Chapter 779: Chapter 779: I Want to Invite Brother Jinbei

Quan Chengyi looked at Feifei’s face, which revealed the coquettishness of a young daughter, and felt a pang in his heart.

"Feifei, you couldn’t possibly be interested in him, could you?"

Feifei pursed her lips and nodded shyly.

Quan Chengyi was startled, "Feifei, don’t scare me like that!"

Feifei had a look of confusion in her eyes, "Scare you?"

She seemed not to understand at all and asked in puzzlement, "What do you mean by that? How would I scare you?"

"You’re still asking!" exclaimed Quan Chengyi, patting his chest, "Jinbei, he’s a married man, and you know his wife, Shi Yaoguang! She’s the famous movie queen!"

Feifei pouted dismissively, "So what about a movie queen? Is it that impressive?"

If it had been before, she naturally would not have considered a movie queen ordinary.

But things were different now.

She was the little princess cherished in the palm of Quan Chengyi’s hand.

A mere movie queen, in her view, really wasn’t much.

After all, Quan Chengyi had promised to make it up to her.

Therefore, she naturally did not need to fear Shi Yaoguang, let alone show her any respect.

How could Quan Chengyi know this was what Feifei was thinking?

He did promise to give Feifei a better life.

But he had never said he would let Feifei eclipse Shi Yaoguang.

Who was Shi Yaoguang?

Was she someone he could easily handle?

Unfortunately.

Feifei did not understand his intentions.

She seemed to have fallen into a strange loop.

But she had not yet realized it herself.

This was somewhat similar to the mentality of the suddenly wealthy.

She had transformed from a woman who could only climb up by selling her body to a wealthy young lady.

Naturally, she would try even harder to seize every opportunity that could change her future.

Quan Chengyi was unaware of Feifei’s thoughts; meanwhile, Feifei kept reminding herself.

The opportunities she could grasp were limited, and Quan Jinbei was the best man she could find. She definitely had to secure him.

It was with this thought that she couldn’t help but begin to carefully plan.

After she returned home with Quan Chengyi and he showed her around the room and gifts he had prepared for her over the years, Feifei was very touched.

Beyond being moved, there were also grievances in her heart.

If only Quan Chengyi had found her earlier, she wouldn’t have had to suffer for so many years.

She could have been born a little princess and might even have had the chance to be first under the moon due to proximity.

As Quan Chengyi was Quan Jinbei’s uncle, her relationship with Jinbei would certainly be very close.

If there had been childhood affections, perhaps Jinbei’s wife wouldn’t necessarily have been Shi Yaoguang.

In Feifei’s view, Shi Yaoguang the movie queen really wasn’t worthy of Quan Jinbei.

The former her yearned to climb up in the entertainment industry because it was the only way she could access and get closer to the upper echelons.

Aside from the entertainment industry, which could provide closeness to wealth and glory, all other jobs seemed too insignificant for her.

What she wanted was the very best of everything in the world.

"Ding~"

Just as Feifei was resolute in her goal, a strange sound suddenly echoed in her mind.

After hearing it, she felt it odd and instinctively exclaimed, "What sound was that?"

Quan Chengyi did not hear the strange sound, so he looked at Feifei with an inquiring gaze, "Feifei, what’s wrong? Did you hear a sound?"

Feifei, seeing Quan Chengyi’s puzzled look, knew he must have not heard the sound, and subconsciously hid the fact that she had heard it, shaking her head and saying, "It’s nothing, I was just distracted. Dad, where did you leave off just now?"

Quan Chengyi repeated what he had just said, "I finally found my precious pearl, and I want more people to know this great news. So I am thinking of hosting a banquet for you, to introduce you to the world. What do you think?"

Feifei immediately looked at him with surprise, "Dad, are you serious?"

As she spoke, her cheeks flushed with emotion, "What I mean is, Dad, do you really not mind my past at all?"

She used to be Mr. Pang’s mistress, and although not many knew of this, there were still quite a few who did.

With a little investigation, one could understand the whole story.

Knowing this yet still willing to host a banquet for Feifei moved her deeply.

She thought, if it had been her who finally found her daughter, only to learn that her daughter had been a mistress to a man about her own age, she might not be able to accept it without resentment.

Though Quan Chengyi had previously said he would not despise her, she still found it almost unrealistic.

It was only when he now said he would host a banquet for her that she finally felt it was real.

Quan Chengyi truly didn’t despise her!

Seeing Feifei’s excited expression, Quan Chengyi felt nothing but heartache.

This was his daughter, who, had she lived by his side, would have grown up as a happy little princess from a young age. How could a mere banquet excite her so much?

He then said with a tone of guilt, "My daughter, it’s my fault for not protecting you before, making you feel so insecure. I can assure you that I won’t let you suffer any more in the future. Do you believe your dad, okay?"

Feifei nodded vigorously, "I believe Dad!"

Quan Chengyi smiled warmly, "Good girl."

After a pause, he then asked, "Have you made any close friends over the years? You can invite them to join the banquet."

By saying this, he meant he was willing to acknowledge any friend Feifei might have made, regardless of who they were.

Feifei had no real friends before, they were merely stepping stones.

Without any value to exploit, why should she continue to put in the effort to deal with them?

That’s what Feifei thought, but she wouldn’t say it out loud.

She just bit her lip, looked down with a sad and troubled expression, "Thank you for your kindness, Dad, but I... I’ve never really had any friends."

Seeing her like this, Quan Chengyi felt even more heartache and immediately said, "It’s okay if you didn’t have friends before, friends... you’ll make them in the future. My precious daughter is worth everything!"

Feifei’s face showed some unease, "Dad, I... Although I don’t have friends, there is someone I would like to invite."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, the image of Mr. Pang involuntarily popped into Quan Chengyi’s head. His expression stiffened, yet he did not directly refuse but patiently asked who she wanted to invite.

Feifei said, "I want to invite Brother Jinbei."

"Jin..." Quan Chengyi almost choked on his saliva.

He looked at Feifei in shock, "What, what did you just say?"

Feifei drooped her eyes, a pitiful expression on her face, "Can’t I invite him?"

"It’s not that you can’t, but he might not come."

Quan Chengyi explained the situation candidly, "Every day, people wish to invite him, and the banquets he deems worthy to attend are few and far between. I don’t have the clout to guarantee that I can persuade him."
