The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Third Brother Suspects Qingwu’s Small Vest Chapter 258: Chapter 258 Third Brother Suspects Qingwu’s Small Vest Qingwu didn’t know what she was feeling!

Feelings seemed distant to her, and she had never really experienced them.

When facing Pei Jue, that uncontrollable quickening of her heartbeat, was it love?

If not, then what was it?

Pei Jue looked earnestly at the Qingwu in front of him and took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiping the bloodstains off Qingwu’s hands.

“Is your third brother okay?”

“No problem, he just lost consciousness. Once he wakes up, we’ll ask what happened.”

Qingwu was speaking when she noticed Pei Jue suddenly bring her hand closer to him and sniff it!

“It’s chicken and duck blood, it’s fine.”

Watching the man carefully clean each of her fingers before casually wiping the blood off his own hands, Qingwu felt a warmth in her heart…

“Thank you.”

“If you really want to thank me, can I hug you?”

Pei Jue’s eyes held a smile, and his tall figure cast a black shadow that completely enveloped her delicate frame, as if holding her in his arms.

Qingwu met Pei Jue’s gaze, and once again her heart started to beat faster.

“You can…”

Just as joy flashed in Pei Jue’s eyes and he reached out but hadn’t yet touched Qingwu’s shoulder, Shen Shushan’s shout came from inside the room.

“Xiaowu! Are you outside?”

Qingwu pushed Pei Jue aside and ran into the room, “Third Brother, I’m here.”

Pei Jue looked at his empty hand, feeling as though it still held Qingwu’s essence.

He had almost hugged her just now… Pei Jue clenched his fist with a tinge of dissatisfaction, then chuckled bitterly and followed Qingwu inside.

Shen Shushan rubbed his head, looking at Qingwu who squatted down in front of him.

“Xiaowu, why are you here?”

“Third Brother, let’s not talk about that. What exactly happened with you and Yuheng? How did you end up here? You’ve been out of touch with the crew for almost three days.”

Shen Shushan exclaimed, “That long? No wonder you were alarmed! It’s all Third Brother’s fault!”

Qingwu shook her head, helping Shen Shushan to stand.

Chu Yuheng, who was beside them, also slowly woke up. After taking a glance at Qingwu and Lian Zhen, who hurried over, he tilted his head back and fell asleep again.

The crew arrived and were terrified at the scene before them, hastily checking the two’s conditions, then took them back to the small mountain village.

Shen Shushan sat in Old Ma’s courtyard, eating several bowls of noodles before coming to his senses. He wiped his mouth and began recalling the events of a few days prior.

That night, Shen Shushan had just prepared to lie down.

Every time he lay in Qingwu’s small room, he felt a sense of sadness from the heart.

This room, only the size of Shen Shushan’s bathroom back at the Shen Mansion, was barely large enough to accommodate Shen Shushan’s tall figure.

The old wardrobe was bulky and immense, and the bed was crafted by the village’s old carpenter, made of slightly damp wood.

His younger sister and grandmother had lived in such a place for so many years!

Suddenly curious, Shen Shushan wanted to see what was in the room. After getting Qingwu’s permission through a message, he got up immediately.

Everything from Qingwu’s childhood was well preserved by Mrs. Lin in boxes.

Every test paper from her childhood scored full marks, and when he opened a small wooden box, it contained drawings done by Qingwu as a child.

Shen Shushan was somewhat surprised, feeling the drawings seemed familiar. It was as if this style was something he had seen before somewhere…

Without thinking much, Shen Shushan walked to the wardrobe, wanting to see what lay inside.

Upon opening, he saw Mrs. Qian and Mr. Qian hidden within!

Shen Shushan: “…”

What kind of performance art was this?

Suddenly, a tile from the balcony fell, and several long-waiting private fans climbed up the Osmanthus Tree and peered inside, utterly shocked by the people present!

Next door, came a sharp scream from Chu Yuheng!

“What the hell! Auntie will beat you to death!”

As she was preparing to rest, Qian Duo had attempted to sneak onto her bed with ill intentions in the middle of the night!

Qian Duo was immediately beaten so badly by Chu Yuheng that even his own mother couldn’t recognize him.

Shen Shushan shrugged, “Then we chased them all the way to the Qian Family’s old house. Somehow, we just passed out, and when we opened our eyes, we saw Xiaowu.”

After having a bowl of noodles and a bowl of porridge, Chu Yuheng let out a burp.

“I’m starving! Boss, if you hadn’t come, we might have starved to death there. I wonder, in that fine village, where the ether came from.”

Qingwu furrowed her brows slightly, “Given the security level of the crew, neither the Qian Family nor private fans should have had a chance to get close to your place of residence.”

Both Shen Shushan and Chu Yuheng inhaled a high concentration of ether.

Even in Beijing, acquiring high concentrations of ether isn’t easy, let alone in such a remote village.

These occurrences couldn’t be mere coincidences; someone definitely targeted Shen Shushan and Chu Yuheng deliberately!

Qingwu glanced at Qian Duo lying on the ground, “Who hit him?”

Chu Yuheng whistled, “Who knows, we were all unconscious. When we woke up, this guy was like this!”

One could tell it was Chu Yuheng who did it, but there was no evidence. She didn’t want to visit the police station for no reason!

The police took away the unconscious members of the Qian Family, and the private fans who broke in had long disappeared.

Qingwu looked sternly at Shen Shushan.

“Third Brother, you really need to prosecute those people, you can’t just indulge them.”

Shen Shushan patted Qingwu’s hair, gently saying, “I’m sorry, Xiaowu, for making you worry about Third Brother.”

With the rampant private fans, Shen Jishi had insisted many times on not being lenient.

“One year, when some fans were chasing my car, they had an accident. Their family blamed me.”

“Later, somehow, they found out, and someone sent me a message asking what if my sister were also someone’s fan?”

Shen Shushan smiled awkwardly.

“I know, there’s no such possibility; my sister would never become someone’s private fan, but…”

But he couldn’t help but consider that possibility!

“I just thought maybe if I treated them kindly, others would treat my sister kindly.”

Chu Yuheng sneered, “I say, Shen Brother, you’re not young anymore, and yet still so naive? Ignoring whether the boss would become someone’s private fan, with your indecisive nature, you’ll suffer sooner or later.”

Chu Yuheng had realized this when Shen Shushan gave Su Yurou a chance to audition and to play a supporting role.

Even knowing Su Yurou was no good, Shen Shushan still wanted to give her a chance, much like those private fans.

Her boss’s third brother was probably the kindest and softest hearted in the entire Shen Family!

In the entertainment industry, such a personality wasn’t exactly an advantage!

Wasn’t this incident caused by Shen Shushan’s soft heart?

Shen Shushan raised an eyebrow in surprise, “Boss? Yuheng, did you know Qingwu before?”
