Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2399 I am not worthy of her

Marcy didn't notice.

But Xiao Zhi next to him keenly caught something, his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he couldn't help but click his tongue.

Zhou Si's eyes gave him a stern warning.

Xiao Zhi then restrained his smile and tried hard not to show it.

Everyone had had their fun, the birthday was over, and it was finally time to go home.

It's too late tonight, so Marcy plans to stay here and stay with Charlene for one night.

As for Xiaobai, Vincent will take over.

Zhou Si prepared to return to his old house.

After Xiao Zhi found out, he moved back to his apartment near the school.

After everyone left, the car door was gently closed, isolating the remaining heat from the outside world.

The laughter and joy just now seemed to evaporate in an instant, and the car was dead silent.

He leaned back in his chair, the relaxed look on his face suddenly faded, replaced by a gloomy and sinister look, his eyes as cold as ice.

He turned to his assistant and asked, "Who took action when we left tonight?"

The assistant said truthfully: “After handing over to Mr. Jiang’s people, as expected, there were some people who took advantage of the situation among Isa and William’s people, and there were several waves of people.

Tonight, although our people were on high alert, fully armed and lying in ambush in the dark, the situation was more dangerous than expected, and... Mr. Jiang and his people acted too quickly, stopping the enemy in an instant, without giving us a chance to perform.

However, their dispatch did confuse the enemy, making them think that our people were in charge. Now, they must be confused when they receive the report."

At this time, in the Lantes mansion, David was called to the study by the old man to be lectured.

Isa and William were still anxiously waiting for news in the living room.

Isa paced back and forth, glancing outside the gate from time to time. She was nervous and couldn't help asking William, "What's going on over there? Did the assassination of Zhou Si succeed? Why is there no news at all?"

William shook his head and said, "I don't know, no one has reported it yet."

Isa frowned.

This isn't right. So much time has passed, there should be news.

As he was speaking, news came from his subordinates.

The other party reported in a panic: "Madam, tonight's operation has completely failed!"

Madam Isa's elegant face was almost distorted, her delicate eyes almost spitting fire, and she asked in a cold voice: "Why? With so many of you, can't you even kill one person?

You are really the worst of the worst. What's the point of keeping a bunch of you who just eat and eat? "

She clenched her fists, her knuckles turned white, as if she would explode at any moment.

The subordinate's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he stammered to explain: "It's not like that... We underestimated the opponent's ability. Zhou Si's men are terribly strong, each of them is extraordinary, and their reactions are as fast as lightning.

Even though we had ambushed them and set traps in advance, they were like ghosts and counterattacked us in an instant. In less than three minutes, all our men were knocked down, and several of our brothers fell to the ground with serious injuries, without even a chance to escape. "

He swallowed and added in a trembling voice: "Madam, you have to know that the people we sent out are all elite fighters. They have never failed in their missions. But Zhou Si's people dealt with us so easily. Their background is ten times more terrifying than what we have found out. It is simply unfathomable."

Isa was so angry that she slammed the table, shaking the teacup so much that it jumped up. She gritted her teeth and growled, "How is this possible?"

Over the years, she has been keeping an eye on that evil creature. Even though he was hidden by the old man of the Zhou family for a few years, he was only a few years old at that time!

He's just a young boy, what kind of waves can he make?

How come the situation is out of control???

William hurriedly coaxed his mother, his voice filled with anxiety, "Don't worry, mother, although this operation failed, we still have a chance. He has returned to Lantes, so we can better grasp the situation and find a chance to act at any time, right?"

He patted the back of his mother's hand, trying to ease the atmosphere, "Calm down first, Dad will be back soon, and he doesn't want to see you look ugly."

Isa took a deep breath, still feeling unhappy.

The talent Zhou Si displayed tonight might make the man want to have a little fun with him, but the hatred he had earlier was partially offset, so he might not plan to touch him for the time being.

She would never allow this to happen and would never let it go.

……

When Zhou Si returned home, it was already midnight.

When he entered the room, a warm yellow light was on in the living room. Mr. Zhou was sitting in front of a chessboard with a frown on his face, obviously waiting for him.

After he entered, he whispered, "Grandpa, you are still awake."

Mr. Zhou put down the chess piece in his hand and spoke slowly: "I heard from my subordinates that you left the banquet hall a long time ago. Why did you come back at this time? I am an old man, but I am still waiting for you here."

Although his tone was a bit reproachful, it was more of an elder's concern. His old voice was particularly clear in the quiet living room.

Zhou Si took a few steps closer and said apologetically, "I was delayed due to some personal matters. I'm sorry to have made you worried."

The old man didn't mean to blame him when he heard this, but just looked him up and down.

His eyes swept across Zhou Si's tall figure and fell on his deep eyes.

This grandson, whom I have seen grow up since he was a child, has now shed his childishness and grown into a calm and independent man.

A barely perceptible sense of pride rose in the old man's heart.

Then he said calmly: "You performed very well at the banquet tonight. I heard about it. When did you become friends with the Fu and Jiang families? Even I didn't know."

Zhou Si answered truthfully, his tone calm but sincere: "There are indeed some connections, but I never thought that they would come forward to help me."

The old man seemed very satisfied, with a trace of relief on his lips: "If you can keep such a good network of contacts firmly under control, you can avoid many detours in the future."

He paused, his voice deepened a bit, with unquestionable majesty, "But there is one thing... break up with that girl, she is not worthy of you."

Zhou Si seemed to have expected that he would say this. He couldn't help but smile and retorted: "You got it the other way around. I'm not worthy of her."

Old Master Zhou frowned and said unhappily, "Nonsense, anyone is worthy of my grandson, but you have to pick a good one. I don't have any opinion on her, but her background is too weak, which will become your weakness, and you can't have a weakness right now."

Zhou Si picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard in an orderly manner, saying, "When I left the hotel tonight, there were ambushes and attacks the whole way, but I came out safe and sound. Why do you think that was the case?"

Mr. Zhou said calmly, "Didn't you expect this and set up an ambush in advance?"

Zhou Si shook his head, "The people I ambushed didn't have a chance to make a move."

Mr. Zhou was surprised and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Si said truthfully: "Someone is protecting me."

"who???"

Mr. Zhou was surprised.

Zhou Si said calmly, "She is the girl you mentioned, who has no background and is useless."

Mr. Zhou looked up suddenly, shock flashing in his eyes.

How could it be that girl? She is from the countryside and has no background.

After a long while, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "Could it be that... I saw it wrongly?"

Zhou Si chuckled, "Not only you, but everyone has made a mistake, including me. All my good luck was given by her."

Mr. Zhou was still stubborn, "Even if the other party has some background, your status in the future will be more than that."

Zhou Si looked far away, his voice was gentle but resolute: "So what? I'm not interested in reaching the top and enjoying solitude alone... At least after meeting her, I don't think about it anymore. She's very nice and cute, and she warms people's hearts like the warm sun in winter. Grandpa should like her very much too."
