Mei Man Sword Fairy

Chapter 17 Pepper Potts
After more than two hours of driving, Ling Ling and others finally arrived at their destination.

There was snow in the sky, and the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger.

Looking up at the flat and vast grassland, apart from patches of groves, there is no second family in sight.

There are several cars parked outside the spacious house, it seems that there are many guests.

After getting out of the car, an old lady greeted him and greeted Peg cordially.

"Peg, welcome, everyone is here."

"Grandma!" Catherine also stepped forward to hug him.

Ling Ling stood by and remained motionless.

Grandma?
Don't make trouble, she calls me grandpa and calls me young!
But in order to give Pegg a little face, he still smiled.

The old lady smiled and said, "You must be Zero, come into the house with me, it's getting colder and colder outside."

This is true, the sky is dark, the snow is getting bigger and bigger, and there is already a thin layer of snow on the ground.

After entering the door, the room was indeed very lively.

The festive atmosphere in the room is very strong. The Christmas tree is covered with colorful lights and various baubles, and the piles of gift boxes of different sizes are higher than people.

Peg and Catherine piled up the presents they had brought.

Ling Ling took a glance to confirm the number of people.

Adding the three of them, there were 13 people in the room.

What caught Ling Ling's attention the most was the gentle and virtuous woman sitting next to the old man.

She was talking to the old man, but it was mostly the old man who was talking, and she nodded in response from time to time.

That face is very familiar, from the secretary to the main palace, a strange woman who makes the genius playboy fall in love with him and feel at ease.

Pepper Potts.

"Zero, come here, let me introduce you."

Pergola circled Ling Ling's arm, and Ling Ling roughly understood the composition of this family.

Adams Potts and his wife are the founders, they have two sons and a daughter.

The eldest son, William Potts, is now in his 50s. He has a son who is married and has a seven-year-old granddaughter, which is five people.

The second son, Charles Potts, died of illness the year before last. The widow, Ms. Pegg, plus Catherine and Ling Ling, are three people.

The daughter, Anna Potts, is married but pursues DINKism, these are two people.

Finally, there is Pepper Potts. Her parents died very early. Her father was Adams' youngest brother. As the eldest brother, Adams took Pepper home to raise him. not weak.

Adams Potts, an old man with shaved hair and a bushy beard, looks like an older Obadiah. I don’t know if Pepper can’t bear it every time he faces Obadiah in the company. Stop laughing.

This family must have known about Pegg's adoption of Ling Ling for a long time, and they didn't say they were enthusiastic when they greeted each other, but they didn't show anything unusual.

Among the people present, the only one who seemed to have a common topic with Ling Ling was the seven-year-old girl.

Erin Potts.

This little brown-haired girl has been secretly watching Ling Ling since he entered the house.

What are you looking at?Smelly sister!
Ah no, it should be called niece?
Sin!
It was still snowing outside, Ling Ling and Irene were arranged by Pegg to watch animation in the room on the second floor.

The adults are busy preparing dinner for the evening.

"Zero, why are you called that name?" Irene said suddenly, seeming to muster up her courage.

Ling Ling opened her sleepy eyes, "Because I'm from Huaxia, my original name is zero."

"Then can you teach me Chinese?"

"what do you want to learn?"

"Anything is fine!"

Irene was very excited, Ling Ling was very helpless.

After all, she is a niece, so bear with her for now.

When it was time for dinner at night, Ling Ling's mouth was almost worn out, and Irene learned to "hello", "goodbye" and "thank you".

Before the hearty dinner, the whole family prayed.

Ling Ling was pretending, what he was thinking was that if he hadn't been sent to the wrong place, he might have become a fairy by now, and he would also be the object of prayer and worship by others.

So what about God, if you have the guts, come and fight!

After the meal, Irene excitedly began to unwrap the presents, and Ling Ling's face froze with a smirk.

Finally, when everyone was chatting, Ling Ling found Pepper.

"Hi, I seem to have seen you before." When speaking, Ling Ling looked like a star-chasing fan.

"Oh? Really, where?" Pepper also seemed very interested.

"On TV, do you know Mr. Stark? Tony Stark!"

Pepper smiled and nodded, "Yes, I know him, and I work for him."

Ling Ling pretended to be surprised and said: "Great! Miss Pepper, can you help me get Mr. Stark's autograph, or... take me to Stark Industries for a visit?"

As the saying goes, drunkards don't care about drinking, Ling Ling feels that the current children's bodies are still quite useful.

If he was as old as Catherine, he wouldn't have the face to pull the relationship.

Pepper didn't show any embarrassment, she smiled: "Of course, there is no problem with signing, but if I go to the company, I need a little time, will you wait for me?"

It can be seen that Pepper has gained the trust of a certain scumbag now.

Waiting is nothing, just wait until you get it.

Ling Ling nodded, and Pepper said: "Well, when I am free, I will call Pegg, and then I will take you to visit Stark Industries, maybe you can see Stark with your own eyes. gentlemen."

"very good, thank you!"

Stark Industries, a company that crushed Hammer Industries in all aspects, now that Hammer Industries has delisted and changed its name, Stark's stock price has soared all the way, and the worth of a certain scumbag has reached a new high.

As the person who silently contributed to all of this behind the scenes, Ling Ling felt that it was absolutely not too much for him to step on the ground first, and then find time to mess with him.

When he came to Pegg, he suddenly heard another name, which made him stop silently.

"Your aunt, Ms. Carter, is she all right?"

"She is recuperating in England and she is in good health."

"Well, I've met her before. She's a soldier and a hero."

"Thank you for your compliment and recognition."

Ms. Carter?aunt?
Ms. Pegg, do you have a little sister named Sharon Carter?
When the party was about to end, Ling Ling asked Peg casually: "Ms. Pegg, I heard you just said soldiers, heroes?"

Pegg was taken aback, then smiled and said, "That's right, Adams was talking about my aunt, Margaret Peggy Carter, she went through World War II, she was not only a soldier, but also a hero."

While speaking, the proud look on Pegg's face from time to time cannot be faked.

Ling Ling felt that she definitely didn't know about Peggy's relationship with Captain America, otherwise she would have been even more excited.

"In fact, my name is also derived from her middle name, Peggy, Peggy, isn't it very similar?" Peggy smiled, "It's just that I failed to fulfill my parents' last wish and become a hero. I hope they don't. would be so disappointed.”

"You are a hero." Ling Ling said suddenly.

Peg looked at him puzzled.

Ling Ling nodded again, and Pegg smiled happily.

Innocent and stupid little girl, you just brought home the only fairy in the universe. If this is not a hero, then wouldn’t the sword fairy have a chance?
