Chapter 335: Princess Temperament

The gentle way Pei Ziheng looked at her was like he was looking at an insensible girl. “I didn’t say anything after you slapped her or scolded her. However, this time, she hurt you with eleven beaded pins but you hurt her with one hundred and eleven pins. That’s going too far. The person sitting in front of me is you, Xiao Ling. Do you know…” Pei Ziheng slightly paused, and his voice became even softer. “If it were someone else, he would probably have died a long time ago.”

“Ye Xingling” was special. There was no doubt that she resembled Xia Ling the most.

However, Xia Yu was also special. She was the only person related to Xia Ling biologically left in this world — Xia Ling’s most beloved younger sister.

He did not know who he should side. Usually, if there were a small conflict, he would turn a blind eye. However, this time, after Xia Yu cried and looked for him covered in cuts, he could not be a bystander any longer. If he could not even protect Xia Ling’s only sister, how was he qualified to face her after death?

He made a special trip to warn “Ye Xingling” and also to assert his dominance.

Xia Ling was so angry that she snickered. “Sure, Pei Ziheng. Xia Yu is precious to you, right? That’s not a problem. I can treat Xia Yu well. I can apologize to her, and I can even carry her shoes as long as you never look for me again! Do you know why she hates me? Isn’t it because of you?! You’re very smart, so I’m sure you know that Xia Yu likes you! Why did you come to provoke me? Why do you have to involve me in your trivial matters?! Now, Li Lei is helping me seek revenge. What if he didn’t? Do I have to be bullied until death by Xia Yu while you not care at all?!”

The more she spoke, the more indignant and hurt she felt. Countless memories of events that happened in the past flooded her mind. She thought about how when she was imprisoned in her past life, Xia Yu said her sister did not want to eat so Xia Ling did not have anything for dinner. Xia Yu said her sister went against the rules and went to the garden where she fell sick when caught in the rain. After that, she was chained to the bed as a severe punishment. Xia Yu said her sister wanted to escape… She did not even want to remember more of her hell-like past.

Her face was pale, and her eyes were red. She was desperately fighting back the tears. Pushing the teapot away, she stood up and staggered backward. “Pei Ziheng, don’t ever look for me again! Don’t… ever…”

“Xiao Ling!” Seeing her tears, his heart ached, and he instinctively called her name.

However, she did not stop. She was like a butterfly that was caught in the wind. In a flash, she disappeared into the long and dark corridor. Pei Ziheng looked at the direction she left for a long time.

“Boss.” Suddenly, someone called his name carefully and respectfully.

Pei Ziheng turned around and saw that Chu Chen was standing beside him dressed in a suit and holding two files.

“What’s the problem?” Feeling a little tired, he rubbed his temples.

Chu Chen said, “This is the overall cooperation agreement between Nebula Music Channel and Purple Wind Bell Group. As long as you sign it, they will immediately take down all the recent jobs done by Miss Ye.” They were the largest music distribution companies. If she were boycotted for a period of time, there would be devastating losses.

“Destroy these two agreements.” Pei Ziheng said.

Chu Chen was startled. They weren’t needed anymore? Pei Ziheng was furious after seeing that Xia Yu was hurt, and he was the one who ordered Chu Chen to get revenge on Ye Xingling. Chu Chen created a plan to sabotage her after he was authorized by him. He had a hard time finalizing the contract, and it only needed Pei Ziheng’s signature. Why did he change his mind after a few days?

This was not Pei Ziheng’s style.

Chu Chen was sharp and realized that Ye Xingling had just run out crying when he came over.

What happened before he arrived?

As he speculated in his heart, he respectfully responded with a “Yes.” He then paused for a while before asking, “What about the suppression plan against Skyart Entertainment?” Xia Yu’s revenge plan was divided into two parts. One part was meant to hurt Ye Xingling, and the other part was to hurt Li Lei’s Skyart Entertainment.

“Proceed as usual.” Pei Ziheng said without hesitation.

Chu Chen slightly bowed and prepared to leave. Suddenly, Pei Ziheng said, “Redirect all the manpower and other resources used to hurt Ye Xingling to suppress Skyart Entertainment.”

“Yes.” Seeing that his Big Boss was in a bad mood, he trod carefully and did not even dare to breathe heavily as he left.

In the quiet tea room, Pei Ziheng shut his eyes.

In front of him, Ye Xingling’s shocked, angry, and hurt expression refused to vanish from his head. She was almost in tears as she said, “If Li Lei didn’t help me seek revenge…” Li Lei? This name was like a thorn that was deeply lodged into Pei Ziheng’s heart.

In front of the Jingshui mountain villa’s door.

As Lin Yunan was waiting outside, he was shocked when he saw Xia Ling running out in tears. “What happened?”

She sniffed and shook her head. “I was bitten by a dog.”

“What exactly happened?” Seeing that she was still in the mood to scold others, he was a little relieved. However, since Chairman Pei was not an ordinary person, he had to be concerned about her as her manager. “What exactly happened the last time you ate with him at the clubhouse?”

She shook her head and lifted her sleeve to wipe her tears away.

After seeing that she looked like a cat after wiping her face, he grabbed her arm and pulled out a pair of sunglasses from his pocket. “Have you just debuted? It’s almost two years, can you grow a little? How can you meet people with your makeup in this state? What if you are photographed? What happens if they ask you why you are in this state?”

Xia Ling obediently let him put the sunglasses on her face. She blew her nose and managed to regain her composure.

“If Pei Ziheng wants to be harsh, you can’t escape.” Lin Yunan already started to make wild guesses without her saying anything. “No matter what, he can’t scold you until you cry. You aren’t even part of his company, so what right does he have? Besides, if he is able to scold you till you cry—” Lin Yunan shook his head and felt that this was really inconceivable. “Unreasonable Wei and I were not even able to scold you until you cry. What sort of scolding ability does he have? I couldn’t tell he was talented in this area.”

“You’re so noisy.” Xia Ling quietly complained. To prevent him from continuing to guess what happened, she simply told him, “He framed me for hurting Xia Yu, and I felt wronged.” This was only a small part of the truth, but she was unable to share more of what happened with outsiders.

Lin Yunan was shocked. “You cried over this small matter?”

“What right did he have to accuse me?” Xia Ling was still mad and lowered her voice. “I hate it the most when people treat me unjustly.”

Lin Yunan was speechless again. Whose fault was it for having a princess temperament? Sure enough, women’s thoughts were complicated. He could not even take her small wrongful treatment seriously and only said, “Well, do you know how Xia Yu was hurt and who hurt her?”

Xia Ling looked at him alarmingly and did not respond.
