Chapter 1006: Unrivalled Pampering

A few of the girls glared at her.

Pei Jingshan’s mother even screamed in a high-pitched voice, “Teacher Gao, look at this little bastard still laughing! Who on earth put her here? I want to fire that person!” This was the Pei family’s etiquette class and it only accepted the ladies from Pei family. Pei Jingshan’s mother’s first impression of Xia Ling was that she was some child of a maid who had ventured into the wrong place.

“I heard you want to fire me?” A low voice sounded.

Alarmed, Pei Jingshan’s mom turned around—Oh God, who did she see?!

It was a young tall man who was standing by the door of the classroom. He wore an exquisite, well-crafted fine wool suit. His eyes were dark and his expression cold.

“Zi, Zi…” Pei Jingshan’s mother stammered. Her whole body was paralyzed with shock and she could not say a single word.

“Brother Pei,” Xia Ling said softly. Her last fall had been the most severe, and she was curled up in the corner of the wall, unable to get up at that moment.

Pei Ziheng walked through the crowd and even the corners of his eyes did not bother to sweep past the crowd in the classroom. He walked straight to Xia Ling and knelt down in front of her. “Let me see.” He reached out his hand and gently wiped away the blood and dust on her face. “Where are you hurt? Does it hurt?”

She nodded, then shook her head.

She was on the verge of tears. Everyone had bullied her, yet he was the only one who treated her well.

Pei Ziheng’s voice was gentle yet carried a little blame. “Don’t you know how to protect yourself properly.”

“They have too many people, I can’t defeat them.” She felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Without another word, he took off his coat and carefully wrapped her in it, covering her dress that had been ripped by the girls. He carried her bridal-style and headed out.

The people around were all shocked.

God, what had they seen? The patriarch, the owner, the head of Imperial Entertainment was hugging this beggar-like girl in such a gentle way?! It turns out that she was not some wild child, she was the child put into this class by Pei Ziheng!

Pei Jingshan’s mother also reacted and her legs went weak. “Zi, Ziheng, listen to me, this was just a misunderstanding. Everyone is one family, you…”

Pei Ziheng glared at her coldly. His gaze was like a thousand years of ice with a sense of smothering murderous intent.

Pei Jingshan’s mother shut her mouth automatically.

Pei Ziheng’s line of sight also swept through the girls. No matter who was swept by him, their bodies shook uncontrollably and they lowered their heads, afraid to meet his gaze.

Big Cousin was really… so frightening…

The girls were all extremely frightened. Had they known that Xia Ling was sent here by Big Cousin, they, they would not have been so brazen to provoke her! Provoking Big Cousin was the same as looking for death!

Their bodies quivered and they were all speechless.

Pei Ziheng carried the girl in his arms and walked out step by step.

“Wait.” It was Teacher Gao speaking. She stood in front of him, blocking him.

Pei Ziheng’s eyes were filled with anger. “What?”

His strong stance made even Teacher Gao’s heart tremble.

However, as the teacher of this class, she had to say certain things. “Chairman, this is a matter between the girls, it’s not convenient for you to intervene. There are rules in this country and rules in your family. Hence, our class also has our own class rules. Regarding this matter, I will deal with it myself. Please leave Miss Xia here.”

Pei Ziheng laughed coldly. “Get lost.”

He bypassed her and walked on with Xia Ling in his arms.

Teacher Gao wanted to block him again. She followed after Pei Ziheng only to be blocked by two bodyguards. She pursed her lips tightly. This Chairman was too much…! How could he teach a child well with this kind of behavior?!

A few days ago she had been informed by Pei Ziheng that he had newly adopted a girl and was placing her in the Pei family’s etiquette class to learn etiquette. Regarding the girls in the class, Teacher Gao had always been treating everyone equally favorably and did not give special treatment to those who were of a higher status. Hence, she had not publicized the news.

The adoption of Xia Ling by Pei Ziheng was recent news and many people in the family were not aware of it. Even if they knew, not many talked about it. Thus, the girls in the class, except for Pei Jingyu, were all unaware of the fact.

Pei Jingyu had sent a girl to inform the teacher that Xia Ling had started a fight with the other girls.

Teacher Gao had been speaking to Pei Jingshan’s mother in the office, so they had rushed to the classroom after hearing the news.

Halfway through, Teacher Gao had remembered the phone call from Pei Ziheng about how he would be coming to visit since this was the first lesson Xia Ling was attending. He was already on the way. Thus, she had called Pei Ziheng immediately to inform him about what had happened. Alas, she had been too late. Pei Ziheng was already there.

Teacher Gao did not know whether to laugh or cry at this scene in front of her. She had not expected Pei Ziheng to be so gentle to this girl. He had never been this way to any other girl? This girl Xia Ling only suffered a few tiny injuries, but he directly carried her away from the classroom and even refused to let her stay and receive her punishment. God, a child could not be so pampered on!

Teacher Gao could not figure it out. She had heard that Pei Ziheng had suffered a lot when he was a child and would be beaten half to death at the slightest mistake. He even had to rush his homework covered in injuries—so how come he could not bear to see this girl suffer even the slightest injury! If this carried on, this girl would become crippled!

Teacher Gao sighed to herself.

Pei Ziheng carried Xia Ling onto his Rolls-Royce and ordered the driver. “Go to the hospital.”

The driver stepped on the gas pedal and sped quickly to the hospital.

Xia Ling was cuddled up in his embrace and her voice was a little weak as she said, “This kind of small injury doesn’t really matter, Brother Pei. You don’t have to go to the hospital, it’s too troublesome.” She was afraid of hindering him from doing important business. Even though they had only gotten along for a few days, she had already discovered that he was always extremely busy. Furthermore, she had gotten into fights in the orphanage often and had suffered injuries more extreme than these. These tiny injuries were not severe at all and would recover by themselves.

Pei Ziheng lowered his head and said, “Be good, listen to me.”

Indents of fingernails were left on her face, leaving behind fine blood marks. The girl’s skin was so delicate, what if they were to leave a scar? He used his finger to touch her wound gently. Her red blood stained his rough fingers like a rose juice would.

She stared at him. His embrace made her very much at peace.

“Brother Pei,” she whispered.

“What?” he asked.

“Do you think… they don’t like me?” Her voice carried a hint of her injury.

“Who said that? You’re so beautiful that everyone likes you.”

“Really?”

“Of course.”

So she smiled and reached out her hand unconsciously, embracing him tighter.
