History of Noble Raising

He walked towards the exit without looking back, "Ha, I didn't expect it to be Nat, a repeat of the real tragedy history!"

"Of course I can explain!" Serena took his hand, "I was just..."

"Just what are you doing?" Eric interrupted them, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, Eric," Serena said with a big face on her face, "can't you leave us alone for a while?"

"Your expression clearly shows that I am making trouble," Eric said with a half-smile, "but I have to come over and ask Mr. Humphrey how he got in." He scanned Daniel's clothes up and down with critical eyes, "And it's still in the situation that I haven't done my homework on dressing well."

Daniel obviously felt insulted, "I don't care what I wear, I'm here to see Serena!"

"Now you found Serena," Eric added, "and let her flirt with a poor kid in a blue plaid shirt at a white party?" The person next to him noticed this strange outsider , His clothes are too abrupt here, and the people nearby are pointing at them.

"Eric," Serena tried to interrupt his taunt, "I don't know how you sound more and more like Blair!"

"Please, sister, Blair is my confidant when it comes to Daniel Humphrey." Eric said, "And, I heard that Mr. Humphrey didn't complete his internship all summer, so you come here now Do you want to find your muse back? Could it be that the girls you met during the summer vacation can't satisfy you?"

As soon as Eric finished this sentence, two girls in white dresses appeared in front of them.They each held a glass of vitamin water, but the expressions on their faces were not very happy.Daniel obviously knew these two girls, "Why are you here?"

"I'm here for an appointment," said girl A, "it seems that I'm here at the right time!"

"Since I know her date, I naturally met." Girl B answered.

"Then when we were chatting, we found out that you invited the two of us on the night of the book club."

"When you made out with me," continued Girl A.

"We had an appointment with me." Girl B answered.

"In the end we knew we had run into a scumbag," they all concluded in unison.Then he simply poured the drink on him at the same time, and left neatly.

Serena was dumbfounded by the unexpected farce, and Eric said before she recovered, "It seems that you have no reason to question what Serena is doing now. I am very puzzled, since you have broken up, Mr. Humphrey, what right do you have to blame my sister?" He dragged his sister to the direction of the atrium, leaving Daniel alone to face the unmanageable mess.

It seems that there is a mountain named Eric that has to be eradicated on the way of Daniel Humphrey's recovery of his ex-girlfriend.

quarrel

Eric pulled his sister out, and the fact that he went head-to-head with Daniel and won it made him feel good.He pulled Serena's wrist through the countless small groups at the venue, until he walked into the small woods outside the house.

He decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and after presenting Daniel's many bad deeds in front of Serena, he blackened the good man in her heart into Xiangxiang!

But Serena is unwilling to act according to his script.

"Eric, call it a day," she said.

"what?"

"Your meddling with me ends here," Serena said. "I know you're doing it for your own good, but you can't make decisions for me in the name of my own good. I love Dan, and I can't get over him all summer. Do you know how happy I am to see him today?"

"But as soon as he met you, he asked you to blame him!"

"That was a problem between us, and it was an accident!" Serena argued, "I can explain it to him, and I am willing to explain it to him!"

"Are you so self-deprecating?!" Eric couldn't bear her arguments, "Willing to give up everything for love! Who is Dan?! Poor, mean, angry youth! If you like him, then you can Don't even want self-esteem! You just saw that Daniel Humphrey dated two girls in one night, he is not the infatuated man in your mind at all! He is not that spineless..."

"But I love him!" Serena yelled out of composure. She couldn't help squatting down, tears were already rushing from her eyes, "He is the best person I have ever met. As long as he is still willing to be with me ..."

"If Daniel Humphrey is not what you see at all, if he approached you with a purpose in the first place, if he did a lot of things that hurt you and us all, if he was a hypocrite..."

"It's impossible!" Serena didn't accept Eric's words, she didn't even imagine Eric's assumptions, "Dan is definitely not this kind of person! Eric, I know you don't like him , but you can't slander Dan!"

Eric was so annoyed by her attitude that he couldn't speak, "Okay, your Dan is the best in the world! I won't take care of your business anymore, it's better not to have a sister whose eyes are blinded by outsiders! ’ He turned and walked away, leaving the weeping Serena behind.Eric swore secretly in his heart, everyone waited, he must expose the truth about Daniel Humphrey.

Eric didn't care about the pair of fateful mandarin ducks.The biggest flaw in Serena's character is her lack of resistance to love.Serena would be willing to go with anyone who was decent in looks and body, and showed a lot of love for her.He doesn't care about the other party's background, whether she is married, or whether she has children. She belongs to the sensory school and can sacrifice everything for love.And the more people object to it, the more she has to do it, unless she really hits the south wall, she can turn back.

Eric couldn't change her mind, and he couldn't get Daniel Humphrey out of her heart, and the previous argument broke his heart.Serena can scold him for an outsider, don't believe his words, and refuse his concern.He was angry and angry, and he went home alone and sat in the flower hall to calm down.

He opened his notebook and pretended he was studying hard, but the bulging temples and flushed face brutally revealed the reality of Eric's anger.Even worse, the latest news from Gossip Girl has arrived.

This news is rarely related to Eric.

Gossip Girl put it bluntly: "Lonely boy breaks into a celebrity white party in search of his girl." But Eric van der Woolsen intervenes forcefully in his sister's affair, trying to get the poor boy out .But someone saw the van der Woosen siblings quarrel afterwards, it seems that the lonely boy did not lose his blonde. XOXO." The message was accompanied by a photo of Eric leaving angrily.Now everyone knows that Eric hates Daniel Humphrey, but his sister Serena can't resist the charm of this poor boy.If this had been before the Industrial Revolution, Eric might have been the only male in the family ordering his sister to break up with the poor boy.But now is the 21st century, and in a family like Van der Woolsen's famous woman-headed family, Eric, who is underage, has no right to speak.

Eric saw Daniel's sinister intentions. During the confrontation with Eric, he put himself in a weak position and announced the situation.He compares Eric to a tyrant who interferes with his sister's emotional freedom, and he makes his quarrel with Serena public-making Eric's powerlessness visible to others.Then he can take advantage of the sympathy of being beaten by a mandarin duck and Serena's resistance to take the position again and get close to Serena.Eric can imagine that Serena must be with Daniel now, and they will hug each other and tell each other how much they miss each other.

As long as Gossip Girl is still around, Daniel can always use public opinion to be invincible.

It seems that Eric's plan is about to speed up.

With a new term starting in September, students at Constance and St Jude's have discovered a new gossip website has gone live.The website, called "The Insider," clearly poses as a rival to "Gossip Girl."

The "Gossip Girl" they have subscribed for a long time has always claimed to be the only channel to understand the Upper East Side. It provides all gossip and gossip about the teenagers on the Upper East Side.The latest insider website is also a gossip website, but it covers a wider range of information than "Gossip Girl", and the gossip is stronger.

"The Insider" not only broadcasts the news of Constance, it covers five private schools and several major universities in New York.It uses the young generation of New York's high society as the broadcast content, and divides the sections by region. The information is very comprehensive and updated in a timely manner.Moreover, the "insider" also provides private information services, as long as you can afford a reasonable price, you can get exclusive news from the "insider" in advance.

To give an example, when the new semester started, Blair brought his new boyfriend Duke Marcus back to town, and Blair tried his best to show the Duke's infatuation with her.But a few weeks later, Blair announced an abrupt and amicable split with him, and the duke left the US with his stepmother Catherine.Blair profited greatly from this brief romance - Catherine introduced her to several social clubs before she left, while financial problems eased for the financially troubled Archibalds.According to members of Blair's clique, Blair used information he received from outsiders to solve the Duke incident.

Almost overnight, the number of subscribers to the "Insider" website suddenly soared, and "Gossip Girl" lost ground in the competition.

busy three months

For the next period of time, Eric didn't care about Serena, who lost his love.The impact of the last quarrel has continued to this day, and they live in the same apartment every day, but they can magically not see each other for a month.

According to the news that Eric heard from the side, his sister is still treating her emotional injury, and she never forgets lonelyboy, although she has accepted the fact that the two are not suitable and have broken up.She lives more like a normal high school student now, going to and from school every day, and occasionally shopping.She is trying to adjust herself so that she can start a new relationship when she meets the right person.

Eric does know what Chuck is trying to do to his sister, presumably to inspire her to be the queen of the school or something.He didn't think there was any harm in these things, and since he and Serena were still in a cold war, Eric didn't try to get involved.

He has been too busy recently, his studies - one year to complete two years of credits and exams, his internship - he asked Lily to help introduce an internship in a law firm, and his website - for Gossip Girl And set up the insider.

Eric didn't expect to use this website to achieve goals such as "entering the Upper East Side of New York". After all, he was already in this circle, and he didn't expect a website to bring about such earth-shaking changes—he did It's not a social networking site.So Eric doesn't protect his information website as a strict secret like Daniel Humphrey, and of course he won't be so stupid as to spread that he wants to go to war with Gossip Girl. "The Insider" was actually created by Eric based on Nate's "Observer" news in the later seasons of the TV series.This year, electronic media and traditional paper media are still at war, and many people have not realized that the digital age is unstoppable.Now that the concept of smart phones is proposed, some people may think you are a lunatic. No one would have thought that everyone will be addicted to mobile phones in the near future.

"The Insider" is Eric's plan. He wrote a complete plan by himself, preparing to seize the information market now that wireless networks and smart phones have not yet been popularized.He asked Jonathan to help. The Whitney family has always been rich in technological geniuses. Jonathan has great interest and talent in network technology.Eric also seeks support from Lauren, who has a news media aircraft carrier behind Lauren-Peabody Group is also seeking technological transformation, and Mr. Peabody is willing to inject funds into Eric's project-as a subsidiary of Peabody News from the media to test the water project.

The site operates in a completely different way for Gossip Girl, with ample funding, technical support, and sources of information.Gossip Girl is still limited to gossip and gossip between girls and boys in a high school, but "insiders" has included all high schools, universities, and places where teenagers are willing to go in New York.It has dedicated sections for each area, each school's personalities have their own page, and it provides the latest information on all the parties - a feature that beats Gossip Girl!Add to that the celebrity effect—Blair Hodolph has previously benefited from it—and "The Insider" became the gossip gossip of New York teens for a while.Teenagers are the group that loves the new and hates the old. "Gossip Girl" used to be their favorite because of its unlimited gossip and ulterior motives to sow dissension. Now there is a more professional and informative gossip.

The website appears and it can be forgotten in no time!

Three months later, when it was winter again in New York City, Gossip Girl had fallen from her altar.

Daniel Humphrey sat in front of the computer in frustration, looking at the poor click rate behind his carefully edited gossip, and scratched his hair irritably.His life has been a mess lately, the girl he really loves, Serena, is dating an artist, and despite how much he pretends not to care, he still feels awkward; his sister is rebellious, running away from home trying to break out her career at 15 ; his friend was involved in a nasty joke; and he himself, in addition to causing some trouble at Yale, was also in trouble at the website he had run for many years.

His "Gossip Girl" business is not doing well.Since he met Serena at a party three years ago, he has been trying to find a way to break into the circle of this group of hateful high-class people.He has no advantage in any other way, he has nothing to boast about except his studies, and Serena's circle doesn't value academics.He didn't have any chance to get close to rich people, he didn't attend banquets, he didn't join school clubs, and he didn't have any affection for rich second-generation ancestors.

But he likes Serena.To get close to her, you have to know her circle.

So he created a gossip website, accepting and publishing gossip about Serena's circle, and he gradually became the outsider who knew most of their secrets.Then Serena left suddenly, and Dan didn't hear from her for a whole year.But over the course of the year, his site thrived, becoming a favorite among Upper East Side high school students.

Until Serena returned to New York. "If he doesn't get close to her, he will never have another chance." With this in mind, he put his photo on the website for the first time and gave himself the nickname "Lonely Boy". Serena.There was also his sister Jenny, who was eager to be famous, so at first the two of them had a bundle sale on the website, and Dan tried to accommodate her wishes.He really finds that he has his own power, and through a gossip website, he can seem to do everything.

But now things have changed, and another gossip website has emerged, still called "The Insider".Dan didn't quite understand why they called the site "The Insider," but he had a vague feeling that the name was an allusion to himself.Dan forced himself to dismiss these thoughts as wild, but he still felt that everything that had happened lately was not normal.

He worked as a behind-the-scenes editor of a gossip website for three years, and he has always grasped the scale of all scandals very well. No student made a big problem between them. They would rather solve the problem within a small group than tell their parents. .They would use the platform of Gossip Girl to fight, so that Dan could expand his authority and get more information.He thought he had hidden it well for three years, no one would discover his little secret, not even his little sister would know his other identity.He has never encountered any competitors who are worthy of a threat, and he has come all the way to the present without going through a crisis.He also thought about running Gossip Girl all the way, all the way to college, until he found the right opportunity to announce to everyone that he is Gossip Girl, he is not an ordinary poor boy from Brooklyn, he has the power even Bigger than these guys who grew up with golden spoons in their mouths.

But the plan obviously couldn't keep up with the changes, Dan thought dejectedly, if his subscription numbers continued to fail, soon he would have to shut down the website on which he pinned all his hopes.

There is nothing worse than this.

Fortunately, the annual Thanksgiving has come, and Eric decided to give himself a holiday.Everyone related to him can also take a breath at the same time.School is out, law firms are on holiday, and even websites have filmed what to relax next.So now all Eric has to do is pack up his things and go home to rest.

What a vacation!Since the start of school in September, Eric has been failing repeatedly. He has too many things to do, such as study, exams, internships, website editing... Eric even took time to take the SAT test in the second half of the year. In place, he achieved the expected good results.Moreover, his three-month internship is coming to an end. After the vacation, he only needs to submit a summary report, and he can get a recommendation letter from the firm, plus the recommendation letter he got from the academic journals that published the paper before. , Eric has already met the qualifications for applying to all top universities in the United States.He even made it to the end of November to submit early-admission applications to several universities.

However, Eric does not have too much expectation for early admission. After all, the competition between Constance and St. Jude this year is too fierce, and the number of early admission places in good universities is really limited. Even in St. Jude, there is only one place.

forget one thing, forget one person

The annual Thanksgiving is here again!

According to the piss of the show "Gossip Girl," the arrival of Thanksgiving means that a wave of bad things is approaching.

Eric has made sufficient mental preparations to face the coming disaster. He has prepared a coat and backpack for going out in advance, which contains a list of restaurants that will not be closed on Thanksgiving, and a computer that allows him to go out at any time. A computer that goes online to handle website transactions.

He firmly believes that today will not end as smoothly and warmly as the parents imagined.

For this reason, Eric did not try to go out of the room all morning. He turned his mobile phone to silent, determined to find his yoga mat, and did a long meditation quietly until someone called him out for dinner.Eric is not someone who will be harsh on himself, but recently, his schedule is really too dense, with countless things to do every day, he is so busy that he almost forgets that he is only 15 years old.He was squeezed to only have 3 or 4 hours of sleep a day, and he asked for it all.

Lily had tried to talk to him about things like "15-year-olds don't have to work so hard," or "what kids are thinking these days."She will have a lot in common with Rufus Humphrey recently, their youngest children are both in a rebellious period, and they are too busy to go home every day.But Eric did not exceed the limit that Lily could tolerate—he at least insisted on going to school. In view of his application for skipping grades and early graduation reports, the school allowed Eric to study some subjects by himself, but he had to take all the exams.Eric always believes that if you want to get something, you have to give first. He got up and down for three months, in exchange for a bright future and a sense of accomplishment that cannot be described in words.

But this pleasant feeling didn't last long, until Eric walked into the kitchen to get water.

"So, please tell me now, why are you in my house?" Eric sat on the sofa in the living room, looking at the blonde girl in a red and black checked shirt with sleeves.In front of him was a plate of fresh fruits, such as bananas, cherries, oranges and apples, and a glass of steaming plain water.

The other party took pictures of Eric's disgust and astonishing aura, standing in the middle of the carpet rather pitifully, trying to explain why he appeared in a place where he shouldn't be, "I was kicked out by my partner and now I have no home I can go home. Serena took me in, I slept on the sofa at night, and I just found a place to stay during the day."

"I didn't know that your current situation is so miserable," Eric pouted, and took a sip of water from his glass. "There will be a family dinner here in the afternoon, maybe Serena will let you attend."

"You don't have to worry, I ask Serena not to tell anyone I'm here, so I won't show up to let your mother know." She said dryly, "Please don't drive me away, I really have no other place to go."

"Actually you can go to a homeless shelter, or go to your old friends!" Eric couldn't help sarcasm, "seeing you in my own home is the last thing I want to happen. But since Se Lina promised you, but she told me not to interfere with her decision, I will just pretend that I have never seen you." He grabbed an orange, stood up, turned and walked to the room, "You can continue to live in the apartment." Although he thought that it would be a matter of time before Lily found out about Jenny Humphrey, the mistress of a family would not even know how many people lived in the family.As for Eric, she decided to ignore the self-indulgent girl and went back to her room to continue her meditation.

But what should happen will not stop happening because Eric's interference will be non-interference. In the afternoon, Bart tried to give him some advice.

"I heard that Jonathan Whitney is your good friend," Bart said with a stereotypical face, "and your website partner."

"Uh...I think so," Eric replied hesitantly, he never announced what he was doing, "but I don't know that I'm making a website that everyone knows?"

"Oh, you know," Bart explained perfunctorily, "News in the business world always circulate quickly, and you have been making a lot of noise recently."

"Maybe." Eric didn't quite accept his explanation, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to refute Bart's words.

"I think I, as your elder, might be able to give you some advice for your career," Bart didn't bother with his vague response, "Little Whitney doesn't seem to be very honest with you, given that he's recently been with a man named Hugh Benxia. boy on a date."

"Jonathan and I are just friends! He doesn't need to tell me about his latest date." Eric didn't quite understand why Bart mentioned Jonathan. They were just friends and there was no need to infiltrate each other's private life.

"Maybe," Bart decided to end the conversation. "I think it's important to be honest with partners." With that, he left the room momentarily.

Eric stayed where he was, feeling more and more creepy about the other party just now.Bart knows everything he does, his internship, his job, his website, even the private lives of his partners, maybe even his every text and email!The more he thought about it, the more disturbed he became, and he decided to talk to someone who knew the inside story.

Knowing the father is like a son, who else knows his father best except Chakbas?

Eric found Chuck, who was shaving, and told him about this frightening thing.In fact, Chuck was a good one to talk to as long as it wasn't about Blair.Of course he knew about Bart's bad habits, and he didn't think it would have too bad an impact. After all, Bart's credit investigation team was the best, and his confidentiality work had always been done very well.As a result of this conversation, Chuck took him to open Bart's safe, and Eric found the family's portfolio from it.

He opened the bag marked with his name, and found his communication bill, all phone records, text messages, email content printouts, all documents starting from the birth record, and even the medical records of the nursing home and summer vacation in London!Surprisingly true!There is really a person who will investigate everyone around him, including family members and children, and put them into a complete file for preservation.

Eric stuffed all the documents back into the bag angrily. He sat on the office chair, looked at the other files, and couldn't help reaching out and opening one of them.

Eric didn't make this a big deal, he quietly went through Lily and Serena's past, packed the documents as they were, and put them back in the safe.Maybe he should tell Lily about it, let her know that her husband is a control freak who wants to control everyone around him.But today is not a very good time to fall out.Lily has worked so hard to make them a complete family, and Thanksgiving is a time for family reunions, so at least today is going to be safe.

But today's experience made him remember at least one thing, he saw the record of Lily entering a nursing home when she was 19 years old.Her mother, a woman named Lily Rhodes, was an excellent photographer when she was young, and fell in love with a poor boy, Rufus Humphrey.She was once pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to a boy in a nursing home.

His older brother, a child related to both him and the Humphreys.

He'd been forgetting about it, he'd been forgetting about this person.The time-bomb brother may have been an important character in Season [-], but he's a soy character in the entire story of "Gossip Girl," so Eric keeps forgetting about it.But now that he remembered, he had to settle this matter properly before it happened. He cherished all his family members, including this elder brother who had never met.

After making up his mind, Eric quietly exited the study.

As it turns out, Thanksgiving was never something you could just make it through if you wanted him to.A family war breaks out in the Humphreys, who don't care that this is someone else's house. The father and daughter argue loudly in the living room of the VanderWolsen apartment. Eric vaguely hears the words "disconnect"; There was a crisis in getting along with Allen. Daniel Humphrey, the big mouth, directly revealed her hidden past and ruined the perfect image she had created in front of Allen; Chuck, as a member of the family, went out and never came back , but even if he can come back before dinner, he can only face a few scattered people at the table!This long-awaited family dinner was spent with each other's thoughts.

Investigation and Action

In December, Eric unexpectedly received an early admission notice from Yale University.He didn't expect that even if he applied to college two years in advance, his resume and transcripts would still rank among the top contenders in the country.Of course, the fact that Eric van der Woolsen received the admission notice also meant that no boy in Serena's class was admitted to Yale in advance. In other words, Daniel Humphrey's honor was snatched away by him.

I don't know how hard this young man who thought he was better than anyone else was hit hard?This kind of thing that can make the opponent unhappy should happen more, so that Eric can be happy!

At noon that day, the whole school was filled with a tense atmosphere.Eric didn't realize at first that this was the day when early admission was announced. He woke up early, exercised, and attended classes on time as usual. Until lunch time, everyone turned on their phones and started refreshing the college application website.

He saw Blair clutching the phone with a displeased expression on his face, oh, it looks like she didn't receive the admission notice.But what girl in Constance would dare to pass Blair to get an early admission to her dream school?Could it be Serena? In the first half of the year, she went to Yale's school visit to get angry with Blair, and she was also appreciated by Yale. I heard that they were willing to accept a socialite so that Yale could appear in more news pages.

In addition to the girls, the boys are also discussing who is admitted early.On the Upper East Side, parents allow their children to get in touch with the materialistic world in advance and provide them with enough funds to spend money like water, but they also set high standards and strict requirements for their children. Children want to win face for adults, so they are The school must behave decently, and must be admitted to an Ivy League school, so as to continue the glory of the family.

But this year, the most popular boy at St. Jude doesn't have a good last name. Daniel Humphrey, who has good grades and was a nobody last year who couldn't even get a place at Dartmouth, is now a A writer for The New Yorker and recently made the school soccer team.He has set his university goal to the height of Yale this year, and the entire school seems to have no other competitors who can pose a threat to him.

But what is an accident is something that even the person involved absolutely did not expect but did happen.

Daniel Humphrey has not been notified that he has been accepted early, so who is the person who cut off his beard?

No one would have guessed that the main character Eric van der Wusen secretly hid aside to watch the show!

But this afternoon, the whole incident took a turn for the worse. The VanderWolsen siblings who received early admission from Yale gave up their early admission qualifications at the same time. Serena loved her sister deeply, and Eric, Yale was never his first choice. , he preferred to go to Princeton, and this institution of higher learning also provided an admission notice.

Eric didn't mind giving Humphrey a chance to be happy, anyway, he would lose his admission qualifications because he couldn't afford the tuition and couldn't apply for a scholarship.The happier he is now, the more disappointed he will be in the future.

The time jumped directly to the end of December, and as soon as the holiday was off, Eric stepped directly on the bus to Boston.He started from Mercy Station in New York, crossed Connecticut along the coast road, and drove all the way to Southern Station in Boston.

Some time ago, Eric asked Lauren to find an excellent credit agency and investigated the records of baby boy adoptions in Boston 19 years ago. The other party was very professional and quickly provided a list of qualified ones with Addresses and telephone numbers of all eligible persons.Eric also ran directly to Sissy's residence, holding the nursing home record in his mother's file bag.

Yes, Eric kept the whole dossier affair a secret from anyone but Chuck who knew he had opened the safe.He didn't tell Lily, and he didn't tell Serena.At least he won't tell anyone until he leaves New York this time.

Sissy has been in poor health for the past six months. Although she will not be bedridden, it is not suitable for long-distance travel.Eric tried his best to understand the situation of the year from her mouth. It was just a story of immature young men and women who insisted on loving each other regardless of the gap between families. It was just that they did not take contraceptive measures, and Lily insisted on giving birth at that time.Of course, Sissy would not allow her daughter to be tainted by being born out of wedlock, so she half-compromisedly allowed the child to be born, and then sent the newborn baby out for adoption.

Maybe it was unfair for the children back then to be abandoned by their parents at birth, but for his parents, it was destined not to be able to combine and have a child as a burden, but it was just a continued harm to their lives.Sissy tried her best to assume the responsibilities of a mother—to let her daughter complete her life as if nothing had happened, get married and have children.As for that baby boy, he was just born and has no memory. As long as he finds a suitable adoptive family, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life, and live happily like any ordinary child.

except
