Chapter 502 501【Churchill】

"Vivian!"

"Vivian!"

"Frey!"

"Frey!"

"..."

At the end of a performance, the entire theater hall is shouting the names of the leading actors and actresses.

People lined up to shake hands with the actors, including some nobles. Although nobles look down on actors when they choose their marriage partners, it does not prevent them from chasing stars on weekdays. Among them, several barons personally presented Vivien Leigh with flowers.

Ornis looked at his daughter with a smile on his face. He turned to Zhou Hexuan and said, "Zhou, Mary is an excellent girl. I hope you treat her well."

"I will." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.

Ornis had already thought it through, he decided to respect his daughter's choice, neither supporting nor opposing it.

Well, the main reason is that business is not doing well right now, and Ornis is reluctant to give up the rare good opportunity. As for the mess between his daughter and Zhou Hexuan, there was nothing Ornis could do to interfere, so how could he stop it?

Backstage at the theater, Vivien Leigh had just changed when the staff came in with two bouquets of flowers and said, "Miss Vivienne, your gift."

"Thank you." Vivien Li took the flowers, looked at the card on the flower branch, and put it back with a smile.

During this period of time, Vivien Leigh has received various gifts every day, among which roses are the most, so much that she can take them back to the flower shop.

Vivien Leigh picked up her bag, waved goodbye to other actors, and got into Zhou Hexuan's car through the back door of the theater.

"Tired?" Zhou Hexuan asked.

Vivien Leigh rubbed her eyebrows and said, "A little bit."

Zhou Hexuan suggested: "You can reduce the performances, there are too many performances every day, not to mention you have to study."

Vivien Leigh said with a smile: "The audience is so enthusiastic, I don't want to let them down."

The two returned to their villa in the suburbs of London. Vivien Li hung up her bag and hugged Zhou Hexuan from behind: "Xuan, let's go shopping together tomorrow weekend."

Zhou Hexuan said: "Someone will come to visit tomorrow, I can't leave."

"That's it." Vivien Leigh was a little disappointed, then smiled again, "Then I'll stay at home with you."

Zhou Hexuan felt that the heat was almost ready, turned around and faced Vivien Leigh, looked at her affectionately and said, "Mary, I will return to China in a few days, would you like to go with me?"

"So fast?" Vivien Leigh felt very tangled. She didn't want to give up her studies, and she didn't want to give up her fame in London, but she didn't want to be separated from Zhou Hexuan. This kind of thing made it difficult for her to make a choice.

Zhou Hexuan said truthfully: "I have a wife in China."

Vivien Li bowed her head in frustration, and said for a long time, "Dad told me."

"I hope you can accept that this kind of thing is nothing in China." Zhou Hexuan was flickering.

"Can I think about it again?" Vivien Leigh said painfully.

"Of course." Zhou Hexuan pulled Vivien Leigh into his arms, leaned over and kissed her forehead.

Zhou Hexuan also knew that he was shameless, so in order to satisfy his possessive desire, he used tricks to trick a pure girl away. But he was very good at comforting himself, constantly reminding himself that this was saving Vivien Leigh's life.

Vivien Leigh in history will marry a lawyer at the end of this year, and her married life is not very happy. A few years later, she met the famous actor Oliver again, and the two had a passionate affair, and then each abandoned their families and eloped to Hollywood in the United States to develop.

Oliver quickly became famous in Hollywood, but in the end he committed the problem of stealing again, and had an ambiguous relationship with other women behind Vivien Leigh's back. Vivien Leigh endured her husband's betrayal (the two were married at this time), and at the same time faced fierce competition from Hollywood. As a result, her temper became more and more irritable and neurotic. She smoked five packs of cigarettes a day to fight depression, which led to tuberculosis.

By the 1950s, Vivien Leigh had been severely depressed, and tuberculosis was cured and relapsed continuously. She quarreled with Oliver twice in three days, and often lost her temper in the crew, especially suffered two consecutive miscarriages, which led to depression for half a year.

In the end, Vivien Leigh chose to divorce Oliver, took care of her Merivale life in her old age and long-term care, and died of depression and tuberculosis at the age of 54.

Looking at Vivien Leigh's life, it was very tragic. She was plagued by mental illness and tuberculosis for 20 years, and she was lucky not to go completely crazy.

Zhou Hexuan always consoled himself, maybe he could save Vivien Leigh's life.

At night, Vivien Leigh tossed and turned, so upset that she couldn't fall asleep. She asked in the dark: "Xuan, are you asleep?"

"No." Zhou Hexuan held Vivien Leigh in his arms.

Vivien Leigh pressed her face to Zhou Hexuan's chest, and murmured: "I can go to China with you, but just to see. If life is not happy, I will choose to return to England, or go to the United States on the other side of the ocean."

"No matter how you choose, I will support you." Zhou Hexuan turned over and pressed Vivien Leigh, and kissed those petal-like lips.

Vivien Leigh was actually very unhappy, but she still made the same choice as in history. At that time, Vivien Leigh had a husband, and Oliver also had a wife. Their affair and elopement was far more difficult than going to China with Zhou Hexuan.

This is a woman who looks weak and doesn't like to fight with others, but is desperate at critical times.

Perhaps in order to relieve the depression in her heart, Vivien Leigh's reaction tonight was very intense. She crazily catered to Zhou Hexuan's movements, and in the end even turned the other way, riding on the man's body like a fairy, twisting and bumping.

In the early morning of the next day, Vivien Leigh smiled sweetly again, as if she had completely forgotten the troubles of yesterday. She is like a newlywed wife, getting up early to make breakfast for her husband, humming an unknown song and tidying up the room.

It is the future British Prime Minister Winston Churchill who is going to visit us today, and the two have made an appointment in the letter.

Guo Taiqi showed up earlier than Churchill, and he is now in full swing, not letting go of any chance to make British friends. Some time ago, when Churchill was visiting Germany, Zhou Hexuan took Guo Taiqi to visit, but he missed nothing, so he could only leave his business card and leave regrettably.

Happily, after returning to London, Churchill saw the business card left by Zhou Hexuan, and immediately wrote a letter to arrange a time to meet.

Churchill really wanted to meet Zhou Hexuan. The main reason was that Zhou Hexuan publicly opposed the spread of fascism, and the two had the same views. Churchill's trip to Germany this time is equivalent to traveling, and he visited many ancient battlefield relics. He wrote in his diary: "When we passed through these beautiful regions and passed through one ancient city after another, I naturally learned about Hitler's movements. I To feel the aggressive atmosphere of fascism and to find that it was the main thing on every Nazi's mind."

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Churchill, already in good health, appeared in Zhou Hexuan's villa. Comparing the handsome photos of Churchill when he was young, people have to sigh that time is a butcher's knife.

"Mr. Churchill, hello!" Zhou Hexuan shook hands enthusiastically.

Guo Taiqi also stood up quickly and introduced himself: "Mr. Churchill, I am Guo Taiqi, the Chinese Minister to the UK. It is a pleasure to meet you."

After shaking hands with the two, Churchill took out the gift he brought: "Mr. Zhou, this is for you."

Zhou Hexuan opened it and saw that there were two gifts: one was a Dunhill cigar, and the other was a wool vest.

Cigars are easy to understand, but what the hell is a wool vest?

Churchill seemed to see Zhou Hexuan's doubts, he laughed and said: "Mr. Zhou, I am also a descendant of the wool family."

Zhou Hexuan was instantly embarrassed, okay, he scolded Earl Spencer at the prince's ball, and Churchill was also scolded by the way.

Churchill's full name was Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, and his real surname was "Spencer-Churchill", belonging to a branch of the Spencer family. Back then, "Churchill" was a very noble surname. Due to the extinction of descendants, George Spencer, the fifth Duke of Marlborough, changed his surname to "Spencer-Churchill" to inherit the great glory of the Churchill family. .

"That, haha," Zhou Hexuan said with an awkward smile, "Mr. Churchill, I was just joking, don't take it seriously."

Churchill lit the cigar and said: "No need to apologize. The ancestors of the Spencer family did make their fortunes by selling wool and paying bribes. This is an indisputable fact. I am not ashamed to be a descendant of the Spencer family. Spencer The honor of the family is the result of the hard work of generations of descendants, and I am willing to add more glory to the Spencer family."

Guo Taiqi flattered without losing the opportunity: "What Mr. Churchill said is really admirable. Men should work hard!"
