His voice was cold and low—
“Have you had enough fun?”
Pei Yaochi tightened her grip on the blanket. She bit her lips before letting go slowly. Her voice was stubborn and aggrieved.
“I’m not playing…”
Pei Yunze lowered his gaze and looked at her coldly. His body was surrounded by a layer of coldness and darkness. He didn’t speak for a long time. Pei Yaochi looked up at him and quickly lowered her head when she saw his cold face.
When he saw the girl’s red eyes, he narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips.
“Aren’t you very promising?” he said coldly. His well-defined fingers knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair. There was a hint of dignity and mockery in his voice. “You’ve ruined yourself.”
Pei Yaochi didn’t say anything. She had been pampered since she was young. Back then, in order to take a gamble with her family, she had experienced the coldness and warmth of humans outside. Now that the person close to her was beside her, she didn’t care about her reputation anymore. She threw a tantrum at her family and pretended that she was doing well. She had long forgotten about her unwillingness to lower her head.
At this moment, there was only endless grievance left in her heart. Her eyes were like pearls falling.
“I… I’m… useless… I… despise myself… I don’t need you to laugh at me…”
Pei Yunze didn’t expect Pei Yaochi to suddenly cry. She looked like she had suffered a huge grievance. What she said made him not know whether to laugh or cry.
Shao Ting raised his head and glanced at his young master. Although he still looked calm on the surface, he more or less knew that his master was panicking internally.
She had never seen him deal with a woman before, especially when he made her cry…
Previously at home, he couldn’t do anything to Little Miss and this lady. Now…
Because she had been watching him closely, she did not expect to see an imperceptible twitch on her young master’s indifferent face.
Shao Ting quickly looked away and couldn’t help but smile.
Everyone was also confused by the scene before them.
“What… is going on?”
“Why did the young master of the Pei family suddenly get beaten up?”
“Is he related to Pei Yaochi?”
The surrounding people whispered to each other as they stared at Pei Yaochi, who was crying louder and louder. Their faces were filled with confusion.
“Alright, stop crying!”
Pei Yunze’s expression changed again and again. His patience seemed to have run out and he couldn’t help but roar.
Pei Yaochi choked and stopped crying. Then, she looked up at Pei Yunze with her swollen eyes. Her nose was red from crying.
Pei Yunze stared at her with a look of grievance… as if he was about to explode again.
Xia Yao’s eyes were fixed on Pei Yunze. From the whispers of the people around her, she knew that he was the owner of this seven-star hotel and the heir of the Pei Corporation. Her heart skipped a beat.
As expected of someone from a wealthy family. Not to mention her outstanding figure and looks, just her temperament and status were enough to make people yearn for her.
The heir of the Pei Corporation…
But why did he…
“Why? Boss Pei, I didn’t provoke you. What right do you have to get someone to hit me?”
She was indignant. Why would such an unattainable man attack her for no reason?
She didn’t believe that he would attack her because he couldn’t stand what she had said to Pei Yaochi!
Pei Yunze glanced at her. “So what if I hit you? Why should I?”
Xia Yao’s face turned pale. It was hard for a woman to accept being hated by such a man.
“I just want to know why…”
Pei Yunze retracted his gaze coldly and lowered his gaze to Pei Yaochi, who was still crying.
“Take back your tears.”
Pei Yaochi pouted and frowned, but she stopped crying.
“If you scold me again… I’ll tell Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt… and Little Four when I get back…”
If Little Four knew that she had been bullied by her brother, she would definitely avenge her!
The more Pei Yaochi spoke, the more stupid she felt. There were so many people at home who doted on her. She must have lost her mind to run out of the house!
“Think about breaking a few legs when you get back.”
Thinking of her father, Pei Yaochi couldn’t help but shrink her neck.
She raised her misty eyes and looked at Pei Yunze again. In the end, she reached out and tugged at the hem of Pei Yunze’s suit. She bit her lips and said pitifully,
“Brother…”
“…”
“…”
“…”
Everyone’s eyes widened in shock.
Gu Zeyan’s pupils constricted and the shock on his face was no less than anyone else.
“What brother?”
“Young Master Pei’s sister… Young Master Pei does have a sister, but isn’t she in the capital… and not Pei Yaochi?”
“Pei Corporation… Pei Yaochi… Pei…”
“Isn’t there a chief in the Pei family? He’s Young Master Pei’s uncle… Could Pei Yaochi be…”
Everyone gasped in their hearts.
Could she be… the eldest daughter of the Pei family?!
“Everyone…”
A clear voice suddenly sounded in the hall, penetrating the entire banquet hall through the microphone.
Everyone’s attention was attracted by this cold voice. They turned to look at the main stage.
Shen Fanxing was wearing a champagne-colored gown with a low neckline. The collar of the gown was slightly opened, revealing her exquisite collarbones.
The design of the gown was extremely simple. The main focus was on the design. The only eye-catching thing was the huge bow at her waist that wrapped around her slender waist.
Her slender waist and curves were fully revealed. Her figure was slender and the hem of her dress felt good.
The design of the gown was simple, but Shen Fanxing made it look unique and impossible to imitate.
She had the graceful figure of a woman, but she was also cold and domineering. She exuded a strong sense of distance, making people not dare to approach her easily.
She stood on the stage, but she seemed to be standing on a higher ground.
Pei Yunze raised his head and looked at Shen Fanxing. Seeing how calm and composed the woman was, he raised an eyebrow in admiration.
It was rare to see such a woman.
Wasn’t letting her marry Bo Jinchuan too easy?
Shen Fanxing was looking in their direction with a faint smile on her face.
“Thank you for being invited here today. In just a few months, Stars International has received so much attention and results. I’m indebted to everyone’s care and efforts. I won’t say anything official today. Next, I’ll announce a few things…”
