The Renly in front of me is so unfamiliar:
Peaceful but cold, indifferent but alienated, elegant but arrogant, a arrogance burst out from his bones, invisible like a wall, pushing and pressing them, the ubiquitous strong pressure makes them Almost out of breath, I couldn't help but get anxious.
This isn't the first time George and Elizabeth have confronted Renly, but neither has it been at Eaton Dormer's private party or that of the Earl of Oxford, and Renly has never displayed such a face, the indifference that radiates from the inside out. And calm, it seems that all connections have been completely cut off.
Love and hatred are a pair of antonyms, like two sides of a coin. No matter how passionately you love, you will hate how fiercely, but only true indifference is a stranger who stands on the opposite side of love and hatred. All love and hatred All have disappeared, so I can face everything in cold blood and cruelty.
That invulnerable indifference hurt George and Elizabeth severely. They were even at a loss. It seemed that all means were completely ineffective, and all the expected situations did not occur. Then they were like fools, bathed in the calmness of Renly. in sight.
George faintly sensed Matthew's eyes, mixed with ridicule and contempt, which stung his self-esteem, and he couldn't hold back after all.
"You know what I mean, and I'll tell you one last time: we're here for a charity auction, don't challenge our bottom line."
Renly thought it was a little funny, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, which made George even more annoyed, "Do you think this is a joke?"
Renly didn't answer right away, his smile grew brighter, and he said calmly, "I thought you had already issued an ultimatum that summer five years ago, but I didn't expect that I would have a second chance."
five years ago? Ultimatum
George didn't remember at all, and Elizabeth only had a vague impression, but Matthew remembered it very clearly, "Is that the phone call you made the day you auditioned for 'War in the Pacific'?"
Ren Li's eyebrows rose slightly, his eyes filled with a smile, "Oh? Did I tell you?"
"It was mentioned once," Matthew said lightly. "That day was the .asxs. of your career, wasn't it?"
"Ha, I wouldn't say that, but it's true in the literal sense." Renly's tone remained light throughout, and then he looked back at George and Elizabeth, the gentleman's smile was always the same, "I guess, you should Can not remember."
"However, this is normal, life is always like this, the superiors can't remember the details of the orders, because those turning points that affect the life of ordinary people may be just an ordinary moment in the daily life of the superiors, or maybe one of their orders So many people can be hurt that they can't remember at all. Only ordinary people can remember every moment as if they were victims—even though they refuse to admit that they are victims."
Renly has always expressed his views in a calm manner, with some teasing and banter in his words, and his whole person has been completely relieved.
Matthew, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer, and couldn't help but complain, "I pretended to go around such a big circle just to pretend I wasn't a victim?"
This made Renly chuckle directly, "I used to be, but I am not now. Unfortunately, I am about to become the perpetrator, so please allow me to decorate myself with beautiful words, I am not the one I used to be after all. A guy at the mercy of others, isn't he?"
Matthew rolled his eyes and said with his eyes: You are never a guy at the mercy of others, okay
Renly pretended not to see, and turned to look at George and Elizabeth. "Sorry, please forgive my rudeness. I'm a little carried away with my attitude, and I'm really sorry."
Renly also seemed to think that George and Elizabeth were not ashamed enough, and used this appropriate way of advancing and retreating to show that they were the superiors—
The real superiors will not care about those trivial gains and losses, but can accept all possibilities with a broad mind, and even show their tolerance in an informal manner. This attitude, which bloomed from the inside out, immediately caused a clear gap between the positions of the two sides.
This is the real Renly!
Against Harvey Weinstein, against Chris Evans, against Vin Diesel, against Thomas Tour... Renly never really showed his attacking power, that kind of aura. The full-open momentum can be easily crushed, no swear words or fists are required, and it can be shattered with every gesture, even George and Elizabeth can't stop it.
What kind of beast did they raise? What kind of monster did they provoke
"Where did we just talk about it? Oh, yes, the ultimatum." Renly nodded with a smile, "I think you need an exact answer, too, just like I did, if I didn't make it clear, I always would. Holding a glimmer of hope, expecting that the family will always be able to maintain the fetters, but obviously, we were all wrong."
"My ultimatum has been given to you through Philip's resignation, and that's the last time. You hurt Philip, it's never going to go away, and I'll never forget it, remember? I'm a stubborn one. To the somewhat paranoid guy, things are always a little troublesome."
Renly pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, and made a cruel decision in a relaxed tone, which revealed his cold-blooded more and more—or in the words of aristocrats: mature, put aside family ties, and make the right decisions rationally Choose, give up those unnecessary entanglements and hesitations.
"That's the way it is now, either it's up to today and everything's here, then I can pretend nothing happened; or... let's see who's the winner at the end, I'm more than happy to fight. I'm ready."
A straightforward translation is:
If they keep their own things, then Renly will not kill them all, even if they try to use Renly's fame to continue to expand their careers, that is their ability, because this is family, "Hall" is always a Hall, and wants to get rid of it completely This relationship requires too much effort - hatred, more terrible than any poison, this is not the way Renly likes to live, he still has his dreams, his performances, his friends to guard, these are more than Hate is more important.
But if they refused, then Renly was willing to follow through.
At first, George gave Renly an ultimatum, and then they cut ties with Renly completely, leaving Renly to fend for themselves in America.
Now, Renly has given George and Elizabeth an ultimatum to draw the line. He didn't want to hold on to those grudges in the past, but just wanted to cut off all relationships and leave all the grudges here. Otherwise... otherwise he wasn't sure when his attack would stop.
Five years ago, they were a family that was estranged from each other; five years later, they were a family that hated and entangled each other, but the positions of strength and weakness were reversed, and then the story changed dramatically, like reincarnation. Usually, the same scene is played out again.
Matthew lowered his eyes and concealed the sigh in his heart. The words he found in Renly's room in the early morning reappeared in his mind, "When others return home, I still walk on the road until I reach the other side, Or nothing." It wasn't that Renly didn't want to go home, it was that he couldn't.
They shouldn't hurt Philip.
But for George and Elizabeth, they felt the boiling anger surging. They were given an ultimatum by their son, and it was still in public, which was equivalent to a slap in the face. Hot cheeks almost collapsed.
This is a great disgrace!
Because of his anger, George's body trembled slightly, "What if I say no?"
Renly didn't speak, just raised his eyebrows slightly, and met George's gaze calmly and calmly. The answer was self-evident. Without hesitation or hesitation, without softening or flinching, Renly responded positively.
"How dare you!" George squeezed two words out of his teeth.
Renly couldn't help laughing a little—because it was absurd, but also because it was ridiculous.
Such scenes are really like children quarreling, "you hit me", "you hit me", "do you dare", "do you dare", such repeated provocations keep going back and forth, but no one really does it, It turned out to be just a bluff, making their confrontation childish and boring.
American media reporters also always like to challenge Renly: How dare you!
But Renly had never been timid, he, why not
Now facing George asking the same question again, Renly doesn't even bother to continue these useless verbal disputes. Dare or dare, don't they have a clue
The reason why he was willing to talk face-to-face with George and Elizabeth was to make the words clear, and the ultimatum still needed to be made clear. , it's that simple.
In fact, today's charity auction is .asxs.: Renly will not continue to be beaten passively, he will be fully armed and ready to fight, he can attack anytime and anywhere in the future, and as long as the attack starts, he will not stop, Never die. He didn't want blood on his hands, but he didn't mind either.
Renly didn't turn around and leave immediately, but stayed where he was, letting the silence spread, which made George's "you dare" become timid and vain, no need to respond but it was worth a thousand words, invisible, George started to become small, and then Renly took the initiative to meet the eyes of George and Elizabeth, and said with a smile, "So, is there anything else?"
