"So, dear father, what do you think...... I should have lifted my chin and said dismissively, nothing remarkable. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info should still hold your hand and say affectionately, I finally know how difficult it is to be a father now. Li Xu looked at his father's spread hand.

"I'd love to say the latter one, but ......," Daddy laughed and shook his head, "it's too numb." ”

"Even if you wanted to, I wouldn't say." Li Xu snorted.

"So, II, are you going to let that girl come with you?" Daddy changed the subject, "You should have told her that you couldn't marry her, right?" ”

"Yes, I told her." Li Xu nodded.

"French women are not easy to deal with," the father sighed immediately, "it is a pity that Catherine was easily coaxed for a few years, but she still left." ”

"Okay, Dad, don't tell me about you and Catherine? Deneuve's affair," Li Xu interrupted unceremoniously, "Besides, when did you go to France and didn't ask her out." ”

"Okay, okay." Old Edward raised his hands, "Next, you know where we're going, right?" ”

"Peace House, I'm going to take Dinah with me." Li Xu shrugged, "Don't worry, Isha will stay in London with Anna, I told her that we have business matters to go to Switzerland." ”

Old Edward looked at him for a moment: "Well, call your lover to the study, I would like to talk to her alone." ”

Isabel? Adjani soon came to the study, still with a straight face and expressionless, in fact, when Li Xu brought her here before and introduced her father to her, she just said "hello" hard.

"First of all, I'm sorry to you, Miss Adjani." After sitting down, old Edward said very formally, and politely, "For his brutal methods." ”

"That's it?" Isabel was very unkind.

How could old Edward not know what she was thinking: "I will not interfere with the second, your affairs have to be resolved by you, after all, Anna is the child of the second, this is a fact." ”

"You're saying that the two don't help each other?" Isabel was silent for a moment, her blue eyes flashing with a hint of rebelliousness.

Old Edward smiled slightly, not admitting or denying it.

"I suddenly remembered a little story Edward told me," Isabel continued, "and he said that when you see one bullying another, you have only two positions. First, help the one who is being bullied; second, the one who helps the bully; thirdly, to leave as if nothing had happened; Fourth, condemn the violence and then say that both sides are at fault. ”

The beautiful eyes looked at old Edward without blinking: "The last three are all on the side of the bully." ”

"So?" Old Edward was unmoved.

"You people, can you not be so hypocritical?" Isabel said sarcastically.

"It seems to you this to be hypocrisy, to me, to us, it is etiquette, life cannot always go straight." Old Edward still didn't care at all.

"So, you're just watching me fight your son?" Isabel took a deep breath, "Even if we might all die together." ”

"I'm sorry, I don't really understand......" Old Edward finally frowned.

"Your son, little Edward? Lee, threaten me that if I refuse to be his mistress, he will do everything in his power against those close to me, and if I dare to threaten him with myself or Anna, he will move my parents, and—" Isabel gritted her teeth, "and didn't care if she would die with me. ”

Old Edward's eyes narrowed.

―――

"I'm going to Switzerland with my father in the afternoon, you and Anna stay here, and when it's over, I'll come back and take you to Japan to meet my mother." When Li Xu told Isabel this, he had been in London for two days.

In the past two days, Isabel didn't go anywhere, just stayed in the manor in the suburbs, except for teasing her daughter, just reading quietly, and there were all kinds of books in the study of the villa, enough for her to pass the time.

"I know." Isabel replied coldly, then looked at him and said no more.

Li Xu, who knew what she meant, shrugged his shoulders: "Didn't you talk to your family on the phone before?" They don't have to go to your house anymore. ”

“…… And what about "Infatuation"? Isabel asked in an unkind tone.

"I don't like Zuraski." Li Xu replied calmly.

"So what movies I take in the future, do you plan to interfere?" Isabel snorted heavily.

"I didn't ask you to say no to the Quartet, did I?" Li Xu spread out his hand.

"But you want me not to take off my clothes!" Isabel raised her voice.

"You're already the mother of the child." Li Xu's tone began to turn cold.

"Really? So what are you going to do with "Strange Tenant"? Isabel spoke with provocation and mockery,

"If necessary, I will buy all the movie copies and videotapes back and destroy them centrally," Li Xu said unceremoniously, "If it is still necessary, I will buy the film company." In addition to this, I am sure that Polanski will recognize the situation. ”

"Even if it's an artistic need?" Isabel looked up at him and gritted her teeth.

"There's no art, you have to take off your clothes to do it." Li Xu looked at her without giving in, "The ultimate goal of all art is to provoke the emotions of the audience and resonate with them, and undressing is undoubtedly ...... The simplest one. ”

Isabel's eyes widened suddenly, there was a faint look of anger under her blue eyes, she obviously understood that the word Li Xu wanted to say at the beginning was low-level.

"What a bastard, Edward!" If it weren't for the fact that there were other people outside and her daughter was next door, she would have really yelled, "Everything you said in Provence is a lie!" You're a liar! ”

"I love art, and I respect real artists, but that doesn't mean I identify with their way of doing things, their outlook on life, their worldview, and their values." Li Xu still had that cold tone, "Moreover, are you Isabel?" Adjani, not Adele? Hugo, and not Stella either! ”

Then before the other person retorted, he added, "I'm not in the mood to argue with you about this now, Isha!" I have time to discuss it later, but now I still think about how you will reply to me! ”

Isabel was immediately suffocated, speechless, and sat back in the chair with her already raised body.

"I'm leaving, take care of Anna and don't get angry with her." Li Xu said and walked out.

"Don't compare me to you!" Isabel finally called out, but all she could get was a slamming of the door.

With a bang, Isabel finally grabbed something and slammed it against the door, sweeping the rest off the table.

After venting like this, she calmed down, and then sat back in her chair, hanging her head in some frustration.

------

"You often argue like this?" After getting out of the manor in the stretch car, old Edward asked.

"No, in the time of Provence, never." Li Xu, who looked outside, took his gaze back, "We are always discussing topics of interest to each other, and we always feel that it is not enough." ”

He looked at him, "I remember telling you, Dad, that such an argument is just a strategy. ”

"Yes, I know." Old Edward nodded, "However, this is the beauty and shortcomings of encounters, and there is no entanglement of interests in accidental encounters, so that you can only focus on discovering each other's beauty." But once there are some conflicts, and they start to get along for a long time, the other party's shortcomings will continue to emerge and occupy your attention until those good things are completely driven away. ”

Li Xu couldn't help frowning, feeling that his father had become a little strange, and he liked to ask questions more than before. To be exact, since he talked to Isabel alone that day, he has paid a lot more attention to himself.

"So, you and your mom too?" Li Xu raised his eyebrows and asked.

"That's different, we didn't have feelings at the beginning, and we slowly got to know each other in continuous cooperation, which is two different situations from encounters, or even completely opposite." Old Edward explained it in a rare way.

"So what the hell are you guys doing now?" Li Xu asked curiously.

"How can this be said clearly," laughed old Edward, "even if economics can establish a detailed model in the future, and get rid of the title of hindsight, the changes in feelings between people will not necessarily be understood." ”

Li Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at his father, always feeling that something was wrong. But what is wrong with it, but I can't say, although I don't think it's because I saw my granddaughter, but it seems that there is only one explanation.

Forget it, ignore it for the time being, no matter what he's thinking now, as long as he doesn't stop, there will always be flaws in the future.

The car made its way to Kensington in Greater London, where it picked up Diana, who had been waiting for her, and then turned around and headed south again to Gatwick Airport, Heathrow, the second largest airport in Greater London, was so busy that it was a hassle to park a private jet there.

It then took me more than 1 hour to fly to Geneva, then got in the prepared vehicle and drove all the way to the small town of Morges.

There are three main things for Daddy to come to Europe, the first is to deal with the business here, and Hayes Holdings has invested a lot here, or how can Grandpa and Dad expand their British contacts.

Even if it is not yet the time for globalization, the economies of NATO countries are still very closely linked.

The second thing is to pave the way for that plan, that's right, it is the plan proposed by Li Xu, and then perfected by my father and grandfather, first pushing Morgan Stanley to annex Morgan Jianfu, and then in the near future, Morgan Stanley, which annexed Morgan Jianfu, merged with JP Morgan, and finally rebuilt the Morgan consortium.

They really planned to do this, and Li Xu had nothing to say, as long as Grandpa and Dad didn't get away with it.

As for the third thing, it was a completely private matter, and he was going to Morges to visit the Peace House.

Yes, Audrey? The Peace Residence of Lady Hepburn.
