The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: I Shouldn’t Have Given Birth to You Back Then Chapter 271: Chapter 271: I Shouldn’t Have Given Birth to You Back Then Ye Qilan’s face looked a bit grim.

“Shen Lisu agreed to let you mess around like this? This is higher education, not child’s play!”

Qingwu pointed to the guardian’s signature on the withdrawal application, where Shen Lisu’s three characters were scrawled in majestic handwriting, full of character.

It even bore Shen Lisu’s personal seal, making the procedure very complete.

“My grandfather agreed to all my decisions.”

“Nonsense! Has Shen Lisu gone crazy? Letting a perfectly good child skip school and run around recklessly, what sense does that make? I disapprove!”

Qingwu, with a backpack slung over one shoulder and her high ponytail tied up smartly, looked calmly at the somewhat enraged Ye Qilan.

“Principal, I don’t need to use school to complete your obedience training. If you think you can keep me here like this, you’re dreaming.”

Ye Qilan raised his eyes to look at the Qingwu in front of him.

A ray of light fell on her, giving off a graceful yet commanding presence, as if she had everything under control.

She was now the leader of the Beidou Star, and Ye Qilan, as the first leader of Beidou Star, understood that Qingwu attending classes at Beijing University was a waste of time.

All Ye Qilan wanted was for Qingwu to obey his decisions!

This boring obedience training was something Qingwu despised.

Ye Qilan’s gaze dimmed, “I would really like to know how those old guys taught you. Your duty is to follow orders, yet you can’t even learn that!”

Qingwu raised an eyebrow and smiled, “Principal Ye, those who first demanded my obedience are now fertilizer in the Beidou Star Cultivation Garden.”

Her standing here now proved that she was the current rule of Beidou Star!

“Principal Ye, here are the two applications—sign them if you wish, it doesn’t matter if you don’t.”

Qingwu turned and walked away without a hint of reluctance, as if neither the prestigious school nor the highly respected Ye Qilan meant anything to her.

Her carefree calmness provoked Ye Qilan, who clenched his fists, his voice tinged with a bit of anger.

“I’ll sign your exemption application, but you must attend my class!”

“Got it, thank you, Principal.”

…

Leisure Inn, Dragon Building, Pei Mansion.

The car stopped in front of the Pei Mansion. Pei Jundu stood to the side, opened the car door, and extended his hand for the elderly woman inside to take hold.

The old lady, in a silk coat with a red pearl necklace around her neck, got out of the car.

She glanced at the nearby villa and then at the cold and quiet Pei Mansion.

“Where’s the old man?”

“Dad’s been staying at the Shen Mansion recently, saying that Chief Shen can’t bear to let him go.”

The old lady snorted with derision, her thin lips curling slightly, “Shen Lisu can’t bear to let him go? Can’t bear to let him into his coffin sooner, you mean. Where’s my granddaughter?”

Pei Jundu wiped the sweat from his face.

“Mom, Shaojia is also at the Shen Family.”

“Useless!”

The old lady glared at Pei Jundu, using her dragon-headed cane to hit him on his leg.

“A perfectly good child, and you couldn’t even get her back, what’s the use of you? I shouldn’t have given birth to you back then, should’ve let you fall into a latrine pit and become fertilizer!”

“A-Jue, help me inside! I want to see my granddaughter!”

Beaten by the cane in the old lady’s hand, Pei Jundu dared not express his anger, and he, along with Pei Jue, helped the old lady into the Shen Mansion.

Elder Shen was playing chess with Elder Pei, and upon seeing the jeweled old lady enter, Elder Pei’s chess piece fell to the ground.

“Old lady, why did you leave the hospital?”

The old lady looked coldly at Elder Pei, “None of your damn business. Get out of my way! Where’s my granddaughter?”

She hadn’t come out of the hospital just to see this old geezer.

Out for so long, she only saw some irrelevant people, making the old lady irritable.

Shen Shaojia happened to come downstairs, carrying a bouquet of freshly cut flowers, placing them in a vase in the living room.

The old lady’s eyes lit up, and she pushed aside her second son and grandson, lifting her skirt as she walked straight over to Shen Shaojia.

“Who is this…”

“I’m your grandmother! You’re Shaojia, right? With the surname Shen?”

The old lady frowned, her face looking a bit harsh and sharp, not easy to get along with, causing Shen Shaojia to feel a bit uneasy.

“Yes, I am Shen Shaojia.”

Pei Jundu, worried his mother might say something unpleasant that would upset Shaojia, intervened.

“Mom, Shaojia can have any surname… Don’t make things difficult for the child.”

The old lady pulled Pei Jundu aside, raising her voice.

“Why are you blocking me? Rude, get out of the way!”

Her voice, somewhat shrill, was that of a professional soprano singer, having been a leading performer in a cultural troupe in her youth.

“My surname is Du, can’t you share my surname? What’s good about the surname Shen, and the surname Pei is no use either!”

Shen Shaojia felt puzzled and a bit at a loss.

“My daughter shares my surname; don’t you share your mother’s surname Zuo? I find Shen Lisu is like a Qing Dynasty zombie, a relic of old feudalism. Look at you, so thin. What, are you studying archaeology?”

Shen Shaojia shook her head, “No, I’m studying paleobiology genetics…”

“I thought you liked skeletons. Lousy taste, but you’re pretty, who do you take after, Shen Dongli or Zuo Wanjun?”

Pei Jundu was embarrassed, “Mom, Shaojia is my child…”

His child, how could she resemble Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun?

The old lady didn’t take him seriously at all.

“Your child? Are you worthy? Can you raise such a good daughter? Your name is Shaojia, right? Help me back.”

Shen Shaojia hadn’t quite figured out this grandmother’s temperament, but seeing her extend her hand, she had no choice but to go along.

“Grandmother, take it easy.”

“I won’t die. The Shen Family has raised you well, and it’s fair that Jundu is too ashamed to claim you back. I feel like I’ve stumbled upon a gem.”

Shen Shaojia’s mouth twitched.

This kind of “stumbling upon a gem” talk, it was the first time she had heard it…

After sending the old lady to the somewhat cold Pei Mansion, she spoke.

“A-Jue, bring your wife to see me tomorrow, and Shaojia too. I have a gift prepared for you all. It’s too late tonight; I need to rest. You all can leave.”

Pei Jundu tentatively suggested, “Mom, dad is still staying at the Shen Family recently. Why don’t we let him come back to keep you company?”

“He better not, it’s less smelly at home without an old geezer; it’s unbearable to smell them, tell him to get lost!”

“The nerve to say he’d accompany me? I was doing just fine in the convalescent hospital without him getting in the way. If he comes home, I’ll have to take care of him!”

Pei Jundu chuckled awkwardly, “Mom, we have a maid at home, there’s no need for you to take care of Dad. We just worry you might feel lonely!”

The old lady raised an eyebrow, fiery as ever.

“Then let little Shaojia stay with me. If A-Jue’s wife can come, that’s even better, but with this unclear status, it’s embarrassing for the young lady to come here to accompany an old lady like me. It’s shameful to say the least.”

“You Peis can afford to be shameless, but I still care.”
