2087 I go my own way
“Renly." Matthew's voice sounded in his ears. Renly cast a questioning look. Matthew continued, "I need to breathe some fresh air..”
fresh air？
After being stunned for a moment, Renly immediately reacted and smiled at Matthew, "I'm fine..”
Breathing fresh air is just an excuse, Matthew is still worried about Renly after all: although Renly's performance is perfect, there is no flaw; although he just kept complaining about Renly, Renly can handle it easily; although the family ties of the noble family They were originally indifferent, and they were independent... But Renly was different after all. He cared, and that emotional bond was before and is now. However, his caring has become a constant weakness for George and Elizabeth. Those The bloody wound made him numb and cold-blooded.
“I need a cigarette." Matthew didn't explain, just insisted..
This time, Renly didn't take no for an answer..
Renly and Matthew came to the small garden outside the building. Matthew handed a cigarette to Renly. Renly hesitated for a moment and took it. Then, Matthew lit a cigarette himself and gave Lanly a lighter. With a gesture of courtesy, Renly shook his head and refused, without lighting it..
Renly held the cigarette in his mouth and chewed the holder gently..
Matthew didn't speak either, smoke lingered at his fingertips.
The two people stood quietly under the eaves, looking up at the sky above their heads, carefully capturing the green, gray, black, blue... the noise and excitement of London's West End within their field of vision. The noise was looming in the air, but it blocked all sights and sounds in social situations. Then, the world became quiet, and it seemed that the trivial sounds of the air could be caught..
After calming down, Renly realized that there was still a slight turmoil deep in his heart. It was not obvious, but it was there - he was still a mortal after all..
“I was planning to invite them to attend.”
Renly spoke, but Matthew didn't answer, just letting Renly continue..
“I hope they will appear at the auction, and then humiliate and torture them through social confrontations, tell everyone with practical actions that I have nothing to do with them anymore, and let them completely lose all face. There is no such thing in London. Way to stay.”
After a short pause, Renly allowed the air to flow slowly, and the tight shoulders were relaxing..
“But I finally gave up because it was too childish. It was like rolling around on the street to embarrass my parents, just because they refused to buy me lollipops, and then trying to make them compromise in this way. Let them realize that they were wrong. But they inadvertently exposed their care - firmly grasping the handle, venting their anger unbridled, proving that they are the winners and they are the losers, but why not Showing your wounds?？”
Long, long, Renly breathed out, "I don't want those entanglements anymore. I don't want to embarrass myself..”
Hatred is really too tiring. He doesn't want hatred or revenge. He just wants to cut through the mess quickly and draw a clear line and become a complete stranger..
“Phillip won't like it." Matthew said solemnly. People who really care about Renly only want him to be happy, not want him to avenge himself - that's the case with Phillip.
Renly chuckled, his expression a little shy, and seemed a little uncomfortable because Matthew said something that was on his mind, so he asked, "What about you? Would you suggest that I use legal weapons to attack? Wait a minute. , or, from a legal perspective, tit-for-tat has never been an advocated approach.？”
“No, we advocate using legal means to fight back, not tit for tat, but revenge." Matthew also answered seriously, "Also, I am more accustomed to you as an actor, please don't return to their side, otherwise , I can only abandon you as a friend. Thank you.”
“Ha." Renly couldn't hold it back and laughed directly, "Don't worry, you probably won't be able to get rid of me in this life." After saying that, Renly deliberately raised his eyebrows at Matthew and made a provocative look.
Matthew rolled his eyes speechlessly, took a step to the side with disgust, and distanced himself, "Please...please don't learn from Andre, okay? It's too greasy. We don't need a second An Andre.”
Renly couldn't help but smile even more joyfully..
“Hey, you guys here? "The glass door of the courtyard was pushed open, and Andre Hamilton's head came out, accompanied by Eton Dormer..
Renly and Matthew exchanged glances, and the smiles in their eyes began to surge..
Andre didn't know why, "What's wrong?？”
“We were talking bad about you, and then we were caught red-handed," Renly said candidly..
Andre's head was full of black lines, "Can I curse?？”
“Requesting approval." Matthew responded.
Andre gave way and pushed Eaton out, "Be careful, I'm going to let Eaton go.".”
“Hey! Andre! "Eaton raised his hands to express surrender, and then expressed his dissatisfaction strongly to Andre, "Don't you know? I'm also on Renly's side. You may have to fight alone..”
“Who can tell me how we got entangled in each other after I finally managed to get rid of you? Is it too late for me to regret now? "Andre complained seriously..
It was Matthew who brought the topic back on track, "Eton, has it started inside?？”
“Oh, yes! We have started to take our seats now, but..." Eaton's eyes fell on Renly, and he paused slightly, his eyes looking somewhat meaningful..
In the end, Andre couldn't wait to break the story, "Princess Beatrice is here.".”
All eyes were on Renly..
Although she is a princess, her financial resources are not abundant and she needs to work on her own to support her daily life. She also comes to support such charity auctions, just like a mascot, adding luster to the organizer—— But who wants to be treated like a mascot? Therefore, members of the royal family rarely appear on such occasions. Inviting them as guests is definitely an extremely difficult thing to do..
Now, Beatrice is attending in person. Obviously, the only reason is Renly.
Renly, who had become the center of attention, showed a calm smile again, "We are friends. Moreover, she is willing to show up for charity. Isn't this a natural thing? Please don't look at me with that strange look, I believe that people of the opposite sex can also have pure friendship.”
“Ha. Ha. Very funny." Andre was obviously not convinced, and then made a gesture of shutting up, "Don't worry, we won't tell Rooney these small details..”
“I don't mind if you plan to tell her." Renly, however, had a calm face - originally, Rooney had been prepared to attend the auction. This would be her first social appearance in London, and it would also be her first time. Appearing in front of the Hall family, Rooney was a little nervous but mostly looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the filming of "Carol" was not over yet, and she had no way to leave. In the end, she could only regretfully miss the auction..
After the filming of "Carol" ends, Rooney will come to London, but not to meet Renly, but to film another work, "Peter Pan: Fantasy Begins"”.
This work, invested and produced by Warner Bros., was the work that Rooney was auditioning for when Paul was in a car accident at the beginning of the year. It was adapted from the original fairy tale "Peter Pan" - and in the end, she got the role..
Director Joe Wright, who has filmed "Pride and Prejudice" and "Atonement" will direct; the cast includes Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried (Amanda- Seyfried), Garnett Holland and others, the investment cost is as high as 150 million.
This is the second time Rooney has appeared in a large-scale investment film, but the previous "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" cannot be regarded as a commercial film. "Peter Pan: Fantasy Begins" has become Rooney's first commercial work in the true sense. This also made Rooney a little nervous, and it was inevitable that she would worry about gains and losses..
Rooney will stop in London for a day or two before heading to Warner Bros.' filming facility in Livingston..
Renly's generosity made Andre choke and waved his hand, "It's so boring. It seems that your sense of humor has been driven away by George and Elizabeth today..”
“Andre! "Eaton's eyes widened and he gave Andre a fierce look - this is really a pot that he doesn't open and lift.！
But Renly didn't mind and laughed, "That's why I came out specifically to recharge my batteries." Renly raised the unlit cigarette in his hand and gestured towards Andre..
Matthew interrupted their conversation, "Aren't you ready to enter?？”
Eaton repeatedly expressed his agreement, pushed Andre out, and asked Renly and Matthew to follow, and then they returned to the indoor environment of the Garrick Club..
Before leaving, Renly left the cigarette in his hand in the wastebasket at the entrance of the courtyard, as if he had left the last trace of confusion in his heart in this building, and then followed without hesitation or pause. Went up, and after a short rest, we regained our usual calmness..
At this time, there was not much time left before the official start of the auction. The guests had basically arrived, but they had not yet fully sat down and were chatting in low voices..
When Renly appeared on the stage, everyone's eyes naturally focused on him, and he didn't have any stage fright. He easily started a simple greeting and conversation with every guest present. His perfect demeanor of an elegant gentleman without losing humor, even if it was just a simple greeting. It can also make people feel like a spring breeze, leaving a deep impression in everyone's mind. The images that were once captured through rumors are now gradually becoming clearer..
Every guest present is an important person with reputation and ability from all walks of life. Maybe Renly does not need to please them, but he still needs to be cautious and appropriate in the conversation, at least there is no need to become an enemy, which also makes Renly's attention high. Focused, every word and every expression is guaranteed to be perfect, and the foundation of many years of aristocratic education is presented without reservation - even Renly cannot take it lightly..
Then, from a distance, Renly could see Beatrice waiting with a smile on her face. She did not step forward rashly, but never looked away. It was obvious that she came specifically for Renly, which made her Renly took the initiative to say sorry, and then walked towards Beatrice..
