Since it is a charity auction, everyone needs to participate in it, and if they are not interested in competing items, then donate some items in the hope of finding someone to complete the charity auction, and the value of these items will also determine the overall quality of the auction.

Lanli also donated its own items, which are divided into two types: signed and anonymous.

The signature itself is not much valuable, but more closely related to his personal situation, not so much the value of the auction item, but the auction of personal fame and public memory;

Although the charity auction is an important occasion for Blue Gift to return to London, it is only an incidental value, and Blue Gift will not forget the core meaning of the charity auction: charity, which is the most important thing, and he sincerely hopes to contribute to the small strength of African children.

Since the Heather Cross Foundation, Blue Gifts has been keeping a low profile in its philanthropic work. It's a way for him to give back to society, because he's been reborn, because his dreams have come true, because of Heather Cross, and because of Don Quixote, who's interpreting the meaning of life in his own way.

Therefore, Lanli treats this charity auction with the highest standard, and sincerely hopes to be able to auction a good number.

"God, how did they estimate that? I told them that this guitar is fifty dollars at most, and now it's priced at a thousand pounds, isn't the premium too serious?" Lan Li stood in front of an auction item, smiled, and shook his head slightly.

The anonymous one is a snuff box, and the real one is a guitar and a sheet of music.

Matthew glanced at the guitar and sheet music in the display case, then looked down and flipped through the details and descriptions of the items in the auction brochure, "...... Shouldn't that be worth £10,000? After all, under the name of Blue Rite-Hall, it's definitely not an ordinary item. ”

Rarely, Lan Li was slightly embarrassed, "Matthew, are you laughing at me now?"

"Yes. Matthew nodded seriously and said, which made Lan Li couldn't help but laugh, and then Matthew continued, "Actually, I'm also a little curious, in London, how much your name is worth." Aren't you curious?"

Although in the past few years, the position of Blue Rite in London has been rising, and it has even been recognized that "Hall" means two different Halls, one for George and one for Blue Rite, this treatment is definitely not so simple, and even makes George and Elizabeth fearful.

But the problem is that these are all virtual and cannot be quantified, and those discussions are only at the level of discussion after all, and it is impossible to determine what position Lan Li has reached - using money to calculate fame, which is indeed very vulgar and not completely reliable, but it is the most intuitive quantitative formula at this stage, at least it can give people a look from the side, to what extent Lan Li's status in the upper class of London has reached.

Lan Li opened his mouth slightly, and then smiled dumbly, "No, I'm not curious. "Not a joke, but sincerely.

Matthew also bowed his head lightly in agreement, he also knew that Lan Li would not be curious or careless, but he still said, "I am very curious. After a pause, Matthew continued, "George and Elizabeth were also curious. ”

"Huh. Lan Li laughed directly.

Then, Matthew shifted his gaze: at the end of the field of vision, a waiter appeared, the other party did not get too close, but stood within the range that could be covered at the end of the field of vision, waiting for Matthew or Lan Li to notice his presence, and then smiled and explained his intention.

"Your Excellency. There are guests coming to visit at the door. "The details of the words are very particular, and the guests next to them who have their ears stretched out can't catch any information.

Guest?

The guests who came to the charity auction today are all guests, but Lan Li is not the organizer, even if there are guests, it is not Lan Li's turn to entertain, and the first target to look for should be Alexander or Arthur;

Lan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, he didn't know the specific situation, exchanged a glance with Matthew, gestured to the staff's jaw, and then followed the other party out of the showroom, and Matthew also walked with him - the staff paused for a moment, paid attention to Lan Li's expression, and then continued to move forward.

……

George Hall stood at the door of the cloakroom with his waist straight, still with a calm smile on his face, and occasionally saw other guests passing by, and he also bowed his head generously, and his calm and calm demeanor blended perfectly with the noise of the scene, as if they were just waiting in the cloakroom to store their belongings, and nothing special happened.

Elizabeth Hall, who was standing next to her, was wearing a champagne pink floor-length dress, with a small black suit on her upper body, which cleverly integrated a trace of the intellectuality and strength of a working woman between grace and luxury, and most importantly, it was distinguished from the grand occasion of the dinner party, showing her unique charm, and her appropriate smile also showed the unique temperament of calm atmosphere.

The guests who appeared one after another were a little surprised, and their eyes couldn't help but stay on the Hall couple.

Nominally, Lan Li appeared as a special guest, and the appearance of the Hall couple seemed to be a matter of course, especially in recent times, since the rumors of Lan Li being included in the royal honor waiting list leaked, the Hall couple has begun to be active again.

But the upper class is aware of the twists and turns, and the relationship within the Hall family is definitely not as harmonious as imagined. When Lane is not in London, the Halls are able to spread their hands, but after Lane's return, the Halls may not be able to continue to be party guests.

Perhaps, the appearance of the Hall couple at the auction was the result of Lan Li's instructions?

Especially when the gaze fell on the Hall couple, their calmness and elegance seemed to prove that there was nothing strange about this matter, and those speculative eyes were just villains. As a result, the atmosphere at the Garrick Club has undergone a subtle change.

Those sights, those changes, those surges, George and Elizabeth can feel it clearly, which also makes George's spine more and more erect, and the state of excessive force almost makes the waist rod break, and there seems to be a hidden aura in his chest waiting to break through the ground.

George turned his head to look at Elizabeth and said with a smile on his face, "I can't understand why we have to send it to the door when we know the result?"

The simple words revealed a gritted anger, the volcano under the calm surface seemed to be about to erupt at any time, the more depressed it was, the more tense it became, the calmer it was, the more turbulent it became, but the aura around the whole person still converged, and others didn't feel the slightest difference.

In the face of George's accusations and pressure, Elizabeth did not show weakness and met her husband's gaze with a smile, "Because the result of our non-appearance is even worse." You should also be clear. Isn't it? I don't need to explain it to you, or is your IQ already degrading?"

Lan Li refused the royal award, Philip chose to resign and leave, and Lan Li bought a London residence...... Also, Arthur is back in the social scene.

In less than two months, the Hall family has undergone a drastic change, and it is enough to change the lives of George and Elizabeth, and now that the entire Hall family is in chaos, how can they not know what is happening?

Lan Li really sounded the horn of counterattack!

From Eton Dormer's private party the year before last year to the welcome party of the Earl of Oxford last year, what George and Elizabeth worried about but never happened, now it finally happened, they still couldn't stop Lan Li after all, the stubborn cold-blooded guy finally decided to tear off the mask, regardless of the bond of his parents' affection, raised the scythe of death at them, and officially stood on their opposite.

"I knew it. God, I knew that!"

This is the only reaction in George's mind, he knows that Lan Li is a guy without a heart, any characters and things that stand in front of him will be ruthlessly cut off, even if it is a parent, they will become the victims of the stepping stone on the way forward for Lan Li, and their most fearful day is still here after all.

During the time that Philip was away, the Hall family had been completely messed up - the orderly life had completely collapsed, George and Elizabeth didn't want to take time to deal with Lan Li, even their own lives had become a mess, and they couldn't take care of themselves at all without the life of the housekeeper, and Lan Li's "salary from the bottom of the kettle" put them in a desperate situation.

It took a lot of time to find a housekeeper again, but I needed to adapt to a new life in the midst of stumbling. Not to mention that Philip's thoughtfulness and thoughtfulness are definitely not comparable to a casual housekeeper, just Philip's understanding of the Hall family for half a century is not something that can find a successor overnight, which is why the housekeeping work is often hereditary, and the father leads the son to learn, just like the master teaches the apprentice by hand.

Until now, George and Elizabeth have not been able to fully adapt to the current living situation, and the discomfort caused by the small details has begun to cause mental stress, and then the blue rite officially returns, and suddenly they are attacking their territory, and the charity auction has become a knife gate hanging from their heads, threatening their lives at all times.

Now they have to face the danger of falling apart with their already precarious lives, they can't take risks, what can they do but face them head-on?

That guy doesn't want to let them be happy, is he?
