The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Meaning of the Engagement Is You Chapter 90: Chapter 90: The Meaning of the Engagement Is You “Grandmother’s health is very poor. Every time Sister Qingwu comes, she says some very harsh things. I don’t know why she treats Grandmother this way…”

Shen Yurou cried incessantly, looking particularly pitiful.

“President Pei, Grandmother is doing it for the good of the Shen Family. Whatever she says must be true, even though I know you don’t want to believe it. But Grandmother certainly wouldn’t lie to you…”

Pei Jue glanced coldly at Shen Yurou and Mrs. Shen, who was clutching her chest and groaning continuously.

“I only trust what I see.”

“I know very well what kind of person Qingwu is in my eyes. No one can slander her.”

After saying this, he opened the hospital room door, ready to leave without any hesitation.

He paid no mind to Mrs. Shen, who was pretending to be ill on the bed.

Mrs. Shen became anxious!

She hadn’t expected Pei Jue wouldn’t even give her this bit of face!

She had originally planned that as long as Pei Jue showed the slightest consideration for her feelings, and said some nice words while she feigned illness, she could conveniently place Yurou by his side.

Even if they couldn’t break off the engagement immediately, at least Yurou could stay by Pei Jue’s side every day.

Sooner or later, any man would fall for that!

The engagement would naturally become Yurou’s!

But Pei Jue left abruptly, his face frighteningly cold.

“What I said is the truth! That girl Qingwu stole a lot of my money!”

Pei Jue frowned. Just as he opened the hospital room door, he saw Qingwu standing at the entrance.

Today, she wore a light purple dress, matched with a pearl bag carefully selected by Zuo Wanjun, and porcelain-white shoes. Her long, curled eyelashes made her look as delicate and adorable as a doll.

Since her daughter returned home, Zuo Wanjun had fallen in love with the game of dressing her daughter, carefully selecting many outfits for Qingwu every day.

Just seeing Qingwu dressed up beautifully could make Zuo Wanjun smile all day.

The Lin Family was incredibly foolish to sever ties with such a wonderful daughter!

Pei Jue, worried that Qingwu might have heard Mrs. Shen’s slanderous words, closed the hospital room door behind him to shut out the outside world.

“Weren’t you supposed to visit Grandfather?”

Pei Jue felt a bit distressed.

If she had been standing at the door just now, she must have heard all those malicious words from Mrs. Shen.

Qingwu raised her chin, pointing to a few staff members standing nearby.

“They wouldn’t let me leave, saying they were worried that after you met with Grandma Shen, she might say something to me.”

Mrs. Shen’s plan indeed included forcing Qingwu to break off the engagement with Pei Jue on the spot.

Otherwise, she wanted Qingwu to agree to hand over the engagement to Shen Yurou.

Pei Jue took Qingwu’s hand and gave a cold glance at the staff members standing nearby.

Faced with Pei Jue’s murderous, icy gaze, the staffers all lowered their heads to look at their shoes…

When Mrs. Shen spoke, they dared to stop Miss Qingwu.

But with President Pei standing here, his mere presence made them tremble. They truly didn’t dare to stop him!

Pei Jue, holding Qingwu’s hand, left Mrs. Shen’s hospital room.

“Did you hear what Grandma Shen said just now?”

Qingwu nodded. In reality, she had already guessed most of what Mrs. Shen would say.

“Don’t mind what Grandma Shen said. I won’t agree to cancel the engagement with you. Little Wu, you should also know that if it wasn’t for finding out at the birthday banquet that my fiancée was you, this engagement would have been called off long ago.”

Pei Jue looked seriously at the girl in front of him, expressing his thoughts word by word.

“Little Wu, the previous significance of this engagement was to make the elders happy, but its current significance is because of you.”

“It’s because of you that this engagement still exists.”

Qingwu met his deep, gem-like eyes and understood his meaning.

If the engagement partner weren’t her, Pei Jue would definitely have canceled it.

As for Mrs. Shen’s plan to let Shen Yurou marry Pei Jue, it was completely delusional.

Qingwu’s face turned a little red, feeling a slight warmth…

Pei Jue reached out, handing her a blank check.

“What’s this for?”

“I can’t let my fiancée run out of money. I know the Shen Family gave you many bank cards, but my check can be cashed at any bank.”

Qingwu slightly furrowed her brows, her slender white fingers pinching the check with some confusion.

Pei Jue smiled, patting her head.

“Don’t overthink it. I didn’t believe a word of what Grandma Shen said.”

“Then why are you giving me a check?”

Pei Jue’s eyes seemed to be adorned with tiny stars.

“Is it not okay to give my little friend some pocket money?”

Pocket money…

She wasn’t really a little child!

Hearing their voices, Elder Pei had been waiting at the hospital room door early on.

The moment he saw Qingwu, Elder Pei dashed over in his hospital gown.

“Granddaughter-in-law! Grandpa really missed you! What are you two talking about here? Why are you standing in the hallway and not coming over?”

Seeing Elder Pei in such good spirits, Pei Jue knew his health had been quite well recently.

When Elder Pei saw the check in Qingwu’s hand, he let out a disdainful “ugh.”

“A check? You really have no sense when it comes to making girls happy. Who gives a check as a gift?”

Pei Jue helplessly pressed his forehead.

“It was just a little pocket money for Little Wu.”

Elder Pei nudged Pei Jue aside with his shoulder, gently leading Qingwu to browse through the hospital room.

“Pocket money? Listen here, after marrying into the Pei Family, our men have no money. All the money will be Little Wu’s, and you’ll be the one needing to receive pocket money.”

“Heh heh, Little Wu, from now on, you can decide how much allowance to give him, but don’t spoil him! You can fill in any amount on that check. This brat has plenty of money, so don’t worry about saving for him.”

Qingwu was a bit helpless.

Her marriage with Pei Jue wasn’t even a done deal yet.

But facing the elder, she couldn’t bring herself to refuse.

“Okay, I understand.”

Elder Pei grew fonder of Qingwu with each passing moment, even to the point of ignoring his own grandson.

Pei Jue watched the backs of Elder Pei and Qingwu, feeling a warmth in his heart.

Elder Pei, though often rigid and eccentric, had surprisingly taken a great liking to Qingwu, beyond Pei Jue’s expectations.

He had noticed Elder Pei eagerly waiting in the hallway, sensing the genuine affection the old man held for Qingwu.

Elder Pei awaited Qingwu with a primary intent.

“Little Wu, do you think Grandpa’s health is good enough now to make arrangements for discharge?”

Elder Shen’s voice came from the hospital room entrance.

“And how’s your health? You’ll be in the grave tomorrow! Get out of here and stop bothering my precious granddaughter! Go make your own son or daughter bear you a child!”

Elder Pei suddenly became energized.

“Hah! Shen Lisu! My son and daughter couldn’t produce such a wonderful granddaughter, but someday my grandson and granddaughter-in-law will give me an even better great-grandchild!”

While Elder Shen also yearned for the scene of four generations under one roof, his main focus now was still bickering with Elder Pei.

“If I don’t agree, you’ll never hold a great-grandchild in your lifetime.”

Elder Pei immediately charged forward.

“Just you wait! Today, I’m going all out with you!”
