Chapter 1019: I don't bet
Chapter 1019 I don’t bet
Pei Jingyu’s invitation came from her mother, Mrs. Ren.
Pei Ziheng's mother passed away early, and he was too young to marry. Therefore, Mrs. Ren took care of the Pei family's housework in recent years. She can be said to be the de facto matron of the entire family. To participate in activities such as the flower viewing banquet, a female elder of sufficient weight needs to be present.
So, Pei Jingyu’s invitation letter could only bring her mother, not other sisters.
But the invitation letter in Pei Ziheng's hand is different - now, all the male and female elders of the Pei family are present. If he wants, he can bring another sister with the invitation letter in his hand to seek marriage opportunities for his sister!
But he didn't do that.
He actually brought an unrelated orphan!
Who is Xia Ling? Do you still expect her to marry the Pei family? Absolutely ridiculous!
Pei Zhenyuan's old face darkened, and he said to sisters Pei Jingyu and Pei Jingshan: "You go shopping by yourself, you don't need to accompany me. By the way, call Zi Heng."
The two girls understood that grandpa had something to say to his cousin alone.
An imperceptible smile appeared on Pei Jingyu's face. It must be because of that wild girl Xia Ling! Grandpa will definitely reprimand the cousin severely and tell him to get rid of that wild girl!
She responded in a very ladylike manner and walked to Pei Ziheng with her sister.
Pei Ziheng was talking to the director of another large group. Xia Ling was a little distracted beside him. She gently grabbed the sleeves of his suit with her little hands and suddenly whispered: "Ah, Pei Jingyu and the others are here."
Pei Ziheng had brought her out to play this time, and he had long noticed her impatient movements. At this time, after hearing what she said, he gently said sorry to the director and walked towards Sister Pei Jingyu. step.
"Cousin," Pei Jingyu looked very noble and dignified in an elegant dress. She said to Xia Ling without even glancing at Xia Ling from the corner of her eye, "Grandpa is over there at the pavilion and asked you to come over."
Pei Ziheng glanced in that direction and roughly guessed why Pei Zhenyuan was looking for him, so he lowered his head and said to Xia Ling, "I'll go back as soon as I go. You can go back by yourself first. If you encounter any trouble, just call me by name."
“Yeah.” She nodded obediently and watched him walk away.
Pei Jingyu then sneered at Xia Ling: "Little beggar, this is where you came from? Don't embarrass our Pei family, why don't you go back quickly."
Xia Ling is not afraid of her: "Didn't you say I can't come? I have to come! Some people think they are so noble. Hum, isn't it just a flower viewing party? What's so great about it." She had already heard what Zhou Ma said. What happened to the flower viewing party? Zhou Ma said that Brother Pei didn’t go there for many years because it was too troublesome.
Since it is something that Brother Pei despises, what good thing can it be?
Pei Jingyu was angered by her again. Does this wild girl know anything? !
Pei Jingshan on the side helped: "What's so great? A beggar is just a beggar, he has no knowledge at all. I think my cousin brought you here because he wanted to see you make a fool of yourself! I'll be selecting Midsummer later. When you are a famous lady, no boy wants to choose you, hahaha, how interesting it is.”
She seemed to have discovered something interesting, covering her mouth and laughing softly.
Xia Ling was slightly startled: "What is the selection of celebrities in midsummer?"
"You don't know?" Pei Jingshan told her compassionately, "This banquet is called 'Midsummer Celebrity Flower Appreciation Banquet'. Do you think it is called for nothing? Every year, ladies from major families compete in talent competitions. Then let all the unmarried male guests present make a selection - each male guest has a flower in his hand, and if he appreciates you, he will give it to you. The girl with the most flowers will be the 'Midsummer Lady' of that year. Then, she added: "Last year's famous lady in midsummer was Sister Jingyu."
Pei Jingyu's face showed a little bit of reserve and pride. This title is not that easy to get. To carve out a path among many famous ladies, one must have outstanding family background, education, appearance, talents, etc. That's right. It's not easy to win the favor of so many young masters present.
"How about it, little beggar," Pei Jingshan said proudly, provoking Xia Ling, "Didn't you say there's something great about it? If you have the ability, you should be a famous lady in mid-summer." She was sure and sure, even if Xia Ling looks like No matter how beautiful she is, she can't get it, because this is a blind date party for a wealthy family. The flowers in the hands of those noble gentlemen are not given randomly. In addition to considering personal preferences, more importantly, the girl's family background is considered. If you give flowers, you are interested. The idea of marrying the girl was a hint from the man's family to the woman's family.
Xia Ling is not born well, so what’s the use of being beautiful?
Just like last year, to be fair, Pei Jingyu is not the one with the best talents, but she is the one with the best combination of talents, family background and other conditions, so she can win the favor of so many noble gentlemen.
Xia Ling didn't know the twists and turns involved. The two rich ladies in front of her were so arrogant and arrogant. She said stubbornly: "Aren't they just the ladies of Midsummer? I can take them casually." arrive!"
“Hahahaha!” Pei Jingshan seemed to have heard some big joke, and she could hardly stand upright with laughter.
Several guests around him looked over.
Pei Jingyu saw this and scolded with some displeasure: "Jingshan, pay attention to your manners."
Pei Jingshan was shocked then. She put on the usual posture taught by Teacher Gao and stopped laughing gracefully. However, her eyes still looked at Xia Ling with disdain and contempt, as if she were watching a monkey.
Pei Jingyu also said with a smile but not a smile: "You want to be a famous lady in Midsummer? Well, you are really ambitious. How about we make a bet? If you can't become a famous lady in Midsummer, get out of the Pei family."
This bet was a bit big, so Xia Ling finally wasn't stupid enough and said, "I won't bet."
"What, are you scared?" Pei Jingyu laughed at her, "Those who come from the orphanage are those who come from the orphanage. They can't be on the stage."
Xia Ling was very angry: "You don't deserve to be on the stage!"
“Then why don’t you bet?”
Xia Ling bit her lip and said nothing. If she was the only one involved, of course she would have taken the gamble, but her sister Xia Yu was still lying in the hospital! What if she leaves the Pei family and Xia Yu is kicked out?
“I just don’t gamble!” she said.
“Coward.” Pei Jing said with disdain.
"I think she just depends on Brother Ziheng and refuses to leave," Pei Jingshan smiled, "Little beggar, you don't have to bet, just get out of this flower viewing party now, and we won't care about you. . Otherwise, I will tell everyone that there is a little beggar here who dreams of becoming a midsummer socialite!"
