atypical hollywood life

Margaret, who just stepped out of the car door, was also shocked. Could it be that Lilian is a fan of Iron Man?

The whole villa is streamlined, and a lot of metal and glass make this villa full of sense of technology and a sense of coming from the future.

On the whole, it looks like a clump of mushrooms growing on the mountain. Two rows of tall sycamore trees are planted along the private driveway in front of the door, forming a key shape around the perimeter of the villa. Looking back along the sycamore trees, it is endless Pacific Ocean, obviously, this villa is built on the beach.

But most importantly, how this villa looks like Tony Stark's seaside mansion in the Marvel movie "Iron Man".

Look at these shiny metal doorposts, the huge sheets of tempered glass, and the distinctive surreal roof. Lilian has completely copied the appearance of Liberty City, but she doesn’t know what’s inside. What is it like.

She is now very sure that the fragment must be a fan of Iron Man. This kind of fanaticism is beyond the explanation of ordinary hardcore. After seeing the landscape in the villa, Margaret commented.

She had also brushed "Iron Man" back then, and the layout of the room was completely copied from the city of Liberty in the movie. This is really... making people wonder what adjectives to use.

But obviously, Rebecca and Ian didn't have as many emotions as she did. To them, this was just a house with a unique style.

"The house covers a total area of ​​4.5 acres, has its own private driveway, and is close to the road, the traffic is very convenient, and there is an independent dock, which can dock small yachts. Of course, if the volume is too large, it will not work, and it will cause false tides. The villa The cliff you occupy is also private. The biggest advantage of this cliff is that it is alone, and it will not be connected with other people’s cliffs to cause some disputes. Your neighbors are far enough away from you, so you don’t have to worry about it when you have a party. They influence each other, and the cliffs are not very high. There is a private beach below. There are straight passages for elevators and steps. In order to prevent outsiders from coming up from below, the steps are also built inside. These have safety doors, unless the other party is a rock climber or in the air. Come on, security is pretty good, there are security equipment inside the villa, and the security guards in the afternoon don't have to worry about the safety of living here at all."

Ian dutifully introduced everything here to Margaret.

"The house has 12 bedrooms and various supporting living rooms, bathrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms. In addition, there are tennis courts, swimming pools, gymnasiums, conservatories, libraries, and the basement is sound-proof music facilities and recording studios. There is also a Small private movie theater and, oh yes, a wine cellar. At your request, the house patrolman will return to resume his work after you leave Los Angeles. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Ian took the two of them around the entire villa and made a summary.Generally speaking, this house is really good, but it is not suitable for one person to live alone.

Margaret twitched the corners of her mouth, no wonder no one lived in it after it was built, Lilian and William were out all day, so living alone in such a big place is the best haunted house.

"There are newly purchased drinks and food in the refrigerator. If there are no special requirements for daily necessities, there is no problem. Do you have any questions?"

"NO, I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry, you guys talk first, I'll go get something to eat."

Rebecca consciously left Foraging to give these two people whose relationship was still clouded a space to talk.

"So, what happened?"

Margaret raised her chin. It was obvious that Ian had something to say to her. Since she had accepted his apology, it meant that she was willing to repair the relationship. It didn't hurt to listen.

"I hope you can help me get a piece of land."

No nonsense, Ian said straight to the point.

"what?"

Margaret was shocked, what medicine did this guy take wrongly?

"Just as you heard."

Ian rubbed his forehead, this is really a shameless and embarrassing thing.

"When I divorced Vanessa, she took a plan, and now the plan is in the hands of my competitors... The attitude of the state government is very ambiguous, and I need a strong helping hand."

Ian said irritably that his partner had reminded him to be careful of Vanessa, but he was still careless, thinking that she would not be so cruel.

Unexpectedly, she was much more ruthless than the worst consequences he had imagined. After knowing that she could not get more benefits from him, she turned around and sold him to her opponent. It was simply ruthless.

Margaret's eyesight was also viciously accurate. She had predicted a few years ago that she would ruin his family property and drain his last drop of surplus value. She really couldn't offend a woman casually.

"Let me remind you, Dear Mr. Hope, I'm just 11 years old this year, do you think I can give the state government a nod or do you think I can get the president to order them to give you the green light?"

Margaret was almost stunned by her amazing imagination. She really didn't expect that she also had the potential to write novels.

"You can't, but Hughes can."

Ian said bluntly.The influence of the Hughes Group in the United States is beyond doubt.

Talking about the project through the Hughes family and the state government, the result is definitely much better than directly confronting it.Ordinary developers and the Hughes Group, the state government won't hesitate for long.

He gave Ian a slightly weird look, "Why don't you go and tell Alexander yourself?"

Anyway, they can be regarded as blood relatives, and they can also operate this matter through the elders in the family.

Rolling his eyes, Ian said directly without any sloppy eyes: "Because I don't know him well! Compared with you who often travel to England, Alexander stays in the United States all year round, and are you sure I will tell him directly that he will Do you mind me?"

That person still has feelings for the Ludwig family, after all, when he goes to England to visit his mother, he will also visit his uncle, but what kind of affection can you expect him to have for the son of the uncle's daughter who is another generation away?Give me a break!

He understood what Margaret meant, but the relationship between the Ludwig family and the nature of the matter was different. No matter from which point of view, the relationship on Margaret's side was better.

Blinking, "So that's why you reconciled with me?"

This guy is still pretty smart.

Shaking his head, "A little bit, I came up with the idea of ​​making peace with you, even after I had prepared the gift."

Ian's eyes softened and fell into memories,

"My personality is not good. When I grow up so big, I always go smoothly except for Vanessa. This is actually not a good thing. If I stumble, I will be a big one. No one will tell me, but I I know that I have been an asshole since I was a child. Everyone knows this, but no one will really talk about my character flaws in front of me. The children of the Ludwig family are all older than me. Young children are tolerant, and my brother in my family is much older than me. He loves me more, and you have to admit that even if I am a jerk, I haven’t caused any trouble. It’s a peace of mind. I can get along well in that damn place in Eaton, which shows that my EQ is not too bad. Even Vanessa, except for tearing her face when she got divorced, has never turned her face away. You are the first person to be rude to me , The speech has always been sharp, even very predictable. At that time, I thought this little guy was really interesting."

Ian suddenly laughed while talking, "You know what? When Vanessa and I got married, I suddenly remembered what you said, and then drew up a prenuptial agreement by accident. You must know that this agreement has been saved. Most of my assets, I really should be grateful to you."

Margaret twitched the corners of her mouth. Is this shaking M's upper body?Just befriended her because she didn't like him?Sure enough, it was right not to give him a good face at the beginning, so it's considered abusive!

"Don't make that face, honey, I'm not a masochist."

Ian laughed, and he knew what the little girl was thinking at a glance, "I just think it's not bad to meet someone who can treat me without the bonuses of my various identities. You know, my own sister doesn't like me too much. . I'm still pretty self-aware."

I'm afraid Victoria felt asshole towards him, while little Elizabeth felt more confused towards him.

Perhaps because of family reasons, Elizabeth, who was the same age as Margaret, did not have her mature thoughts. Instead, she grew up like a real child. Before he left home, the biggest impression of him was probably that his girlfriend changed Very often?

Can't understand the minds of you stupid dudes.Margaret groaned silently.

"I can only pull the strings. You have to discuss the details yourself. I don't know much about these things, so I can't give you much advice."

She has no interest in business, and she doesn't plan to get involved in this area in the future, so she really can't give Ian any useful advice.

"It doesn't matter, if you are willing to say a word for me, it is more useful than a hundred words for me. I will follow up the specific matters by myself."

There will be rewards only if you pay. He is very clear that the Hughes Group will not sell for nothing, and he is confident that the resources in his hands can still pay the rewards.

"I heard that you came to Los Angeles this time to shoot a movie?"

After solving his serious problem, Ian began to chat with Margaret about the itinerary.

"Claudia, you know that."

Margaret tilted her head and answered Ian, believing that Ian should be able to roughly guess some things based on Ian's IQ.

"An inside story?"

As an Englishman with an elder in his family who runs a theater in the West End of London, Ian instantly understood what Margaret meant.

——————————————————————————————

Let’s talk about Ian Hope, his grandfather Maximilian Ludwig is Anne Ludwig’s brother, that is, the uncle of Alexander and William, and his mother Sophia Ludwig married Townsend Hope, gave birth to eldest son Sean Hope, youngest son Ian Hope and twin sister Victoria Hope, youngest daughter Elizabeth Hope.

In terms of relationship, Maximilian is Margaret's uncle, and Sophia Ludwig is Margaret's distant aunt, so Ian Hope is her distant cousin with some blood.These are just to supplement the background, not important, just know that the Ludwig family is a flourishing family.
