The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Qingwu and Pei Jue Meet for the First Time Chapter 214: Chapter 214 Qingwu and Pei Jue Meet for the First Time They met for the first time.

Pei Jue smiled and lifted his head to meet Qingwu’s cool gaze, “Talk on the way?”

His eyes were full of aggression, and Qingwu turned her head slightly, feeling a bit uneasy.

“You don’t care about your health, so there’s nothing I can do.”

He was agreeing to let him tag along to pick someone up!

Tian Yue, returning from vacation, parked the car at the entrance of Leisure Inn, watching their boss and the Singer get in together, her eyes almost popped out!

Wasn’t the Singer at the border just a couple of days ago, and now he’s back?

And he kept holding their boss’s hand, the most important thing was the boss didn’t shake it off or chop it off!

Did she miss some important plot while she was out of Beijing during this time?

“Let’s go, pick up the person.”

Shi Yujiang, the master of the Ancient Zither, arrived in Beijing today in a confidential schedule.

With someone of Master Shi Yujiang’s status, if his schedule was made public, it would cause quite a stir in the circle!

“Sure thing, boss. I heard someone in Beijing has been smuggling Warm Jade recently, and the price is outrageous.”

“That stuff isn’t worth much.”

Although it’s Warm Jade, it’s produced from the snow-capped peaks, and more importantly, it has high medicinal value, the Shen Family had bought a large piece for Elder Shen’s bedroom at a high price.

To outsiders, it’s a coveted item, but to people from Beidou Star, it’s just a useless decoration!

The world’s largest supplier of Warm Jade is Beidou Star!

Tian Yue shrugged, “Yeah, someone said that stuff can cure cancer, so it’s been hyped up again recently, and there are people selling fakes.”

All the production of Warm Jade was controlled by Beidou Star—Qingwu didn’t even know when so much had been sold in Beijing.

Most were probably fakes, or substandard goods being passed off as authentic.

Conning foolish rich folks in Beijing was too easy.

Qingwu glanced at the financial report received on her phone; the Piano Store’s business had improved significantly lately, indicating that many had their eyes on Warm Jade, and they even wanted to use the jade normally reserved for Ancient Zither accessories.

It seemed that after picking up the person, she needed to find time to visit the Piano Store, or things might spiral out of control again.

On the way to the airport, Pei Jue held Qingwu’s hand, a smile lingering on his lips.

Warm Jade was worthless in her mouth, so it seemed Beidou Star’s business was even bigger than he had imagined.

If it continued like this, without putting in some effort, he’d be outdone by the little girl!

“We first met in Myanmar North.”

“I wonder if you remember, there was a gang fight among the drug lords in Myanmar North, and I got caught up in it.”

Perhaps he was still a bit sick, but Pei Jue’s voice sounded even more magnetic than usual, low and resonant in the car.

“At that time, I was investigating matters concerning my mother, delving deep into Myanmar North. Some factions in the Pei Family had business there.”

“They set a trap to kill me, and the people I brought were all wiped out—you’re the one who saved me.”

That was likely the lowest point in Pei Jue’s life!

He was trapped in the shadow of watching his mother leave while he couldn’t do anything, wanting to rely on his own strength to investigate and get revenge for his mother.

When he thought he would soon join his mother, she arrived from the sky to rescue him!

Pei Jue gripped Qingwu’s hand, lost in memory.

“Little Wu, you might find it impossible to imagine—seeing my mother murdered before my eyes—I didn’t dare make a sound, she didn’t even look at me before she left.”

“Every night I dream of that scene, her bloodied and collapsed form.”

He chuckled softly, “Later, you rescued me.”

It began with the shot she fired, from the moment Qingwu reached out to him, he never had that nightmare again!

Instead, he dreamt of those bright eyes that saved him from hell.

Pei Jue brought Qingwu’s hand to his lips, gently rubbing it.

“My fiancée is my redemption.”

Redemption?

The word felt too scorching, even causing her palm to heat up where Pei Jue’s lips touched it.

“The Pei Family investigated?”

“Of course, they should know many things they can’t tell me. They’ve investigated for a long time, but without conclusion, finally telling me to stop looking.”

It didn’t matter, he’d investigate everything himself!

Elder Pei was amazed at Pei Jue’s maneuvering and ambition after returning from the border; even a colossal consortium had to bow before him!

Pei Jue slightly turned his head, his gaze falling on Qingwu, his pupils filled with fervent light.

“There are many places I haven’t done well. Would my fiancée give me a chance to correct them?”

He wasn’t good at dealing with girls, relying on mere instinct to approach her!

He once lost the most important person and didn’t want to lose a second time.

Qingwu’s heart missed a beat, but she replied nonchalantly, “Got it.”

The smile on Pei Jue’s face grew softer and more tender.

Spectator Tian Yue drove, suppressing her auntly smile, almost shoving a fist into her mouth!

She had thought it was their boss deceiving the Singer and planning to take down the Deep Sea along the way—turns out it was the Singer in pursuit!

Yet she also understood; winning over someone from Beidou Star wasn’t going to be easy.

Their boss had endured too much darkness, hiding her heart long ago… Making her willing to share her sentiments was considerably difficult!

…

Hospital.

Shen Shaojia pushed Elder Xuan into the VIP ward, where Xuan Jing, half-reclined in bed, looked haggard but carried a sense of refined grace amidst his illness.

“Grandpa, you’re here.”

“It’s good that you’re awake, Professor Chen said you’re recovering well, cooperating with the doctor’s treatment, you should be able to go home in a while.”

Xuan Jing’s gaze fell on Shen Shaojia, who followed behind Elder Xuan, “And who is this?”

Elder Xuan didn’t keep it hidden, giving a brief explanation of Shen Shaojia’s situation.

“From now on, Shaojia will be your sister, but don’t tell your aunt for now, she just had another episode and was hospitalized yesterday.”

Xuan Lengyue’s body couldn’t withstand any shocks; if informed about Shen Shaojia’s identity, Elder Xuan feared she wouldn’t handle it well!

Xuan Jing showed some surprise in his stare toward Shen Shaojia, quickly accepting the current situation.

“Sister Shaojia, I’m Xuan Jing, pleased to become part of your family.”

Xuan Jing suppressed his inner shock; his gaze flickered.

“I remember last time, Sister Shaojia had another young lady with her, was she from the Shen Family? Why isn’t she here today?”

Shen Shaojia nodded, “Yes! It was my sister, Qingwu, she has a marriage contract with President Pei, might be on a date with him today?”

Fearing being caught and forced into a blind date by Zuo Wanjun, she had hurriedly fled her home.

Xuan Jing’s smile faded.

President Pei? Wasn’t that the CEO of Pei Group, Pei Jue?

Xuan Jing muttered, “Engagements in wealthy families are just for show…”

…

Airport elevated road.

Tian Yue glanced at the rearview mirror, pouting, “Boss, we’re being followed!”
