I am Lapland’s rat!

With Sofia's efforts and Quinn's guidance, the group of people successfully sat at a table filled with young ladies, and chatted while eating.

During the dinner, it was obvious that Margaret liked Wu Xian more than Sofia, and she quickly revealed the reason why she liked Wu Xian while eating snacks after the meal:

"Xiao Yin, look, this is my adopted child, her name is Ellie."

Margaret, who left her father's side, was obviously much more relaxed than before. The tall film girl smiled and placed a cage that the housekeeper brought for her on another small table next to the dining table. He pushed it in front of Wu Xian who was squatting next to him.

Wu Xian blinked and realized that the "Ellie" in Margaret's mouth was a white female hamster - they called this type of hamster a grain hamster.

At this time, Ellie, who was staying in the hamster cage, was probably frightened by so many "giants" and such a noisy environment. She shivered and shrank beside the hamster wheel, looking at Wu Xian outside the cage, and then at Looking at the people in the ballroom, there was a pitiful feeling in their dark little eyes.

Wu Xian shook his beard and was speechless: "I don't know that Shushu is timid, so don't bring it to the light."

However, excluding Heitan, this was indeed the first time he saw a pet rat like him. It is estimated that there are few people in Syracuse who know how to raise rats like Lapland.

Therefore, Wu Xian walked over and patted the hamster cage with his paw, chirping twice casually to tell Ellie not to be afraid.

Where has Ellie ever seen someone as strong and sensible as Wu Xian?

After a few exchanges, its little eyes lit up and it was no longer afraid. It pulled its two front paws on the iron railing in front of Wu Xian and screamed:

"——Can you break some for me?"

The ladies at the dinner table who didn't know how high Wu Xian's IQ was laughed and screamed in surprise. Taking this opportunity, Lapland, who had started his own business at a young age, was also favored by them.

After the meal was a free dance, during which Lapland received many business cards. Even though those celebrities had no intention of investing or entrusting business to a small security company in Lapland, they still did not hesitate to do so. Make a friend that Quinn has his eye on.

The dance lasted until midnight. Mr. Walter cut the birthday cake for Margaret live in the center of the hall, and Margaret happily accepted everyone's blessings.

After more than an hour, the guests gradually left.

Chapter 23 The Wolf’s Trouble

That night.

Lapland and Texas were in their apartment in the Garden District, and Lapland took Wu Xian back home.

Wu Xian jumped on the coffee table very excitedly, and couldn't wait to exchange what happened today with Hei Tan who ran out of the bedroom.

After all, today's dance solved a lot of problems at once, and Lapland's road to opening a company in Tremont suddenly became smooth!

Then Texas walked out of the room.

However, what Wu Xian did not expect, and what Texas did not expect, was that Lapland, who should have been happy, stood on the edge of the sofa with an expressionless face.

The white wolf suddenly said to Texas in a tired and heavy tone:

"Texas, can you leave for a moment? Go to the 24-hour convenience store downstairs to buy something. I have something to say to Xiaoyin."

Lapland's eyes were uncharacteristically tired.

Texas' expression changed slightly.

She hesitated to speak, then took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

If her friends want it, then she will follow it.

Lapland sighed and said, "Thank you."

……

After Texas left the house and the sound of the door closing gently was heard in the entrance, Lapland walked around from the back of the sofa to the front and sat down on the sofa, facing the two mice on the coffee table.

Wu Xian had already stopped talking with Hei Tan. He turned his head and stared blankly at Lapland, who looked somewhat calm.

What happened?

At this time, Heitan also realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. After thinking for a moment, he chose to jump off the coffee table and ran into the room to continue eating his snacks.

"Xiao Yin." A faint smile appeared on Lapland's lips, "Don't you know what I want to say?"

Wu Xian blinked on the coffee table.

"Do not……"

At this moment, an idea suddenly came to his mind, and then his mood suddenly became heavy. This heavy mood directly suppressed the excitement he had just felt.

Wu Xian probably knows.

"Texas always wants to talk to you when he encounters problems. I think I should also enjoy this right." Seeing Wu Xian looking at him, Lapland chuckled and said, "What do you think? ?”

"Of course!" Wu Xian wagged his tail desperately, jumped into Lapland's arms, put his paws on Lapland's legs, and looked up at Lapland.

"Zhushu, I will always listen to you no matter where you are!"

This series of actions made Lapland laugh, and she burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, the matter is actually not that serious. ... It's just that I'm a little confused, Xiaoyin, I'm a little confused."

As he spoke, Lapland's laughter gradually subsided.

The white-haired Luper girl looked down at Wu Xian. Wu Xian blinked and noticed that the hair on the side of Lapland's face had grown longer.

Then he suddenly realized that since leaving Syracuse, Lapland had completely deviated from her original growth trajectory.

For Wu Xian, she has become completely unpredictable.

Under Wu Xian's gaze, Lapland spoke softly, "I'm very confused, Xiaoyin. I've been confused ever since Mr. Quinn found me in the crowd."

"Have you ever felt like I don't feel like myself lately?"

She smiled slightly, but Wu Xian just blinked and hesitated whether to wag his tail.

"Yes or no?"

After all, the environment is changing, and people are changing all the time.

But what answer does Lapland want?

When Wu Xian didn't respond, Lapland continued: "——To be precise, I don't know what 'I' should do."

She emphasized the pronoun "I", smiled with a hint of melancholy, and got to the point:

"In Syracuse, I am the heir of Saluzzo, I am the leader of the Onnor branch, I am the rebellious wolf known among the families... I can also be the feared Lapland, Alberto’s sweet daughter and Texas’ best friend.”

"I'm used to playing these characters and being rebellious against them, and that's part of what it's like to be a part of it, and I'm simultaneously delighted and deeply bored by it."

but.

Wu Xian knew that Lapland was about to give up.

"But... Xiaoyin, Xiaoyin. In Colombia, I obviously just did the same thing. I didn't significantly change the way I did things, but why not?"

“I’m already trying very hard to be an entrepreneur who wants to make a difference in Colombia, but why don’t I feel that way?”

Lapland was still speaking in confusion. She seemed to be asking Wu Xian, but also seemed to be questioning herself.

She told Wu Xian that during the many days she came to Colombia,

She actually felt pain.

"Why, Silver, when that Perot guy, the head of the Economic Development Bureau, said hello to me, did I feel relieved instead of proud of you?"

"why?"

Wu Xian: "..."

His mood suddenly became very heavy, and he patted Lapland with his paws comfortingly. Wu Xian knew that this question could only be answered by Lapland himself.

In his opinion, Lapland's behavior has actually changed a lot since he came to Colombia.

But this was a last resort. After all, she did not have as strong a background as she had in Syracuse. Even with great strength and wisdom, she could only act honestly and in accordance with the rules when facing social oppression.

That's not a bad thing.

However, Lapland is still just a girl after all, and she is still a few months younger than the eldest lady who just celebrated her birthday today.

In the original plot, even though she wandered in the wilderness for a long time, when she really said goodbye to everything that gave birth to her and raised her, and the quagmire of Syracuse, she still became a nihilistic person without any goals...

In this case, when Lapland left Syracuse and suddenly lost everything that shaped her, and was forced to act in an unfamiliar way, Lapland would naturally lose her self-identity for a while. sex.

Everyone has to go through this period - during adolescence, facing parents, classmates, friends or netizens, trying to play different selves in front of various people.

Some people are able to capture the parts of themselves that don't change, and that's self-identity.

People who find their own identity in adolescence are often more able to appreciate themselves later in life and become more confident socially.

And those who are confused and unable to accurately understand who they are will continue to socialize in this way even into adulthood.

Wu Xian felt heavy because he didn't realize earlier that Lapland would be in such trouble after leaving his hometown.

While she denied everything that shaped her, she actually did not find the core values ​​that could support her existence.

"I'm definitely a little tired, Silver. I realize I'm discontinuous. There's no way I can find my place in Colombia."

Lapland was still troubled.

"You know, I suddenly thought for a moment last night, if I had accepted my father's invitation that afternoon, stayed in Syracuse, and soon became Saluzzo's talker, would things have been better?"

Chapter 24 As always

Wu Xian: "..."

It's hard to say. Wu Xian could imagine that kind of future, but he couldn't imagine whether it would be a good thing for Lapland.

Lapland did not wait for Wu Xian's answer. She just sighed and continued: "I hate Swanov. But before that, I plan to accept Swanov's request and join his small group. .”

Lapland talked about the direct cause of her series of pain.

That was her plan.

"Facing me, Swanov is very powerful, but after all, he is just a horned man, and his power also comes from the Texas family. Therefore, I think, we only need to make Mosedi suspect that Swanov has If I lean towards Sofia, I can set up a trap to get out of it and use a trap to trap Swanov."

"And it was not difficult. I knew that Swanov wanted me, and I wanted to take advantage of that. In order to make him want this, I learned about his preferences through Sofia."

"A man is most vulnerable when he has a desire that he doesn't get. I always maintained an attitude of refusal, but left him a glimmer of hope. I contacted the two officials and the people around Swanov in advance in order to They all got involved.”

"Svanov is a person who is easily controlled by impulse. He will keep adding fuel to the fire when he doesn't get what he wants. He will use all the means at his disposal. I just need to give him a glimmer of hope and give him An illusion that Sophia doesn’t actually care about me that much.”

"Yes, Sofia didn't show up after the first meeting. It was actually my instruction."

Having said this, Lapland sighed, raised the corner of his mouth, and continued:

"If this continues, as long as Sophia spreads news within the Texas family, Mosedi will find out that Swanov is using all his skills to pursue someone... from the Georgia family."

"What would Mosetti think? What would Swanov think?"

"By then, Swanov had already invested too many sunk costs in pursuing me. Just because Mosedi no longer trusted him, he had to find ways to get me to prove that he was right."

"And Mosedi will distrust Swanov even more..."

At this point, Lapland's eyes became a little melancholy, and she stopped talking.

But Wu Xian, who had listened to Lapland's plan, was already feeling cold all over.

"This is no longer the level of a bad woman, this is a first-rate bad woman!"

Wu Xian has completely understood Lapland's intention.

She wasn't just signing up for a security company.Because if this continues, as long as Sofia manipulates it again, she and Lapland will be overt and covert, and Salvatore, who hates infighting, may directly transfer the entire branch of the Texas family in Tremont to Sofia. !

And this is completely equivalent to Lapland directly gaining Swanov's social status after operating for a period of time, which can be said to be a step to the sky!

And this is completely within the rules!

Wu Xian briefly imagined such a future, and actually regretted a little bit that he had befriended Quinn.

"But," Lapland just paused for a moment, then closed his eyes and said:

"The moment Swanov reached out to me in the corner of the ballroom, the moment I clearly saw the dirty light in his eyes, little silver."

"I hesitated."

“I began to doubt my validity and, with it, whether I was who I was.”

“I was obviously doing what Lapland should do in Colombia, but when I was about to say the words of agreement and show a very reluctant expression, I felt that I shouldn’t do such a thing here. "

"I want to draw my sword and thrust it through the Ursus' chest."

"Then I realized I didn't have a sword at my side."

"So I just had to put on a calm face, I couldn't laugh out loud, and if Mr. Quinn hadn't come towards us, I don't know what would have happened."

Wu Xian saw that Lapland's eyes were a little out of focus, and there was a look of loss on her face that Wu Xian had never seen before.
