Chapter 1023 Amazing Sense of Music

While he was thinking about it, he heard Pei Ziheng's instruction: "Don't tell Xiao Ling."

Xun An was startled, then nodded in agreement. He discovered that the man in front of him really loved the girl to the core. He had done so much for her, but he still didn't let her know.

How happy is that girl?

The midsummer evening breeze was refreshing, and lights were lit one after another in the elegant courtyard.

The host of the banquet announced the start of the annual "Midsummer Celebrities" talent competition. The first person to appear was Pei Jingyu, who won the crown last year. Pei Jingyu was wearing a light white pearl light silk dress with elegant demeanor. She looked around and showed a demure smile and said: "Thanks to everyone's love, I got this title last year, so I will show my shame." , throw out some ideas and present a song for everyone."

She is very good at playing the piano. Last year, she won with her extraordinary piano music. This year, she still chose this talent that she is best at. The sweet piano sound was like flowing clouds and flowing water, making the guests feel relaxed and happy. It's like walking in a fairyland in the clouds.

A noble lady turned her head and whispered to her son: "This girl from the Pei family is good, dignified and generous, beautiful and virtuous. When you listen to her piano sound, it is so peaceful and noble. When you listen to the piano, it is like Just like people, a girl like this is the material to become a matron.”

Her son smiled and nodded.

Many wealthy families here, like this noble lady and her son, quietly observe the talent and temperament of each young lady, consider their family background, calculate and evaluate, and choose a suitable marriage partner for them.

Pei Jingyu finished her song and received thunderous applause.

She glanced around with her watery eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm embarrassed." She walked off the stage.

At the Pei family's seat, Pei Jingshan stood up to greet her and praised: "Sister Jingyu, you play so beautifully. You must be the most famous lady in the summer this year."

Pei Jingyu smiled reservedly: "I can't tell, I'm the first one to come on stage. There are many talented and beautiful girls behind me." As she spoke, she glanced at Xia Ling with delicate eyeliner. .

Xia Ling sat next to Pei Ziheng and also sat at the Pei family table.

There is no way, the entire flower viewing banquet is based on the family unit. Since Pei Ziheng and Pei Zhenyuan are a family, they are naturally arranged at the same table. If they insist on being separated, outsiders will think that there is some irreconcilable conflict within the Pei family. That would be too ugly.

At this time, Xia Ling felt uncomfortable under Pei Jingyu's gaze. She snorted slightly and turned her head away.

Pei Zhenyuan frowned. It was an honor for this wild girl to sit at this table. If it hadn't prevented the flower-viewing banquet from being a public place, he would have kicked this wild girl out a long time ago. Why, how dare she show off to a rich young lady like Pei Jingyu when she is good?

Pei Jingshan saw that her uncle was unhappy and was eager to show off, so she scolded Xia Ling: "Why are you humming? Are you dissatisfied with sister Jingyu?"

Xia Ling whispered: "I'm sorry, it's none of your business." She looked very stubborn.

Pei Jingyu smoothed things over in a gentle and dignified manner: "Okay Jingshan, Xiao Ling has just come out of the orphanage. She is not sensible, and you are not sensible either? What are you worrying about? Prepare your program well and bring glory to the Pei family."

When Pei Jingshan saw her cousin speaking, she quickly said, "Yes." Although her father had some status in the family, he was not as strong as Pei Jingyu's backstage. Pei Jingyu's grandfather was the second oldest person after Pei Ziheng. The shareholder is so senior that he can even vaguely compete with Pei Ziheng, but what about Pei Jingshan? She is simply not good enough in front of Pei Jingyu. Over the years, she has relied on fawning over Pei Jingyu to get ahead.

Xia Ling's beautiful eyes looked at Pei Jingyu, then at Pei Jingshan, and then hummed.

Although she has a simple mind, there are some things she can't see. The two eldest ladies are criticizing her and arguing with her. Don't they just look down on her? To be honest, she had just listened to Pei Jingyu's piano performance, and she really didn't think it was anything amazing. Although she had never learned how to play the piano, her sense of music was amazing. Intuitively, she found that although Pei Jingyu's piano sound was beautiful, it was too craftsmanship. To put it bluntly, it was rigid and lacking in aura.

This kind of piano sound may become first-class, but it will never become top-notch.

The child couldn't hide something in her heart, so she couldn't help but pull Pei Ziheng's sleeve.

Pei Ziheng lowered his head and said in a gentle voice: "What's wrong?"

Since there was no one with a foreign surname, Xia Ling was not afraid of embarrassing the Pei family, so she asked directly in a low voice: "Why do they think sister Jingyu's piano sound is good? Have they never heard real music?"

Before Pei Ziheng could say anything, Pei Jingyu was so angry that she almost dropped her cup. What did this little beggar mean? ! Are you just slandering her piano sound in front of your grandfather and other sisters?

"That's so outrageous!" This time, even Pei Zhenyuan couldn't help scolding, "Zi Heng, take care of this girl you brought back!" What qualifications does a wild girl have to evaluate the famous family that the Pei family spent a lot of money to cultivate? Shuyuan! This wild girl doesn’t even have the most basic respect!

Xia Ling was frightened by Pei Zhenyuan and shrank back, not daring to speak.

When she was led to the table by Pei Ziheng, she heard Pei Ziheng introduce this stern-eyed old man, and knew that he was Pei Jingyu's biological grandfather, and that he didn't seem to like her very much... However, the little girl had a natural affinity for music. She couldn't hide her love for music. For a moment, she even forgot about this terrible old man and directly asked the doubts in her heart.

Pei Ziheng glanced at Pei Zhenyuan: "Uncle, don't scare her."

Pei Zhenyuan: "You have to have a limit when it comes to protecting this wild girl!"

Pei Ziheng's face darkened: "Xiao Ling is not some wild girl."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. Two men, an old man and a young man, faced each other silently, seeing that a dispute was about to break out. Xia Ling's heart was in her throat. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have done something wrong? She was very worried and said softly: "Brother Pei..."

Pei Ziheng then looked away from the confrontation with his uncle and gently held her hand: "Let's go, I'll take you to another seat."

"Pei Ziheng!"

"Cousin!"

Pei Zhenyuan and the two young ladies cried out loudly. They all underestimated Xia Ling's importance to him. He would change seats if they disagreed! You know, the seats here are all based on family units. He made it clear that he temporarily changed seats to tell others about the internal discord in the Pei family. Not to mention whether it was embarrassing or not, I am afraid that countless versions of rumors will spread immediately, saying that Maybe the Pei family's stock will plummet the next day!
