Chapter 148: Naked Reality
Because of the Mediterranean climate, the night in Los Angeles is like a change of face, the temperature drops from the mid-twenties to about four or five degrees during the day, and the wind blows, blowing the leaves of the tall palm trees in the manor outside the villa.
George's family sat in an all-glass room that was extended from the villa, and when they pressed a button, the curtains covering the glass automatically and slowly parted to both sides, revealing the full view of the night, through which the moon could be seen hanging high in the air, like a guiding light.
"Henas declined the invitation, and told him that I was back, and that I would not go out to any party for today's family dinner. ”
George looked at Alice, who was sitting next to her with a pout, and the smile on her face was just what she said, but she didn't allow any refusal.
"You are prejudiced against Paris and Henas, why can't I play with them, I'm an adult now, I have my own independent mind, you can't do this to me. ”
It's okay that George didn't speak, but as soon as he spoke, Alice immediately showed a state of grievance and salivation, pointing at George to vent her dissatisfaction.
"Alice, you can't point at your brother like that, it's very rude. ”
Qiao Li saw George pick up a piece of preserved fruit and stuff it into Alice's mouth, Alice didn't chew, just like that, pointed at George behind her, and said loudly.
"Mom, it's okay, let's listen to how Alice, who has an independent mind and her own mind, justifies the good and the bad, this is a very important thing, as long as Alice can convince me, I will not stop her from communicating with Paris and Henas in the future.
After all, both of them come from large families and have noble upbringings, and there is a lot to learn from them, but only if Alice can convince me. ”
In the hands of the servant, George took Aunt Zhang's red jujube tea from the red dates produced in the new province that Gigi brought to his mother, and put it in front of his mother, handed Gigi a cup, and he poured a cup of Tieguanyin from Zhejiang Province brewed from the purple clay pot given to her by Smith on the table, and then poured it full for himself, and after re-cooking, he pushed the juice in front of Alice.
"You have said that there is a lot to be learned by holding on to them, don't you think that the English court education and politeness they received from below are very indicative of a person's upbringing?"
"Alice, these are not enough, far from enough for you to convince me, you must know that if I want, I can always hire a court etiquette teacher in England to come and teach you personally, by the way, Charles's butler is British, and his family is a family of butlers.
As a man whose ancestors used to be stewards in the court, he knows more than those so-called court teachers now, and I can ask him to teach you and make you a real person comparable to a princess. ”
George shook his head at Alice's sweet-hearted staring man, and uttered his own rebuttal, indicating that she wasn't enough to convince him.
"You ,,,,,, you are clearly embarrassing me, you can have a leg with Paris, why can't I have a relationship with her, you ,,,,,,,,,,,"
Alice stood up excitedly and spit out the preserved fruit that had been stuffed in her mouth, and shouted at George, just looking at George's darkening face and the mother next to her, although she was smiling, she didn't seem to be the same as just now, and immediately knew that she had said the wrong thing, lowered her head, and didn't say anything.
"Alice, I am against you, not because I have been in contact with Paris for a while, and being friends with her, especially now that you can't keep your heart, you will be taken by her to another road, a road that will never coincide with the current one.
Paris's personality is almost the same as that of her father, who worked in the industry, never thinking about the consequences of doing things, and will only become a laughing stock in the end.
We're bastards, but we're also members of the Watt family, and there are some things that we can't do with us, and I don't want you to be a laughing stock, and in such an open country as the United States, it would be a great thing to be able to be a laughing stock and let everyone go around you.
Why did I encourage you to make friends with Elizabeth before I left, disdainful of Henas, the crazy genes of the Henas family doomed them to be crazy all their lives, this is a crazy family, you are friends with her, you think you will go to that point in the future.
Elizabeth is different, she is the heir to the same newspaper group as Henas, a well-educated and well-trained in manners, but Elizabeth has nothing but a good education because of Murdoch.
One and all the halos in one, arrogant, if it weren't for the family's thriving business, she wouldn't be a popular person, Elizabeth was the daughter of the nouveau riche who was saddled by the ugly duckling and became the white swan that everyone is now pursuing step by step in the eternal unpopularity of high society, as Murdoch's career grew and his status rose, he still didn't have any arrogance, he was polite and received unanimous praise.
You say that my blocking is right or wrong, and I will not object to you when you are eighteen years old, if you still like to associate with Parishenas, when you are an adult and can take responsibility for your actions.
Not now, Mom is your guardian, and when it is inconvenient for her, I will automatically become your guardian, and you must listen to us until you have a bar mig. ”
Although George was a little angry at Alice's accusation, he quickly calmed down the anger in his heart, pulled Alice, who was standing there and realized that he had made a mistake, back to his seat, and combined what he had heard to organize the language.
"And more importantly, you have to keep in mind that they are kind to you and draw you into their circle not because of you personally, but because of me, your brother Carter George, in the East, who has done enough capital to be equal to the old Hilton and Henas II.
Now that you are a real princess, don't get excited about them making friends with you and pulling you into their circle, you already have enough capital to form your own circle and let anyone welcome you into any circle and be welcomed and respected.
You can think about why they have suddenly become enthusiastic about you from the past lukewarm to now, what your brother did in Xiangjiang a month ago, although it is not widely known, but it can't be hidden from them who are well-informed, why did Henas suddenly come to Los Angeles from New York, she knows that your brother and I have officially set foot in the newspaper industry from today, become a shareholder of the Los Angeles Times, become a member of the newspaper industry, and now I am standing in a circle one level higher than them.
The so-called high society is a realistic society, when you have enough capital corresponding to them or even fear, they will greet you with a smile, once it changes, everything will go in another direction, you are my sister, I will not hurt you. ”
