The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Angry Confrontation with Green Tea, Not Interested in Barking at Dogs Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Angry Confrontation with Green Tea, Not Interested in Barking at Dogs Shen Shaojia’s pupils slightly dilated.

Was Pei Jundu blatantly lying?

It was clear that the Pei matriarch went straight for Ye Qilan!

How is this poor eyesight?

She had never seen an old lady with poor eyesight who could still spot a loose thread on her clothes early in the morning.

Even noticed a piece of fried chicken with sauce on it.

And had a good scolding for the entire Pei Family from old to young…

Pei Jundu said earnestly, “Principal Ye, this is all a misunderstanding, your expenses at our resort will be fully covered by me as an apology…”

Ye Qilan regained some composure, slightly opened his eyes, and looked at Pei Jundu.

“So you’re saying your mother has poor eyesight?”

“It’s not poor eyesight, my mother… she’s blind!”

Pei Jundu pinched himself hard, forcibly bringing a few tears to his eyes.

Ye Qilan was a bit shocked too, as he had never heard that the Pei matriarch went blind, despite being in the same circle.

Ye Qilan frowned and sat up straight.

“When did this happen?”

“My mother has been in a nursing home for years due to her bad eyesight, avoiding coming back so we wouldn’t feel sad…”

Shen Shaojia lowered her head, covered her mouth, fearing she might fail to stifle her laughter and bite her tongue.

From Ye Qilan’s angle, Shen Shaojia looked like she was sobbing, her shoulders shaking…

He believed some of it, but was still a bit skeptical; he distinctly remembered being kicked in the back, not something someone with poor eyesight would manage.

“Forget it, since it’s her eyesight, no need to fish over it, let’s drop it.”

“Ah, Principal Ye, you are so magnanimous! I will surely have my mother apologize to you!”

“No need, she’s at her age, let her rest well, disperse, let me rest a while.”

Pei Jundu exchanged some pleasantries before exiting with Shen Shaojia.

Having closed the door, Shen Shaojia turned and hugged Qingwu, who walked up to her, burying her head in her shoulder, unable to control her laughter.

She only now realized how skillfully Pei Jundu could lie through his teeth!

Pei Jundu said solemnly, “Otherwise what did you think, leading a research institute doesn’t require diplomacy? Say enough platitudes and you’ll learn too.”

Shen Shaojia laughed until her face turned red, “What if Principal Ye finds out Grandma isn’t actually blind?”

Pei Jundu shrugged indifferently.

“Professor Chen Jianhong’s medical skills are outstanding, after returning home your grandmother felt great, seeing you and Jue Xiaowu every day, blindness recovery could be considered a medical miracle. Is that enough?”

Moreover, there’s really no certainty Ye Qilan and the Pei matriarch would ever cross paths.

Even if he knew it was the Pei matriarch who deliberately kicked him, he had no place to pick a bone…

Seeing Pei Jundu’s demeanor, he probably had said such things quite often.

Shen Shaojia raised an eyebrow, “You’re like this, and I don’t find you all that annoying!”

She most previously detested Pei Jundu’s calm and rigid demeanor, always feeling she couldn’t find any resemblance in him…

Surprise and delight, Pei Jundu followed, curling up his mouth slightly!

Qingwu didn’t expect this side of Pei Jundu’s personality either.

A surprised voice came from next door.

“Qingwu sister…”

Lin Xuecheng in a simple white dress, the same one she wore when Qingwu left the Lin Family, now washed to appear slightly faded…

She stood at the door somewhat awkwardly, looking at the adored Qingwu.

Qingwu wore a slightly loose knitted cardigan over a slim-fitting dress.

The hem of the dress moved like real flowers, revealing two long white legs, stepping on a pair of brown leather shoes, styled like an exquisite doll, that face was cold and awe-inspiring, like a queen!

A stark contrast to Lin Xuecheng!

Lin Xuecheng had arrived with Elder Pei Liu’s family, after all, this was a Pei Family estate, and Elder Pei Liu chose this place for business talks.

It wasn’t easy for her to persuade Lian Ousheng to bring her…

Seeing the glamorous Qingwu and the tall, gentle man beside her, Lin Xuecheng’s eyes reddened!

She had seen this man at Pei Manor and several times by Qingwu’s side before…

Upon checking, Lin Xuecheng learned he was the head of the Pei Group, controlling assets worth billions, with a global business empire, wealth beyond numerical description!

In addition to this man’s powerful aura, with a face as exquisite as a Nuwa’s final creation, tall stature, and handsome enough to make women around the world fall at his feet.

Lin Xuecheng’s heart also skipped rapidly!

Elder Pei Liu had gone to great lengths just to obtain power from Pei Jue!

Why was Qingwu with such a man?

First Shen Family’s eldest son, now Pei Group’s President, why was Qingwu so lucky?

She definitely used underhanded means to seduce him…

Lin Xuecheng, tormented with twisted thoughts, secretly wondered why such fortunes couldn’t be hers!

Lin Xuecheng thought, stepping forward, “Qingwu sister, are you working as a cleaner here? If you’re having a hard time, you can tell me, it’s not like you had to go to the maternity department before…”

If Pei Jue found out about Qingwu’s indiscretions, he would surely abandon her!

Her words had just fallen when Su Yurou raised her chin and walked out of the room, her eyes brightening at the sight of Pei Jue!

“President Pei, please save me, I don’t want to go to jail…”

Shen Shaojia frowned as she looked at the two of them.

“Yurou, you’re still out and about? Have you fallen on hard times needing to share a room with someone? Or is there some unknown hobby?”

Her gaze fell on the pretentious Lin Xuecheng.

“You should eat something good as well, this… good luck.”

This was blatant humiliation!

Su Yurou’s eyes filled with tears.

“Sister Shaojia, why would you say that about me? It wasn’t me who caused Third Brother’s troubles, I was framed! It’s definitely the bumpkin… it’s Qingwu sister who’s jealous of me!”

Qingwu disdainfully raised an eyebrow.

“What’s worth me being jealous of? Campus bullying or buying dirt to harm the Shen Family? Brother also knows what you did to his girlfriend, conduct yourself well.”

Su Yurou became a bit flustered!

Those were past issues, how did the bumpkin know?

Years back Su Yurou indeed wanted to marry Shen Boyi when she came of age, to smoothly own the Shen Family’s fortune, only Shen Boyi didn’t think much of her.

“I… I was doing it for Brother’s good, that woman only wanted his money! I really didn’t do it on purpose!”

Qingwu sneered, “You weren’t after Brother’s money? Or are you different, you want the entire Shen Family’s money after all!”

Caught by her own intentions, Su Yurou’s gaze wavered.

She gritted her teeth, looking at Pei Jue.

“President Pei, I have something very important to tell you, you’ll regret your engagement to sister hearing this… Grandma told me, it’s definitely true! You have to believe me!”

Pei Jue gave her a faint glance, nodding.

“Noted, but I’m not interested in the sound of a dog barking, now get lost!”
