987 His Highness’ Retaliation Part 1

Her scathing remark made Helian Wei Wei extremely infuriated, as she raised her eyebrows angrily and was about to roll up her sleeve for a fight. Whether it was an argument or an actual fight, she was not going to let Du Sisi off by all means!

Nobody shall mess with His Highness!

As a mercenary tycoon, I won’t tolerate anyone speaking ill about my partner.

I must show her my powerful and domineering side!

That was nothing wrong with Helian Wei Wei’s plan.

However, before she could even get out of her chair, Baili Jia Jue pressed against her shoulder and stood up. Casually, he tossed the matchbox in his hand aside, leaving only the cigarette between his fingers. He then glanced at the hotel manager standing not far off, clearly beckoning him over.

When the manager saw his menacing gaze, he reacted swiftly and immediately rushed to Baili Jia Jue’s side. “President Jue, I have a light. I have a light,” he hurriedly said, with a hint of panic in his voice.

President Jue?

Those two words rang echoed deafeningly in everyone’s head. The surrounding people were completely stunned and speechless, as their minds were thrown into utter chaos.

Stupefied, Li Meng stared at the man whom they had teased for being a poor working-class man. Suddenly, it seemed that her face had turned ashen pale and was drained of all blood!

No, it’s impossible! It’s not what I think it is, right?

Meanwhile, Du Sisi’s lips quivered violently when she heard what he was addressed as. She slowly turned around, her tightened throat started to ache as she asked, “Y-you, what did you just call him?”

The hotel manager merely looked at Baili Jia Jue deferentially without replying, but his face was somehow taut with anxiety. Nevertheless, he repeated the words, “President Jue.”

The words were spoken with resounding clarity, thus Du Sisi could no longer deceive herself that she had heard wrongly. Her body jerked as she fell heavily back into her chair.

How can this be!

That penniless boyfriend of Helian Wei Wei turned out to be the dominator of the business world?

The person-in-charge did not spare her a look, nor did he know what was happening. He simply felt very confused. Why does it seem like these people do not know President Jue? If so, why are they in the same private room?

“Pr-President Jue,” the person-in-charge stuttered, as he tried to speak.

Baili Jia Jue looked rather affable as he reached out to pat his shoulder with the same malevolent smile playing on his lips, saying, “Why don’t you just relax?”

The demon has come to inspect, how on earth am I supposed to relax? The person-in-charge was shouting in his heart but still, he maintained his respectful demeanor as he replied, “Yes, I will. By the way, why did you come here, President Jue? Is there anything wrong with the hotel’s recent performance?” It was a question that he was not supposed to ask, but he was too astonished. When he saw Baili Jia Jue flung the matchbox away, it terrified him so much that he blurted out those words.

However, Baili Jia Jue seemed to be unusually easygoing today. He held Helian Wei Wei’s hand with one hand, while hand flicking off his cigarette ash with the other, as he replied indifferently, “She has a reunion today, I’m here as her family member.”

“Oh! What?” The person-in-charge was initially too stunned to respond. When he came to his senses, he immediately turned to look at Helian Wei Wei. So this is the rumored president’s wife!

It seems like I have discovered something incredible!

Baili Jia Jue paid no heed to his subordinate’s expression, as those words were not meant for him to hear after all.

“There’s just something that I’m curious about.” Baili Jia Jue spoke nonchalantly as he stared at Du Sisi’s ghastly expression, “This Miss Du claimed to have met me and had a meal with me, right? How is it that you don’t even recognize me when I’m standing right here?”

Those words pushed Du Sisi to the verge of a nervous breakdown. Her face grew ashen and her hands holding the menu were shaking as she muttered anxiously, “I-I…”

“You had boasted that you knew the Jue Wei Group very well from the beginning,” Baili Jia Jue said with an evil smirk. His smile was breathtakingly perfect, and so charming that almost everyone would fall for it. However, no one knew that the more he smiled, the more vindictive he was. He added, “Miss Du, do you know why the Jue Wei Group is called Jue Wei?”

At this moment, Du Sisi was utterly tongue-tied. All she wanted to do was to hurriedly explain herself, “Pr-President Jue, this is a misunderstanding. I…”

“The Jue Wei Group is called so because my mother is Helian Wei Wei and my father is Baili Jia Jue.” Adorable Little Qingchen interrupted Du Sisi with his clear voice, as he glared at her coldly.

“Helian Wei Wei, Baili Jia Jue. Wei Wei, Jue. Is that why it’s called Jue Wei?” Some of their female classmates quickly covered their mouths in shock and took a glance at Helian Wei Wei.

Now, almost everyone understood what was going on.

Helian Wei Wei was the bonafide wife of Jue Wei Group’s President ever since the group was established. In other words, Wei Wei was the reason behind the establishment of Jue Wei Group since it was a gift from President Jue to her.

Thus, Du Sisi was obviously lying. She had never met Baili Jia Jue, much less had a meal with him. She had lied about everything to boost her vanity!

Everyone, including Professor Yuan, frowned and cast a judging look at Du Sisi.

Their glances caused Du Sisi’s face to instantly pale. Things aren’t supposed to be this way. How did things turn out this way?

She had never been so embarrassed in her life, even standing up felt like torture.

If only a few people knew about this, she could have simply walked away.

However, she was in the middle of her class reunion now. Not only were these people her old classmates, but most of them were in her field as well. Besides, her tutor was present too!

I will definitely become the laughing stock of the town if everyone finds out about it.

A foolish laughing stock!

This would utterly ruin her reputation and image, which would be worse than death!

She and Li Meng had carefully planned everything to embarrass Helian Wei Wei from the beginning.

It shouldn’t be like this!

It shouldn’t end up like this!

Du Sisi’s face turned burning red. She reached out and tugged at Li Meng’s sleeve, pleading her to say something.

However, Li Meng did not respond, as she was still trying hard to digest the shocking turn of events.

Although she knew that Du Sisi was very vain, she did not see anything wrong about it. Hence, she agreed to help Du Sisi with her wretched plan.

Both of them shared the same twisted mentality. After all, they were best friends, just like two peas in a pod.

She could have never expected the poor man that they mocked turned out to be the president of the Jue Wei Group!

Now what? What should we do now?
