I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 458 The Grimm Sisters (Please subscribe, vote, and recommend!!!)

Before I knew it, it was nine o'clock!

Anita Mui was going back to sleep because of her health.

Liu Jin suggested that she stay at the manor tonight. There were plenty of houses anyway, and it would save her from driving so late at night.

After all, it's quite a remote road from the manor to the old town.

Gruysand is quite safe...

However, just in case!

Unfortunately, France has a lot of NM cases this year.

Aunt Mei readily agreed.

The housekeeper then arranged a guest room, and Maggie accompanied her back to rest.

The atmosphere immediately relaxed considerably after the two ladies left.

Liu Jin and the other two simply moved from the lawn to the poolside, and Lao Jiang, wearing only briefs, jumped right in.

"This time when I returned to France, I felt that the security situation was a bit poor."

"It's definitely bad. There are more and more haters and more and more 'NM's' (a derogatory term for someone who criticizes others)."

It's alright now, but in another ten years or so... I personally feel that the security situation in Europe will only get worse.

"What?"

Do you think NM deserves pity?

"what?"

"Just you wait and see, he's no good."

"Wouldn't that cause turmoil in Europe? How about we go to America?"

"It's not much better... Chinese people, unless they sell out their ancestors to get food, things will only get harder and harder."

Moreover, given America's environment, I don't think it's necessarily better than Europe's.

"You'd be better off staying here than running to America."

"So, according to you, there won't be a peaceful place left in the future?"

"Go back to China, it's safe there."

Let's leave that topic here.

Old Jiang climbed out of the pool, grabbed a bottle of beer from the ice bucket, and took a big, vicious gulp.

"Are you really planning to write that book?"

"Which one?"

"The Assassination of the Emperor".

"Of course!"

"Aren't you afraid of being censored? This kind of book can't possibly be published in the country."

Liu Jin rolled his eyes at Lao Jiang. "Do you think I care?"

Jiang Wen was taken aback, then gave a wry smile.

“But you can’t keep going like this, going against the country.”

Liu Jin smiled.

"You came with a mission?"

"You fucking...you're right!"

Jiang Wen smiled wryly and said, "You confronted those old bastards before, but they weren't bothered at all."

But your shooting has made them lose face! Although they won't admit it's related to their daily lives, it's clear to everyone.

Their point was that taking a step back would open up a whole new world.

"Damn it, I think if I endure it for a while, I'll get breast hyperplasia; if I take a step back, I'll get ovarian cysts. Why should I be the one to back down?"

Honestly, if my Aunt Tang hadn't been there, I would have cursed them out. A bunch of spineless cowards, why are they fawning over this nobody? During the Anti-Japanese War, official statistics showed that Henan Province lost over 6.5 million people, accounting for one-fifth of the national casualties. Their family trees were destroyed, and you expect me to bow down to this nobody?

Grandma!

Liu Jin gets furious whenever this is mentioned.

Old Jiang quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't be so aggressive towards me, I'm just passing on a message."

But it doesn't matter if you ignore them, since you don't rely on China for a living... To be honest, I'm so envious of you. You're not bound by so many rules and regulations, and you can live according to your own ideas and live a clear and open life.

That's true. If you don't beg them, they can't do anything to you.

Take your book for example. With just the title, I dare say it wouldn't even get published in China.

"You're overthinking it!"

Back then, on our peninsula, one man could take on seventeen; those with nothing to lose were not afraid of those wearing shoes.

Now, more people are wearing shoes, and there are no more eggs... yet they're always thinking about winning people over with virtue! I really, damn it, don't understand."

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking about this!"

Old Zhang interrupted the two of them.

"I think you could consider the band thing."

"Leslie, you also need to understand that if I get involved, and I have a conflict with my wife in the future, you will all be affected."

"So what if it affects us? It's the spirit of rock and roll, it's all about having fun!"

Old Zhang smiled, still with his gentle and refined demeanor.

"If all else fails, we'll release records for free, perform for free... We're not short of money, we just want to be happy, who cares about all that?"

"I'm a little short of money."

Jiang Wen looked up and muttered something.

After saying that, he smiled.

Liu Jin and Lao Zhang couldn't help but burst into laughter as well.

……

The three of them chatted until very late.

The next day, Liu Jin got up very early again.

I went swimming as usual, and then had breakfast.

Breakfast was prepared by the cook; it was a simple white meal.

baguette sandwich, bacon and eggs, milk and cereal...

Fortunately, Liu Jin has never had a truly Chinese palate, so he didn't mind too much.

But Jiang Zemin couldn't do that!

They kept saying they wanted dumplings for lunch.

"You won't find the vinegar you're looking for in France." "What do you mean?"

"The kind of dumplings that you'd make just for that taste of vinegar."

"Haha, that's well said!" Old Jiang couldn't help but laugh. "Next time you come, I'll get you the most authentic aged vinegar."

Liu Jin chuckled as well.

He still doesn't understand the joke!

But in ten years, he will definitely incorporate this joke into the movie.

After breakfast, Leslie and Lao Jiang wandered around the manor, while Anita Mui and Maggie returned to the city.

She has decided to settle in Gryzan.

And they set their sights on a house not far from Leslie's place.

Also by the roadside, there is a two-story detached building with a total of five rooms.

It's a bit old-fashioned, but she likes it very much.

The price isn't very high either, around 200,000 euros.

She still has that much money.

"Unfortunately, I'm all alone!"

Anita Mui was somewhat disappointed.

Throughout her life, she longed for a home, but her love life was fraught with hardship.

Maggie put his arm around her and whispered, "It's okay, I'll stay with you!"

Upon hearing this, Anita Mui couldn't help but laugh.

……

Jiang Wen stayed at the Château de Grüssant for three days before heading to Spain.

Old Zhang also moved back to his house in Gryssan.

Because Mr. Tang has arrived.

After a few days of bustling activity, the Grüssang Manor became quiet and deserted.

However, this quiet period didn't last long, because Eva arrived!
She didn't come alone; her sister, Joy Green, accompanied her.

Eva Green and Joey Green are twins, and Joey Green is even prettier than Eva, or at least equally beautiful.

She is four minutes younger than Eva.

But their personalities are completely different from Eva's.

Eva is somewhat reserved, even a little withdrawn.

However, compared to Eva from the original timeline, she is much more cheerful.

Joey is more outgoing and very lively than Eva.

She has no connection to the entertainment industry... She has a boyfriend who is Italian, and they plan to get married at the end of the year.

Moreover, they did not intend to settle in Paris, but rather planned to go to Normandy to run a horse farm.

"Amos, I want to thank you."

When Joey met Liu Jin, his first words surprised Liu Jin.

"Thank me?"

"Because of your persuasion, my sister did not accept the role in the movie 'The Dreamers'."

My dad and I went to see it in the theater later. My dad said it was lucky Eva didn't catch it, otherwise he would have broken her leg.

Ha, is that so?

Liu Jin was unaware that after Eva from the original timeline accepted the role in "The Dreamers," her relationship with her family became extremely strained.

Her later reclusiveness was also related to this.

Regardless of how people evaluate "The Dreamers" as an art film.

But to the average person, it's just porn...

European actresses often take on these kinds of roles out of necessity.

Who told those idiot European directors to love making these kinds of films in the name of art?

They call them art films or drama films.

but……

If this were in China, every single one of those idiotic directors would probably be considered a director of banned films.

Eva rolled her eyes, ignoring Joey's ramblings.

She sat in the passenger seat and asked softly, "Is your wound alright?"

I wanted to come over as soon as I heard you were shot... but the director said he needed to do two more shots, so I was delayed.

Liu Jin raised his arm and made a strong movement.

"I already said it was a penetrating injury. If it weren't for creating public opinion, I could have been discharged that day."

"Amos, is it really related to everyday life?"

"Whether it's related or not doesn't matter... Hehe, as long as I think it's related, that's fine."

"What are you going to do?"

"Me?" Liu Jin glanced at Joey through the rearview mirror, then looked at Eva, and laughed, "Of course, I'll go head-to-head!"
"Old grudges and new hatreds—those guys gave me a death notice two years ago."

"I never expected them to be so despicable."

"What, don't you believe the police report? The police said it has nothing to do with your personal life."

"Tch, anyone who can think clearly knows that this matter is inextricably linked to everyday life."

Amos, you've really exposed their secrets.

Joey chuckled as she spoke.

Liu Jin was quite surprised and glanced at Joey again through the rearview mirror.

"Eva!"

"Ok?"

"Joey is smarter than you!"

"Fuck you..."

Eva was furious.

In the back row, Joey was laughing so hard he almost fell over.
