Chapter 1979: Chapter 1915: Struggle for Interests
Pheng Fei shook his head.
"She won’t go to the Flower Field now."
Although he and Chiang Xiao had only been together for two days, he felt that Chiang Xiao, despite her young age, was someone who understood the nuances well.
He had just said that there was only one hour before dinner, asked her to rest in her room, and mentioned that others were also just resting and chatting in the banquet hall, with no one wandering around.
He believed that Chiang Xiao had understood his meaning and would not run to the Flower Field out back before dinner.
The Flower Field was too large; once she went in, if she couldn’t be found, it would delay dinner time.
Chiang Xiao wouldn’t fail to understand this point.
That was why he had specifically arranged for her a guest room with a very good view, and from the window of the guest room, you could already see a large expanse of the Flower Field; why would she go out?
"Send more people to look for her, and search carefully."
"Yes, Mr. Arthur."
After the maid withdrew, a woman happened to walk into the dining room. She glanced over at Pheng Fei, a smile playing at the corners of her lips, then turned to walk towards several others.
The few people over there saw her and stood up to greet her.
"Miss Tina, so glad to see you."
"We didn’t expect Miss Tina to be at the manor; we thought you had gone to the stables."
"Speaking of which, who doesn’t know that Miss Tina is outstanding in equestrian skills, her poise on horseback is truly captivating."
These few people naturally praised Tina.
Tina smiled, looking amiable and beautiful, "Thank you for your compliments, indeed, I just returned from the stables not long ago because my uncle thinks I’m a bit neglectful of my proper duties."
Everyone laughed.
"Oh not at all, Miss Tina excels in everything she does, Mr. Wen Li must be joking."
Wilson looked at Tina, unable to hide the enthusiasm and eagerness in his eyes.
"Miss Tina, will you stay here for the next few days?" he asked.
Tina nodded, "Yes, I am also looking forward to everyone’s works, so I asked my uncle to let me stay so I can admire everyone’s paintings, I hope you don’t make me leave."
Everyone laughed again.
Beside her, there was a woman of similar age, also wearing a corseted long dress with a form-fitting coat, which accentuated her alluring figure. Her golden hair made her look like a sunlit beauty.
She walked over, linked her arm with Tina’s, and spoke in a charming voice, "Miss Tina, what perfume are you wearing today? It smells so fresh."
"Oh, this is our soon-to-be-released new product, it’s not available outside yet. If Luna likes it, I’ll give you a bottle later."
"Wow, really? Indeed, knowing Miss Tina is great, always able to use the latest perfumes and essential oils. By the way, didn’t I hear before that Mr. Wen Li intends to hand over the Asian perfume business to Mr. Arthur? Aren’t these things always handled by Miss Tina?"
"Haha, who did you hear that from?"
"It’s been going around outside, but to say the least, aren’t women the ones who understand perfumes best? What would Mr. Arthur know as a man? Besides, Miss Tina grew up by Mr. Wen Li’s side, and although he’s your uncle, he’s practically like a father, but in terms of closeness, Miss Tina is closer to Mr. Wen Li than Mr. Arthur, right? Miss Fuli doesn’t like doing these things, otherwise it would make sense to give it to her, but where does Mr. Arthur fit in?"
The two women quickly got into a conversation.
