Chapter 198 - Master Du Is Too Strict
Chapter 198: Master Du Is Too Strict
Pei Yunge couldn’t answer for a moment.
Huo Shidu asked again, “You don’t want to tell me?”
“No.”
Pei Yunge pulled up her hood and covered half of her face, only revealing a sharp chin. She slowly turned her head away. “I only found out today too.”
Hearing this, Huo Shidu glanced at Pei Yunge, the tip of his throat rolling slightly as he laughed softly. He did not ask further.
This child was really hard to manage.
…
The next evening.
Pei Yunge went straight to the Lus.
At the Huo Corporation.
In the office.
“Master Du, Miss Pei is going to the Lu family today. Aren’t you go with her?” Ceng Xu probed carefully.
“Just send them the gift you prepared.”
Hearing the man say this, Ceng Xu’s eyelids twitched.
Then why did you text Miss Pei so often today?
Didn’t he just want Miss Pei to let him go with her?!
Ceng Xu cursed silently, but did not dare to show it on his face.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes and he said quickly, “But the Yu family is going! With President Yu’s appearance, there will definitely be another upheaval.”
“Upheaval?”
Huo Shidu looked at him with his pale-colored pupils and his slender fingers tapped on the table casually.
“It’s just that… many socialites will think of ways to get in touch with President Yu.”
In the past, Ceng Xu had always taken Huo Shidu’s place to attend those parties. He naturally knew how popular Yu Hanran was to those socialites and young ladies.
As long as there was competition, these self-proclaimed noble young ladies would definitely be jealous of each other.
And someone like Pei Yunge, who did not know the socialites in the circle, was the easiest to be left out.
After a while.
Seeing that Huo Shidu was silent, Ceng Xu added, “Since President Yu knows Miss Pei, he will definitely go up and greet her. When that time comes, Miss Pei…” She would become a thorn in the flesh.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Shidu.
“Tell Yu Hanran to behave himself.”
Huo Shidu opened his eyes slightly. His tone was light and lazy, but it somehow sounded suffocating.
At this moment.
Even Ceng Xu could not react. He had yet to finish speaking, why was Master Du so unhappy?!
Suddenly, he regained his senses and looked at Huo Shidu with a complicated expression.
President Yu couldn’t even greet Miss Pei??
Was Master Du being too strict??
…
At the Lus.
The garden was scenic and pleasant. The lights and candlelight reflected each other’s splendor, and there was a jovial atmosphere around.
“Jiaojiao, you’re finally here!”
Ling Jiwei was wearing a specially prepared gown and looked extremely pretty.
“Now that my leg is injured, I have to thank Zihuai for bringing me all the way here.”
Sitting in the wheelchair, Qin Youjiao looked at Cheng Zihuai with a sweet and shy expression.
“Yes, you have to thank him properly. If it wasn’t for Senior Cheng, Miss Qin’s stunning piano melody would have been missing from the party.”
Ling Jiwei said deliberately.
“What are you talking about? I just wanted to come and visit Grandma Lu. Today is her birthday and I went overseas for a year of training last year, so I didn’t get to send her any gifts.”
With that said, Qin Youjiao had just finished speaking when suddenly, someone put a suit jacket on her shoulders.
When she turned around, she saw Cheng Zihuai say with a smile, “The wind is so strong, don’t catch a cold.”
“Aren’t you being too biased, Senior Cheng? I’m wearing even less than Jiaojiao, so why aren’t you putting it on for me?” Ling Jiwei teased.
“Jiaojiao is frail.”
Although Cheng Zihuai said this, his eyes remained gentle as he stared at Qin Youjiao.
