Chapter 1206 - Secret Visitors

“Yes! Jiang Bilian really deserves it! That’s the way! Hahaha.” Jin Ling’er laughed cheerfully. “Yingluo, you’re incredible, that’s the way to go so you won’t suffer! Whoever dares to exclude you, you’ll have to snatch her limelight!”

Xia Yingluo smiled bitterly. This good friend had such a bad temper that she could be very close to her mother Xia Ling.

She ate and slept.

The next day, the training camp was calm and quiet. It was probably because Jiang Bilian and the others all had their lips sealed. They didn’t even say anything malicious about Xia Yingluo and made her life very tranquil.

She went to class as usual to practice. In the afternoon, the Dean came to find her with a strange expression. “Xia Yingluo, someone’s here to see you.”

Pei Ziheng seemed to be gossiping with her and said, “Are you accustomed to staying in the training camp?”

She was thinking about this when Pei Ziheng suddenly asked, “Is your mother okay?”

Xia Yingluo only knew vaguely about his relationship with her mother Xia Ling and was not too detailed on it.

Pei Ziheng looked down at a cup of tea on the table and was silent.

After a while, Pei Ziheng smiled a little. It was a very light smile that made her inexplicably sad. “I haven’t seen her for many years, I don’t even know if she’s fat or skinny.” His voice was warm as if he was retrieving some distant memory and was talking to himself. After a long time, he raised his eyes and asked Xia Yingluo, “Why did you take her surname and not your father’s?”

At this time, Xia Yingluo restored the nature of a little girl and pouted slightly. “My uncle said the surname Li is too horrible, and a lady should be called Xia. My dad said he had a selfish mind and wanted to abduct his daughter to the Xia family. They quarreled for several years, and then my account registration couldn’t be held back anymore, so they had to compromise—they usually call me Xia Yingluo, but in the household registration and genealogy, I’m Li Yingluo.”

Pei Ziheng also listened for a while, and then he said, “You have suffered.”

Xia Yingluo sighed as she said, “Everything good is stuffed to me, why doesn’t my brother get the same treatment?”

She talked for a long time and was a little tired. She took a teacup and drank water.

Pei Ziheng was a little stunned, then he laughed. His smile this time was a little melancholic and bitter.

He didn’t ask again and only drank tea slowly.

This was not difficult. Pei Ziheng nodded and agreed.
