"Won't your conscience prick you after constantly helping unlawful people like this?"
"Miss Du, please answer the questions. Have you ever thought about those who can't make money easily? You used dirty tactics to block their only hope, after they finally managed to pool enough money to sue the evil businessmen. Do you even feel any guilt?"
"You accepted their money and lost on purpose. As a lawyer, isn't this a betrayal to the most basic work ethic?"
Du Sisi did not expect to be bombarded by these kinds of questions the moment she came out of the hotel. Since she was caught by surprise, she was too fl.u.s.tered and froze on the spot, with her ashen face displayed in full view. Nobody should've any idea about the things that I did. Those stupid farmers knew nothing about it. They even gave me the smelly local products after the lawsuit, and said that they were very grateful to me even if they lost.
Who is the one that revealed all these things to the reporters?
No matter how well Du Sisi usually hid it, her temper of a spoiled rich young lady was still very apparent. Flaming in fury, she screamed and flung her bag to the floor, shouting like a rabid wench, "All of you shut up! Shut! Up!"
The act completely destroyed the image Du Sisi worked so hard to maintain all this while.
The luxurious dining hall had a TV where they could watch the live broadcast clearly.
A lot of the classmates shook their heads in disgust and sighed silently.
Helian Wei Wei poked the man sitting beside her and whispered, "You were holding yourself back so much earlier. You were just waiting for this to happen, weren't you?"
"I wouldn't," Baili Jia Jue replied with a smile. His eyes were filled with devilish darkness as he added, "She wouldn't have brought shame to herself if she didn't claim to be lady owner of the Jue Wei Group."
Then, he added smilingly, "I could make the whole family's lives a living hell if I wanted to."
Helian Wei Wei was mum.
Li Meng was still trying to appeal for Du Sisi, "I didn't expect Du Sisi to be so foolish."
Professor Yuan glanced at her and said disapprovingly for the first time, "She wasn't being foolish. She only has herself to blame. If anyone tries to pull this kind of stunt in the future, don't say that you're from A University! You won't just be embarrassing the school, you're also embarrassing all your classmates! Accepting illegal money and losing the lawsuit on purpose. This is the lowest kind of lawyer I have ever seen."
"She would have to face jail time if she did this in the United States," Robert said sternly. It was not hard to see his intense loathing toward this matter.
Li Meng's smile froze when she was refuted by both of the two most authoritative figures, and could only shut her mouth in defeat. However, she did not expect to meet Baili Jia Jue's gaze when she looked up. A mere look into the dark depths of his eyes caused her heart to skip a few beats.
When their eyes met, he gave her a little evil smirk. That kind of smile was so bewitching, it could make anyone fall for him.
Li Meng had always thought that she was quite attractive, as a lot of men still pursued her even after she was married. After all, she was petite and fair. She was also quite particular about her attire and makeup.
Besides, her current situation and expression made her look so fragile. She looked at Baili Jia Jue with a vulnerable gaze, as if she wanted to say something but could not do so.
The most that she did was trying to embarrass Helian Wei Wei.
Hence, it would not affect her even if anything happened.
With that thought in mind, she raised her head and looked at Baili Jia Jue with a pitiful look again. Surely, all men have a hint of compassion in their hearts.
Besides, that man even smiled at me earlier…
Li Meng could not help having some ideas when she thought of that and looked at Baili Jia Jue again.
The other classmates were already ordering their food. It was not easy to hold this gathering after all, so they would not split up just like that. However, the atmosphere was evidently not as cheerful as before. Everyone had lowered their heads to check the menu, so nobody saw her disgraceful demeanor.
Even Helian Wei Wei was in a dilemma about what she wanted to eat. It was a difficult task for a glutton like her to decide on the menu
Meanwhile, the two little ones sat on two little chairs respectively. Baili Shangxie extended his hand to press the menu down for Qingchen, so that he could choose whatever he liked at his own leisure. Needless to say, his quality as a young master was already in full display. He asked the hotel manager to serve a glass of milk for his little brother, without forgetting to test the temperature first before feeding it to little Qingchen. However, he saw Li Meng's unsightly behavior when he raised his head. He pouted his little lips coolly and spat out one word, "Foolish."
Little Qingchen was puzzled about the person his brother was talking about. Thus, he raised his little head from the menu.
Baili Shangxie pressed his little brother's messy hair down and touched little Qingchen's face. His little face was still looking cool as he said, "It's nothing. Choose what you want to eat. You can even ask for anything that's not on the menu. I'll have them buy it for you."
The waiter was so stunned that he became speechless. He has a severe brother complex! I've never seen the devilish young master act so patiently when he talks to anyone!
Usually, he would only speak curtly to others.
Such as 'buzz off', 'annoying' or 'foolish'.
Because of his son's attitude, everyone thought that Chairman Jue used to be in the mafia when they first joined the company.
It was because the devilish young master acted like an Italian mafia. The aura he radiated did not feel like a three-year-old.
Besides, the child's IQ was unbelievably high. He could play these a.d.u.l.ts in the palm of his hand.
If he uttered the word 'foolish', it would only mean that it was somebody's unlucky day…
Chapter 990 - Beat You Up!
Li Meng was obviously not aware of the looming danger. She was still thinking about how to ease the tension in the air, and to stay closer to the man when making toast…
Baili Jia Jue laughed again, but his demonic aura was becoming heavier and heavier. This caused Helian Wei Wei to raise her eyes curiously, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Baili Jia Jue took Little Phoenix's left hand and held it in the palm of his hand.
Helian Wei Wei followed him, and pointed at the food menu with her finger and said, "You like to eat iron plate beef fillet, do you want it?"
"I don't feel like eating beef today." Baili Jia Jue said softly, "It's just some plain meat, you don't have to do anything with it. Just throw it into your mouth, take a few bites, and you're done. That's boring."
Thus, Helian Wei Wei skipped the dish. Then, she pointed at the lobster and asked, "How about this one? This one is spicy, so it should be appetizing. You could peel it off before eating it."
"It's troublesome to peel." Baili Jia Jue put one of his hands behind Helian Wei Wei's chair. Their pose seemed very natural yet inexpressibly intimate.
Helian Wei Wei smiled and poked at his face, asking playfully, "What if I peel it for you?"
"Hmm," Baili Jia Jue really smiled this time, with nothing but genuine tenderness in his long narrow eyes.
The person-in-charge listened in astonishment, as he did not expect President Jue would act like this after falling in love.
How should I put it...?
Indirectly, he just wants to make his wife peel the lobster for him, it was…quite shameless.
Baili Shangxie was very accustomed to his father's shamelessness. Thus, he did not even glance at them. He put the small chopsticks and spoons which were delivered by the waiters into Little Qingchen's hands. Then, he just stood there and lowered his head to tie the napkin for his brother with a serious face.
Professor Yuan laughed and said, "Wei Wei, you've done a good job in teaching these two boys. Come!
Tell grandpa, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
"Make money." Little boy Qingchen spoke softly and coldly like a little gentleman, while still holding the glass of milk handed to him by his brother.
Professor Yuan was stunned for a while before he asked, "Make money?"
"Yes," Little Qingchen answered seriously. "My brother will be an actor in the future, his career would need a huge capital as there are many unspoken rules behind showbiz. In order to let my brother concentrate on being a good actor, I must work hard to earn money and prevent him from being bullied."
Professor Yuan was silent as he thought to himself. Can this....be considered a career...goal? And...while it's good that you knew the unspoken rules at such a young age, what's with Shangxie becoming an actor?
Baili Shangxie seemed cool, but a lot was going on in his boundless mind. In his heart, he thought that no kid in this world would be as thoughtful, clever, and caring as his younger brother.
The person-in-charge understood these thoughts from the smile that escaped from the corner of the devilish young master's mouth. Needless to say, this was one of the countless times he wanted to slap his forehead in exasperation.
Although it's inappropriate to say this at this time. Little Young Master, do you really think that anyone would dare to apply the unspoken rules to the Devilish Young Master?
They would be killed!
Baili Shangxie ignored the hotel manager and used a paper towel to wipe Little Qingchen's mouth. He still thought that his brother was extremely loving, so he hugged Little Qingchen and kissed his forehead.
That gesture was super adorable.
The female students excitedly grabbed Helian Wei Wei's hand and said, "Wei Wei, why are your two sons so obedient? Ours would only hit each other when they meet! Tell me, how do you teach them? Pass on your knowledge to us!"
Hearing this, Helian Wei Wei felt guilty because, in her memory, she never had to teach Little Qingchen anything as he had always been very intelligent. As for Shangxie, other than the fact that he liked to eat humans when he was hungry, he was usually very responsible...
Hence Helian Wei Wei had to throw the ball to His Highness and said, "Shangxie had always been taught by Jia Jue."
"Does President Jue still have the time to teach his children?" Li Meng's eyes were round and watery as she stared at Baili Jia Jue. Then, she continued, "That's really unexpected, I should ask Old Cheng to learn from him. He only knows how to do business with you, President Jue, but not how to take care of children."
Baili Jia Jue was still fiddling with Helian Wei Wei's hair with one hand. Thus, he used his other hand to casually rub the corner of his mouth and replied in a soft voice, "Don't worry, he will witness it soon."
Li Meng's face inevitably turned crimson red upon hearing such a voice, making her want to see more of Baili Jia Jue.
However, she realized that the person in charge was blocking her view, whether intentionally or not.
Li Meng was angry, but she was not too bothered about it. Later, when Old Cheng arrives, we could definitely have a conversation.
Didn't he bring Cheng Cheng to the washroom?
What is taking him so long?
The dishes would be served soon.
Li Meng took out her phone and wanted to make a call to urge Old Cheng.
At that very moment, the door of the private room was pushed open, and her husband came in with a little fat boy in his arms. When he was about to complain that there were too many people outside and how challenging it was for him to come in, he noticed the man that was sitting at the table.
His annoyed expression instantly turned into a saccharine smile as he promptly said, "I was wondering why there are so many reporters out there. It turns out that it's because President Jue is here. President Jue, you..."
"I'm here for a meal," Baili Jia Jue replied calmly, as the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.
Li Meng had a good sense of timing, and instantly she dragged her husband over. She did not even introduce Helian Wei Wei to him but said, "Old Cheng, this is fate! We should make a toast to President Jue."
"Of course, of course!" He lifted up the glass in his place without thinking, and took his son and wife along as he walked toward Baili Jia Jue.
Little Fatty Cheng was rude, but he dared not provoke Baili Shangxie. However, he wanted to bully Little Qingchen. Naturally, he became bold and hissed at Little Qingchen, growling, "Little bumpkin, get out of my way!"
Bang!
Baili Shangxie did not even allow anyone to have the time to react. He pulled up Little Fatty Cheng's collar with one hand and pressed him onto the table. Despite his small stature, the smile on his face was tainted with bloodthirst as he growled, "Who did you call a little bumpkin? Try calling it one more time!"
Everyone was shocked by his actions.
Li Meng was the first to respond, "What's wrong, Shangxie? What's going on? Is my Cheng Cheng annoying you? Can I apologize to you on his behalf?"
She realized instantly that Baili Shangxie was the closest to President Jue, so she must maintain a good relationship between him and Cheng Cheng.
Cheng Cheng was utterly terrified, as he was actually a huge coward. He had always bullied others at school because of his family's position and power.
He did not know that Baili Shangxie and Little Qingchen were brothers. Little Fatty Cheng remembered that the two of them were not friendly to each other, so he did not expect Baili Shangxie to unleash his fury at him like this…
Chapter 991 - Do Not Underestimate Someone With A Brother Complex
"Sh-Shangxie… I-I'm not talking about you." In order to prove his words, Little Fatty Cheng anxiously pointed at Little Qingchen and yelled, "I was referring to him! It's true, I meant him!"
Little Qingchen was merely holding a box of milk between his two tiny hands and drinking it when he was being pointed. His eyes were large and round, like a cute little kitten.
Helian Wei Wei smiled and wiped her son's mouth as she looked at the Little Fatty Cheng. "So, what I heard was true. When you're in school, you frequently call Qingchen a little bumpkin too, right?"
"So what?" Little Fatty Cheng coldly snorted, completely looking down on the mechanic lady.
Because of his ignorant reply, the private room instantly fell into an indescribable silence.
Li Meng had begun to feel uneasy when Little Fatty Cheng pointed at Qingchen earlier. She wanted to put her hand over his mouth, but she could not stop him from speaking from where she sat. She could only try to hurriedly explain to Helian Wei Wei, "Wei Wei, let bygones be bygones. Cheng Cheng…"
"Bumpkin?" Before Li Meng could finish speaking, Baili Jia Jue had interrupted her with a clear noble tone. He raised his eyes and looked at Manager Cheng, snarling, "Manager Cheng, so that's how your son bullied my son."
Bully Chairman Jue's son? Manager Cheng did not understand the situation or what he was talking about, but he knew that he dared not provoke a devil even if he had a hundred guts!
"Chairman Jue, is there a misunderstanding here?" Manager Cheng asked skittishly.
Li Meng immediately said, "Yes it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I thought we had resolved it before you arrived, Wei Wei and I had reached a consensus. It's just a childish fight between the children, it isn't anything serious…"
Baili Shangxie's tiny face was so menacingly cold, the surrounding people felt a frigid cold paralyzing their hearts. He said, "Bullying my little brother is nothing serious? Aunty, what do you mean by a childish fight? If it's really so, do you think this Little Fatty Cheng of yours would behave so arrogantly now? It's the Cheng family, right?" He raised his little face and looked at Manager Cheng coldly, "You, including your uncle, are no longer needed at the villa. Go back and tell your uncle that from this day onward, Jue Wei Group will oppress Cheng Group in all areas. He better pray that we spare his measly life!"
Manager Cheng looked as though he had been struck b
y lightning after he heard this. He stood there unmovingly, frozen to the spot and thoroughly stumped.
Li Meng did not expect things to progress to this stage. She bit her lips nervously and looked at Baili Jia Jue. She thought that since she had attracted Baili Jia Jue's attention, he would not be so unkind to her. Thus, she asked, "Chairman Jue, you should not leave such a big matter in the children's hands, right?"
The devil's revenge was always swift and ruthless.
"We really should not do so, indeed." Baili Jia Jue twirled the goblet in his hand insouciantly and added, "After all, we have to count the Li family in as well."
The mention of the Li family made Li Meng's expression darken instantly, "You won't do this right, Chairman Jue? You…"
"Didn't you say that you want to see how I educate my kids?" Baili Jia Jue leaned back with a domineering air and continued, "Now, you can see it. Also...the way you looked at me just now was really disgusting. Manager Cheng, you should get rid of this woman that you married."
Without going into detail, everyone understood what he was referring to. After all, Li Meng had behaved inappropriately just now. She had ignored Helian Wei Wei and toasted Baili Jia Jue only. At first, she seemed to be purely bootl.i.c.k.i.n.g, but after Baili Jia Jue brought it up, everyone could guess her real intentions.
This woman was really unchaste.
The other classmates looked away in disgust, and merely glanced at Manager Cheng pitifully.
Manager Cheng was someone who had been in business for a long time, so he knew what Baili Jia Jue meant instantly. His face turned darker than someone who had eaten a bug!
Meanwhile, Li Meng was still desperately trying to defend herself.
Li Meng's dignity evaporated with the violent slap from her husband. She always flaunted how well her husband treated her to her classmates, and looked down on those who were still unmarried. In fact, when Helian Wei Wei did not explicitly express that she was attached, she recklessly started to spread rumors and hinted that Helian Wei Wei was messing around.
