Chapter 1351 Lively Gathering

Whether or not Aiden should go to the 'London Ladies' Ball,' doesn't seem to have much of a choice.

The responsibilities and titles he bears do not allow him to miss such an important social ball, which is the best bridge to maintain or build friendship with many European families.

On Thanksgiving Day, Li's apartment was much more lively than in previous years.

There will be more people coming this year than in previous years, such as Little Mary, Norma, Eric, Fia and her fiancé, and the old butler Hogg who is far away in Los Angeles. Everyone can feel that his deadline is coming soon, and there is no more time left for him.

In order to thank him for his dedication to Li, Li Zitao and Mary specially invited him to spend Thanksgiving together.

"Thank God for bringing us together to avoid disasters, diseases, and hardships. I hope we can meet again in the future, just like today..." All the people present were his own people, and Li Zitao's speech was also casual. Wherever they are mentioned, they are all very ordinary blessings.

Toasting to each other, everyone was discussing with each other what they had gained this year, and Eric was whispering to little Mary, and laughter came from time to time.

Fia and her fiancé Du Qi were also whispering and discussing something playfully.

Aiden took care of Hogg and recalled the past with him, the happy time when he and Mason were children.

This made Norma at the scene a little embarrassed. She who didn't appear here often seemed to have suddenly become an outsider and was excluded. But this is not caused by anyone deliberately, but by the actual situation. She is a big star in Hollywood, a glamorous and sexy girl on the screen, who either appears in magazines, newspapers, brochures, or in various interviews and screens every day.

But the work she was doing did not have any communication with everyone present.

Even Li Zitao didn't know what to talk to her about. He hadn't watched a movie for a long time, and when it came to the development of Hollywood, all he cared about was numbers and growth.

It doesn't matter to him what film he makes or what character he uses. What matters is earnings, development.

How many theaters do they have, how many films are they planning to prepare, what is the rate of return on investment, what is the film scheduling rate and influence, and which region or country the statuette's influence has expanded to.

The overseas export of the film, the recent development overseas, etc...

But if you ask him, what are the new movies in Hollywood recently, who are the hottest male and female stars, and how popular are they... completely confused.

Maybe a few years in the morning, when he was still hanging out with those female stars, he would know this information better.

"Norma, are you still doing condolence parades for the army?" In the end, it was Mary who found a suitable topic so that she wouldn't look embarrassed.

"If possible, I would like to use your influence to contribute to charity... Would you like to?"

Mary didn't find a topic randomly, but came prepared.

The influence that star power can bring is growing, especially among ordinary people, and Mary wants to combine it with charity.

If more people can listen and realize the protection of the environment, air, sanitation and other things that all human beings depend on for survival, then it will become more meaningful, and it will also give stars, another level of publicity as public figures. valuable meaning.

"I, of course I would agree... When will we start? Are we going to hold a fundraiser, or something else?" Norma said enthusiastically.

"Similarly, someone will arrange these. What we need to do is to tell people the facts so that they can clearly understand the real situation and make more correct choices." Mary indicated that she did not need to worry.

"Okay, but you must tell me in advance about the time." Norma was afraid of conflicting with her other activities.

"Of course... come, try this." Mary put a piece of grilled sturgeon on her plate, talking and laughing.

this family gathering,

Everyone had a few drinks with restraint, but they also consumed 4 bottles of wine.

That sounds like a lot, but it's not worth mentioning in Europe.

Like a normal dinner party, equal to the number of people at the scene, the amount of alcohol consumed will be 2 to 3 times, and this number will increase when encountering alcoholics.

After the dinner party, everyone gathered in the living room, curled up on the sofa, held coffee or tea in hand, and watched the only programs on TV together.

No one spoke, and everyone just enjoyed the warm and down-to-earth feeling of relying on each other and being in the same room.

Norma rested her head on Marie's shoulder, as she had done when she was a child, her eyes heavy from the act of intimacy, her mind too sleepy to pull herself together.

Until she completely leaned on Mary's shoulders and fell into a sweet dreamland.

From the smile at the corner of her mouth, it can be seen that she must have seen what she dreamed of, what she was looking forward to and longing for in her dream.

"She's asleep." Mary said softly, stroking her cheek.

"Dan, ask someone to take Miss Norma back to her room." Li Zitao snapped his fingers to Dan outside the door, looking at the sleeping Norma amusedly.

She looks like a child who has not grown up now, cute, innocent, pure and flawless.

"I'll do it!" Aiden said and stood up, leading her to the bedroom with a princess hug.

Mary felt a little unnatural suddenly, but Li Zitao didn't feel anything.

The relationship between them has always been simple, not as complicated as imagined or mixed with some special feelings.

So, after meeting Mary's gaze, he just shook his head lightly, signaling her not to be here at this time, no matter what she wanted to say.

Li Zitao was relieved to see her turn her head to talk to Fia, asking about the specific time and arrangement of their wedding.

Glad she didn't ruin the atmosphere today, it's Thanksgiving, the only day of the year when everyone can get together.

"The time is set for January, and we have already decided on the resort in Maui."

"Why not on Kauai."

"Duke and I still think that it would be better in Maui." Fia has his own reasons for doing so.

After a serious conversation with their fiancé, they decided it would be best to stay in Maui.

Because Kauai Island has a distinctive Lee logo, and because of this logo, both Fia and Duke think they should choose another place.

Therefore, they chose Maui as the location, which was the perfect place for Lawrence and Jonathan to hold their wedding. "Are you talking about the wedding?" Aiden, who had gone to see Norma off, came back and immediately joined the conversation.

His only theme was that he was going to be the best man at the wedding.
