Matthew Dunlop also just hung up the phone and cast his eyes out the window, New York was approaching midnight, but the whole world was still noisy, which made Matthew's vision slightly distracted, and the spots of light were blurred.

"Matthew, I don't want Lan Li to be George. ”

Philip was worried about Lane because Lane had finally decided to return to London, and because Lane had finally decided to fight back, he was worried that Lane would gradually evolve into George and Elizabeth.

Isn't that true for everyone?

Day by day, I gradually became the person I hated and hated the most, and when I realized this, I could no longer tell the difference between myself and my parents, whether this was reincarnation, or retribution, or fate? Before we knew it, we destroyed ourselves in this way.

The only thing Lan Li cares about is acting, all his time and energy are dedicated to acting, but now it is different: from Sisyphus Pictures to Don Quixote Channel, and then back to London to fight back, these trivial things are slowly distracting Lan Li's attention, and there are also "Jurassic World", "Rogue One" and other commercial film performances, these plans are keeping Lan Li away from the track of polishing his acting skills, in the long run, is it that one day, Lan Li will no longer be the "Lan Li"?

Philip was worried, and Matthew was worried.

When Matthew heard about the royal legitimatery, he knew that what was due would come, and when Matthew learned about the blank postcard, he knew that he still had to face it.

But when Matthew received a call from Philip, his worries slowly settled: George and Elizabeth had made the wrong choice, and they shouldn't anger Lan Li - because it was Lan Li's reverse scale, no one!

On the road of Lan Li's dream chase, emotional bonds are his biggest driving force for progress, maybe he will not give up the exploration of performance for the sake of feelings, but without the support of feelings, he will not be able to reach the current height, break the barriers of performance step by step, and find a better self.

From Heather Cross to Paul Walker, from Ryan Gosling to Jessica Chastain, he has always been surrounded by a group of unwavering friends who are the driving force of Lan Li, and Rooney Mara's support and affirmation is one of the most wonderful things in his life, because Rooney and Lan Li are the same kind of people, she can support Lan Li's decision, even if she can't stay together for the sake of acting work, she has no complaints. Willing to do it, because she herself would make the same choice, and that kind of heart-to-heart soul response allowed him to continue to run wildly.

Camaraderie. Love. And then...... There is also family affection.

There's Arthur, there's Edith, and there's Philip.

Lan Li's fierce reaction to the Philip incident just proves his importance and attachment to emotional bonds, and also proves his firmness and protection of his inner beliefs, which is also the biggest difference between Lan Li and George and Elizabeth, and even the biggest difference between Lan Li and the other three siblings.

In George and Elizabeth's view, Elph, Arthur and Edith are all turning into another Blue Rite little by little, but in Matthew's view, the three of them are becoming their true selves little by little - it's just that they have adopted the Blue Rite method and felt the influence of the Blue Rite, and from this point of view, the Hall family is indeed evolving into the Hall of the "Blue Rite-Hall", and all this is really happening.

However, "Blue Rite Hall" will not become "George Hall".

Matthew has faith in Lan Li.

That being said, Matthew knew that it wouldn't be easy for Lan Li either.

In fact, deep down, Lan Li has always had a glimmer of hope for George and Elizabeth - if not the hope of family warmth, at least it still retains a soft place, unwilling to kill them all, and over the years, stumbles and ups and downs have continued, but Lan Li has never really attacked.

Perhaps, this is the bondage of morality:

Parents. The powerful power of this word is firmly imprisoned in the depths of the soul of the child, just like the Monkey King's tight spell, which cannot be shaken off.

Even if they are wrong again and again, even if the emotions are completely destroyed, even if they hate them to the bone, all the emotions are still the evil fruits that grow from the soil of love and attachment, just like the evil fate, they can't be swept away, and they can't let go of them or themselves.

Get you back?

Counterattack?

Hate?

After all, those strong emotions just reflect their helplessness and helplessness, because they are afraid of exposing their inner desires and eventually becoming their weaknesses.

Everyone says that parents can never win against their children, but how can children really win? There is no winning or losing in this war that should not happen.

Perhaps, in the eyes of many, Lan Li is hard-hearted and ruthless, even pointing his guns at his parents, but they will never see and cannot see the scars under Lan Li's armor, some of which are too tragic and bloody, to heal until now, and may never heal.

The so-called cold-blooded and cruel is just a self-protection that is forced to protect oneself in the process of growing up, and the big boy who laughs heartlessly because of his prank is the real Lan Li.

George and Elizabeth were wrong, they really were. They shouldn't have threatened Lan Li with Philip, and they shouldn't have used Arthur or Edith to attack Lan Li - even if it was just a thought, once Lan Li knew about it, then they would have to face Lan Li's thunderous rage.

Their judgment was correct: Philip was the weakness of the Blue Rites, but their estimates were wrong: they underestimated Philip's importance to the Blue Rites, and they also underestimated Philip's determination and decisiveness, and even more so the reaction of the Blue Rites.

The current Lan Li is not something they can compete with.

In fact, even before, when Lan Li had not been able to break out of the world, they had never been able to control Lan Li, and now it was even more impossible, provoking Lan Li was definitely a very, very unwise move. They thought they had grasped Lan Li's handle, they thought they had controlled Lan Li's weakness, but they forgot that when the dragon's scales were touched, they had to be prepared to suffer the consequences:

It could be broken bones.

But...... George and Elizabeth would not admit their mistakes, the only possible mistake was Rite: because Rite refused to obey their commands, because Rite refused to sacrifice himself for the sake of the family's honor, because Rite refused to recreate the glory of the House of Hall, because Rite refused to be their puppet.

If he could, Matthew didn't want Lan Li's hands to be covered in blood—like Philip, because that wasn't what Lan Li really looked like, but now, this battle was inevitable, George and Elizabeth had sounded the battle horn, so he would be by Lan Li's side and wield his long sword, even if he joined forces against the whole world, he would fight to the end.

With a long exhale, Matthew pulled out his phone and dialed the number.

There were some things that he didn't mind getting his hands dirty.
