Chapter 1017 Midsummer Flower Appreciation Banquet for Celebrities
Xia Ling sneered and looked at her with some provocation.
Ever since she burned Pei Jingyu and others without being punished, Xia Ling became bolder and didn't take these wealthy ladies seriously at all. "What am I?" She raised her chin slightly, "Sister Jingyu is really busy. She was just injured last time and couldn't wait to go out. Be careful of getting injured again when you go out."
Pei Jing’s chest heaved as she spoke. Looking at her hugging Sunflower, her whole body was covered in mud, and she suddenly lost her breath. She put on her most arrogant smile and ridiculed: "What do you know, a wild girl? In a few days, there will be a flower-viewing banquet for celebrities in midsummer. The banquet party sent me an invitation letter. Of course I have to go out and pick out some beautiful accessories. No. Like some people, let alone receiving an invitation, I’m afraid they don’t even have the qualifications to know what this banquet is for, right?”
After she finished speaking, she turned around gracefully and got into the car with the help of the servant.
The car brushed Xia Ling Juechen away, choking her with exhaust fumes. She said "Bah, bah," and took a few steps back into the dirt on the roadside, thinking she was unlucky. When she lowered her head, she saw that the sunflowers in her arms were somewhat burned by the bright sun. "How annoying!" She said to herself angrily, "What's the big deal? It's just a flower viewing party."
She picked flowers again and put them in a new ceramic jar she bought. She looked at them with her chin in her hands, feeling depressed.
"What's wrong, little girl?" At some point, Pei Ziheng came home and saw the little girl motionless in front of the flower pot, so he walked to her and looked at the flowers with her.
Xia Ling turned her head and saw him, with a moment of surprise in her eyes: "Brother Pei!"
Pei Ziheng plucked a blade of grass from her hair and laughed at her: "Why do you look like a mud monkey? Don't tell me that you spent the entire afternoon in a daze here after you came back from picking flowers?"
She blinked, then lowered her eyes gloomily.
"Is there anything unhappy?" Pei Ziheng asked patiently, "Tell it to Brother Pei, and Brother Pei will help you find a solution."
"I..." Xia Ling stretched out her delicate fingers and twisted them together, "I met Pei Jingyu when I went out to pick flowers today. She said she was going to attend some flower viewing party, and said I was a wild girl and not qualified. "
"A flower-viewing banquet for celebrities in midsummer?" Pei Ziheng thought about it for a moment, and if there was any more important banquet in the upper class recently, this was it. This flower-viewing banquet is held every year, and is hosted by several first-class wealthy families in the country. It is said to be a small banquet, but in fact it is more like a blind date banquet in disguise. The elders usually bring their children who are not yet married or engaged. Participation, on the one hand, allows the children to get to know each other, and on the other hand, it makes it easier for the parents to observe the children's abilities and temperaments and prepare for future marriages.
Xia Ling nodded gloomily.
Pei Ziheng stood up and took her hand: "Let's go."
"Where to go?" She was led out by him, looking confused, and raised her head and asked.
"Go and order a little dress," Pei Ziheng said gently, "Isn't it the midsummer flower-viewing banquet for celebrities? If you want to go, we can go." Since he took over as emperor, he has been so busy that every year the flower-viewing banquet is sent to him. Invitations were ignored by him. It is said that many Shuyuan from famous families are about to cry. They dress up carefully every year just to see him. If they can marry him as their wife, they are all willing to marry him.
Originally, he didn’t plan to go this year.
But since Xiao Ling wants to go, let's take her to play around. The little girl hasn't been out much since he adopted her. With her lively and active temperament, she might be bored.
Xia Ling was so happy that she didn't expect that Brother Pei was so kind to her just because she was slightly unhappy. She followed him happily, took measurements at the best tailor in the city, and ordered a small dress that was urgently needed. Soon after, the dress was ready and sent to Pei Ziheng's house.
When she put it on, the beautiful material and the unique tailoring perfectly brought out the little girl's still-developing figure. It was a little green, but lighter, more beautiful, and more sympathetic than anything else.
When she wore it and walked down the spiral staircase on the second floor, Pei Ziheng's eyes darkened slightly.
She was so beautiful, more beautiful than any girl he had ever seen.
He reached out his hand to her in a gentlemanly manner.
When she took his arm and appeared at the flower viewing party, everyone was amazed.
"Look over there, my God, what do I see?" A lady called to her husband, "Isn't that the new chairman of the Pei family? He is only eighteen years old. It is said that he is extremely busy every day. He has not been here for two years. He attended the flower viewing party, what brought him here today?"
Her husband also looked over: "Who is that little **** his arm? She is so beautiful."
All kinds of eyes were focused on Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling, some were surprised, some were curious, and most were exploring and pointing. Xia Ling was sensitively aware of it. At first, she was a little uncomfortable with everyone looking at her, but she quickly calmed down - as long as she stayed with Brother Pei, there was nothing to be afraid of.
She followed the etiquette teacher Sofia's teachings, with her back elegant and straight, and smiling calmly.
“She looks so good,” another lady said to her companions. “That little girl is much prettier than Pei Jingyu and the others. Have you never heard of such a young lady in the Pei family?”
"What kind of lady is this?" Her companion was obviously much better informed, "I heard that Pei Ziheng recently adopted a little girl. She was brought back from the orphanage. She is very beautiful. It should be her."
“Isn’t it possible?” The lady was startled, “Bringing an orphan here?”
While discussing, Pei Ziheng was already chatting with people over there. The tall and handsome young man held the beautiful **** his arm and introduced her gently and elegantly: "This is Xia Ling, my newly adopted girl. Please take good care of her in the future."
"No way..." The noble lady who had been talking about it was stunned and said to her companions, "He is really an orphan? What a pity. Originally, I wanted to help our Yuanyou match up." This noble lady has always been interested in getting married. The Pei family was engaged in marriage, but after many choices, Pei Jingyu and Pei Jingshan were not very satisfied. Finally, Pei Ziheng brought a new person to the scene. I originally thought it was the first time for a young lady from the Pei family to attend a social event. Woolen cloth.
Even if she is a side branch girl, the fact that she can be brought out by Pei Ziheng is enough to show that the family attaches great importance to her, and it is not a bad idea to use her for marriage. However, orphans who are not related by blood are completely different. So what if they are adopted? A piece of paper is still too weak. Who knows when Pei Ziheng will get fed up and turn his back on the person?
Such a girl is not suitable for marriage at all.
