The Greatest Showman (Big Play Bone) - Chapter 2488
“Len Li, I need to return to Manhattan.”
Matthew calmly explained his decision, not asking for opinions, but announcing the results. He couldn’t continue to behave like this. Patience has reached the limit. If he doesn’t make his stand, I’m afraid this farce will not end. He needs a quick knife. Zhan said “no” to Lan Li in a mess.
At this time, it was already afternoon.
Throughout the morning, they were busy running, returning from New Jersey to New York, and from New York to New Jersey:
First, they went to Brooklyn to buy some paintings by local artists, and then shopped at the flea market in Queens; lunch was settled on Long Island. According to the “Lonely Planet” guide, they found an authentic Cuban family restaurant and tasted it. Beef made with local methods——
During the period, I also encountered a few guys who were suspected to be smugglers who mistakenly thought they were “guests”. Although the misunderstanding was quickly clarified and no further accidents were caused, there is a high probability that the Italians who sold smuggled cigars should be involved. , Things may be more troublesome.
Then he returned to a second-hand furniture market in New Jersey. After going around for nearly two hours, he returned to Manhattan.
No, on the way home, Lanly changed his mind again and was going to continue northward towards Boston.
Matthew realized that things must end here.
Lan Li turned his head and looked at Matthew carefully. He could perceive Matthew’s emotions on the verge of an explosion, and he could feel the heavy low pressure rushing toward his face in silence, but Lan Li still did not ask, just Nodded and said obediently, “Okay. I see.”
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then you put me down here, I can take a ride all the way to Boston.” Lan Li said calmly, with a look even with a little expectation, “I was going to try to ride along the road before. This is the most interesting road trip in the United States. Hippies have done this, and now I can finally try it out.”
Matthew turned his head to look at Lan Li, but he didn’t get a response, which made him gritted his teeth secretly, didn’t say anything, hit the steering wheel and pulled over and stopped.
Lan Li opened the door, left the passenger seat neatly, and waved to Matthew, “Work is going well, remember not to work overtime tonight.”
After speaking, Lan Li closed the car door, then turned and took a step forward.
Matthew ignored Lan Li, let go of the handbrake, and walked away.
Anger is boiling in the veins, and the emotions of irritability and annoyance are burning. Depressed and depressed, controlled and controlled, but ultimately failed; raised his head, glanced at the rearview mirror, and then he could see that Lan Li was really raising his hand to stop the car on the side of the road.
The problem is that the direction is wrong——
He was going to the north, but at this time he was facing the south, and the road did not change sides. Even people who can’t tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest wanted to take a ride along the road? Or, is he going to read the headlines of tomorrow’s newspapers, what does it feel like to say “Len Li-Hall’s corpse was thrown into the wilderness”?
Damn it!
Damn, damn, damn!
Damn it!
Matthew slammed on the brakes, put in reverse gear, backed up all the way, and returned to Lan Li, stopped, and opened the window of the passenger seat.
“The opposite direction!”
Lan Li didn’t know why, “What?”
“You should go to the other side of the road. The opposite direction is to go to Boston. This is the direction to return to Manhattan.” Matthew had to explain aloud.
“Oh. Thank you.” Lan Li regained her consciousness, said briskly, and then looked left and right, preparing to cross the road.
Patience, patience and patience.
But after all, Matthew couldn’t continue to bear it any longer, opened the door of the car and walked down, all the anger erupted like a volcano.
“why?”
Matthew said in a loud voice, this stopped Lan Li, and he stared at Lan Li intently, “Why are you deliberately provoking me today?”
“According to the itinerary, didn’t you fly to Los Angeles today? The music festival is about to start tomorrow, but what are you doing in New York as the organizer? Isn’t this something you have been waiting for? You should arrive at the scene, that’s The result of the hard work of countless people.”
At the beginning, the voice was able to remain calm, just expounding his irritability, but as he spoke, his emotions fell away completely without warning.
“Why do you want to direct me to do these meaningless stupid things? You know I have a job! I have a morning meeting! I have an important meeting waiting! I still have countless tasks to complete! You should support me Lan Li, you should support me more than anyone else. Why? Why do you continue to provoke my bottom line like this today? You shouldn’t use me again and again like this.”
After speaking, Matthew turned and walked toward the driver’s seat, opened the door, and was about to sit in, but thinking about it, he couldn’t help but walked around.
“You shouldn’t be so headstrong, Sebastian! You should know that I won’t be by your side forever, I won’t! Neither will Rooney! Neither will Edith and Arthur! One day, We will all leave! We will all die! In the end you will be the only one left!”
“You should learn to take care of yourself, understand? You should…you should learn to organize your life. You can’t always put hope on other people! We can’t always accommodate you, understand? Even if it’s Rooney, even if it is I, we have no obligation to accommodate you forever. We also have our own lives, we also have our own difficulties, we also have our own setbacks and pains, and we will all leave after all.”
“If… What if Paul really leaves like Heather? What if I disappear tomorrow? What about you? What should you do?”
“You can’t… Sebastian, you can’t… You can’t put all your trust in us, you will get hurt, we will get hurt too, you need to rely on yourself. You can’t just rush in unreasonably like this My office, then ruined my meeting, ruined my day.”
“I… we won’t stay where we are forever.”
Matthew, it’s out of control.
He was completely out of control in this way, yelling like a child, without logic and thinking, repeating words that he didn’t know clearly, and the slight trembling voice revealed his pain and struggle. , Crimson eyes were full of desperate bitterness.
“But I will always stand where I am.” Lan Li was not embarrassed, not only was not angry or embarrassed, but also showed a shallow smile.
Matthew stared at Lanly and shook his head slightly, “No, you won’t, neither will I, no one will. You shouldn’t make a promise that you can’t fulfill, Sebastian, you are more than this. Smart, you know that it will never exist, and you can’t believe this promise yourself.”
Shallow tears blurred his vision, but Matthew took a deep breath and all the tears disappeared completely, refusing to surrender to the weakness, “Heather will never come back, she will never come back, understand? It’s neither of you The way to change the fact, so you shouldn’t make that promise.”
Lan Li said gently, “I know.”
Matthew stood there, watching Lan Li silently, all the irritation and anger slowly subsided, replaced by sadness and helplessness, the fragility in his eyes was trembling slightly, silently speaking to Lan Li The signal, finally, said lowly, “Sebastian, I need help.”
“I know.” Lan Li said softly again, “So, I am here.” Lan Li just met Matthew’s sight and called out softly, “Charles, I have always been here and never left, just Just like you.”
Matthew could feel the temperature in Lan Li’s eyes. He slowly closed his eyes, concealing his embarrassment and embarrassment, but all the disguise was falling apart and he could no longer hold on to it. He was ruining the world. The power yanked him out of the darkness of self-pity.
Then he was forced to start to face his wounds.
Heit Wesley, passed away.
The housekeeper of Dunlop, Haight Wesley, had a heart attack three days ago and died in his sleep.
This morning, when Lanly called Alexander Hamilton at Newark Airport to express his gratitude, Alexander brought up the matter—Henry Dunlop and Alexander mentioned this matter. He called Matthew and asked if Matthew would like it. Returning to London to attend Hayter’s funeral, Matthew refused.
“Because there is still work on hand, please express condolences to the Wesley family for me.” These are the original words of Matthew, but Henry is obviously not satisfied with Matthew’s perfunctory.
Originally, Lanly had to go to Los Angeles today, and then drove to Indio, because the Pioneer Village Music Festival was about to officially open tomorrow; but after learning the news, Lanly cancelled his ticket, turned around and returned to New York. Went to Matthew’s law firm.
Because Lan Li knew that something was wrong–
Matthew didn’t talk to him about Haite, or even talk to him; Matthew didn’t return to London, still buried himself in heavy work.
Ma Xianxian is evading reality.
Lan Li has experienced it himself, and he clearly understands what kind of emotion it is~www.mtlnovel.com~ It is indescribably intricate, but still lingering.
Therefore, Lan Li took the initiative to pull Matthew and ran around, trying to get Matthew out of the paralysis of work, and also tried to keep Matthew busy and temporarily forget the sadness. Most importantly, he tried to open up Matthew. I am willing to face myself. He knew that Matthew needed his company.
Matthew stood in place like this, his entire brain was like a mess, countless thoughts were surging and intertwined, and the deep sense of exhaustion made him unable to think.
Slowly opening his eyes again, Matthew once again saw Lan Li standing not far away, looking around the road carefully, which made him feel a little relieved, but he was not ready for the time being, he did not want to discuss The elephant in the room didn’t know what to discuss.
“What do you do next? Are you really going to Boston?” Matthew asked, his voice a little hoarse, and he felt tired from the bottom of his heart.
“Maybe you don’t have to go to Boston. I think the neighborhood is also good. There is a hiking trail there, so we can go for an adventure.” Lan Li really started like this.
Matthew looked down at his leather shoes with eyes full of confusion, not knowing how to respond.
