Chapter 117: Pei Li’s Plans
Tonight, Shen Xiaoxiao was dressed in gorgeous clothes. Not only that, the color of her clothes was already outstanding. In addition to her young age, her looks were even more superior. The moment she arrived at the banquet hall, she attracted the attention of many people.
She was young and beautiful. It was very difficult for Pei Li to ignore such a unique scenery.
Now that she saw Pei Li walking towards her, Shen Xiaoxiao stood in a corner as if nothing had happened. She looked around coldly and pretended not to see Pei Li walking over. She sized up her surroundings as if nothing had happened.
“Miss Lin, how have you been?” Pei Li was destined to be the center of attention tonight. He was the host, and he was not an ordinary person. The elegant young master was the bachelor of the crowd, and every move he made could affect the hearts of many people present.
Therefore, at this moment, he walked towards Shen Xiaoxiao in an ostentatious and unrestrained manner. According to his thoughts, as long as she was a woman, there was no one who did not like to be envied and watched by others.
However, Pei Li was destined to be disappointed. This woman was different from other women. Pei Li would never know what this woman cared about.
“You are?”
Just these two words had almost ruined Pei Li’s perfect image as a n.o.ble young master. Did she not know? She actually did not know who he was? Was she playing hard to get? Or was she playing dumb?
But no matter what, he was interested in this woman at this moment, so he didn’t mind playing along with her. He immediately took the champagne from the waiter beside him and placed it in front of Shen Xiaoxiao. He said, “I’m Pei Li. The main character of today’s banquet is my mother.”
“My lady doesn’t drink alcohol.” Before Shen Xiaoxiao could reply, and before Shen Xiaoxiao could take the gla.s.s of champagne, 19 suddenly interrupted Pei Li’s acting.
Pei Li choked. He could not help but turn his head to look at the person who actually interrupted their conversation. It was that bodyguard. He was really arrogant. However, it was somewhat similar to the fiery temper of Miss Lin in his memories. A dog really followed their owner…
Pei Li’s ident.i.ty meant that he couldn’t argue with a bodyguard. However, this miss was the first one who attended the banquet without a partner and a bodyguard.
However, when he remembered that this Miss Lin Weiwei was only a ‘burden’ to the Lin family, and this bodyguard was also a.s.signed by that stubborn Third Master Shen of the Shen family, he felt a little funny.
Because this girl who had such a bright and beautiful appearance, who pretended to be a fox and pretended to be a tiger, was acting very perfectly. If he did not know the inside story, perhaps he himself would have been deceived.
However, a girl who was so pretentious and greedy was much easier to deal with than a true daughter of an aristocratic family who had returned to China.
Moreover, this girl was actually acquainted with the legendary Miss Shen of the Shen family. Whether it was true or not, he wanted to personally find out from her mouth.
“This gentleman is really responsible, but I’m afraid Miss Lin has forgotten that we met at the hot spring pool in the suburbs a month ago.”
“Met? Is that so? I’m sorry, I really don’t remember.”
“You don’t remember? It doesn’t matter. Now that we’ve met again, let’s reintroduce ourselves. I’m Pei Li.”
Pei Li said it very simply. After saying that, he even reached out his hand to shake hands with Shen Xiaoxiao.
However, this time, the hand that he extended was once again slapped in the face by 19. Not only did he extend his hand to shake hands with her, he even said, “Miss never shakes hands with strangers.”
Pei Li was really a little unhappy this time. After being mercilessly attacked twice by a bodyguard, no one could hold back their anger.
However, he was the main character tonight. Furthermore, this bodyguard was brought here by Shen Xiaoxiao. Naturally, he could not directly slap her in the face. However, he could not take this lying down either. He said to 19, “You’re really loyal. It’s rare for you to know your master’s habits like the back of your hand. However, it seems that you’ve gone too far?”
These words were not polite at all. In modern times, there was no such thing as a master or a servant. What Pei Li said was nothing more than an insult to 19, a personal insult to him.
But who was 19? As a secret guard, these words did not hurt him at all.
Of course, there was no need for 19 to do anything at this moment. Shen Xiaoxiao quickly changed the topic and said to Pei Li, “Is it too much to ask? I don’t think so. Moreover, Mr. Pei, you seem to have more control, don’t you?”
Pei Li was stunned. He did not expect this woman to be so impolite after knowing his ident.i.ty. She was just playing hard to get. Who gave her the courage to be a burden? Did she really not understand or was she faking it?
Pei Li said these words without any consideration. It was clear that he did not care anymore. He wanted to expose this piece of paper and tell Shen Xiaoxiao clearly, what was there to be proud of? It was enough to hold it once or twice, but she did not give him any face over and over again, this was giving her face but not wanting it.
However, Pei Li was very good at scheming people’s hearts. If it was normal times, he would have the patience to play this kind of chase game with this kind of young lady, one must know that the feeling of chasing was sometimes several times stronger than the feeling of taking the initiative to approach.
However, what he wanted to know more tonight was about the eldest daughter of the Shen family. This was the main point. Pei Li had always been clear about the difference between playing with women and marrying a woman.
Moreover, since this Lin Weiwei was the daughter of the Lin family, and he could be considered to have reached an agreement with Lin Jiadong. There was no need for him to put in any effort. This woman would sooner or later climb into his bed.
Just now, he could be considered as ‘first polite, then military.’ But this result, humph, she didn’t know what was good for her.
“Miss Lin, your father, Lin, is here.”
Sure enough, when Shen Xiaoxiao heard him say this, her expression was indeed as he had expected. She quickly stepped down, but then she immediately pretended as if nothing had happened. Although this change of expression was fast… It still did not escape Pei Li’s eyes.
He had said it before. She was an orphan. Wouldn’t she be moved if she was taken home by her rich father? He did not believe it.
Shen Xiaoxiao naturally knew what Pei Li was thinking. She knew Pei Li too well. She knew very well what kind of person Pei Li was. Therefore, when she saw what Pei Li had said on purpose, she immediately understood.
Pei Li was beating her up and telling her clearly… She had already been betrayed by the Lin family. If she knew what was good for her, she would obediently submit and be obediently sent to bed. However, would Shen Xiaoxiao really do as he wished? Of course, it was impossible.
