In the past two months, London's high society has added another topic of conversation to talk about.

First, it was rumored that Arthur Hall, the eldest son of the Hall family, was in the locker room of the tennis club for a woman, and fought with another person, Gillie Hazel, against the second son of the Hamilton family, John-Hamilton, and the point is that this woman is dating the youngest son of the Hamilton family, Andre Hamilton.

Such bloody gossip is like a stimulant, which instantly makes people feel refreshed. In contrast, the rumors of the Hall family's youngest son making a triumphant return as an actor immediately broke out, and in the blink of an eye, it became a flower of tomorrow.

Soon after, the rumors had an update: not for a woman, but for a man. Andre Hamilton and Gilly Hazel's date has been updated again, and it is rumored that Andre has a new love again and abandoned Kiri, but Kili is unwilling to give up, so she takes the initiative to hook up with John, but John is not interested. So, this led to the confrontation between John and Arthur by mistake, because both of them fell in love with the same man-

The identity of this mysterious man is unknown for the time being, and there are countless speculations among the upper class, but no one has been able to find out the truth.

The scandal reached its climax at Christmas.

That night, the Hall family held a Christmas party, which was the first external event for the Hall family since the release of "Fast and Thrill/Love 5". As Lan Li gradually withdrew from the eyes of high society, quietly filming in the countryside, and did not even participate in the hunt, George and Elizabeth seemed to be finally ready to re-enter the social scene.

They invited 300 guests, and the theme of the party was the pastoral life of the aristocracy of the 18th century, not only the costumes, furniture, tableware, decorations, etc., all in the retro style, but also the flow of the banquet, the holding of the ball, and the preparation of the meal, all strictly followed the style of the year. The party was well received by all the guests. The Halls returned to London's high society in a high-profile manner.

However, the focus of the night quietly shifted. Arthur brings a close friend to the party, and this friend is a man.

In fact, this was very common and normal in aristocratic social situations, especially in the eighteenth-century theme parties, when the opposite sex met in private and had to be strictly controlled, and balls were often the best occasions for young boys and girls to fall in love.

However, given the rumors of the past period, this seems a bit unusual. At the party, Matthew Dunlop, Eton Dormer, and Andre Hamilton had gathered together, but when Arthur and his friends appeared, André left their two companions, and they didn't communicate with each other until the party was over.

After the Christmas party is over, rumors run rampant: Rumors about Arthur's sexuality are getting louder and stronger.

The most amazing thing about the whole incident is that Arthur, who is known for being well-informed in London, did not respond positively from beginning to end, as if it were ...... It was as if he had been completely kept in the dark and had no idea what was going on, and, as another source of news, John Hamilton, the news had been around him for just a few days, and then there seemed to be nothing going on with him, and there was no news update since.

By the time Arthur reacted, the matter was irreparable, George and Elizabeth were so furious that they didn't listen to Arthur's explanation at all, and in desperation, Arthur had no choice but to flee to Sicily, hiding in the middle of the Mediterranean, enjoying the bright winter sun. Because Arthur knew that it was a trap, a well-laid trap.

A trap from the Blue Rite!

It's not just John and Andre, it's not just Matthew and Eton, it's not just his best friends, Arthur strongly suspects that even Edith is on Lan Li's side and is in the same boat! Otherwise, with his news network, how could he not hear any rumors at all, and also bring gossip friends to the Christmas party?

In this regard, Arthur said that he wanted to cry without tears, he just stood on the balcony and watched the show once, why did he finally like men?

At the same time, Edith was sitting on the bus to Kandahar, the whole bus was constantly jolting up and down, and the sand and dust outside the window and the scorching sun were in the sky, and she only felt that her whole bones were about to fall apart.

In fact, she is not only the official photographer of the United Nations, she is also carrying out the tasks assigned by the United Nations, but her term of office has ended, so she can find time to do what she wants, but she still has not left the United Nations, and occasionally when there is a shortage of manpower, she will still take over the task again. Like today.

The phone in her pocket vibrated with a slurp, took it out and looked at it, the caller ID was Arthur's guy, Edith couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shrugged her shoulders, simply turned it off, and then put the phone back in her pocket, and whispered, "I'm sorry, you can only rely on yourself this time." Good luck!" She absolutely didn't admit that in this incident, she actually enjoyed it, and it wasn't entirely for the photo on Lan Li's phone.

Quickly grabbed the camera, pointed it at the ragged, scrawny children outside the car window, and pressed the shutter to record the blank eyes. Edith got into working condition.

Looking at the mobile phone in his hand that had not answered for a long time, Arthur let out a long breath and couldn't help but feel a faint pain in his temple. Edith, that guy is really unrighteous, and he actually let him face the demon Lan Li alone!

Calculate the time, it should be eight o'clock in the morning in Berlin, and Lan Li should receive his gift. Arthur dragged his chin and seriously thought about it, should he write another email and extend an olive branch to Lan Li?

Incidentally, Arthur-Hall's full name is Arthur George Hall, and his middle name George comes from his father, which is abbreviated as "AGH". Calla lily, that's the internal code of the Hall family.

"Lan Li, is this actually a gift?" After eating breakfast and finishing the look, and just as he was about to leave, Nathan saw the card next to the bouquet, he originally thought it was the hotel's breakfast service, but obviously, it wasn't. "Do you know who sent it?"

Lan Li shrugged his shoulders, changed into skate shoes, and half-jokingly said, "Maybe it's a strange anonymous admirer." Then he walked straight to the door, "Let's go, there's not much time left until the press conference." ”

So, Nathan also followed in a panic, came to Roy's side, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know who sent it?" Out of politeness, Nathan didn't read the card, but he still didn't suppress his curiosity and threw a gossip look at Roy.

Roy was also at a loss, pouting, "Who knows, maybe it's Tony Kaye?" was originally just a joke, indicating that he didn't know, but Nathan also took it seriously, and actually discussed the possibility with Roy, which really made Roy cry and laugh.

Leaving the room, you only need to take the elevator directly to the press conference – all of which are held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, which is very convenient.

"Ding" life, the elevator door opened, the bustling crowd was scattered in the spacious space in front of them, hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads in unison, realizing that the elevator standing was their target, the flash light clicked down, and the noise in the ears suddenly became noisy.

Lan Li's footsteps paused for a moment, and Nathan and Roy walked out first, opening the way in front, and then Lan Li followed. However, the reporters did not surround them, but followed Lan Li's footsteps, moving in parallel, and the sound of the shutter always maintained a dense high frequency.

In the middle of the crowd, there were more than a dozen figures that looked like ordinary audiences, three or four of them boldly ran to the front and said loudly, "Lan Li, I heard that you went to the cinema last night to watch the exhibited films, will you go again today?"

With a film festival-style question, the corners of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but rise, "I hope I still have time today." ”

The voice didn't fall, and then two people rushed up, Nathan took the initiative to meet him, blocking it with the posture of a human wall, but Lan Li patted Nathan's shoulder and said with a chuckle, "It's okay." ”

Sure enough, the next two people handed over a thick stack of book-like things, which looked like books or manuals, and then a volume of posters, "I heard yesterday that you haven't seen the 'detachment' poster now, so we have specially prepared one." On the back of the poster, there is also the autograph of a group of our supporters, hoping that this film will not disappoint us. ”

This time, Lan Li was truly flattered. A casual sentence yesterday has become an important thing for fans to remember.

Lan Li couldn't help but stop, even with the entire "team", and asked with a smile, "Is it the fans of Berlin?"

"Yes. Mainly fans in Berlin, but then also from all over the world, London, New York, Melbourne. They unfortunately couldn't make it to the Berlinale so we brought their greetings and support. The strong man standing on the left looks like an ordinary blue-collar pick-up, wearing a plain plaid shirt and brown jacket, and his hair is a little down, not at all like a fanatical movie fan, but his eyes reveal sincerity.

Lan Li looked down at the gift in his hand, "Please be sure to thank everyone on my behalf!" If he can, he hopes to communicate face-to-face with these fans and sincerely express his heartfelt gratitude. But, in many cases, the words do pale indeed. So, Lan Li smiled and said again, "Thank you!"

Taking another step, the group of fans did not continue to follow, but stopped their steps, stood behind and shouted, "Young master, come on, we look forward to criticizing your work and your performance!"

Lan Li couldn't help but laugh happily, this is really a group of cute fans.
