The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 395: Chapter 395 If I Win, Give Me a Kiss

Shenja’s heart raced wildly!

Her body was held by the man beside her, a wide monk’s robe draped over her, and the faint scent of sandalwood filled her nose.

In that instant just now, Yu Chen used his own body to protect her!

Letting go of her, Yu Chen said calmly, “Apologies for the abruptness, Benefactor, I acted on instinct.”

“Thank you, Master.”

Shenja touched her face, feeling like the temperature was unusually warm.

She decisively opened the car door and stepped out to inspect the rear-end collision with the driver.

Ju Ming was already irritated, and with Wen Youjie nagging in her ear, Ju Ming felt more strongly that Qingwu was an untrustworthy manipulative green tea!

The thought of Pei Jue being led around by such a scheming and deceitful woman drove Ju Ming mad with worry.

She was dying to rush to the hospital and reveal the truth to the Pei Family!

And then, halfway there, the rear-end collision happened!

Ju Ming sized up Shenja. While she was pretty, she wasn’t dressed in any designer luxury brands, so she likely came from a modest middle-class family.

This idea made Ju Ming even more impatient.

“What a joke. Do you even know how to drive? Forget it, bad luck on my part. You can contact your insurance company—whatever it costs, just let me know later. I’m leaving!”

Shenja frowned and said, “You’re the one who rear-ended me. It’s your fault. I’m also in a hurry!”

“I never said I wouldn’t take responsibility. But if it weren’t for you blocking the way, I wouldn’t have rear-ended you!”

“Are you saying your rear-ending me is somehow my fault?”

Shenja had never met someone this shameless!

What kind of logic was this!

Ju Ming rolled her eyes. “Obviously! Whatever, I’ll just take the blame. Move aside already!”

A car sped by and stopped next to them on the roadside.

The window rolled down, and Qingwu, noticing Shenja standing by the road, inquired with concern, “Sister, did you have an accident?”

“Just a rear-end collision, nothing major. Don’t worry, I’ve already called Fourth Brother.”

Upon realizing Shenja was Qingwu’s sister, Ju Ming’s irritation deepened!

“Like sister, like brother! All trash with no moral integrity!”

Shenja flew into a rage on the spot!

It was one thing to insult her, but what was the point of dragging her sister into it?

“What do you mean by that? What did my family’s Qingwu do to provoke you? Are you insane? No wonder someone like you can’t even drive properly—probably underdeveloped cerebellum and everything else. I shouldn’t even be expecting basic function from you!”

“What do I mean? Your sister has done all those despicable things! And your whole family just lets her get away with it? She seduces other people’s men, repeatedly targets my friends, and is absolutely unworthy of Chairman Pei!”

Shenja raised her eyebrows.

“Oh, so it’s yet another attack targeting the Pei Family. Whether Qingwu measures up is not for you to decide!

The car window rolled down even further, revealing the profile of an impeccably refined man with noble poise.

“Shaojia, get in the car. Don’t waste time; we need to visit Grandpa.”

“I’m coming.”

Pei Jue didn’t even spare Ju Ming a glance, which infuriated her to the point of stomping her feet!

Before getting in the car, Shenja turned and looked back at Ju Ming.

“Miss Intelligence Deficiency, don’t assume everyone in the Pei Family is stupid. You think you’re the only one seeing the truth? If you’re so smart, why hasn’t your family replaced the Pei Family yet? Is it because you don’t like being billionaires?”

Ju Ming was stunned on the spot!

Though Shenja’s words were harsh, there was some sense to them!

As she stared at the car speeding away with its trail of exhaust, Ju Ming’s brain spun so fast it was almost overheated!

Wen Youjie tugged at her sleeve. “Ming Jie, don’t be fooled. What I said is all true…”

Ju Ming snapped impatiently, “Shut up, you moron!”

Wen Youjie bit her lip and kept quiet.

It seemed Ju Ming couldn’t be relied on. She’d have to go find Mr. Zhang!

…

Qiao Xi Hospital, Beijing.

Xuan Lengyue’s hospital room was beautifully decorated, and Shenja made sure to replace the flowers daily.

After Shenja hesitantly explained her purpose for visiting, Xuan Lengyue set down the paper she was working on and considered thoughtfully.

“Attending the engagement party is the proper thing to do. Your grandfather is also staying at this hospital? Bring your mother to greet him. As a member of the younger generation, it’s the least we can do to pay our respects to our elders.”

Shenja nodded quickly in agreement and pushed Xuan Lengyue’s wheelchair to Elder Pei’s room.

The moment he saw her, Elder Pei sat up straight in his hospital bed!

“Ah Yue… I can’t believe you’d still be willing to visit me!”

Xuan Lengyue smiled gently. “Uncle Pei, what happened in the past wasn’t your fault. Shenja told me the Pei Family feels they let me down. Please don’t think that way!”

The past wasn’t the fault of the Xuan Family, nor the Pei Family. It all came down to her and Pei Jundu simply lacking fate!

Over the recent weeks, Xuan Lengyue had seen Pei Jundu as well.

Youth had faded; time had worn him down. The young man he once was had turned into a weathered middle-aged man, and she had suddenly made peace with it!

“I wasn’t destined to be with Jundu, but we’ve agreed to co-parent our daughter from now on. If there’s any blame, it’s on us for failing Shenja.”

“As for the rest, we’ll leave it to fate.”

Elder Pei nodded tearfully. “Good, good, your willingness to think this way is the best outcome!”

Seeing Xuan Lengyue fulfilled Elder Pei’s long-cherished wish!

He muttered, “Back then, it was the Pei Family’s misstep in choosing sides that caused all the harm…”

Elder Pei’s wife frowned and interjected, “What nonsense! Xuan’s father chose correctly—has he had any better luck since then?”

Elder Pei seemed to believe that if the Pei Family had sided with Ye Qilan’s faction back then, perhaps they wouldn’t have suffered so much retaliation and trouble!

But the Xuan Family hadn’t escaped hardship either, and going along with Ye Qilan’s actions hadn’t brought them much benefit either!

Thinking this through, Elder Pei felt somewhat relieved.

“Ah Yue, come to the engagement party for Qingwu and Jue, too!”

“Alright, I’ll attend with Shenja. And I’ll make sure to visit some members of the Shen Family as well.”

Her health had kept her from meeting Zuo Wanjun and Shen Dongli!

She needed to thank them for raising such a fine and kind daughter for her!

Elder Pei nodded in full satisfaction.

Pei Jue handed him the box of medication and explained the side effects Qingwu had mentioned.

“Alright, stop fussing. I’m already so old—if this finally takes me, it’ll be a happy funeral. These side effects don’t matter at all!”

The room fell silent, the mood heavy.

Elder Pei’s wife blinked rapidly, holding back her tears and sorrow.

“I’m heading out. Don’t wait for me to eat.”

Du Shu asked anxiously, “Where are you going? Do you need me to come with you?”

“No need, just dealing with some matters.”

…

Shen Jishi’s law office.

Piles upon piles of files left Shen Jishi feeling overwhelmed.

Assistant: “Shen Lyu, Miss Jin’s mother has undergone a mental health evaluation. The doctor says she appears to have no issues.”

Shen Jishi felt a pang of anxiety. He had promised his eldest brother to help, and failing at the very first step would be shameful!

Sitting on the couch across from him, Xu Xiaoru popped her bubble gum and snapped her fingers.

“I’ve got a solution. Wanna bet on it, Lawyer Shen?”

“If I win, you have to go on a date and give me a kiss!”

Shen Jishi almost fell out of his chair in shock!
