Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Another Backer Appears
She was resentful, damn it!
How did someone like Xia Weibao, with no status or background, get to know Grandfather Fang!
Isn’t Grandfather Fang most annoyed by those women who degrade themselves and use their bodies to climb up, so why is he so enthusiastic about Xia Weibao!
The Fang Family and the Lan Family are barely old friends, yet Grandfather Fang hasn’t even looked at her, which is quite embarrassing.
Especially now, in front of her friends, she’s thoroughly lost face.
Xia Weibao really couldn’t stand the elder’s enthusiasm and laughed helplessly, "Grandfather Fang, I’m an orphan, I don’t have any sisters."
Old Chief Fang suddenly remembered, then held Xia Weibao’s hand affectionately, "What a poor child, you’ve had such a hard time on your own, how about I take you in as a god-granddaughter?"
Xia Weibao, "..."
Wait a minute, this topic shifted too fast; she couldn’t keep up with the train of thought.
How did this get to taking her in as a god-granddaughter?
Lan Yiliu and other young ladies were dumbfounded, followed by jealousy!
What kind of dumb luck did Xia Weibao have to catch the eye of Old Chief Fang!
Fang Lilin’s expression changed slightly, then he stepped forward to support Old Chief Fang’s hand, "Grandfather, you scared Baby."
"Oh, oh, I was too hasty. Little Baby, you don’t need to answer immediately, take your time to think, just give me an answer before the banquet ends."
Xia Weibao, "..."
Haha, and that’s taking my time to consider?
"Grandfather Fang, I appreciate your kind offer."
She smiled slightly, but inside she had doubts, as Old Chief Fang’s attitude towards her seemed unusually warm.
It felt like there was some kind of purpose behind it.
But she could tell that he meant no harm.
Since he didn’t make it clear, she’d pretend not to know.
Old Chief Fang still laughed heartily, "Little Baby, I recently acquired a fine zither. After the banquet, shall we explore playing it together?"
"Oh, you old man, you knew all along that Xiao Xia could play the Fuxi Finger Technique and kept it from me."
Another strong voice interjected, and everyone turned to look, seeing Master Pei Hong walk out of the crowd with a sage-like aura.
However, his sage-like demeanor vanished when he saw Xia Weibao.
He solemnly took out a packet of spicy strips from his pocket, yes, from the pocket of his formally elegant traditional outfit, he took out a packet of spicy strips.
Then handed it to Xia Weibao, "Xiao Xia, these are the spicy strips I specially had someone bring back from elsewhere. You can’t buy them in the capital, and I have many more at my place, take your time to eat them."
Everyone, "..."
This... this...
Old Chief Fang was puzzled, "Old Man Pei, you know Little Baby?"
"Nonsense! She’s the future core elite of our National Studies Association Folk Music Department, how could I not know her."
Holding the spicy strips, Xia Weibao, "..."
Wait, when did she become part of the Folk Music Department?
Pei Hong felt deeply hurt, "Old Man Fang, you knew Xiao Xia was so outstanding, yet you didn’t introduce her to me, what a false friendship we’ve had!"
Old Chief Fang wasn’t pleased, "Shoo, shoo, Little Baby doesn’t need to join any Folk Music Department."
Lan Yiliu and the others were stupefied, Xia Weibao is part of the National Studies Association?
Isn’t she a celebrity? How is she qualified to join the National Studies Association!
That’s a national-level association, representing Huaxia Culture, and those who can get in are one in ten million!
Lan Yiliu was quite upset; the woman she looked down on suddenly climbed over her.
More upset than her was Yan Weiyang.
