Chapter 2378 Afraid that she would be bullied
Ma Xi thought about it, then picked up her phone and sent a message to Xiao Ba, asking him to look into the matter.
Xiao Ba is extremely efficient. After receiving instructions from Marcy, he immediately took action.
It only takes about half an hour.
Regarding the matter of Zhou Si and Lantes, I have sorted it out, packaged it into a document and sent it over.
As soon as Marcy received the email, she quickly opened it.
What caught my eye was the information about the Lantes family. This family had deep roots in Country Y. They were a large family, enjoyed aristocratic titles, and had been prominent for generations.
The person currently in power is Zhou Si's father.
He controls the family business.
Moreover, the family relationships are complicated, with many side relatives, but the main family bloodline is firmly in the branch of Zhou Si's father.
There are currently three brothers.
The detailed introduction to Zhou Si's father is particularly eye-catching.
The other party's name is David Lantes. He is dictatorial and domineering, acts cruelly and ruthlessly, and often uses extreme means to resolve disputes. He is feared in the business world and in his family. He is an absolutely ruthless person.
His current wife's name is Isa.
As the mistress of Lantes, she is tactful and well versed in social skills. The two have a son named William Lantes, who is Zhou Si's half-brother.
Marcy had already begun to frown when she saw part of the information.
She thought to herself, as expected, the interpersonal relationships in these big families are complicated and undercurrents are surging.
However, before her thoughts had completely settled, her eyes fell on the content of the next page.
Those are family secrets that must not be leaked.
For example, Zhou Si's father teamed up with his stepmother to kill his ex-wife.
What is even more outrageous is that they slandered the young Zhou Si as mentally ill and forcibly sent him to a gloomy mental hospital, leaving him to suffer in despair.
Later, Zhou Si's grandfather went through a lot of hardships to rescue him from the cage, giving him a chance for rebirth and redemption.
After that incident, Zhou Si changed his name to take his grandfather's surname.
Seeing this, Marcy's breathing stagnated, and her chest seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock.
She blinked repeatedly, her fingertips trembling slightly, and she could hardly believe her eyes.
I didn’t dare to think about how Zhou Si managed to get through all these experiences.
It must be difficult, right?
How could parents be so cruel as to send their own son to a mental hospital?
This series of news is very explosive.
Ma Xi hurried to the balcony, called Xiao Ba, and asked, "Is this information true?"
On the other end of the phone, Xiao Ba's voice was steady and professional, revealing a bit of concern: "The information fed back by our intelligence system should not be wrong. Is there any problem, Miss Marcy?"
Marcy gripped the phone tightly, her knuckles turned white, her heart was gripped tightly, and waves of stabbing pain spread.
The intelligence system is shared with Brother Yan Jue and his team. All the information we get has gone through layers of review and there is definitely no room for error.
Reliability is beyond doubt.
But...if this is true, wouldn't Zhou Si's return mean he's back in the fire pit?
That place once gave him nightmares and was full of betrayal and danger. Why would he go back without hesitation?
Her thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess, and doubts were surging in her heart?
Could it be that... Zhou Si has some other purpose?
When Marcy thought about it, her heart was shrouded in a layer of haze that was difficult to dispel, and she was inexplicably worried.
But she understood that there were some things that she was not qualified to do and could not stop.
……
Zhou Si was also discussing the birthday party with Xiao Zhi.
Lantus sent out invitations widely.
From this we can see that the old man attached great importance to his birthday party this time.
Many important people from Country Y came.
Xiao Zhi tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips, and said solemnly, "Do you want to invite Xiao Shiyang to your birthday?"
A sharp light flashed in Zhou Si's deep eyes. Without any hesitation, he shook his head firmly and said, "No."
He didn't want Marcy to come into contact with a dirty place like Lanters.
She is so pure and beautiful, and knows nothing about the world.
A place like Lantes, which looks glamorous on the surface and is full of wine and food but is rotten inside, is not suitable for her.
Besides, he had a lot to deal with on his birthday night.
The guests who came were not good people. If they came, she might not be able to take care of them, and she was also afraid that she would be bullied.
He didn't want to see that kind of outcome.
Not to mention, he had no real sense of celebrating his birthday.
If it is really possible.
He can just set aside some time to spend with a few important people.
Of course, there is another consideration.
If he went back to a place like Lantus, he might become someone different from who he is now.
He didn't want Shi Yang to see his other side.
Xiao Zhi also knew what he was thinking, but he didn't say anything and just nodded silently.
Then, after his birthday, find extra time to celebrate it with him.
Then I'll find Xiao Shiyang to make him happy.
In the past ten years, Zhou Si has never had a happy birthday.
But now it’s different, Xiao Shiyang appeared.
Thinking of this, a plan began to form in his mind.
……
The next day, when Xia Lin was finishing get out of class, she couldn't help but ask, "Shi Yang, Senior Zhou Si's birthday is coming soon. Do you think he will invite us to his birthday party?"
Marcy, who was tidying up her desk, said bluntly, without looking up, "No."
Xia Lin was immediately surprised, frowned slightly, and asked, "Why?"
Marcy raised her eyes to look at Charlene and said seriously, "That kind of banquet is not suitable for us to go to."
Xia Lin didn't think much about it and said, "But aren't we already friends with the senior? Our relationship is pretty good, right? Could it be that... they think we are not qualified to enter their house?"
At this point, she paused, as if she understood something, "That's right! Our family is ordinary, and their aristocratic family pays attention to family background and pomp. If we go to a place like that, we may not even have a decent dress and will look out of place."
Ma Xi didn't know that Xia Lin had made so many associations, so she quickly shook her head and explained, "That's not what I meant. We all know Zhou Si's character, and he would never look down on us.
But they are a big family with many complicated members. With so many guests gathered that night, the scene must have been grand and there must have been a lot of things going on.
In that kind of situation, Zhou Si has to take all parties into consideration. If we go, we might be targeted, and he might be too busy to take care of us.
I guess Zhou Si has this in mind."
Marcy couldn't tell her in detail about Zhou Si's family background, so she could only follow the topic and comfort Xia Lin in a gentle voice.
"How about this, we can make an extra appointment with him and celebrate separately. He should be more comfortable and we won't have any restrictions."
After listening quietly, Xia Lin nodded and responded, "Well, okay."
She didn't have to go to such a grand birthday party. At first, she just wanted to celebrate with her senior.
Since Shi Yang said so, there was nothing for her to worry about.
