Chapter 156 - 156 156 Who Wants to Sleep with Their Younger
Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Who Wants to Sleep with Their Younger Sister! Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Who Wants to Sleep with Their Younger Sister! Shen Shaojia watched Pei Jundu walking away and made a funny face.
“Qingwu, don’t mind him. Let’s go, I’ll take you for a stroll.”
Qingshan County wasn’t too big or too small. The old town was right outside the research base, and that’s where the researchers usually spent their downtime.
Qingwu grabbed Shen Shaojia’s arm.
“I’m tired, I want to rest. Sister, stay with me.”
Shen Shaojia’s heart bloomed with joy!
Her sister wanted her to rest with her!
Dazzled by Qingwu’s gentle and warm smile, Shen Shaojia didn’t think twice, pulling Qingwu toward the Shen Family’s old house in Qingshan County.
“I usually stay in the dormitory; it’s small so I won’t take you there. Let’s stay at the old house for the next couple of days, alright?”
“Okay.”
Qingwu glanced at the dark circles under Shen Shaojia’s eyes, pretending not to notice.
The Shen Family’s old house was cleaned daily. The entire courtyard looked clean and rustic, full of French charm. The warm lighting indoors suggested it was a house from the last century, and if sold, it wouldn’t be cheap.
Shen Shaojia led Qingwu to the door of a room, apologetic yet secretly delighted.
“Um, Qingwu, since the old house isn’t lived in much, I’m worried about safety hazards, so why don’t you share a room with me?”
She secretly rubbed her hands together, looking expectant yet afraid of being caught.
Fortunately, her sister was simple and kind, completely unaware of her little tricks.
“Alright, I’ll freshen up first. You go ahead and rest.”
Shen Shaojia joyfully agreed!
Her sister wanted to share a room and a bed with her!
She rolled on the bed with restraint, hugged her pillow, and giggled silently, then informed the Shen family in the group.
“Who’s sharing a bed with sister? It’s me, Shen! Hehe, don’t be too envious.”
The Shen family all said they weren’t a bit envious, not at all…
Just a little heartbroken, a bit jealous, and a little wanting to smack Shen Shaojia!
After washing up, Qingwu found Shen Shaojia already asleep, hugging a pillow.
Her phone screen still glowed, the background was the full family photo sent by Shen Shushan.
Shen Shaojia’s sleeping face was serene, clearly exhausted.
Qingwu didn’t disturb her, gently closed the door, and went out. She found a spot in the courtyard and connected to the Dark Web.
Ye Zhi’s message came through.
[Boss, Dark Web pinned message, someone wants to buy a ticket to Maitar Prison. Offered fifty million.]
[Target?]
[Not clear, it’s an anonymous IP. We tracked it only as far as the Pacific Ocean, then lost the signal. And there’s some gossip, Elder Su seems to want Su Wenyin as the heir.]
This gossip wasn’t exactly a secret; it had spread throughout the circle!
Everyone was discussing whether Elder Su had lost his mind!
[Another piece of news, the Su Family gallery is opening opposite boss’s gallery, handled by Su Yurou.]
Ye Zhi was getting tired of the gossip!
Mrs. Shen’s adopted granddaughter suddenly became part of the Su Family, and Su Wenyin was even being positioned as the Su Family’s heir. Ye Zhi wanted to ask if the Su Family was preparing for bankruptcy…
What kind of judgment is that?
[Keep an eye on Elder Su’s mental health. When there’s a clue, provide that information to the other Su Family members for a fee.]
[Got it! That’ll definitely bring in big, big, big money!]
Elder Su’s behavior was beyond abnormal, very much like an unclarified state induced by some hallucinogenic drug.
Closing the Dark Web, Qingwu casually glanced at the information on her phone, selectively replying to a few messages.
She had just replied to Pei Jue’s message when his call came in.
“I sent you so many messages. Why are you only responding now?”
“Haven’t checked my phone.”
He had called her just half an hour ago. How long has it been since?
Since when did she know he was so clingy!
“When are you coming back? I miss you.”
“In a few days.”
“Do you miss me?”
Qingwu sighed gently, “Pei Jue, we just saw each other yesterday.”
Pei Jue’s voice was somewhat low and even carried a hint of grievance, “So what? My fiancée was supposed to have a midnight snack with me!”
Forgetting they were supposed to have dinner was indeed her fault, but wasn’t he being a bit clingy?
“…I miss you.”
Such compensation served as interest for standing him up, and Pei Jue was quite receptive!
He curled his lips, undoing the top button of his shirt with one hand.
“I miss you too. It seems there’s some issue with the Vermilion Bird Laboratory. Uncle will handle it, don’t worry. Uncle has always appreciated your sister, treating her as an heir to develop.”
Qingwu frowned, “A wronged heir? Then it’s not worth it.”
Hadn’t Shen Shaojia endured enough at the Vermilion Bird Laboratory?
Yes, she was a genius, but her brilliant mind could shine anywhere!
In Qingwu’s eyes, Vermilion Bird Laboratory was fortunate to have Shen Shaojia.
This was the first time Pei Jue heard her proactively defending someone; apparently, Qingwu was getting along well with Shen Shaojia!
Her family, Pei Jue would also treat as his family.
“Uncle has an eccentric temper. It was only because something happened in the Pei Family that he resolutely went into research.”
“What happened?”
Pei Jue paused for a moment, unclear if he was hesitating or thinking, his words carried infinite loneliness when he spoke again.
“If it weren’t for that incident, my mother might still be alive, and Uncle should have had a family.”
Qingwu was silent for a long time, “I’m sorry.”
Pei Jue restrained his emotions, looking at the photo of Qingwu on the table, his gaze soft.
“When my fiancée becomes curious about those things, you’re welcome to come and exchange stories with me.”
The stories he wanted to know were nothing but her past with Beidou Star!
Could those dark abyss-filled memories really be brought to light?
She had experienced darkness she wasn’t ready to revisit!
Those weren’t just her scars, but wounds all Beidou Star members didn’t want to touch again.
Qingwu pursed her lips, her voice cold, “No thanks, I’m not interested right now.”
Pei Jue wasn’t surprised by her rejection.
Whenever it came to those matters, she always turned cold, keeping people at arm’s length.
His voice was low and gentle, “I don’t mean to pressure you, but I look forward to the day my fiancée can trust me, willing to share her past. Maitar Prison’s schedule is set for the day after tomorrow, can you make it?”
The situation at Maitar Prison was intricate, not easy to reschedule.
Qingwu nodded, “I can.”
…
Under the Mass Grave, Lin Jingsheng limped to his ruined wheelchair, his entire body aching in every part!
He still couldn’t fathom what actually happened!
Qingwu, that rebellious child, how did she change so drastically in an instant?
Lin Jingsheng endured the pain, found a spot to sit down, and barely rested when Qian Yueqiang let out a screeching scream!
“Ah! Husband… you, you, you…”
“What are you making a fuss about? Almost scared me to death…” Lin Jingsheng cursed as he turned around to find himself sitting atop a pile of white bones!
Another scream pierced the air!
Lin Jingsheng plopped onto the ground, utterly terrified, his legs feeling like they were filled with lead and pain!
“My god, what kind of place is this…”
What kind of crimes had he committed!
Qian Yueqiang recalled Qingwu’s final words, scrutinizing Lin Jingsheng with a probing look.
If Lin Jingsheng really had children outside… what would become of the Lin Family fortune and Chengcheng’s share?
“Husband, I saw what Qingwu was wearing on her hand—it looked like the Jade Bracelet mother had before she passed. Based on its luster, it’s worth a fortune, at least seven figures.”
Qian Yueqiang had grown accustomed to luxury items over the years, one glance, and she knew that bracelet wasn’t cheap!
“Are you saying the one mother claimed was accidentally lost, and refused to give me that bracelet? That Qingwu stole it? I knew mother was reluctant to take it out back then!”
