Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: If the He Family Falls One Day, Let’s See What You’ll Do
She was stunned for a moment; the voice sounded like Uncle Xiaobao, but there was something different about it, more mature and commanding.
Before she had time to turn around, the man had already wrapped his arm around her waist.
He Ziyi’s eyes lit up: "Uncle Xiaobao!"
Pei Yuanchen smiled gently, "Why haven’t you gone back yet?"
"They said that if it weren’t for my surname He, the professors wouldn’t even look at my work." Ziyi felt somewhat aggrieved.
Pei Yuanchen had actually listened to their conversation just now with complete clarity.
Seeing this woman’s aggrieved complaint, he found it amusing, but couldn’t help feeling a bit of anger as well.
He glanced at those girls, his face devoid of any expression, but his gaze was intensely cold.
"There’s some truth to that." Pei Yuanchen suddenly smiled, "They’re just speaking honestly, that’s all."
Ziyi looked at him in disbelief, her cheeks puffing up again.
"However," Pei Yuanchen’s tone shifted, the curve of his lips holding a hint of mockery, "You’ll always be the young lady of the He Family. No matter how much they slander you, that fact won’t change. They’re just jealous of you."
The girls’ faces alternated between pale and flushed, struck speechless.
Ziyi was a bit taken aback: "Jealous?"
"That’s right." Pei Yuanchen smiled again, "They just spoke the truth, now it’s your turn to speak some truth. Tell me, how do these people’s looks and manners measure up?"
Ziyi frequently painted human models, and upon hearing this, she immediately went into critique mode.
She first looked at the round-faced girl and said seriously, "Features too concentrated, short forehead, nose too flat, not pretty. This coat is this year’s new Gucci... oh, it’s fake! I have one at home, and the color is not this deep."
The round-faced girl was utterly humiliated and furious.
Then Ziyi turned to the short-haired girl, "Eyes are too small, and there’s too much white, mouth protrudes, not attractive... Oh, your jade bracelet is of really low quality, can such jade even be made into jewelry?"
The short-haired girl shivered as she hid her wrist behind her back.
Ziyi then shifted her gaze to the third girl, and then to the fourth. Before she could finish, the girls were on the brink of tears.
Ziyi looked at their expressions, slightly surprised.
She was just giving an honest critique, why did they react this way?
Pei Yuanchen’s face remained calm, but he was laughing uproariously inside.
He knew this woman had this capability. Her tone wasn’t aggressive, she didn’t seem to demean anyone, but it was this natural, matter-of-fact demeanor that was most capable of delivering a precise blow to these girls.
That they belittled He Ziyi showed they cared about such things themselves.
Pei Yuanchen approvingly patted Ziyi’s head, "You did well."
Then he turned his gaze to the girls, his eyes not carrying the slightest warmth: "In the future, when you see Ziyi, give way. Otherwise, deal with the consequences yourselves."
Their faces turned ashen.
Pei Yuanchen wasn’t interested in entangling with them, he held He Ziyi a bit tighter and softly said, "Come on, let’s find another place to eat."
Ziyi’s eyes curved into a smile, nodding vigorously.
Uncle Xiaobao was suddenly being so gentle with her.
They hadn’t walked more than a few steps when suddenly, a piercing female voice filled with spite and malice came from behind.
"He Ziyi, if one day the He Family falls, let’s see what you’ll do then!"
He Ziyi’s eyes widened.
Pei Yuanchen burst out laughing suddenly.
