That's not what she meant by girls.

This was not the original intention of her divination.

Anna didn't feel as uncomfortable as she did now when she was laughed at by the servants. It felt like someone had bitten her heart and tore out a piece of it.

It revealed the little things she had hidden for ten years.

A waiter chased me out, and the guard at the door also walked away.

Eighteen-year-old little Anna cried, and the protective desire of people for miles around was aroused, except for Pei Huai.

He was silent for only a few seconds and drove away.

People coming and going gathered around Anna and asked her what was wrong and if she needed help.

Anna didn't speak, her tears wiped on her lace skirt.

Although Pei Huai left early, it did not affect their original intention of attending the banquet tonight.

Xu Mingzhi successfully connected with the key people of the Zhoujing project. Pei Shizhan accompanied him. He didn't speak much, but he played a very important role.

By standing next to Xu Mingzhi, he was telling everyone that the Pei family and the Xu family were together.

When the entertainment came to an end, Xu Mingzhi clinked glasses with Pei Shizhan and said a few polite words.

The surrounding guests all looked towards the entrance in unison, causing Xu Mingzhi and Pei Shizhan to also look over.

It's the Duke's family.

"Where have you been? Why did you leave without telling us?" The Duke was worried, but couldn't control his loud voice.

"Don't scare the child..." Miyazawa Rei saw the water flowing down the sides of Anna's lowered cheeks, her voice paused, and she felt extremely distressed, "Anna, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

Miyazawada narrowed his eyes, "Even people from the Duke's Palace dare to bully me. Sister, my brother will make the decision for you."

The Duke became even more anxious when he saw this, but no matter how they asked, Anna just shook her head and said nothing.

The Duke was so angry that he raised his finger to point at her and walked away, "What a boring gourd!"

The guests looked away one after another and whispered to the people around them.

Pei Shizhan's expression was a little serious.

Xu Mingzhi looked at Anna. The little girl was beautiful and clean. It was especially distressing when she cried, but... she just couldn't like her.

At this time, Pei Shizhan, who was standing beside her, looked past her.

"relatives by marriage……"

Pei Shizhan turned around and smiled gently, "He is a familiar person. Let's go and find out the situation."

Xu Mingzhi held his head slightly.

When the Duke saw Pei Shi looking over, the frown that was frowning a second ago suddenly relaxed.

The two greeted each other familiarly.

There were several groups of other guests sandwiched in the middle, and the sounds of their chats reached Xu Mingzhi's ears intermittently.

"What? Your son is here too?" The Duke's voice was rich, but now the pitch was in vain, and he could hear it especially clearly.

Pei Shizhan nodded and looked away from Anna calmly.

The Duke followed him and looked at his daughter, as if he understood something.

The Duke's tone sounded as if he had missed a hundred million, "I was busy just now. I missed it. Why did he leave so early?"

"There are some work matters," Pei Shizhan, "Thanks to the Duke's favor, I will definitely have a chance next time."

The Duke didn't seem to want to give up just like that, "How many days will your master be here on business? I will host a banquet at the Duke's Palace tonight. You must ask him to..."

Pei Shizhan smiled and declined, "Next time, he will go back tomorrow, and this time he is accompanying his future mother-in-law. I'm afraid he is not in the mood to think about anything else."

He said the last sentence very casually, but the Duke understood the implications of his words.

The Duke smiled awkwardly and said, "I've seen the news too. Mrs. Xu is so lucky."

Xu Mingzhi just listened intermittently. It wasn't until someone came to talk to her that she calmed down.

**

Evening, Duke's Palace.

Servants came and went, serving several masters.

Before attending the banquet, there were many relationships in the Duke's list that needed to be moved, but now that the banquet is over, the topic of conversation only revolves around the third master of the Pei family.

Miyazawa Rei told her servants to have a lighter dinner, and there was no need to do it for her. As long as she attended the banquet during the day, she would not eat at night.

She is very strict about her body shape.

Anna has been in a state of despair since she came back. In the Duke's view, this has lost the etiquette of a Duke's lady and is very rude.

The atmosphere in the living room was not relaxed. Miyazawa was very aware of current affairs. "Father, mother, I will go upstairs to do some business first."

The Duke nodded.

Before going upstairs, Miyazawa glanced at Anna.

The sister he said no one could bully was crying, but there was no trace of love on his face at the moment, and there was even some indescribable excitement.

Hidden beneath his gentle and sensible appearance.

The Duke winked at the servant, who walked up to Anna and said, "Miss, let me help you go upstairs. Let's change our clothes first."

Anna nodded blankly and followed her upstairs.

When she left, the Duke sighed as if he hated iron.

Miyazawa Rei took care of all the household affairs, and finally asked the servant to stew a cup of nutritious soup upstairs, and Miyazawa Tian and Anna each took a portion.

"Okay, stop being busy and take a rest," the Duke waved his hand impatiently.

Miyazawa Rei glanced at him, curled her lips in understanding, made a cup of tea and put it on his table, and then sat next to him.

"If you ask me, President Xu is still more foresight than us."

The prince raised his eyelids and looked at her.

Miyazawa Rei slowly said, "The Xu family suddenly moved back to China last year and lost so many projects. I thought it was strange at the time, but now I understand."

"I went back to Mrs. Pei. There is a saying in China, which is that the first person who enters the water tower gets the moon. I heard that they made Mrs. Du very happy."

The Duke narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not easy for a woman to be able to support a group by herself."

Miyazawa Rei sat up straight, "Looking at how little Anna looks today, I probably like that man of the Pei family very much. If they can be together, then they will be a real match and they will be in love with each other."

Duke, "You see it too?"

Miyazawa Rei smiled and nodded.

"You have always been interested in her," the Duke said with a pleased expression. "If we can marry the Pei family, our son's career will be more stable in the future."

Miyazawa covered her lips and smiled, "I am satisfied with your words, but this is related to our little Anna's lifelong happiness. I want to help her fulfill her wish because she really likes the man from the Pei family. Tian'er has

You have been very helpful."

The Duke hugged her shoulders and felt moved, "I am away from home on business trips all year round. Fortunately, I feel at ease when you take care of Anna."

In the middle of his words, he seemed to think of something and suddenly looked at her again.

"You said you could help her fulfill her wish... is that possible? Do you have any ideas?"

Miyazawa Rei smiled, "I said, those who are near the water first get the moon. Our little Anna's biggest disadvantage now is that she is too far away from there. I know you are reluctant to let go of your daughter, but just waiting for that man to come to our place will definitely not work.

, for the happiness of little Anna, you have to be ruthless..."
