Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Qingwu is Our Treasure Chapter 131: Chapter 131 Qingwu is Our Treasure The man’s profile was particularly striking in the night, like an exquisite painting.
His obsidian-like eyes were filled with emotion, almost as if he wished to melt the girl in front of him!
Qingwu slightly turned her face, a faint smile on her lips, though her tone was somewhat indifferent.
“I got it.”
Pei Jue vigorously ruffled her hair, letting out a displeased laugh.
Was this her reaction after what he said?
It seemed that to win her heart, he still had a long way to go!
Annie pretended to be a quail while driving.
Unbelievable, the boss was so different in front of the young lady; who would have thought that President Pei, known as the cold-faced King Yan of the Pei Clan, would be so bold in front of Miss Qingwu…
But the young lady truly deserved the best in the world!
At the Shen Mansion.
Elder Shen sat in the main seat, having stretched his neck waiting for a long time. His previously stern face broke into a grin filled with wrinkles when he saw Qingwu and Pei Jue enter hand in hand!
“Grandpa, we’re back. We had some gallery matters to handle this afternoon, so we’re late.”
“What’s wrong with the gallery? Old Man Zuo, how could you give Qingwu a problematic gallery?”
Zuo Jing’an looked puzzled!
“How did I give Qingwu a problematic gallery? That gallery is the largest in Beijing! It was originally prepared the year Qingwu was born, planning to gift it to her when she became an adult!”
Even though he hadn’t managed the gallery much over the years… it was because he really lacked business acumen, but he had hired a professional management team to handle it!
Plus, with Shen Boyi always keeping an eye on it, what could possibly go wrong?
Shen Boyi glared unhappily at the hands of Qingwu and Pei Jue.
He knew Pei Jue wanted to take his sister away! No good intentions, surely!
As for the engagement, in this day and age, as long as his sister sent their secret signal, he would find a way to break the engagement!
Shen Boyi pulled Qingwu away, assertively leading his sister off.
“Qingwu, sit here with brother. I sent over all the materials needed for the gallery and even arranged for the group’s construction team to assist.”
Shen Dongli, worried his daughter might be bullied at the gallery, quickly asked, “Darling, what’s wrong with the gallery? Need dad’s help?”
“No worries, just some unexpected situations. I’ll handle it.”
Elder Pei frowned, looking at Pei Jue.
“How could you look after Qingwu so poorly that her gallery still had issues? Next time, you go to work with Qingwu!”
Pei Jue helplessly looked at the stubborn old man.
He wished to work alongside his girl, but she probably wouldn’t want that!
“If Qingwu is willing to work with me, I’ll arrange it right away and go to and from work with her daily.”
Shen Boyi: “Who wants to work with you? President Pei, you have a large industry; better manage your own affairs first.”
“Thanks for the concern, big brother. Everything in the Pei Clan is running smoothly. I heard you are interested in the municipal government land too?”
Shen Boyi perked up, “What do you mean? Did you get news on that land?”
Pei Jue took a sip of tea, smiled but didn’t reply.
Shen Shushan said, “Qingwu is still young and doesn’t need to work every day; she can spend time with her brother when free. No need to trouble President Pei.”
“Taking care of Qingwu is my duty. I heard third brother intends to invest in some entertainment companies? I wonder if you have any interest in Xingchen Entertainment.”
Shen Shushan widened his eyes, forcing himself to stay calm.
“Xingchen? That’s a company comparable to Hollywood. You have investment channels?”
“Coincidentally, Xingchen happens to be an industry under the Pei Group.”
Shen Shushan was utterly shocked!
He knew the Pei Group was vast, but didn’t expect it to this extent… Holding a company like Xingchen Entertainment, Pei Jue could make endless money even staying at home.
Shen Jishi: “Even if President Pei’s investment insights are good, you and Qingwu aren’t married yet. Until Qingwu expresses her wish to marry you, please keep a respectful distance from our sister.”
“I understand.”
Pei Jue unbuttoned his suit, sat next to Qingwu, and gazed at her deeply.
“That’s why I’m pursuing Qingwu. Before Qingwu agrees to marry me, I won’t overstep my bounds.”
His words reassured the Shen family collectively.
Qingwu looked at him, surprised, meeting Pei Jue’s starry eyes.
He was willing to explain to her and her family just to ease the Shen family’s mind… She hadn’t expected this; even small matters he took to heart.
Qingwu sipped her soup lightly; her heart was warmed just like her stomach by the hot soup…
Shen Dongli, with a large soup spoon in hand, tapped each of his three sons, angrily said, “You rascals, what are you talking about? President Pei and Qingwu get along well. If you’re feeling envious, go find a wife yourselves!”
“Where’s the second son? It’s a family gathering, and he’s not here!”
Shen Zhongshuang stood at the entrance, dusty and carrying a bunch of gifts.
“I came back late, brought some gifts for everyone.”
Zuo Wanjun immediately stood up, went to Shen Zhongshuang’s side, and looked him up and down.
“Second, did you go to Africa? Why are you covered in sand and darker?”
Shen Zhongshuang exchanged a tacit glance with Shen Boyi, and the brothers knowingly shared a look.
“Mom, I went out for research, trying to make it back for dinner, but the car broke down, so I ran back. I’ll go change and be right back for dinner.”
Zuo Wanjun, hearing it was for research, was relieved.
Qingwu’s nose gently twitched.
She detected a faint scent of blood and medicine in the air, indicating Shen Zhongshuang was injured, but it seemed the wound was treated.
Her second brother was a genius doctor, so she didn’t need to worry about that.
Once Shen Zhongshuang returned to the dining table, the family began to eat.
Though Elder Shen hadn’t said it, everyone intuitively waited for Shen Zhongshuang; the family only picked up their chopsticks once everyone was present.
Shen Boyi was just about to peel shrimp for his sister, only to find Pei Jue had already taken over his task!
Watching Pei Jue naturally take care of Qingwu, Zuo Wanjun could hardly hide her proud motherly smile!
Shen Dongli, too, seemed to see himself and Zuo Wanjun in their younger days, feeling sweet just by watching!
“Qingwu, I heard you dealt with the gallery’s leech? That guy embezzled a lot from the gallery, and Qingwu detected it! Our darling is amazing! I believe the Shen family’s future is bright!”
The whole family was invigorated, listening to Shen Dongli embellish the story of Qingwu handling Feng Han, vivid and heartfelt.
For the first time, Qingwu realized…
If Shen Dongli lost his job, he could still become a storyteller!
Elder Zuo Jing’an decided on the spot, “Tomorrow, for the exhibition, our entire family will go! I want to see who dares to bully our Qingwu!”
Elder Shen wholeheartedly agreed, “Finally, some sense. Our family’s going to cheer for Qingwu! We have to go!”
The family started planning and was very enthusiastic.
In the corner, the maid quietly filmed the scene, sending it to Shen Yurou…
“Miss Yurou, it seems there’s no place for you in this home now! You must work harder!”
