The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  Finally… the chairman's gaze finally moved away from me!

  It seems that I was right!

  Du Sisi did not understand how the manager's attitude could switch so quickly.

  The other students were slightly disappointed as well, "Do we really need to book in advance? I thought that since Sisi is coming with us, we could eat the freshest seafood."

  Undoubtedly, Du Sisi would not allow her reputation to be tarnished. She shut the menu and politely said, "I've been here before and I've never needed to book in advance. Shouldn't it be the same this time? Since you're the hotel manager, you should know my uncle. His name is Du, and he's in the upper management of Jue Wei Group."

  "Du?" When the manager heard the name, he unconsciously glanced at his boss. Isn't Manager Du the one that was banned by Chairman Jue during the company meeting this afternoon?

  Du Sisi was very puzzled when she saw the hotel manager furtively looking around. Thus, she asked, "What are you looking at?"

  The manager opened his mouth, wanting to reply to her. What should I say to please Chairman Jue?

  Baili Jia Jue did not want to inconvenience his employee further, so he leaned his head to the side, signaling to the hotel manager. As he sat languidly in his wooden chair, he fiddled with Helian Wei Wei's long silky hair with his slender fingers. Then, he finally unleashed the icy-cold spite and contempt that had been brewing menacingly in his heart, casually saying, "Du Dewei was fired this morning, so he's not in the upper management anymore."

  Chapter 987 - His Highness’ Retaliation (Part 1)

  "What did you say?" Du Sisi looked up instantly. Her beautiful face was marred with an ugly fury, as she refused to accept such blatant falsification. Utterly outraged, she snapped at him loudly, "What do you mean he was fired? That's impossible! Wei Wei, don't you think that you should control your man in this kind of setting and ask him to watch his words? He won't only tarnish my uncle's reputation, but also that of the Jue Wei Group!"

  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 fl.i.c.k.i.n.g 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!

  A foolish laughing stock!

  This would utterly ruin her reputation and i
mage, 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.

  Now what? What should we do now?

  Chapter 988 - The Father And Son’s Joint Retaliation

  Panic began to swell within Li Meng. She anxiously opened her mouth, but did not know what to say.

  Du Sisi had no choice but to turn around and asked the girls who kept on fawning over her earlier to say something.

  However, those people were obviously worse than Li Meng. All of them feigned ignorance and avoided Du Sisi's gaze, trying to keep a low profile and stay invisible in this dangerous situation.

  A sneer slowly formed on Baili Shangxie's lips when he saw this scene, saying "Auntie, things will be nasty when lies are exposed. I've told you so."

  Du Sisi glanced around furtively, trying to search for an assuring gaze to no avail. It was only then that she realized how disastrous her mistake was. She never expected to be caught red-handed when she was just boasting as usual. How am I going to handle this mess now?

  "And you even wanted to be the boss' wife?" Baili Shangxie's little face looked cool as he muttered the words coldly. He had manifested the qualities of a leader despite his young age, continuing, "That's a really funny joke. My father is not the juridical person of Jue Wei Group in the first place. It's actually my mother. My father merely works under her in the group."

  As the little brother who knew his elder brother like the back of his hand, Little Qingchen could sense Baili Shangxie's great disdain for their father in that sentence.

  But, a juridical person?

  It was not an unfamiliar term to Little Qingchen. He stared at Helian Wei Wei with his large, glimmering eyes, as if they were asking her, "When did you end up as the juridical person?"

  Helian Wei Wei had no idea as well, and promptly turned around to face His Highness who was flaming with a deadly aura. Then, she asked, "Since when did I become the juridical person of Jue Wei Group?"

  "This morning." Baili Jia Jue felt that his lethality would drop drastically if he looked at her beautiful and loving face. Immediately, he pulled her toward him and added, "As your betrothal gift."

  "Oh." Helian Wei Wei muttered before glancing back over her shoulder and spoke to Little Qingchen, "He says it's a betrothal gift, but I'm not that into entertainment companies actually. What if it goes bust?"

  "It's okay." Little Qingchen said adorably, "We can sell it off when that happens."

  Sell it off?

  The person-in-charge who was standing aside was completely bewildered when he overheard their conversation.

  Little Young Master, do you have any idea how profitable Jue Wei Group is?

  Do you know how much Jue Wei Group's share price has shot up?

  How can you even think of selling it off!

  Surely, a beautiful and wise person like Madam won't agree to this!

  With this in mind, the hotel's person-in-charge looked at Helian Wei Wei with gleaming eyes.

  Helian Wei Wei seemed to be mulling the suggestion over solemnly, as though she would reject it. To his surprise, Helian Wei Wei broke into a smile and said brightly, "Son, this is a great idea."

  Hotel's person-in-charge was rendered speechless. Which part of this idea is great?

  Baili Shangxie glared at the hotel manager and growled, "You think that Qingchen's idea is bad?"

  "This…" The hotel manager originally intended to speak his mind. However, it was crucial to be perceptive in their line of job. Hence, he immediately changed the words which were about to tumble off his tongue, "I think it's a really good idea! It's brilliant indeed!" He felt so frustrated that his tears were flowing in his heart.

  Baili Shangxie nodded his head in satisfaction and warned him seriously, "Everything that Qingchen says is good."

  "Yes, yes." The hotel's person-in-charge thought to himself. The devilish young master is wild and merciless when he is overprotective of his brother!

  Baili Jia Jue's murderous aura diminished significantly after this tiny disturbance. He looked at Helian Wei Wei resignedly and sighed silently, but his face betrayed no emotion as he said, "Come here."

  Helian Wei Wei went over to him smilingly and heard him whispered, "You don't want me to murder anyone?"

  "You don't really have to kill them, it's too bloody." Helian Wei Wei was being honest. Even though she was not a kind soul either, she could sense His Highness' unstable murderous aura since the beginning. She curiously wondered if it was related to the tearing of the space-time continuum. From her perspective, she did not care how Du Sisi would be punished, for she was a vindictive person as well. She only cared about the man before her, trying to avoid staining his hand in blood from killing other people.

  Baili Jia Jue gazed at the pair of smiling eyes. He never believed in karma, and he despised gods and buddhas.

  There was always this one line in the poem, "Stillness is a noble nature. A reticent nature brings silence, and with silence comes peace."

  He rarely voiced any objection to anything as he always kept his thoughts to himself.

  However, he was not a modest gentleman as well. He had always been using underhanded tactics to acquire what he wanted.

  He never thought that underhanded tactics had a negative connotation.

  For all these plans and conspiracies, schemes and tricks, they were all viable. As long as he could get his way, the means did not matter to him.

  Since she disliked him murdering anyone, he would not do it.

  However, he was not going to spare the Du family. Slowly and surely, he would crush each and every part of that deplorable family.

  Baili Jia Jue turned his head back and glanced at Du Sisi. His contented smile instantly faded and was replaced with an imperceptible smirk, exuding a menacingly cold aura. He did not do anything to Du Sisi directly. Instead, he spoke to the hotel manager beside him, "Tell Qing Long to hand in the evidence of the Du family's corruption over all these years. Since they're living in the Main Compound, make sure you completely knock them down from their undeserved position. I detest arrogant people that try to brag in front of me the most."

  He uttered casually and calmly, as if it was nothing at all.

  On the other hand, Du Sisi could not take it anymore. She pushed her chair away and raised her voice, yelling, "Are you trying to destroy the Du family? You can't do this!"

  Baili Jia Jue put on a perfect smile, but stared daggers at her with a piercing gaze, snarling, "Miss Du, you have quite a talent in making up stories and deceive Wei Wei into thinking that I've cheated on her. My son even wanted to run away from home, bringing his mother and brother along. You almost destroyed my family. Why can't I do the same thing to the Du family?"

  Du Sisi knew about this man's abilities. She always knew about his ability to overpower the entire A City.

  That was why she felt so proud when her uncle said that he wanted to introduce this man to her.

  The Du family will be doomed if it falls into his hands.

  Du Sisi turned around and tried to swallow her pride when she thought about it. Tears of grievance streamed down her face as she pleaded, "Wei Wei, we are old friends. You don't have to go so far, don't you? I wouldn't say anything like that earlier if I knew that President Jue is your boyfriend. I really didn't think of destroying anything."

  She believed that she would stand a chanc
e of survival if she said that. At the very least, Helian Wei Wei would have to take into account the current occasion. Everyone would look bad if she went too far in a class reunion.

  "It's not that you didn't think of destroying anything. It's just that you are not able to do so." Helian Wei Wei looked at her nonchalantly as she stood facing the light and continued, "I always loathe it when someone covets my man. So stop acting, Du Sisi. You wanted to steal my man even when you were lying, you really don't look as innocent as you claimed to be."

  Du Sisi was still hoping to weasel her way out. However, when she heard the ruthless reproval, her expression instantly stiffened and darkened…

  Chapter 989 - Bullying My Little Brother?

  Everyone here majored in law.

  Thus, everyone could understand what Helian Wei Wei meant without much contemplation.

  It was obvious that Du Sisi wanted to seduce him, but tried to feign innocence now because she was exposed.

  When they heard about it, the way that the surrounding classmates looked at Du Sisi changed abruptly. The previously awkward look transformed into a condemning glare.

  Basically, anyone who was not wallowing in her mire would loathe her. It did not matter, even if she had tremendous power or she was their old friend.

  Everyone would dislike this kind of woman silently. After all, anyone would have their guard up against a potential homewrecker.

  Du Sisi did not expect that her strategy of retreating to gain a bigger advantage would fail, and she was unable to escape from that situation earlier. Instead, it humiliated her even more because of Helian Wei Wei's words.

  Her cheeks were flushed red in embarrassment when she noticed the disapproving gazes thrown at her, and she could not stand to stay there anymore. Thus, she bit her lip furiously and ran away from the dining hall hurriedly.

  The reporters who were tipped off by someone were waiting outside the Emperor Hotel and instantly surrounded her.

  "Miss Du, rumor has it that your law firm lost the case on purpose after you have accepted it because your firm wants to help some unscrupulous businessmen to oppress the workers. Is that true?"
