Chapter 87 - Hostility Again
Chapter 87: Hostility Again
Shen Xiaoxiao had been walking slowly. Pei Li, who was secretly watching Shen Xiaoxiao, saw that the little girl did not follow the script that he had thought of. He instantly felt a crack in his heart. However, a strong desire to challenge her arose in his heart.
This was the first time that he had been rejected like this. Regardless of whether he was in school or in the upper-class circles, or if he was doing an internship at the company, as long as it was something or someone that he wanted to sell, there would be no one who would not hand it over to him.
Now, he had actually encountered such a joke, which completely aroused his interest. He began to wonder if this little girl was deliberately holding back, or if she did not like him. However, he felt that the second reason should not be… Regardless of whether it was his appearance, knowledge, or family background, he was very confident.
Then there was only one reason why this girl did not pay attention to him. She was holding back!
This understanding was based on Pei Li’s usual self-confidence. At this moment, he was alone in his fantasies while Shen Xiaoxiao was walking back to where Liu Mei was.
Liu Mei had seen everything that had just happened clearly. When she saw Shen Xiaoxiao walking over, she smiled and said, “Little girls like you are still the most lovable. Look at how good it is to be young. There are so many suitors.”
“Suitors? Aunt Liu, are you talking about that white chicken?”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s adjective made her eyebrows go blank. Then, she laughed out loud and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Weiwei, you mischievous little girl. That is not a white chicken. He is the Eldest Young Master of the Pei family, the third generation of the Pei family.”
“So what? I don’t like men who are too white. Look at him. He looks white, but he doesn’t look like a white chicken. This boy doesn’t look like a boy, he looks very weak. Now that strength is not involved, why would a man look so white for nothing?”
“Hahahaha, you lass. However, Aunt Liu feels that what you said makes sense. A boy who is too white doesn’t look good. However, this Young Master Pei is really outstanding. He is currently in his third year of postgraduate studies at the Capital University.”
“Furthermore, he has already started to get in touch with the family businesses. I heard that he has a few projects that he has developed himself. There are also small companies that he has set up outside. All of them are doing very well and are among the top people in the circle.”
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Liu Mei was speaking the truth. Indeed, Pei Li’s performance in the outside world was among the top people in the upper circles.
In her previous life, Pei Li was the most outstanding successor in the eyes of many families. The third generation of the Pei family followed his lead.
However, Liu Mei did not like men with skin that was too white. This was also the truth because Huang Youde, Liu Mei’s husband, was born with dark skin. He was once ridiculed by others. Their son, Huang Tingxuan, also had healthy honey-colored skin.
Therefore, what Liu Mei said was based on the aesthetic standards of young people nowadays. However, she did not expect that Shen Xiaoxiao did not like boys like that. However, this made her feel that their personalities were more compatible.
“Mom.”
“Auntie.”
Huang Tingxuan and Huang Huiwen, the brother and cousin, walked over after they finished soaking in the hot spring. Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head and looked over. She naturally nodded to the two of them and greeted them.
On the other hand, Liu Mei introduced them enthusiastically:
“You finished soaking so quickly? Come, come, let me introduce you. This is a young friend I just met, Lin Weiwei. Weiwei, this is my son, Huang Tingxuan, and this is my niece, Huang Huiwen. Both of you are about the same age. It’s fine to be in the same generation.”
“Hello, I’m Lin Weiwei.”
“Hello!”
Huang Tingxuan politely greeted Shen Xiaoxiao. The reason why he stopped after a short while was because he felt too embarrassed. His cousin always liked to lean on him. He was a hot-blooded boy. This was really too embarrassing.
No one knew what Huang Tingxuan was thinking, but Shen Xiaoxiao had guessed a little. From the moment he entered, Huang Tingxuan saw Liu Mei’s look. He also quickly walked to Liu Mei’s side and distanced himself from Huang Huiwen. It seemed that this so-called brother and sister were together for some other reason.
At least, Shen Xiaoxiao could see that Huang Tingxuan was avoiding Huang Huiwen. As for why someone would expose such a thing a few years later, it seemed that there was still a lot that she didn’t know.
However, she did not mind helping Huang Tingxuan. After all, such a scandal, whether it was at home or abroad, whether it was in the past or now, was an extremely embarrassing matter.
“I heard from Aunt Liu that Brother Huang is studying in Chicago? What a coincidence. I just came back from there.”
“Really? That’s a coincidence. Which school is Weiwei at? Are you back for the New Year?”
“That’s not it. I didn’t study abroad. I’m now an audit student at Jingdu University…”
“Audit student? You didn’t come back from studying abroad after all this time? And you didn’t even get into a domestic university?”
These words were very rude. Liu Mei immediately reprimanded Huang Huiwen. “Huiwen, how can you talk like that? Where is your upbringing?”
However, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Huang Huiwen had looked at her with a very unkind gaze. She probably thought that she had taken a liking to her good cousin, especially when she had called Huang Tingxuan ‘Brother Huang’ just now. Her face was about to collapse. She really did not know how to hide it.
“Aunt Liu, it’s alright. I really did not go to school much. After returning to China, I wanted to continue my studies, so I went to be a guest student. Miss Huang is telling the truth.”
“It’s good that Weiwei likes to study. Young people are not afraid that you won’t learn well, but they are afraid that you won’t even learn. Weiwei is very good. The two of you, don’t stand there. Go and change your clothes. I’m going to have dinner with Weiwei tonight.”
“Aunt, why are you eating with strangers? You don’t know where she came from. Have you forgotten about what happened earlier? Now there are so many girls pretending to be big shots to get close to you…”
“Shut up and go change. You don’t have the right to interrupt my business.”
Liu Mei was very strict with Huang Huiwen, and she was also quite merciless. This surprised Shen Xiaoxiao.
However, Huang Huiwen was a little afraid that Liu Mei would get angry. She angrily pulled Huang Tingxuan to the changing room, leaving Liu Mei feeling very awkward.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao also remembered that she had heard that Liu Mei had almost been kidnapped in the early years. The kidnappers had almost fooled Liu Mei by getting close to her through the staff of a beauty shop.
Therefore, Liu Mei had bodyguards following her whenever she went out, and it was reasonable for Huang Huiwen to say that.
The awkwardness did not last long, and Shen Xiaoxiao did not care about it herself. Just then, Dark 19 walked over in a very timely manner. Not only did he pass his coat to Shen Xiaoxiao, but he also said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Miss, Sir said that he will call the room in an hour.”
Shen Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to tell Liu Mei that she would probably not be able to make it to dinner. Liu Mei understood very well. After all, her niece’s attitude towards her was not something that she would rush up to.
However, this also made Liu Mei look at Shen Xiaoxiao even more highly. The two of them already had a feeling of mutual appreciation. At this moment, they left their contact details and bid farewell reluctantly.
Pei Li stood at the side and looked at the person who had already walked away. He muttered to himself, “So she’s called Lin Weiwei. With a name, it will be easier to investigate.”
