For four days after that day, Zosi didn't appear, at least not in my field of vision.

He goes out early and returns late all day long, as if he is very busy, and as if he is deliberate.

He imprisoned me in the whole Furcummings house, and I simply narrowed the scope to the ground, and stayed in my room, and he never came to my room again, so that I could not see each other, but I was also complacent.

Just, four days.

In this seemingly brief moment when I was completely cut off from the outside world, I know how much turmoil and how many overthrows have erupted.

In the evening, a few servants brought dinner as usual.

I sat by the window and flipped through a book—indeed a book, and for four days I was so disturbed that I could not read in peace.

The servants filled the table with sumptuous food and withdrew, leaving only a little girl, who bowed respectfully, "Miss, dinner is ready, please dine." ”

Hearing this, I looked up and smiled, "Thank you." ”

The maid who came to my room to deliver food and clean the food was changed every day, because the people I saw every day were different and strange, and they were definitely not those in the house two years ago, and of course this was the first time I had seen them today.

The little girl had probably just arrived, seventeen or eighteen years old, and she was stunned for a moment when she heard my words, but she was not shy, "Miss don't have to be polite, the young master has told you to take care of Miss with all her heart." ”

"Really?" I said as I flipped through the book.

"Yes," she said, turning to clean up on her desk, "even on days when Miss is away." The room should be cleaned every day, the sheets and bedding should be changed at any time, the clothes in the lady's closet should be washed at any time, and even the flowers in the vase have never been broken......

Gazing at a few eyes, I couldn't help but chuckle, Zhou Puyuan in the thunderstorm? It's a good example of nostalgia.

Together with his request to dissolve the marriage contract that day, the attitude of the change was very sincere, but all these things happened because of him, and I don't want to be grateful to him.

At night, I stood by the window for a long time, wandering my gaze in the night sky, and my memories were flooding back.

I thought of the days and nights I spent at Stay a few months ago, when I was standing on a certain height in that city, looking at the night sky from afar every night, thinking about how to get the attention of Si Tianzhe and enter Si Shi, steal the first-hand information of Vincent Jensen's visit to China, and change the future I wanted.

I have planned, I have fought for it, I have twists and turns, but what I tried so hard to fight for at that time has now been crushed into powder and drifted into dust.

also caused some unnecessary fetters in vain, why bother.

In the middle of the night, when I pulled my consciousness back, I found that my fingertips were getting colder, and for a moment, a touch of temperature quietly passed through my heart, like the warmth that I had been waiting for a long time in my memory.

In the night air, there was a sudden smell that made people want to sleep.

Coincidentally, there was a knock on the door.

In the house of Furmings, at this point in time, I would not be suspicious of anyone else.

Perhaps I was expected not to answer, but the outsider just meant, and before he could answer, he pushed the door open, and I didn't look back—yes, he should have come.

Standing in the room for a moment, he had no intention of approaching me, and I had no interest in looking back at someone I didn't want to see.

Deadlocked.

Suddenly, I felt that since the reunion, the stalemate between me and him has always existed.

"I heard that you haven't eaten much lately, and you don't eat much." His faint and empty voice slowly came, fading away from the yin owl, fading from the sharpness, in this environment where I had lived with him for many years, for a moment, I actually called back the quiet and distant young man in the past.

I curled the corners of my mouth, and there was no lack of self-deprecation, "I eat all day long, I don't care about anything, so I naturally can't eat much." ”

Silence again.

I hate stalemate, but I like silence, which means I don't have to strain my nerves to figure out how to keep my line of defense from falling apart. Looking back now, it seems like it's been a long time since I've talked to someone without any scruples.

"You want to get out?" There was a lot of truth in Zosi's tone, and I almost wanted to sneer at him, had he thought about it for so long to come to this obvious conclusion?

"This Saturday, Monsieur Bader will be here, and there will be a ball that night, and tomorrow I will ask them to send you some dresses, and you can pick one and accompany me on Saturday night." He finished quietly, as if announcing a notice.

Mr. Bader. I turned around in my mind, presumably it was the head of the Bader family, who is known as the three major families in North America with Furcmings and Stewart, he lives in Canada all the year round, and it seems that he has no shortage of business dealings with Zossy, and this time I am afraid that I will come to the United States to talk to Zosi for in-depth cooperation.

Business matters have nothing to do with me, but it's good to be able to get out and about.

There was a soft knock on the door behind him, and the room was quiet again.

The days of the lockdown are fast and fast, reading books every day to pass the time, and unconsciously it has come to the day of the Balder family ball.

Dressed up, I walked beside the elegant and noble Zosi, a little silent.

The ball was held in a high-class clubhouse, and the four walls were gorgeously lit and decorated, and the scene was comparable to the most extravagant reception I have ever seen.

How can there be a simple person who can be a guest of the Beder family?

The influence of the three major families in North America was evident, and as soon as they stepped into the ball, they became the center of attention, and in the crowd, a man who was toasting and talking to someone saw Zosi and immediately greeted him with a slightly enthusiastic smile.

The man is of medium stature and looks like he is in his forties, and the luxurious tuxedo makes him look calm, elegant and graceful, he directly stepped forward and hugged Zoxi, looking very familiar, "Hi, Zoxi, how are you doing?" ”

"Mr. Beder, long time no see." Zosi politely reached out and hugged him back.

Compared to Badel's reaction, Zosi was much calmer, his official smile was constant throughout, and he only showed more enthusiasm in the rare moment.

"This lady is ......," Mr. Badel turned to me, confused for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Miss Furcumens, is it Miss Ruori Furcumens, the sister of Zoshi?" ”

I smiled acquiescingly, "Hello, Mr. Badel. ”

"What a smart girl." He admired it, and there was no flattery in his words, then he took my right hand and kissed it on his lips, and smiled: "Please enter the venue first, the dance will start immediately." ”
