Chapter 2383: A little thoughtful, but not much
When she was wondering, the other party took the initiative to speak and introduced herself, "Hello, I am Zhou Si's cousin, my name is Julia Lantes, nice to meet you."
Marcy paused, memories flashing through her mind like lightning, and she finally remembered where she had seen this person before.
Just before, the night Zhou Si fell ill.
On her way back to the dormitory, she met this blonde girl and Zhou Si talking on the school path.
At that time, she mistakenly thought that it was Zhou Si’s girlfriend!
So she is his cousin?
Marcy reacted quickly and immediately asked, "Is it you who gave me the invitation?"
Julia seemed a little surprised and raised her eyebrows slightly.
This guy reacts pretty quickly!
She then added with a friendly smile, "It's me. Sorry, it's a bit abrupt, but the situation is indeed a bit tense tonight. After thinking it over, I can only find you in this way. Please don't mind."
Marcy looked at her in confusion but didn't say anything in response.
Julia sighed softly upon seeing this and explained, "Something unforeseen may happen tonight. If anything, maybe you can stop Ah Si.
My younger brother has never been liked by our family. He has been excluded since childhood. He is stubborn and easily impulsive. I am worried that he will lose his temper and do something irreparable.
Moreover, he had some traumas when he was a child, so tonight's birthday party may not be so peaceful for him and the Lantes family, and may even lead to conflicts due to past disputes."
When Marcy looked at the other person and said this, her tone was full of concern, but there was a hint of doubt in her eyes, not so firm.
She always felt something was wrong.
She paused for a moment before asking, "Are you concerned about Zhou Si?"
Julia lowered her eyes slightly, her voice low and sincere: "Of course, he is my brother, and he is also a poor man. I know that you are special to him. I asked you to come tonight because I hope that the people he cares about can give him some blessings on such an important day. I believe that if he sees you coming to celebrate his birthday, he will be very happy and unforgettable."
Seeing her sincere words, Marcy nodded and said, "I will. Since he is here, I will certainly celebrate for him."
This was also one of the reasons why she came here tonight.
I just hope nothing bad happens tonight and he can have a happy birthday.
Julia smiled and said, "That's good. I feel relieved now."
She chatted with Marcy for a few more words, and then was called away by someone not far away.
As soon as the person left, Xiao Ba immediately approached Ma Xi and whispered to remind her, "Miss Ma Xi, this person seems to be a little strange. I have investigated this person. Although she has no conflicts with Zhou Si, their family is eyeing Lanster covetously. Don't be fooled."
Marcy had already noticed it without him reminding her.
This Julia is behaving really strangely.
Although the tone of the conversation just now sounded friendly and natural, Marcy always felt that the smile did not really reach her eyes.
She seemed to care about Zhou Si, but she seemed to have other intentions when she called him over.
Marcy couldn't explain what the specific intention was.
But intuitively, she felt that this intention might not be good.
Does the other party have any plan?
And is this person really on good terms with Zhou Si as she said?
Although Marcy is simple, she is very smart and can still see that the other party's intentions are not pure.
Zhou Si didn't even invite her here, but she tried every possible means to get her here in this way.
Are there still good people in Lantusi?
She was really doubtful.
At this moment, Xiao Ba suddenly spoke up to remind her, "Ms. Ma Xi, it's Mr. Fu and Mr. Jiang who are here."
Hearing this, Ma Xi subconsciously looked towards the door.
The next second, I saw a group of familiar faces walking in.
Fu Sichen and his wife, Jiang Mojue and his wife, and... Di Shijing and his wife.
Marcy's scalp suddenly went numb and she remembered this.
It’s over, it’s over. I was so focused on worrying about Zhou Si’s safety tonight that I forgot that this kind of high-society occasion would be attended by these bigwigs.
I came here with a purpose tonight. If I get caught by them, they won't complain when they go back, right?
It had only been a few days since Yao Xingnuo was kidnapped.
She really didn't want to hold criticism meetings for her family again.
She was so scared that she quickly pulled Xiao Ba in front of her and urged him urgently, "Hurry, hurry, block me, don't get discovered."
Xiao Ba staggered as he was pulled by her. He opened his mouth hesitantly, wanting to give a reminder.
Actually... there's no need for him to hide his face.
Because, if I'm not mistaken, Deputy Sect Leader Pei Yan has probably already greeted them, right?
But in the end he didn't say anything, he just cooperated with her and blocked it.
as predicted.
Lu Wuyou and the others over there quickly looked at Xiao Ba's face with a smile that showed some understanding.
Apparently, several people also noticed Marcy hiding behind Xiao Ba.
Her figure curled up slightly, trying to hide deeper, but she was visible to everyone.
There was obvious amusement flickering in their eyes and the corners of their mouths unconsciously raised, as if they were enjoying an unexpected farce.
Xiao Ba faced them, forced an awkward smile, and nodded his head slightly as a polite greeting.
A few people nodded at him, but showed no intention of coming over. They just stood there and watched with interest.
Lu Wuyou smiled and said, "This little girl has some tricks up her sleeve, but not much. She thinks that we won't see her anymore. Doesn't she know that we still know Xiao Ba?"
Nan Zhiyi said with a hint of sarcasm: "This is not a good way to hide! The position is too conspicuous and can be discovered at a glance. If I had the choice, I would definitely hide behind the green plants nearby."
Wen Xinning nodded slightly and added, "Behind the pillar is also good. That thick pillar can just cover half of the body. Or the balcony outside is also good. It's not easy to get caught."
Jiang Mojue commented with interest, "This girl has grown in ability. The last time I saw her and that boy together, I felt something was wrong.
At that time, they held hands for a long time. This time, it was even more extraordinary. He came alone with his men to kill, blatantly trying to support someone. Tsk! Has half of the water been spilled? "
Lu Wuyou thought the same thing and couldn't help laughing: "If the village chief knew about this, he would probably cry in the toilet."
Fu Sichen frowned, with obvious doubt in his tone, and asked: "The Lantes family is full of lunatics, how can they produce any good seedlings? Brother Yan Jue, why don't you stop them?"
Jiang Mojue immediately took over the conversation and responded seriously, "You're right, I've investigated that guy, and he's really good in every aspect. He's also very capable. Except for the fact that he was in a mental hospital when he was a child, everything else is pretty good. He's a good match for little Masi."
