Chapter 1029: first dance
Chapter 1029 The First Dance
Especially Pei Jingyu and Pei Jingshan, sitting on the seats felt like sitting on pins and needles.
The eyes of the whole audience were focused on them, as if they were laughing at their failure. That's it for other wealthy ladies. The failure can be attributed to "their family's power and status are not as powerful as the Pei family", but what about the two ladies of the Pei family? Although they belong to the same family, the orthodox bloodline was actually defeated by an adopted girl!
How shameful is this?
Even Pei Jingyu, who has always been known for being noble and dignified, could not hold back her face.
However, she had to work up a hundred thousand nerves to straighten her back, and even put a generous and decent smile on her face to prove that she was not jealous of her sisters.
Pei Jingshan didn't have such self-restraint as her, so she muttered bitterly: "What's the big deal?"
Before she finished speaking, Mr. Pei Zhenyuan flew towards her with a dagger in his eye, almost cutting her into pieces - no matter what kind of grievances and hatreds there were behind closed doors between the Pei family members, when facing the outside world, they were all one. ! Why is this girl Jingshan so ignorant, showing off in front of so many guests at the banquet!
Pei Jingshan was startled by Pei Zhenyuan and did not dare to speak nonsense.
Pei Jingyu was also filled with resentment in her heart. This sister is so embarrassing! She has always regarded herself as the most distinguished young lady of the Pei family. In this case, she naturally wanted to save the face of the young ladies on behalf of the family, so she could only swallow her anger and say to Xia Ling: "Congratulations, Xiao Ling, for getting the title of Midsummer Lady. I Very happy for you."
Xia Ling was slightly startled. When did this young lady with eyes as high as her head become so generous?
However, it is always a good thing for someone to congratulate her. She smiled like a flower and thanked Pei Jing.
Pei Jingyu glanced at Pei Jingshan lightly: "Jingshan, why don't you quickly congratulate sister Xiaoling?" She was very gentle and dignified as an eldest sister.
Pei Jingshan was unwilling to give in, but looking at Pei Jingyu's faintly stern eyes, she did not dare to disobey. She bit her lip and was silent for a second, then reluctantly said, "Congratulations, Xiao Ling."
Xia Ling smiled brightly. Under the interweaving night lights in the small garden, she was as beautiful as an elf in a dream: "Thank you Jingshan, thanks to your permission this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get the midsummer lady so smoothly."
The conscience of heaven and earth, she really didn't mean to be angry with Pei Jingshan and the others, but she had seen too few big scenes, and could only say these two words of thanks over and over again. What concession? Pei Jingshan and Pei Jingyu were so angry that they almost vomited blood. Was this wild girl mocking them? What a deception!
Pei Jingshan's face became tense again, and she said bluntly: "I'm going to the bathroom."
He got up and left the table.
Many guests at the scene saw this scene and couldn't help but shake their heads secretly: Miss Jingshan of the Pei family is not very well-educated. She can't stand up when she encounters a slight depression. She doesn't seem to be a good match.
Several wealthy families who were considering marrying into the Pei family silently crossed out "Pei Jingshan" from their lists.
Here, Xia Ling has already put on a flower crown. The organizer smiled and said to her: "Congratulations, Miss Xia. Then, as usual, you will nominate a male guest for the first dance tonight. Who will you nominate?"
“Huh?” Xia Ling blinked, confused.
She has never learned to dance at all, oh no, she has learned to dance, but it is all self-taught performance dances performed by one person. She has never learned to dance as a couple at all! She looked at the host a little helplessly, and then at Pei Ziheng beside her.
Pei Ziheng stood up and took her arm gracefully: "Let's go." The whole crowd was in a commotion. Why, Director Pei wants to dance with her in person? ! Although there have been precedents for famous ladies in midsummer to dance with their fathers and brothers, but...but for a cold and unsmiling person like Pei Ziheng, let alone dancing, even dancing is hard to come by, right?
The moon comes out in the west today?
How much favor does this little girl have to let this great **** dance with her?
Xia Ling was also flattered by the various looks, but she was more worried. "Brother Pei." She called softly as she walked along the seats in the small garden to the dance floor.
Pei Ziheng stopped and looked down at her: "Huh?"
She moved her lips slightly, glanced around with some concern, but hesitated to speak.
The tall man bent down, lowered his head, and leaned close to her cheek.
Xia Ling stood up on her tiptoes slightly, covered her mouth in his ear, and whispered, "I, I can't dance."
A smile flashed in Pei Ziheng's eyes. He reached out and touched her head lovingly. Without a word of explanation, he led her and continued walking forward. She was even more uneasy, but firmly believed that he would not harm her, so she followed obediently.
“What are they talking about?” Other guests whispered in the small garden, “Did you notice that Pei Dong and that girl look so beautiful together, just like a painting.”
"Isn't it?" another guest said, "it's not common for people to be able to stand beside Dong Pei and not be overshadowed by their glory. Let alone us, even the old man Pei Zhenyuan of the Pei family, the old man of the Wang family, many big He and the rich ladies... all look dim when standing next to him. But this girl has such ability. She may look timid, but when she stands next to him, her presence is not weak at all. "
“No wonder Pei Dong wants to cultivate her into a new generation of emperors.” Someone suddenly realized.
Others nodded with sympathy and couldn't help but look forward to their dance.
Pei Ziheng took Xia Ling's hand and walked to the open-air dance floor full of lilacs and mimosa flowers. Under the starry sky, he gently held her waist with one hand and whispered, "Relax and just follow my steps."
Even if she can’t dance ballroom, so what?
His dancing skills have been rigorously trained since he was a child. As a gentleman, leading people is a basic skill.
Sure enough, when the music started playing, he skillfully led her to the depths of the dance floor. The bright starlight shone on the two of them. She was nervous at first and stepped on his foot, but he calmly guided her patiently.
"Heh, a wild girl is a wild girl." At some point, Pei Jingshan, who claimed to be going to the bathroom, returned to her seat and looked at Xia Ling on the dance floor with disgust, "My cousin danced so perfectly, how could he lead a loser like her?" What a pity!”
Pei Jingyu finally found an excuse to scold her: "You still dance at this level? It's really an embarrassment to our Pei family."
What she said seemed to be right. From far and near, many ladies at the seats were laughing and talking to each other: "Look at that Xia Ling, she has never learned to dance, right? She has stepped on Director Pei several times. , that is, Dong Pei has good manners and doesn't care about her, otherwise, she will definitely make a fool of herself!"
“Even so, I don’t know what Director Pei was thinking about dancing with such a wild girl.”
Yingying just arrived in XJ today and found that the network here... 555 is hard to describe. Anyway, I spent half an hour researching before connecting. Everyone has been waiting for a long time.
