Chapter 985 - Third Step To Losing One’s Reputation
985 Third Step To Losing One’s Reputation
“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 pleasure 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 they 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.”
