The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Beware of the Big Pig Trotters! Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Beware of the Big Pig Trotters! The old men were initially waiting eagerly, wanting to be discharged from the hospital quickly. They didn’t expect to be stood up like this!

Being stood up was one thing, but hearing that Pei Jue had accompanied Qingwu back to her hometown, the old men understood and just told them to be safe and return tomorrow.

In short, they didn’t want to discharge themselves first; they insisted on waiting for Qingwu to come pick them up.

After listening to Pei Jue helplessly relay the old men’s instructions, Qingwu couldn’t help but laugh out loud!

Whether it was the two old men or the Shen family, they all sincerely cared for her!

Both Pei Jue’s and Qingwu’s phones rang simultaneously.

Shen Boyi’s angry voice came from Pei Jue’s phone, “Pei Jue! Where did you take my sister? Are you planning not to come home tonight?”

“Calm down, big brother. Xiao Wu and I are at Qingyuan; didn’t you personally write that sign?”

Shen Boyi blushed, clearly not expecting Pei Jue to see through his little scheme so easily.

After all, his calligraphy had won many international awards!

Although it seemed a bit overkill to hang it at a small village house entrance, thinking that this was where his sister had lived for so many years and would completely belong to her in the future warmed Shen Boyi’s heart.

“Hmph, so what if I wrote it? Are you planning to stay at Qingyuan tonight and not come back?”

“We do plan to stay one night.”

Shen Boyi quickly hung up the phone and immediately called Qingwu, only to be told the other party was on another call.

Shen Shaojia, while looking at her experiment data in front of her, gave a stern reminder.

“Xiao Wu, don’t be fooled by that big pig hoof Pei Jue. If he dares to take advantage of you tonight, make sure to hit him where it hurts!”

Qingwu: “…”

“But if you want to take advantage of him, that’s alright too; just be safe.”

Qingwu: “…”

What exactly was her sister thinking?

“Sister, how do you know Pei Jue and I are at Qingyuan?”

“Pei Jue himself sent the location and even your photos with him. Hmph, he even showed your photos to Granny Lin. At least he has some conscience.”

Only then did Qingwu know that Pei Jue actually informed the Shen family of their location… probably so they wouldn’t worry about her!

That he could go to such lengths, considering even such small things, made Qingwu’s heart feel warm.

“Xiao Wu, when are you coming to Qingshan County to visit your sister? I miss you so much that I’ve lost my appetite and have become almost skinny! When you visit me, I’ll make you a roast chicken, braised chicken, stewed chicken, and fried chicken feast!”

Qingwu: “…”

At the Qingshan County experiment base, those chickens in the feast were probably officially sanctioned chickens; wasn’t it okay for her to eat them?

“I’ll go pick up Grandpa from the hospital tomorrow, and in a few days, I’ll come see you. Grandma and Grandpa have prepared a lot of gifts for you.”

“Good, good, good, sister will be waiting for you!”

Shen Shaojia gave a series of kisses to the receiver before reluctantly hanging up the phone.

Shen Boyi’s call persisted and finally got through after Shen Shaojia hung up.

“Xiao Wu, are you not coming home tonight?”

Qingwu glanced at the darkening sky, already dotted with stars.

Shen Boyi held his phone eagerly, almost wishing he could fly a plane to pick up his sister.

Seeing this, Shen Dongli, beside him, snatched the phone from Shen Boyi’s hand.

“Sweetheart, it’s already late tonight. Don’t come back. Just stay in your hometown. Granny Lin is kind to you, and we are grateful. When there’s a chance, Dad will bring the whole family to stay there!”

Shen Dongli spoke gently and softly to his daughter while giving his eldest son a swift kick.

Unobservant brat!

Xiao Wu and President Pei being together was perfect for building their relationship, wasn’t it?

Why come back? It’s just one night! With his eldest son’s emotional intelligence, no wonder he’s still single!

“Xiao Wu, don’t rush. Just have fun at your hometown, take President Pei around to tour, and come back when you’re done playing!”

Shen Dongli happily hung up the phone, ignoring Shen Boyi’s sorrowful and pitiful look.

“Dad, I can arrange for a helicopter to bring Xiao Wu back.”

“Arrange my foot! You go to sleep! What’s wrong with Xiao Wu and President Pei hanging out for a couple of days? It’s a rare occasion that President Pei shows this much care; it shows he values Xiao Wu greatly. I’m relieved by that! If they get married in the future, their relationship will definitely be great!”

Married?!

The word struck Shen Boyi like a bolt from the blue.

His sister was just back home and already planning marriage?

No way!

Shen Dongli slapped him, “Go, go, go, stop interrupting your sister’s romance!”

Qingwu put away her phone and looked toward Pei Jue beside her.

“There are only two rooms in the house. Uncle Ma said both have been cleaned. Are you really planning to stay here?”

Old Ma carried in dishes as he entered the courtyard and quickly spoke when he heard this, “Oh, miss, I forgot to tell you, the bed in the old lady’s room has been moved because it was gnawed by mice a few days ago, so I took it for repair.”

“The bed in Granny’s room was gnawed? When did that happen?”

“Just a few days ago. After all, the house hasn’t been lived in, and things get broken quickly. The bed in your room was just refurbished last month, so no problem!”

Qingwu furrowed her brow slightly, “If the bed’s broken, we should go back after dinner.”

Old Ma continued, “I dozed off while cooking just now, and I dreamed of the old lady saying she hoped you’d stay tonight to keep her company. Ah, people do get more dreams as they get older!”

Qingwu: “…”

Dozing off while cooking and coincidentally dreaming of Granny Lin?

Do you believe what you’re saying?

Pei Jue rose to arrange the dishes with Old Ma and softly said, “It’s alright, I’ll just sleep on the floor. Since Granny hoped we’d stay, let’s stay.”

Old Ma winked at Pei Jue and left quickly.

Looking at the way he moved, he wouldn’t have any problem signing up for a senior marathon now, not at all like someone whose health was so frail and advanced that he’d doze off cooking!

In the past few years, Old Ma had even participated in local winter swimming competitions, winning first prize every year.

The dishes on the table were all simple and straightforward, but it was obvious that Old Ma had specifically prepared a chicken to entertain them. The aroma of the rich chicken soup hit them directly, making anyone’s mouth water.

However, Pei Jue had no signs of disdain. He tasted all the dishes carefully before looking at Qingwu.

“Did you eat these things when you were young?”

“Mm, Granny worried I didn’t eat well enough to grow strong, so she cooked very well for me every meal.”

Probably to make up for the grievance of almost being starved to death by the Qian family parents when she was a child, Grandma Lin took exceptional care raising her.

This small courtyard housed her most beautiful memories, but when she recalled them, her eyes were still full of sorrow.

Pei Jue’s heart ached dully; he reached out to gently stroke Qingwu’s hair.

“I’ll stay by your side from now on; Granny will always be with you too!”
