Chapter 302 Duplicity
At the New York Embassy and Consulate, it was already late at night, and Mr. Kobayashi was still looking over the script carefully. It was a rough draft, but the general plot was already complete.

She was shocked that Jiang Hanwen's script was so "real".

It's so real that it makes one wonder whether this is really a prophecy, or more accurately, it's more like a memoir or something like that.

She read it from the beginning and gradually became immersed in it.

In the eyes of many people, Gatsby is a mysterious man. There are revelries every night in his mansion. Handsome men and beautiful women, luxury cars and fine wines, bonfire parties, and yachts on the beach form a picture of carnival. The world of feasting and revelry, extravagance and decadence seems to be always filled with a different kind of attraction.

Gatsby never refused anyone. As long as the visitor introduced himself, they could enter and leave his mansion freely and enjoy everything to their heart's content.

Among all the guests, Donald was one of the very few invited. As a person of very prominent background and status, especially as the most popular presidential candidate at the moment, he had no idea who Gatsby was before, as if the other party appeared out of thin air.

There are many speculations about Gatsby. Some say he is a European spy, and some even say he is a descendant of the Middle Eastern royal family. Otherwise, how to explain how he could sweep across Wall Street in such a short time? It is simply a mystery.

However, those who were enjoying luxury here did not care much about Gatsby's secret, and even drank his fine wine and discussed that he was a white glove.

As for what Gatsby himself was like?
In Donald's impression, he seemed to not care about other people's comments and was sincere and enthusiastic, not at all like those so-called upper-class gentlemen, and he even had some intention of trying to please others.

When Donald saw Gatsby for the first time, he was moved by Gatsby's smile. Some people may never have seen such a smile in their entire lives. This smile makes you feel that he is the most reliable person in the world.

This makes the outspoken presidential candidate very interested in bringing him into his advisory team, and of course, the huge amount of capital he owns.

In addition, Gatsby's speech is also very distinctive. He chooses his words carefully and is extremely cautious. Although he looks elegant and handsome, he is always interrupted by a feeling of uneasiness. It was not until he met Donald several times that he told Donald shyly that he had a first love named Jenny, and although they had been separated for many years, he could not forget her.

Gatsby said that he was Jenny's distant cousin and came from an old and wealthy family. He was the only heir of the family and his family property was countless. He studied at Oxford University and served as a lieutenant in the army. He also showed Donald the "evidence" he carried with him, which was somewhat like trying to cover up something.

But Donald did not expose him. The adult world is not black and white. Some things are better left tacitly understood. He just lamented the young man's infatuation.

The two drank and talked happily on the terrace of the manor, talking about everything.

"Gatsby, I once had such a love~~"

The blond brother shook his wine glass and seemed to be lost in memories.

"cheers!"

Gatsby smiled and raised his glass. He had no intention of dismantling his friend.

Although this old man in his seventies is a world-famous playboy and has slept with more supermodels than he has ever seen.

But who says playboys don’t have love?
"Of course, you are the most infatuated man I have ever seen~~"

The blond old man curled his lips, indicating that he was defeated.

For the woman named Jenny, this guy spent five years buying the mansion opposite her, just to be able to watch her from afar.

Over the past year, Gatsby has been partying in his mansion every night, hoping to attract Jenny to visit one day, but she has never appeared before.

So he had to ask himself for help and asked him to invite Jenny to his home so that they could meet. Faced with Gatsby's earnest plea, Donald could not help but be moved, and he could not refuse.

Just to see Jenny, Gatsby spent so much effort, squandered his wealth without any regret, and waited patiently. Such dedication could not but move people, but Gatsby and Jenny's love had long become a thing of the past.

However, this womanizing presidential candidate really likes Gatsby's story, which is almost a fairy tale like the Arabian Nights in today's New York.

For top people like them, love can be bought and sold, but deep down in their hearts, who doesn't yearn for a pure, flawless love that has nothing to do with interests?

The old man poured himself a glass of wine and listened with interest to Gatsby's reminiscences.
"At that time, I was a poor boy and Jenny was a rich white beauty, and we were in love for a while."

"I joined the army, and when the Afghan war broke out, I was sent to fight. Jenny soon married White George Walker, a man with a distinguished family background. They got married and went on their honeymoon, but she forgot about me as if I had never existed."

The old man was drinking and listening to stories, but after a while he heard snoring.

He turned his head and saw the young man slumped in the chair, asleep. It was obvious that this guy's alcohol tolerance was far from his financial resources.

Mr. Candidate fixed his blond hair, pulled himself together, and walked into the dance floor. Immediately, a group of half-naked beauties of different skin colors rushed over to him.

He looked back at the drunk young rich man and still couldn't understand why he would fall in love with a notorious bitch when all he had to do was to make a move and ten thousand hot beauties would throw themselves at him and swear love to him.

Still a bitch past her prime.

White and Bolton are both members of the ghd super party group, and Mr. Donald is well aware of the dirty deeds in White's family.

"Shet! Fucking love!!!"

He spat fiercely, then stretched out his big hands and began to rub the soft white flesh in front of him.

~~~
White was born into a wealthy family. His family was rich enough to rival a country. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was always arrogant, looked down on others, and spent money like water. He liked to flirt with women for excitement. He had a mistress named Meadow, the wife of Wilson, the owner of a car repair shop. She liked to call White when he was having dinner with Jenny.

Faced with this situation, Jenny was naturally very crazy, but she tried her best to endure it, because she knew very well that she and White were in a family marriage and it was impossible for them to divorce. Even though she understood this, she still couldn't help feeling heartbroken. Of course, this was also human nature.

Although this Mei Duo is just one of her husband's hundreds of lovers
At the beginning, less than half an hour after his daughter was born, White left to find his mistress. Moreover, he himself did not shy away from this matter. He often took his mistress to the streets and greeted acquaintances without embarrassment. Even though White was like this, Jenny was unwilling to divorce. She was the canary raised by the family. The prosperous cage was her home. As for love, let it go to hell. That day, Donald invited Jenny, and she came as promised. Gatsby did not sleep all night and was as nervous as a child. Although Jenny was also a little nervous, she still maintained the elegant posture of an aristocrat. She greeted him calmly and said that they had not seen each other for many years. Gatsby blurted out that it would be exactly five years in November.

"You are strong, because you don't love me; I am weak, because I love you." This sentence is probably very appropriate for Gatsby now. He has always kept the day of separation in mind and can say it accurately without thinking.

Five years, more than a thousand days and nights, are enough to change a lot of things. White blatantly cheated on her and ruthlessly trampled on her dignity. When Gatsby, her old lover, appeared with great affection, Jenny's feelings seemed to be awakened in an instant, so she accepted him.

When Jenny accepted Gatsby, Gatsby suddenly shone, exuding youthful vitality and a sense of happiness. He took her to visit his mansion. It was drizzling, and the two looked at the surging sea. Gatsby said, "You can see where you live from here. There is always a green light at the end of your dock."

In the past, this green light was always out of reach, but now the green light seems to be right beside him. Jenny is the starlight in the long dark night, who has accompanied Gatsby through many years, and the green light is the comfort in his heart.

In fact, Jenny is certainly not that perfect. There are many things that disappoint Gates. It’s not that Jenny is not good enough, but that he imagined her to be too perfect and his expectations were too high, so the reality will become reality.

In fact, Gatsby was not a nobleman. He was born in a poor family. His parents were farmers and were very poor. However, he had great ideals and suffered a lot for them.

When he fell in love with Jenny, he forged his identity and dared not show his true face. Perhaps it was because Jenny came from a prominent family and had an upper-class lifestyle that Gatsby did not have, a vulgar and flashy beauty.

In a deeper sense, it is the yearning of one class for another. Gatsby may really love Jenny, but he loves Jenny from the upper class more. Jenny is the most effective channel for him to cross classes. Although he himself may not admit it, or even realize it, the truth is so vulgar and cruel.

The story of the Frog Prince and Snow White can often only exist in fairy tales. Jenny eventually left Gatsby and married White, who was a perfect match for her. Gatsby began to wander around, determined to become a wealthy man and then come back to find Jenny.

While wandering, Gatsby met Old Charlie, a financial tycoon in his seventies. Charlie found that Gatsby was intelligent and ambitious, so he kept him to work by his side. Gatsby lived up to expectations and grew into a wealthy man in just five years.

Now Gatsby got what he wanted, and Jenny finally came to his mansion, but she was not happy, and even a little disgusted.

There was revelry every night in the mansion, and champagne and delicious food were constantly served, but the noisy chatter seemed particularly vulgar, completely different from the old-fashioned social etiquette she was familiar with, which made her somewhat unacceptable.

Xu Zhiyuan said that everyone comes into this world with prejudices. If you don't have prejudices, then you have no way to look at the world. Of course, Jenny also has her own prejudices. She is a noble lady from a famous family, so she naturally has prejudices against the common people. Even though Gatsby has become rich now, she still looks down on him from the bottom of her heart.

Gatsby had been in the world for many years, so he knew Jenny's thoughts, and he commented on her, "Her voice is full of money." Jenny's voice was as sweet as a silver bell, containing the charm of money, just like a princess in a white palace, distant and white, fascinating, and it is the ultimate dream that many people strive for all their lives.

Jenny's family once made Gatsby feel inferior, and poverty made him servile. Now that he has become rich, he wants to regain his former dignity. He hopes very much that he can marry Jenny, own her openly, and hold a grand wedding in Jenny's family.

In today's society, which is oriented towards money and material things, it is not surprising that Gatsby has such thoughts, just like his occasional tension and anxiety, which are evidence of his poverty and humbleness. Unfortunately, although Jenny accepted him, she only regarded him as a lover, just like White had a mistress, but he would never destroy his family for her mistress, because behind them is the entire family.

No matter what, White and Jenny are the epitome of the upper class. Their union was unbreakable at the time, and White didn't take Gatsby seriously at all. He didn't think Jenny would leave him and abandon her family, just like he was seeking pleasure and excitement, but would eventually have to go home.

In White's eyes, Gatsby was just a nobody who made a lot of money by some shady means. After all, he was just a glove, making a little money by doing shady things. He didn't know when his company would go bankrupt.

Facing White's questioning and ruthless revelation of his past, Gatsby looked nervous and Jenny was terrified. He wanted to explain, but the more he spoke, the less Jenny listened and she kept backing away.

It was obvious that Jenny was going to give up Gatsby, and White generously let Gatsby send Jenny home. He knew very well that a toad could not eat swan meat.

At this moment, an accident happened. Jenny was upset and accidentally hit and killed Meadow. The reason was that Meadow wanted to talk to Jenny, but Jenny obviously didn't want to pay attention to her. When a car from the opposite side passed by, Meadow lay in a pool of blood, and the panicked Jenny frantically stepped on the accelerator and left the scene.

Gatsby, who no doubt witnessed all this, sent the distraught Jenny home, and then stood guard at the door in vain. He was willing to do everything, including talking back for her, but Jenny never wanted to see him again and planned a conspiracy with her husband White.

Meadow's husband, Wilson, the owner of the repair shop, was instigated by White to believe that Gatsby had hit and killed Meadow, so he broke into Gatsby's mansion with a gun and killed him. This was something no one expected. Gatsby loved Jenny so much that he lost his judgment, which led to the tragedy.

The matter was left unresolved, Wilson was described as having "abnormal behavior of grief", and Gatsby's death became a simple murder case. No one cared about the dead Gatsby, and no one took care of his funeral. Jenny and White went out to travel that afternoon, without leaving behind any attachment or affection.

The world is a dream, and Gatsby's appearance is just like that. Those luxurious banquets disappeared, and everyone returned to their own places. No one remembered him. Only Donald, the matchmaker, witnessed everything. He stood by Gatsby and took care of his funeral.
【Finish】

“This is a really bizarre story.”

Gatsby's death horrified Lin Leqing. She was surprised at the deformity of society and the corruption of human hearts, even though she was almost in such a circle.

But I still find it hard to understand. Those people seem to be upper class, but are actually selfish and indifferent. They break other people's things, ruin other people's lives, hide in the fortress of money, and live a miserable life every day.

She rubbed her eyes, looked at the light in the living room which was still on, then got up and picked up the blanket.

Once this guy gets into work mode, he really forgets to eat and sleep.

She also didn't know whether Jiang Hanwen really intended to save the young lover or just wanted to muddy the waters.

He keeps saying that he despises capital vampires like Gatsby, but he seems unable to help doing the opposite.

Just like his so-called money-making movies or short plays.

Is it really because the shooting conditions do not allow such a rush to finish the work?
Most likely not, but I hope that the young Mr. Gatsby can wake up in time after watching the play and not let the ending of the play come true.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. For this idiot who is in love, it will be useless to just give a verbal warning.

"Fell asleep?"

Mr. Kobayashi shook his head and covered the man lying on the desk with a blanket.

"A duplicitous man."
