Chapter 586: Please Invite The Preceptor Here
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
As the two were talking, someone walked in.
Xia Ling looked up from the flowers to see a lively white-haired man wearing a Chinese tunic suit. There was another familiar man beside Su Tang who was sizing her up.
To be exact, he sized her and Xia Moyan up.
Xia Ling stopped being relaxed, stood up straight, and politely greeted. “Old Master.” She had always been afraid of this Old Master. She was not afraid of his power, but rather because he was her beloved’s grandfather. She knew that Old Master was here to watch the concert, but it had already ended, so why did he come backstage? She was filled with questions, but it was inconvenient to reveal them.
Old Master was expressionless and did not say a word.
At the side, Xia Moyan’s expression was cold. What did he treat them as? He should really ask himself if he could treat the Xia Family’s daughter like that.
Seeing that there was some tension, Xia Ling forced out a smile. “Old Master, please sit. It’s quite messy here.” She took a large bouquet of roses off a chair and asked Old Master to sit down.
Xia Moyan’s expression turned colder. When he entered, Xiao Ling wasn’t even that respectful to him!
However, Old Master ignored her and did not sit down. He glanced at Xia Moyan and then at the large bouquet of roses that Xia Ling was holding. This woman really had loose morals. She was probably seeing many other men. How was she able to seduce his grandson so effectively?
Even if she weren’t cursed with a lonely fate, she was still not worthy!
With a disgusted look, he coldly asked Xia Ling. “Where is Li Lei?”
“Li Lei?” Xia Ling was startled. “I haven’t seen him after the concert ended.” He said that he would look for her backstage and send her home. This time, he would not go back on his word. However, Old Master approached her first and the concert had been over a long time, but Li Lei was nowhere to be seen.
“Really?” Old Master did not continue to speak, and Su Tang expressed doubt. Tonight, Su Tang was dressed in a white cheongsam with a red plum branch design. With delicate makeup, she looked elegant and n.o.ble. In contrast, Xia Ling was exhausted after singing for two hours during her concert.
She spoke very elegantly but sounded aggressive. “Young Master’s car is still in the parking lot. After the concert, I called him and he said he was going to look for you, so how could you not know? Miss Ye, just tell Old Master the truth. What’s the point of hiding?”
Before Xia Ling could say anything, Xia Moyan had already stepped in front to protect her.
“What right do you have to speak to Xiao Ling like that?” His voice was cold as he looked at Su Tang like he was looking at a pathetic ant. Su Tang met his gaze, but there was a sudden trepidation in her heart. It was so strange. This man looked calm, but why was his gaze so overbearing?
She could not tolerate it anymore and took a step back unconsciously.
His gaze was directed at Su Tang, so Old Master could not feel the pressure in his gaze. He only felt that the man in front of him was rather annoyed and Su Tang took a step back out of fear.
What was wrong with Su Tang recently?
Not only could she not capture Li Lei’s heart, she even lost momentum easily during her confrontation with strangers. Did she waste her time going to school? If she continued to be like that, how could she be the future mistress of the Li Family?
Old Master Li was dissatisfied with Su Tang, but on the surface, he still protected her. “It’s not your place to berate my people.”
“It’s also not your place to berate my people.” Xia Moyan said. In front of Old Master Li, he did not exert such a heavy overbearance but was as calm as a smooth water surface, not revealing the slightest emotion.
Old Master Li had read many people and realized that this man was not simple. People whom he could not fathom at one glance were too rare. He slightly composed himself and asked, “Who are you?”
“Me?” Xia Moyan said faintly. “You don’t need to know that.” In the world, there were countless people madly looking for him at all costs. If he reported his name at every location he went, Xia Moyan would never have a day of peace. He would not say the words “Preceptor Xia” unless it was necessary. As for his real name “Xia Moyan”? There were few people who were qualified to know that.
Old Master Li’s expression was ugly. No one dared to look down on him like that in his entire life.
“How dare you!” The steward beside Old Master rebuked. “Do you know who you are talking to?”
“Li Shanhe, am I right? Do you think you are that impressive?” Xia Moyan’s voice remained very light. “The Li Family is becoming less and less outstanding as the generations go by.” His father used to admire the Li Family and even accepted the Li Family’s request for help, helping them resolve a period of disaster. However, the next generation of the Li Family…
Wow, he even dared to bully the most honorable Phoenix of the Xia Family?
Xia Moyan couldn’t be bothered to waste his time on them. He lowered his head and said to Xia Ling, “Let’s go.”
“But I promised to wait for Li Lei…” Xia Ling said meekly.
Her brother glanced at her silently and she swallowed her words back.
In fact, this was just his reaction in front of people. If no one was there, Xia Moyan wanted to strangle her. It was said that girls tended to side with outsiders, but this stupid girl was taken advantaged of and was still trying to wait patiently for a man who went back on his promise. Seriously… where was her pride?
The Xia Family was about to be embarra.s.sed by her.
Xia Moyan seriously considered if he should let her get back into the family in advance and summon all of the paulownia woods of the world to host a giant blind date for her. He did not believe that he could not find a person who was better than Li Lei!
He grabbed Xia Ling’s hand as if there were no one there and walked out of the dressing room.
“Stop there!” The butler called after them.
However, Xia Moyan acted as if he did not hear him and took Xia Ling far away.
The three people from the Li Family were left in the dressing room. Old Master Li was about to explode. This Ye Xingling was too disrespectful! He originally wanted to make Li Lei go home and rain on Ye Xingling’s parade by warning her to stay away from Li Lei.
Unexpectedly, it seemed that someone else rained on his parade.
Who exactly was that cold man in white? He even dared to protect that stupid woman. Did he not know that she was cursed to live a lonely life? He was fearless of death and even dared to get so close to her!
Thinking of this, Old Master’s feelings after being rebuked by Xia Moyan improved a little. Hmph! It was better to let that irritating woman be with that reckless man instead of letting her harm his precious grandson!
“I told you all to investigate the whereabouts of The Preceptor. Why are there no results after so long?” Old Master Li reprimanded his butler. “Quickly find him and invite him over for Xiao Lei!” As long as he found The Preceptor and removed the binding spell on the amulet, he could kill that irritating woman once and for all.
If that irritating woman continued to have a dubious relations.h.i.+p with Li Lei…
Car accident, drowning…
Oh, he would have a way.
