The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Qingwu’s Disguise Drops x2 Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Qingwu’s Disguise Drops x2 Su Yao heard the secretary’s words and a gleam appeared in his eyes.

“But she’s just an adopted daughter, what a pity.”

“Young Master, after all, an adopted daughter is still a daughter of the Shen Family, and she’s also a researcher. The Shen Family dotes on her very much.”

Su Yao touched his chin, calculation written all over his face.

“Two daughters, this daughter doesn’t seem to be of any value, but if that foolish one gets into trouble, won’t she become the only daughter?”

Su Yao wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Shen Family, and he needed to choose the most profitable marriage partner.

Only the sole daughter could receive the full dedication of the Shen Family’s resources, and he would be able to secure absolute victory in the Su Family’s heir race.

If the Shen Family’s eldest daughter didn’t work out, he could always choose another Shen daughter!

“Go and arrange it. Such a minor matter, you can handle it.”

“Yes.”

…

Outside the Su Family residence, Master Hai Xin waved at Qingwu.

“Qing lass, Yuheng and I will go make some preparations. See you tomorrow!”

Qingwu nodded, “Stay safe; the Su Family might target you.”

Master Hai Xin waved dismissively, completely unconcerned about the Su Family.

“Don’t worry. I’m more concerned they won’t target me. Just one Su Family, and they think they can cause me trouble? Hmph!”

Master Hai Xin had been gambling on stones for many years and had no idea how many times he had faced situations like this.

Elder Xuan chuckled, “Your life is getting less valuable. The Su Family is not to be feared; it’s their Black Dragon Gang that’s reckless.”

“I don’t care if they’re the Black Dragon or Black Snake, they’d all have to bow before me!”

Elder Xuan’s sharp gaze fell on Qingwu, meaningfully, “Be careful too, and… have Shaojia visit me when she’s free. I’ve always cherished her like old Mr. Zuo does!”

Qingwu understood Elder Xuan’s hint, “I’ll tell my sister.”

Watching Master Hai Xin and Elder Xuan leave together, Su Mi casually fiddled with her hair.

“Qingwu darling, knowing my big brother, you and your sister should also be careful.”

She couldn’t speak too directly, but she believed that Qingwu, being so smart, would understand!

“I will, thanks.”

“Leave a contact, please!”

It was clear that Su Mi’s days in the Su Family weren’t too pleasant either. Qingwu nodded and added her as a friend.

“Yay! Don’t worry; as long as I’m in the Su Family, Su Yurou won’t have a good time!”

Qingwu chuckled, “She has nothing to do with me.”

To Qingwu, Su Yurou was just a clown, jumping around without any need to pay attention.

“Even better that she’s irrelevant. If there was a connection, I’d have to think twice about dealing with her.”

“Do as you please.”

Su Mi simply didn’t like Su Yurou. Hearing Qingwu’s words, she felt relieved!

…

On the way back, Pei Jue was still in high spirits.

Qingwu glanced at him and said lightly, “It’s just a piece of jade, has President Pei never seen the world?”

Pei Jue chuckled softly, his radiant eyes resting on Qingwu.

“I was just assessing the relationship between my fiancée and Master Hai Xin.”

From Master Hai Xin’s attitude towards Qingwu, his decisive support for the Shen Family, the superior jade glass species material Qingwu casually picked, to Master Hai Xin’s apprentice, Chu Yuheng, treating Qingwu as his boss…

If he guessed right, this year’s Gambling Stone King and the little lass were closely connected… perhaps Qingwu was the Gambling Stone King!

He always knew his fiancée was a treasure, but discovering more of her secrets still shook him internally, and he couldn’t help but love her even more!

“When the Gambling Stone King was active in Myanmar North, my fiancée was also there, right?”

Qingwu replied calmly, “Today was just good luck.”

“Perhaps my fiancée isn’t aware, but I’ve never believed in luck. Luck pales in comparison to absolute strength, don’t you think?”

Pei Jue never believed in mere luck; in gambling stones, skill was required over luck!

Otherwise, why hasn’t anyone lucky replaced Master Hai Xin’s position?

Pei Jue’s gaze softened, “Those years in Myanmar North remain vivid in my memory, and it was during that time that the Gambling Stone King shone brilliantly.”

He happened to know much about the Gambling Stone King’s activities, which coincided precisely with High Tower’s area!

Qingwu glanced at him indifferently, “So what?”

Pei Jue stroked Qingwu’s hair, “So, Xiao Wu is truly amazing. As a reward, I’ll take you to the newest restaurant in the city center for dinner.”

Qingwu’s heart skipped a beat, her heartbeat momentarily out of order.

She glanced at Pei Jue and suddenly asked, “Pei Jue, are you this free?”

As the president of the Pei Clan, shouldn’t he be extremely busy? How did he find time to dine with her every time?

Pei Jue held Qingwu’s hand and answered honestly.

“Not free, still very busy! But if I don’t have time to think about and accompany you, all my busy time would be meaningless. Xiao Wu can’t deprive me of my rights.”

When he saw her, all his fatigue dissipated, the intrigues inside and outside the group, the turbulent currents within the Pei Family, all became insignificant!

After dinner, he sent Qingwu back to the Shen Mansion, watching her go upstairs before leaving.

After Qingwu got out of the car, the temperature inside dropped sharply. Pei Jue reached up to remove his glasses, his eyes filled with unbridled coldness.

“Annie, Xiao Wu used a sleeve arrow in Qingshan County; find out what happened.”

“Yes. By the way, Boss, should we inform the young lady about the last investigation?”

Pei Jue squinted slightly, his eyes slightly red, restrained but murderous aura leaking out.

“No need; if we tell Xiao Wu, she’d surely investigate herself. Too dangerous. Arrange a date for me and Xiao Wu.”

Annie couldn’t help but comment, “Boss, aren’t you worried the young lady will find you clingy?”

She felt that her boss seemed like a different person around the young lady.

It’s fortunate the young lady had a good temper and didn’t kick the boss out.

Thinking of Qingwu, Pei Jue’s dreary mood lifted a bit.

“No problem.” He closed his eyes and spoke as if talking to himself, “If Xiao Wu gets annoyed with me, I can disappear for a few days, and she won’t suspect a thing.”

There was a lonely and bittersweet tone in his voice. Annie was deeply moved but didn’t say more.

The boss went to such lengths for the young lady; even an outsider like her felt touched.

“Should we not tell the young lady?”

“No need to bother her with this.”

Pei Jue laughed lightly, shaking his head with no intention of saying more.

“Arrange someone to protect Shaojia, keep an eye on the Su Family. The Black Dragon Gang can disappear from Beijing!”

“Yes, I will arrange it.”

The Su Family’s actions today had already crossed Pei Jue’s line!

What they shouldn’t have done was to even entertain dirty thoughts about his fiancée and the only daughter of the Pei Family!

On the other side, Shen Shaojia received a message on her phone.

“Ms. Shen, don’t you want to know who orchestrated the attempt to harm you at the Vermilion Bird Laboratory last time?”
