Suddenly, blessed to the soul, reflexively, Ned turned his head and cast his gaze beyond the crack of the door.

In the dim halo, Lan Li's tall and straight back obscured most of his vision, and could only capture a few vague silhouettes. The graceful and imposing dinner dress was looming in the out of sight; Without the faces of visitors, you can still outline their special and grandeur from the fragmented details.

However, before Ned had time to investigate further, the sound of laughter in his ear interrupted his spying.

The heart jumped abruptly, and he panicked inexplicably. Ned quickly retracted his gaze and looked at Tom and Joe again. In his mind, he kept looking back at the blurry fragmented picture, and his curiosity was fading little by little. Winding around, the whole person seemed a little unsettled.

Fortunately, the group of young actors in front of them can complete the interview spontaneously, and they do not need Ned's guidance at all. Otherwise, he will show his feet. But who are Renly’s visitors?

"Heh." Lan Li chuckled, the mocking and bantering emotions were barely concealed, and then raised his eyebrows lightly, "At least, they attended today's premiere, so I think, supporters, this is the same. A way of saying."

Elf did not answer Lan Li. Instead, he looked at Emma and closed his jaw politely. "Ms. Fielding, can you give us some space? Thank you."

No reason was given, nor too much modification, but the gentle smile and gentle eyes revealed a majesty that could not be denied.

As the manager of the Almeida Theater, Emma is experienced and experienced. She knows the aristocracy and the domineering aristocracy; she may not care or buy it, but it can avoid unnecessary conflicts. It couldn't be better.

Therefore, Emma did not answer directly, but turned to look at Lan Li. After getting the affirmative answer, she replied, "Of course, there is no question." Then, Emma added another sentence, half joking. Said, "The dinner time is about to begin. The audience does not want to miss the second half of the performance, and the actors do not want to be on the stage unprepared. So, don't forget the time when talking."

In unison, the three of them all smiled politely, nodded towards Emma, ​​and then withdrew their gazes.

With the neat etiquette and similar look, Emma was a bit creepy; she turned around and left slowly with her arms full of question marks.

Emma is just a small theater manager, not a big man, let alone a nobleman, but in her daily work, contact with these elites of the upper class is the most important part of her responsibilities.

Regarding the rumors of Renly-Hall, Emma said that she had never heard of it. It was absolutely impossible. However, those rumors have never been truly confirmed, because the real nobles, they will not disclose any information to Emma-Emma is an outsider, and has no qualifications to listen to the gossip in the circle.

Emma hasn't taken it too seriously all the time. After trying Lan Li once, the other party was completely dripping, and Emma consciously chose to shut up. But from today’s situation, the rumors are not groundless--

Lanly Hall, Arthur Hall, Elf Hall, all three of them have the same surname. It seems, may, probably, maybe, should, not a coincidence.

Emma doesn't know Elf, but she does know Arthur.

That is the top-ranked existence in the upper circles of London. Even in front of the royal family, social public relations are easy and not inferior; Arthur is an aristocrat, with a family background and a noble title, and he has a lot of money in the fields of finance and art. This is also the foundation of his foothold in the upper class of London.

Renly and Arthur? If their last name is the same Hall...

Emma couldn't help but took a breath, then closed her mouth tightly. Pretending that today’s meeting never happened, pretending that Andre Hamilton, Eaton Dormer, and Matthew Dunlop, the emerging aristocrats, came only for theatrical purpose. Pretending that the surname of "Hall" is meaningless. Pretending to be just now The guesswork never happened.

The first priority in opening up the upper class is to understand what gossip can be spread and what is not.

Emma's steps began to speed up, and she quickly left the corridor, all curiosity was completely extinguished. She didn't want to hear any words.

Emma's departure quieted the air in the corridor. Lan Li didn't speak, Elf didn't speak, Arthur stood by and tried to hide his figure, pretending that he didn't exist, let alone speaking.

Silent breath was surging quietly.

If it is normal, Elf will take the initiative to speak; because a lady’s etiquette teaches her, even in the face of enemies and enemies, she does not allow such disrespect and embarrassment. Therefore, Elf will speak, break the silence, treat the guests with courtesy and deal with the current situation. However, today is not "usual".

"It seems that you have found a drama worth watching again." Lan Li said actively.

At the beginning of the chapter headless, Arthur faintly caught some clues, but he didn't know why; but Elf understood.

The year before last, when Renly returned to London to film "Love Is Crazy", Elf and Renly met. She asked Renly to recommend some dramas that are worth watching in the West End, but at the time, Renly said that he had nothing to recommend. . Time flies, and now they meet again, but in the West End.

Such a scene is like a reincarnation.

However, Elf’s surface was calm, “It’s 2012, and we can’t ask for more.” The subtext is that the Almeida theater version of “Les Miserables” is still not an ideal choice, “But, I listen. Said that the Trafalgar Theatre (Trafalgar-) is rehearsing a pioneering drama, which is very worth looking forward to."

The Trafalgar Theatre is a small theatre on the outskirts of London's West End. It is extremely crowded. The actors and audiences are almost close at hand to complete their performances; however, some bold and innovative avant-garde plays are repeatedly staged.

"'Witch'?" Lan Li captured the information in an instant, "Yes, I heard that it was a very worth looking forward to. If I have time later, I'm going to go and watch it."

"Have you started watching dramas again? I thought that American life is not popular. Broadway is now completely occupied by tourists, much worse than London's West End." Elf also started to communicate seriously.

"God!" Standing next to him, Arthur couldn't help it anymore, and patted his head in annoyance, "Jesus Christ, can't you see the elephant in the room?"

They are now at the Almeida Theatre. They have just watched the performance of Lanly on stage. They are here tonight as representatives of the Hall family. They have now become the focus of discussion in the upper class of London...but However, Lanly and Elf are discussing a pioneering drama, as if the "Les Miserables" has never happened before.

Even more ridiculous is that Lanly is now wearing a costume. However, they are still hiding their ears and stealing the bell, still ignoring the elephant in the room. This is a black absurd comedy.

Elf’s expression was unmoved, while Lan Li chuckled lightly and raised his head to look at Arthur, “Why, do you want to see that elephant? Or, do you dare to see that? An elephant?"

Today's situation can't be clearer. George and Elizabeth chose to be absent, to escape, and to ignore, just like ostriches. Even though Renly is in London, even though Renly is in the West End rehearsal, even though "Les Miserables" is being staged, they still pretend that nothing has happened, and that Renly never existed.

This is absurd, this is ridiculous; but it is also true.

The elephant in the room does not exist for some people.

Facing Lan Li’s understatement but a sharp and piercing retort, Arthur opened his mouth, but all the words were swallowed in his throat. He couldn't make a sound. He sighed depressedly, "Damn it, Edith. Why doesn't the guy come back!"

He hated this situation, it was like a deadlock, Lanly refused to give in, George and the others refused to compromise, and then the two sides were in a stalemate, and both sides were hurt.

But in fact, for many noble families, this is normal. The father lives the life of the father, the mother lives the life of the mother, and the child lives the life of the child. There is no bond or connection between each other. It's just a group of strangers held together by blood.

Deep down, Arthur admired Lan Li, and at the same time envied Lan Li. He finally understood now why Edith was always leaving.

"Elf, do you remember? When you were a child, you told me that elephants are accustomed to tolerating animals, and they always bear everything silently; but you didn't tell me that one day, if the elephant gets angry, it will How is it?" Lan Li looked at Elf with a smile, and said seriously.

The elephant in the room ~ www.novelhall.com ~ everyone can see it, it is so large, so strong, so threatening, but it is so gentle and so silent. Everyone pretends to be invisible and avoids talking. Over time, people become accustomed to its existence and take everything for granted. Until one day, the elephant became angry.

Elf met Lan Li's gaze. Those dark brown eyes were so calm, sparkling, and glowing with agile light. They were confident and calm, sincere and elegant, and their upright, open and open eyes, brave. But persistently projected it over; unconsciously, it made Elf a little embarrassed.

She lifted her chin slightly, condensed her gaze, and met those eyes without avoiding it; but after all, she could not speak, let alone refute.

Suddenly, the arc of Lan Li’s mouth rose slightly, as if he could smell Elf’s inner struggle and hesitation, and never seemed to care about it, "Thank you for your visit. But, I must go back now, you know. , There is still busy work to be done next. Give me my sincere greetings to George and Elizabeth."

Turning around, Lan Li was about to leave, but remembered something, and turned around again and said, "Also, tell Philip, I hope he enjoys it."
