The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Qingwu Angry Confronts Pei Jue’s Father Chapter 324: Chapter 324 Qingwu Angry Confronts Pei Jue’s Father Qingwu’s presence here, her help to the Pei Family, all because of Pei Jue!

Pei Zhengchi raised an eyebrow, his eyes containing deep implications, and after a moment, he just smiled gently.

“Little girl, when a man from the Pei Family falls in love with someone, he will stick with that person for life. You have to think this through; if you and Pei Jue cannot end up together, he might go crazy.”

“I have no intention of regretting.”

Pei Zhengchi continued, “Aren’t you afraid? What if you make the same mistakes?”

Qingwu gazed at the middle-aged man in front of her, filled with an artistic aura yet exuding a sense of melancholy.

“Choose him just because I’m afraid? Uncle, did you not choose Pei Jue because you were afraid?”

Qingwu’s eyes were resolute.

“You think you’re doing what’s best for Pei Jue, watching him grow up alone from the shadows, is it out of fear?”

This question left Pei Zhengchi somewhat at a loss for words!

He was indeed afraid!

After Feng Yin left, he investigated the ins and outs, discovering some forces the Pei Family couldn’t contend with,

And it was at that time Pei Zhengchi learned of the Beidou Star project, venturing alone to the border.

The more he delved into the investigation, the more terrified Pei Zhengchi felt.

He even started to fear, if the Pei Family’s downfall was inevitable, whether his closeness with Pei Jue might someday harm him?

Qingwu’s eyes grew colder.

“Uncle, your excuses are just because you don’t love Pei Jue enough. You only love your wife, and because you’re afraid of losing her again, you chose to keep your distance.”

In Qingwu’s view, all of Pei Zhengchi’s excuses were because he didn’t choose any of Pei Jue’s brothers!

To him, neither aging parents nor young children mattered.

As an outsider, Qingwu didn’t want to spend more words judging Pei Zhengchi’s actions.

But she would show through her actions the person she chooses to be with!

Qingwu’s gaze passed over the crowd to land on Pei Jue, who was also looking at her. Their eyes met, and she saw a radiant smile as bright as streaming light on his face.

Qingwu’s lips curved up.

“I’m not afraid! I have never been afraid! What’s more, I have the ability to protect myself, even if the Pei Family is like a den of dragons and tigers, they can’t do anything to me.”

“Uncle, it’s you who failed to protect your loved one, I am not like you! The people I know are also different!”

Qingwu was not Xuan Lengyue, nor was she Feng Yin!

She came here, chose Pei Jue, simply because she liked him, that’s all!

The moment Qingwu saw Shen Zhongshuang and Su Mi embracing each other, she too felt the happiness of being a spectator.

And in that instant, the person she thought of was Pei Jue!

A person’s instinctive reactions do not lie.

Qingwu laughed softly, her eyes filled with an unprecedented tenderness.

“Uncle, you say these things not to discourage me from the difficulty, but because you are worried about Pei Jue, aren’t you? Don’t worry, I will take good care of him. With me here, no one can hurt him, not even you as a family elder.”

Pei Zhengchi’s face flushed with embarrassment!

He hadn’t expected that this seemingly under-twenty-year-old girl would see through his thoughts!

He hadn’t expected Qingwu to speak out so directly!

This girl was indeed different from all the other girls Pei Zhengchi had met.

No matter what Pei Zhengchi’s intentions were, whether out of concern for Pei Jue or not, Qingwu still spoke her mind.

“Uncle, I really look down on you, and don’t measure me by your way of thinking!”

Pei Zhengchi was slightly taken aback.

Confronted with Qingwu’s serious gaze mixed with a touch of disdain, Pei Zhengchi was a bit stunned!

“What do you know…”

Qingwu shook her head gently, looking at Pei Zhengchi with a pitying gaze.

“I may not understand, but you don’t understand me either, nor Pei Jue. It’s alright, from now on I will be the one who understands him.”

Having said that, she stood up and walked towards Pei Jue who took her hand and asked in a low voice what she discussed with Pei Zhengchi. Shortly after, Pei Zhengchi saw Pei Jue looking at him with a somewhat astonished glance.

Then he looked away.

But in that glance, Pei Zhengchi actually saw a sense of relief!

The father-son affection between them seemed to have returned to the past in that moment, yet it was also irrevocably changed…

Over these years, he had deliberately distanced himself from Pei Jue—could it really have been a mistake?

The Shen Family’s car stopped at the entrance of Pei Family’s old residence.

Elder Shen, supported by Shen Dongli, came in to pay respects to the deceased, his face solemn.

Handing the incense to Shen Dongli, Elder Shen glanced at Elder Pei.

“Is it resolved?”

“Resolved! Although the people I arranged were of no use, the kids handled it very well, even better than I expected!”

Upon saying this, Elder Pei felt somewhat emotional.

He had set up a scenario precisely to resolve the issues of the past on today’s occasion.

Unexpectedly, the people he prepared didn’t even have the chance to appear, and those troublesome relatives were already dealt with!

Elder Pei was somewhat relieved.

“After this, I can rest assured leaving the Pei Family in their hands, especially Pei Jue and Qingwu. Elder Shen, you have a wonderful granddaughter, and I am also grateful to you for giving me such a granddaughter!”

Elder Pei beckoned Shen Shaojia to come over to his side.

“Shaojia, your grandfather knows you dislike the intrigue and deceit, so I applied for a special project just for you. Both the Pei and Shen families will fund it, and you will be the sole person in charge of this project. From now on, you will call the shots for your team.”

“The lab will be located near your maternal grandfather’s house; it’s close to both of your grandfathers, but the ownership still lies above.”

Shen Shaojia is a tenured researcher. Elder Pei had intended to let her set up her own lab completely independently, but the higher-ups were unwilling to let her go, no matter what.

Shen Shaojia was somewhat surprised: “Grandfather…”

“The higher-ups said once your project produces results, you can be exceptionally promoted to a national scholar! Shaojia, do your best!”

To reach this extent, it’s not hard to imagine how much Elder Pei and Elder Shen had to navigate their connections, probably spending much of their time recently worrying about Shen Shaojia’s affairs!

Elder Shen smiled.

“You will always be a granddaughter of the Shen Family; you and Qingwu are the same in your grandfather’s heart.”

“The Shen Family is always your home!”

Shen Shaojia’s eyes brimmed with tears.

“I have so many homes now…”

Pei Jue, holding hands with Qingwu, cast a wary glance at Pei Zhengchi, who wasn’t far away.

“He is not a good person; stay away from him in the future.”

Qingwu happily agreed to Pei Jue’s suggestion.

“Okay.”

Shen Dongli was exchanging pleasantries with Pei Zhengchi, while Zuo Wanjun stayed by Elder Lady Pei’s side, who also wore a rare smile on her face.

Elder Pei sighed softly: “The matter regarding Feng Yin has not ended, but at least she can rest in peace now!”

Elder Shen snorted coldly.

“You always insist on saving face with those people, but in the end, it’s our own people who suffer. Do you now know who was behind it?”

Elder Pei nodded slightly, his eyes sharp.

“Ye Qilan huh! It’s been many years since our last confrontation; I wonder if he’s still as tough as before.”
