Zhou Wen's expression remained unchanged, he looked up at the upstairs of the three-story foreign-style building and asked, "Do you live upstairs? Who is taking care of your granddaughter when you are away?"
"I also have a cook and a maid at home. They are taking care of Natasha. I converted the first and second floors into restaurants, and the third floor is my home. Mr. Scholar, please come here."
When he saw Nicholas using a key to open a side door next to the restaurant, he saw a not-so-wide staircase.
Following Zhou Wen this time were Zhang Xiaoping, Ti Jing and Zuo Mingqing, which basically brought the strongest combat power of the mercenary group with them.
Just because he didn’t know much about Nikolai’s situation, Zhou Wen adopted the mentality of a lion fighting a rabbit. Regardless of the opponent’s strength, I would deal with it with all my strength.
Zhou Wen turned his head and motioned for Ti Jing and Zuo Mingqing behind him to stay at the door of the restaurant, while he took Zhang Xiaoping and followed Nicholas up the stairs.
It can be seen that although this three-story foreign-style building facing the street does not have a back garden or yard, the area is not small. In addition to the first and second floors being used as restaurants, Zhou Wen discovered that there are also many rooms on both sides of the long corridor on the third floor.
.
Nicholas introduced Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping into a spacious living room. Thick silk curtains blocked the light, making the living room look a bit gloomy and gloomy.
The room was covered with wool carpets, but it could be seen that the carpets were old and gave off a faint strange smell.
There are several oil paintings hanging on the wall, in the middle is a set of ancient and thick European-style sofas, and a set of silver tea trays and tea sets are placed on the coffee table.
"Mr. Scholar, would you like a glass of vodka?" Nicholas walked to the wine cabinet in the living room, picked up a wine bottle and asked.
Zhou Wen shook his head and said: "You are free to do as you like, Mr. Nicholas, we don't drink while working."
Nicholas poured himself half a glass of wine, shook it slightly, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhou Wen looked at the tall wine glass in his hand and guessed that the capacity of half a glass of wine would not be less than one tael. He was choked by the old man and sighed in his heart: "It's really the old man!"
Nicholas took a sip of wine and seemed to be in high spirits, so he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Lisa, we have a guest, please ask Natasha to come out to meet the guest."
Before Nicholas finished speaking, Zhou Wen heard the door of a room in the corridor outside open, and then heard a pair of light leather shoes tapping cheerfully on the solid wood floor.
In just the blink of an eye, a seven or eight-year-old Belarusian girl appeared at the door of the living room.
I saw this little girl wearing a yellow ruffled dress. Even in the dim light, her fair and delicate face could not be concealed.
She has curly black hair, and her blue eyes flicker under her long eyelashes, like two crystal clear sapphires.
As soon as she saw Nicholas, she jumped over happily, ran into Nicholas' arms, and shouted: "Grandpa, my dear grandpa, where have you been? Natasha misses you."
Already."
At this time, Nicholas had a look of love and satisfaction on his face, hugging the little girl and laughing: "My dear Natasha, grandpa misses you too, but sometimes, grandpa also has to go out to do errands and work. Come, I
I’d like to introduce you to a guest.”
Nicholas pulled Natasha to look at Zhou Wen and said, "This is Mr. Scholar."
Then he turned to Zhang Xiaoping and said: "This is Mr. Leaf. They are here to protect you. My Natasha will never be disturbed by those damn hooligans again."
At this time, Natasha turned her head and looked at Zhou Wen and Zhang Xiaoping curiously with her big eyes. Then she held her skirt in her hand and bowed to the two of them, with two beautiful faces on her round face.
The little dimple said in English: "Hello Mr. Scholar, Hello Mr. Ye Zi, nice to meet you."
Natasha's voice is young and crisp, sweet and very pleasant.
And it can be seen that this little girl is very polite and well-educated, which shows that Nicholas really loves his granddaughter as he said, and at the same time, he also puts a lot of thought into the child's education.
Zhou Wen also smiled and bowed slightly: "Hello! Miss Natasha, we are also very happy to meet you. You are really a lovely and beautiful little angel."
Natasha was praised by Zhou Wen, with a happy smile on her little face. After saluting, she put her little hands behind her back, still curiously looking at Zhou Wen with her big eyes, and asked softly: "Sir, are you here to protect me?
?There are always people throwing stones at our house these days and shouting. I dare not sleep and I always have nightmares. Can you drive them away?"
Zhou Wen's heart moved and he said: "Of course, this is my responsibility and my honor. No one will disturb you again tonight, I promise. Oh, by the way, apart from throwing stones, what are they shouting about?
"
At this moment, Nicholas suddenly coughed and was about to interrupt, but was forced back by Zhou Wen's shocking look.
Of course, Natasha didn't notice any of this, but the little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "It seems...it seems like they were shouting about paying back the money, but I didn't hear it clearly."
At this moment, Nicholas couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Okay, my dear Natasha, have you finished your homework for today? I remember there should be another piano practice in the afternoon, right?"
The little girl immediately pouted her pink little mouth, pulled her head up, and said feebly: "Okay, Grandpa, I'm going to practice the piano right now."
After that, he said to Zhou Wen: "Goodbye, Mr. Scholar, I'll come back to talk to you after I finish practicing the piano, okay?"
"At your service, Miss Natasha."
Zhou Wen watched the little girl walk out listlessly, and handed her little hand to a Belarusian woman dressed as a maid who had been standing at the door.
The maid bowed to Zhou Wen and led Natasha into the long corridor.
Nicholas introduced: "Her name is Lisa, she is the maid I hired, and there is also a cook named Babushya, who is preparing dinner in the kitchen. It can be seen that Natasha likes you very much, I invite you
Is it okay to have dinner with your companion tonight?”
Zhou Wen smiled and said: "Thank you, Mr. Nicholas, I won't stay any longer. The three of them will stay. But there is no need to have dinner together. Just prepare some bread and water for them. After all, we are working
, isn’t it?”
Nicholas was a little worried when he heard this: "Whether there are three people less, I'm worried..."
Zhou Wen interrupted him with a smile: "No, don't worry, my people are the most professional, they can protect your safety enough. My arrangement is that Ye Zi is responsible for personal protection at home or when you go out. The following is
The two of you will patrol the surrounding area to prevent anyone from disturbing you."
