Kensington-Chelsea is an upscale residential area on the west side of London. It is adjacent to Hyde Park and Green Park. It has convenient transportation, beautiful scenery, and is far away from the lively tourist attractions in the city center. There are also private high-end tennis clubs and senior tennis clubs nearby. Top whisky clubs, etc., quiet and modern.

As a result, a large number of middle-class professional white-collar workers and senior freelancers, some famous artists and designers, as well as the young descendants of down-and-out nobles, gradually began to gather here, and then formed a young middle-class community.

Compared to the noisy and expensive, old and outdated neighborhood of Knightsbridge, Kensington-Chelsea has faintly replaced. However, it is more like a pure living community, with complete supporting facilities, but a strong atmosphere of life, without too much commercial atmosphere, so that people can calm down and integrate into life.

Leaving the main street and entering the residential area on the right hand side, the two-lane carriageway is not spacious or even narrow. Occasionally, there will be vehicles parked on the side of the road, and the car has to slow down to avoid accidents. From a distance, you can see the two-storey white building. The temporary parking spaces at the door are already full. The bright lights and melodious music revealed from the windows of the two-storey building slowly spread in the cold night. , All signs indicate that this is Lan Li's destination tonight.

In addition to Savile Street, haute couture clothing stores, or top private buyer stores, as well as niche designer stores, are now more popular and hidden in the city, arranged in ordinary residential areas. Only through word of mouth and introductions from friends can you find a way out. Otherwise, even if you are sitting on the golden mountain and silver mountain, it will still be more difficult to break into the private circle of the upper class.

Lan Li couldn't help but think of Melvin Brades, the first stylist he met after Lan Li and Andy confirmed their cooperation. Melvin's office was also chosen in a private residence, but the first encounter was not a pleasant memory. It just means that the current trend of this kind of private housing is spreading from Europe to North America.

"Master Lan Li, what time will I pick you up soon?" Philip sent the car tonight, one of the three drivers of Hall's family, Richard Martin. He is the youngest one, only thirty-five years old this year, and has inherited his father's job.

"Richard, go and enjoy Saturday night by yourself. I will find a car and go back." Lan Li said with a smile, as if he knew what Richard was going to say later, he added, "Can't find If it arrives, there will be a taxi. This is the 21st century, and life is not so difficult." He patted Richard on the shoulder, and then Lan Li pushed the door and got out of the car.

Richard looked at the back of Lan Li, who was about to leave. He hadn't even had time to unbuckle the seat belt, let alone get out of the car and open the door. In the end, he could only shout to Lan Li’s back, "The party is over. , Call me." Lan Li waved his hand casually and disappeared in the lush shade of the door.

Pushing open the door on the first floor, the door is unlocked, and the warm atmosphere in the room is blowing. Standing at the door is a woman about twenty-five or six years old, wearing a well-tailored lavender suit. The light blue shirt brightened his face, and his dark brown head was braided into fishbone braids, drooping down, with a little girlish playfulness in his maturity, but not too rude.

When the guests came, the woman took the initiative to greet her. When she saw Lan Li’s face, her expression could not help but pause for a moment. The "Welcome" to her lips unexpectedly stopped for a moment, and then the corners of Lan Li's mouth were outlined. The smile brought her back to her senses, and the words in her throat came out, "Welcome, Lord Lanly."

Lan Li didn't rush in, but raised his head and looked around briefly. This is a very ordinary residential house, with the kitchen on the left and the living room on the right.

However, at this time, the kitchen has become a lounge, and you can see that there are fruit plates and snacks in the center, and drinks are next to it; the living room has become a hospitality room, with gantry racks placed against the four corners, with various hangings on it. All kinds of clothes, the empty space in the center was completely cleared, and people gathered in twos and threes, holding a glass of champagne, and chatting in low voices.

Directly in front is an aisle, you can walk all the way to the end on the left side, there is a "toilet" sign, and on the right side is a wooden staircase leading to the second floor.

The entire space is dominated by beige and light blue, generous and warm, revealing a strong sense of home. It doesn't look like a clothes shop at all, but more like a designer's home creation space. This should be what Eaton hopes to achieve.

"You can first go to the left to find some food, then go to the right to enjoy the music and relax." The woman smiled and started the introduction. It has been repeated 20 or 30 times tonight, and it is already well cooked. "If you are interested," , You can go to the second floor, there is a private customized space, there are some designer works."

Lan Li gently closed his jaw, didn't say much, and walked towards the kitchen on the left.

The woman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly walked through the crowd: Where is Eaton? More importantly, where are George Hall and Elizabeth Hall now? God, the time for Mars to hit the earth is finally coming. What should I do now? How to do?

Lan Li didn't have to look back to know that the receptionist had already asked for help. It was 8:18, and both George and Elizabeth were on the scene. Believe that it only takes three minutes, everyone in the whole room will spread the news, waiting to watch the good show. Of course, besides this, there may be other gossips worth discussing, but Lan Li has been absent from the London social circle for two years, and it is difficult to keep up with everyone's gossip.

"Jesus Christ." Before the champagne in Lanly's hand had time to slip off the first drop of water, a voice suppressed excitement came from behind him. Without looking back, Lanly knew who came. Besides Edith, who else would be so excited?

Turning around, Lan Li saw Edith’s excited eyes, "Calm down. This is London. You don’t want anyone to see you like you." Lan Li smiled and persuaded him, but let him Edith rolled her eyes secretly, big eyes.

In the UK, Edith is still the official photographer of the United Nations, and the second daughter of the Hall family who devoted herself to charity. Just look at Edith’s dress today. A white suit with a black shirt is very handsome, even handsome, but there is no eye shadow, no black nail polish, and no Los Angeles time. With her unruly and arrogant, she knew at a glance that she was hiding behind this mask, playing the role of the second daughter of the Hall family wisely and sensibly.

However, today Edith didn't plan to quarrel with Lan Li, but raised her eyebrows, "Did you deliberately?" Deliberately chose this time to appear and meet George and Elizabeth.

Lan Li is noncommittal.

But it was this simple expression that made Edith's eyebrows happy, her eyes full of schadenfreude did not conceal it, and she almost cheered for Lan Li with gongs and drums.

"Lan Li?" Eaton’s voice came from behind. Edith didn’t say much, she just blinked her right eye, and then returned to her usual demeanor, waiting for Eaton’s arrival. Turned around and left. Lan Li knew that Edith must have been looking for the "audience seat".

Eaton was a simple-minded man. He walked up with a smile and gave Lan Li a big hug, "Just now they told me that you showed up, and I can hardly believe it. Haven't you been very busy at work lately? When chatting with Matthew this time, he mentioned your latest move."

"To be honest, I only spared thirty minutes today." Lan Li joked solemnly.

But Eaton took it seriously, "Five minutes is enough." Eaton looked around, "George and Elizabeth are on the second floor now, do you need me to take you up?"

"It's not a guest, no introduction is needed." Lan Li said lightly, "Are there any special guests I need to introduce? I haven't been in contact for two years. It seems that a lot of strange faces have been added."

"This is London~www.novelhall.com~ Eaton laughed, "It is still the old faces that are worth knowing; as for the strange faces that have not been seen, it means that there is no value in making friends. "The straightforward explanation is: strangers, they are all upstarts, with unstable foundations, or upstarts. For business, they are a market worth opening; but for actors like Lan Li, they really haven't met. Necessary.

Having said that, Eaton is not a mean person, just ridiculing, "However, there is someone you definitely want to know." Eaton left the kitchen with Lan Li and walked into the hall.

The sights that quietly looked at Lan Li one after another fell on Lan Li's body, exploring, examining, and observing, just a glance, which contains indescribable weight. Lan Li did not evade, but took the initiative to take the champagne and greeted the first sight, "Nicholas, will you participate in this hunt? It has been raining recently, and the difficulty of hunting is bound to increase, but Henry I like hunting on rainy days the most."

Two years later, the youngest son of the Hall family reappeared in the upper-class social circle of London, where rumors and rumors attracted much attention. But Lan Li didn't panic at all, took it easy, and handled it with ease.

Conversation, this is tricky. Did not inquire about the current situation, did not fill in the blanks, did not recall the past, but inquired about a relatively neutral topic. It's like Elf's antique collection, and it's like hunting this winter. Nicholas and Henry Dunlop are the same people who like to hunt.

Time can change many things, but the life of aristocrats is boring and their hobbies will not change drastically. Even if Nicholas doesn't like hunting anymore, hunting in winter is still a hot topic. Quietly, the gap in time disappeared.
