Chapter 1197 - Favorite Little Girl

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chairman Pei was obviously supporting the little girl! Why was he being indulgent towards her?

Everyone was tactful and just looked down and didn’t speak.

Some daring people daringly tried to curry favor with her. “The dishes here don’t match your taste? Why don’t you come to play at my family’s gold club another day? Our chefs are very special and the dishes they make are not easily eaten outside. Chairman Pei, why don’t you come along? I heard that your golf is amazing, how about giving us face and pointing us out?”

The person who said this could see clearly how different Pei Ziheng’s attitude was to this little girl. He might even have taken a liking towards her. It was better to be quick-witted and act as a middleman for them. Most importantly, he could tighten his relationship with Chairman Pei.

Many people also realized the same thing and secretly hated this man for taking the opportunity to invite the two of them to his golf club.

Xia Yingluo was busy eating and replied without even raising her head, “I won’t go.”

The man didn’t expect her to not give him face and his expression changed slightly. The other people were also extremely shocked. Was this little girl stupid? Now that Pei Ziheng had taken a fancy to her, didn’t she know how to create more opportunities to get closer to Pei Ziheng? Once she was on his golden thigh, she wouldn’t have to worry for the rest of her life! But she was incredible, she didn’t just push away his golden thighs, she also conveniently offended the big boss of this gold club. She was really...

Really...

She didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!

A group of people was still silently criticizing her when they saw Pei Ziheng add food to her bowl personally. He said in a warm voice, “You’re called Xia Yingluo?”

“Yes.” She picked up the dish he had just taken for her. “I don’t want goose paws, it’s not delicious.”

Pei Ziheng didn’t even get angry. “What about steamed eggs with clams?”

“Okay.” She took a big bite of the steamed egg he handed over, without any consciousness that she had just been served by the biggest big boss of Imperial Entertainment.

The guests at the table felt like they were dreaming.

They had heard how Chairman Pei had doted on Xia Ling without regard for natural morality, but after the death of the legendary queen, he had never pampered any girl that way again. Many juniors in the business world even thought that his love story with Xia Ling was just a legend that people beautified and exaggerated on throughout time.

But now, after seeing how he was treating Xia Yingluo, they were all in disarray.

It turned out that he really could treat women well?

This Xia Yingluo, what good deed had she done in the past to be able to attract the attention of Chairman Pei?

Pei Ziheng asked her slowly, “What do your parents do, and who else is in the family?”

Xia Yingluo told him details according to the fake materials that her family had made for her. She was full and felt that the man wasn’t very easy to deal with, so she said, “I’m leaving, I’m going back to practice at the training camp. Uncle Pei, thank you for the meal.”

The guests were all bewildered. Uncle... Pei?! Little girl, as a humble trainee, what qualifications do you have to call him uncle, you should just call him “Chairman” like how everyone else does! What’s more, even if she wanted to get closer to him, she shouldn’t call him uncle! He has already made it clear he was interested in you, was it really okay to use such an old term to call him?

Pei Ziheng’s eyes darkened slightly and he said slowly, “Today is a holiday for the training camp. You stay here and have fun.”

Xia Yingluo was not sure what he meant. Has he really taken a liking to her? She looked at his expression and didn’t think it was that of a man looking at a woman, but rather... an elder looking at a junior he hadn’t met for a long time.

Could her identity have been revealed?

She glanced suspiciously at Pei Ziheng, hesitated, then nodded and promised to stay.

It was best if her identity wasn’t revealed. If it was, she didn’t know if Pei Ziheng would look after her for the sake of her mother, or make things difficult for her because of her father. But in any case, it wasn’t a good thing. If Pei Ziheng looked after her because she was “Xia Ling’s daughter”, her trial would fail and she would be considered cheating. If Pei Ziheng made things difficult for her, it would be very troublesome as well. He was an extremely difficult character just like her own father Li Lei...

Xia Yingluo weighed her options carefully a thousand times. In the end, she felt she had to find out more about Pei Ziheng’s intentions.

Staying at the banquet was the best option. If Pei Ziheng didn’t look for her, it would mean that everything was fine. If he looked for her, she could further observe if he had taken a fancy to her or if he had discovered her identity. Then, she could respond in time.

The meal slowly dispersed from everyone’s mind.

Xia Yingluo took a walk in the garden to aid digestion, bored stiff.

The teacher from the training camp, Jiang Bilian, and the others hurried to find her. While she looked leisurely, the others all had on bad expressions

The teacher said, “Xia Yingluo, do you know that you almost caused a big disaster today? Why didn’t you follow the routine during the dance? And you even embarrassed Pei Yan in public, it’s ridiculous!”

Xia Yingluo knew that her teacher would criticize her violently. She paid little attention to her and said lazily, “Everything has happened already. We can’t go back to the past even if you scold me, teacher, so save your energy.” She yawned a little, her stomach bloated.

Her attitude made the teacher furious. “Do you really think that the training camp dare not expel you?!”

“Expel me, then.” She was really a little bloated. She grabbed a few fruits from the waiter’s tray to digest a little.

She could see the teacher’s veins on her forehead jumping, and Jiang Bilian and the others also looked very angry. They had all entered the banquet as staff members and weren’t entitled to enjoy the various foods and drinks there. They even had to eat a takeaway box for their lunch in the crowded work area. But Xia Yingluo? She was even personally invited by Imperial Entertainment’s big boss Pei Ziheng to go to the main table and feast on all the good food!

At the thought of Pei Ziheng, the teacher’s senses came back.

Chairman Pei liked her so much, maybe she was really going to flourish! It wasn’t suitable to lecture her like before anymore.

So, the teacher took a deep breath and put on a cheerful expression. “I’ll bring Jiang Bilian and the rest back to the training camp. Since Chairman Pei wants you to stay, you can play here. Just send me a message on whether you’ll be returning to the training camp tonight so I won’t worry.”

Xia Yingluo frowned slightly. What did she mean by not returning to the training camp at night? Who did they think she was?

So she said a little grumpily, “Don’t worry, teacher, I know my limits.”

She walked away.

Leaving behind the awkward teacher, and the rest of them who looked down on her but were also jealous of her.

“Humph, what is she so arrogant for,” Zhu Zhu said indignantly beside Jiang Bilian. “Chairman Pei only took pity on her and gave her food, but look at how arrogant she is! I’m afraid that Chairman Pei has already forgotten who she is!”
