Two days later, Angela and Natalie sent Xia Xia home to London with Buckett, while Pu Guanshui stayed in Paris to accompany Alizee. He would not wait until they were ready to return to the United States. Come meet them, it's all because of Alizee!
Before she rushed out that night, she hid in Pu Guanshui's room and refused to go out. Of course Pu Guanshui could not keep her in her room, and Nata, who finally learned about Alizee from Angela Li persuaded the girl to go back, but at that time Angela was no longer there, but lived alone in the newly opened room.
"Obviously, she felt cheated," Natalie, a psychologist who was half a bucket of water, explained to Angela, "I have always been a little puzzled, why she seems so quiet, but she is always a little distant. After listening to your description, I believe that those unfortunate encounters caused her autism!"
"Yes, I can't see it either, but I didn't intend to deceive her. As a public figure and a private trip, I have to try my best to keep a low profile..." Angela defended angrily and aggrieved.
"I know, we all know, but the problem is, for an autistic and sensitive girl, no matter how many legitimate reasons you have, you hurt her!" Natalie spread her hands helplessly, " To be honest, I can't understand the feeling, I've never had it and can only state it theoretically."
Angela covered her forehead with a wry smile and didn't speak. In fact, she could understand Alizee's feelings, because she had a similar experience. It was when "he" was surrounded by that kind of hopeless paranoia of persecution. I feel that everyone around me is trying to harm me by any means.
"Don't worry, her reaction is so strong, she should still like you very much." Natalie patted her shoulder comfortingly.
do not you know? How much you like a person, how much you hate her when you feel betrayed! The girl mumbled in her stomach, but didn't say it, and after saying goodnight to Natalie, she rested on the bed in the new room alone.
The next day, although Alizee returned to her original quiet appearance and did not show too much hostility towards Angela, her sense of distrust was very strong, and she did not even want to talk to the girl. It made Xia Xia, the whole cheerful little guy, feel that something was wrong, but she was very smart and didn't ask anything, which was to avoid embarrassment.
In this way, Angela was no longer in the mood to continue the tour, so she returned to London ahead of schedule after another day, but she wisely left Pu Guanshui and asked her to accompany Alizee well. Grandpa is in London. , nothing will happen.
However, the girl's luck was still not very good. As soon as she entered her grandfather's manor, she was greeted by the paparazzi outside. Fortunately, because she had already arrived home, she had already taken off the wig, although she was still wearing it. Contact lenses, but also wearing a pair of large sunglasses, so the appearance of black hair and black pupils has not been photographed, otherwise you will not want to use this look to show off in the future.
In fact, this is an accident. No matter how powerful the British paparazzi are, it is impossible to know Angela's destination. Besides, the girl has basically not exposed herself to the public, so the reporter's target should be someone else, but accidentally photographing Angela is enough for them to be excited, because the person they are waiting for is different from the girl. Never mind - His Royal Highness Duke Francis Albert. Yes, the unscrupulous uncle of a talented girl!
"They really pick the time!" Angela, who learned the news from the newspaper, gritted her teeth.
Because she was traveling, she basically didn't watch news or anything, especially entertainment news, so she didn't know anything about a major event in Hollywood before - a woman who is currently worth 20 million in a club. Celebrity, famous mouth-watering beauty Julia Roberts announces her engagement!
As for who to get engaged to... Needless to say? In short, this news is enough for all entertainment media to be crazy. You must know that although there have been frequent reports about Julia's mysterious boyfriend, no newspaper has ever had the exact information, let alone photos, etc., and Julia was asked about this When the question was asked, he always avoided answering, and now such a bombshell was thrown suddenly, the paparazzi naturally came out to feed like sharks smelling blood, and Angela unfortunately hit the muzzle.
"They stay outside all day, and I can't go anywhere, not even with makeup! Even if I'm a little closer to the door, those guys with retractable arms will hand over countless microphones to ask my opinion. Even if I don't have anything Answer, they can also write things in the newspapers, like what the Sun says here, I was worried about going to London to see my uncle who was engaged, and said I didn't expect you to be engaged! God, their imaginations are so rich Now!" Angela was able to calm down after complaining frantically into the microphone for a while, and then asked slowly and logically: "I remember you told me at the beginning that you were planning to wait for Julie's film appointment to finish before Thanksgiving. It was announced that they were engaged, but why did they arrive early for the summer vacation? My dear uncle, please give me a satisfactory answer, thank you!"
"Okay, honey, I do plan to wait until November to announce our engagement with Julie, but sometimes it's so accidental. You know, when you're traveling, Julie is still making movies in Europe, I just came back three weeks ago, and then I was still busy with commercial shooting. We didn't find a chance to get together until we finally finished the work a few days ago. I didn't expect a reporter to film the kiss on the balcony of the villa, if not Lawrence reminded me that I might not even notice, so after discussing it with Julie, I just announced the news of the engagement in the afternoon, otherwise the questions raised by the people outside the manor will be much more complicated. !" Frank exclaimed on the phone.
"Okay, you're always reasonable, so where are you now? You guys disappeared after you announced the news, and the media is trying to find your whereabouts, why don't I tell The Sun to take a bonus as compensation? "The girl said jokingly.
"Hey, honey, I didn't know you even asked for this money, it really surprised me, by the way, Julie is around to talk to you." Before Angela protested, Julia's voice It came from the microphone: "Hi, Angie!"
"Hello, Julie... Aunt!" This sentence made the girl almost bit her tongue, and at the same time, there was Julia's uncontrollable laughter: "I really want to hug you, Angie."
"Me too," Angela quickly returned to normal, and said with a laugh: "Just now my uncle refused to tell me where you were, can you tell me? You know that The Sun offered $500 to buy the Duke and ' Where's the Duchess' whereabouts!"
"Okay, I'll tell you, but I'll split half the prize money," Julia laughed briskly. "We're in Madagascar now, a nice vacation spot."
"Very good, I'll inform them right away, but do you want to receive a check or transfer money directly, aunt?" The girl who continued to joke suddenly moved slightly, followed by a smile on her face: "By the way, you still have a department in the second half of the year. A movie appointment?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"If you haven't agreed on a specific script, I can give you such a small gift!"
"Gift?" Julia was a little surprised at first, but Lenovo's previous sentence, she quickly understood, and immediately laughed lightly: "Well, I will tell Fabbs to tell him to the film company, then , what kind of surprise will you bring me this time, Angie?"
Of course there will be surprises, but the biggest one is on my uncle! After the call was over, Angela made up her mind that she would let him play that role no matter what, thinking of the role that the unscrupulous uncle was going to play, the girl couldn't help laughing wildly in her heart.
Although the paparazzi diligently guarded outside the manor, their influence on Angela was not too great. Anyway, she came to England mainly to see her grandfather, and she basically traveled all over the place in London.
It's a pity that Natalie is also trapped here, because "Little Ghosts and Thieves" has already started to be shown in the UK, plus she came into the manor with Angela, and she can't be noticed, so even if she wants to go out They were also questioned by reporters, so they didn't go out at all. Anyway, the old duke's manor was enough for them to walk around, ride on swings, etc. Although Natalie's bad equestrian skills were really laughed at by Angela - this is too much. Rare (Angela).
After another four or five days, Angela and her party said goodbye to her grandfather and prepared to leave London for New York, although some things were not done, such as introducing Natalie to Her Royal Highness The Princess - it's a pity that Diana went to Africa to participate in a charity event ; Instigated grandpa to give uncle some color, because it brought shame to the reputation of the Albert family - unfortunately, grandpa always listened very carefully, and discussed with Angela a few times what to do, and then turned his head and forgot!
But it doesn't matter. Anyway, this trip has turned into a mess at the back. It doesn't matter if you have any regrets. I'll talk about it next time, and even if I go back to China, it may not be easy. Being surrounded by reporters is impossible, which makes the girl unable to express her anger towards her unscrupulous uncle, who has not appeared until now, in front of Natalie.
"If my mother hadn't eloped with my father, I can imagine that my grandfather would have been dissatisfied with the marriage, and then asked someone to take my uncle back and copy 500 family lessons or something!" When they said this, the two girls were Strolling along the tree-lined path, the Gothic castle stands in its place, and people pass by from time to time, both in pairs, and alone, or rushing with books. On the road, there are also leisurely strolling like them.
"Really? Then let me think about it, if your mom hadn't eloped with your dad, then you wouldn't be there, and your uncle probably wouldn't have anything to do with Julia, so he probably wouldn't have fallen in love with him. If you are an American woman, then Mr. Albert won’t be taken back by Mr. Albert to smuggle her home!” Natalie cooperating with her in a serious manner, pointed her finger and said, “In short, if your mother didn’t run away with your father, just Without you, without you, there would be nothing like what we are today!"
"It looks... so it is." Angela suddenly became a little dazed, and Natalie couldn't help frowning. She reached out and shook her hand in front of her: "What are you thinking?"
"Ah? Oh, I'm thinking of Lily," the girl laughed at herself, "Ryan said, the little girl actually told him not to be my bodyguard because she didn't like me?! And he didn't like him even more. I block bullets, God, I don't know what's going on in her little head!"
"I don't know what's going on in your head right now!" Natalie said unceremoniously, "We were discussing your uncle, but you suddenly jumped to Lily. The way you think about things is so powerful. !"
"Okay, okay, let's go back to the topic just now." Angela quickly raised her hands. In this situation, she had better surrender as soon as possible, but after thinking about it, she asked shamelessly again. Said: "Where did we say?"
Natalie rolled her eyes: "If Mrs. Elena hadn't eloped with Mr. Jared, it would have been impossible for Mr. Albert to take Mr. Frank back and copy his family's instructions!"
Speaking of which, she couldn't help but ask: "Angie, if...if possible, can you tell me how Mrs. Elena eloped with Mr. Jared?!"
Looking at the other party's bright eyes, Angela had to sigh that gossip is indeed a woman's talent, even if she is as smart as Natalie, well, she actually wants to know, but no one is willing to tell her.
"Everyone seems to have been banned, and the answers I can get are all vague, that is to say, I only know that my mother had a falling out with my grandfather, and I followed my father to Luoshanfang, and then I didn't know it until I was born. Let’s get back together.” The girl spread her hands helplessly. To be honest, there are many things like this that I know but don’t know in detail. The most typical one is that my father and grandfather had a falling out, or my grandma and my uncle hardly ever communicated with each other. .
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Natalie knows what it means to stop. "So, have you copied the family motto of the Albert family, Angie?"
"This..." Angela scratched her head in embarrassment, as if it was hard to say.
"Didn't you say that your etiquette was trained by Mrs. Elena since you were a child? I think you should try this kind of punishment, right?" Enough is enough does not mean that the flame of gossip will be extinguished.
"Once, but..." the girl smiled wryly, "but I write on three pieces of paper with three pens in one hand, oh, God, I really don't want to remember, you know what's on each piece of paper The handwriting must be neat…”
Angela shook her head, as if she wanted to throw the image out of her head, and before Natalie continued to ask questions, she asked, "How do you feel about this place? Princeton has been voted the top in America for several years in a row. University!"
Yes, this place with an elegant environment and ancient buildings is one of the Ivy League schools in the United States, Princeton University, New Jersey, where Einstein once served as a professor!
Because I successfully avoided the entanglement of the reporters, and then also learned to wear makeup, Natalie and Angela were able to wander freely on the street for the time being. Under Angela's suggestion, the two visited nearby universities, Columbia University, New York University, Harvard University, etc. Princeton was not far from New York, so they stopped by the way.
"Not bad, but I always think it's too serious here, and it's too far from New York," Natalie shook her head after nodding, "I still choose Harvard, not Princeton!"
Still Harvard? Angela thought silently, the reason why she proposed to go to college was to see if Natalie would still choose Harvard, if so—
"Then let's make an agreement, Nat!" Angela said suddenly.
"What?" Natalie blinked, looking at her incomprehensibly.
"I graduated from high school in 1998, and then I will wait for you at Harvard!" The girl said seriously, if there was no reason to go to college before, now there is, "I am waiting to live with you!"
Natalie opened her mouth wide, and then showed a funny expression, as well as an imperceptible touch, and then said solemnly: "Really? You are so confident to go to Harvard?"
"I'll take the SAT in the second half of the year—it's valid for two years anyway—and then just spend some time on club activities and electives, or do you think I don't have that ability?" Angela curled her lips, "or do you think you don't have that? ability?"
"Really? Then wait and see!" Natalie snorted, a flash of pink flashed on her face, and she opened her mouth to continue to say something when Angela suddenly jumped forward and almost fell. He accidentally bumped into her as he passed by.
That's a very strange guy. Although the summer in Princeton is not very hot because of its location, the guy is still wearing a long long trench coat and a men's wide-brimmed hat from the 1960s and 1970s. His back is slightly bent. The neck, as if it was the man in Chekov's pen who put himself in a case, looks very weird! The most rude thing is that he clearly bumped into someone first, but he just turned his head to look, then muttered something that no one else could understand, then turned around and strode away without anyone else.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Angela yelled angrily, then patted her clothes.
"You should be honored, miss!" A tepid voice came from the side, the girl was stunned, and couldn't help but look at the other party. It was a very neat middle-aged man in casual clothes. He seemed calm and calm. Is the school professor.
"Honor?" Natalie asked first.
"Of course, not everyone will be hit by the 'Phantom of Princeton', and even glanced at it." The middle-aged man replied with a smile, slowly walking away, he obviously did not think that the two girls in front of him Can understand what he said.
The ghost of Princeton? The ghost of Princeton! After Angela repeated two sentences in her heart, she was startled and asked hurriedly, "Excuse me, sir, did you just say... that... that gentleman is 'Princeton's Ghost'?!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and then nodded: "Yes, every professor, every researcher, and every dean here knows him!"
"God!" Angela cried softly, and hurried to the place where the weirdo disappeared.
