The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Let Shen Shaojia Choose for Herself Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Let Shen Shaojia Choose for Herself Shen Shaojia’s mom, isn’t she Pei Jue’s second aunt?

Although there wasn’t a wedding back then and the second aunt had an accident, all these years Pei Jundu has only acknowledged that one wife!

What if… his second aunt is really still alive?

“Qingwu, are you saying that Fujisan was just making things up when he talked after drinking too much?”

“He wasn’t drunk, he was pretending. I remember Tarzan once said during a mission that no one in their family inherited the trait to get drunk.”

Tarzan slowly turned around with an awkward smile on his face.

When did that happen? He couldn’t remember at all!

How could Fool remember such a trivial thing?

Boss Xiao yelled angrily, “What’s that look? Keep looking at my granddaughter like that, and I’ll gouge out your eyes!”

Tarzan gritted his teeth, realizing that it was an offhand remark of his that betrayed his own brother.

He felt numb.

“…No, I was just admiring how Ms. Shen’s head is so beautifully shaped yet has room for so many memories!”

Qingwu lifted her chin defiantly and said, “From what Fujisan said, it seems like they used the same methods on my grandmother and your second aunt. Since my grandmother is still alive but has forgotten some things, I reasonably suspect Sister Shaojia’s mom is the same.”

Pei Jue’s cold gaze fell on Yashan.

Yashan’s lips curled up slightly, smiling innocently. Meeting Pei Jue’s gaze, which could kill, he shrugged, showing a helpless expression.

“I’ve said all I know. I have no idea about the rest, and Fujisan knows even less.”

Qingwu looked at Boss Xiao and removed the magnetic earrings from her ears, tossing them to him.

“They contain a copy of a file, including videos and photos left by Grandma. The password is Grandma’s birthday.”

Boss Xiao clumsily caught what Qingwu casually threw to him, fearing it might break!

Inside was everything left behind by Huazhen!

Boss Xiao looked at Qingwu and Pei Jue, his voice lowering a notch.

“So, are you leaving?”

“Yes, I’ve finished asking what I wanted. The rest can’t be found here.”

On Boss Xiao’s aged face, there was a hint of reluctance and melancholy. He had wandered all his life, the only thing he cherished was his sister who passed away early. Once his sister left, his heart died too.

Now, seeing his sister’s granddaughter, a spark of hope ignited within Boss Xiao!

“Will you come back… never mind, this isn’t a good place, just go, and don’t look back!”

He stood there, watching Qingwu and Pei Jue walk towards the helicopter, his eyes revealing a deep sense of reluctance.

The sound of the rotor blades whirred continuously, and Qingwu, feeling something, turned to look at Boss Xiao amidst the gusts.

“I’ll come back to settle the score with you! Old man, remember to stay alive!”

He had tried to plot against her multiple times, even inviting other organizations from the Dark Web to join forces to take her down. She remembered this.

No matter what Boss Xiao’s motives were, at least he had to remember the debt he owed her.

There was a hint of excitement in Boss Xiao’s eyes, his voice trembling.

“Hey! I’ll be waiting for you to give me hell!”

Watching the helicopter ascend into the sky and disappear over the scope of Melta Prison, Tarzan also expressed his sentiment.

“Yashan, brother, I suddenly feel that our organization will never outdo the High Tower and Deep Sea in this lifetime.”

Yashan was confused, “When did you think you could take them down? What did I do to give you such an illusion?”

Even if Qingwu and Pei Jue weren’t from the Shen and Pei families, the power of High Tower and Deep Sea surpassed Blue Whale, didn’t it?

Had Tarzan always thought he could replace them?!

Boss Xiao wiped the tears from his cheeks, happily holding the item Qingwu had given him, preparing to go inside to take a good look. As he passed by the Tarzan brothers, he kicked Tarzan into the pool.

“Boss Xiao, do you have a problem? Why’d you kick me down here!”

“For being disrespectful to my granddaughter, stay in there for a soak! If it weren’t for this guy’s head being wrapped in bandages, you’d both be in there cooling off!”

Boss Xiao huffed coldly and turned to leave.

…

Leisure Inn Phoenix Building, Shen Mansion.

The moment Qingwu and Pei Jue entered, they saw people filling the entire living room, neatly seated.

The whole Shen family, Elder Pei, and Elder Zuo Jing’an were present, even Tu Lan, who should have been conducting experiments, had specially requested to come home!

This large group was so deathly silent that the ticking of the clock could be clearly heard in the room.

Qingwu deduced that everyone had gathered for matters concerning Shen Shaojia!

Elder Shen waved at Qingwu, “Back already? You worked hard. That Xiao guy didn’t give you any trouble, did he? Come, sit beside Grandpa. We’ve been waiting for you, have you eaten?”

“Everything’s fine, and yes, I’ve eaten.”

They had casually had something on the way home, and Qingwu wasn’t expecting to see so many people the moment she walked in.

“A-Jue, you worked hard too, taking care of Qingwu along the way. Go to your grandpa, before he gets infuriated. If you’re to angry with him, just carry him away and bury him wherever.”

Elder Pei didn’t retort Elder Shen’s sarcastic remarks for the first time.

He gripped his cane with both hands, unable to suppress the trembling, his gaze never straying from Shen Shaojia.

Obediently, Qingwu sat down beside Elder Shen, with Shen Shaojia on her right.

Shen Shaojia leaned in quietly, whispering, “Don’t be afraid, they’ll leave once we’re done talking.”

Qingwu pacifyingly scratched Shen Shaojia’s palm.

With such a setup, shouldn’t Shen Shaojia be the one to fear?

Elder Shen glanced briefly at the silent Elder Pei.

“Now that what’s happened has happened, I won’t say much more. Whatever choice Shaojia makes now, we’ll all follow her lead.”

Tu Lan snorted, “Pei Jundu didn’t even show his face for such a big issue, does Shaojia have to choose a side?”

Pei Jue glanced at Elder Pei, feeling that Pei Jundu was indeed being unreasonable.

“Where’s Second Uncle? I’ll contact him.”

Elder Pei responded solemnly, “No need, he’s gone to request for Shaojia to be transferred back to Beijing’s research institute, so at least he did something decent.”

Zuo Jing’an looked at Qingwu, smiling, “Qingwu, did you discover anything else on this trip?”

Qingwu nodded, “What happened to Grandma back then is still unclear, but Pei Jue and I both believe that Sister Shaojia’s mother might still be alive. Elder Pei, who is Sister Shaojia’s mother, after all?”

Only the Pei family would know who was engaged with Pei Jundu back then.

Elder Pei suddenly stood up!

“Qingwu, you, you mean… she’s still alive? Then why hasn’t she sought out Jundu or Shaojia?”

How could a mother be so heartless?

Qingwu shook her head, calmly saying, “If she’s still alive, it would likely be because, like my grandma, she lost her memories due to certain reasons.”

Elder Pei’s lips trembled violently, unable to utter a word for quite some time.

“What a sin… it’s all a sin! That child, if she’s alive but has forgotten everything, forgotten Jundu and Shaojia, then Shaojia, this child…”

This child was terribly pitiful, his heart felt like it was shattering!

He left his words unspoken, but his gaze was fixed intently on Shen Shaojia, tears streaming down his face!
