Chapter 196 Her Adopter

Xia Ling shook her head slightly.

Just listen to the dean of academic affairs urging: "What are you still doing? Go quickly. Xia Ling, let me tell you, you are a blessing in disguise this time. Mr. Pei is so rich, you have to make him happy. Maybe your sister has the same disease." Counting on it.”

Her heart beat rapidly: "Really?"

"When have I lied to you?" the dean of academic affairs glared at her, "You always know the Emperor Pei, right? It's in the news every day, and it's a wealthy family ranked among the best in the world. Mr. Pei Ziheng, who came this time, is the new patriarch. Being a family member is not comparable to those representatives of small groups who came to donate money in the past. Xia Yu's treatment fee is sky-high to others, but to him it is just a matter of words."

The heart beat faster, Xia Ling clenched her fist secretly, her nails dug into the flesh. For Xia Yu, she can do anything, let alone just dance? Without saying a word, she was about to run to the classroom where the dance clothes were placed. As soon as she took a step, she felt a sharp pain in her feet, and she staggered and almost fell to the ground.

"Hey!" The director of academic affairs supported her, "Be careful! How can you dance if you get hurt?"

She managed to stand still, and the pain in her feet became stronger and stronger, and she was about to break out in a cold sweat. The director of academic affairs looked at her face: "Are you okay? If you feel uncomfortable, just talk. The body is important, so dancing is not a must."

"It's okay." She forced a smile, "I was so happy to hear the news just now, I just walked carelessly."

The director of academic affairs nodded reassuringly and watched her leave.

Along the way, Xia Ling resisted the excruciating pain and walked quickly and steadily. When she arrived at the dance studio, she avoided the teachers and changed her dance clothes and shoes, and hid the blood-stained shoes in the cabinet. They put makeup on her and gave her a lot of instructions, such as being well-behaved and not making Mr. Pei unhappy, etc. She obeyed as usual, and no one noticed anything strange.

She had to dance this dance.

The dean of academic affairs said that he was rich, and in order for him to save Xia Yu, even if there was only one thousandth chance, she must try her best. Not only does she have to dance, she has to dance better than usual.

The dance is scheduled for the luncheon.

The teachers are still urging: "Xia Ling, this banquet is all for you. Mr. Pei didn't plan to stay for the meal, but stayed here just to see you dance. You must behave well and don't embarrass the orphanage. "

She took a deep breath and went on stage.

Dancing is her strong point. She stretches her body and performs difficult moves one after another, as smoothly as water. At first, she still felt a burst of pain in the injured sole, but then she no longer felt the pain. She was immersed in the world of dance. She tried her best to perform what she had learned in her life. When the scene ended, she saw the young man in the audience, Slowly raise your palm and pat it twice.

Is he satisfied? Or is it out of politeness?

Xia Ling felt uneasy and felt that he was Mr. Pei. She couldn't help but look at him a few more times, but she couldn't tell any clues from the expressionless face.

The announcer whispered to her to leave.

Xia Ling was full of worries and walked back as if she was sleepwalking. She sat in the dressing room and did not come out.

I do not know how long it has been.

The door to the locker room was opened by someone, and it was the dean who said, "Xia Ling, why are you still here? You haven't changed your clothes yet? Hurry up, it's too late, Mr. Pei wants to see you."

Mr. Pei wants to see her? She looked at the dean of students in surprise, her heart beating wildly: "What's the matter?"

An unstoppable smile broke out on the dean's face: "He said he wanted to adopt you."

"Adopt me? What about Xiao Yu?!" she asked eagerly. There were too many people who wanted to adopt her, but when they heard that she had to take Xia Yu with her, they all chose to give up without exception.

The smile on the dean's face became even bigger: "The dean has told Mr. Pei about your sisters. Mr. Pei is willing to take you away together, and he also promised to treat Xia Yu well."

Her voice was trembling: "Really?!"

"Why did I lie to you?" He smiled and pushed Xia Ling, "Let me just say that you were a blessing in disguise this time. You sisters finally got the best of their hardships. The Pei family is a super wealthy family and cannot treat you badly. You will live a good life in the future. , don’t forget the orphanage, come back and visit when you have time.”

She nodded vigorously, feeling that everything was just a dream and unreal.

The dean of academic affairs urged her to change clothes quickly, and then answered the phone and said, "Forget it, there's no need to change. The dean is urging us to hurry up. It won't be good if we keep Mr. Pei waiting for too long. Come with me."

He turned around and walked out, and Xia Ling followed. Suddenly he felt a sharp pain in the sole of his foot. Then he remembered that he was still injured. He didn't feel it when he was dancing. Now that he was relaxed, it was killing him.

"What's wrong?" the dean of academic affairs asked after taking a few steps and seeing that she didn't follow.

She gritted her teeth and said it was okay. I secretly felt that my feet were sticky, and the wounds were probably bleeding again. However, she lowered her head and glanced at her feet. She couldn't tell anything from their appearance, so she simply put her mind aside and forced herself to follow step by step. We have reached this point, no matter what, we cannot let the chain slip at the critical moment.

Finally arrived at the VIP lounge.

The dean was talking to the young man when he saw her and enthusiastically pulled her over to introduce her. "Mr. Pei, this is Xia Ling. This child has a hard life, but he is very obedient and sensible. He will never cause you any trouble." He lowered his head and taught her, "Xiao Ling, follow Mr. Pei from now on and be obedient. What do I ask you to do?" Just do whatever you want, you know?”

Xia Ling nodded vigorously and looked at the young man anxiously, fearing that he would not want her.

The young man spoke to the dean: "I want to talk to the boy alone."

The dean took the academic director out, leaving them alone in the room.

Xia Ling carefully looked at him, her adoptee. He was sitting in a dark single sofa chair by the window, with his hands folded casually in a relaxed posture. Fragments of sunlight shone on his face and body, flickering on and off, making him unpredictable and charming. She had to admit that this was the most beautiful person she had ever seen in her twelve years of life.

"Your name is Xiao Ling, right?" He spoke with a gentle voice.

Xia Ling nodded, too nervous to speak.

He smiled: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Ling, I said I would adopt you and I will never go back on it."

"What about Xia Yu?" She blurted out.

"The same goes for Xia Yu." The young man said, "I have already sent someone to go through the adoption procedures for you."

"You will treat Xia Yu's illness, right?" she asked eagerly.

"Of course." He looked at her tenderly, "From now on, I will fulfill all your wishes."

Xia Ling breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that a long-standing boulder had fallen to the ground, her nose became sour all of a sudden, her eyes were burning hot, and she almost cried, "Thank you...Thank you, thank you..."

He smiled and his eyes became gentler: "You don't have to say thank you to me. You are special and deserve all this."

Is it worth it? She looked at him blankly.

He didn't explain much, just said: "Xiao Ling, come here and let me take a look."
