Helian Wei Wei smiled: "It is inevitable for there to be misunderstandings in the business world. However, your son seems to look down on me, and thinks that I only have one business deal, and that is with Li Family."
"No! Absolutely Not!" Official Li gulped and explained: "This business deal is not with the Li Family, it is between Boss Wei and the Retired Emperor. We really value this business deal."
Helian Wei Wei glanced at him: "If this is the case, then let Master Li express his sincerity."
Official Li reached out and pulled his son to the side, his face full of rage: "Hurry up and apologize to Boss Wei!"
Master Li feared his father more than anything else, his face was pale as a ghost, all the arrogance had left his demeanor: "Wei, Boss Wei, I am wrong."
"You're voice is too soft, I can't hear properly." Helian Wei Wei was sat in the wooden chair lazily, she gazed upwards and pointed to the busybodies: "Tell them loud and clear, who is in charge of this business deal."
Master Li faced everyone and stuttered: "It…. it's Profound Heaven."
"Very good. It looks like Master Li finally knows his position." Helian Wei Wei stood up and looked at Manager Zhang beside her: "Continue the business with the Li Family. However, if what happened today were to recur, then put the Li Family straight into the blacklist, and let know that this is how Profound Heaven does business, based on how they feel."
"Yes." Manager Zhang bowed slightly.
Helian Wei Wei said indifferently: "Okay, since this has been resolved, I will go in with my friends first. The auction is about to start. Make sure all the people who look down on Profound Heaven are turned away at the door."
"Yes." Manager Zhang waved his hands to signal the guards.
Helian Jiao Er and Madam Su could not believe that things would develop this way. Eunuch Sun not only did not take this vile Helian Wei Wei away, but Official Li personally apologized to her and was so polite and humble, which was unlike his usual demeanor.
At that moment, Madam Su felt that the person in front of Helian Wei Wei slapping himself was not Official Li, but was herself! Helian Jiao Er was so angered that she gripped the white handkerchief in her hand tightly. The sinking feeling she felt in her c.h.e.s.t was indescribable. She was supposed to be the center of attention today, and it was easy enough to enter Profound Heaven. Besides, other than her, she could not think of anyone else who was able to win the armaments. But now, she is in a position where she was about to be chased away!
Chapter 224 - Too Late For Regrets
"Mother..." Helian Jiao Er was anxious, there were not only the prominent ladies of the capital here, but also the students who attended the same Academy as her, she was utterly humiliated. "Mother, we can't go! I don't believe that with my current status, I can't even enter a small auction! I won't go!"
After she heard this, Helian Wei Wei sneered aloud: "Old Zhang, did you hear that?"
"I heard it." Manager Zhang stared chillingly at Helian Jiao Er. He took his hat off to this so-called Capitol's Number One Beauty and Genius. She was being chased away, and yet she still would not budge. She was really thick-skinned.
Helian Wei Wei's eyes were cold: "What are you waiting for, beat them!"
SWISH!
The stick flew through the air! Everyone was shocked. The masked soldiers caused panic!
That is!
Recently, some mercenaries had tailor-made armaments that no one else had. Their whereabouts were a mystery and commissioning fee extortionate. They did not entrust the armaments to anyone easily. Was it possible that these armaments belong to Helian Wei Wei?
Everyone shook their eyes in disbelief and wanted to retreat in shock.
Helian Jiao Er refused to let it go and tried to intercept the armament, but Madam Su grabbed her hand: "Jiao Er! Stop!"
"Mother, don't tell me that you can stomach what's happened!" Helian Jiao Er sneered: "What mysterious mercenary group, working for that useless person, even if there were ten of them they are still no match for me!"
Madam Su knew there was no way to convince her, with annoyance in her voice she pointed at her head: "How could you be so stupid, just like my third sister. Just think, if you were to make a move, what will the world say about you! Just because you aren't allowed to enter, you have to cause such a scene to go in!"
"Mother, I..." Helian Jiao Er's eyes were red, teardrops fell, but her hatred was clear: " I just can't bear to let this go!"
Upon seeing her beloved daughter in this state, her face was hot with anger and her heart was hurting with pain. But she had to endure it all. She grabbed Helian Jiao Er's arm and walked forwards. Her fingers twisted tightly together. This was the first time she had ever been chased out of a store, and yet she had to endure and not be enraged.
This was all because of Helian Wei Wei!
That vile spawn!
"Who gave you permission to leave?"
The chilling voice drifted to her ears.
Su Yan Mo didn't react, but saw a flash before her eyes. Helian Wei Wei stood right in front of her and blocked her path effortlessly, her long hair not even out of place.
Su Yan Mo did not possess any martial qi, and it was because she had no martial qi, she set her eyes on the bloodline upon marrying into the Helian family. It was not fair that her daughter had nothing, and yet that s.l.u.t's daughter was born a genius! She refused to accept the fact, hence she used that s.l.u.t's blood to make an elixir for her own daughter and meticulously educated her.
That was how Helian Jiao Er's status came about.
When Helian Wei Wei blocked her path, it was as if that s.l.u.t was alive again and came for her life. Su Yan Mo's body shook uncontrollably.
Helian Jiao Er shouted angrily: "Helian Wei Wei, don't you dare bully us!"
"You came to my territory, created a scene and even refused to apologise. So let me ask you who is the bully now?" Helian Wei Wei sneered.
Helian Jiao Er remember her mother's advice earlier, controlled her anger: "Elder sister, I never meant to cause so much friction between us."
"Really?" Helian Wei Wei smirked and said slyly: "That was not what you just said."
Helian Jiao Er bit her lip: "I was foolish before."
"What did you say? Speak louder." Helian Wei Wei put her hands to her ear.
Helian Jiao Er held her hands tightly and took a deep breath: "I was foolish before."
"If you were foolish, then let your Madam Su educate you properly. Don't always take what belongs to others and make a habit out of it, thinking that everything in the world belongs to you." Helian Wei Wei said succinctly.
With a smile frozen on her face, Su Yan Mo looked at the stares of the people who surrounded them. She could bear it no longer, and pulled Helian Jiao Er into the sedan with her.
Upon seeing Su Yan Mo's departure, the relatives who had wanted to enter the auction with Su Yan Mo looked towards Helian Wei Wei: " I say, Wei Wei, you are indeed skillful."
"Yes yes!" Someone said immediately and looked at Helian Wei Wei with flattery: "Wei Wei, this Aunty of yours here and myself have never spoken ill of you."
Helian Wei Wei turned with a smile on her face: "Indeed you did not speak ill of me earlier."
"Then you see, since we have already arrived, the position in the auction….." that person continued with a sweet smile.
Helian Wei Wei looked upwards thoughtfully: "However, you seem to have forgotten that you had a hand in banishing me from my family."
That person's face was white as a ghost: " That, that matter..."
"We were not willing parties in that matter. After all, it was the Four elder masters who made the final decision." The lady at the side explained fervently.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows: "Unwilling? If you were unwilling, then why did you ridicule me when you saw me after my banishment?"
"I, we..." The couple tried to explain further.
Helian Wei Wei wasted no more time on this nonsense and coldly said two wor
ds: "Go away!"
"Yes." Manager Zhang stretched out his hand and blocked their way.
The couple's stood there like as if they were struck by thunder. Upon being refused entry, they showed resentment and jealousy was oozing from their expressions!
Eunuch Sun who was by Helian Wei Wei's side, smiled and said: " Missy, old slave is here to pass along a message from the Retired Emperor. It was not convenient for him to make an appearance, hence he sent me out here, please do not take offence my lady."
"Eunuch Sun, oh please don't worry." Helian Wei Wei smiled and reverted to her courteous self: "I know what you want to say Eunuch Sun, may I ask you to go back and let the Retired Emperor know that, as long as there is a lot of money, Profound Heaven will make sure that the armaments will be made to a high standard."
As the floating dust settled on Eunuch Sun's hand, he said: "Then this old slave shall take his leave. I would like to wish Missy's auction to be extremely successful."
"I shall take Eunuch Sun's blessing." Helian Wei Wei smiled and ordered the servants around: "Show Eunuch Sun the way out."
"Yes."
After the departure of Eunuch Sun.
Chen Yifeng spoke with worry: "Boss, this matter today went well. However, from now on, things may not run as smoothly as before. The people from the Defence Division alone will not let this matter go. They did not retaliate today because Eunuch Sun was present. Once you have made the Retired Emperor's armament, they will even more jealous. After all you have no one to back you up. There is still the Li Family and Wu Family, they are all part of the four powerful families. Now that you have offended them, I'm afraid that the future in the Capitol will be difficult. I am afraid that something might happen. Why don't I stay by your side over the next few days to protect you?"
Chapter 225 - His Highness Enlightened
"No need." Helian Wei Wei touched her wrist and smiled with little care: "I can handle it myself, don't worry. The auction is about to start, you all should go to sit in the places I have reserved. I need to deal with another matter first."
Chen Yifeng felt uneasy about it. However, Manager Zhang has already politely led them away.
Upstairs in the teahouse, Eunuch Sun reported back Helian Wei Wei's message to the Grand Emperor. The Grand Emperor was sat back in his original place, watching the screaming Official Li, and had lost all interest in the auction. With a wave of his hand, he left Baili Jia Jue to take care of matter, and left for the palace with the guards. Official Li breathed a sigh of relief and figured that since the Grand Master did not say anything more, the matter today was over.
However, he had forgotten that if was up to his Highness, there would only be two situations. One, his Highness would have completely no interest whatsoever, the Official Li can praise his ancestors and burn them incense as an offering. The other situation would be that his Highness was very interested in the matter, then it is still congratulatory as there are not many matters that his Highness would take an interest in. The result would be to go and join his ancestors immediately.
Sure enough, just as Eunuch Sun thought.
The cold and clear voice of Baili Jia Jue rang out: "Behead him, take him elsewhere to do it, don't get blood everywhere. It's dirty."
"Yes."
Their shadows were like ghosts, Official Li and his son never had the chance to say a word and were dragged out of the teahouse. The rest of the officials present were stunned and immediately converged their hands and feet.
Baili Jia Jue was still sat at the main table, he looked up and said: "And the Wu family."
"Wu family?" Someone spoke up puzzled, whispers, the Wu family did not speak so how did they offend the Third Prince?
Baili Jia Jue laughed coldy: "How he broke his leg, I think I know better than you all do. He was dishonest in the military. Upon his discharge from the military he dares to dream of taking a wife. He should have known better than to make this mistake. Castrate him and throw him in jail."
Eunuch Sun: "...." He thought the matter had blown over, but it seemed his Highness had not forgotten.
Some of the people found this matter strange, the Grand Emperor never used to have an entourage accompany him when he attended. But this year, the Murong family, Yuan family and their subordinates Li and Wu family all received the order to accompany him at the last minute. Come to think of it now, this was all an illusion, it was set up.
However, this did not seem like something that the Grand Emperor would do. If he wanted to behead someone, he usually just gave the order. He wouldn't use such an unscrupulous method. Who was the mastermind of this scheme? The rest of them who were left, the Murong and Wu clan were puzzled and felt a deep unease in their hearts. The whole time Baili Jia Jue had held on to the teacup, with an expression of indifference in his face.
Eunuch Sun looked at his master, it seemed like those who have fallen today, were the people who have angered Eldest Miss at the White Academy.
No, no it couldn't be!
Could it be that the rage of the crown? Eunuch Sun choked at his own thoughts and could not stop coughing. This was an appropriate thought about his Highness.
Although, was this not a bit too late? Eunuch Sun face looked at Baili Jia Jue questioningly.
Baili Jia Jue raised his eyebrows, his voice light: "It takes time to get rid of the roots."
So his Highness's feelings for Eldest Miss...
Before he could speak, Baili Jia Jue stood up holding a pair of peach blossoms and his looked outside. Shadow instructed: "Go and find out which seat she has reserved for herself."
"Yes." And disappeared into the auction house.
Night was slowly approaching. The auction officially started.
However, after his meticulous plan to go on a date in secret, Master Hei saw the person beside him and said: "How is it you?"
"Why would it not be me?" Helian Wei Wei swayed the wine glass in her hand and chuckled: " Hey, isn't this is a great place, for a couple to come and talk about love."
Hei Ze's eyebrows creased and felt that the question had to be explained: "Hey, listen to me Wei Wei. Although I admire you, I have no feelings for you whatsoever."
Helian Wei Wei's smile froze, as if insulted: "Then why did you say you will marry me?"
"That was because..." Hei Ze tugged at his long hair, and felt sudden remorse. It was not an easy task that he was able to sneak out under the watchful eyes of his father today. It was all so he could spend time with that silly girl. So how did he meet Wei Wei instead?
Hei Ze felt deep remorse in his heart, but he was afraid that he would hurt Helian Wei Wei's feelings were he to be honest with her. He thought for a long time but could not say it.
Helian Wei Wei had a trick up her sleeve. She tilted her head to one side and made a noise like she was weeping: "So you have been lying to me all this while, and to think my feelings for you were sincere."
Hei Ze was stunned. All this time he had known Helian Wei Wei, she was always calm and collected. He had never seen her cry.
"I, I, I..." Hei Ze sat down dejectedly and put his hand on her hair: " I am a bastard."
He had intended come clean to her. However, this scenario looked to bystanders like a couple who had just had an argument and made up.
Eunuch Sun snorted, turned around and headed back.
The silver mask of expression on Baili Jia Jue's face looked even colder than ever. His eyebrows creased as he frowned slightly, his ivory fingers tightly gripped onto the peach blossoms he had intended to give to Helian Wei Wei. The cold beauty he exhibited could not mask the feeling of destruction he felt. At that moment, the air around him was so cold that even his laugh made people shiver.
Through the noisy crowd, Baili Jia Jue watched as his prey, she who was supposed to be with him was talking about love with another man. Because of this, Baili Jia Jue's heart was in shock, sorrow spread through him that he could not explain. Was he going to lose his martial qi again?
Oh, so what.
Chapter 226 - Belong Only to Him
Yes, she did not fancy him, she even said after their marriage he was free to be with someone else. That was because she already fancied Hei Ze.
If he were to let her go now, he was sure that in time, Old Master Hei would agree to their marriage. She will slowly forget about him, her master while she basked in her happy life. Of course, before she settled down with another man, he could make her stay with him forever.
Baili Jia Jue was always calm and elegant. However, in this moment, he had lost all reason.
Snap!
The sound of a chair moving.
Baili Jia Jue had already strode over to Hei Ze's back, blocked him, and pulled Helian Wei Wei up with one hand. He could hardly control himself and was about to reveal to the public his true colours. Helian Wei Wei was about to ask Hei Ze why he shoved her, when she heard Hei Ze say in surprise: "Third Prince?!"
Helian Wei Wei raised her head immediately and saw who had held her. Baili Jia Jue's eyes were dark with anger, and he stared frostily at Hei Ze. Of all the people in the world, the one he stared at had to be the one who did not fear him.
Hei Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled widely: "Your Highness, have you also heard about our auction and come to join us on this special occasion?"
"Hei Ze, go back first. I have some matters to discuss with Third Prince." Helian Wei Wei wanted to lure him away. After all, the Third Prince had said before that he did not want to see her with Hei Ze, and she violated that condition of the contract.
At this point, realisation hit Hei Za, he pointed at Helian Wei Wei: "You are not crying, you were just fooling me!"
Baili Jia Jue listened to the bickering of those two people, the smile on the corners of his lips were frozen. He had not given Helian Wei Wei a chance to speak but instead embraced her into his arms and pulled her into the elegant room at the side. All the armaments at the auction seemed to be shaken by a big force and a faint light shone from them all.
