"No thanks, I enjoy my current job very much, and I don't intend to switch my career path any time soon," Helian Wei Wei replied. She was speaking the truth, as she was working as a mechanic in the day and a ghostbuster at night. Basically, she could earn at least a hundred thousand a night as a ghostbuster, more than what she could earn as a lawyer. Most importantly, if she was a lawyer, she could not possibly bring Qing Chen to the court with her. However, things were different if she was a ghostbuster. She only had to sit down and count the money, while Little Qing Chen was responsible for eliminating the ghosts. It was a sort of entertainment activity for Little Qingchen. Now that I think of it, I can bring Shangxie along when I capture the ghosts next time. Hmm, Shangxie must be more powerful and more skilled at eliminating them.
Du Sisi did not realize that Helian Wei Wei was not affected by her provocation at all. She thought that Helian Wei Wei was merely being stubborn, hence she faked a sigh as she muttered, "Wei Wei, only a woman like you can bear with this hardship. If it were me, I would not be able to take it. I've heard how dirty it can be when repairing cars, and there are men everywhere. I hope you stay firm and strong, so that you won't be bullied because you're a woman."
"No one can bully my mother," Little Qing Chen instantly understood the subtle meaning behind Du Sisi's jeering words. He put the demon plush toy that was blocking him aside, and looked at Du Sisi with shimmering eyes.
That was when Du Sisi realized how pretty this child was. However, his large, round eyes were icy cold, as though they were flashing red and warning her. Despite his extraordinary magnanimity, his outfit was extremely unimpressive and none of it were branded items. It was clearly evident that his family was not too well-off.
"Wei Wei, this must be your son. He's so handsome, and is really protective of you." Du Sisi wore a saccharine smile and looked to the side, saying, "I've heard that your son has some misunderstandings with Cheng Cheng. This is so weird, Cheng Cheng is usually a very m.a.t.u.r.e and well-behaved boy. Every time we go out for coffee, Li Meng will always bring Cheng Cheng along. He has never caused us any problems, so why would they fight in school?"
Her words reeked with feigned incredulity, and seemed to have an underlying message. Indirectly, she was complimenting and highlighting Little Fatty Cheng's civilized and courteous character, to hint at Helian Qingchen's misbehavior.
However, Li Meng generously proclaimed, "It's normal for kids to have conflicts. Wei Wei is usually too busy repairing cars, she probably doesn't have a lot of time to care for her son. Just let this matter blow over, Cheng Cheng is a year older than Qingchen, after all. You have to give in to the younger brother more, understand?"
"Yes, I understand everything that you said, mummy," Little fatty Cheng responded quickly in front of everyone. Nevertheless, his eyes were filled with contempt when he looked at Helian Qingchen.
Li Meng continued saying to Du Sisi, "Sisi, it's tough for Wei Wei all along. She even has to save up and eat less for her child, so don't mention this issue anymore."
When Little Qing Chen heard what they said, his eyes turned menacingly cold. He initially wanted to drag Pretty Wei Wei away soon, as he wanted to meet his elder brother later and was really uninterested with all these rowdy humans. However, after witnessing such a ridiculous situation, he decided to stay and let these foolish humans know the price to pay for mocking his mother.
However, before Little Qingchen could use his trickery, Helian Wei Wei said, "Regarding the matter at school, I may not hear about the whole story, but I've heard parts of it. It's pretty normal for children to fool around, but the language they speak is influenced by their parents. Since everyone is around, I, as a mother, have to ask on behalf of my son. Li Meng, why does your son call Qingchen 'little bumpkin' every time he sees him? Who taught him this word?"
"Does this need to be taught? You're a lowly mechanic, so of course, your son is a… mph!" Before Little Fatty Cheng could finish his words, Li Meng hurriedly covered his mouth.
Li Meng glared at him furiously, and he immediately became silent.
However, everyone had already heard what he wanted to say, although he did not finish his words. Surely, he was saying that Helian Wei Wei and her son were poor.
The atmosphere was instantly doused with a stifling awkwardness.
Everyone lowered their heads to mindlessly take a sip of their coffee, as though they were trying to hide something. However, it was obvious that some people had a sneaky grin on their faces, seemingly laughing at Helian Wei Wei with Little Fatty Cheng.
Chapter 970 - Class Reunion (Part 6: Blind Date)
As the person in question, the little smile on Helian Wei Wei's face remained unchanged. Instead, her smile widened as she carried Little Qingchen in her embrace. He also wore an evil smile on his face, just like the facial expression of the small demon plush toy in his hands.
"A lowly mechanic?" Helian Wei Wei repeated the words sarcastically.
Li Meng started to explain, "Wei Wei, Cheng Cheng is just a child. He doesn't mean it, so don't overthink it. It's because the people on television describe it as such, so he's just mimicking them. I must have been treating him too well, so I always want him to experience how other families live. Alas, his father thinks otherwise and always wants Cheng Cheng to do something productive, so that Cheng Cheng will follow in his footsteps in doing business. That is maybe why he thinks that there's no future as a mechanic. However, we all know that every job is still a job, right?"
This explanation did not contain a hint of apology. Instead, it was more of an explanation to shirk her supposed responsibility. She seemed to imply that they should not blame her son for thinking that, as being a mechanic was really a futureless career.
This reminded Helian Wei Wei of the hot issue about the bridesmaids on Weibo a while back. After the incident happened, some of the comments made by them sounded like this too.
Those who should be apologizing did it vaguely without any sincerity, and the entire article simply comprised of empty words from those involved, trying to shove the responsibilities onto one another.
Yet, the victim was the one who had to apologize sincerely first.
This was a common occurrence in society.
It may be common, but that does not mean I won't speak against it.
Perhaps, Li Meng assumed that since her family was wealthy and powerful, while her father was high-ranking and her husband was impressive, she would have a different perception of these matters.
Furthermore, she was also confident that there would be people supporting her if she voiced her opinion.
Unsurprisingly, when Li Meng finished speaking, the female classmate who ate with her earlier smiled and added, "Wei Wei, you really can't blame Cheng Cheng on this, because he grew up in a very exceptional environment. You should know that he's a bonafide child of a high-ranking officer. He would usually mingle with people who are equally outstanding. Naturally, he would not be too comfortable with other kinds of people at school. Ah, this must be fate. As the saying goes, no discord, no concord. If Wei Wei isn't our classmate, Li Meng's husband might become so angry and things can get out of hand. Luckily, we're all acquainted and things can be resolved easily."
Du Sisi shook her head, with a knowing look on her face as she said, "Not just Li Meng's husband, if Cheng Cheng's grandfather calls the ministry, the nature of the issue would become serious immediately. You should know that every school would have to show some respect for my grandfather."
These words were obviously for Helian Wei Wei.
Helian Wei Wei's lips curved into a smile. With a domineering gaze, she asked, "Are you trying to say that just because Cheng Cheng is the second generation of those in power, he can humiliate and mock other children mindlessly?"
"Wei Wei, it's not much of a big deal, how can you say it's a humiliation?" Du Sisi wanted to let things blow over and continued, "We're simply saying that Cheng Cheng didn't mean anything ill-hearted. We're afraid that you m
ight misunderstand, so we mentioned Cheng Cheng's family background as well."
Family background? The smirk on Helian Wei Wei's lips grew wider. To be honest, I'm really not afraid of anyone with a powerful family background.
Besides, she felt that the little fat boy in front of her was not exactly the second generation of those in power. At most, he was merely the grandson of a section chief.
Although the officers in Beijing had a higher rank than those in the municipal district, Helian Wei Wei had ample connections and many of them were under her control.
Besides, every one of them was afraid of falling on her bad side.
However, nobody would know about Helian Wei Wei's secret connections.
Hence, Li Meng and Du Sisi increasingly felt that they had succeeded in overpowering Helian Wei Wei, and felt really thoroughly elated.
"Alright. Let's not talk about this anymore." Li Meng wanted to change the topic of discussion, so she looked at Du Sisi and asked, "Why did you arrive late today? Didn't you say that you're busy with your work? You don't look like you're dressed for work, but I don't think that you've told me that you went to court."
Du Sisi put down the cup of coffee in her hand and fiddled with the golden bracelet on her left wrist. Her face was slightly blushed and she seemed a bit shy as she said, "My uncle urgently called me to meet the chairman of Jue Wei Corporation."
"Jue Wei?" Besides the few female classmates next to them, even Li Meng's eyes lit up with admiration and disbelief, "It's the noble CEO who is reported in the media? People say that he is very young and looks more handsome than celebrities. He's even from the United Kingdom. Now, the entire movie and television industry in A City is monopolized by him. He's extremely influential and powerful. Sisi, how do you know him? Did you get his contact number?"
Du Sisi casually swiped her long hair behind her ears and tried her best to suppress her gloating eyebrows. Then, she pretended to be calm and smiled, replying, "Oh, you silly girls! How can it be so soon? Perhaps, he will leave his phone number when we have a meal together next time. We're still not too close to each other now."
"See, she even used the word 'we' when talking about him." Li Meng pointed at her with her finger and teased, "How can you not be close to each other when you can have a meal together? At least, you have met him. I've heard that he would not show up if he doesn't want to, even when the mayor invited him. The mayor even has to go and meet him personally. This man is like a god in the people's eyes. If he doesn't live in the seclusion of his own home, his fame could rival the popular actors. Sisi, looks like we have to count on you in the future."
"I don't understand what you are talking about." Du Sisi's face was flushed pinkish red, and spoke cloyingly on purpose as though she really knew Baili Jia Jue. In reality, she only saw his back view from afar.
However, she was not afraid of anyone exposing her lie because it was impossible for everyone here, including Li Meng, to meet that exceptionally talented and sublimely handsome man.
Moreover, sooner or later, I can surely meet him for dinner together with the help from my uncle. So, I'm not exactly lying, anyway.
Du Sisi always knew how to carry herself and put on a facade. She was also very eloquent and knew her way around words, in order to make her seem extremely appealing and amiable to others.
Just as she finished speaking, the male classmates came over from the other side.
As such, the atmosphere in the coffee shop suddenly became lively because of Du Sisi's comment. Everyone wanted to dig some information from Du Sisi about Jue Wei Corporation.
Only the mother and her son sat on the sofa in a daze, unusually silent.
The speech that Helian Wei Wei had originally prepared vanished from her mind instantly, as her thoughts had slowly wandered elsewhere.
Little Qingchen held the demon doll and blinked his beautiful, round eyes twice. Then, he raised his head to look at Helian Wei Wei and asked, "Pretty Wei Wei, did I hear wrongly? Did she say that the company's name is Jue Wei?"
"You heard right. She mentioned Jue Wei, indeed." Helian Wei Wei raised her hand and placed it on her forehead.
She thought to herself in ruminating silence. Hmm, this name should be quite common...right?
Why did my last word 'right' sound so unsure?
Chapter 971 - Class Reunion, His Highness Saw The Wechat
"Last time, elder brother said that our house is an actors company. Father founded it for him to toy around because he wants to be an opera actor in the future. Besides, Father was also afraid that he would consume all the opera actors when he loses control." Little Qingchen reached out his tiny hands and pushed the demon plush toy that was blocking his face away. He lowered his voice and soliloquized quietly, "Nevertheless, Father naming ability should still be slightly better than Mother's."
"Little Qingchen, are you questioning my aesthetics?" Helian Wei Wei twitched her gorgeous eyebrows and added, "In addition, it's not called an opera player, it's an actor. Just because your elder brother came from the ancient times, you think that you did too? Please use modern language!"
The little one shook his little fingers in a serious manner, and said, "It's not a problem of taste now. Rather, it is the problem of coincidence. Anyway, Pretty Wei Wei, I need you to tell me. Is it what I think it is?"
"Ahem, to be honest, I have the same thought as well." Helian Wei Wei looked down in a solemn face.
As such…the mother and son's facial expressions synchronized magically. It was quite an adorable sight...
Nevertheless, Little Qingchen's eyes shone abruptly, as if he had thought of something, saying, "Pretty Wei Wei, what would you do if my father gives his phone number to another woman behind your back?"
"He hasn't given yet, right?" Helian Wei Wei's voice sounded very languid.
Little Qingchen muttered in hushed whispers, "How about having a meal? Having a meal with another woman? Just now, the auntie sounded like she had a meal with imperial father. Furthermore, it's like a meal from a blind date."
When she heard it, Helian Wei Wei's ears perked up and she hesitated for some time, before taking out her handphone and entering Baili Jia Jie's Wechat conversation. With a few hurried strokes, she typed a few words and sent a message to him that said, "I heard that you had a blind date?"
Little Qingchen noticed that Pretty Wei Wei had sent a Wechat message so he stared at the screen excitedly, waiting for the reply in anticipation. He wanted to know how his imperial father would reply to this message.
Yes! I'll wait!
Little Qingchen looked as though he had discovered a very fascinating matter, as he adorably sat in Helian Wei Wei's embrace obediently. After some contemplation, he felt that he must inform his elder brother about it. So, he mimicked Helian Wei Wei and took out his little phone.
This type of phone was not sold anywhere, it looked fake on the surface but its contents were real. It could be used to call or send messages without any problem.
Little Qingchen's little fingers poked at the screen repeatedly as he was typing. He unconsciously puffed his little cheeks, which Helian Wei Wei found extremely adorable. Thus, she could not help but hug her son and give him a peck.
Baili Shangxie was lifting the fourth monster when he received the Wechat message. As he was in the middle of it, the handphone in his little pocket vibrated. He kicked the monster away and took out his handphone. When he read the message, his thin lips twitched fiercely and angrily.
A few monsters that were standing beside him trembled in fear as they hugged each other. They were worried that their little master would rush toward them and sent them flying away with a painful kick.
However...
A miracle happened!
The little master did not continue thrashing them. Instead, he looked down and began typing on his phone.
When did the little master become so attracted to human toys? It's totally unreal!
Firstly, Baili Shangxie sent a hugging emoticon to
his younger brother. Then, he looked for his imperial father's Wechat contact and opened the Great Demon King's profile and sent a taunting message to him, "I heard that you had an affair?"
There's no reply, perhaps he's too busy now.
Baili Shangxie looked at his little handphone for awhile and stuffed the black gem that he dug into his pocket. Then, he looked condescendingly at the demons who were completely terrified by him and asked, "Why are you all hiding from me? Come and help me analyze the situation. If my imperial father has an affair, how do I bring my imperial mother and younger brother far away from here?"
Affair? Of course, they should divorce, they have to divorce… Wait a minute.
The demons were dumbfounded. What did the little master say just now? Our master had an affair?
How did he do it?
Furthermore, even if our master really had an affair, what's wrong with you, little master? Why are you so excited and immediately think of bringing your whole family to run away from home? That's your father by blood, right…?
Even after years of pranking others, his true nature would never change.
All of the demons in the demon realm were summoned by Baili Shangxie to the First Level of Hell to discuss the countermeasure for dealing with the master's affair.
It's impossible for this to happen!
We can't find the significance of this meeting!
It's also troubling how excited Baili Shangxie is!
"I want to return to the human world to see who's the woman dining with my imperial father and send the photos of their repulsive a.d.u.l.tery to my imperial mother!"
The demons were speechless. If you really do that, you will definitely be hung on the wall and walloped mercilessly by master!
Baili Shangxie never shied away from impending chaos. With that, he hastily packed his things and prepared to return to the human world...
