The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  At that moment, Du Sisi and Li Meng's faces turned pale as though they were completely drained out of the blood. Other than the two of them, the others who made fun of Helian Wei Wei for being a mechanic as a result of failing to obtain a degree paled in shock as well.

  Besides, they used to mock Helian Wei Wei with the story of Du Sisi ordering coffee in English previously. They assumed that she was merely a country bumpkin who had limited knowledge.

  However, once they heard Helian Wei Wei speaking eloquently in English, they realized that something seemed to be wrong.

  Nevertheless, this was not the end of the story!

  On top of that, they never expected that Helian Wei Wei had already started filing lawsuits in America when she was still studying!

  Even if Du Sisi was excellent in this industry, she did not seem to be qualified for law firms in America!

  It was clear that their capabilities were miles apart even without comparison.

  Du Sisi gritted her teeth and tried not to show her look of embarrassment.

  However, the malevolent Little Qingchen would definitely not let go of this opportunity. He reached out his tiny hand to grab his elder brother while pointing his finger at Du Sisi. "That lady wanted Mom to work as an assistant in her company. She even thought of introducing a useless man in her company to Mom. She perceived herself as someone who is more capable than Mom just because Mom doesn't have academic qualifications."

  Such a childlike voice sounded obvious like making a complaint.

  Baili Shangxie stretched out his hand to pat his younger brother's head and replied coolly, "Id*ot."

  "I think so too," Little Qingchen nodded obediently upon uttering those words.

  The two little ones were not soft-hearted when it came to protecting Helian Wei Wei.

  At that instant, Du Sisi wished that she could slip into a hole on the ground.

  She could feel her face burning red but she had no choice but to force a smile at Professor Yuan who was staring at her with his brow furrowed as she tried to explain herself. "I thought Wei Wei was living a tough life so I thought of finding her a job. Who knows she is so secretive. Ah, it seems like I was being too nosy. I didn't know that Wei Wei is so outstanding."

  Li Meng intended to help Du Sisi out of her predicament since they were on the same boat. "Yes, that's right. Sisi was just being nice. She didn't mean to impose on Wei Wei. Qingchen, you're still young. So, it's hard for you to understand the relationsh.i.p.s between old classmates. We tend to lend a hand when we realize that someone is not doing well in life. Now that we know Wei Wei is so capable, we're happy for her, too."

  Li Meng was the only one that knew how insincere she meant with her words.

  They had intended to ridicule and tear down Helian Wei Wei's reputation during this class reunion.

  Moreover, they also wanted to make it clear to Professor Yuan that it was such a big mistake for him to not accept Sisi as his disciple!

  They did not expect that they were the ones that would have been tied down like that!

  Not only did Helian Wei Wei not disappoint Professor Yuan, but due to the presence of Robert, Professor Yuan's face was filled with satisfaction toward Helian Wei Wei. Even their classmates had also changed their way of looking at them. All of them fixed their gaze at Helian Wei Wei, Sisi and her.

  As a result of this, Li Meng could feel her c.h.e.s.t being enveloped with raging jealousy.

  Isn't she just an attorney?

  Even if she is not a mechanic, she could not compare with Sisi at present because they have different men!

  Upon reaching a conclusion about this, Li Meng seemed to have calmed down. She could not be bothered by the looks others gave her as all she focused on was to shoot a glance at Du Sisi.

  Du Sisi was smart so she altered her mood almost immediately and spoke to Helian Wei Wei, "Wei Wei, I said so because I really wanted to help you. Also, I was not aware of your actual situation. I hope you won't blame me for that, will you?"

  That phrase was commonly used in real life.

  'I hope you won't blame me for that, will you?' was a phrase that a woman who had stolen their best friend's boyfriend would say after they caused pain to others.

  Such a way of seeking sympathy could easily be accepted. Even if it might not be accepted by the parties involved, it would cause the surrounding people to be more tolerant of this issue.

  "Wei Wei, we're old classmates after all and Sisi surely didn't mean any harm."

  In fact, everyone was clear of what they really meant with those words. However, no one would want to create a huge commotion on such an occasion due to certain insignificant remarks, especially with Du Sisi's current identity and reputation.

  Helian Wei Wei stopped him because everyone knew that a strong person like Helian Wei Wei would never allow an old man to stand up for her.

  After all, she liked to settle her business on her own...

  Chapter 985 - Third Step To Losing One’s Reputation

  Before Helian Wei Wei could even do anything, the two children stood in front of her and blocked her path with tacit understanding.

  "Once lies are exposed, they can be very disgusting." The person who voiced out was Baili Shangxie. He was wearing a small leather jacket and his face was cool. He was just a child but when he smiled, it gave off an aura of inexplicable evilness.

  Du Sisi found it funny when she heard that. Even if she had guessed Helian Wei Wei's job wrongly and had intended to embarrass her, how was that a lie?

  "I have already explained myself just now. This is all a misunderstanding." Du Sisi broke into laughter as she reached out to pat Baili Shangxie's head.

  Baili Shangxie dodged as he carried his younger brother and took a step backward. His eyes were fixed on Du Sisi, making it clear that he refused to have contact with her.

  When it came to this point, Du Sisi was better than anyone at pretending as though nothing had happened even if she had embarrassed herself.

  Taking now as an example, after Baili Shangxie avoided her touch, she did not back away immediately. Instead, she simply turned her head to face Helian Wei Wei while smiling. "Look, Wei Wei. It seems like they are still holding a grudge against me. Alright, it's my bad. I'll cover the bill today to treat it as making amends for the inconvenience I have caused to you."

  "Wei Wei, since Sisi has already expressed her apology, let's not give her a hard time." Li Meng turned to the surrounding classmates as she uttered, "It's such a great p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e to meet our lecturer today, not to mention that we have a special guest as well. Let's just enjoy our time here." As she was speaking, she tugged Du Sisi's arm. "Sisi, ask them to serve the food now. We know that you mean well even though you have a sharp tongue sometimes. Based on your family background and appearance, I believe you are close to marrying into Jue Wei Group. Besides, you always like to worry about others. Look, it's causing misunderstanding now."

  Du Sisi felt wronged. "I never thought that others would think of me that way."

  "These are just child talks so don't take it too seriously. Wei Wei still cares about you, isn't it?" Li Meng looked toward Helian Wei Wei and slowly showing a smile on her face. "Let's talk about something else. We still don't know much about our boyfriend. Now that our lecturer is here too, maybe you can share with us about his occupation."

  The aforementioned Baili Jia Jue had been sitting on a wooden chair with his slender fingers playing with something. It seemed like he had not spoken a single word since just now.

  However, even so, his presence was not exploited in the slightest.

  Upon hearing Li Meng's words, Baili Jia Jue smirked while placing the thing in his hand on the table.

  If Li Meng were to find out the thing in his hand, then she would not be so foolish to have asked such a question.

  However, it was obvious that the Cheng family was wealthy but they were good for nothing when it came to upbringing.

  Regardless of how many luxury products th
ey could afford to buy, they could never lay their hands on Italian brands. Hence, they surely would not recognize that the plain lighter that Baili Jia Jue was holding in his hand earlier cost about the same price as an ordinary person's monthly salary.

  Robert noticed a silver lining in this situation but this American guy did not say anything because he found this show rather fascinating to watch...

  Du Sisi realized that Baili Jia Jue had no intention of speaking so she uttered, "Is it inconvenient for you to share? If that's the case, then let's not give you a hard…"

  "It's not that it's inconvenient." His Highness' voice was pleasant to the ear all the time especially when he flashed his demonic smile, giving off an aura of nobility and elegance. "My company is Jue Wei Group."

  This sentence carried double meanings.

  However, never would Du Sisi and others have considered the second meaning as they simply assumed that he was merely an employee in the company.

  "Wei Wei, why didn't you say that your boyfriend is working in Jue Wei Group earlier?" Li Meng fixed her gaze at Helian Wei Wei. "If you mentioned earlier, we could let Du Sisi talk things through with her uncle to help your boyfriend get a job promotion."

  Du Sisi nudged Li Meng. "Stop spouting nonsense. I don't want Wei Wei to think otherwise."

  "What is there to think about? You'll be the wife of the owner of Jue Wei Group someday. I believe Wei Wei won't be so narrow-minded and her boyfriend will also be more than willing to get a promotion with your uncle's help," Li Meng spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

  Upon hearing that, Professor Yuan frowned as he looked at Helian Wei Wei anxiously.

  Helian Wei Wei poured a cup of tea for the old man without saying a word. She remained in her calm and composed demeanor.

  Just when all the classmates thought that Wei Wei would not voice out, she wiped her fingers with a napkin as she lifted her gaze absent-mindedly. "The wife of the owner?"

  A look of bewilderment flashed across Li Meng's face. "We have just talked about it earlier. Sisi has gone on a blind date with the chairman of Jue Wei Group. Wei Wei, did your boyfriend not tell you about the company affairs?"

  "Alright, Li Meng." Du Sisi tugged her as she smiled at Helian Wei Wei with a look as though she had already taken charge of Jue Wei Group. "I'll tell uncle about your boyfriend. If he's capable enough, then it shouldn't be a problem for him to get a promotion."

  The girls who were fawning over Du Sisi gathered around when they heard the news. "Sisi, what about us? Can we work at Jue Wei too? If not, I can become an agent for celebrities. We can definitely perform well."

  "Alright, I'll see what I can do then." Du Sisi plastered a smile on her face.

  Helian Wei Wei opened her mouth to speak again, "I don't think an outsider serves the right to take charge of Jue Wei Group yet."

  Helian Wei Wei uttered her remark gradually.

  It was slow enough for Du Sisi to narrow her eyes as she listened.

  "Wei Wei, Sisi isn't just some random stranger," A female classmate let out a smile as she continued, "even though such things would not happen to you but it's something quite normal for Sisi. You'll come to a realization when things are sorted out and by then, you will not say so anymore. Sisi, when you get married, remember to send Wei Wei a wedding invitation."

  Du Sisi reached out her hand to stroke her long hair. "In fact, Wei Wei is right. Nothing has been set in stone yet. Hence, I am still considered an outsider." Upon saying that, she directed her gaze to the side. "Where are the servers? Why aren't they here yet? Please call your manager and say that I'm here. Even if I'm an outsider, I still have someone to be at my beck and call."

  Jue Wei Group's service was indeed excellent, a server immediately marched in once Du Sisi finished her sentence.

  "What can I do for you, ma'am?"

  Du Sisi looked sideways with full of arrogance. "Call Manager Zhang, tell him my surname is Du."

  The server did not move an inch as he stood there, frowning.

  "What are you waiting for?" Du Sisi's voice grew cold.

  The server finally decided to report to the upper management. "Please wait a moment."

  Chapter 986 - The Ultimate Slap In The Face

  "Sisi, you're truly amazing."

  Du Sisi smiled when she heard the praise and poured a cup of tea for Professor Yuan, saying, "Teacher, try the grilled duck tongue later. It tastes very authentic." Then, she turned around to speak to Helian Wei Wei, "If Wei Wei doesn't want my help, that's fine. I understand if your boyfriend doesn't want to use my connections to climb up the ladder."

  Before Helian Wei Wei could speak up, Baili Jia Jue feigned surprise with a slight glint of mockery in his eyes and asked, "Your connections? What connections do you have?"

  Du Sisi still thought that he was very handsome and she could not help but fall for him. However, she recovered quickly and said in a disdainful tone, "You'll find out later."

  She said that because the waiter had just walked in.

  She wanted Helian Wei Wei to see the stark difference between them, a fact that would not change simply because she was a better lawyer.

  People like Helian Wei Wei could never compare to my riches and connections.

  Compared to Helian Wei Wei's boyfriend who only has good looks, the man I will be with in the future will be one in a million. Even if I can't have him now, I will eventually be the mistress of the Emperor Hotel!

  Du Sisi lifted her head higher haughtily when she thought of that, and turned to look at the waiter, asking, "Where is the person that I've called for?"

  "Well," the waiter looked at Du Sisi, "Madam, the manager you spoke of is no longer working in this hotel. I've asked the person in charge to come in today."

  Upon hearing that, Du Sisi's ego inflated further as she replied, "It's the same regardless of who it is. Let us order first. Can you introduce today's freshest menu to us."

  "Excuse me, madam." The manager initially wore a professional smile on his face. However, when he saw the man dressed in a black trench coat in that private room, his voice shook and his words were caught in his throat!

  I must be dreaming!

  What is Chairman Jue doing here!

  Isn't he still vacationing overseas?

  Why did no one tell me that Chairman Jue has returned!

  Anxious, the manager's heart was racing wildly. He wanted to run toward Baili Jia Jue, but he did not know what was happening and dared not act rashly.

  Where's Executive Assistant Long?

  Where are they?

  How could they allow Chairman Jue to wander alone?

  W-wait!

  It's not just Chairman Jue, there… there's that demonic young master!

  What is he holding?

  Is it another child around his age?

  When did the demonic little young master become so loving?

  I have never seen this side of the child.

  No, correction. Not only have I never seen this side of the child's personality, but he was so merciless that he would make the a.d.u.l.ts' life at the company a living hell.

  He was not planning to be in charge of the entertainment company anyways, because everyone remembered that the demonic little young master wanted to join the show business.

  The manager turned his head to see Baili Shangxie hugging his little brother in the corner and it was obvious that he recognized the manager. Originally, he would play with all the humans that Shadows brought to him, whether they were a.d.u.l.ts or children.

  Among his 'toys', the manager was one of the more entertaining people.

  If the manager knew what Baili Shangxie was thinking at the moment, it would definitely send him off crying.

  However, he was only anxiously racking his brain, wondering why the homebody chairman would appear at the restaurant he was in charge of.

  Is he not satisfied with the recent performance of the Emperor Hotel?

  The manager shuddered violently when he thought of the pun
ishment that would befall him if the chairman was not satisfied.

  He was so absorbed in his thoughts, he did not respond even when Du Sisi had called him twice.

  The waiter had never seen the manager in such a nervous state. Is it because the temperature in the private room is too cold?

  Why do I feel like the manager's hand is shaking?

  "Manager Liu, Manager Liu, the guest is calling you." The waiter reached out and tugged at the manager's sleeve.

  The manager regained his senses and instantly stood up straight. Under the gaze of Baili Jie Jue, he spoke to Du Sisi, "I'll prepare the food immediately!"

  The sudden humble attitude of the manager made the other students even more convinced by Du Sisi's words, feeling that she was very capable.

  Du Sisi was a little surprised herself. Even her uncle, who was far more powerful, would only be able to summon the restaurant manager. Naturally, this was her first time meeting the hotel manager. She had no idea that her uncle's position in the Jue Wei Group was higher than she had expected.

  The unexpected turn only made her enjoy the envious eyes around her, which delighted her more. She pointed at the menu with her perfectly manicured red finger and uttered, "Let's order the lobster first, since our professor loves lobsters. Li Meng, what do you want to order?" Then, she passed the menu to Li Meng.

  The manager wanted to nod and accept the request, but he noticed that the man was wearing a menacing grin and exuding an air of dissatisfaction with his cold eyes.

  The manager started to sweat profusely in an instant.

  Did I do something wrong?

  But these people are Chairman Jue's acquaintances, does he want me to reject their request?

  The manager hazarded a guess and said hesitantly, "I'm sorry, madam, but you would need to book the lobster in advance according to our hotel regulations."
