Chapter 1018

The lady shook her head, disappointed.

Her companion also sighed: "What a pity." Such a beautiful girl had a poor background. Although her background in the upper class does not determine everything, it also determines most of the value of a person, especially a girl.

The two sighed for a while.

In the pavilion not far away, the breeze is gentle and the fragrance of flowers is faint. Pei Jingyu wore a light white pearl silk dress, with her long hair as smooth as a waterfall carefully styled. She elegantly sat next to her grandfather Pei Zhenyuan with her cousin Pei Jingshan, drinking tea and accompanying her. Grandpa's friend was talking.

Grandpa’s friend’s surname is Xiao. He is in his sixties and is a giant in the jewelry business. At this time, he looked at the two young girls lovingly and said, "Jingyu and Jingshan are getting more and more beautiful. It's a pity that my grandson is already engaged. Otherwise, I really want to marry such a charming girl." Let the girl marry and go home."

The two sisters smiled appropriately and bowed their heads.

Pei Zhenyuan laughed: "Old Xiao, if you really want to marry my family, you can marry Meng Yu."

Mr. Xiao also laughed, half joking and half serious: "Okay, I have fallen in love with your grandnephew Zi Heng, will you let him marry him? Among these young people, Zi Heng is the most promising, young and promising."

"Okay, Old Xiao, you have such a discerning eye," Pei Zhenyuan also half-joked, "Which one of my Zida and Zijian is not a top-notch talent? Why hang yourself on a tree like Zi Heng? All girls who want to marry Zi Heng are waiting in line. I went to the Pacific Ocean, but this guy is not enlightened and has no thoughts at all. I am worried."

Mr. Xiao smiled and said: "It's good that young people put their careers first." His grandson got engaged last year. This time he came to the flower viewing banquet to find a good family for his granddaughter, so he came here at this time The reason for chatting with Pei Zhenyuan was not for the two rich ladies in front of him, but for Pei Ziheng.

Among the young people of this generation of wealthy families, Pei Ziheng is recognized as the most outstanding.

Many young ladies flocked to him, and parents and elders were also happy to match him.

It's a pity that Pei Ziheng's mind is not on this at all. He has not shown his face at the flower viewing banquet since he inherited the family business two years ago. It is difficult to see him. He can only break through the old man Pei Zhenyuan.

Why doesn't Pei Zhenyuan know Mr. Xiao's thoughts? However, he really couldn't be the boss of his grand-nephew. The grand-nephew had a very stubborn temper. He probably already had an idea in his mind about when and whom to marry. Other people's opinions were only reference at best and could not play a decisive role at all.

However, the grandnephew's vision was quite good.

Even if he has an idea, Pei Zhenyuan believes that he can make the best choice for the family.

As soon as this thought came to an end, Pei Jingshan, who was sitting beside her, exclaimed: "Look, isn't that my cousin?" Following her line of sight, she saw Pei Ziheng standing in the crowd wearing a finely crafted formal suit. Surrounded by people, he was gentle and elegant, with excellent appearance. He had a beautiful little girl on his arm and was talking to others.

"Cousin? Why is he here?" Pei Jingyu was also surprised.

Mr. Xiao looked over there. He was happy at first. His granddaughter Mengyu was here today, and the two children could finally talk to each other... However, he immediately became confused, who was the little girl next to Pei Ziheng? It could be seen that he was very protective of her, and his body was tilted toward her intentionally or unintentionally, in a protective posture.

He asked his doubts.

Pei Zhenyuan frowned, with a vague guess in his mind, and glanced at Pei Jingyu.

Pei Jing understood the language and said to the two elders eloquently: "The girl next to my cousin is called Xia Ling. She was adopted by him when he went to the orphanage to do charity a few days ago. My cousin is kind-hearted and saw the poor girl The child can't help but sympathize." Her voice was gentle, just like what a noble lady should be, but she was surprised and angry in her heart - not long ago, she had laughed at Xia Ling for not being qualified to come to this flower viewing. Banquet, now Xia Ling has appeared! Isn't this a naked slap in her face?

Pei Zhenyuan had long known that Pei Ziheng had adopted a little girl, and he had also heard his granddaughter complain aggrievedly about how the little girl was arrogant and domineering and hurt her and several sisters with boiling hot tea. Therefore, he had already had a prejudice against Xia Ling. Now when he saw the real person, his first reaction was not that she was beautiful, but...

"There are no rules, why did you bring her to the banquet?" Pei Zhenyuan said displeased.

When Mr. Xiao heard that Xia Ling had this identity, he felt relieved and said cheerfully: "Zi Heng is really kind. It would be good to bring that little girl out to see the world." As long as the little girl is not a famous lady from another family, she will not marry him. His precious granddaughter is competing for a marriage partner, and he doesn't care whether he adopts her or not.

Adopted children have no status, so Mr. Xiao simply ignored Xia Ling.

He said to Pei Zhenyuan and the two young ladies, "I haven't seen Zi Heng for a long time. I'm taking Meng Yu to say hello. Brother Zhenyuan, I'll excuse you now." He said goodbye to them and walked away.

Pei Zhenyuan smiled and watched Mr. Xiao go away, and then his face darkened: "How decent!"

Pei Jingyu knew that he was scolding Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling, so she said softly: "Grandpa, please calm down. My eldest cousin was not like this before. He has changed a lot since he adopted that wild girl. He doesn't care about any rules, etiquette, or brother-sister relationship. Grandpa, it was that wild girl who confused Brother Datang, if you want to blame, blame that wild girl."

"Huh!" Pei Zhenyuan snorted coldly.

Without saying anything, he agrees with what Pei Jingyu said in his heart, what good can a wild girl do? At first, when Pei Ziheng brought her home, he didn't take her seriously because he only regarded Xia Ling as an insignificant cat or dog. But now, this cat and dog not only bullied his own granddaughter, but also entered the room openly and came to participate in the ceremony. How can this kind of celebrity not make him angry when he socializes?

You know, there are so many granddaughters in the Pei family, and they can only bring out two or three granddaughters every year!

The number of invitations sent out for the Flower Appreciation Banquet is limited. This time, a total of three invitations were given to the Pei family—Pei Zhenyuan, who is an important director and elder of the family, Pei Ziheng, the young head of the family, and Pei Ziheng, who won the title of "Midsummer Lady" at the last Flower Appreciation Banquet. Jingyu. Each invitation letter can only bring one companion to enter the venue. Pei Zhenyuan selected through layers of selection within the family, and finally selected Pei Jingshan, who has good looks and temperament, and her father and brother are of good status, to participate and give her a chance to show her face.

Pei Jingshan was ecstatic. You must know that the flower viewing feast is of great significance. Being brought in is itself a symbol of status in the family. If a certain family wants to marry a girl from the Pei family, then they are definitely more willing to marry the one who has shown their face at the flower viewing banquet and is valued by the family, rather than just a random one.

The Pei family is a huge family with many girls, such an opportunity is very rare.
