As bright as a star: Madam, she is an almighty little princess

Pei Yanxing came here to report every day for several days and stayed upstairs all day.

A few people dared to be angry but dared not speak out. They stayed downstairs every day like a resentful woman in a boudoir.

Fortunately, Ling Qi slowly recovered after surviving those three days.

A week later, Mrs. Pei's birthday arrived, and the entire Pei family was busy.

It's not a birthday celebration, the old lady doesn't plan to make a big deal out of it. According to her wishes, it can be done simply at the house and just ask the family members to have a meal together. The old man also means the same.

Seeing this, the Pei family couldn't say anything else, so they decided to follow the wishes of the two elders.

But this is the old lady of the Pei family. Many people are looking forward to establishing a relationship with the Pei family, even if it is just a little bit, they will meet whenever they say it. What's more, many of the aristocratic families with whom they were already on good terms relied on the Pei family's protection.

So that night, before the birthday party even started, many people who got the news came uninvited. Luxury cars were parked outside Pei's house one after another, and they all rushed to give gifts.

As the saying goes, those who come are guests, don't hit the smiling person with your hand, and don't drive people away when they come. Besides, this is the Pei family who values ​​etiquette.

Fortunately, the banquet hall in the Pei family's backyard, which is used to organize some important events, is relatively large and filled with respectable people. The butler welcomed everyone in politely.

It was still early, and the Pei family hadn't come over yet. There were only some people from the side, but it didn't affect the conversation. They drank and drank, and it was lively.

In the courtyard of the second elder, the people from the third bedroom gathered together for the second time since the last time the old man and the old lady were ill.

Led by Pei Bingyuan, the three brothers were congratulating the old lady on her birthday. After all, there were many people at once and it was all a matter of process.

After more than a month of nursing, the old lady's body has recovered a lot, and she looks at the person below her with a smile.

After the third brother, there is the third wife, followed closely by the juniors, the eldest brother Pei Yan'an, the second brother Pei Yancheng, and the third brother Pei Yanci are all present.

It was quite a cozy atmosphere.

When he arrived at the junior place, Pei Bingxuan suddenly said, "Brother, where is A Xing? Why haven't you seen anyone on such an important day? But I haven't seen him in a while. Could it be that he was so busy that he forgot the old lady's birthday?"

The words sounded like a casual question, with a joking tone, but who could not tell who was not a human being present?

The atmosphere dropped instantly.

The birthday wishes of the juniors were not uttered.

Pei Bingyuan glanced at the second room with a majestic aura, but before he could speak, Shen Qingtang interrupted with a smile, but if you look closely, the smile was only on the surface.

"Second brother, don't worry, A Xing said he prepared a surprise for mom and will be here soon."

As he spoke, he glanced at Pei Yan'an, who instantly understood what his mother meant.

"Is that so? Second uncle, don't worry. The eldest brother has always been the most filial to his grandparents. Just let him celebrate his birthday alone with gifts later."

"Come on, grandma." Without giving Pei Bingxuan a chance to interrupt, he bowed his hands to the person in the first place and said loudly, pretending to be funny, "Your handsome, cute and charming little grandson An'an congratulates you on your birthday, and I wish you happiness like the East China Sea. , the longevity is as long as that of Nanshan Mountain, the longevity is 100 years, the body is twice as good, and the food tastes delicious."

Pei Yanan usually looks carefree. The two elders are used to it, but they just like him like this. He grinned and said, "Okay, we are at peace now."

Pei Yan'an stepped aside laughing.

Pei Yancheng, who was on one side, looked slightly depressed. Originally, according to the order of seniority, even if Pei Yanxing was not there, he should be the first one, but Pei Yanan from the eldest room took the lead.

After all, he didn't show anything in front of the second elder. He clenched his fists and said his congratulations in a polite manner.

The old lady was still smiling.

But Pei Yancheng didn't feel as warm as before. Compared with Pei Yanan, he only felt that the old lady was a little cold towards him. The unwillingness in his heart suddenly surged to the top of his head, but it was not shown on his face.

Next is Pei Yanci. As the only girl in the Pei family's grandchildren, she is well-behaved, polite, and good at talking, so she naturally suits the old man's liking.

Pei Bingxuan looked at this scene, anger flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, it's almost time. Let's go to the banquet hall first." After celebrating his birthday and giving out gifts, the old man spoke directly, and the group moved to the backyard banquet hall.

The banquet hall and the old man's courtyard are some distance away, and no one has arrived yet.

A group of prominent and important people in the capital have gathered together, and there are even military and political figures who have traveled thousands of miles from other places.

People in twos and threes were socializing with wine glasses.

At this time, a not loud sound sounded.

"Look, Master Pei is here!"

These words are like dropping a stone into a quiet pond, causing ripples to appear instantly.

Everyone focused their attention on the sound.

At the door of the banquet hall, a man dressed in black clothes and black trousers, with an air of aura at a young age, strolled in holding a woman's hand.

The banquet hall was very large. He was so far away that he couldn't see the woman clearly for a while. He whispered, "Who is the woman that Mr. Pei is holding? I have never heard of this man having a girlfriend."

I had different thoughts for a while.

Although Pei Yanxing took over as the head of the family, it has not been long. In addition, there are Mr. Pei and Pei Bingyuan on top. Everyone is still accustomed to calling him Mr. Pei, and with more respect, they call him Shuai Pei or Mr. Pei.

The people behind were whispering, but the people in the front who were closer let out a small exclamation, "Isn't that woman that little professor from the University of Washington? Wasn't it her that was posted in the video a few days ago?"

"Yeah, I heard that she hasn't been seen since that day, and the Internet is still clamoring for her to get a blood test."

The women who came with their families secretly guessed, looking at the hands of the two of them intertwined, they cast strange eyes on Ling Qi, "Why did Mr. Pei suddenly get involved with her?"

The sound was neither too loud nor too quiet, but it clearly fell into the ears of the two of them.

Pei Yanxing's sharp eyes suddenly glanced at the people in the banquet hall, his whole body was filled with coldness, and the person who just spoke was instantly silent.

The atmosphere at the venue was a little awkward. An older man from the Pei family came forward and asked, "A Xing, who is this girl?"

"My girlfriend." Pei Yan spoke concisely and concisely, but said these four words seriously.

Before anyone in the venue could exclaim again, Pei Bingxuan's questioning voice suddenly came from behind, "What did you say?!"
