Chapter 68: How Long Have You Been Prepared?
The whole thing is a long time to talk about in detail, and it is related to the fact that the parents almost divorced, although the father did not rekindle the old relationship with Audrey, they also have to face this hurdle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
To put it simply, Li Xu has been following his father to visit major investment banks and commercial houses since he was 6 years old, and he has also participated in some drinking parties. So when my dad went to Los Angeles to attend a Hollywood-related drinking party, he took the initiative to ask for it, after all, he dealt with the entertainment industry in his previous life.
Then I met Audrey Hepburn at the cocktail party.
No matter how many rumors there are about her, which ones are true and which ones are false, the image of Princess Anne and the subsequent act of being able to go deep into the poor areas to do charity are enough for her to earn her own status.
So Li Xu stepped forward to talk, and he also liked Princess Anne very much.
After that, just as he told Diana, Audrey, who had just experienced a miscarriage, was at a low point and came out to the drinking party to relax.
However, at the beginning of the drinking party, she hid in the corner, and no one could say a few words in the past, only Li Xu relied on the identity of a child to attract her attention.
Maybe it was because of the miscarriage, Audrey chatted happily with him, and Li Xu also tried her best to play the role of a 6-year-old child, and finally invited her to attend her 7th birthday.
Honestly, if he could know what would happen in the future, he wouldn't have made this invitation.
Later, Audrey came as promised, but she disappeared not long after she appeared, and it took a long time for Li Xu to find her in the garden, at that time...... She sat with a man and rested her head on the man's shoulder, and that man was none other than his father, Edward Lee.
Li Xu's mood at that time can only be described in one sentence: Lao Tzu is simply a dog!
It's so easy for me to invite Audrey Hepburn to my birthday party, just to create a chance for you to pick up girls, right?!
It's really unpleasant, and what makes him even more painful is that after thinking about it and knocking on the side, it feels as if Daddy was already preparing when he invited Audrey Hepburn to his birthday party.
Li Xu didn't know what to say, and after doing so, he always felt that Audrey and Mel Ferrer divorced on Christmas Eve in '68 because of his father's intervention.
It was also from that day that he fully understood his father's lengthy love history, and in the face of that long list of familiar or unfamiliar names, people could only kneel.
Then there was the divorce incident, and the ghost knows which dad was more nervous about the wrong one, and after the grandfather said that he could consider marrying Audrey after the divorce, he was really ready to divorce.
I'll you, grandpa just said that you can think about it, okay? Don't you use "just say you will think about it" all day long to squeeze me? So you will be hooked?!
So, from this point of view, Daddy is really ...... to Audrey Affectionate?
In short, because of the earthquake at home, my mother usually stayed in Japan for a few weeks and then in the United States for a few weeks, but because of this incident, she moved her team directly and stayed in the United States for more than three months.
What's worse is that the father, who has always been sensible, is emotionally and insists on divorce, even if his mother puts the gains and losses of divorce in front of him
And the mother is a strong woman, and she may lower her figure in order to compromise, but she will never ask others for charity.
Seeing that the lawyer groups on both sides were about to contact according to the procedures, the next thing was the first negotiation, and Li Xu ran out to save the situation.
"I want to go to school in a different environment, no matter where I am, as long as I have a nanny in charge of my daily life, after all, I am too young to cook for myself. After a dinner, Li Xu, who was only 6 years old, said seriously after wiping his hands.
"Anyway, for me, I have to be discriminated against everywhere I go, and I've already learned things in elementary school in Japan, so I might as well learn to be independent sooner, right?" he continued, and then rudely jumped out of his chair and left, leaving his parents who wanted to speak silent.
Honestly, it was risky, and until then he had been playing the role of a naughty kid who would occasionally pop up a precocious sentence or two. Suddenly becoming so mature will inevitably make people wonder.
But then again, it's a chance to take a risk, and it's a compelling reason for a child who has been stimulated by a divorce to mature overnight.
After all, he was really tired of pretending to be a child, and although his goal was not as clear as it is now, he also knew that with economic independence, he had personality independence, and it was necessary to make money as soon as possible.
It turned out that Li Xu won the bet, and his parents didn't have any other thoughts because of his violent reaction, and the divorce was put on hold.
This dragged on for a year, and finally ended with the flash marriage of Audrey Hepburn and the Italian Andrea Dottie in Switzerland.
Peace has returned to the family, both parents have regained their calm, and they still cooperate tacitly, as if this had never happened. There may still be some pimples, but Li Xu didn't feel it, and he began to gradually show more precociousness.
However, Daddy and Audrey still maintain a certain level of communication, and they will visit her from time to time, and it is quite interesting that they did not completely break off the relationship after her first marriage.
Of course, this also caused a bit of a butterfly effect, the most obvious is that Audrey and Dottie officially divorced at the end of last year, instead of delaying until 82.
Li Xu told Diana these selectively, focusing on how her parents almost divorced, and how she desperately turned the tide, and she couldn't stop blinking her eyes, for fear of missing a word.
"So, as you can see, it's worked out perfectly. Li Xu finally ended his story with such an exclamation.
"I can't think of it......," Diana muttered, looking at old Edward and Audrey, who were still laughing and talking, "Uncle...... Uncle is always so wise and sensible, and he can actually be so emotional. ”
"Everyone will have it, people are not machines after all," Li Xu grabbed her hand and patted it gently, "As long as the lessons or experiences will be summed up later, it is not a bad thing to have a few emotional impulses once in a while." ”
Having said that, when did he ever have such an emotional impulse? Li Xu recalled, it seemed that there really wasn't, at least not at this level of emotional impulse, could it be ...... Not only are you perverted, but you're also developing in the direction of robots?
"That'...... Uncle Edward and Aunt Audrey, what are they now?" asked Diana.
"Count...... Confidant," Li Xu frowned and thought about it, "If you want to talk about lovers, they don't go deep into the innermost, they are careful to maintain friendship, if you want to talk about ordinary friends, but they are too close." ”
Diana was slightly distracted, and only after a while did she ask again, "What...... Aunt Mochiko...... Don't you care at all?"
Ignoring her clumsy pronunciation, Li Xu shrugged his shoulders: "It's all agreed, they are not so much married, but rather married to ensure each other's cooperation." ”
Speaking of this, he stared at the beautiful face with the corner of his eye, and sure enough, there was a trace of stunned at first, then an indescribable sadness, and finally a gloomy one.
"Okay, don't think about it so much, at least make everything clear, at least it won't hurt anyone compared to those who deliberately hide it. Li Xu grabbed her hand again and patted it gently.
Diana didn't speak.
It was always dark late in the summer, and even in the mountains, after a not sumptuous but delicious dinner, old Edward invited Audrey to go for a walk in the meadow.
Li Xu and Diana naturally followed, even if they followed far behind, and several servants were even farther behind.
As for Ruby, he wasn't interested in going out for a walk, he preferred to stay in his room and continue to challenge for a higher "Block" score, which already had a bit of a game nerd flavor.
And Lady Ella, who is already an old man on the verge of death, travels in a wheelchair most of the time today, and goes to rest after dinner.
The sun soon went down, but there was still a glimmer of afterglow on the horizon that burned the clouds beautifully.
Old Edward in front chuckled Audrey from time to time, and little Edward in the back also teased Diana from time to time, and at this moment, there was a few noises in the bushes not far away, as if some animal was inside.
"Who's there?" asked Old Edward in a loud voice after holding Audrey behind him for the first time.
There was no answer, and after a while, there was another commotion, and just as he was about to push back with Audrey, and Li Xu took Diana a few steps to catch up, a small head finally stuck out of the bushes, it was just a ...... Deer!
It was a young deer, with pointed ears and no antlers, and large eyes with wariness.
It limped out of the bushes, cautiously took a few steps back in the face of the walking Homo erectus, and then saw that its hind legs seemed to be bleeding.
"Don't move!" Audrey, who couldn't take her eyes off the fawn, screamed as soon as the young deer appeared, and then carefully stepped forward a few steps, and shook it at the young deer with open hands.
The fawn took two steps back again, still looking at her warily, but seemed a little curious.
"Pipon!" Audrey cried out, turning, "do me a favor and get Martha back and get the first aid kit, the poor little hind leg is injured." ”
"Okay. Li Xu answered, and then ran back, found the servant who followed, and asked the Martha to go back and get the first aid kit.
When she returned, the fawn had crawled in front of Audrey, meekly letting her pet it as she squatted down, and she didn't know what magic she had cast on the little thing, while Daddy and Diana could only watch from the sidelines.
"Aunt Audrey, they'll be here soon. Li Xu said.
"Thanks, Add, don't worry, I'll leave it to me. Audrey looked up and smiled, her eyes glinting with joy.
Li Xu looked to the side, Diana spread her hands helplessly, obviously, they also wanted to help before, but they were also stopped.
Smiling, he immediately walked up to his father, looked at Audrey Hepburn, who was patiently comforting the young deer, he gently bumped his father with his elbow, and then asked in an imperceptible voice, "Honestly, how long have you been preparing for this scene?"
