Chapter 996: Costume Change
"I don't know."
Hearing this, Katerina secretly breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head and said, "Mark and I have known each other before the end of the world, and no one around me knows him except me. ”
Hearing Katerina's answer, Lin Cheng frowned slightly, "That's weird, since no one around you knows him, how did he enter this manor smoothly and come to your villa unimpeded?" I've just learned about the guards of this manor, and I don't think such a soft guy would have the ability to come here to meet you like no one. ”
"It's actually quite simple."
Seeing that Lin Cheng didn't seem to believe it, Katerina glanced at Maxim behind her, and suddenly reached out and touched him in his arms, and then saw her holding a white invitation card from the other party's arms and saying to Lin Cheng: "Every time the manor has a banquet, I have to invite many powerful people in the city, although Lord Luca knows most of them, but it is impossible to remember everyone's appearance clearly. Therefore, if these capable people want to participate in the banquet, they need to have an invitation written by Lord Luca himself, but because the workload of writing the invitation is really huge, Master Luca handed over some of the invitation writing work to me. So as long as you have an invitation to a banquet at Sass Manor, whether it's written by Lord Luca or me, the guards will let them go! ”
"So, the person on this invitation is not actually on the list, but a 'fake invitation' that you made for your little lover, right?"
After taking a few glances at the invitation card handed over by Katerina, Lin Cheng closed the invitation and asked her.
"Nope."
But Katerina shook her head, "Whether these invitations are written by me or Master Luca, they will eventually be compared with the names on the list, so the total number of invitations in the end will not be more or ......less."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows, completely confused by this woman, "Since the number of invitations is consistent with the list personally checked by Master Luca, then how did you stuff your little lover into it unknowingly?" ”
"Quite simply, the name Maxim was originally a pseudonym, and the identity I arranged for this pseudonym was a junior of my family."
As if thinking of something funny, Katerina was no longer as nervous as before, and replied with a light smile: "My relationship with Lord Luca ...... How to put it, in name only! Before the end of the world, our marriage was actually in name only, the reason why there was no divorce was mainly because of career factors, the union between me and Luca was actually the marriage of two big families, although Luca was good to me in the first few years of marriage, but men...... You know. After that, we basically went our separate ways, and we didn't see each other much unless we had a formal dinner or something. Because of this, Lukka was not familiar with the members of my family, and after the end of the world, he completely cut off contact. The reason why he has not kicked me out of the Sass estate until now is because I am the only person in the whole Baikal City that he can completely reassure me is still alive, and no matter how rapidly his power is expanding now, he still needs me like this. It is precisely because of this that he doesn't really care about some things for me, for example, if I want to invite someone to a banquet in the manor, I only need to tell him the identity of this person, and he will help me add the list, but after the banquet, he never took the initiative to ask me if anyone had come. After all, he doesn't care about me anymore, so how can he care about the juniors of the family I invited? ”
"Okay......"
After listening to Katerina's explanation, Lin Cheng nodded a little speechlessly, he hadn't been in much contact with these things in the aristocratic circle before, and today was a complete eye-opener, "So Maxim is real in this manor, but everyone doesn't know what he looks like, right?" ”
"That's right."
Nodding her head, Katerina, who explained the relationship between herself and Master Luca in one breath, seemed to let go of her burden, and took the initiative to reach out to Lin Cheng for a cigarette, lit it and took a deep puff, the rich smoke slowly spit out from her sexy red lips, and with her beautiful face, Lin Cheng was stunned.
Retracting his gaze, Lin Cheng coughed lightly and stood up and said, "Since this is the case, then the next thing will be easy to do!" ”
As he spoke, he beckoned to Maxim, who was crouching in the corner, and motioned for him to come over.
"Yes...... Can I help you? ”
Cowering and moving to a position nearly two meters away from Lin Cheng, Maxim refused to go any further, and asked while holding his abdomen, which was still painful.
Without answering him, Lin Cheng glanced up and down a few times with his chin on the suit he was wearing, which looked quite expensive, and suddenly said, "Go, take off this set of clothes on you!" ”
"Huh?"
Hearing Lin Cheng say that he wanted to undress himself, Maxim suddenly had a question mark on his face, and he didn't know what this terrible Chinese wanted to do.
"What, do you want me to help you take it off?"
Seeing Maxim's bewildered virtue, Lin Cheng's expression turned cold, and he reprimanded him impatiently.
"No...... No, no, no! ”
Listening to Lin Cheng's murderous threat, Maxim trembled, waved his hand again and again, didn't dare to say any more nonsense, and quickly ran to the bathroom to take off his clothes.
After a while, Maxim, who had stripped himself of only a pair of underwear, walked out of the bathroom tremblingly, handed over the suit in his hand to Lin Cheng, and hurriedly ran to the bed to grab the sheet and wrap it around him.
Holding Maxim's suit, Lin Cheng threw a look at Leah, and then walked directly into the bathroom and closed the door.
Two minutes later, Lin Cheng, who had finished changing into a suit, walked out of the bathroom, walked to the mirror next to the door and took a few looks, and found that as he expected, this suit did fit him very well.
"You should wear a suit that matches your temperament."
Looking at Lin Cheng who was standing in front of the mirror to sort out his clothes, Leah suddenly stepped forward and said softly while helping him sort out his tie.
Looking at Leah, who had a soft face, Lin Cheng grinned and said, "It's a pity that it's the end of the world, and this kind of clothing can't bring me any benefits except that it will hinder me from fighting." ”
Without waiting for Leah to reply, Katerina, who had been sitting next to her and quietly observing, suddenly spoke, and saw that she was looking at Lin Cheng with admiration, and at the same time said to him in a regretful tone: "Your temperament is very special, and your appearance is also very handsome, I really don't understand why a young man with your strength and temperament must go to Luca's old fox for trouble." With your strength and appearance, even we can have your own place, why do you want to make such a decision that is almost equivalent to death? ”
