The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Do You Not Like Doctor Shen? Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Do You Not Like Doctor Shen? Half an hour ago.

Pei Jue was confronting Elder Pei Liu at the Pei Family’s resort.

On the ancient redwood round table lay an agreement, and Elder Pei Liu, incensed, was trembling.

“Ah Jue, you’ve gone too far! I’m the current president of the Pei Clan, and you’re stealing my business. Are you trying to shut the Pei Clan down?”

Pei Jue replied indifferently, “If you can’t handle it, then don’t do it. You’re the president of the Pei Clan and my employee. If Sixth Uncle can’t manage, I’ll replace you at the next board meeting.”

As the major shareholder, Pei Jue had the power to appoint Elder Pei Liu, and he could just as easily depose him!

It dawned on Elder Pei Liu that Pei Jue had elevated him just to make a fool of him!

Those damn partners all recognized Pei Jue, knowing that the Pei Clan itself was undergoing internal restructuring, and completely ignored Elder Pei Liu!

Being president was a joke; he’d be unnoticed if he performed at Emei Mountain.

However, Elder Pei Liu found himself stuck without a way up or down, with a mountain of unresolved business at hand.

Pei Jue casually pressed the lighter, igniting the cigarette clamped between his fingers, not sparing Elder Pei Liu a single glance.

“If Sixth Uncle can’t handle such trivial matters, the Pei Clan’s affairs will have nothing to do with you anymore.”

“Pei Jue! Are you trying to push me out? Dream on!”

Pei Jue chuckled lightly, “Sixth Uncle, what’s the rush? I’ve prepared many gifts for you. You’ll be pleased.”

Pleased? The last gift Pei Jue had given Elder Pei Liu was a video of Fifth Master Pei before his death!

What kind of gift this time? Nothing more than something to enrage Elder Pei Liu to death!

Now, Elder Pei Liu was stuck between a rock and a hard place, put there by Pei Jue.

Annie opened the door, bowing, “President Pei, a transoceanic call from Chairman Shen.”

Shen Dongli had tried calling Shen Zhongshuang, but couldn’t get through, assuming that he must have been in surgery.

So, he called Pei Jue instead.

Shen Dongli’s original words were, “Ah Jue, Xiaowu never learned to fight. Could you handle Xuan Jing? Don’t let Xiaowu be bullied. I was even thinking of having Zhongshuang pull Xuan Jing’s plug directly…”

The method was simple and crude, but they couldn’t get in touch with Shen Zhongshuang.

“I’ll go find Xiaowu immediately.”

“If something really happens to Xuan Jing, you can blame it on your Second Uncle!”

Pei Jue found the situation amusing yet exasperating. It seemed that due to Shen Shaojia’s matters, Shen Dongli still held considerable resentment toward Pei Jundu.

He put away his phone and hurried over, grateful it wasn’t too late yet.

A smile appeared on Qingwu’s face.

“The sixth floor’s special care ward, I leave it to you then.”

“Could I trouble you, Xiaowu? How about dinner together tonight?”

“Sure.”

Professor Chen Jianhong watched Pei Jue turn to leave, feeling there was something peculiar about him and Qingwu.

Odd…ambiguous!

“It’s strange. You are clearly engaged, but why do you still look so peculiar together?”

Though Pei Jue and Qingwu had made no intimate moves, Professor Chen picked up a whiff of romance!

Qingwu raised a brow and asked, “Where’s the patient I’m supposed to see?”

“In my office; let’s go!”

Qingwu turned to Su Mi, “Are you heading back or waiting here for me?”

Su Mi remembered Pei Jue mentioning planning an evening date with Qingwu. If she stayed waiting for Qingwu, she’d surely be a third wheel!

And an electrifying one at that.

“I’m going home!”

Qingwu frowned slightly, “It seems you no longer have a home. Do you want to come to mine?”

Su Mi then recalled her home, which she had burned down in one big fire.

“Then I’ll head back to the gang; there’s still some business there!”

“I’ve sent people from the boxing arena to your gang; better not return for now.”

Since the Black Dragon Gang was so indiscreet, Qingwu didn’t mind teaching them a lesson.

“But…baby, you didn’t need to handle it for me. Boohoo, I want to be your dog for life!”

Qingwu showed a complex look, “No need for that, only I dislike them using the boxing arena people to bully you.”

The underground boxing arena was a mix of all sorts, but it was Beidou Star’s domain, and Qingwu didn’t like chaos on her turf.

Helping Su Mi was just along the way.

“Then I’ve…made plans with Doctor Shen. Yes, I promised to treat him to dinner!”

Su Mi racked her brains, determined not to disrupt Qingwu and Pei Jue’s dinner, so she decided to drag Shen Zhongshuang into this!

Vowing, Su Mi said, “Doctor Shen paid for my medical bills, so I’ll treat him to dinner in return.”

Nodding, Qingwu turned away with Professor Chen Jianhong.

Watching them leave, Su Mi slumped down, patting her significantly fluctuating chest.

“Scared me to death. I guess I have to treat Doctor Shen to dinner now.”

Doctor Lu glanced at Su Mi, cautiously asking, “Are you Doctor Shen’s girlfriend? I think I’ve seen you several times.”

“Of course not! Doctor Shen dating an anatomist is more likely than dating me.”

An “anatomist,” as in one who specializes in medical anatomy regarding body donors.

It was Doctor Lu’s first time encountering someone like Su Mi; it left him wide-eyed.

Pushing Doctor Lu back to the ward, Su Mi explained.

“When I asked the last time Doctor Shen held hands with a girl, he said it was with an anatomist, investigating the spread of cancer cells to the hand.”

Doctor Lu: “…”

“When I asked if he’d ever felt moved, he said there was one time during an autopsy of an anatomist when the heart was absolutely perfect!”

That one time, out of curiosity, Su Mi had asked what a perfect heart looked like, prompting Shen Zhongshuang to send her numerous heart specimens while she dined!

All extracted from international documents, these were said to be examples of perfect hearts.

Su Mi felt utterly complex.

“Firstly, I deeply respect the anatomists; secondly, I hold esteem for medical photographers. But I happened to be eating cold pig heart salad!”

Doctor Lu’s lips twitched.

After escorting Doctor Lu to the ward, Su Mi bent over the wheelchair, speaking cheerfully.

“Besides, given we’re about the same age, you see, I’ve survived, nothing major. I grew up without parents. When my mom passed away, my dad flaunted his mistress in front of me.”

“Upon coming of age, the first person I dealt with was that mistress. Originally, I thought I would die, but Qingwu stepped in, saved me, and brought me back.”

Su Mi’s beautiful eyes shone like stars.

“So it’s essential to live well.”

Doctor Lu nodded, softly acknowledging, “Got it! But I do think you and Doctor Shen are a great match; both of you look amazing.”

Standing upright, Su Mi shrugged.

“I admit my appearance is breathtakingly stunning, but Doctor Shen and I…we are not from the same world anymore.”

She had nothing, with a daunting path ahead, unsure if she’d be collateral in a gang crossfire one day.

Su Mi gave a somewhat wistful smile, her gaze landing on the blooming flowers outside the window, clustered and passionately vibrant.

Yet, she had fallen into impoverishment.

“Doctor Shen’s such a good person, being with me wouldn’t work out. As much as I’d take a hit, I wouldn’t be able to bear it.”

Doctor Lu asked, puzzled, “Ms. Su, do you not like Doctor Shen?”
