Xia Ling looked up too, tears running down her beautiful little face.

She saw Pei Ziheng wearing a finely crafted suit and bringing along a person who appeared to be his secretary. The secretary looked hurriedly towards them, her expression fearful. Xia Ling seemed to have seen a close relative and shouted, “Brother Pei!”

Many people looked at her in horror. What had this crying little girl just called Pei Ziheng?

Even more shocking was what happened next. Pei Ziheng stepped forward and knelt down directly in front of the little girl. He looked at her carefully and asked in a gentle voice that had never been heard from him before, “Are you hurt?”

She cried and reached out her arm to show him. Then she complained in a rush. “That Sister Li has broken the dried flower bookmark I’d brought. I wanted her to pay for it and she hurt my hand!”

Li Bingyu’s expression changed. Although she had guessed that this little girl’s background was special, she had not expected her background to be Pei Ziheng! Under the heavens, how many people could whine and complain to Pei Ziheng? She was probably the only one on this earth! Looking at the gentle and patient look on Pei Ziheng’s face, Li Bingyu felt that this time, things had gotten out of hand. The other onlookers’ expression also worsened. On the one hand, they were shocked by the familiar relationship between Xia Ling and Pei Ziheng. On the other hand, they still had to wipe away their cold sweat—

This little girl was really smooth at complaining! Thank God they hadn’t offended her!

The onlookers secretly rejoiced and looked at Li Bingyu with sympathy.

Pei Ziheng carefully picked up Xia Ling’s hand and saw that her small white hand was now red and swollen. He couldn’t help but frown. “Let Secretary Zhou put some medicine on your hand later,” he said. “Why have you come here without even telling me. I could have gotten someone to pick you up.”

Xia Ling was still crying incessantly. “I wanted to give you a surprise, look.” She opened the hand that had been bunched into fists. In her palm was the dried flower bookmark that was now broken into pieces. “This was made painstakingly by Xiao Yu. She told me to bring it to you, but, but, that Sister Li stepped on it deliberately...”

She cried loudly again. This time, she simply threw herself into Pei Ziheng’s arms.

Pei Ziheng hugged onto her, his palm lightly patting her thin back. He said in a gentle voice, “Okay, it’s alright. Brother Pei will help you.”

This time, even the secretary who had come with him had to wipe her cold sweat. No wonder Chu Chen had said that this little girl had a strong fighting ability. When she had complained about Li Bingyu stepping on her bookmark, she had intentionally added the word “deliberately”. Most importantly, Pei Ziheng had said he was going to help her right her wrongs!

Secretary Zhou had been with him for so many years. When had she seen Pei Ziheng righting someone’s grievances?

Imperial Entertainment and the whole Pei family believed in the law of the weak falling prey to the strong. Not to mention the general staff, even the high-level staff like Chu Chen, or distinguished cousins like Pei Jingyu, had never had Pei Ziheng stepping out to help them before. This little girl... what was so special about her?

Secretary Zhou looked at Xia Ling differently now.

She quietly stepped back and took out her mobile phone to call her subordinate at the secretary department. “Hurry up and find a doctor, the best there is. There’s a little girl here whose hand has been caught by the elevator door. And bring disinfectant and red syrup, snacks, and candy... I don’t know what she likes, so just buy one of everything. Hurry.”

She was no doubt quick-witted to be able to be in such a high position. From the attitude of Pei Ziheng towards Xia Ling, Secretary Zhou had already done a proper job of the follow-up work.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Over there, Xia Ling cried and said to Pei Ziheng, “Tell her to pay me for my bookmark!”

“Yes.”

Pei Ziheng responded simply. He caressed her soft hair gently, then stood up and looked at Li Bingyu.

Li Bingyu felt her blood run cold under his gaze. She put up a bold face and said, “Chairman.” She was extremely regretful now. If she had known about this sooner, why would she have offended her? If she wanted to use the elevator first, then let her. Even if she was the Queen, how was she to compete with the precious darling of Pei Ziheng?

However, this little girl was really hateful...

Li Bingyu was extremely angry. She didn’t even say that she had such a big background, was she trying to harm her deliberately!

She really wanted to cut Xia Ling into pieces.

Fortunately, she had not wasted her years in the entertainment industry. She resisted her grievances and anger in her heart and said docilely to Pei Ziheng, “Chairman, this time it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have stepped on the lady’s bookmark ‘accidentally’. I’m really sorry, I’ll remedy it.”

She deliberately added an accent on the word “accidentally”.

That bad brat, what did she mean she had done it deliberately? She wanted to tear her mouth apart!

Even if she had indeed done it deliberately, at this time, she could not say anything except that it had been accidental! She didn’t want to ruin the acting career she had built up with painstaking efforts just over this matter!

Who knew that the sobbing and sniffling girl would wipe her tears and interject. “You did it on purpose! You did!”

Li Bingyu’s face turned black. What was this brat saying? On the surface, however, she couldn’t do anything but plaster a smile on her face and say, “I’m really sorry, Miss. It’s all a misunderstanding. How could I have deliberately stepped on your bookmark? I was too anxious and did not notice it. I’ll pay you with many more beautiful bookmarks, okay?”

“No!” Xia Ling cried again. “You did it deliberately! You did! That bookmark was made personally by Xiao Yu. Even if you gave me a hundred and ten thousand it wouldn’t matter! You can’t afford it! Boohoo...”

She was crying so heartbrokenly that Pei Ziheng felt his heart ache. He said gently, “Okay, Brother Pei knows that she did it on purpose. Brother Pei will give you justice. Don’t cry anymore, you’ve become a small kitten already.”

He got someone to bring tissues over and bent down to wipe the tears on her face.

The onlookers had never seen Pei Ziheng pacify a child before. They were all collectively shocked.

“This isn’t an illusion, right...” An onlooker whispered to her colleague. “Quickly pinch me, how could the Chairman be so gentle?! He knows how to pacify a child?!”

His colleagues on the side also said as if in a trance, “I want you to pinch me...”

The onlookers were all watching the show as if drunk and stupefied. Only Li Bingyu’s heart was tormented, and she was as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Since things had come to this, she could only try to save herself. “Chairman, I really didn’t do it deliberately! This little lady has really misunderstood me! So many people have witnessed what had happened, where’s the evidence that it was on purpose?”

Pei Ziheng said sternly, “Xiao Ling’s word itself is evidence.”

Li Bingyu: “...”

Secretary Zhou: “...”

The crowd: “...”

Could he be any more unreasonable?!

They had finally seen the extent to which the Chairman would go to pamper a child!
