Chapter 997: Alixa
"You're not the first person to say these things to me, and I don't think you will be the last."
Hearing Katerina's earnest advice, Lin Cheng smiled lightly, didn't say anything more, turned his head to Leah and said, "This little white face will be handed over to you, you don't have to follow me anymore, just stay here and wait for me to come back." ”
"I see."
Hearing this, Leah's face was a little hesitant, but in the end she nodded and didn't say anything, she had actually guessed the other party's plan when Lin Cheng was changing clothes, but she also understood that she was a small person, and saying too much would only attract the other party's impatience.
"Then, Lady Linna, would you please accompany me to the banquet?"
Seeing that Leah understood, Lin Cheng nodded, and then turned to Katerina and said.
"As long as you think it through yourself, then come with me!"
Sighing softly, Katerina, who was inadvertently involved in this turmoil, was very helpless, although she knew very well in her heart that once she brought Lin Cheng into the banquet, it was very likely to cause unpredictable consequences, but now that the situation was stronger than people, she could only obey Lin Cheng's orders, and walked towards the door with her feet raised.
One last glance at Leah and Maxim crouching at her feet, Lin Cheng gave her a cautious look, and then followed Katerina out of the bedroom.
……
"From now on, your name is Maxim, a Chinese-Eros national, and your identity is the boyfriend of my niece Sophia, and the purpose of this visit to the manor is to visit me, and by the way, take some medicine and go back to treat the sick Sophia, understand?"
After leaving the villa, Katerina led Lin Cheng along the bush path in the garden in the direction of the banquet hall, whispering to him as she walked.
"Hmm...... May I ask, is this niece of yours real? ”
After listening to Katerina's explanation, Lin Cheng asked after taking all the details to heart.
"Of course it is! Just ......"
Hearing this, Katerina nodded, and her tone suddenly became a little low, "She hasn't visited me for a long time, and I can't leave the manor without permission because of Luca's restrictions, and now I don't even know if she is alive or dead......
"You can send someone to find her, it shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"
Seeing that the sadness on Katerina's face did not seem to be fake, Lin Cheng's heart moved, and he tried to ask her.
Waving her hand, Katerina cleaned up her mood and said: "I have already sent two groups of people to search for the city, but in the end they didn't find them, even these people I sent out disappeared, and then because of the forgery of Maxim's identity, I didn't dare to send people to search anymore......"
"Aren't you? For the sake of a man, he even gave up his own relatives? ”
Hearing this, Lin Cheng suddenly felt speechless, if this little white face had backbone and responsibility, it would be okay, but Maxim's goods were completely useless waste, but Katerina still gave up looking for his relatives in order to protect his identity, which made Lin Cheng really unacceptable.
"You don't understand."
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Katerina sighed deeply, "This city is far from being as safe as you think, and as Luca's closest wife, I know this point very deeply!" One of the reasons why I gave up looking for Sophia was because I was worried that Maxim's identity would be exposed, and the other most important reason was because Luca was more and more strict on my employment, because I always refused to tell him the specific purpose, and over time, Luca, who was not very interested in me, basically took back all the permissions in my hands, and only kept this villa for me to retire......"
"Okay."
After listening to Katerina's explanation, Lin Cheng nodded, this Baikal City is indeed not as safe as it seems, Katerina's niece should most likely be no longer alive, but Lord Luka obviously doesn't know much about his wife's family situation, so much so that he doesn't know what he can know about after careful investigation, and he has been cuckolded for so long in vain.
Katerina's villa was far away from the banquet hall than Lin Cheng had imagined, and after walking through the flowery garden for a long time, Lin Cheng faintly heard a commotion ahead.
"We're almost there, so you'd better not talk casually, I'll introduce you if you meet anyone, you just need to nod, understand?"
As a retro-shaped banquet hall appeared in front of the two of them, Katerina stopped and whispered in his ear.
"Understood."
Nodding, and was about to enter the banquet hall, Lin Cheng thought about it, and then said to Katerina: "But...... Those who don't matter can avoid it or try to avoid it, I'm only interested in Master Luca. ”
"Don't worry, I'm in charge of this."
Smiling slightly, Katerina stretched out her left arm and limped into his arms, and led him generously into the banquet hall.
As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Lin Cheng felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face, and when he looked up, he saw that this extravagant banquet hall was already crowded with dense crowds at this time, some of these people were dressed more traditionally, the men were all suits and ties, the women were luxurious evening dresses, and the other part of the people looked much more casual, and some even had blood stains on their clothes, as if they had just returned from the battlefield.
Due to the large number of people in the banquet hall, Lin Cheng didn't see too special a figure at a glance, and Katerina's expression on the side didn't change much, obviously she didn't find Master Luca either.
"Hello, Dear Lady Luca."
Just as the two of them were about to go deep into the hall to search carefully, a middle-aged strong man wearing a leather jacket and a cigar in his mouth happened to come over, first glanced at Lin Cheng with some curiosity, and then put down the cigar in his mouth and greeted Katerina with a respectful face.
"It's Alexa, how are you?"
Hearing the greeting of the middle-aged strong man, Katerina immediately showed a dignified smile and nodded back.
"Lord Toluca, I'm doing well now."
With a big grin, Alixa turned his head to look at Lin Cheng and asked tentatively, "I don't know if this is ......?" ”
Looking at the confusion on Alixa's face, Katerina's expression remained unchanged at all, and she replied very calmly: "Oh, his name is Maxim, he is my niece's boyfriend, he came here to visit me today while the manor is having a banquet, and wants to meet Luca, after all, young people still have to do some business, are you right?" ”
