The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Bumping into Pei Jue and Qingwu Hugging Chapter 265: Chapter 265 Bumping into Pei Jue and Qingwu Hugging Pei Jundu was in a frenzy.

“Don’t cry, it’s all my fault!”

Pei Jundu had thought about many things on the way here.

The first half of his life had been a failure; he had nothing aside from scientific research.

When facing his only daughter, he didn’t know what attitude to adopt to keep her from being annoyed.

“Shaojia, I didn’t come to see you because I was afraid you’d feel annoyed at the sight of me. I’ve called Dongli several times…”

At first, Shen Dongli didn’t even want to talk to Pei Jundu.

It was only after Zuo Wanjun mediated between them that Shen Dongli agreed to answer his calls!

Worried that Shen Shaojia wouldn’t believe him, Pei Jundu hurriedly took out his phone to show Shen Shaojia the messages.

They were all conversations between Shen Dongli and Pei Jundu, mainly expressing concern for Shen Shaojia.

Even though Shen Dongli’s attitude wasn’t great, it was clear he was speaking patiently with Pei Jundu for the sake of Shen Shaojia.

[Stop talking about useless things. Look at our little Wu, how long has it been since she came home? Would she say her mom and I don’t love her? It’s all your own problem!]

[If it weren’t for worrying about Shaojia, I wouldn’t even bother talking nonsense with you!]

[If nothing else works, just work more, earn more money, give it all to Shaojia. If you can’t comfort her, then send her a huge sum of money. If you can’t even do that, you might as well just die!]

Pei Jundu pointed at the messages above and seriously said, “I think this makes a lot of sense, so I’ve been working hard recently, and I’ve deposited it all into your account!”

Shen Shaojia was a bit dumbfounded.

She had wondered where the sudden sum of money she received a few days ago came from.

She even thought it might have been from Shen Dongli or Shen Boyi, and she was too busy with experiments to check her banking app.

It turned out that the money was all sent by Pei Jundu!

Shen Dongli had always believed that money showed where love was.

Shen Shaojia looked at the middle-aged man crouching in front of her, his eyes red.

The men of the Pei family all shared very similar bone structures; Pei Jundu’s face and stature made him a certified eligible bachelor at the research institute.

“Shaojia, I’ll do anything you want!”

Shen Shaojia raised an eyebrow, “Would you give me first authorship on all your future papers?”

Pei Jundu replied earnestly, “Not on ones we complete together, but all my personal papers will have you as first author!”

For any researcher, this was an enticing offer.

“Then I’d like to meet Ziwei! Arrange that for me, and I’ll give you a chance!”

As a rising star in the scientific community, Ziwei had always been Shen Shaojia’s idol. However, due to strict regulations at the Beidou Star side, she had only met him once.

Pei Jundu pondered for a moment.

“It will be difficult, but there’s a scientific summit in a few days. Ziwei should be attending. If he doesn’t come, I’ll find another way!”

Next door in the office,

The financial report for the restaurant and the quarterly business updates were placed on Qingwu’s desk.

“Will sister and Uncle Pei be okay?”

“Uncle Pei knows his limits. He should just want to get along well with Shaojia.”

Qingwu lifted her eyes to look at Pei Jue, “You didn’t have to come here, really. Sorry to trouble you.”

If it weren’t for Shen Shaojia’s request, Pei Jue wouldn’t need to be summoned for these matters.

Even though the Pei Clan’s recent work was all in Elder Pei Liu’s hands, Pei Jue, as the largest director, was still busy, managing group affairs even on the road.

Pei Jue laughed lightly, gently running his defined fingers through Qingwu’s hair, his tone indulgent.

“Being able to accompany you makes anything worthwhile. Besides, the matters involving Shaojia and Uncle Pei could be considered family business of the Pei Family. I should be thanking my fiancée for accompanying me.”

Pei Jue looked at the girl before him.

Sitting beside him, her face was clear and translucent under the sunlight, her skin smooth and pale, and her black hair cascading like a cloud, beautiful like a porcelain piece in a museum.

Perhaps feeling a bit warm, Qingwu had taken off her coat upon entering, revealing her white, elegant collarbone through the neckline of her square-neck dress.

His Adam’s apple moved slightly,

Inexplicably, his heart was a little restless.

“Last time, my fiancée ran away too fast. Can I hold you a little longer this time?”

Before he could react, the girl in his arms dashed away like a cute little rabbit…

Even though he knew his little rabbit had sharp claws and mysteries on her that even he didn’t know, Pei Jue couldn’t help but treat Qingwu as a young girl.

His fiancée’s eyes were so clean and pure that someone like him, who lived in darkness, felt his heart itch just looking at them.

Following her light was instinctual for him!

Pei Jue gently embraced Qingwu, burying his head in her shoulder, a low chuckle escaping from his chest.

“You…”

Qingwu’s heartbeat quickened. Though he always kept a safe distance, seeming only tired, Qingwu thought about it and didn’t have the heart to push Pei Jue away.

The office door swung open, and Shen Shaojia’s voice got stuck in her throat.

“Little Wu…”

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Pei Jue’s hand resting on Qingwu’s slender waist, his head leaning against her shoulder, Qingwu’s hand remaining on Pei Jue’s shoulder, looking intimate and suggestive.

“Sorry to interrupt, you two carry on!”

Shen Shaojia wanted to slap herself twice.

What kind of luck did she have? She always seemed to catch Pei Jue and Qingwu in intimate moments!

Without even looking up, Shen Shaojia could feel the cold gaze Pei Jue cast her way…

She steeled herself as she spoke, “I just wanted to ask if you’re eating?”

Qingwu pushed Pei Jue away and walked over to Shen Shaojia.

“Did you come to an agreement?”

“It’s kind of settled. He promised to let me meet my idol, Ziwei! If I can really meet Ziwei, I’ll give him a chance.”

Qingwu raised an eyebrow slightly, “You’ll forgive him just because he lets you meet Ziwei?”

Was Ziwei that important?

There was indeed a science summit coming up, though Qingwu hadn’t initially planned on attending.

Shen Shaojia wrapped an arm around Qingwu’s waist, “If he can introduce me to Ziwei, give me first authorship on papers, and give me lots of money, letting me drive luxury cars and live in mansions, I’m willing too! Besides, I’ll just endure this little loss.”

Qingwu stifled a smile.

“Mm, it’s Sister who’s taking the loss.”

More importantly, Shen Shaojia felt that Pei Jundu cared about her.

Perhaps this care wasn’t much, but after seeing his conversation with Shen Dongli, Shen Shaojia knew she already had a good father.

She couldn’t let her willfulness cause Shen Dongli any distress.

To make her family happier, Shen Shaojia was willing to take a step back.

Qingwu gently squeezed Shen Shaojia’s hand and softly said, “No matter what choice Sister makes, I’ll always be there. I hope you do it for yourself, not for others.”

“Sister’s feelings are important, and I believe Dad, Mom, and the brothers will support you, too.”

Qingwu knew that Shen Shaojia was someone who would rather suffer herself than let her family down.

When she had just returned home and Shen Shaojia hadn’t appeared for a long time, it was actually to avoid Qingwu feeling imbalanced.

Shen Shaojia, with teary eyes, hugged Qingwu.

Oh, her sister was just a little angel!

During a break in their meal, Qingwu sent a message to Tian Yue.

[I’ll attend that science summit we talked about last time.]
