Baili Shangxie did not prompt further. Nevertheless, it did not mean that it was a truce although he was not present from the start.
Judging from the current situation, this bunch of people, especially that foolish lady must have bullied his Imperial Mother before he came.
He would not easily let go of those who had bullied his Imperial Mother.
Little Qingchen sat next to Baili Shangxie as he whispered in his elder brother's ear, reporting about the details of their enemy, "The person who spoke just now is called Du Sisi. It was her who said to have a blind date with dad. She was also the one who claimed that her uncle is a senior executive in an entertainment company."
"Which entertainment company?" Baili Shangxie thought coolly that he would surely shut it down when he returned.
Little Qingchen lifted the demon toy before replying, "Jue Wei."
Chapter 982 - Class Reunion: Hold Your Tongue If You Don’t Know His Highness
"There was another person, she was Little Fatty Cheng's mother. He was here too just now, and he requested me to address him as an older brother. I held back for a long time or else I would have beaten him up." Little Qingchen seemed rather furious as he mentioned this.
Upon hearing that, Baili Shangxie raised his eyebrows and his eyes reddened. Then, the smile on the corner of his lips started to turn bloodthirsty and cruel.
Good, very good indeed. It seems like I have allowed Little Fatty Cheng to have intrusive thoughts for not breaking his bones the other day.
Asking Qingchen to address him as an older brother? He doesn't deserve the privilege to do so.
The scene of his little brother and mother being bullied when they were not around emerged in his mind.
As a good elder brother, he never thought that he would have the urge to accept the overly tough Little Qingchen as his follower during their first encounter.
At this point, in Baili Shangxie's little demonic heart, none of the children was more obedient and sensible than his younger brother. That Little Fatty Cheng is obviously asking for a death wish!
Wait a minute, Little Fatty's last name is Cheng?
Baili Shangxie turned his head over to speak to his Imperial Father in a low voice, "The human being who always pays his respect to you in the villa, is his last name, Cheng?"
Baili Jia Jue did not deny the fact. He leaned back and stretched his legs leisurely with a thoughtful smile on his face.
Upon seeing the response, Baili Shangxie came to a realization. It seems like Father is not only here to declare his ownership to Imperial Mother, but he is also here to cause a death blow.
However, some individuals were simply too vain, to the point that they were able to lie as never before.
Du Sisi had already started to pretend like the hostess by ordering the servers around.
Li Meng who had found her sense of superiority at that moment deliberately made a phone call to her husband in front of her classmates. "Hello, are you done yet? We're about to start eating. Uhmm, there are many people here. A few of my male classmates are interested to meet you and discuss some projects."
"I'll be right there. Tell the servers to open a few more bottles of red wine, I'll cover the bill." The voice on the other end sounded very deep.
Li Meng talked handsfree to her husband on the phone. Once she heard him saying that, she ended her call with a grin on her face.
The female classmates stared at her with a face filled with admiration. "Li Meng, your husband is indeed generous!"
"The red wine in Emperor Hotel is not cheap. The lowest price of a bottle of wine is more than a thousand!"
"That's Li Meng's husband for you. If it was anyone else's husband, probably they would have trouble to even afford one."
Upon hearing that, Du Sisi was very pleased. This is how things are meant to be. Why should we allow a woman who does not complete her education and has to rely on repairing cars for a livelihood to have the upper hand?
Today, I'm going to embarrass Helian Wei Wei inside out!
What's so good about having a handsome boyfriend?
Without an influential family background, I could surely put shame on her!
"You all speak too much. Wei Wei hasn't even spoken her mind yet." Du Sisi turned to face Helian Wei Wei. "Wei Wei, since you already have a boyfriend, why don't you replace your motorbike with a car? Nowadays, cars aren't expensive. I just changed to a new sports car recently. It only costs me about 300,000 yuan. It's quite rare to see people riding a motorbike these days. I didn't see your boyfriend's car either. You should be able to afford a car with both your salaries combined. After all, it's rather inconvenient to fetch children to school without a car."
What she meant with those words were as clear as day.
Helian Wei Wei did not utter a word.
Xiao Zifeng could not hold it any longer, hence, he lifted his hand to grab Du Sisi's wrist, "That's enough, Sisi."
His industry shaped him to be someone who was more aware of the hidden meaning behind Du Sisi's words than any ordinary souls.
A simple student would not say such things on such an occasion.
Could it be that he was wrong from the start because he wanted to approach that person through Du Sisi, whom he knew better?
At that time, he truly did not see through the tricky part of this matter.
Never had Du Sisi expected that Xiao Zifeng would stop her. She thought that even if he was fond of Helian Wei Wei, he would save her face in front of the crowd. How could he do that to me because of Helian Wei Wei!
Du Sisi gritted her teeth and slowly let out a smile. "Wei Wei, I didn't mean anything else. I just feel that there is no need to care about one's outer appearance too much. I mean, you don't have to make your boyfriend dress up so well when you can't even afford a car. We are all classmates. We know each other well enough so there is no need for you to spend too much money on that."
Upon hearing that, Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and then turned to look at the man who was smirking while playing with his phone. He is only wearing a black windbreaker. How is that trying to show off one's outer appearance?
This piece of garment was considered the most common one among all other clothes that His Highness had, for the rest was bespoke tailoring. At the very least, this was branded clothing.
If the remarks were heard by any other ordinary individuals, they would surely not let it pass.
However, Helian Wei Wei and her family were still keeping their cool.
It was especially true for Baili Jia Jue. From the start to the end, he did not utter a single word. He merely rested his arm behind Helian Wei Wei's seat while busy playing with his phone. He did not even bother to spare a glance at the two women.
His aura of nobility and elegance emanated a natural sense of contempt.
His silvery-gray fringed hairstyle, his fair skin, and his attractive pair of eyes had less visible capillaries under the illumination of lights. What a stunning look to behold!
As Baili Jia Jue formed a smile, it showed an obvious hint of disdain.
Due to the man's attitude, it had triggered Li Meng and Du Sisi even more!
It made it seem like he could only occupy Helian Wei Wei in his eyes and no one else was worthy of him sparing a glance.
We are a group of elites with distinguished social background and academic qualifications, how are we losing out to Helian Wei Wei!
"Sisi is right. Wei Wei, you've to work so hard to repair cars. I think it's better to save up your hard-earned money for your children. You know we, as human beings, must know our limits and be content with what we have. So, we shouldn't do things that are beyond our capabilities. It's common for men to care about their reputation, but there's no need to be too extravagant." In Li Meng's opinion, since she had already made her point up to this extent, she might as well carry on with her words for she could not be bothered about the matter of reputation anymore. Hence, she smirked and continued, "If your boyfriend has spare money, he should help t
o replace your motorbike with a car instead of spending all on clothes. Let's not talk about branded cars, but an inexpensive car should be fine, right? Unless both of you can't even afford a car with your current financial situation!" Li Meng gazed at Helian Wei Wei as she heaved a faint sigh. "Initially, I thought your boyfriend has a rather decent job. Wei Wei, why don't you consider working as an assistant for Sisi? Worse comes to worst, your boyfriend can work in the Cheng Group. I can help to sort things out with my husband. He doesn't really care much about trivial matters in the company but it shouldn't be a problem for him to help secure a job for someone. As long as your boyfriend has academic qualifications unlike you…"
Before Li Meng could finish her words, a sudden noise interrupted her!
Chapter 983 - Class Reunion: First Step To Losing One’s Reputation
The private room's doors swung open and two laughing men stepped in. One of them was an older man who carried a book in his hand; he seemed to be a scholar. The other person had a more formidable appearance and it was obvious that he was not from around here.
The students did not care for the foreigner as their eyes were on the white-haired scholar.
"Sir!" Du Sisi was the first to stand up and went to greet him with a sincere smiling expression. "You're here, why didn't you call so I could come for you?"
The scholar did not pay particular attention to what she said, he simply waved with a Confucian manner. "It's just a short walk and I know which room it is. No need for you to come and fetch me." He neither liked nor disliked Du Sisi. He did not care how well Du Sisi performed in the country because deep down, he only accepted one person as his disciple. The scholar was not aware of the presence of Helian Wei Wei in the crowd. He did not want to seem like an old man who was past his prime so he introduced the foreigner to the surrounding people. "This is Robert. You should have heard of his name before. There has never been a case that he could not win in the law industry. Quite a number of you are still doing law after graduation, so if you have any difficult cases, you can go to him. However, you have to know that Robert is extremely busy, hence, only seek help when you encounter a very complicated case. Are you clear?"
The scholar was undoubtedly a good teacher. Only a limited number of professors would still think of expanding their students' social networks by introducing people to them after graduation.
Robert was a gentleman, he tilted his head as he smiled, revealing the forthright manner of an American. "Hey Old Yuan, I can be pretty powerful but I am not invincible. There are some cases that I can't solve either."
Even though he was speaking in English, it did not hinder the communication between him and the rest of the crowd. They were all from a prestigious university after all. They could understand and communicate in English even if they were not very proficient at it.
However, to lawyers, Robert was an ultimate idol.
There were countless legends about this man.
Anyone who was in the same industry would have heard of him.
Du Sisi always wanted to meet her professor's good friend but it took her professor almost forever to introduce this person to her.
Du Sisi was not clear of the reason previously but there was once when she visited her professor's house, she overheard her professor's wife saying in a low voice, "Are you thinking of keeping these contacts and passing them to Helian Wei Wei later on? Old Yuan, why are you so stubborn? What's so good about that child? In my opinion, she can't compare with Sisi."
"You don't understand." The professor sounded infuriated at first, but he slowly softened his voice, appearing as though he was heaving a long sigh. "In this industry, you either compete with others over contacts or achievements. Everyone thought of becoming a lawyer to earn a good fortune. Who is seriously willing to help those in need of justice these days?
"Are you saying that Wei Wei doesn't fancy money? Come on, everyone is the same these days. Old Yuan, you've lived to this age, you should know this by now," advised the wife.
Professor shook his head like a man in his twilight. "I taught Wei Wei myself. She was the only disciple I took in at the beginning. It was not because of her in-depth knowledge of law either. You haven't met this child. She might seem like nothing at first but she has been through a lot. In the legal community, you need people who aren't blank slates because people who are blank slates will be corrupted eventually. The kind of person who would be able to help those in need are those who have been through darkness and know the unspoken rules but have kept a pure heart in the end. I know that she has her own methods and it is extremely applicable in this industry because her methods are not conventional. When she was in school, she was barely 20 but she knew how to gain the upper hand. However, it didn't matter because the way she handled things was very honest. She has a kind, righteous heart. Sisi is not accepted because she wants to be under my care only because I can contribute to expanding her social networks. If I'm an ordinary teacher, she wouldn't have visited me so often. They are fundamentally different. So, how do you expect me to pass everything on to her?"
Du Sisi's face darkened upon hearing that. She was on the other side of the door, and she crushed the strawberries that were being washed. Now, her heart was full of hatred. What era is it now? People only care about one's family background, even when others read novels or watch television, they opt for relaxing and funny ones. Who would care about righteousness at this moment in time? If it is not for the fact that this old man is of use to me, I would have stomped off immediately. What a dream to think that she was genuinely willing to serve him!
Isn't he thought that Helian Wei Wei is incomparable to others? Now she could not wait to see how her professor would react once he found out that his most beloved student had become nothing but a mechanic. She wondered if he would ever talk nonsense about the sense of justice!
Thinking of this, Du Sisi opened her mouth again, saying, "Oh well, sir! I bet you are not informed that Wei Wei is here today." As she spoke, she turned her head over. "Excuse me, can you all please make room for Wei Wei to walk over?"
As a large number of male and female students had surrounded Professor Yuan when he entered, causing his line of sight to be blocked.
Obviously, never had Professor Yuan thought that he would be able to meet Helian Wei Wei again. After all, no one knew exactly where she went ever since she transferred to another school.
"Sir." Du Sisi tugged Professor Yuan's arm. "Didn't you know that Wei Wei is leading a difficult life now? The boyfriend that she was seeing now was not of much help to her. She even has to ride a motorbike to work every day. Her body will always be covered with dirt after she finishes fixing the cars. Normally, she also has to look after her kids."
Professor Yuan was clearly heartbroken when he heard the news. He looked at Helian Wei Wei who was making her way toward him. He knew that it was hard to survive in this industry.
However, deep down, he thought everyone could choose not to become a lawyer except Helian Wei Wei.
He found it hard to imagine that his best student would live a life as mentioned by Du Sisi.
"Sir." Helian Wei Wei stood in front of him and smiled. "You haven't changed a bit. You still love carrying a law dictionary around. Is it all in English?"
Professor Yuan did not know what to say; his eyes were hazy. "It's good to see you here, it's good to see you here."
"Wei Wei, did you know that after you left, our professor talked about you all day long. After all, he spent so much time and effort on you," Li Meng heaved a long sigh before she continued, "but who would have thought that you didn't even become a lawyer, and ended up working as a mechanic in some rural area. You have really failed to live up to our professor's expectations."
Helian Wei Wei did not reply because her vision was not focused on Li Meng. Instead, she gave Robert a meaningful stare.
Robert felt as though it was some sort of illusion before him. Oh my god!
Chapter 984 - Class Reunion: Second Step To L
osing One’s Reputation
How could he possibly see her at such a place...
Robert was very excited, so he opened up his arms, urging to give Helian Wei Wei a hug!
He did not expect someone else to be quicker than him. That person stretched his hand out to pull Helian Wei Wei back in his arms.
Robert was so exhilarated that he did not even notice that the man who was giving him death glares. "Wei, what are you doing here? I haven't seen you in three years! God, if those people know that you're still alive, it will definitely make their blood boil."
What is going on?
Du Sisi and Li Meng were left stunned!
Robert spoke too fast so some students were still trying to come to their senses of what was happening. However, at this juncture, Helian Wei Wei had already replied in fluent English, "Yes, I'm still alive. Don't curse me, Robert. You better stop your habit of dancing around with excitement. If you hit my lecturer by accident, I would have to toss you out of the window."
"Oh, Wei, you're still so cool!" Robert's eyes brightened up. Just then, he furrowed his brow and spoke in Chinese with a strong foreign accent, "But when did you become a mechanic? Did I mishear anything because of my poor Chinese proficiency?"
Helian Wei Wei chuckled nonchalantly, "Yes, I am fixing cars now."
"Gosh! What's wrong with you, coming all the way to China to fix cars!" Robert's tone was simple but it sounded like he was rather off-topic.
Professor Yuan knew very few people were able to turn Robert into this state. "Do both of you know each other?"
"It's more than just that, I lost three times to her in the past. Every single time we fight against each other, she would win!" Robert started to shake his limbs subconsciously when he spoke of Helian Wei Wei, "Old Yuan, was she your student? Oh, by the way, when I met Wei in America, she did introduce herself as a student, but didn't you know that she got her Attorney Certification a long time ago? Perhaps it's because Mainland China doesn't allow non-graduates to file a lawsuit but it's different in America. She was so popular back then. Oh well, in terms of a Chinese phrase, it means that she is 'hot in demand'. Many people went to her to file lawsuits. Remember the information I gave you previously, they are actually all from her cases."
