Chapter 263 - 263 263 Being a Third Party Who Cannot Be
Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Being a Third Party Who Cannot Be Exposed? Chapter 263: Chapter 263: Being a Third Party Who Cannot Be Exposed? Shen Boyi brought Shen Shaojia back from the lab the same day he met with Pei Jundu.
The two talked in the Changrong Group conference room for a long time, all about Shen Shaojia.
Shen Boyi hoped Pei Jundu could face Shen Shaojia’s issues head-on.
“I asked President Pei here just for Shaojia.”
“Shaojia is a child of the Shen Family, but she is also a child of the Pei Family. If President Pei cannot treat her well, just let us know, and our Shen Family can afford to raise this daughter.”
Pei Jundu only learned from Shen Boyi about what happened to Shen Shaojia at the lab!
He originally thought that since they were not in the same lab, Shen Shaojia could focus solely on her research. He didn’t expect her to still be bothered by those people!
“I will thoroughly investigate this matter and won’t let Shaojia suffer any grievances. As for other matters… I want to see Shaojia before making any decisions.”
In the case of Shen Shaojia, he had no decision-making power!
Shen Boyi agreed and also chatted with Pei Jundu about Shen Shaojia’s childhood, which left Pei Jundu feeling both bittersweet and relieved.
Finally, Shen Boyi went to another meeting room for a meeting, and Pei Jundu sat there alone with his hands over his face, his shoulders slightly shaking…
Receiving Pei Jundu’s call, Shen Shaojia was completely confused!
She tugged at the plush toy in her hand, feeling very conflicted.
Qingwu kindly said, “Sister, do you want to see him? If you don’t, that’s okay. If you do, then go.”
Shen Shaojia suddenly sat up from the bed like a carp!
“Why don’t you and President Pei come with me!”
Qingwu raised an eyebrow; she had anticipated accompanying Shen Shaojia, but why call Pei Jue too?
“Think about it, you’re on my side, and President Pei is on the Pei Family’s side. One representative from each side, very appropriate!”
Besides, calling Qingwu was to bolster her courage, but what if her simple and kind sister got swayed by Pei Jundu?
…It was indeed very appropriate, using a family-oriented representative method. Qingwu had never seen such a thing.
Shen Shaojia thought it through thoroughly and patted Qingwu on the shoulder.
“Let’s see who President Pei will choose between you and Pei Family. If he chooses you, it means he’s heartless. If he doesn’t, then this man isn’t worth having!”
This logic was really simple and crude!
Qingwu twitched her eyes and raised an eyebrow, saying, “Sister, are you planning to have a life-and-death duel with Pei Jundu?”
It had already reached the point of choosing one or the other. Didn’t she need to call for backup?
“No, no, the most important thing right now…”
Shen Shaojia pulled the quilt over her face.
“Is to sleep! No matter how big the problem is, deal with it tomorrow. Xiaowu, remember to call President Pei to come with us; in case I speak too harshly and Pei Jundu wants to hit me, President Pei should step in to help, or I won’t marry my sister to him.”
Qingwu helplessly held her forehead.
Getting Pei Jue to act as muscle was Shen Shaojia’s real purpose, wasn’t it?
She really thought it through!
The next morning, Shen Shaojia went downstairs with panda eyes, and the Shen Family was already having breakfast.
Elder Shen glanced at her and asked in confusion, “Shaojia, did you stay up late gaming last night?”
Shen Shaojia yawned and sat in her seat.
“No, Pei Jundu said he wanted to meet me, and I couldn’t sleep all night.”
Elder Pei paused in spreading spicy sauce on a bun, “You plan to see him? It’s good to meet and talk about anything; Grandpa will always support you.”
Since returning from the Vermilion Bird Laboratory, Pei Jundu hadn’t met with Shen Shaojia.
After Elder Pei acknowledged Shen Shaojia, he quietly transferred his assets and shares under his name to Shen Shaojia, otherwise staying in the lab for research.
Elder Pei was still worried that Shen Shaojia might be unhappy after seeing Pei Jundu.
Shen Shaojia met Elder Pei’s worried gaze and reassured, “It’s okay, Grandpa. I’ll have Xiaowu and President Pei come with me!”
“Good, good. If Ajue’s second uncle can’t overpower him, and you find him disagreeable, just let Ajue beat him! If it turns ugly, consider it grandpa’s fault! And if Ajue doesn’t help you, you come back and tell Grandpa; Grandpa will beat them both up together!”
Shen Shaojia agreed with a sweet smile!
Elder Shen snorted coldly.
“Just look at your frail body, already half a foot in the grave. Who do you think you can beat? Don’t hurt yourself and throw your back out; that would be amusing.”
The two elders started bickering again, and the rest of the Shen Family was used to it.
Qingwu looked at Shen Boyi, who had just come downstairs, still in his pajamas with dark circles under his eyes particularly noticeable.
“Good morning, big brother. Didn’t sleep well?”
“Thank you, Xiaowu, for your concern. Big brother just stayed up late reviewing financial reports and slept late.”
Shen Jishi wore a flamboyant floral shirt, unbuttoned at several spots, revealing his fair collarbones and sexy Adam’s apple.
Shen Boyi just looked and found it an eyesore.
“Fourth brother, you’re still a lawyer; dress more appropriately.”
“Big brother, I’m not going to court today—just meeting a client to discuss a case. It doesn’t matter what I wear.”
Apart from needed court appearances, Shen Jishi typically wore flashy outfits that even his mother would be embarrassed by.
His closet was filled with vibrant floral shirts.
Shen Jishi tugged at his collar, deliberately showing off the embroidery Qingwu had handcrafted for him, which amused Qingwu.
Although the clothing embroidered by Ye Yi was expensive, it shouldn’t be so treasured by a renowned lawyer like Shen Jishi.
It’s just that her brothers were so doting toward her!
Shen Jishi rested his chin in his hand and looked at Shen Boyi.
“Big brother, aren’t you planning to find my ex-sister-in-law to clear things up? It was such a shame you broke up!”
Shen Boyi didn’t lift his head, “What are you suggesting I clarify with a married woman? Should I intervene in her marriage and disrupt her family, or be the disgraceful third party?”
Shen Jishi shrugged.
“Forget it, you two just weren’t meant to be.”
“There are a few tricky international partnerships recently; you will take charge of Xiaowu’s school matters for now. If there’s anything, call me. I’ll send you Xiaowu’s teacher’s contact information later.”
“Yay!”
Shen Jishi was eager for more time with Qingwu. Previously, all Qingwu’s matters were handled solely by Shen Boyi, leaving them no chance!
Now the sister was his!
After breakfast, Shen Jishi drove his flashy red sports car out of Leisure Inn with a whistle, dialing the contact number sent by Shen Boyi on his phone.
“Is this Lawyer Shen? This is Jin Qingzhou, waiting for you at the agreed cafe. I’ve arrived; would you like anything to drink?”
The opening line left Shen Jishi momentarily stunned!
He quickly checked the contact information and realized it was the client he was scheduled to meet today!
“No need, I’ll be there shortly. Mr. Jin, please hold on!”
