Chapter 238 Visitors Come Like Clouds
A few years ago, even in front of Luo Quan, Charles would have taken off the pants of this little bastard Leon and then given him a severe beating!
"You are just like that bastard father of yours, smooth-talking and lacking in formality!" The old man sat down on the chair again and took a few deep breaths.
Now he has basically left the company's work to his second son. It's time to start enjoying peace and happiness. Only by staying in a good mood can he live a few more years.
As the saying goes, Cao Cao arrives.
The old man here just mentioned Eric, and the latter walked in with his new wife.
"Dad, how are you doing recently?" Eric walked in with a smile.
The old man's face was expressionless: "It's okay, I'm not mad at you."
Eric rubbed his hot face against his cold buttocks, thinking to himself that the old man would be very happy to see him after not going home for so long. Why did he sneer at him as soon as he came in?
"What's going on?" Eric asked Luo Quan in a low voice.
"Ask your brother." Luo Quan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Are you making grandpa angry again?" Eric kicked Leon from behind, of course, without force.
Luo Ni frowned and said, "Don't be so rude. Don't they say that foreigners pay attention to communication and dance practice? How come they are like my dad, moving their hands and feet."
When Eric spoke to Luo Ni, his tone suddenly softened: "This is my family's tradition."
Leon was very aggrieved: "Wouldn't grandpa arrange a marriage for my sister and me as soon as he comes back? I just put forward a condition, and then grandpa got angry."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. At worst, I won't care about your things from now on, right?" Charles waved his hand, ending the topic.
He turned to look at his son and daughter-in-law, showing a more relaxed attitude: "Are you here so soon?"
"Yes, I took the plane last night and came here as soon as I got off the plane." Eric said, pulling Luo Ni in front of him, "Dad, this is Luo Ni, also Luo Quan's mother."
"Hello, Dad." Luo Ni was much more generous than Luo Quan and was not afraid of strangers at all.
The old man stood up and said in a deep voice: "I have cried for you and Luo Quan in the past few years. What happened back then is not entirely his fault. It is more my responsibility."
Luo Ni smiled softly: "It's all over."
Eric held his wife's hand and said nothing, keeping everything silent.
"By the way, your younger brothers and sisters will be back tonight. We should communicate more with each other then. They haven't seen each other for several years..."
Eric nodded, but made no answer.
Luo Quan observed the words and expressions nearby and found that the relationship between his father and those uncles and aunts was not very good.
Mostly because of family property, this is basically a constant drama in every wealthy family.
However, my father's character doesn't seem like someone who likes to fight for power. No wonder he has been traveling around the world these years. He probably just doesn't want to stay in the UK and fight for power with several brothers and sisters.
But now that I'm back, I'm afraid I can't avoid many things. I just hope there won’t be too many quarrels at the birthday party.
While thinking, Butler Barry led Eric and his family upstairs.
The first floor of the castle is a very spacious hall. A crystal chandelier as bright as stars hangs above the hall. When it is turned on at night, it must be extremely magnificent.
There are two stairs leading to the second floor, one on the left and one on the right surrounding the entrance to the castle's back garden. After rotating 180 degrees, the stairs will disappear into the stone wall of the castle.
Going further up is the private and clean bedroom.
Luo Quan didn't know how many rooms there were in this castle. Anyway, they skipped the second floor and went to the third floor.
The area on the third floor was one-third smaller than that on the first and second floors, but there were more than ten room doors she saw, and each one was widely separated.
"Master usually lives in the first room at the corner of the stairs. The rooms at the back are all empty. You can move into any room directly." Butler Barry opened a door as he spoke.
The interior has a completely modern decoration design, but the bed is quite retro, with a metal bed frame, a very high mattress, and various carvings and hollows, making it feel very noble to the senses.
"Then I'll take this one." Luo Quan didn't choose and asked the servant to carry his luggage inside.
"Then Seifert and I want these two rooms." Leon pointed to the two rooms next to Luo Quan, while Leon and Luo Ni were in the one further away.
After arranging the servants to put away the luggage, Butler Barry said: "There is an intercom at the bedside. If you need anything, press the button and a servant will answer the call 24 hours a day. In addition, when lunch is ready, I will also Someone will be sent up to call everyone.”
These words were actually meant for Luo Quan and Seifert. After all, this was their first time here.
After walking into the room and closing the door, Luo Quan finally relaxed and lay down on the bed.
I don’t know what brand this mattress is, but it’s actually more comfortable than a bed in a five-star hotel.
As for the rest of the decor, there's not much to say.
It is actually very difficult to decorate a castle with a history of hundreds of years, and the decoration restrictions are also very high. It is definitely not comparable to the carefully designed decoration of those modern mansions.
But for the director, the standards are very high.
Besides, living in a castle and living in a mansion are completely different concepts.
Luo Quan took off his shoes, lay down on the bed, and started browsing Weibo.
If nothing else happens, the pace of this audition should have been picked up in China.
Sure enough, she saw her name in the hot search:
"Luo Quan failed the audition!"
"This morning Luo Quan auditioned for the heroine of "The Lord of the Rings" at the Royal Opera House in London. After being interviewed by reporters, it seems that the result of the audition was not ideal. Even though he had already obtained the qualification to play the heroine, because I finally chose to give up due to personal reasons.”
Director Ford's fame is not as great in China as it is in the world.
Everyone just likes the movies he makes, but doesn't actually know much about the director himself. Although "Lord of the Rings" is very popular abroad, there are actually not many related reports in China.
After all, all film and television-related media in China are currently promoting "Wolf Warrior 2".
Therefore, after the news came out that Luo Quan failed in the audition, there were half the fans and half the cynics.
"Is this considered a disgrace and being sent abroad? I heard that there were a lot of international media present at the time. It is estimated that the whole world knows that Luo Quan was removed."
"Read the article carefully. It was originally decided, but I gave up due to personal reasons. It's not like I was kicked off at all."
"Do you believe what the media writes? It's obviously to save Luo Quan's face."
"I didn't even audition for the leading role because of the female lead. I went to the UK specifically to praise the bad feet of foreign directors, but I wasn't even selected. I laughed to death."
"The audition should be just a drop-in. Luo Quan went to England mainly to celebrate his grandpa's birthday."
"Are you a relative of hers? It's so clear?"
"Before speaking, go to Station B to check out her personal updates. She made it very clear to netizens yesterday why she went to the UK this time. She hates you idiots the most."
……………………
This long-lost feeling suddenly felt strange and familiar to Luo Quan.
Her reputation has improved a while ago, and all Weibo is praising her. This is actually very rare in the entertainment industry, especially for young celebrities with such high traffic, they are almost rare.
It had been so long since I had seen any comments scolding her that Luo Quan almost forgot what kind of place Weibo was.
Fortunately, these people are just making some weird comments at the moment and are not cursing, so they don't care too much.
As for the reports in these media, they are quite true, and there is basically no embellishing or distortion of her speech.
After thinking about it, she decided that it would be better to remain silent in this rhythm, because there was really nothing to say. If she didn't choose, she didn't choose. It would definitely be a regret, but there was no other way.
But in the future, when "The Lord of the Rings" explodes, there is a possibility that these people will bring out these things and whip them into pieces.
I looked at Twitter again and found that the foreign media were not as anxious as the domestic ones. The news media that had interviewed her before had no movement. It was probably that they would wait until the casting of the movie was completely completed before they would report on it. However, it was probably not Just in the past two days.
About half an hour later, Butler Barry came to tell everyone that lunch was ready and asked everyone to go down to eat.
Luo Quan followed his father to the dining room, where the long dining table was filled with food.
Today's main dish is steak, and there are many other meat side dishes and vegetables. I didn't see dessert, so I guess it will have to wait until later.
"Daughter, aren't you trying to lose weight? Do you want to make some more food?" Luo Ni sat next to Luo Quan and asked in a low voice.
"I stopped losing weight a long time ago. Now I eat meat every day and have gained more than ten pounds."
"Didn't you see that you were fat?" Luo Ni was surprised, but also a little envious.
In order to maintain her figure, she actually doesn't dare to eat big fish or meat. Of course, it's okay to eat it once in a while. If she eats too much, she will definitely gain weight.
I didn’t expect my daughter to eat like this every day and not look fat at all. It’s really...
While talking, Luo Quan had already picked up the knife and fork and started eating.
Just like foreigners use chopsticks, the way Luo Quan uses a knife and fork is quite clumsy in the eyes of the old man and others.
Fortunately, she was more reserved when cutting the meat, and did not directly cut it into quarter-sized fists like the braised pork before.
Since she stopped losing weight, Luo Quan's appetite has been increasing day by day. Today, only she and Seifert ate all the steak, and everyone else had some leftover.
When the old man saw Luo Quan's empty plate and Luo Quan who was still stuffing waffles into his mouth, his eyes were surprised: "I didn't expect you have such a good appetite. It seems that today's vegetable roots are to your liking."
"It's really delicious." Luo Quan showed a polite yet awkward smile, saying to himself that foreign steaks always pay attention to small but fine steaks, and they are always so good every time. With this little steak, she If you don't care about the image, you'll finish it in just a few bites.
As for the taste, I can’t say it’s that good.
The steak is naturally the best Snowflake Wagyu beef. This kind of top-quality beef is full of fat. No oil is used when frying and grilling. All the beef's own oil is used. The final fried steak has a texture that melts in your mouth.
However, this kind of meat has no chewiness at all, and Luo Quan feels it is not as good as the well-cooked frozen aged beef in ordinary restaurants.
Fortunately, there were a lot of side dishes on the table, so I finally filled my stomach with some delicious food.
As soon as the family here finished eating, the old man's other children came one after another with their families.
The first to arrive was the old man's second daughter, named Sonia, the fifth in the family. She is thirty-five years old and currently serves as an economics professor at Oxford University. She is a highly educated person in the true sense.
It is worth mentioning that Luo Quan, an aunt full of intellectual beauty, is still single to this day.
"Ah, my lovely nephew, aunt hasn't seen you for a long time!" As soon as Aunt Sonia entered the door and saw Leon, she couldn't help but take a bite out of him.
"Aunt, why are you still the same as before!" Leon struggled to break away from Aunt Sonia's clutches.
When I came to London as a child, every time I met Aunt Sonia, I would inevitably be ravaged by her. I didn’t expect that I would still be treated like this when I grew up.
Sonia shifted her gaze to Luo Quan: "This must be my niece, I heard about you a long time ago, but not from my brother, but from TC Candler's website.
She is much more beautiful in person than in the photos~~~"
Seeing the nymphomaniac look on Sonia's face, Luo Quan was 1000% sure that his aunt was a beauty addict who couldn't walk when she saw handsome boys and beauties!
Finally, the old man couldn't stand it any longer. At some point, he had a crutch in his hand and knocked it heavily on the ground: "As elders, please pay attention to your image. Don't be crazy like your fourth brother!
Also, why didn’t you go to the blind date I gave you before? Is this the first time you let others go? "
Well, it seems that my grandfather likes to be a matchmaker for his family, and he has to have a hand in everyone's marriage.
Sonia curled her lips: "I didn't ask you to go on a blind date for me. I'm just being sentimental..."
"What did you say?" The old man stared, and the latter did not dare to speak.
The old man was about to say a few words to his youngest daughter, telling her not to think about her research and academic reports all day long, but to think about her own life-long events.
Another handsome blond guy walked in outside the door. Looking at his appearance alone, he was even more outstanding than his father, probably because he was younger.
"Hold on, old man, when did your legs and feet become inconvenient? Why are you still on crutches?" The handsome blond man put his hands in his pockets and joked.
Luo Quan finally knew where his brother's bad-mouthed skills came from.
This time the old man showed no mercy and waved the iron crutch in his hand as if to strike, but the eldest son quickly raised his hand to stop him.
"What is this for?" Eric looked helpless.
Ps. Thanks to the book friend Deng Shen for the book coins, thank you!
