The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Pei Jue, Are You Shameless? Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Pei Jue, Are You Shameless? His voice carried a deep magnetic quality, blending with the sound of the instrument.

The classical guitar’s melody was elegant and low, sounding even more like an English gentleman softly reciting poetry in Pei Jue’s hands.

The piece was of moderate length; it was evident that Pei Jue rarely played instruments, as his technique was somewhat unrefined.

His fingers were long and smooth, with distinct knuckles, and the sunlight from outside the office shone on him, casting a golden glow.

As the melody concluded, Qingwu’s heart beat alongside the guitar strings…

“The first time playing, I’ll play something better for my fiancée in the future if given the chance.”

Qingwu withdrew her gaze, lowering her eyes to mask her expression.

“Don’t play again until your hand recovers, and… your left hand seems quite dexterous too.”

If she remembered correctly, when he wrote in her office with her pen earlier, he had used his left hand.

A few words had been added to the piano store’s financial report, all bugs that Pei Jue had circled for her.

How did he have the nerve this morning to let her feed him at that level of proficiency?

She realized then why Elder Pei’s gaze was so gratified when he looked at them…

Thinking of this made Qingwu feel a bit embarrassed.

She looked coldly at Pei Jue, “Are you a three-year-old child?”

When she was three, she didn’t need anyone to feed her, let alone play such inexplicable little tricks.

Pei Jue put down the guitar beside him and leaned in to look at Qingwu, the distance close enough for their breaths to mingle.

“If I’m three, can I kiss you, Sister Qingwu?”

Qingwu immediately stood up, her hand clenched into a fist, “Shameless! Pei Jue, do you have no sense of shame?”

If the employees of Pei Clan saw their aloof CEO acting like a clingy child and saying such things, they wouldn’t know if their jaws would drop to the floor!

Watching Qingwu stride out of the office, slamming the door with a heavy thud, Pei Jue’s lips curled into a slightly delighted smile.

He murmured softly, “I forgot to tell you, besides guitar, I also learned in school how to pursue the girl I like, without caring about face.”

Qingwu strode out of the office, calming herself as she stood in front of the piano store’s air conditioning, letting the cold air wash over her face.

Was Pei Jue’s skin really that thick?

She couldn’t fathom how he could say those words so nonchalantly!

Qingwu’s mind was a whirlwind, and at that moment, her phone began to ring.

Chu Yuheng’s voice came through the call, “Boss, I need help from the underworld. I think I’m in big trouble.”

“What happened?”

“Your third brother has been particularly attentive to me these past two days. I’m worried he has ulterior motives, but I can’t recall saying anything that would make him misunderstand!”

To prevent any misunderstandings from her male actors, Chu Yuheng even said she was going to “boil herself” when she went to shower, just to maintain distance and professional boundaries.

Qingwu rubbed her brow.

“You’re overthinking. My third brother told me he noticed we get along well, so he’s looking out for you a bit. You’re better suited for being a monkey in a zoo, not my third brother’s type.”

“Then I’m relieved. I was really worried about becoming a heartbreaker; it’s mainly your third brother’s gaze that scares me.”

“He’s nearsighted, seeing dogs with affection.”

Chu Yuheng was silent for a moment, “Lin Xiao, you… Boss, you’re hitting new heights in insults! By the way, a female actor on our set said she recently bought a big piece of ‘Warm Jade.’ Didn’t we stop selling those?”

“Defective, look into who collected those defective pieces we discarded.”

Although Beidou Star controlled the largest Warm Jade supply and sales channels, it only dealt with good quality Warm Jade, discarding anything slightly subpar.

The Warm Jade on the Ancient Zither earlier had been of quite low quality.

“There are only so few families capable of buying Warm Jade, I’ll investigate immediately.”

Putting away her phone, the new manager at the piano store, Mi Xian, approached Qingwu respectfully, “President Shen, there’s a woman outside who wishes to meet with you. Please see if you know her.”

Qingwu’s gaze passed over the rows of pianos to rest on a familiar silhouette standing at the door.

“I don’t know her; I won’t see her.”

Who else could that person at the door be but Lu Mingchuan’s mother, Mrs. Lu?

Qingwu wasn’t surprised Mrs. Lu found her; although Beijing was vast, it wasn’t impossible to locate her with some intent.

Mi Xian went to the door and politely said, “I’m sorry, madam, our President Shen says she doesn’t know you.”

President Shen?

Mrs. Lu’s eyes gleamed with shrewdness.

This piano store was the largest in Beijing. If Qingwu was truly the owner of such a store, then she wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothes.

The Lu Family had gone bankrupt recently, with all its businesses inexplicably constrained, leading Mrs. Lu to divorce Lu Weizhong.

After all, her maternal family still had some wealth, sparing her from being homeless with garbage like Lu Weizhong.

Unexpectedly, she managed to see Qingwu!

“So can I come in to buy something?”

“Of course, what kind of piano would you like to buy? I’ll show you around.”

Mrs. Lu’s gaze swept over the pianos in front of her and the adjacent price tags, feeling utterly shocked by the string of zeros after the prices.

Even the cheapest piano here cost twenty thousand?

How did Qingwu acquire this piano store?

“Is this piano store owned solely by your President Shen?”

“Yes, she also solely owns the gallery next door and the piano and gallery across the street.”

So, Qingwu was quite wealthy now?

Mrs. Lu was extremely delighted, quickly going outside to call Lu Mingchuan…

“Mingchuan, take your mother’s advice. Mother cannot do you harm. Go investigate that girl, Qingwu, and stop thinking about that little wench Lin Xuecheng, who’s soon heading to prison.”

“Got it, I have to go now.”

Lu Mingchuan didn’t shy away from anyone around him when he took the call, and Lin Xuecheng’s face went pale as she lay in front of him!

“Mingchuan, what does your mother mean? I’m carrying your child; you can’t ignore me!”

She didn’t even know why she appeared at the scene of Lin Jingsheng’s car accident, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the bloody and mangled Lin Jingsheng, terrifying her to the point of almost fainting!

If she hadn’t been discovered pregnant at that time, she might have been in prison right now.

Lu Mingchuan was somewhat impatient, “Chengcheng, it’s not sure if the child is mine; who knows if you have other partners?”

Lin Xuecheng immediately sat up, looking incredulously at Lu Mingchuan before her.

“What do you mean? How could you doubt me? Of course, the child is yours!”

“I have to go to the office. Take care of yourself.”

Lu Mingchuan got up to leave, not giving Lin Xuecheng a chance to speak further.

Lin Xuecheng clutched her stomach, resentfully watching Lu Mingchuan depart.

The Lu Family had gone bankrupt, yet he could still have a company to go to? He must be seeking Qingwu!

However, she had to keep the baby inside her, or else she would have to return to prison…
