Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

Although Su Chen had some prejudice against the other party because she was part of the Pei Family,

he couldn't help but admire her easygoing and detached demeanor at this moment.

"Alright, let's formally introduce ourselves," he said.

The woman in white extended her slender, fair hand with a smile,

"Pei Man."

"Su Chen."

Seeing that the girl had acted in such a manner, he couldn't very well remain standoffish, so he also extended his hand—though it was only a polite gesture.

However, as soon as his hand touched hers, he suddenly widened his eyes:

"You are? Pei Man?"

A look of utter disbelief spread across Su Chen's face, and he appeared very shocked.

"What? Mr. Su has heard of me?"

Pei Man tilted her head somewhat curiously, asking with a faint smile still lingering on her face.

The few people from the Tang Family turned their gaze toward Su Chen, a hint of confusion on their faces.

"Miss Pei's reputation has indeed reached my ears," Su Chen said with a meaningful look, slowly uttering,

"Didn't Zhuge, that old charlatan, say something—'Shen Shao is a dragon, Pei Man a phoenix'? How could I be so ignorant as to not know about the illustrious Phoenix Lady?"

Upon hearing this, a tremor went through the hearts of everyone present!

Indeed, this saying, 'Shen Shao is a dragon, Pei Man a phoenix,' had been circulating in Yandu a long time ago, but it was only amongst the very upper echelons, the most elite circles!

How could Su Chen possibly know of it?

To tell the truth, this Pei Man was indeed a character wrapped in legends.

Many years ago, the third son of the Pei Family, who was also Pei Rou's third brother, went away, and for many years there was no word from him. Not only did others not know where he had gone or what he was doing,

but even the Pei Family members, including the Family Head themselves, had no idea what this son was out doing.

After several years without any news, the Pei Family had even begun to assume he had encountered some misfortune outside and was no longer alive; otherwise, why would there be no word at all?

Just when everyone had gradually begun to forget about him, on a stormy night, the mud-splattered third son of the Pei Family burst through the doors of the Pei residence, drawing the entire family's attention!

What caught the Pei Family's attention was not just the third son's sudden and wretched return, but more so the small infant cradled in his arms.

The third son of the Pei Family only said one thing—that this was his daughter and hoped the Pei Family would treat her well. Then, after leaving the infant behind, he turned and rushed back into the storm without a backward glance, leaving the Pei family compound!

By the time the members of the Pei Family came to their senses and rushed outside, there wasn't a trace of him to be found.

Faced with an infant and having no clue what had happened, the Pei Family was completely dumbfounded and unsure of what to do.

However, since the third son had declared her his daughter, of course, the Pei Family had to take care of her, but they soon encountered a major problem.

Because after taking the little girl to the hospital for an examination, they discovered that she was born with a disability!

Luckily, the Pei Family was no ordinary family; if there was an illness, they would treat it!

They had to search around the world for the best doctors to treat her, after all, she was the third son's own flesh and blood!

But to everyone's despair, after searching the entire world, no hospital was able to cure her by the time the little girl was five or six years old.

By then, everyone had done their best and had run out of options. Even if the third son suddenly returned, they couldn't blame him for anything.

Gradually, everyone just let her be, taking care of the basic needs of this little girl, but they wouldn't pay too much attention, after all, she was a disabled child!

As long as she was well-fed and warmly dressed, that was enough.

Time passed by day by day, and one day, as the little girl sat in her wheelchair at the entrance of the Pei Family's large courtyard, watching other Pei children play, a dirty, robed old man came by.

When his gaze fell on the face of the little girl in the wheelchair, his whole body suddenly trembled violently, and his eyes burst with an incredibly excited and intense light!

That look was like a dog that had been hungry for many days suddenly seeing braised meat, or like a poor man spotting a piece of gold!

The robed old man immediately began to push the little girl inside, and the Pei Family's Protectors naturally tried to stop him, but this unimposing old man gently waved his robe, and sent several Protectors away.

More people immediately surrounded them, yet no one could come close to the robed old man, and soon a large number collapsed.

At this time, the Pei Family members also came out, demanding to know who this old man was and what he intended by barging into the Pei Family courtyard!

The old man simply reported a name, and the Pei Family members immediately went to inform the Family Head.

Because his name was Zhuge Dongming!

"What brings Zhuge the Immortal to the Pei Family so suddenly?"

The Family Head came out and spoke with great respect, as he, being a man of his stature, was well aware of the old man's extraordinary origins.

"Nothing much, just to scold you Pei Family for being blind to a jewel!"

Zhuge Dongming said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, the Family Head was momentarily stunned, but he somewhat understood when he saw the girl that Zhuge Dongming was pushing.

"Is the treasure that Zhuge the Immortal speaks of this little girl?"

The Family Head asked uncertainly, as he, being the entire Pei Family's Family Head, naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to a disabled girl.

"At least you're not completely foolish."

Zhuge Dongming simply stated:

"This girl is a phoenix. Cherish her well, Pei Family!"

After saying this, Zhuge Dongming walked away with a flick of his sleeve...

From that day onwards, the Family Head kept the girl by his side and personally taught her.

After all, Zhuge the Immortal's reputation was such that his predictions never failed to come true.

The Family Head indeed gradually discovered the girl's extraordinary qualities, especially her intelligence, which was almost demonlike!

After several events, the Family Head couldn't help but lament that this girl was a great blessing from heaven to the Pei Family!

When the girl reached the age of fifteen, the Family Head even began to gradually delegate the family's power to her.

You should know, this was a treatment that none of his sons had received!

People naturally felt unconvinced, but under the guile of this teenage girl, it wasn't long before everyone went from feeling discontent to admiring!

Moreover, in the past ten years, all the decisions she had made turned out to be absolutely correct in hindsight.

This also allowed the Pei Family's power to grow steadily, securing the second seat among the great families in Yandu, and covertly challenging the number one family, the Shen Family!

In this process, the girl also established a prestige within the Pei Family second only to the Family Head!

It was precisely for this reason, that back in the hospital when she said "Agreed," everyone else fell silent...

And the facts that followed proved that her decision was once again absolutely correct.

Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether the old head of the family would be dead or alive right now!
