I was finally relieved after nearly three hours of fiddling with four makeup artists, and I was stunned for a moment when I looked at myself dressed up in the mirror.

The milky white floor-length skirt is just right at the waist, without excessive decoration, showing elegance and elegance. Under the light, the fair and moist complexion is set off, and the eyebrows are slightly hooked, bringing out a little charm, this good face is really a little exciting. If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were completely different, he would be the same as the little princess back then.

It's a pity that the change in a person's heart is so powerful that it can't be ignored, and it only takes one look to reveal the bottom.

It was nearly seven o'clock, and I stood quietly by the window of the room on the second floor and looked down, and the spacious courtyard was already shrouded in luxurious lights, reflecting the blue velvety canopy, like the light of the stars. The finishing touch in the courtyard - the giant fountain pool, woven from the inside to the outside into layers of dense water curtains, water droplets sprinkled everywhere, setting off a flood of colorful streamers.

The courtyard was already filled with many ladies and gentlemen dressed in luxurious clothes, high-end or flamboyant, toasting and talking.

The clothes are fragrant and the sideburns are shadowed, and the crown is gathered.

Zoxi's cocktail party is really high-end and elegant, but it is not overly gorgeous, showing the style and taste of the host everywhere.

I searched around the crowd and sure enough, I found my grandmother.

She was in the middle of the crowd talking to a noble lady with a calm demeanor. I was relieved to see that Zosi hadn't done anything to her grandmother, at least not yet.

At this moment, there was a slow knock on the door, and I had already guessed who it was, so I replied without looking back, "Please come in." ”

Someone pushed the door open, and the soft, woolly carpet obscured his footsteps, but I could feel his breath getting closer.

Finally, he stopped behind me, and his empty tone seemed to blow from a distance, like a question and more like a statement: "Are you looking for someone?" ”

"Hmm." Without concealing it, I nodded and got straight to the point.

"I'm not talking about your grandmother."

Who else is it not grandma? That's amazing. But I was not in the mood to play a guessing game with him at the moment, and turned to face him, anxious to ask something important: "What are you going to do with Uncle Werther?" ”

He looked down and chuckled, "Did I say I'm going to deal with him?" ”

Come on, Zosi, what kind of identity to do, you know this truth better than me, so many people know it, Witt secretly let go of the person who the master of the Furcumens family wanted to arrest, will you let him go and connive at this kind of blatant disobedience to the master's orders to run rampant? Aren't you afraid that your subordinates will eat the marrow and know the taste, and they will become more and more unscrupulous in the future?

Killing chickens and monkeys has always been a favorite thing for rulers to do.

Moreover, judging by the signs that I had been disciplined for disobeying his orders two years ago, and that my grandmother was blackmailing me to obey his arrangements today, Josie Furkmins was not such a merciful ruler.

With a smile on my lips, I looked at him fixedly, the irony of my eyebrows and lips clear.

He saw my disbelief, so he stopped pretending, put his smile back, and said coldly: "Committing such a mistake will make it cheaper for him to sue the old man and return to his hometown early." ”

"What else do you want?" I was taken aback, and my tone was a little eager: "Don't forget, how much Uncle Witte has done to your father, whether it is the affairs of the group or your life, what is he not doing his best?" ”

He tilted his head and half-narrowed his eyes in a languid tone, "So.what? ”

The expression of indifference was like a basin of cold water poured on my head.

Zosi, Zosi, in two years, your ruthlessness has really intensified.

At that time, I only said that he was ruthless when he rejected my love, cruel when he forced me to marry someone else, ruthless when he locked me up, and other than that, he was always a good brother who cared for me gently. But now, his pervasive darkness is becoming more and more strange to me.

Is it because of the identity of the person in charge, or is he such a ruthless person in nature?

What will be my fate in the hands of such a person?

Suddenly, his gaze in the courtyard focused on one place, and I followed his gaze to see that it was Si Tianzhe, who had just arrived at the reception.

Zoshi narrowed his narrow eyes, revealing a faint hostility that puzzled me, and then took my hand, a bloodthirsty smile on his lips: "It's time for us to go down." ”

I stood still, knowing that it might not help, but I couldn't help but speak, "It's all my fault, don't punish Uncle Werther." ”

There was a slight chill on his expressionless face, "Don't you think you should worry about yourself?" ”

The words fell, and the chill was still there. He put my hand on the crook of his heartless arm and walked out of the room.

The protagonist walked slowly down the stairs, which naturally attracted the attention of the audience, not to mention that he was also holding a strange and unknown female companion, with the status and popularity of Zosi, a single nobleman, it is difficult not to arouse people's curiosity, and they have speculated about the identity of the strange lady next to him, I am afraid that tomorrow's gossip entertainment weekly will be a commotion again.

Following the spotlight down the stairs, Zosi led me to a microphone and stood still. The crowd of people in the audience made me a little dizzy.

Zosi was very accustomed to this kind of occasion, and pulled away a faint official smile with ease, elegant and very heroic, "Friends, thank you very much for coming tonight, and I hope the Flemmings family's cocktail party will bring you an unforgettable night." ”

The audience applauded thunderously, and I focused my eyes to look for my grandmother's figure without a trace, and finally, I saw the shocked look in the crowd.

I looked at my grandmother with a soothing look and gently bent the corners of my mouth to signal her reassurance.

“…… At the same time, I would like to take this opportunity today to introduce you to a ......"

Zosi turned to me without any waves, the corners of his lips still pouting with the same official smile, but my heart sank.

In a moment, he withdrew his gaze from the audience, and heard the familiar voice convey a message that shocked the audience: "My sister, Miss Ruori Furkmins." ”

As expected, there was a shock and uproar in the audience.

Now, I lowered my eyes slightly, unwilling to accept the shocked or inquiring gaze of the room.

The initiator of the group shock, Zoxi, looked at me sideways, his eyes were actually dyed with something that can be called warmth, and his smile became deeper, and he even gently held my right hand folded on my abdomen, this series of facial movements, in the eyes of outsiders, will have an illusion that is very similar to some kind of ritual between lovers.

My hand was stiff, and he held it very unnaturally.

For a long time, out of consideration for her safety and other factors, the Furcumens family has never made the identity of Ruori public, which has caused many media speculations and questions from friends. Tonight, on behalf of the family, I would like to introduce to you my little princess, the pearl of the Furcumens family, and I hope that you will support her and like her, just as you have always supported me. ”

The sparse applause rang out, and everyone seemed to have not recovered from the shock, and gradually, the applause became warm and enduring.

Slightly raised my eyelids and looked at the audience, I didn't have to speak, Zoshi had already said everything I should have said and shouldn't say in my place, I just had to nod and smile, and stand aside to make a vase with an elegant smile without opening my mouth.

Eyes intertwined in the many shocked eyes that had not yet dissipated, I was not surprised to bump into Si Tianzhe, and he was also surprised in his eyes, but what was deeper was that the meaning that had been engraved for a long time was unknown. It's the kind of ambiguity that he often appears when he looks at me, or rather, only when he looks at me.

How familiar, yet decidedly different.

It's just that his emotions are only willing to be written in the pupils of his eyes, and he always maintains a face that does not change anytime and anywhere.

I looked away, and my right hand was gently covered by Zosi's left hand, and I realized that there were more pairs of people in the audience hugging and dancing.

The romantic dance music and the light dancing make one suspect that this is a beautiful evening of harmony, but if anyone looks into my eyes without the slightest smile or sees through the hypocritical face of Jossi, they will see that this is not the case.

With his superb dance steps, I finally couldn't help but speak: "The play has been performed with you, it's time to see the dagger, right?" What is the purpose, please say it directly. ”

"Ruori ......," he chuckled and lowered his head, "Why spoil the atmosphere at the moment, I remember that you used to like gorgeous parties and lively scenes the most." ”

I chuckled and looked at him sarcastically, "I used to hate being manipulated, too. ”

He didn't pay attention to what I was referring to, but asked casually, "You have been very close to that Si Tianzhe recently?" ”

Casting my gaze into the unknown air, I didn't answer him, but my heart jumped.

"Well, you know that I have always kept your identity extremely secret, because you are my weakness, I am afraid, I am afraid that you will be caught by those who covet our family business, and then threaten me, threaten the entire family, and the consequences will be unimaginable." His eyes suddenly became serious, and he said slowly, "But now, I can protect you." ”

His expression and tone seemed to have a sense of promise.

Hold my hand tighter, "When my foundation in the family is not yet solid, I don't have enough strength to protect you, so in the past two years, I have been trying to make myself strong, strong enough to protect you under my wings anytime and anywhere, so strong that I don't need to give you away anymore......"

His eyes burned, and there seemed to be countless emotions circulating in the middle, but I no longer believed any of the emotions he revealed. The gentle and considerate brother has turned into a demon who brutally persecuted and imprisoned you, and those scenes are still vivid.

I just kept a calm complexion and didn't talk.

"Originally, I wanted to announce your identity to everyone after a while, when my power was more consolidated, but there seem to be a lot of people who covet you, especially that Si Tianzhe, he made me feel threatened, so I was in a hurry to announce that you were mine to everyone." He smiled again, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes, "You should have noticed, I just called you 'my little princess', take your time, and I will prove to the world step by step that you are mine." ”

I smiled, bright and sincere, "And then, give me away casually for some purpose?" My brother is really well-intentioned. ”

It's just that he mentioned Si Tianzhe, has he been watching me in the dark?

Zosi's face changed a few times when he heard this, and finally fixed on annoyance.

The end of a song.

The people who hugged and danced on the field dispersed one after another, and Zoxi's brows were slightly furrowed, but he didn't leave.

After a while, he finally sighed, "Ruori, I think we should find a quiet place to talk." ”
