Chapter 204: Gathering of Stars (2)
In a luxurious villa in the Lille Point district of Manchester, UK.
At this time, men and women dressed very elegantly gathered here. Most of them held a glass of wine in their hands and walked back and forth in the hall. They greeted each other, communicated and chatted with each other, and a big guy with a slightly childish look occasionally went to the door to greet guests.
That’s right, this was a cocktail party specially organized by Rooney to celebrate Colleen’s pregnancy.
Rooney didn't know so many people, but surprisingly, the Beckhams flew directly from Spain to Manchester to attend the party. Although they have a good relationship, this was just an ordinary party in the name of celebration, but Beckham flew back directly from Spain, which was really surprising.
In fact, Beckham didn't want to come. Although the Spanish La Liga has not started yet, the team has already started daily training. Although he is a big star, he does not have such privileges. Players are players, and football is the root of everything. If he doesn't even abide by the basic team discipline, it will definitely disgust the head coach.
Although Beckham has a strong work ethic, he has a weakness, and that is his wife Victoria.
Victoria was definitely a strong woman, and she was very considerate of her husband. She also worked hard to get her family into the British upper class so that they could have a better life when they were old. When she heard that Wang Li would bring the little princess to the party, she immediately wanted to fly back to the UK to meet the little princess whom she had known for a long time.
Even though the British royal family is now more of a symbol, in British high society, aristocratic inheritance is still very important. For the British, if you can be canonized by the royal family, then it is natural for you to enter the upper-class social circle because you are already a noble.
If the Beckhams want to be canonized by Queen Elizabeth, they need not only fame and contribution, but most importantly, they need to be the "person", so the little princess is undoubtedly their opportunity to move into the upper class.
So, when the Beckhams came to Manchester, with their connections, they immediately attracted a large number of players and celebrities to attend the party. However, there were too many people. Although Rooney was very happy, he had to turn the small party into a cocktail party. Fortunately, Victoria and others helped, otherwise Rooney and Colleen would definitely be too busy.
Wang Li and Angela dressed up early this morning. Wang Li wore clothes specially made from the Dolce & Gabbana clothing store in Portugal. It was the first time he wore this outfit. The light black coat, the alternating blue and yellow lining, and the mature temperament of the Dolce & Gabbana clothing image completely concealed the immaturity of his face. Coupled with his deep and cynical temperament, Angela, who was standing next to him, was fascinated by him and couldn't help but throw herself into Wang Li's arms. She felt that she was so lucky to come to this world and have a boyfriend like Wang Li.
As the most beautiful woman in the royal family, Angela made Wang Li drool after she put on formal clothes. Since Angela's "dedication", after so many days of development by Wang Li, her figure has become more attractive. Wearing that light red dress, with some decorations on her head, coupled with that innocent temperament, there is no doubt that this is the princess in the comics, who makes people feel reluctant to desecrate - of course, this makes men want to conquer her even more!
Wang Li was even reluctant to let her wear this dress in front of everyone. This might be the possessiveness in a man's heart.
When Bridget drove his MG Rover and stopped at the door of the villa at Stamford Bridge, he saw Wang Li and Angela walking out arm in arm. He was almost dazzled by the couple and thought to himself that no wonder Wang Li had so many female fans cheering for him. He thought about the scene of himself standing with Furtado and compared them, he really felt there was some gap.
Only after getting on the bus did Wang Li introduce: "Annie, this is my teammate Wayne, the bad boy of England."
"Alan, don't slander me. I am a serious man." Bridger was driving in the front seat, and said with a conflicted heart. If Angela was not in the car, he would definitely have cursed out a British curse directly. However, in front of the beautiful woman, Bridger still maintained his "good image".
"Rooney told me yesterday that today's cocktail party was going to be very lively. Do you want to go hunting for beauties again?" Wang Li retorted with a grin.
"How could that be? I just went to take a look. I am already satisfied with Furtado."
"Puchi~..." Angela laughed out loud as she watched the strange conversation between the two. This was the first time she met Wang Li's teammates, but she had a good impression of Bridger, who could at least drive them to Manchester - yes, in Angela's mind, she had now positioned Bridger as a free taxi driver.
It is worth mentioning that Bridget's driving skills are still very good. It only took them about an hour and a half to reach Manchester. But when the three of them arrived at the cocktail party in the villa, it was already crowded, even more than an ordinary press conference. Fortunately, the living room of the villa was large enough, so it did not seem crowded.
When Wang Li and Angela entered the hall, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on this golden couple, and there was even two seconds of silence in the hall. At this moment, many people felt ashamed of themselves when looking at their partners. After a while, the 'sly-looking' Bridget also walked in from behind them, which made the crowd in the hall react. However, they all looked at Bridget with murderous eyes, obviously blaming him for ruining the perfect picture.
The Beckhams, Colleen and several familiar friends also hurried over to greet them. After the introduction, the familiar friends also got to know the little Princess Angela, who is known as the most beautiful woman in the English royal family.
After a while, Victoria, Colleen and several other familiar family members of the stars pulled Angela aside to talk. Judging from the laughter coming from there, it seemed that they were having a very pleasant chat. Taking this opportunity, Beckham and Rooney also helped Wang Li introduce some friends who were present.
C. Ronaldo, Van Nistelrooy, Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand and other Manchester United stars gathered together to chat and laugh. It seemed that Rooney had just joined Manchester United, but these teammates were very friendly to him. They all came to participate in this party. After the introduction, Manchester United captain Roy Keane took the initiative to take him to another gathering of stars. Wang Li looked at them. Among these players, he only knew England's national goalkeeper David James. Being able to be with James, it seemed that they were all Manchester City players.
Sure enough, after Robbie Keane's introduction, Wang Li also got to know them: a strong, black man was Manchester City's first striker Nicolas Anelka, and others included defenders Gabriel Heinze, Patrick McCarthy, Danny Mills and so on.
After Beckham's explanation, Wang Li realized that although the two teams in the city of Manchester were in opposition, there had always been some communication between the players of the two teams. The two teams coexisted in Manchester, perhaps because they appreciated each other. Anyway, these players often got together privately, and the fierce confrontations and even scolding and beatings between the two teams on the field did not affect their private friendship at all. This made Wang Li feel a little incredible, and he had to admire the professional ethics of these traditional Europeans, who completely distinguished work and life.
"Alan, you haven't scored many penalties recently. I still want to be the top scorer in the Premier League this season. After seeing your goal statistics, I have lost all my confidence." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Anelka immediately started the conversation and said it jokingly, but this was also what he was thinking. In the first three games, Anelka scored three goals for Manchester City, but when looking at the scorer list, Chelsea's Alan Wang has already scored six goals, which is really discouraging.
"Nicholas, don't even think about it. Look at that monster at Chelsea. He has scored 5 goals. Chelsea's forward line is too strong this season." McCarthy said sarcastically with a smile.
Wang Li curled his lips and smiled, but didn't say anything. It was obvious that although the two spoke directly, they didn't mean any harm to each other. At this time, he saw many beautifully dressed women in the hall staring at this side. Wang Li turned his head to take a look, and was shocked several times in a row. He immediately turned around and looked at Rooney in confusion.
Rooney turned around and explained to Wang Li jokingly, "Those are some female stars over there. These little stars have always been inseparable from football. You are so handsome and promising. They can't wait to eat you up and make some scandals with you. With your fame, they can become more famous. What do you think, Alan, are you interested in meeting them? Maybe I can let you experience a night of ecstasy?"
"Wayne, you are so mean. Angela is here. You don't want Alan to have a quarrel with her. Hehehehe, I'll go by myself first. Those women don't look like they dare to come over." Bridge smiled witheringly, then raised his glass and walked in that direction.
In fact, those little stars really wanted to eat up Wang Li. This newly rising British football star not only had superb football skills, but also had first-class looks, a promising future, and good looks. In their eyes, Wang Li was simply the British version of a diamond bachelor. Even if they were deeply involved in it and wanted to spend their lives with Wang Li, it would definitely be a good choice.
But today, Angela and Wang Li came together, so they didn't dare to seduce this handsome guy openly.
The British royal family still has a huge influence in the upper social circles. If the little princess wants to make it difficult for them to get into the entertainment industry, it would be a very easy thing to do.
Just when Beckham, Wang Li and several Manchester United players were chatting and laughing, Rooney entered the hall with an unexpected guest. Many people present did not know him, but Beckham and Wang Li went to greet him.
