2251 A Different Kind of Charm

The Christmas private dinner in the Prince's Garden was attended by only 20 guests. This was the first official dinner after Renly Hall returned to London, but only the closest and most personal friends could attend, although in the name of Christmas, with family members Reunion is the best option; but who wouldn't want an invitation from Renly?

Unexpectedly but logically, director Christopher Nolan's family appeared in the Prince's Garden, and Emma Fielding, the manager of the Almeida Theater, also joined her husband as a guest of Renly. "The paparazzi may not be able to call out their names, but it is not difficult to find out the truth after investigation and inquiries. Those are all characters from hereditary nobles in London. Maybe they are not distinguished, but they have a good friendship with Renly.

Because Renly has been in Hollywood for a long time, people have forgotten that Renly's "hereditary aristocracy" is not only a name, but also a real network. In addition to the well-known Andre Hamilton and the famous Eaton Dormer, there are more and more friends scattered in all walks of life. The same thing is that they all grew up receiving elite education from childhood. They have more common language between them.

From charity auctions to Christmas dinners, Renly's return to London is being laid out in an orderly, step-by-step manner. At this time, people really realized that "the youngest son of the Hall family" was not incapable of returning to London, nor was he incapable of establishing himself in London. It was always just a personal choice; when he really made up his mind, even the deep-rooted Arthur Hall, seems to have become eclipsed.

The center of gravity of the Hall family has really changed.

This is a formal aristocratic private dinner, all specifications and etiquette are carried out in accordance with tradition, and the most striking of the dinner is undoubtedly the appearance of Rooney Mara.

The leader of the new generation of actors, appeared at the dinner party as Renly's female companion, and easily attracted all the attention.

It is conceivable that if the public gets such news, it will be very exciting and sensational, and it will definitely be the most important news of the year in 2014; however, the guests present are all people who cherish feathers, not to mention dealing with reporters, just There is no interest in spreading gossip in the circle, which also means that in a short period of time, this will still be a low-key secret. On the other hand, Renly and Rooney's generosity also proves their respect for the guests present. Trust, and that bond grows stronger.

As the focus of the audience, Rooney has successfully won many admiring glances with her elegance, wit and frankness, and her debut is perfect.

Rooney, who has always been low-key, has never concealed the meaning of her "Mara" surname, but because she has never attracted widespread attention, her family background has not caused much discussion; after her debut tonight, those It was only after the staggered gaze that he realized that this was also a famous queen.

Not to mention the others, not even Renly had ever seen Rooney like this, not even on Oscar night. Rooney is like a proud peacock, always stingy to show her charm, even in the eyes of Hollywood, she did not spend too much thought; until tonight, she finally showed her charm proudly , which is impressive.

"...the look in his eyes. The look in his eyes when he talks about the film and acting is, honestly, intoxicating; when he's standing in front of the camera and acting, that's his most charismatic moment. So, I have to admit , I took a little advantage and got in before anyone else noticed his charm."

When Arthur deliberately "made things difficult" for Rooney in front of everyone and asked Rooney what she liked most about Renly, Rooney answered calmly and humorously, and when the answer was over, she threw at Arthur again. Going to look, he asked with a smile, "I heard that the source of the rumors about Renly being the prankster king came from you. It seems that a lot of interesting things must have happened when you were young. I don't know if tonight,

Would you like to share some tidbits? "

The calm counterattack, the right "threat", successfully made Arthur passive, and he had to show a smile, Arthur almost choked:

really! Proving once again that Renly is a complete demon! Look, the one standing side by side with Renly isn't an angel at all, it's a completely different demon!

"Don't be like this, although everyone here knows that Renly is not a gentleman, let's not aim the gun at the master." Arthur managed to dodge the crisis with a joke, and could not help but secretly wipe the sweat in his heart, As a result, Rooney smiled and raised her glass to her.

Arthur really felt that he needed to be suppressed.

Rooney showed her own alternative charm, completely different from the cold and alienated appearance. It was indeed impressive, surprise and admiration, silently moving between eye contact.

However, the biggest blow to the front is Chris Evans. Even now, he still has no way to "have a good time" with Renly; for Chris, he can't tell the difference, and it is more surprising that Rooney Isn't it the most exciting news of the year in 2014 to appear in the Prince's Garden, or is it even more surprising that Rooney and Edith get along happily, the amount of information is a bit too large, and the memory in the brain begins to be insufficient.

This made Chris even more anxious.

In particular, Rooney walked around the audience with ease, exuding her own charm. It seemed that wherever she went, she could trigger laughter. The warm atmosphere of the Christmas dinner was flowing in the warm air; and Chris was still somewhat restrained. He wouldn't be so exaggerated if he said it was out of place, but there was still some room for him to unload his burden and integrate into it. The intertwined emotions of annoyance and envy, anxiety and anticipation continued to collide in his chest, and Chris began to control. Can't help himself reaching for the champagne right hand.

But at least, he hasn't started drinking whisky yet.

Later, Chris inadvertently stood with Renly, and by the time he realized it, it was too late to turn around. He could only bite the bullet and show a smile, raising his chin at Renly. , into awkward chat mode, "Rooney Mara? Really?"

Such a street answering mode, with a brotherly joke, was far from the atmosphere of the entire Christmas dinner, so Renly raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Chris with a meaningful expression, but he did not speak. , that look seems to be saying: So what?

Subconsciously, Chris's eyes began to drift to the side, covering up his embarrassment, but it didn't seem very good for the air to be silent like this, so he stared straight at the champagne tower not far away, Still joking, "The whole Hollywood has been deceived by you, I really never thought..."

There was a pause, silence, and then abruptly added, "Above Oscar at the time, you..." Then there was a pause, silence, and after realizing that he was spying on Renly's sex, everything seemed to be gossip inside and out. Neighbors are average, which made Chris feel the hands that have nowhere to put on the back of his head, "...I mean, I really didn't expect it at all, there was no clue before, you guys are really amazing...I Not that you are liars...you know what I mean..."

It doesn't seem right to say this, it doesn't seem right to say it that way, the last sentence is more like superfluous, Chris himself doesn't know where it came from, the words just fade out silently and automatically, can't find the full stop, stay at a strange place.

Chris looked away stiffly, picked up the champagne, and poured it into his mouth again, but after only two sips, he found that another glass was empty.

"Help!"

Fortunately, Renly didn't mean to embarrass Chris, and said with a smile, "This shows that we are all very good actors."

"Ah! Yes, yes, yes! Actors, excellent actors!" Chris found the steps and nodded in agreement, but he always felt that what was strange about this sentence was whether every actor was a liar, or was it a mockery Is his acting not good enough? Chris couldn't come to a conclusion for a while, and then... the words were cut off again, and there was no text.

Renly was content, but Chris was restless.

Recently, because of Edith, Chris himself has been thinking constantly, temporarily staying away from the attention and hustle and bustle of Hollywood, really calming himself down, trying to sort out those intricate thoughts, he knows that he must face it squarely Those questions, otherwise neither he nor Edith could see the future.

But what should he do?

Judging from his performance in front of Renly tonight, Chris still can't see the light of day. If it had been before, Chris might have gone to the bathroom and turned away; but he didn't want to.

"Renly, do you hate me?" Chris summoned the courage and boldly asked whether he himself didn't know whether the question was appropriate or not, but he didn't know a better way, so he could only choose Frontal breakthrough. He still wishes he could be honest.

Renly raised his eyebrows slightly, and those eyes seemed to be saying: What made you think so?

Chris knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he could only bite the bullet and continue, "You always seem to be targeting me, it's not that you mean it, it's just... you don't seem to like me."

"If I like you, Edith might be about to cry," Renly said solemnly.

Chris didn't understand at first, "Why do you like me, Edith has to..." He repeated it stupidly, and then noticed Renly's gaze, and then realized that Renly was joking "like", "Like" in that sense, but Chris couldn't laugh at all:

This assumption is too scary! That...that's Renly Hall!

"Renly...it's not funny." Chris was really frightened. "It's a very funny joke, but I'm not suitable for jokes right now. If I laugh, I suspect I might just spit it out."
