The obedient girl glances up, and the tyrannical tycoon kneels down to pamper her.

An aged voice came from behind, and everyone turned to look. It was Old Master Fu.

Old Fu approached Luo Huai with a smile, "How about I tell you about it?"

There was an uproar all around.

She must have a lot of influence to be able to get Old Master Fu to personally explain it to her.

Luo Huai was also flattered.

"This painting is a scribble by my grandson when he was five years old. He gave it to me. It's not a famous painting, and it doesn't have any special meaning. I just thought it was funny because it was all messy." Old Fu's eyes were full of smiles.

"Yes, I gave it to you, but not to this old man." Another old man walked over.

Luo Huai and Xing Yurou looked over and saw the old man who had just bought the Liuyu brooch. The person who recognized him respectfully called out to Old Man Yu.

Old Yu, leaning on his cane, came over to Xing Yurou and said, "Miss Xing, thank you for showing mercy just now. Consider this black jade pendant my way of thanking you."

Mr. Fu, standing nearby, explained, "You two can just call him Grandpa Yu; he's my grandson's grandfather."

Before Xing Yuru could refuse, Grandpa Yu had already handed the box to her. In the end, Xing Yuru smiled and said thank you, Grandpa Yu.

Old Fu told Luo Huai and Xing Yurou to go about their own business while he went to catch up with Old Yu.

"If you had told me earlier that you liked that brooch, I would have had it saved for you."

"No, no, what if you come looking for it back someday? It's better to buy it yourself. I have a receipt, so you can forget about getting it back."

"Hey, you old geezer..."

“I told you my grandson was learning bad habits from you, and listen to what you have to say…”

The two elders gradually drifted apart.

Those who had just tried to make things difficult for Luo Huai had gone elsewhere, and instead, many ladies and young women came up to talk to Luo Huai, their expressions and tone of voices filled with kindness.

Luo Luoluo responded generously, offering a few words on what she knew and humbly asking questions about what she didn't.

Throughout the trip, everyone felt comfortable and at ease. They went from calling her "Young Mistress Xing" at the beginning to calling her by her full name later, and always had a smile on their face.

Everyone says that Luo Huai, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xing family, is a wonderful person who acts with propriety and courtesy.

Some people secretly took photos and sent them to Pei Youyou, saying that Luo Huai must have given someone some kind of bewitching drug, so that they could sit in the second row at the auction, with Old Fu personally explaining things and introducing Old Yu to them, which led to a bunch of ladies and young women rushing to curry favor with him.

Even Miss Xing calls her "sister-in-law" so sweetly.

Pei Youyou seemed not to recognize these words, and had to check several times before she was sure that Luo Huai was actually more likable than her? How could that be?

In the past, whether at the Pei family home or at school, Luo Huai always kept his head down and rarely spoke. Sometimes, people would even scold Luo Huai for being as quiet as a mute.

If it weren't for her good grades and pretty looks, she probably wouldn't have attracted any attention and would just be an ordinary, unremarkable person.

Now that she's married into the Xing family, she dares to hold her head high and act arrogantly, stealing her limelight?

Pei Youyou angrily slammed her phone on the passenger seat. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck her. She picked up her phone again and sent a message to Xing Zhengyu's secretariat, asking who had accompanied President Xing to the dinner party. After finding out, she directly contacted the person and asked for the address.

What's so special about Luo Huai getting compliments at an auction? She already had those things; now she's going to a drinking party to help Zheng Yu.

If she could find out the range of bid prices and help Ms. Xing, everyone would look at her with new respect.

With a confident expression, Pei Youyou drove to the restaurant, sent a message to Xing Zhengyu's secretary, and then strode up in her high heels.

Upon receiving the news, the female secretary felt a chill run down her spine and whispered in Xing Zhengyu's ear, "Mr. Xing, Miss Pei has arrived."

Xing Zhengyu frowned slightly, but before he could say anything, Pei Youyou had already arrived at the door with the help of an employee and walked in confidently.

For a moment, everyone at the table paused in their actions and looked towards the door.

Xing Yanzhao also looked up and glanced at Xing Zhengyu, then caught a glimpse of Xing Zhengyu's fleeting dark expression. The next second, he stood up with a smile, took Pei Youyou's hand, and introduced her to everyone.

He found it quite interesting to watch Xing Zhengyu act every day.

He had to show everyone that he was not competitive or greedy, and that he was a good brother to him. He also had to act out how loving he was with the eldest daughter of the Pei family, and yet he didn't seem to have any psychological issues.

If it really wasn't true, Xing Yanzhao would have to admire him a little.

"Miss Pei has arrived. Please have a seat, please have a seat. Sit next to President Xing. The two of you are really very affectionate."

“Yes,” Xing Yanzhao said. “It was bought with my wife’s grievances. If I didn’t show her affection, I would be letting her down after she was tricked.”

The person who had just spoken immediately looked embarrassed.

The atmosphere became tense.

The smiles on Xing Zhengyu and Pei Youyou's faces also stiffened.

"You keep calling me 'wife,' aren't you quite happy about it?" Pei Youyou said in an unfriendly tone.

“Of course, I benefited.” Xing Yanzhao said so matter-of-factly that Pei Youyou didn’t know how to refute him for a moment.

Yu Shao, who was in charge of the drinking party today, chuckled softly, raised his glass and said, "Young Master Xing is a straightforward person."

Xing Yanzhao also raised his glass in a toast from afar, downing it in one gulp.

Yu Shao's smile deepened, and the others raised their glasses to toast him as well, which eased the awkwardness from before.

Everyone raised their glasses.

Pei Youyou remained seated.

Yu Shao smiled and asked, "Miss Pei, are you allergic to alcohol?"

"Excuse me, this is Lehua. I'll drink Romanée-Conti." Pei Youyou turned to ask the waiter to open a bottle of Romanée-Conti, unaware that everyone's expression had changed.

Yu Shao had already prepared a way out for you, but you just went ahead and said you only drink Romanée-Conti and not Leroy, showing your disdain.

Besides, today's host is Young Master Yu, who personally requested Le Hua. Don't they understand the principle of "a guest should follow the host's lead"?

Xing Zhengyu's knuckles turned white as he gripped the wine glass, wanting to crush Pei Youyou to death with a single claw.

Not only did she barge into a drinking party full of men, but she also put on airs like a rich young lady, making her feel completely embarrassed.

But you can't hit them or scold them.

Xing Zhengyu took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, Young Master Yu. Youyou is simple-minded and doesn't understand these things. I'll punish myself with three drinks. Young Master Yu, please be magnanimous."

Yu Shao just smiled, neither asking him to drink nor saying he didn't need to.

Xing Zhengyu drank the whole glass, and his secretary immediately refilled it.

Pei Youyou had always mingled in the circles of wealthy socialites and attended only banquets. Her father, Pei Yuanzhou, had never taken her to business dinners, so she knew nothing about the etiquette at the dinner table.

So she took Xing Zhengyu's cup and asked, puzzled, "What did I say wrong?"

"No, of course not," Yu Shao said. "Miss Pei is feeling sorry for President Xing. Since President Xing's wife has come to pick him up, let's wrap this up."

Yu Shao got up to leave his seat.

Everyone stood up to try and persuade them to stay. They had come here today to gather information and to show the Yu family their sincerity through Young Master Yu.

Now, things have gotten even worse. As soon as Miss Pei arrived, she made Young Master Yu unhappy and caused him to leave the table. They haven't even managed to find out a single thing yet.

The Xing family doesn't want this project; they do!

But she's Miss Pei. Even if we don't care about the monk, we should still consider the Buddha. President Pei dotes on this younger sister very much, and President Xing has never blamed Miss Pei from beginning to end. He even had to drink the penalty wine for her. They also spoil her a lot. How could they dare to blame her in the slightest?

The group was helpless and speechless.

What made things even more exciting was that Miss Pei walked right over to Young Master Yu and asked him in a charming manner if he could reveal a little bit about the project.

Everyone: "!!!"

Is this something I can just ask directly?

They wanted to frame the Yu family for bribery!

"Youyou!" Xing Zhengyu's brow twitched. He went over and pulled her behind him, then smiled apologetically.

Yu Shao looked at Pei Youyou and said sarcastically, "Does Miss Pei think she was cute just now?"

Extremely insulting.

Because that's what Pei Youyou thinks.
