Chapter 1004 - A Bunch of Uglies



Standing at the door of the classroom, she suddenly found herself out of place.

A young lady of the Pei family wearing a little western dress looked her over and asked, “Who are you?”

Xia Ling said, “My name is Xia Ling, I come from...”

“She came from the orphanage in the suburbs. She has no parents, and it is thanks to our family’s kindness that has allowed her to learn etiquette with us.” Before Xia Ling even had the chance to talk, a clear and arrogant voice sounded. Everyone looked toward the source and saw the girl sitting at her desk next to the window. She was wearing a light pearl white silk top, and her hair was long and beautiful. She was about 15 to 16 years old. It was Pei Jingyu.

She was the most distinguished lady of this generation of the Pei family and was faintly the leader of this group of girls. The girls were all shocked after hearing what she said. They swept over Xia Ling with curiosity, in doubt and disdain. A wild child from an orphanage, no wonder she was dressed in such an unclassy way. However, how had she even gotten into the Pei family?

A girl snorted and asked Pei Jingyu, “Sister Jingyu, since when has our family started doing charity work, letting just anyone attend class with us?”

“Yeah, it’s too much,” said another girl.

They were all conceited and could not even tolerate a lowly orphan sharing the same room as them, much less her attending such a grand and graceful class like etiquettes that symbolized the affluence of their identity!

Pei Jingyu stared at Xia Ling and sneered softly. “You see, little beggar, you’re not welcomed here, so why don’t you just get out?” She had long found Xia Ling unpleasant to the eye. It had been inconvenient to attack her in front of Pei Ziheng back then, but now that there was no Pei Ziheng around to support her, she could properly vent her resentment towards her.

She had already sent people to investigate Xia Ling and make clear all her background information. She had even heard Grandpa talk about why Pei Ziheng had adopted this girl—because he was planning to develop her into a huge star.

Pei Jingyu guessed that Xia Ling was nothing but a prop in Pei Ziheng’s eyes.

Forget about being a big star or a little star, or the fact that she was not famous yet. Even if she gained fame in the future, which big star of Imperial Entertainment could afford not being extremely deferential to the Pei family? An entertainer was an entertainer, and no matter how famous, she would still only be trampled on by such a prestigious family!

She looked provocatively at Xia Ling. Her eyes were cold and fierce, her expression full of oppression.

Xia Ling felt extremely wronged. She had meant to say that she had come from the side of Pei Ziheng, yet she had been interrupted by Pei Jingyu’s words. She stared at these prestigious girls who looked down so much on her and felt as though a thorn had penetrated her heart. It hurt painfully. What was wrong with being from the orphanage? Did coming from the orphanage mean she was lowly?

She bit her lips and felt grievances in her heart. She raised her head and stared at Pei Jingyu. “Yes, I’m an orphan. So what? You guys only depend on seeking refuge in a good birthplace. There’s nothing impressive about it!”

She had also often quarreled with people in the orphanage and was now a small expert in stirring trouble. In the past few days when she had joined the family, she had carefully suppressed her temper. Now, she could no longer suppress it.

Pei Jingyu had not expected her to have the guts to talk back. She was shocked.

Before she could even say anything, the other girls who always tried to curry favor with her immediately charged forward to speak out. “Xia Ling, right? How can you talk this way to Sister Jingyu? Why don’t you look at yourself first! Sigh, look at what you’re wearing, was it picked from the rubbish bin? It’s so hideous I don’t even want it if you paid me.”

She jeered at her while laughing.

The girls beside her were all leering at Xia Ling. They were extremely pleased to see this little beggar being defeated.

Xia Ling was even angrier now. This dress was not that ugly! She had picked this dress with Pei Ziheng, so even if she had no eye for beauty, Brother Pei had also said it was pretty!

How could anything Pei Ziheng say be wrong?!

The angry Xia Ling did not understand one thing—

Pei Ziheng was the head of Imperial Entertainment and was busy with business every day. So how could he have had time to go shopping? The clothes he wore from head to toe were all especially recommended by a professional image consultant and purchased by a butler. He simply had to wear clothes without worrying over how to match them.

He was even less experienced with girls’ clothes.

However, he could not be blamed entirely for this. Xia Ling was beautiful, and she looked good in whatever she wore. Such a magnificent and splendid dress would normally suppress whoever wore it, but she could somehow look like a fairytale princess in it, so beautiful that it could take people’s breath away. It was not that this dress was not pretty, it was just that it did not conform with the dressing style of the prestigious virtuous girls.

Pei Ziheng had known about this problem, but he had decided to ignore it and pamper her.

One, because it was enough that she liked the dress. Two, because he had already instructed the butler to find a suitable professional stylist and he had been planning on transforming her image after the stylist was in place. However, he had not expected the girls’ fighting and scheming against each other to be this severe. His little princess had been mocked by the whole group of them the moment she stepped into the classroom.

Xia Ling glared at the girls opposite her and retorted sarcastically. “You guys are the ugly ones. A bunch of uglies, did you think you would become beautiful after wearing clothes when you look so ugly? You guys are so pitiful, relying on clothes to make up for your ugly faces.”

She had practiced the skill of scolding people in the orphanage as well as the skill of how to jab at people’s sore spots. The group of Pei family’s ladies was so angry at Xia Ling’s words they were about to explode. God, how could there be such an uncultivated beggar in this world?! How dare she say they were ugly?! How could she say they were ugly?!

The group of them was about to retort and return her ridicule, but they could not find anything to say despite racking their brains.

It was because everything Xia Ling had said was true! They were a bunch of prestigious ladies and were all beautiful in comparison to the daughters of ordinary families. However, they were just completely incomparable with Xia Ling! Xia Ling’s beauty was one-of-a-kind that could not be crushed. No matter how much one hated her, they could not deny her stunning beauty.

Just like a 100 points and 0 points, they were not on the same level as Xia Ling.

“You!” One of the Pei family ladies was so upset she poked her hand on Xia Ling’s nose. “Who do you think you are? Don’t be too arrogant! Get out of here! Hurry up and get out!”

Xia Ling reached out her hand to slap the girl’s hand away. “And who do you think you are?!”

“You dare to hit me?” The lady cried incredulously. Her name was Pei Jingshan. Her father’s position in the Pei family was not low and she personally had a good relationship with Pei Jingyu as well. Thus, she had never imagined that anyone would dare treat her like this. Pei Jingshan was furious. She rushed up to tear Xia Ling apart. “How dare you hit me! I”ll kill you! I”ll kill you!”

“Jingshan!” The other ladies were stunned and only came to their senses after a good few seconds. Pei Jingshan was not old and was of the same age as Xia Ling—12 years old. The two could not endure their anger and could not refrain from using violence when angered.

The other ladies were all conceited and did not rush up to help. They only stood by the side to scold Xia Ling. “Little beggar, get out of here! You’re not worthy enough to fight with Jingshan!”
