The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Pei Jundu Knows Xuan Lengyue is Still Alive! Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Pei Jundu Knows Xuan Lengyue is Still Alive! Qingwu and Pei Jue had just left the hospital when Elder Xuan arrived.

He looked at his grandson on the bed, who was having a cast applied to his leg, and angrily paced back and forth!

“What exactly are you doing, Xuan Jing? How have I taught you all these years? Did I tell you to do these heartless things?”

Xuan Jing grew up with Elder Xuan, and after the age of eight, he left to study abroad.

Elder Xuan always felt like he had watched Xuan Jing grow up firsthand.

How had this grandson turned out this way?

He found Xuan Jing’s current state somewhat unfamiliar!

Xuan Jing kept his eyes closed and remained silent.

Elder Xuan’s face burned with shame!

“You just think about it here, alright? You’re grown up now, there’s things you should and shouldn’t do, and I’m really disappointed in you!”

At his age, he still had to apologize to that junior, Shen Dongli.

After making several phone calls, he was mocked by Elder Shen until he didn’t respond for the first time in his life!

Raising such a grandson was truly embarrassing.

Elder Shen was furious, and even Zuo Jing’an called to scold Xuan Jing.

“Your grandson must apologize to my granddaughter! I’m telling you, Elder Xuan, I don’t trust sending Shaojia back to the Xuan Family with this.”

Perhaps after venting his anger, Zuo Jing’an remembered that Elder Xuan had his own difficulties and offered some consolation.

“Well, children have their own fortunes! Don’t overthink it.”

“But you must let my granddaughter vent her anger, even if your grandson has to be beaten up!”

Elder Xuan felt like he was losing face entirely!

After apologizing to everyone, he called Qingwu and Pei Jue. Elder Xuan felt like he had no face left to save.

Luckily, because of Shen Shaojia, Qingwu and Pei Jue both agreed to let Xuan Jing off this time.

Elder Xuan was a bit tired, sitting in the chair, speaking earnestly.

“A-Jing, your grandfather’s old and can’t control you anymore. I had to lower my face to apologize this time, but you need to behave better in the future!”

Hearing the clearly aged and weary voice of Elder Xuan, Xuan Jing hesitated.

Elder Xuan sighed.

“I’ll call your brother back. You brothers can resolve those matters together.”

Many of the Xuan family’s enterprises were reported, and Elder Xuan had no choice but to call back Xuan Jing’s brother to do everything possible to keep this grandson out of trouble.

Thinking that the grandson he raised for so many years might have a future working in a factory, Elder Xuan felt heartbroken!

Xuan Jing opened his eyes to the noticeably aged appearance of Elder Xuan and felt a pang of sadness.

But then he thought, he’d done everything for the Xuan Family!

Why bring Xuan Zhen back when all of this was his doing and for the Xuan Family?

Growing up, he never outdid Xuan Zhen in anything!

Xuan Jing clenched his fists, adopting a look of guilt.

“A-Jing, Grandpa will protect you this once. If you remain stubborn, even if you’re left for dead in the wilderness, I won’t save you! Do you understand?”

Elder Xuan sternly scolded Xuan Jing.

“Grandpa, I want to call Elder Pei to apologize.”

Xuan Jing’s voice was hoarse. “Grandpa, it’s all my fault. I hurt little Qingwu and Sister Shaojia.”

Seeing Xuan Jing like this, Elder Xuan didn’t stop him.

“Alright, then Grandpa will first go find your aunt. She’s still here for a check-up.”

Elder Xuan shakily walked out of the ward, his hunched back showing signs of being visibly affected by Xuan Jing’s actions.

He was utterly disgraced in front of his old comrades, but Xuan Jing was still his own flesh and blood; Elder Xuan couldn’t just abandon him!

“The state of your body isn’t good enough for surgery right now. We’ll schedule it as soon as possible,” the doctor said.

“Understood. You can leave now,” Xuan Jing replied.

Looking at his leg, Xuan Jing seethed with resentment!

Pei Jue had caused his leg to suffer a comminuted fracture. Given his already weak condition, and after being beaten by Qingwu, he was not even in a condition for surgery now!

If his leg ended up useless because of this…

Xuan Jing clenched his fist, waited for the medical staff to leave, and then coldly dialed Elder Pei’s number.

“Elder Pei, hello. I’m Xuan Jing. President Pei has left me with a comminuted fracture in my leg. Doesn’t the Pei Family owe me an explanation?”

Elder Pei was having dinner with Elder Pei’s wife.

Being old, Elder Pei had the phone on speaker, max volume, and everyone at the table could hear Xuan Jing’s voice.

Elder Pei spoke slowly. “A-Jue injured you? Then you should talk to A-Jue. What do you want from me? I can’t manage A-Jue’s affairs.”

“Elder Pei, I’m, after all, Shaojia’s cousin. If the Pei Family treats me this way, what would my aunt think if she knew? How would she view your family?”

Elder Pei’s wife sneered, “How would she see it? With her eyes! Who knows if you’re even a proper family? Even that old thing, Shen Lisu, mistook his wife and swapped his granddaughter; what about Elder Xuan?”

She sipped her bird’s nest soup languidly, raising her eyelids with a mocking look.

“With your rotten little mind, you don’t seem like Elder Xuan’s grandson. More like Elder Su’s grandson. Your real grandfather’s about to face the firing squad, shouldn’t you, as the devoted grandson, visit him?”

“Who knows, you might end up the same way and get familiar with the place in advance.”

Elder Pei’s wife had always been known for her sharp tongue—Xuan Jing had never met her, just heard tales of the old lady’s infamously venomous disposition!

Xuan Jing was so infuriated that his mouth twisted.

Elder Pei’s wife continued her tirade.

“I heard you used to be quite filial to Elder Su. Visiting him every festive season. Anyone might think your last name was Su.”

Some of Xuan Jing’s less-than-honorable business dealings were arranged by Elder Su, and the Xuan family had no hint of these matters. How did the Pei family know?

Xuan Jing was enraged and humiliated.

“If the Pei family doesn’t give me an explanation, I’ll be sure to tell Sister Shaojia about all this.”

Elder Pei’s wife let out a derisive laugh, “And that’s only if Shaojia believes you.”

“Madam, I have my ways of making Sister Shaojia believe me, don’t I?”

Hearing the threat in Xuan Jing’s tone, Elder Pei’s wife was deeply displeased.

“Go threaten your ancestors! If you dare to touch my granddaughter, I’ll tear down the Xuan Family’s ancestral grave! You snot-nosed brat, daring to show off in front of me?”

Pei Jundu quickly pulled Elder Pei’s wife aside, “Mom, don’t worry, there are plenty of people around Shaojia. She’ll be fine.”

As a key research project member, Shen Shaojia was constantly protected by Hua Country’s special forces.

Xuan Jing gritted his teeth, resorting to his final tactic.

“Elder Pei’s wife, I’ll inform my aunt about all of this. She’s just at the hospital for a check-up and doesn’t even know Sister Shaojia exists!”

“If she knew she had another daughter, think of how happy she’d be.”

“But with her poor health, she might get startled into something severe, who can say…”
