Lan Li once described in his mind the situation of returning to London again.

It may be that he was dingy with his tail between his tails and did nothing in New York. His persistence and efforts were only in vain. After all, George and Elizabeth's predictions were correct; it may be the return of the stars with praise and great achievements in the actor career After the breakthrough, the crowd at the airport was blocked and announced his return with a shining appearance.

Of course, Lan Li is looking forward to the latter.

It's just that facts and imagination are always inconsistent. The time to return to London was much earlier than expected, and it was neither the former nor the latter. His career was only in its infancy. When the filming "Love Is Crazy" was first taken, Lan Li had considered this situation, but he nodded without hesitation and agreed.

He is not afraid to return to London. He has no dislike for the city itself. He just doesn't like the invisible shackles from the family, like a net of heaven and earth, which binds his words and deeds everywhere, from actions. To the mind, from the skin to the soul, there are even rules and regulations for every step, and any little bit of unusual behavior can attract criticism.

More importantly, these criticisms are just gossip and meaningful gazes behind them. When facing each other, everyone still has friendly and kind faces, but they are slowly alienated and silently confine the parties to a corner. This kind of unspeakable suffocation and depression, there is no way to vent-if you really vent it unscrupulously, everyone will look at all this with the eyes of neurosis, and will not step forward to dissuade or make comments. , Still calmed everything down with a silent trial.

This kind of pressure and scrutiny makes people almost breathless. There is no room for dreams of survival, no room for breathing freely, and even no room for one's own existence. Everyone seems to be bound to become an exquisite Barbie doll, with no soil for growth in personality and thought.

In the previous life, he had already experienced such a life; in this life, he should not repeat the same mistakes.

Returning to London, although he is not an accomplished actor, he has managed to take a solid step on the path of his dream. Perhaps this was just a trivial step, but for him, it was the happiest period in his life. He found himself and clenched his teeth to persevere. This was the greatest victory.

What's more, this time I returned to London for filming. For Lan Li, this is a sweet journey.

"How about it, are you still used to dinner?" Matthew walked downstairs side by side with Lan Li, and Haite was already standing next to the hanger at the door.

Lan Li smiled brightly at Haite, "Thank you, Haite, the dinner is very delicious."

Haite leaned his upper body slightly in response, then pulled off the windbreaker and put it on for Lan Li, and Matthew, who was standing next to him, confessed, "I'm going to Notting Hill. I will be back after get off work on Friday. When my father and mother asked, they said that I have a friend here, don't mention Lanli."

Lan Li chuckled slightly, "Wait until Friday, even if Haite doesn't say anything, everyone will know."

The two walked towards the door, and Matthew's cold voice continued to come, "Are you okay with your body now? The jet lag hasn't been reversed yet, right?" But without Renly's answer, Matthew reacted." You should have come to sleep all the way, right?" Sleeping is undoubtedly one of Lan Li's hobbies. He once fell asleep without eating or drinking for more than forty-eight hours, which made people strongly suspect that he had passed out.

Lan Li's laughter gave a positive answer.

"But even so, you will start work tomorrow? Isn't this a rush?" Heite opened the door, and Matthew's voice echoed in the street. In front of him was the tree-lined path of Green Park, with tall trees under the night. It seems to be a giant guarding the treasure, solemn and solemn, but with a touch of romance because of the fall of autumn-this is one of the favorite dating spots for young couples in London.

Matthew’s words were halfway through, and then they stopped abruptly. He and Lan Li couldn’t help but stop, and a jet black BMW four-door sedan was parked in front of them. The low-key appearance looked inconspicuous, but transparent. Through the glass, you can see the private custom-made wooden decoration inside, and the radiant lacquer surface brings the restrained elegance to the extreme.

A tall, tall, old and elegant figure stood in the doorway of the back seat with his hands in front of him. After seeing the incoming person, he opened the door of the back seat and bowed respectfully in greeting, "Master Lan Li , Welcome home." Then he turned slightly, and bowed towards Matthew to signal, "Master Matthew." Finally, he did not forget to nod to the sea behind.

At this time, the light rain had basically stopped, and there was still a little scattered rain, but it was no major problem. There was a chill in the air, and people couldn't help but shiver. It seems that there are two seasons completely different from Los Angeles.

"Philip, how do you know..." Matthew choked, his expression quite surprised.

Standing in front of him is the butler of the Hall family, Philip-Dunbar (Philip-Dunbar). Like Haite, the Denbar family is also the hereditary butler of the Hall family. Philip is already 60 years old this year and will take over this term. The housekeeper has been in the position for nearly forty years, and his time at Hall's house is even longer than George and Elizabeth.

Matthew turned his head and looked over, with an expression of reproach between his eyebrows. "Haite?" Although he didn't say much, the meaning couldn't be more obvious: Philip was able to capture Lan Li's whereabouts so quickly, surely. Haite leaked the secret, otherwise there would be no other explanation.

But Lan Li, who was the client, was very calm and patted Matthew on the arm. "It has been eight hours since I arrived in London. If Arthur has not received the news, this is a rare thing."

What's more, he is now the "laughing stock" of the upper class in London, and there must be a lot of eyes watching him secretly. Green Park is a base camp where nobles gather.

"Master Lan Li, you should have asked me to pick you up at the airport." Philip carried a trace of reproach on his face. "Today London suddenly cooled down and the air quality was not good. Make a call in advance and things are not that complicated."

Lan Li stepped forward and patted Philip's arm, showing a warm smile on his face.

In fact, he can be regarded as Philip's master. In aristocratic families, parents rarely raise their children directly, and even the expressions of family affection are very restrained and depressing. Generally speaking, the nanny is the mother and the housekeeper is the father. The family relationship maintained by blood is very weak. .

Therefore, Renly was very happy to see Philip. After a long time no see, Philip did not seem to have changed much, as he remembered.

The three-piece suit of white shirt and black suit, the dark gray check pattern of the black vest is the biggest exception. A white hair is neatly combed to make a two-eighth back, and his hands are wearing white gloves for going out. It seems that Philip should be driving here in person, instead of calling the driver.

Seeing that Philip's body is still healthy, Lan Li's smile relaxed a little, "In this way, Arthur does know that I am back."

"Master Arthur is also worried about you." Philip's answer is equivalent to admitting Lan Li's guess.

Knowing his return for the first time, he did not call or come to the door, but contacted him through the housekeeper. This is the family affection between the nobles.

"Then let him continue to worry." Lan Li teased with a chuckle. Without hesitation, he got into the back seat of the car and looked out, "Matthew, can't you get up?"

Matthew sighed lightly, did not say much, and then sat in the back seat of the car. Philip closed the car door and greeted Hai Feng, then walked around, opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat.

"Philip, go to Notting Hill." After Philip started the engine and the car slowly drove out, Lan Li said directly.

Philip glanced in the rearview mirror, "Master Lanly, the master and madam are still waiting for you at home."

"Today is Monday. Mother should be still on Piccadilly. There will be a small party in the gallery in the evening. She won't go home until eleven o'clock. Father, if I guess correctly, at the club? It's the weather. He always likes to sip brandy and smoke cigars with those old gentlemen to remember the glory of the year."

Lan Li said unhurriedly and unhurriedly. Although he hasn't gone home yet, he doesn't need to go home. These scenes are all predictable. They have been here in the past two decades. There is nothing surprising.

"Honestly, Arthur shouldn't have time to tell them the news?" Lan Li narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw Philip's silent expression in the rearview mirror, and he chuckled slightly~www.novelhall.com ~Arthur needs to wait for you to see me and confirm my situation before telling them that he is not such a reckless person. "

Last year, he rejected the "opportunity" of George and Elizabeth and completely cut off all contact with the family. Since then, there has actually been no contact from home, and meeting Edith was just an accident. But in fact, they are still paying close attention to his every move, not because of concern, but because of fear of losing face, they must grasp his whereabouts at all times.

If he returned to London in embarrassment like a falling dog, their first move would be to take him to a concealed apartment, and after he was reorganized, he would let others know that his ugliness would never be exposed; if he When they come back on the spot, they will stand idly by, at least in terms of appearance and etiquette.

Philip didn't speak, silence spread slowly in the carriage.

Lan Li showed a faint smile and guessed the answer, but he didn't feel any happiness in his heart. In the previous life, he won family affection and lost freedom; in this life, he gained freedom, maybe the price is family affection. People cannot be too greedy, can they?

"Notting Hill, Philip." Lanly said again. This time, Philip had no objection.
