Chapter 1039: Iris Bookmark

Xia Ling watched her cry without even batting an eyelash.
The onlookers looked at the two of them, oh, and also Pei Ziheng.
A rare occurrence had happened today. Li Bingyu, who had always been so arrogant, had been forced to this level by someone today. Imperial Entertainment’s culture had always been for the weak to be preyed on by the strong. For Li Bingyu, who stood on the top of the actress’ food chain, bullying others was a common thing. But to be bullied by others? Everyone had thought that would have to wait until the day she was no longer popular.
Li Bingyu cried even harder and was out of breath.
At the moment, she couldn’t care about being ashamed anymore. She only knew that she had to satisfy this little devil with her crying, or Pei Ziheng might punish her even more! That punishment just now had already pained her so much she wanted to die. If Pei Ziheng was to give her resources to Yun Yan, then she wouldn’t need to even fight for the Big Sister title of Imperial Entertainment anymore, she would be simply handing it to Yun Yan! Li Bingyu pondered over it and cried genuinely as if her liver and guts were cut to pieces.
Pei Ziheng looked down at Xia Ling. “Let’s go, I’ll bring you to treat your hand.”
Xia Ling blinked. “She’s not done crying.”
Pei Ziheng looked at her affectionately. This little girl was really stubborn, was crying such a good thing to watch? “Let her continue to cry here until night and make sure that she’s crying more miserably than you,” he said gently to the child. “Your hand needs to be treated immediately. What if it leaves a scar?”
“Oh...” Xia Ling dilly-dallied and followed after Pei Ziheng.
Secretary Zhou and the driver also followed quickly.
The crowd watched them leave and heaved a sigh of relief. Oh my God, that was too scary. Everyone remember, never provoke this little devil! Even a huge star like Li Bingyu was severely punished just because she stepped on a worthless bookmark. They didn’t feel they were more strong-willed than Li Bingyu!
Li Bingyu still stood in the hallway and cried harshly.
She had heard the words that Pei Ziheng had said. Since he had told her to cry till night, she had to cry till night. Unless she didn’t want to be in Imperial Entertainment anymore. Fortunately, her assistant and manager were tactful. Once Pei Ziheng was gone, they began to drive the nearby people away. “What are you looking at? Do what you have to do.”
The crowd began to disperse unwillingly.
Even if Li Bingyu had been made miserable by the little girl, she was still the most popular actress of Imperial Entertainment and it was easy to take her anger out on others. The onlookers didn’t want to be the unlucky ones.
They walked to the other elevator in twos and threes and gossiped while walking. “Who was that little girl, I’ve never heard of any girl that’s so pampered by the Chairman?”
“Tsk, how much do you even know about the Chairman’s private life? Maybe he is a lolicon.”
“Tsk, what do you know? There are thousands of lolicons in the world, we have a few in our Training Camo as well. When have you seen Chairman having any sexual thoughts on them? I think this little girl isn’t that simple.”
“Your news are all lousy,” someone said proudly. “I just found out that that little girl was newly adopted by the Chairman. He really pampers her and gives her anything she wants.”
“No way?”
“Wow, really?”
“The Chairman has this sort of preference? He adopted such a little girl?!”
“Hey, hey, be careful what you say, don’t think groundlessly. I heard the people from the management center say that their Boss Chu went to the orphanage with Chairman to do charity work. They saw how pitiful this little girl was, so they adopted her. It’s said that she sings very well and the Chairman wants to cultivate her.”
“Oh, cultivate...” someone said while dragging his tone.
“What kind of cultivation? If you have the ability, say it in front of the Chairman.”
“Don’t, I was wrong. Anyways, this little girl is really arrogant. Didn’t Li Bingyu just step on her bookmark? She was too much to be so unyielding.”
“Li Bingyu isn’t a good person either.”
“Li Bingyu has power! The King goes to the stronger one, what does that little girl have? She only took advantage of the Chairman’s favor and messed around. She’s so beautiful, but her personality is so evil.”
“You’re right...”
The group of people talked and walked away.
In just one afternoon, the news of “Chairman adopted a very bad little girl” was spread in Imperial Entertainment. However, Xia Ling still did not know anything about it. She was brought to Pei Ziheng’s office and stuck out her little hand obediently to let the doctor handle her wound.
The doctor cleaned her wound and applied ointment for her. Then, he said with a smile, “It’s not a serious injury. There’s just some swelling. You just have to rest a few days. Next time be careful and don’t use your hand to block the elevator.”
Pei Ziheng thanked the doctor and let Secretary Zhou send him off.
He looked at Xia Ling and said to her sternly, “Did you hear that? You’re not allowed to use your hand to block the elevator.”
Xia Ling felt wronged and was about to cry again. “I, I was just anxious. She destroyed Xiao Yu’s bookmark.”
Pei Ziheng stared at her weeping appearance and felt his heart ache. “Tell me, how come you’ve suddenly come to the company? And what’s with the bookmark?”
Hence, Xia Ling told him everything about how Xia Yu had personally made the bookmark and had entrusted her to bring it over. She omitted the contact with Secretary Zhou. Pei Ziheng listened in amusement. Wasn’t it just a bookmark? It wasn’t even made by herself, why was she crying like this?
“It’s alright.” He comforted. “I’ve received Xiao Yu’s intentions. It doesn’t matter that the bookmark isn’t here. If you really feel so apologetic, then make one personally for me.”
“Why am I the one making it?” She batted her eyelashes and asked.
“Didn’t you say that Xiao Yu’s body is uncomfortable and she’s tired?” Pei Ziheng said matter-of-factly. “Since the bookmark was broken in your hands, then, of course, you have to make one for me.” Actually, he didn’t care about Xia Yu. He just suddenly wanted a bookmark made personally by Xia Ling. “I like iris flower.”
She was a little shocked. “Brother Pei likes iris flower too?”
He touched her head gently with a warm expression. Usually, he would be extremely busy. When would he have time to appreciate flowers? At first, he couldn’t even tell what an iris was, but every time he went to the orphanage and saw her standing under the bunch of flowers, he had suddenly felt that it was the most beautiful flower in the world.
Xia Ling said, “Then I’ll make you an iris bookmark.”
Pei Ziheng agreed gently.
However, Xia Ling was still not very happy. She said sullenly, “It’s all because of Sister Li Bingyu. She stepped on my bookmark and broke it without any reason. She just saw that I was young, tsk, so she bullied me. One day, I want to become more powerful than her!”
Pei Ziheng asked, “You want to become more powerful than her?”
“Yes, then she won’t be able to bully me!” Xia Ling raised her head with sparkling eyes. “Brother Pei, tell me, how can I become powerful?”
