Li Han shook his head secretly, for the British inheritance law, and for the lack of self-cultivation of this Cass. He glanced at Lydia, her face flushed with anger, and her big blue eyes were filled with tears, but she kept them from falling.
"Enough!" Li Han stepped forward and half-blocked Lydia behind him, "You are so ungraceful, sir, don't let me call the security guard, it would be rude." ”
"Call security?" Cass sneered, "You don't know where the yellow boy who got in is the one who should be thrown out, right?" Come here, Lydia, don't wait for this kid to be thrown out, and Count Reims will lose his face. ”
Lydia was so angry that her whole body trembled, but the lady's education she received since she was a child made her not to scold people, nor did she do anything to damage her image, so she could only tremble her lips and say, "You go away for me." ”
Li Han laughed angrily: "Lydia, didn't Count Lance check his identity when he was the original heir?" It can't be that your distant cousin is holding the wrong child, right? I don't think this guy looks like he has the aristocratic blood of the Lance family, he is so vulgar and rude, and he is worse than my middle class. ”
Lydia looked at Cass's face blue when she was cold by Li, and suddenly became less angry, and said with a smile: "Han, you are not a middle-class now, you are a rich man, have you forgotten?" You opened your own clinic and co-founded a company with the Hope Group. If the monthly income of tens of millions is still the middle class, then most people in Britain will go hungry. ”
Cass trembled and waved over to a waiter: "What do you security do?" How can you put this kind of person who doesn't have an invitation card in? ”
He didn't expect to really kick Li Han out, this was a royal party, how could anyone really sneak in. He said this just to show that he did not accept that this Chinese was a member of high society, which made Li Han lose face.
The conflict here has attracted the attention of other people, although it is not like the small people in the market hula to watch the excitement, while pretending to chat with friends while glancing at this side. At this glance, a few of them widened their eyes in surprise, and one of them came over and warmly shook Li Handi's hand and said, "Doctor Li, I haven't seen you for a long time, my knee hasn't hurt for several months, thank you very much." ”
"Hey, Ben, you also went to see Dr. Li?" The other glanced at his old friend in surprise, and also shook hands with Li Han warmly, "How many years have my shoulder hurt, you know, the sequelae of the shot, now it doesn't hurt at all, it's just that the medicine is a little hard to drink." He bared his teeth, apparently feeling unbearable at the thought of the smell of Chinese medicine.
Li Han smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's still good to suffer a little, isn't it?" ”
Ben laughed, "Luckily, my knees just need to soak my feet in medicine." He suddenly lowered his voice, "I see Prince William's head...... Is it your credit? ”
Li Han said with a smile: "Prince William is young and handsome, and he doesn't dare to take this credit." ”
Ben was stunned, laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "Bad guy, bad guy, don't you say that everyone in Huangguo is introverted and shy?" ”
Li Han squinted at him: "I've always heard that the British are old-fashioned and boring." ”
There are several people around them who have been treated by Li Han or have heard of his medical skills, and they got together and began to go from traditional Chinese medicine to Huangguo scenery to Li Han's British Vitality Biotechnology Co., Ltd. products...... They ignored Cass, consciously or unconsciously, as if they didn't see the man. In their eyes, Cass is just a dumb boy who comes to join in the fun with the sign of the heir to the title, and it will be almost the same when he inherits the title of Count of Reims. And judging from his cousin today, it is not certain whether the Count of Reims will change his heir.
Cass watched these nobles, wealthy businessmen or celebrities all talking and laughing with this yellow boy, but he, the heir of the earl, was ignored, he was angry and embarrassed, pulled the viscount closest to him, pointed at Li Han and said: "Such a doctor, I don't know how he got mixed with us, what do you care about him?" ”
The sound of talking and laughing stopped for a moment, and then a hint of embarrassment flashed across everyone's faces, and then they continued to laugh as if they hadn't heard anything, only dodging to glance at Cass from time to time. They were embarrassed by Cass, and Li Han continued to talk and laugh with everyone as if he hadn't seen anything.
The British are funny, they always have rules of various classes, and if someone breaks this rule, he will be excluded from this class, and those who watch this process of destruction will feel embarrassed, as if they were the ones who broke the rules.
And this kind of rule was used by Li Han, and all the people present were old foxes, and no one would know that he used this kind of rule. The skillful use of this rule will only make them more willing to accept Li Han, because it means that he has truly integrated into this class and is no longer an interloper.
Li Han glanced at Cass with pity, this poor boy did not know that he had been expelled from this circle, but he was afraid that his inheritance was already in jeopardy, and he was not the biological son of the Count of Reims, and he would let a person who was ostracized by high society inherit his title and marry his daughter.
Lydia certainly saw this, she had never had a crush on Cass, and she didn't understand why her father didn't find a more suitable heir. Although she was still at a loss when she saw that the other party had lost so much, she didn't know some sympathy, but she was also even more relieved for herself and her father. Her father's title did not need to be inherited by such an uneducated person, and she did not want to marry such a man.
She smiled at Li Han gratefully, and worked harder to help him get closer to everyone.
Only the viscount who was pulled by Kass was embarrassed, and it was difficult to break free from the arm he was holding, so he had to hint: "Dr. Li is a gentleman with excellent medical skills." "I'm already one of us, so there's nothing to be mixed with.
Cass didn't understand what he meant, and he had to say anything more, but fortunately, his female companion came back from touching up her makeup, and when she came over, she saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she pulled Cass away with a smile: "Cass, I just saw Kerr coming over there......"
Cass was forcibly pulled away, and the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief, putting aside the awkward chatting more and more in full swing. Time seems to pass in the blink of an eye, and it's time for the auction.
A waiter brought up a table, and the banquet hall was immediately transformed into an auction. However, although the venue is "shabby", the auctioneer is professional, according to Lydia, this is an auctioneer hired from the largest auction house in the United Kingdom, and she can often be seen at some high-end private auctions.
The first lot was a pair of men's sapphire cufflinks by Prince Charles, with a starting bid of £7,000. The thing is good, the prince's face has to be given, almost all the men present raised their cards at the first time, Li Han also took a look and quoted a price. In the end, the jewel cufflinks were sold by a wealthy merchant for 22,000 pounds.
Then there is a landscape painting, the artist is a small celebrity, with a starting price of £5,000. Although Li Han doesn't understand oil painting, this painting has beautiful scenery and bright colors, which makes people feel refreshed and moved when they look at it. It just so happened that 76 Whitfield Street needed some decorations after the renovation, and this painting was quite suitable for hanging in the study, so I decided to take a photograph of what I liked, and it was better to take a picture of something I liked than to shoot something casually.
As soon as the introduction ended, Li Han raised his hand: "Seven thousand pounds." ”
Basically, the people present have been educated by the aristocracy since childhood, and in terms of oil painting, they are at least ten streets where Li Han was born at the grassroots. Although this painting is not the work of a very famous painter, it has room for appreciation. In a few moments, the painting was called for twenty thousand pounds.
Although Liu Qingqing is a professor of Chinese painting, Li Han has not inherited many artistic cells, and spends thousands of pounds to buy a painting to hang on the wall, which is only because of charity, otherwise he will spend a few hundred at most. Seeing that there were a lot of people grabbing paintings, it seemed that there was still a sense of continuing to bid upwards, so he simply chose to give up.
"Don't come to this place if you don't have money, Grande." Cass didn't know when he squeezed to Li Han's side again, glanced at him with disdain, raised his hand and asked, "Thirty thousand pounds." ”
Li Han couldn't cry or laugh, he could see that this Cass was a second-class neurosis, and dealing with him would only reduce his style, so he didn't answer him at all and walked away directly.
Lydia's face was very ugly, although she felt very happy at first, but in the end, it was herself who felt ashamed, or the Lance family, how could her father choose such an unreliable heir?
Li Han patted her comfortingly and said, "Don't take it to heart, I believe that Lord Earl will solve it." ”
The third collection is a Chanel platinum diamond circle women's watch, which is exquisitely styled, and many of the ladies present let out a small exclamation, and Lydia also eagerly grabbed Li Han's hand.
"Do you like it?" Li Han raised his eyebrows in surprise, just as he was thinking about what gift to give Lydia, the help she gave and their friendship was worth this watch, this would be a very suitable gift.
The starting price was £8,000, and as the ladies were so popular, the price quickly rose to £18,000. Li Han raised his hand: "Twenty thousand." ”
"Twenty-five thousand!" The voice was loud and provocative.
Everyone turned their heads to see who was so two, and when they saw that it was Cass again, they turned their heads as if nothing had happened. Charity auctions like this, generally speaking, no one is so discordant, basically hello, hello, everyone, and the auction is completed in a friendly manner. After all, the main reason for coming to this auction is to give face to the princes, and secondly, to socialize.
Li Han raised his hand lazily: "Twenty-six thousand." After quoting the price, he deliberately turned his head and glanced at Cass.
In Cass's eyes, it was naturally provocative: "Thirty thousand." ”
"Thirty thousand." Li Han was always only a thousand higher than his offer, with a relaxed smile on his face, as if he didn't take Cass seriously.
