The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Unprincipled Boss Xiao Chapter 176: Chapter 176: The Unprincipled Boss Xiao Shen Shaojia, being such a smart person, knew that Qingwu went to Melta Prison to find the director of Love Orphanage back in the day, and was surely aware there must be a reason for her visit!

Her sister wanted to help her find her real family, which is why she went to such a dangerous place.

Qingwu smiled lightly, feeling warm inside.

Shen Shaojia leaned on Zuo Wanjun’s shoulder, pretending to be a little troubled.

“Then what should I do? Now I have to fight with Xiao Wu for mom again.”

Zuo Wanjun scolded, “Nonsense, I’ve always been your mom. I was the one who changed your diapers and fed you when you were little. Even if your biological mother came back, she couldn’t take you away from me!”

The Shen Family hoped to find Shen Shaojia’s biological parents, but if that day ever came, Zuo Wanjun knew she wouldn’t let her go easily.

The daughter she raised was so sensible and smart; if her biological parents were as unreliable as Xiao Wu’s adoptive parents, she wouldn’t give her up for anything!

Qingwu nodded in agreement, “Yes, having Sister in our family is nice, I like Sister.”

Shen Shaojia’s face instantly blossomed like spring, and her smile was dazzling!

She turned to look at the Shen Family’s fourth son sitting in the back seat of the business car, raising her eyebrow proudly.

“Listen! Did you hear that? If not, I’ve recorded it and can play it on repeat for you to hear who Little Sister likes the most!”

Shen Shushan said, “Xiao Wu, tell them you like Third Brother!”

Shen Jishi retorted, “Nonsense, she clearly likes me the most.”

Zuo Wanjun angrily said, “Is this really the time to argue with Shaojia? She’s your sister! You shameless boys.”

Before the sons could feel dejected, Zuo Wanjun switched tones and gleefully looked at Qingwu.

“Xiao Wu, don’t you like mom the best?”

The four sons of the Shen Family: “…”

Qingwu had no choice but to console the competitive Shen Family members.

Pei Jue leaned toward the video screen, politely greeting them.

“Auntie, regardless of Shaojia’s choice, we will respect her decision. But since it involves my Second Uncle, I’ve sent the recording to Grandpa as well. I hope you understand, Auntie.”

Zuo Wanjun nodded.

“Yes, the elders should be informed about this. But A-jue, your Second Uncle…”

Zuo Wanjun seemed a bit disdainful.

Shen Dongli angrily said, “Aren’t the Pei Family sons all like that? If A-jue turns out to be like his dad and Second Uncle, then forget about marrying Xiao Wu in this lifetime!”

The Pei Group’s inheritance falling to Pei Jue was partly because Elder Pei’s two sons were not very competent.

Pei Jue’s father went globe-trotting after his wife left and didn’t care at all about family affairs.

Pei Jundu also lacked big ambitions. If there weren’t a business genius in this generation of the Pei Family, Elder Pei might still have to work!

Zuo Wanjun worriedly asked, “Xiao Wu, when are you coming home? Why do I hear explosions in the background?”

To avoid worrying Zuo Wanjun, the Shen Family hadn’t told her what Melta Prison was like.

Qingwu calmly replied, “They’re just blasting fish out of the ocean.”

Zuo Wanjun had just eased her nerves when she heard Boss Xiao’s booming laughter.

“Xiao Wu, we’ve caught them all. A bunch of fools still trying to break out of prison, see if I don’t blow them sky-high! Don’t worry, everyone you wanted is alive!”

Zuo Wanjun: “?”

She looked at the kids with confusion.

Blasting fish… Sounds like that?

The Shen Family kids quickly nodded.

“Ah, yes yes yes, that’s right, Mom, you must have heard it wrong.”

Zuo Wanjun relaxed, “Then come home soon, darling. Mommy misses you.”

“Okay.”

Qingwu put away her phone, the smile fading as she turned coldly to look at Boss Xiao.

“Could you keep your voice down?”

This communication style, based entirely on shouting, was about to burst her eardrums.

Boss Xiao awkwardly scratched the back of his head and fawned, “Alright, alright, everything you say goes, Uncle listens to you!”

“Where’s the person?”

Boss Xiao proudly answered, “Hung outside.”

Anyway, the granddaughter said she wanted living people, not that they needed all their parts intact!

Qingwu glanced helplessly at Boss Xiao and then turned to Pei Jue beside her.

“When you used to interact with him, did you never realize he has mental issues?”

Pei Jue shrugged helplessly at the fawning Boss Xiao.

He took Qingwu’s hand and led her away.

“I did, which is why Annie usually handles him. He’s old, so as his fiancée, let him have some slack.”

Every time Pei Jue spoke with Boss Xiao, he ended up with a headache.

So, he simply let Annie handle the communication. Just every time after talking to Boss Xiao, Annie had to go and treat her hearing loss…

Qingwu said meaningfully, “Being your assistant isn’t easy.”

Pei Jue chuckled, gazing adoringly at Qingwu.

“If my fiancée is sympathetic toward her, you could marry me sooner. However long our honeymoon lasts, that’s how long her vacation will be.”

Qingwu rejected coldly, “Pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Pei Jue watched her quick retreat, knowing his fiancée was just shy. He chuckled softly and hurried after her.

Outside Black Tower, a tall woman with neat short hair, dressed in camouflage, approached Boss Xiao.

“Boss Xiao, is Singer here? Why didn’t you tell me?”

Boss Xiao spit out his cigarette butt and spoke coldly,

“Get lost, Liu Yi, I’m not your secretary. Why should I tell you everything? Besides, Singer is here with his fiancée. Telling you wouldn’t make you send a wedding gift, would it?”

Liu Yi’s face instantly shifted from anticipation to shock!

When did Singer get a fiancée?

“No… Boss Xiao, are you joking with me?”

Boss Xiao shot her a cold glance, “What makes you think you’re worth my time, joking around with you?”

Qingwu’s voice carried over from behind them.

“I told you to lower your voice, no manners.”

Boss Xiao immediately changed his expression, letting out a silly laugh, “Right, right, I’ll lower my voice.”

Liu Yi’s eyes locked completely on Pei Jue!

She finally saw him again!

“Singer—”

Pei Jue wrapped an arm around Qingwu’s waist, leaning into her with a gentle voice.

“Upset, or just shy?”

“Neither, I just think you’re delusional.”

She never mentioned marriage, he simply imagined it.

Pei Jue tapped her cute nose, indulgently saying, “Alright, it must be my delusion. But, does my fiancée want to help me figure out what medicine would cure it?”

Boss Xiao shivered with goosebumps, grumbled angrily, “I think you should take rat poison and just die, can’t you see my granddaughter’s annoyed to death!”

But seeing Qingwu wasn’t pushing Pei Jue away, Boss Xiao knew that likely, only he was feeling annoyed!

Young people today… so shameless!

Watching Liu Yi’s eyes practically glued to Pei Jue, Boss Xiao knew her intentions weren’t good.

In the past, Boss Xiao might have enjoyed the drama.

But now, if anyone dared compete with his granddaughter for anything or anyone, he’d be the first to take them down!

Boss Xiao coldly eyed Liu Yi, “Did you see that? If you want to send a wedding gift, transfer it to my account, otherwise, just scram!”
