"Alright." Baili Jia Jue let out a cunning smile.
Thinking that His Highness appeared rather pitiable, Helian Wei Wei leaned forward and stroked his hair.
Baili Jia Jue took the opportunity to hug her in an extremely gentle manner. " Are you feeling tired?"
"Yes." Helian Wei Wei was worn out. She had been occupied for the entire night. Lying in his arms, her eyelids began to feel heavy.
Baili Jia Jue reached out to pat her on her back as though she was his pet. His eyes were filled with affection and care as he stared at her. "Then, take a good rest."
"But, your hand…" Helian Wei Wei said languidly.
Baili Jia Jue kissed her on her ear. "I will change the dressing myself. Don't worry. Go to sleep."
"Remember. Do not leave the house." Understanding His Highness' temperament, Helian Wei Wei reminded him again.
Baili Jia Jue's pat on her back gentled. "Fine. I will not go out." Living in this modern era, he did not have to leave the house to settle his business. He only needed to make a phone call. Hehe. Living in the modern era isn't all that bad.
After being assured, Helian Wei Wei immediately fell asleep.
Baili Jia Jue did not go anywhere as he continued to pat the woman in his arm with his left hand. The sunlight pierced through the window and shone on the couple, forming a beautiful scene.
It was merely a catnap. She had not been asleep for long before her mobile phone began to ring.
Helian Wei Wei was awakened by the ringtone. Seeing Baili Jia Jue was still sitting beside her, she sniffed at the man and realized that the metallic pungent smell of blood no longer lingered in the air. Then, she grabbed her mobile phone.
Helian Wei Wei continued to lie on top of him silently as she scrolled on the phone.
Once Baili Jia Jue lowered his gaze, he was able to see the content that was shown on the screen. Immediately, his eyes sparkled. "A class reunion?"
"Yes." Helian Wei Wei let out a nonchalant yawn. "There's a reunion every year, but I've never been to any of them. Nevertheless, a class reunion is basically a competition. They spend the entire gathering to find out who's wealthier and who has a better husband. I believe that it'll be the same this time too."
"I see." Baili Jia Jue deepened his gaze before he chuckled. There was a gleam in his eyes. "Do you want me to attend the reunion with you?"
"That's not necessary. Usually, their partners don't follow them to the reunion." Helian Wei Wei was going to attend the reunion to handle some issues. She had no intention of bringing His Highness along. Besides, she wanted to keep the beautiful man at home for herself. She did not want anyone else to covet this handsome man.
Baili Jia Jue did not persist. Instead, his grin grew broader before he spoke, "Then, give me a call when you're done. I'll pick you up."
"Sure." Helian Wei Wei nodded. She glanced at her phone to check the time of the gathering. The gathering would be held at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow. She reckoned that her classmates probably wanted to grab some coffee before dinner. Therefore, they set the venue at Starbucks, which was very near to Little Qingchen's kindergarten. She could pick up the two boys for lunch and send them back to school before attending the appointment.
Helian Wei Wei did not expect to see Little Shangxie in a different outfit when she woke up the next day. He had learned to think that the small leather jacket was no longer cool. Now, he was wearing a rather peculiar all-black outfit, as though he hailed from hell. Besides, he also painted his nails black. He appeared more handsome than usual, carrying a haughty look on his face. It was an arrogance that was found specially on an individual of the demon realm. He looked exactly like a little demon.
"What are you doing?" Helian Wei Wei was immediately awakened.
Baili Jia Jie, who was tying his necktie, leaned forward to plant a kiss on her forehead. "He's going to the demon realm for half a day."
"Yes." Baili Shangxie replied in a charismatic manner. There was a hint of disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e in his tone. However, that did not stop him from feeding his younger brother with a tiny spoon.
Helian Wei Wei knew that little demons, who had yet to grow up, were supposed to return to the demon realm occasionally to absorb some dark Qi. Then, only they were able to withstand the light in the human world.
However, she felt sorry for her son. She reached out to pull Shangxie toward her before she pecked him on the cheek. Then, she stuffed a lot of chocolates into his pocket before she finally let him go.
The demons that came to pick him thought that the little master was especially amiable today!
Before this, the little master would never return to the demon realm obediently without destroying every item around him.
Things were obviously different today. The little master would grope his tiny pocket for every step he took. Back then, he would always beat up all the magical beings he met. However, he was not bothered by them today. He merely threw a cold glance at them. Despite his small size, he carried an domineering air as though he was the King of the demon realm.
There were countless magical beings at his heels. All of them were relieved for no longer being the little master's personal punching bag.
They did not foresee to be immediately troubled by another greater issue. The little master had suddenly gained an unexpected interest in jewelry. He wanted to bring back everything he saw to his brother.
All the magical beings were fl.u.s.tered. You're trying to empty the entire demon realm!
Chapter 965 - Class Reunion (Part 1)
Little Qingchen initially wanted to go to school with his elder brother. He held his head up high and sat upright, holding a pen in hand as he took down passages for dictation in his book.
He wrote for a while, sometimes swiveling his head to peek at his brother's seat. It's vacant. Then, he turned his head back around and focused on his work again, seeming like a well-behaved student.
Baili Shangxie had told him that once school was over in the afternoon and mealtime was done with, he would come with Baili Jia Jue to pick him up.
Little Qingchen remembered those words, and would periodically turn around to glance behind him.
Midday arrived and Little Qingchen, as usual, would open up his school bag to retrieve the food that was packed for him. With bulging cheeks, he gulped down the bottle of milk that Pretty Wei Wei had prepared for him, before reaching for his lunch box with his small hands.
Ever since Helian Wei Wei had become a mother, it was a routine that she would never let slip from her mind.
Perhaps, it was because she grew up without her parents.
Thus, when Helian Wei Wei took care of Little Qingchen, she would always be especially attentive in certain aspects. Meals would always be prepared well and placed beautifully in a small lunch box. She would even make some warm soup for him to drink.
Little Qingchen, who had only been to school for a few days, soon became the subject of envy among his fellow classmates.
The dishes were so impressive, even the greens and mushrooms that they disliked were cut into adorable shapes by Helian Wei Wei.
Little Fatty Cheng was unimpressed, and his fat face twisted into a sneer as he mocked, "You can't afford to buy lunch, so you need to bring one from home. A country bumpkin will always be a country bumpkin."
After learning his lesson from the previous time, Little Fatty Cheng no longer dared to approach Little Qingchen, nor raise a hand against him. He could only keep his distance and taunt him with a quip or two.
The young children in the kindergarten had yet to figure out the connection between Baili Shangxie and Little Qingchen.
If Little Fatty Cheng found it out, he definitely would not dare to provoke Little Qingchen, as he feared Baili Shangxie. He may be surrounded by many classmates, but Little Fatty Cheng knew that many of the children in this kindergarten wanted Baili Shangxie to be their boss.
Mother had promised him previously. Wait for another two days and she will get rid
of the two eyesores from my sight, especially the country bumpkin in front of me. He's poor and pretentious. He had disliked him from the moment that he laid eyes on him. He may be handsome, but he still hated him for always stealing the limelight.
Little Qingchen simply ignored him. He was waiting for his brother and had no d.e.s.i.r.e to speak to anyone.
Little Fatty Cheng saw this and his mood was instantly lifted. He was very arrogant because of his wealthy family, so he turned to the other children in his class and announced, "My mom will be here in a Range Rover in a while, to pick me up and go to Starbucks for some good food. Who wants to eat Starbucks' butter cake? I won't mind bringing some back for you."
The children loved eating sweets. When they heard the words 'butter cake', their mouths began to drool.
Little Fatty Cheng was quickly surrounded by a crowd of admirers. He greatly enjoyed this feeling of being worshipped, and cast a brief look of contempt toward Qingchen. Then, he took a mental note of those who usually surrounded him, to make sure to let the driver bring the food over later.
The children who could afford to attend an international school tended to m.a.t.u.r.e faster than an average child under normal circ.u.mstances. This was because family backgrounds were likely to be similar. With the exception of a small percentage of children who lived within the school's district, every household had a driver of their own. This was the reason that Little Fatty Cheng scorned Little Qingchen. He was under the impression that Little Qingchen's household was impoverished and was only relying on the goodwill of the family to attend this school.
One could obviously tell, the two had very different beliefs when it came to befriending others.
It was true that Little Qingchen was quite introverted and disliked socializing with his classmates. However, he treated those around him equally, and no matter what the other party's family background was, he would still converse with them.
On the other hand, Little Fatty Cheng had taken after his family's pattern of behavior. However, it was not that bad. After all, people with families of similar backgrounds were more likely to become true friends. However, bullying others because of one's family's wealth was unwarranted and outrageous.
Little Qingchen would rarely interact with this kind of person. A single glance would be enough to know that the person was a fool.
After he had finished his milk, he dragged four reapers to accompany him to go on a stroll in the classroom.
The reapers should be allowed to roam for a little while every day, so they would not always try to escape.
Reapers were dumbfounded by his action… Who gave you this sort of wrong impression, who?
Little Fatty Cheng had no clue what Little Qingchen was doing, arrogantly presuming that a country bumpkin would always be a country bumpkin, and only knew how to play by himself.
Little Qingchen glanced down at his smartwatch and thought to himself. Brother and father would be here in another four and a half hours. Hmm. Great, I shall take a quick nap…
When Little Qingchen had decided to rest, a gentle chuckle reached his ears from outside the classroom door, saying, "Son, why are you sitting all the way at the back?"
Little Qingchen lifted his small head and his big, bright eyes shone with glee when his gaze landed on Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei sauntered in, pulling her son into her embrace, saying, "Are you hungry? Should I take you out to eat?"
"There are still classes in the afternoon," Little Qingchen reminded his mother like a responsible a.d.u.l.t.
Helian Wei Wei reacted in a nonchalant manner as she said, "Just skip the class."
Little Qingchen's teacher happened to be standing right behind Helian Wei Wei at that moment. Her face darkened as she wondered to herself. Who would teach their children like this?
Of course, Little Qingchen was quick-witted and instantly made up an excuse. He blinked his large beautiful eyes, as he explained that today was his father's birthday and his mother had come to pick him up to plan a surprise for his father.
Every time the teacher's gaze landed on Little Qingchen's fair and unblemished cheeks, her heart immediately softened. Little Qingchen had even lowered his voice on purpose, making others want to hold him tight in their embrace and buy him candy.
With that, the mother and son successfully got the afternoon off. Their outstanding looks began to attract the attention of many surrounding children in the vicinity.
The little children that recognized Little Qingchen, started to gather around them, fervently asking, "Qingchen, is this your mother? She's so pretty."
Little Qingchen really liked it when others complimented pretty Wei Wei. He nodded in agreement and graced his little friends with a rare smile.
Helian Wei Wei was even more gentle and soft, as she turned around and said goodbye to them.
In a spur of a moment, the children began to feel envious of Helian Qingchen.
Little Fatty Cheng only felt disdained as he said, "What's so admirable about a mechanic who fixes cars? My mother is way more beautiful and has a good educational background. She works at a courthouse too, and is far better than her by a hundred times."
"But, I think Qingchen's mother is prettier," the classroom's little princess mumbled, her face flushed a faint pink. "She's also very tall, her legs are slender, she's even prettier than the celebrities on the television."
The children of age were truly the most innocent, so their reactions were also the most honest.
Little Fatty Cheng was rebutted in such a way that he felt aggrieved. When Madam Cheng finally showed up, his face distorted in resentment as he muttered angrily, "Mom, when are you going to make the bumpkin go away, I get so irritated when I see him!"
Chapter 966 - Class Reunion (Part 2)
"Didn't I tell you last time? He's the son of my old classmate. I'll make sure that I will deal with them properly for you, after I'm done with my business," Li Meng comforted her son while driving the car. The classmates' gathering had not started yet. Once it was over, she would make Helian Wei Wei and her little bumpkin disappear from their sight. For her, it was an eyesore for a lowly mechanic like Helian Wei Wei to appear in front of her son every day.
Little Fatty Cheng was still displeased and said, "That woman came to our class today. Everyone says that she looks prettier than you..."
Screech!
The tires rubbed across the ground forcefully, as she forcefully stepped on the brake in fury. The resulting noise was loud and rather ear-piercing.
Li Meng turned her head around to look at Little Fatty Cheng and furiously said, "Prettier than me? How can she even compare with me, with that hideous face of hers?"
Little Fatty Cheng was obviously frightened by his mother's fierce expression. Even so, he was still angry and added, "It's not me, it's all the people in my class!"
Li Meng lowered her eyes and laughed, saying, "The children in your Year One class are too young and don't understand anything at all. Mom will go to the class reunion in a while. Let's not attend class this afternoon. Follow me to the reunion and watch how I embarrass that woman!"
Li Meng could not stand it the most when others said that Helian Wei Wei was better than her, in any aspect.
Let's not talk about how she always bullied me in school.
Look at the state of her now, how dare she compare herself with me?
Little Fatty Cheng had been completely raised by his mother into a vain and narcissistic child. When he heard that his mother was going to teach that person a lesson, he was beside himself with joy. When he returned to class, he would immediately tell his classmates that his mother was actually the most beautiful one!
Li Meng did not continue driving immediately. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and pondered for a moment, before making a call to Du Sisi who was on good terms with her, "Are you ready? I'll pick you up if you are ready. Someone just asked in the group, Helian Wei Wei is near Starbucks."
Du Sisi laughed and said,
"I don't need you to pick me up. I still have something business to deal with. Once I'm done, I'll come over. I haven't seen that woman for so many years. We should let her know that she is no longer that arrogant talented law student. She's just a mechanic, doing a lowly and dishonorable job."
"That's right, how can she compare herself with Attorney Sisi?" Li Meng chuckled and her eyes sank as she added, "Sure, I'll wait for your call. It will be a lot less fun if you don't come."
Du Sisi understood her intention well and replied, "I understand, Mrs. Cheng. Before I go, you should first show off the jewelry that you have and let her know her place. If she has no shame, we'll just expose her when the entire class is there. It'll be an exciting show."
"That is exactly what I have in mind." Li Meng said a few more words before hanging up. Her mood became better, as she wore an obviously disdainful expression on her face. Helian Wei Wei, heh, so what if you have a beautiful face? Not only that she's just a mechanic, but she's also bringing up a child alone without a husband. That is enough to fully embarrass her in front of everyone!
Du Sisi actually shared the same thoughts as Li Meng, she desperately wanted to go early and put Helian Wei Wei in her lowly place.
However, her uncle wanted to bring her to see someone important today.
There was no one in the business district who did not know about this man. He was a very wealthy but mysterious individual, and all the entertainment projects in the Capital were under his control.
Even Uncle's eyes glimmered with respect and admiration when mentioning him.
Furthermore, her famous female friends who had seen him before were absolutely smitten by his ethereal beauty. They were eaten up with jealousy when they heard that she was meeting 'Young Master Jue' today.
Her uncle had arranged for her to wait in the guest room, on the first floor of the building.
Three hours had passed since the morning. Her uncle had reminded her to stay put in the room, as he would introduce her to him at Jue Wei Corporation when he arrived.
