"Remember Elph's words? The current Hall is his Hall. ”

Elizabeth's words stung George coldly and sharply This is not Hall that belongs to Lan Li, this should be Hall that belongs to George, his emotions completely exploded, but after the outburst, Elizabeth still calmed him down again, explaining all the ins and outs:

Lan Li has always been a "Hall", whether he likes it or not, and whether he accepts it or not, he has always been the youngest son of George and Elizabeth.

Once upon a time, the Blue Rite was a stain on the Hall family, and now, the Blue Rite is the crown of the Hall family. George and Elizabeth could make the most of it, even if Lan Li was furious, it would not help, because they would always be Lan Li's father and mother, and this was a fate that could not be broken before, this bond was a stumbling block for them, and they could not shake it off with all their might, but now, the position was reversed, and they were able to make full use of this bond and regain their rank at the top of the nobility.

"Imagine if the Queen did show up in London's West End and watch her perform, and we were in his box, did that mean we would be able to meet the Queen?

"Even if it's not the West End, we might meet the Prince of Wales or the Duke of Cambridge at the investiture ceremony, and we might all be in a completely different position at a feast like a royal wedding, don't you never realise it?"

"If he does make him knighted, then a double knight, this is not a threat to your position, but it makes the name Hall shine even more brightly, just like those really large hereditary noble families, the more glory there is, the more shining the family crest becomes. ”

"Don't be like a child, we should make the most of this opportunity and create more possibilities. ”

If she could, Elizabeth also didn't want Lan Li to be honored, because every time Lan Li made history, it was proving her mistake: proving their narrow-mindedness and ruthlessness, but also proving their ignorance and conservatism, and she could even feel the ridicule and ridicule behind them all the time.

But now that things are irreversible, Lan Li has been out of their control, even if there is no award, the miracle that Lan Li has created around the world is stinging their self-esteem and pride, look at Elf's choice, look at Sisyphus Pictures and Don Quixote's channel, look at the global box office of "Interstellar", every minute and every second, Lan Li's existence is proving their original failure. That being the case, why not make the most of it?

Elizabeth was just as angry, just as scared, just as panicked, but the difference between her and George was that she didn't scream like a child, but she never really thought of a solution, she was still able to control her emotions and find a way out.

"He can't get rid of us?" asked George.

"It's like we couldn't get rid of him at the beginning, and now, it's his turn to have a headache. Elizabeth replied.

In the end, George was persuaded by Elizabeth, and he could still remember the sentence in his mind, "Imagine those jealous eyes, who have to control themselves in front of them, but who are cursing us behind their backs, but these only expose their jealousy and envy, and that villainous posture has been completely lost." ”

Now, Elizabeth's words are becoming reality, and George's spine is becoming more and more erect just by imagining the words of jealousy and complaining in the smoking room, and if you imagine Lan Li's angry and helpless expression, George's mood will take wings and fly into the sky, and even the sparse sunlight outside the window will become bright and dazzling.

Standing in place, looking around, George held his head high, always maintained a polite smile, and put on a modest posture, but it was low-key and flamboyant.

After the doorman entered, he reappeared only a moment, "Sir Hall, Madame invites you in. ”

George gestured for the doorman to open the door, and then stepped inside, and could clearly notice that his eyes were projected, and there was a little urgency in his envious eyes, and he could even see that some people were about to move, as if they were hesitating how to come forward to say hello.

Those eyes and gestures, the same as before, even as a nobleman, he still needed to please those big people, and now, he has become the focus of those envious eyes, he has become the big man in everyone's mouth, and the burning and restless gaze is slightly hot on the surface of the skin.

Although he didn't show it, he kept his composure, as if he were unmoved, but his steps were a little slower than usual, as if he were walking on the red carpet, enjoying the aura and glory of those gazes, as if the whole world was crawling at his feet.

Led by the manager on duty, he found Elizabeth sitting in a corner, and George showed a bright smile, "Why don't you choose the location by the window? Now the sun has come out." ”

Choosing between the window and the wall, the Hall couple have also experienced a struggle over the years, when Lan Li is still silent, they choose to lean against the window, openly declare themselves in charge, when Lan Li rises strongly, they choose to lean against the wall, as much as possible to avoid the public eye, and now, when Lan Li is about to be honored by the Queen, the window is obviously a better choice.

"Charlie. George gestured to the manager on duty, ready to change his position.

But Elizabeth stopped George, and said to the manager on duty, "Sir Hall needs a glass of brandy, thank you." She clearly enjoyed the position against the wall more, which seemed to be the seat she had chosen for purpose.

The manager on duty didn't ask much, politely took a step back, and just turned and left.

George was slightly surprised, but finally did not refute, "I just drank half a glass of whiskey, and I need to go back to the bank in the afternoon, if you drink brandy again, you know it's not appropriate." What the hell is going on? Now all eyes are on us, and if we choose a location here, who knows what they will guess, and what if I show up at the bank in the afternoon drunkenly, and it results in the royal family canceling the award?"

Elizabeth picked up the brandy in front of her, didn't say anything, and took a sip, "I know, I'm not a child who hasn't grown up yet, and I don't need you to remind me of this." ”

The waiter came over with a brandy, placed it in front of George, and then stepped back again.

"He has decided to refuse to accept the award. There was no forenotice or foreshadowing, and the result was said straight and straight.

"......" George froze in place, his thoughts a little unable to turn, and he stared at Elizabeth in a daze, and the first thing that popped into his mind was, "How dare he?"

The corners of Elizabeth's mouth rose slightly, revealing a mocking smile, "Why wouldn't he dare?" Why, don't you know him yet? He just wants to torment us by all means, he just doesn't want to see us happy, he just wants to watch us fall into hell! He's so cruel, so cold-blooded, just like you, proving that he's a Hall, too, isn't he?"

"Elizabeth, watch your words. George's voice suddenly cooled down, but his violent temper was faintly irrepressible, and he took the brandy, poured it into his stomach, and forced himself to calm down, but his right hand, which was holding the wine glass tightly, could not relax.

"Here, another glass of brandy, no, whiskey, no, double. George gestured to the waiters without emphasizing the name of the brand, because they were all regulars of the club, and they had their own regular alcohol here, their own bottle of wine, and when the double whiskey was served, George poured all the whiskey into his stomach with a sip of his head, and the burning and hot stomach cleared his consciousness for a moment.

George stared at Elizabeth in front of him, he didn't even know whether he was angry or disappointed, afraid or aggrieved, all emotions were surging up in one go, so much so that he couldn't tell the difference, but he felt a mouth full of bitterness, so bitter that his tongue and throat were swollen, he couldn't make a sound at all, and his brain seemed to stop working.

"What's going on?" George finally found his voice, held back a "how", and asked about the specific situation, in fact, what he really wanted to ask was "true or false", because he still couldn't believe it, and Lan Li chose to refuse to accept the award.

Elizabeth played with the wine glass in her hand, "I called Matthew and invited him to come to the exhibition. ”

"Why Matthew?" George didn't know, "I think it's more appropriate to choose Andre, Matthew and him have always been in the same camp, it is absolutely impossible for him to betray him, and Andre is the one who can break through." ”

"No, Andrei will not be able to convince him, even if Andrei has made us a promise, he will not be able to fulfill it, more precisely, he will not necessarily fulfill it, he is a businessman, a cunning businessman. Don't forget, even Alexander is willing to believe him, Andrei is in his hands, basically a pawn, so Andrei is not reliable at all. How could a cold-blooded animal like him change because of Andre?" Elizabeth saw it more thoroughly, "Matthew is the breakthrough. ”

"But we couldn't convince Matthew. George shook his head in denial, "It's better to find Eton, Eton is a soft-eared child." ”

"If you're sure you're doing it right, then why should I do it yourself?" said Elizabeth, not wanting to argue any further, and said sharply, though she had gradually calmed down, her irritability rising at George's words.

George didn't speak any further.

Elizabeth continued, "Matthew relayed his decision to me. ”
