Chapter 45: An Unexpected Encounter with the Dead (Part II)
Walking into the hall, its own tune came, soothing and melodious, and the atmosphere between the crowd was also harmonious.
Mr. Bader took the stage and announced the official start of the ball.
The tune changes, and "Schlaflied" is sung tactfully.
A couple of men and women embraced each other and stepped onto the dance floor, dancing to the music, gorgeous skirts.
At the big ball, I didn't have a single acquaintance of mine, I have been hiding my identity for many years, and I have been absconding for so long, and now I think about it, I can't help but feel sad in my heart.
I wasn't in the mood to dance, so I was thinking about finding a place to breathe fresh air and get out of his grip when the daughter of a business tycoon and aristocracy came to greet the business tycoon Zosi.
Thinking about the past two years, my mind has indeed changed a lot, the little princess of Ruori used to like the lively scene of the luxurious ball, but now she just wants to stay away.
Turning his gaze slightly, he inadvertently bumped into Zosi's, his face was not as natural as the conversation and laughter just now, and he seemed to stop talking.
The right hand hanging down at his side, the fingertips moved, and something reflected in his eyes was faintly shining in the gorgeous lights of the ball.
I wanted to look away, but I saw him slowly raise his right hand and raise it low, but he froze his movements, becoming a momentary stiffness, as if he wanted to hold something that flashed in the air.
For a moment, so short that I was in a trance, he lowered his hand again and looked away, as if nothing had happened.
I lowered my eyebrows, and at that moment Mr. Bedell came by with a smile and a woman in her prime.
"With such a beautiful young lady as a dance partner, how can you not dance?" He smiled and preached to Zossy.
Zosi didn't answer anything, and I laughed it off.
"By the way, introduce you to both." Beder turned sideways, revealing the woman in a floor-length skirt beside her, her face was beautiful and dignified, not to mention that her temperament was born quietly, and she had a shallow reserve, but her innate nobility had not diminished slightly, making her look a little peerless independent and faintly alienated.
"My daughter, Sara." Bedel smiled and turned to Sara, "These two are Mr. Furcumens and Miss Furcumens, you've heard of them. ”
"Hello." The corners of her lips were torn apart in a shallow arc, and Sara was thoughtful, but she didn't show too much enthusiasm.
Which of the aristocratic ladies and ladies is not enthusiastic about Zosi, with the exception of this Miss Sara, which makes me interested.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Zosi was nothing special, as before, polite greetings.
"Hello, Miss Badel." I did the same, and I pulled the official smile.
Mr. Bader laughed, "Just call her Sara...... I'm going to have a look over there, Sara, and I'll greet the two distinguished guests. ”
Sara nodded, and Beder smiled at us, "May you enjoy tonight's dance." Then he turned and blended into the crowd.
Thinking that this should be regarded as an opportunity, Miss Badel naturally wanted to listen to her father's words and entertain Zossy, and Zosy would not be able to save face and throw away, so I could just take the opportunity to hide aside.
Having made up my mind, I smiled, "Miss Badel, you have a good talk, I'll go sit over there for a while." ”
Without waiting for them to answer, I turned away.
The light in the rest area was slightly dim, I chose a sparsely populated location, sat on the sofa, deliberately away from the figure, of course, I knew that I couldn't really escape, it seemed harmonious and beautiful here, how did I know that all around had already been fortified, these business giants who did not hesitate to die, among them there was naturally no shortage of Zoxi's people, not to mention escaping, only this short moment away from Zoxi's sight, I didn't know that I was stared at by dozens of eyes.
Suddenly feeling thirsty, I got up to get the juice, and just a few steps later, a figure slowly leaned over.
A male voice sounded in his ears, "Miss Furcummings, excuse me." ”
I looked up, and it was Mr. Bader, the protagonist of the ball, standing in front of me.
He gracefully handed over a glass of champagne and said softly, "We might as well go and sit over there." ”
I bowed my head and sat with him in a slightly brighter part of the lounge, but also away from the crowd.
"Is it mishospitality, or is Miss Furcummins not fond of balls?" Badel smiled gracefully and played with his glass beside me.
As far as the eye could see, I was slightly stunned, the Bedell who appeared at this time, and Sara, who was arranged by Beder to chat with Zosi at this moment, made me understand something in a trance, I thought that this Mr. Beder just wanted to talk to Zosi about business cooperation, but now it seems that he has the intention of marrying the two families, he intends to leave Sara to talk to Zosi, and he is still blocking my way without a trace, obviously afraid that I will disturb it.
And this marriage, while finding a good son-in-law, I am afraid that it is nothing more than taking a fancy to the strength of the Furcmings family, so that it is convenient to work together. I smiled and didn't care, but this father's careful arrangement, but his daughter was a little indifferent, and I don't know if I understood it.
"You misunderstood Mr. Beddle," I explained with a smile, "I'm just a little tired. ”
"Miss Furmings' brother must have been a little busy lately." His eyes were fixed on the gently swaying liquid in the wine glass, and he seemed to say casually.
I didn't think it mattered, if he took the opportunity to explore Zosi's business, I wouldn't know about it, "Maybe, I don't care about my brother's business." ”
He didn't pay attention to my answer, but said to himself: "I heard that the relationship between Si's business and the Furmings family has been a little tense recently......
My heart jumped, and I pretended to be calm and said, "Oh? ”
"Suffice it to say," he finally turned his gaze to me, staring at the glass, "because of you, Miss Furmings. ”
My heartbeat had lost its rhythm, and I was stunned, but this consternation was not only from his words themselves, but because he seemed to inadvertently mention Si Shi to me at the moment, telling me that the conflict between Si Tianzhe and Zuo Xi was definitely intentional.
Could it be that he was able to know about the intricate entanglements between me and Si Tianzhe and Zuoxi? And in this case, it seems that he knows a lot.
It's just that I don't know what the reason behind what he said is at all.
Surprised and dismayed, Beder smiled softly and raised his glass to me, "May you have a nice evening." ”
Then he got up and slowly disappeared into the crowd.
The mind is undecided, but now there is more chaos.
Putting aside his hidden purpose, the conflict between Si Tianzhe and Zoxi has also made me feel uneasy, and with the strained relationship that Beder just said lightly, I can guess the sword and sword shadow in it, or more cruel, flesh and blood.
The shopping mall is a battlefield where there is no smoke of gunpowder, and now it is a contest between the two giants, and it is impossible to say that it is necessary to annihilate each other ruthlessly, and the resulting financial turmoil is how many people have suffered.
Sure enough, as I expected, during the week that I was imprisoned by Zosi, the world had already been turbulent, both openly and secretly.
However, since this Mr. Bader intended to have a good relationship with Zosy and then marry, and then told me this in a grand manner, even if he understood the current tension between me and Zossy, and decided that I would not tell Zosi, was he not afraid that this conversation would be heard by others and spread to Zossy's ears and make Zosy suspicious?
What is even more strange is that from the time I spoke with Badel, there was no change in Zosi for half a day.
It seems that the hero is the hero.,Even the people who are arranged at the dance scene are clearly defined.,He just brought me here to sit.,It must be his people all around.,Naturally, no one passed the word to Zosi's ears.。
With such a clever and inseparable opponent, this battle is really chaotic.
I couldn't help but murmur, chaos is not terrible, it is good to be orderly in chaos, but I am afraid that this chaos is clueless at all.
