Chapter 1398 Meeting with Pei Ziheng

Several people chatted and laughed, and came to the scene of the flower viewing feast.

The waiters who greeted guests at the door were all wearing Chinese-style blue cloth shirts and respectfully opened the car door for them.

This year's organizer is an antique tycoon. It has been clearly stated on the invitation that the theme of the flower viewing banquet is "Ancient Style", and all guests are requested to dress in an elegant style. Xia Yingluo and the three of them also followed the local customs. She herself chose a plain tulle dress with a mixture of Ao Dai and cheongsam styles. She had long hair with hairpins, which was elegant and moving. Li Shaohui is wearing a dark tunic suit. The material and tailoring are first-class, which is very suitable for his status as the heir of a large family. As for Li Rui, he was more casual, wearing ostentatious brocade and pretending to be a proud young man from the Republic of China. The three of them were all handsome men and beautiful women, and they attracted the attention of many people as soon as they got out of the car.

They have long been accustomed to this kind of attention ceremony, and they walked in slowly with the welcoming waiter.

The courtyard chosen this time is also quite ancient, with pavilions, waterside pavilions, bamboo shadows intertwined with wind lotuses, and a subtle fragrance floating in the air.

A gracefully curved water channel divides the courtyard into two ends, connected by a simple wooden bridge. Along this clear water channel, seats are scattered everywhere. On the low table are shiny and moist celadon tableware, Xiang Fei bamboo chopsticks, and several luminous cups. .

Li Rui took the seat first and said with a smile: "Are you going to play with the music?"

The waiter said respectfully: "There is such a fun program, Second Young Master Li, Eldest Young Master, Miss Xia, please use it slowly."

Li Rui still smiled: "I don't know how to write poetry. I'm afraid I will make a fool of myself today." The meandering wine glass is an elegant thing handed down from the ancients. A small tray is used to carry the wine glass floating in the water. Whoever stops in front of the wine glass will win. I want to compose a poem.

The waiter smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Yu said that it would be too boring if it was a scripted show. He was afraid that the young masters and ladies would find it boring, so he made some improvements to the show. You will definitely like it." This is the time Mr. Yu gave the reward. The owner of the Flower Banquet, who has been a big boss for so many years, is naturally well versed in social skills, so this kind of event with a blind date nature will not be taken too seriously.

Xia Yingluo didn't listen much to the conversation between her second brother and the waiter. She looked around calmly with her beautiful eyes. She saw several people sitting on the other side of the canal a few meters away from her seat. The leader was also sitting with her. The elder brother also wore an elegant navy blue tunic suit - in fact, most of the men who came to the banquet chose this kind of attire - with a calm and majestic expression, it was Pei Ziheng.

She whispered to herself: "Uncle Pei."

Li Shaohui heard this and turned his head to take a look: "Is he Pei Ziheng?" In the past few years, Li Shaohui has been in charge of the family business, and he and Pei Ziheng have had several confrontations, but one was at home and the other was abroad, so they never took it seriously. Been to real people.

Xia Yingluo said "Yes", "Would you like to accompany me to say hello?"

Li Shaohui smiled warmly: "Okay." After saying that, he reached out and patted Li Rui's shoulder beside him, "Xiao Rui, Yingluo and I will leave, and you can play by yourself first."

Li Rui raised his head: "Where are you going?"

Li Shaohui raised his chin to indicate Pei Ziheng's direction.

Li Rui was very interested: "Is he Pei Ziheng? I'll go with you." People have long heard about the love-hate relationship between this legendary boss and his parents, but he has never been able to see it in real life. He is not satisfied with this person who can make his father angry. The big shot who has to jump is very curious.

Li Shaohui smiled again: "If you dare to go there, believe it or not, Dad will skin you when you go back?"

"Why?" Li Rui was unhappy, "You and Yingluo can go, but I can't?"

"I once stayed in the emperor's training camp for a year and received a lot of care from Uncle Pei. It's appropriate to say hello in the past. The eldest brother is accompanying me as the eldest brother." Xia Yingluo smiled and gloated, "What about you, what's your name? ?”

"I'm your brother too." Li Rui insisted, but didn't insist.

Being as smart as him, he quickly realized that he and the Pei family had nothing to do with each other. As juniors, if they all took the initiative to visit Pei Ziheng, it would be too grand, as if they were putting the Pei family down. Even Shao Hui accompanied him in the name of "eldest brother Yingluo", which meant, "I am here in a private capacity, not on behalf of the family heir", so as not to give others the blame.

Xia Yingluo smiled: "Good boy, we'll come as soon as we go."

"Good girl." Li Rui made an aggressive gesture to her, she smiled and took Li Shaohui's hand and ran away.

The two circled half a circle from the bridge and came to the seat of the Pei family.

In addition to Pei Ziheng, there were several juniors present, including Pei Yan and Pei Chengyou brothers and sisters, sitting on one side at this time and not daring to breathe.

Xia Yingluo smiled and called out, "Uncle Pei."

Pei Ziheng raised his head and said in a gentle voice: "Come?" In fact, he had already noticed the children of the Li family as soon as they sat down. In other words, he specially arranged for people to sit diagonally opposite the Li family just so that they could sit there. Take a good look at the seats of the Li family. It has been several years since he attended the flower-viewing banquet of celebrities in midsummer. This time he attended, just because he heard that she had returned to China, and he had a longing in his heart, hoping to see her at the banquet - the one who made him miss him day and night. woman. It's a pity that the moment he saw the three brothers and sisters of the Li family, he knew that he was going to be disappointed.

Xia Yingluo stood in front of him politely, looking like a lady, and responded with a smile: "Yes, here we come. When I saw you here, Uncle Pei, I came over to say hello. By the way, this is my eldest brother Li Shaohui, This is probably the first time I’ve met Uncle Pei.”

Li Shaohui stepped forward and called out, "Uncle Pei, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Pei Ziheng nodded slightly, "Shaohui? You've grown so big, I don't have much to give you as a greeting gift."

Li Shaohui's smile froze, and he remembered that he had heard someone say that he was raised by Pei Ziheng for a while when he was a child, and he was half of his adoptive father. However, Pei Ziheng's words were clearly hostile. How come he and his sister, both Li Lei's children, were treated so differently? However, for just a moment, his smile was neither humble nor arrogant: "I would also like to thank Uncle Pei for taking care of my sister-in-law a while ago."

Pei Ziheng said indifferently: "It's just a little effort."

The atmosphere was a little awkward. Pei Ziheng was obviously not in a good mood. Shao Hui and Yingluo didn't intend to stay long. They said hello and quickly went back to their seats. As he walked, Li Shaohui said to his sister: "This man is so cruel. You should have less contact with him in the future."

Xia Yingluo said: "He has raised you, but you say he is cruel?"

Li Shaohui said: "One code is another code. He has raised me and even thought about killing me. Don't look at his gentle face. Such people are the most terrifying. I have been in contact with him several times in the mall. , his... methods are extremely cruel, the plot is extremely bad, and the style is extremely fierce, but on the surface he still looks like a spring breeze. Sometimes I really don’t know how our father won when he was young."
