Chapter 196: her adopter
Chapter 196 Her Adopter
Xia Ling shook her head slightly.
Just listen to the dean of academic affairs urging: "What are you still doing? Go quickly. Xia Ling, let me tell you, you are a blessing in disguise this time. Mr. Pei is so rich, you have to make him happy. Maybe your sister has the same disease." Count on it.”
Her heart beat rapidly: "Really?"
"When have I lied to you?" the dean of academic affairs glared at her, "You know the Emperor Pei, right? It's in the news every day, and he's a wealthy family in the world. Mr. Pei Ziheng, who came this time, is the new patriarch. Being a family member is not comparable to those representatives of small groups who came to donate money in the past. To others, Xia Yu's treatment fee is sky-high, but to him, it is just a matter of words."
Her heart beat faster, Xia Ling secretly clenched her fists and dug her nails into her flesh. For Xia Yu, she would do anything, let alone just dance? Without saying a word, she ran to the classroom where the dance clothes were displayed. As soon as she took a step, she felt a sharp pain under her feet. She staggered and almost fell to the ground.
"Hey!" The dean of academic affairs supported her, "Be careful! How can you dance if you fall and get hurt?"
She finally stood firm, and the pain in her feet became stronger and stronger, almost breaking into a cold sweat. The dean looked at her face and said, "Are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, just talk. Your body is important, and dancing is not mandatory."
"It's okay." She forced a smile, "I was just too happy to hear the news, so I just walked carelessly."
The dean of academic affairs nodded assuredly and watched her leave.
Along the way, Xia Ling endured the excruciating pain and walked quickly and steadily. When she arrived at the dance studio, she changed into her dance clothes and shoes while avoiding the teachers, and hid the blood-stained shoes in the cabinet. They put makeup on her and gave her a lot of instructions, such as being well-behaved and not making Mr. Pei unhappy, etc. She obeyed as usual, and no one noticed anything strange.
She must dance this dance.
The dean of academic affairs said that he was rich. In order for him to save Xia Yu, even if there was only one thousandth chance, she must try her best. Not only does she have to dance, she has to dance better than usual.
The dance is arranged at the luncheon.
The teachers are still urging: "Xia Ling, this banquet is all for you. Mr. Pei didn't plan to stay for the meal, but stayed here just to see you dance. You must behave well and don't embarrass the orphanage. "
She took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage.
Dancing is her strong point. She stretches her body and performs difficult moves one after another, as smoothly as water. At first, she still felt a burst of pain in the injured sole, but then she no longer felt the pain. She was immersed in the world of dance. She tried her best to perform what she had learned in her life. When the scene ended, she saw the young man in the audience, Slowly raise your palm and pat it twice.
Is he satisfied? Or is it out of politeness?
Xia Ling felt uneasy and had an intuition that he was that Mr. Pei. She couldn't help but take a few more glances, but she couldn't get the slightest clue from the expressionless face.
The announcer whispered to her to leave.
Xia Ling was full of worries and walked back as if sleepwalking. She sat in the dressing room and refused to come out.
I do not know how long it has been.
The door to the locker room was opened by someone, and it was the dean who said, "Xia Ling, why are you still here? You haven't changed your clothes? Hurry up, it's too late, Mr. Pei wants to see you."
Mr. Pei wants to see her? She looked at the academic director in surprise, her heart beating wildly: "What's the matter?"
An unstoppable smile broke out on the dean’s face: “He said he wanted to adopt you.”
"Adopt me? What about Xiao Yu?!" she asked eagerly. There were too many people who wanted to adopt her, but when they heard that she had to take Xia Yu with her, they all chose to give up without exception.
The smile on the dean's face grew wider: "The dean has told Mr. Pei about your sisters. Mr. Pei is willing to take you away together, and he also promised to treat Xia Yu well." Her voice was trembling. :"real?!"
"Why did I lie to you?" He smiled and pushed Xia Ling, "Let me just say that you were a blessing in disguise this time. You sisters have finally come to the end of their hardships. The Pei family is a super wealthy family and cannot treat you badly. You will live a good life in the future. , don’t forget the orphanage, come back and visit when you have time.”
She nodded vigorously, feeling that everything was just a dream and unreal.
The dean of academic affairs urged her to change her clothes quickly. He answered the phone at the last minute and said, "Forget it, there's no need to change. The dean is urging us to hurry up and it won't be good if we keep Mr. Pei waiting for too long. Come with me."
He turned around and walked out, and Xia Ling followed. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in the sole of his foot. Then he remembered that he was still injured. He didn't feel it when he was dancing. Now that he was relaxed, it was killing him.
“What’s wrong?” the dean of academic affairs asked after walking a few steps and seeing that she didn’t follow her.
She gritted her teeth and said it was okay. I secretly felt that my feet were sticky, and the wounds were probably bleeding again. However, she lowered her head and glanced at her feet. She couldn't tell anything from their appearance, so she simply put her mind aside and forced herself to follow step by step. We have reached this point, no matter what, we cannot let the chain slip at the critical moment.
Finally arrived at the VIP lounge.
The dean was talking to the young man. When he saw her, he enthusiastically pulled her over and introduced her. "Mr. Pei, this is Xia Ling. This child has a hard life, but he is very obedient and sensible. He will never cause you any trouble." He lowered his head and taught her, "Xiao Ling, follow Mr. Pei from now on and be obedient. What do I ask you to do?" Just do it, you know?”
Xia Ling nodded vigorously and looked at the young man anxiously, fearing that he would not want her.
The young man spoke to the dean: "I want to talk to the boy alone."
The dean took the dean of academic affairs out, leaving them alone in the room.
Xia Ling carefully looked at him, her adoptee. He was sitting in a dark single sofa chair by the window, with his hands folded casually and his posture relaxed. Fragments of sunshine shone on his face and body, making him unpredictable and charming. She had to admit that he was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in her twelve years of life.
"Your name is Xiao Ling, right?" He spoke with a gentle voice.
Xia Ling nodded, too nervous to speak.
He smiled: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Ling, I said I would adopt you and I will never go back on it."
“What about Xia Yu?” she blurted out.
"The same goes for Xia Yu." The young man said, "I have already sent someone to go through the adoption procedures for you."
“You will treat Xia Yu’s illness, right?” she asked eagerly.
"Of course." He looked at her gently, "From now on, I will fulfill all your wishes."
Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief. She felt as if a big stone that had been there for a long time had fallen to the ground. Her nose suddenly became sore, her eyes were burning, and she almost cried: "Thank you...Thank you, thank you..."
He smiled and his eyes became gentler: "You don't have to say thank you to me, you are special and deserve all this."
Worth it all? She looked at him blankly.
He didn't explain much, just said: "Xiao Ling, come here and let me take a look."
