one

Meibao空 squeezed Yabao's face with one hand on the steering wheel, "Just like a squirrel"

After turning a corner, they reached the top of the mountain, and Yabao had long recognized that familiar figure. Today, Pei Jie was dressed particularly casually, wearing a pair of jeans and a pink T-shirt. The pink on him surprisingly did not diminish his ruggedness; instead, it accentuated the delicate features he inherited from his mother, Madam Pei.

Yabo touched her nose and silently chose a pair of three-inch peep-toe high heels, and as soon as she put them on, she began to gasp

"Meibao." Ye Zheng was about to speak to persuade Meibao

As two people brushed past each other, Yabao only heard a hissing sound, and with a tremor of her hand, the red wine in her glass spilled onto her chest. However, this was not the most embarrassing part; Yabao only froze for a second before hurriedly covering her chest, realizing that this was truly a monumental embarrassment.

What about you?" Mei Bao looked at Pei Jie, only to see Pei Jie turning his head to look at Ya Bao, who was "diligently working hard."

"Meibao." Peijie greeted and nodded towards Yabao as a sign of acknowledgment

"Is it really that ugly?" Yabo asked nervously

Pei Jie gentlemanly bent down and made a gesture of invitation, which improved Mei Bao's expression somewhat

As soon as Yabao got in the car, she couldn't help but complain about Meibao, "Meibao, why were you yelling at me just now?"

"Is Arthur not coming?" Yabo asked, sitting in the passenger seat, somewhat puzzled. This piece of land was to be the future love nest of Meibao and Arthur, so Arthur's absence was somewhat unexpected for Yabo.

Yabao and Meibao stood to the side, involuntarily observing Peijie's new female companion, who surprisingly was not Zhao Tong, but rather a female host from a popular evening entertainment program. The show had a good reputation and decent content, which Yabao occasionally watched, but she did not expect that even the elegant host could not rival Peijie's charm

A piece of tender white fish, having detached from the spicy noodle soup, was quickly taken into Ya Bao's mouth. Mei Bao observed as Ya Bao pressed her lips tightly together, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly, seemingly feeling the heat. However, a rosy blush spread across her face, revealing an expression that was both painful and pleasurable. In the end, a hint of a light smile emerged, causing one's gaze to be irresistibly fixed upon her face.

Yabao glanced around the entire venue, and to his surprise, Zhao Tong had also arrived, holding hands with Ji's young master, her smile radiant as a flower

After the meal, Pei Jie did not linger any longer

Meibao truly cannot agree with Yabao's aesthetic, so she quickly changed the subject

In the evening, the Pei family is hosting a banquet, so let's go together.

The house appears to be quite old, with window panes featuring traditional carved designs, and the floor is made of polished blue bricks.

Yabo wrinkled her nose uncomfortably and said, "Sister, isn't this a bit too pretentious for being youthful?"

Yabao put down her chopsticks, looking at Meibao in surprise, her eyes flickering with embarrassment and confusion. However, she said nothing, simply wiped her mouth with a napkin, signaling the end of the meal. She tilted her head slightly, yet the grievance on her face was still unmistakable.

Pei Jie probably also understood where Meibao's anger stemmed from, curling the corners of his lips without saying a word

Meibao completely disregarded Lady Tang's advice and directly pulled Yabao to the dressing room

In the distance, Pei Jie occasionally pointed at the drawings, making requests to his companions. Ya Bao thought Pei Jie looked extremely handsome while pointing at the drawings, but she did not dare to look openly and could only steal a glance with her peripheral vision.

This place is truly wonderful. Yabao feels very fond of it, with its beautiful view of the sea and the blossoming spring, as well as the splendid lights of City H at night.

That is fine. Ye Zheng knew that Ya Bao was most annoyed by events like these

Yabo is her younger sister. For Meibao, there is only the part where she bullies her, and she does not allow any outsiders to offer even the slightest criticism.

"Would you mind if we take a look?" said Meibao

When it comes to the refinement of dishes, Yabao has always believed that it lies in China. Chinese cuisine can be both elegant and popular, ranging from being the most inexpensive takeout in the West to being so exquisite that one hesitates to eat it

A trace of irritation suddenly rose in Meibaoxin's heart. Seeing Peijie frown as if he was about to speak, she preemptively raised her voice and said: "Yabao, that's enough, or you'll be shouting about losing weight again."

The cuisine of "Food Painting" follows the Sichuan style

In a few days, when Yabao returns home for the weekend, he will see Madam Tang and Meibao busy preparing themselves.

Yabao did not dare to look at Peijie, only glancing at Meibao, then facing the air directly opposite, and said: "I like traditional Chinese courtyards, but for residences, I prefer the bright warmth of European style. Combining the two styles seems a bit..." not quite fitting, Yabao assessed herself.

"Well, I have my eye on this piece of land. The one next to it was chosen by Dad for you. What do you think? Even after we get married, we can still live very close to each other." Meibao linked her arm with Yabao's, "This is the dowry that Dad gave."

Mr. Pei. "" Someone who came to see the land with Pei Jie called out to Pei Jie. Pei Jie said to Yabao and the others, "Sorry," and then walked away.

The Qingxiu Mountain villa area adopts a model of independent design, uniformly constructed by Changtian Industry.

At the banquet, as Tang Xu arrived with his wife and daughter, he was warmly greeted by Pei Jie, who was accompanied by a beautiful woman. With such enthusiasm from the host, the guests could not help but feel pleased, and even Mrs. Tang had to don her social mask.

Annie, the stylist of Lady Tang, hurriedly styled Yabao's hair and applied her makeup. Yabao selected a diamond-studded headband from her jewelry box and handed it to Annie. The diamonds complemented her flaxen hair, exuding a goddess-like aura.

Yabo is indeed beautiful, with no dead angles from any angle, and her expressions of joy, anger, and scorn all exude charm. In terms of facial features, she is even more beautiful than Meibao by a few degrees.

Meibao examined Yabao in the mirror and said with a smile, "Yabao, how did Mom manage to make you so beautiful?"

"May I ask, what style do you prefer for the land in Qingxiu Mountain?" Meibao replied irritably

You should take a look at your embarrassing appearance, as if you have never eaten in your entire life, your nose is running from the spiciness, yet you still do not restrain yourself, your nose twitching like a squirrel, if I do not yell at you, are you waiting for Pei Jie to mock you

After a considerable amount of time, Pei Jie finally returned to invite Yabao and the other person, "Do you have time? Let's have lunch together. There is a nice restaurant at the foot of Qingxiu Mountain."

"Let us go and greet our future neighbors," said Meibao through gritted teeth

Yabao nodded with a smile, feeling that Arthur was indeed a better match for Meibao's arrogance. Yabao simply could not imagine what it would be like for Meibao to speak to Peijie in such a manner

Meibao glanced at her and said, "With that face of yours, no matter how you try to dress it up, you won't look any younger. Stop trying to show off with your retreating tactics here."

Yabo's face turned "red" in an instant, and she didn't even dare to think about Pei Jie’s opinion at that time

Yabao is typically one to remain silent, leisurely enjoying her meal. She is particularly fond of the dish known as "Rose Fish," which is essentially the spicy fish from Sichuan cuisine, but presented in a more exquisite manner. In a rose-colored bowl, the snow-white fish fillets are tinged with the red of chili and the blush of the bowl, showcasing the beauty of a rose, hence the name.

Mom, I think I won't go after all, since it doesn't really concern me. Walking around in high heels all night would be so painful for me. The troupe is currently preparing a new dance.

What a coincidence today, is Young Master Pei also here to see the land? Mei Bao was holding back a surge of anger with no place to vent it

Pei Jie likely recognized them from afar and walked straight towards Meibao's car

Fortunately, Peijie spoke up in time, "What style does Yabao like?"

Moreover, I would like to have a swimming pool, which would be even more incompatible with a traditional Chinese courtyard. Yabo pondered with some distress

Yabo smiled and said, "Did he take the land you had your eye on?"

Fortunately, as the future female heir of Changtian Industrial, Meibao has the privilege of being the first to choose a satisfactory location for building a villa in the Qingxiu Mountain villa area, no matter how difficult it may be to find one.

Since Meibao returned to the country, the contact between the Tang family and the Pei family has noticeably increased, which Yabao finds incredible. The two families had grown distant because of Meibao, and although the situation has not changed at all, they are now interacting more frequently because of Meibao

Ah? Yabo's mind is still buried in the rose fish, so he is somewhat out of touch.

Mom—" Yabo began to act spoiled

Qingxiu Mountain is backed by the main city and faces the most beautiful harbor of City H, Qingshui Bay. Originally designated as government-protected land, two companies have managed to operate this protected area by undertaking the costs of ecological restoration for Qingshui Bay, transforming it into a typical demonstration project that achieves a win-win situation for both social and environmental benefits, thus reaping both financial and reputational rewards.

Alright. Yabao is also particularly happy

I intend to ask Stephen to design, as he is most skilled in spatial fluidity, and I hope for a more minimalist approach. Meibao has always favored a modern style characterized by cold, hard lines and simplicity

With mountains at the back and water in front, the courtyard is tranquil, adorned with lush green vines and interspersed with vibrant flowers. The winding path leads to a secluded area, exuding an ancient charm.

Meibao let out a cold snort, exuding an air of menace

The restaurant that Pei Jie referred to as a good one is called "Shi Hua"

Even at the Pei family's banquet, it is still the same circle of people, generally boring. Ya Bao feels irritated by the socializing, yet has no choice but to wear a false smile, feeling the pain in her cheek muscles and her feet. She finally seizes a moment to take a glass of wine and seeks a place to sit in the garden.

On the weekend, Meibao arranged to meet Yabao to view a property, or rather, a piece of land, which is a scarce resource jointly developed by Changtian Industrial and Global International, located in the Qingxiu Mountain villa area

Meibao shot a glance at Yabao, who always looked anything but unattractive while eating. Just now, Yabao's nose was twitching adorably. However, this was Meibao's perspective; she did not believe that the fastidious Peijie would agree. She did not want Yabao to embarrass herself in front of Peijie, which is why she spoke up

The first phase of the ecological restoration project in Qingshui Bay, which lasted for two years, has been completed. The Qingxiu Mountain villa area, characterized by clear waters and lush mountains, has become highly sought after by numerous celebrities and wealthy individuals, making it extremely difficult to secure a property there. The eligibility criteria for admission are astonishingly high.

Meibao began to chatter about her ideas, discussing which designer to invite for the design.

Pei Jie and Mei Bao did not eat much, engaging in occasional small talk. After setting aside the awkwardness of the past, they found that there were quite a few common topics related to business between them.

Just as she reached the door, Zhao Tong hurriedly approached from the garden. Ya Bao had little acquaintance with her and merely nodded in acknowledgment, but Zhao Tong seemed to act as if she had not seen her

Two people were chatting idly when they looked up and saw two cars passing by. One of them was a silver-gray Koenigsegg, which both sisters recognized. This is a custom vehicle, and there is only one in City H

Have you thought about the land at Qingxiu Mountain, Meibao?" Pei Jie took a sip of tea

The Tang family's home-cooked dishes are generally mild in flavor. When dining out with friends, they mostly prefer Western cuisine, and Yabao actually does not eat Chinese food very often. Today, the dining experience was truly to her liking in terms of both the environment and the taste. She did not want to face Peijie and Meibao, and felt that Peijie would hardly notice her, so she inevitably indulged a bit more than usual, but she did not expect such a result to come from it.

She did not want to face Peijie and Meibao, and felt that Peijie would hardly notice her, so she inevitably indulged a bit more than usual, but she did not expect such a result to come from it.

At this moment, Yabao's face was redder than if she had applied rouge, truly a unique shade of rosy white. Her eyes were glistening with moisture, her nose wrinkled repeatedly, and her small mouth occasionally puffed out air, yet she still joyfully wielded her chopsticks.

Yabao had no choice but to resign herself to the arrangements made by the two, as if her time were not her own. Could it be that she could not have other plans at noon? Of course, Yabao did not dare to say this to either Peijie or Meibao

The land that Meibao has set its sights on is located near the top of the mountain. Upon getting out of the car, both individuals could not help but take a deep breath of the fresh air of Qingxiu Mountain. In this day and age, a good ecological environment is the most valuable asset. Although Qingxiu Mountain has developed a villa area, the natural environment is exceptionally well-preserved due to the significant investments made by Changtian and Huanjun. Occasionally, wild animals can be seen darting across the road.

"That works too." Meibao responded somewhat pretentiously. Back when she was pursuing Peijie, he wouldn't even acknowledge her when she offered to treat him to a meal, let alone a drink of water. Today, it was quite surprising that Peijie would take the initiative to extend an invitation.

Pei Jialing and Yabao entered the private room through a flower cover made of gauze with a wooden carved lotus pattern. On the wall hung a pair of couplets with a cloisonné background. This decoration is undoubtedly valuable, yet it is rarely seen with such elegance

"No way." Meibao's voice rang out simultaneously; as long as she was present, she would not allow Yabao to be a social invisible person. To this day, she had not even had a boyfriend, and yet she spent every day either cooped up at home or staying in a dance troupe where there were more women than men.

The Sichuan cuisine of "food painting" tastes like a painting crafted with flavors, akin to a poem composed with tastes

Well, he has a project to discuss today. Moreover, what I say is of little consequence; when he arrives, he will merely nod in agreement.

Meibao chose a violet strapless high-waisted train gown for Yabao. The strapless design features a butterfly shape, tied into a large bow at the back, with two trailing veils that touch the ground, embodying both elegance and a playful charm.
