Chapter 289 - 289 289 Warning and Humiliation to Xuan Jing
Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Warning and Humiliation to Xuan Jing Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Warning and Humiliation to Xuan Jing Xuan Jing’s hospital room.
Qingwu pushed the door open and the scene she saw was Tarzan crouching in the corner clutching his head, his massive body trembling.
Xuan Jing lay on the bed, his face deathly pale, his fingers trembling as he pointed at Pei Jue!
“President Pei, when did I ever provoke you? Why do you have to do this to me!”
Pei Jue’s hand was on Xuan Jing’s calf, seemingly in a friendly conversation, but only Xuan Jing knew how hard Pei Jue was pressing!
He felt like his bones were about to be crushed by Pei Jue!
This damn Tarzan, as soon as Pei Jue entered, he was the first to surrender!
Previously, he had sworn he would take out Pei Jue, but now he curled up in the corner pretending he didn’t exist…
This fence-sitter angered Xuan Jing so much that he couldn’t stop cursing.
Pei Jue’s gaze was calm, carrying an intimidating aura of authority.
“Young Master Xuan must know what he has done.”
“Ahhh!! President Pei, aren’t you afraid that my grandfather and father will cause trouble for you…”
Xuan Jing’s body convulsed in pain, the veins on his neck bulging, the intense pain like a saw grinding back and forth on his body!
Qingwu walked over and said blandly, “I’m hungry, let’s go eat.”
Pei Jue withdrew his hand, casually wiping it, “Alright, you’re the boss. Young Master Xuan, make sure to take good care of your life. If I come looking for you and you’re dead, I won’t be happy.”
Xuan Jing knew that besides being the heir of the Pei Clan, Pei Jue was also the leader of the Deep Sea Organization, but he had never faced Pei Jue directly until now!
No wonder Tarzan acted as if he saw King Yan upon seeing Pei Jue.
This man, he was like an Asura from hell, truly terrifying!
Even knowing he couldn’t afford to provoke Pei Jue, for the first time, Xuan Jing felt Pei Jue’s horror—this kind of enemy made him a bit nervous…
If he wanted to get everything he desired, he had to possess Beidou Star!
Xuan Jing endured the pain and called out to Qingwu, who had already turned around.
“Ms. Shen, even for the sake of Sister Shaojia, you shouldn’t watch President Pei treat me like this…”
Qingwu turned back, “For the sake of my sister, you’re still breathing now.”
“By the way, I already contacted your grandfather and father. If Young Master Xuan’s first thought when in trouble is to run home and cry to daddy, you should find a kindergarten to attend.”
Shen Dongli made a call to Elder Xuan and told him everything Xuan Jing had done.
It wasn’t as if Xuan Jing was the only one who could complain—Shen Dongli could too!
He also felt that in front of Elder Xuan, he was still a junior, so what’s wrong with reporting?
The elder personally called Qingwu to apologize and requested Qingwu and Pei Jue to spare Xuan Jing once, and he was already on his way to the hospital.
“Young Master Xuan, I don’t care what you intend to do, nor do I care what Ye Qilan intends, but you and your master must know, Beidou Star now belongs to me.”
Qingwu’s eyes carried a sharp murderous intent.
Xuan Jing was just relying on working for Ye Qilan to behave so recklessly, wasn’t he?
Dream on if Ye Qilan or Xuan Jing thought about retaking Beidou Star!
Xuan Jing was horrified, unconsciously replying, “No…I never had any ideas about Beidou Star…”
“I thought you would deny being Ye Qilan’s dog; tell your master, a dog that bites indiscriminately doesn’t live long, and neither do people.”
Qingwu was merely speculating about Xuan Jing being Ye Qilan’s man, and his reaction showed she was right.
Ye Qilan’s deeds were nothing but attempting to reclaim Beidou Star.
She could have taken the entire old man with her in the past, but now Beidou Star had the same surname as Qingwu!
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, I have no ties with Principal Ye…”
Qingwu sneered, her voice carrying an icy, bloodthirsty tone.
“Whether you have ties or not, you know clearly in your heart, but you also need to know if you want to snatch something from me, you better get ready to play cards with King Yan.”
Originally, Qingwu did not like to waste words with someone like Xuan Jing, but he talked too much.
Without looking back, she walked out of the hospital room, Pei Jue following, “Even Elder Xuan called me.”
“I know, so Xuan Jing only has a broken leg.”
Pei Jue nodded, “The Pei Clan reported all of Xuan Jing’s black-market dealings, probably involving Elder Xuan.”
“No matter, Elder Xuan hasn’t meddled in family affairs for a long time, besides, the part you reported is bound to involve the Pei Family too.”
Pei Jue’s eyes held a slight scattering of amusement, the gaze beneath the flat lens extraordinarily gentle.
She always understood what he was doing, this tacit understanding brought Pei Jue immeasurable joy.
“Yes, part of the affair involved Xuan Jing and my Sixth Uncle’s collaboration, and some shares from Elder Su.”
Since Pei Jue allowed Elder Pei Liu to sit in the Pei Clan’s CEO position as he wished, he would let him understand with his life how wonderful that position really was!
The big gift he sent was on its way, not allowing Elder Pei Liu to feel unhappy!
Qingwu turned around, the man behind her was tall, and when the voice-controlled lights in the hallway dimmed, a faint shadow fell across his face, highlighting his sharp jawline, which made him look even more cold and noble.
“Now even if Sixth Uncle wants down, he can’t get down, I will make him feel the high position is like hell, with nothing but fiery agony.”
“Xiaowu, do you find me frightening when I’m like this?”
He acted with calculated steps, deeply schemed, eyes cold and unruly, his tactics ruthless.
What Pei Jue wanted Elder Pei Liu to experience was achieving everything he desired, only to feel endless despair and pain!
Qingwu stood right in a beam of light, her and Pei Jue’s position shared an interesting contrast, one in light, the other in shadow.
Light and dark, yet his eyes were always on her.
Qingwu was moved, reached for Pei Jue’s wrist, and pulled him along.
“I am the same way.”
As her words fell, the hallway’s lights turned on, and the joy and surprise in Pei Jue’s eyes were wholly captured by Qingwu.
“There is no need to consider how I see you, Pei Jue, just do what you need to do, my opinion isn’t that important.”
Qingwu withdrew her hand and walked out of the hospital alongside Pei Jue.
“Perhaps, I also wish for my friends to be a little more uninhibited. The real you may not be something I dislike, but the intentionally disguised you might be something I might not like.”
“There are many matters in Deep Sea and High Tower that are similar. What I encounter you also understand, my methods are no kinder than yours.”
Pei Jue chuckled softly, “I understand.”
He also knew Qingwu was comforting him!
Pei Jue never cared about how ruthless his methods were, yet when facing his betrothed whom he cherished dearly, he somehow worried she wouldn’t like this side of him!
Qingwu paused, suddenly speaking.
“But I also care about how you see me, so this time we’re even.”
