The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Countdown to the Su Family’s Bankruptcy! Chapter 198: Chapter 198 Countdown to the Su Family’s Bankruptcy! Qingwu met his intense gaze, momentarily feeling that the gemstone ring in her hand was somewhat scorching, making her palm tingle.

“I can’t accept it. You should take it back.”

“If you don’t want to accept it, everything I did today would be worthless.”

Pei Jue struggled to raise his hand to gently tousle Qingwu’s hair.

“Even if you don’t like me, please don’t refuse, okay?”

Perhaps due to the fatigue from excessive blood loss, there was a hint of pleading and vulnerability in Pei Jue’s eyes that made Qingwu’s heart soften.

She looked at the ring in her palm, the gemstones carved into a rose shape shone brightly, each gem sparkled enough to prove how much the previous owner treasured it.

Pei Jue looked at Qingwu in front of him and whispered, “Please accept it, okay?”

Qingwu was so overwhelmed by his gaze that she quickly looked away.

“Alright, I’ll accept it.”

Seeing Pei Jue’s joyful eyes, Qingwu added, “It’s not that I don’t like you, maybe I don’t quite like you either, but there’s no need to test me.”

She wasn’t sure how she felt about Pei Jue. Saying she liked him might not be intense enough, but she definitely didn’t dislike him.

“I’m not testing you; it’s that I lack confidence.”

Qingwu didn’t speak further. She carefully applied medicine to Pei Jue’s wounds and handed him a new shirt. It was Ye Yi’s latest design, not yet embroidered or labeled, appearing just like an ordinary shirt.

He shouldn’t be able to tell it was Ye Yi’s work.

Pei Jue looked at the shirt on him. The style of this shirt, how was it so similar to the ones in his wardrobe?

High-end brands of clothing have their own fixed styles, each brand with its own distinct flavor.

Qingwu coughed slightly, speaking seriously, “Take off your pants.”

“You have injuries on your legs, abrasions from the explosion. Do you want to take them off yourself, or should I help you?”

Pei Jue looked at the serious Qingwu in front of him and suddenly let out a low laugh.

“I’ll do it myself. I used to apply medicine on my own when I was injured, but I’ll trouble my fiancée to prepare the medicine for me.”

He looked at Qingwu with an ambiguous expression, “I know my fiancée is a doctor, you make no distinctions between genders, but I selfishly hope you’ll say such things in different circumstances, like in your bedroom. That would make me very happy.”

Qingwu’s ears quietly turned red, yet her face showed no extra expression. She only glanced at him lightly.

Still able to say such things, he seemed quite spirited.

Qingwu handed the medicine she was holding to Pei Jue.

“Is the mother of Miss Su second and your mother friends?”

“They were friends in the early years, but after Miss Su second was born, Mrs. Su passed away.”

Qingwu leaned slightly against the wall, frowning, “Did you know Miss Su second earlier?”

“No, her mother passed away early, and my mother also passed away early, but I had met her mother. So, when she needed the Pei Family to be a shield to find Grandpa, Grandpa also helped her.”

Elder Pei liked Su Mi, partly because Su Mi’s personality was likable, and partly because Su Mi’s mother and the second daughter-in-law of the Pei Family were friends, so Elder Pei also regarded her as his own granddaughter.

Pei Jue looked up at Qingwu, “Fiancée, are you staying to watch me apply the medicine?”

Seeing him about to unbuckle his belt, Qingwu turned abruptly and left in large strides.

Pei Jue let out a low laugh, extremely pleased.

…

Su Family.

Su Yao ran to Elder Su with a pile of things in his arms, his face filled with panic.

“Grandpa, all our businesses have been sanctioned! The deals we had agreed upon suddenly fell through. They said they won’t cooperate with us anymore!”

Elder Su’s gaze was on the window, the moonlight gradually spreading, leaving the Su Family estate in silence.

He picked up his teacup, gently blowing away the leaves floating on top, speaking in a calm voice.

“Why panic? Haven’t things like this happened before? Is it worth getting so anxious?”

The secretary rushed in from outside, panting heavily, “Elder, the Black Dragon Gang… they’ve been completely wiped out! Those who survived were taken by the cops! Our businesses have been restricted too, and your cards have been frozen!”

Elder Su’s teacup fell onto the carpet!

“What did you say? Who did this? I’d like to see who dares!”

“The gang members planned to target Hai Xin today, but he unexpectedly… he unexpectedly brought the cops directly to several Black Dragon Gang strongholds, causing us heavy losses.”

“The Shen Family, Pei Jue, and Beidou Finance have all sanctioned our group’s industries… We’re going bankrupt!”

Elder Su looked at the secretary in disbelief.

“Has the Pei Family and the Shen Family gone mad?! And Beidou Finance, a small company that just got on its feet, dares to sanction me!”

The secretary trembled, “It was… it was the Black Dragon Gang’s people who hired the Xisen Mercenary Group for help. They, they teamed up to attack President Pei…”

Elder Su’s eyes were wide with shock!

Were these people insane?

They actually dared to attack Pei Jue?!

If it succeeded, it would mean one less strong adversary for the Su Family, but if it failed, it would spell disaster for the Su Family!

Elder Su slumped on the ground, cold sweat covering his face.

“Bring me the phone, I need to make a call…”

The moment the call was connected, Elder Su hurriedly spoke, “Brother, you have to save me! The Su Family was supported by you, Brother; would you heartlessly watch us go bankrupt?”

Elder Xuan leisurely played chess, glancing at the master across from him, Hai Xin.

“Your move.”

“Oh, Old Su, what were you saying? The Su Family’s going bankrupt? It’s okay, your family’s assets are few, let it go bankrupt, it doesn’t matter. Hey, Old Hai, no regrets about the chess game, huh?”

Elder Su gritted his teeth, “Brother, I know I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on and never dare to oppose the Xuan Family again. I’m begging you, Brother, save the Su Family. All future Su Family members will follow your orders!”

“Look at you, in your old age, you love to joke around. When did the Su Family have the capability to oppose the Xuan Family? Old Su, let me enlighten you as you face your end.”

Elder Xuan looked at the chess piece in his hand and said blandly, “Your grandson Su Yao intended to harm my only granddaughter; he needs to be ready for the consequences.”

He cheerfully hung up the phone and continued the chess game.

Elder Su was baffled, then received a recording of Su Yao sowing discord between Shen Shaojia and Qingwu!

“You rebellious son! The Su Family reached this point because of you! But who is Elder Xuan’s only granddaughter… who is he referring to?”

Elder Su couldn’t figure it out and had no time to.

Su Yao looked panicked, “Grandpa, I… I just wanted to have a meal with Ms. Shen!”

Elder Su slapped him!

“Get out! Good-for-nothing! If the Su Family goes bankrupt tonight, you can go sleep under a bridge!”

At the doorway of the study, Su Mi leaned against the door, chewing gum and blowing a bubble that popped with a soft sound.

“Going bankrupt? Happening quicker than I thought…”
