The Anarchic Consort c1-1376

by Warring Young Seven

  However, it was now crystal-clear who was actually the one that had been misbehaving!

  Little Fatty Cheng who was standing aside was completely shocked. He did not understand why his father was so angry, as he stood trembling in a corner. He did not even offer a single word, even when his mother who doted on him the most was slapped.

  Professor Yuan could see clearly that this child was insolent when bullying his peers, yet cowardly when it came to protecting his family. Truly, he was a hopeless child.

  No one from this wretched family could compare to anyone from Wei Wei's family.

  Indeed, no one could be more protective of his brother than little Baili Shangxie. When he thought of Little Fatty Cheng's repulsive action just now, he became fuming in anger.

  Baili Shangxie glanced at the person-in-charge beside him and spoke coolly, his natural authoritative aura unaffected by his young age, "Throw this family out and inform the reporters outside, Jue Wei Group will announce a new successor three days later."

  "A new successor?" The person-in-charge glanced at his boss, but Baili Jia Jue's face remained emotionless. He could not help but ask weakly, "Who will it be?"

  Without more elaboration, Baili Shangxie held his brother and said coolly, "Him."

  The hotel manager's mouth twitched when he met Little Qingchen's eyes. He held his head and pondered to himself. A bloody massacre is brewing within Jue Wei Group! Little Young Master, you little devil with a brother complex!

  Li Meng tasted shame for the first time in her life. As she was kicked out of the hotel, her husband berated her and swore to divorce her.

  In the end, they were merely suffering from their repugnant actions.

  Baili Shangxie took his eyes off that family and earnestly put Little Qingchen back on his tiny seat.

  His younger brother was simply drinking his milk obediently. He didn't even provoke anyone, how dare that fatty call him a country bumpkin for nor reason.

  If imperial mother wasn't here, I would have slaughtered all of them and crushed their souls! !hat a bunch of stupid humans!

  However, I estimate that the strength of my punch will be enough to make that Little Fatty Cheng ache for a week!

  Little Fatty Cheng was indeed in excruciating pain. Thus, his first response was to call his grandpa to state his grievances…

  Chapter 992 - When His Highness Met His Love Rival

  Although Little Fatty Cheng was a timid boy, he was just like his mum. He could bully others, but he could not stand being bullied.

  He made the call secretly behind Li Meng's back.

  It was because Little Fatty Cheng was so terrified when they left the hotel. His father kept insisting on divorcing his mom, he had never seen his dad so angry before.

  Once his call went through, Little Fatty Cheng started crying miserably. First, he mentioned that his parents were quarreling. Then, he lamented that he was bullied by his classmate today and he begged his grandfather to seek justice on his behalf.

  Everyone knew that the Li family had only one daughter, thus this grandson had become Li Qingzhu's treasured grandson.

  Li Qingzhu became greatly infuriated as he could not stand it when he heard that his grandson was bullied. He was in the education ministry, so he had quite a temper too. "Tell grandpa, is it the bumpkin that you mentioned who bullied you?"

  "Uhm!" Little Fatty Cheng immediately answered affirmatively, and continued crying so dramatically that he started belching.

  Li Qingzhu swore silently before consoling him, "Cheng Cheng, tell grandpa where you are now. I will get someone to fetch you, are your parents still there?"

  "Yes, they are," he wailed. "We're at E-Emperor Hotel, come quickly, grandpa." Little Fatty Cheng sobbed as he hung up the phone, adamantly plotting his revenge to return the blow he received on his face. His mother had mentioned before that his grandfather had the authority to forbid people from receiving any education, so even the rich had to succ.u.mb to politicians like him!

  Li Qingzhu stared at his phone momentarily and called the kindergarten immediately. First, he angrily berated the headmaster, which made him feel slightly better. However, his tone was still dissatisfied as he growled, "I tell you, you must transfer this Helian Qingchen out today! What kind of students are you taking in? What poor upbringing they have!"

  The headmaster apologized incessantly, but he still replied responsibly, "Is there any misunderstanding between the two children? What if I get Qingchen to apologize to Cheng Cheng?"

  "Headmaster Dong, children can be forgiven if they make mistakes once or twice. If they keep repeating their faults, as the Deputy Minister, I have to wonder if you are fit to be in your current position." Li Qingzhu was obviously pressurizing him with his status. After saying that, he hung up immediately without waiting for the headmaster's reply. He believed that the headmaster would be able to weigh the pros and cons, and settle this matter accordingly. How can a small bumpkin even think of comparing themselves with our Cheng Cheng? He should look at himself in the mirror!

  Li Qingzhu had just risen from his chair and was about to pick up his grandson, when the phone on his desk rang again.

  He did not pay much attention and assumed that it was Headmaster Dong. Thus, he swiftly picked up the phone and yelled, "You've made up your mind, right? Fire him as soon as possible!"

  "Deputy Minister Li." A familiar chuckle echoed from the receiver. Every word that the caller spoke sounded extremely threatening, like an insurmountable pressure weighing on one's shoulder, "Who are you thinking of firing?"

  Li Qingzhu's eyes trembled all of a sudden, his voice turned unsteady as he stammered, "Tang, Master Tang…"

  "Heh." The man indifferently propped his slender legs on the desk, as the abnormally sharp rays of light that were shining through the large French windows fell on his boots.. Then, he asked casually, "I just received some information about your corruption from the Jue Wei Group today. I was going to take action in two to three days, but your attitude makes me want to expedite your case."

  Li Qingzhu's lips paled as he muttered, "N-No, Master Tang, please hear me out. I thought you were…"

  "You thought it was Headmaster Dong that was calling?" The man interrupted his stuttering, as he fidgeted a long cigarette with his fingers. A smile was on his face, but his eyes were freezing cold as he continued, "Li Qingzhu, don't you know that little Helian Qingchen is under the protection of Tang Sect? Oh right, you really don't seem to know. But that's ok, at least I know that your grandson frequently calls him a bumpkin and you asked Headmaster Dong to expel him."

  This news was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky!

  Li Qingzhu fell weakly back into his wooden chair in shock. When he looked up again, someone had already handcuffed him.

  He had always known that those who were targeted by the Tang Sect would meet a miserable outcome.

  However, he did not know that those who provoked His Highness would basically be wiped out.

  Back in the office, the man tilted his head and lit a cigarette. Then, he instructed the person beside him with a smile, "Give my reply to Chairman Jue, tell him that I hope our future collaborations can be as pleasant. Also, please tell him that it's impossible to avoid love rivals at a class reunion..."

  When Baili Jia Jue read the message that he received on his mobile phone, he raised his brows curiously when he saw the words 'love rival.'

  "Why aren't you eating?" Helian Wei Wei was still peeling crayfishes diligently when she saw that His Highness had stopped eating, his handsome face slightly cold.

  Baili Jia Jue merely smiled and held Helian Wei Wei's hand. Then, he opened his mouth and ate the crayfish, replying softly, "It's nothing. I was just worried you would be tired from all the peeling."

  "I'm not tired!" Helian Wei Wei lowered her voice and spoke in his ear, "This is what a mercenary tycoon should do! However, can you just eat those on your plate and stop eating from my fingers? My classmates are watching, that's not very appr
opriate."

  Baili Jia Jue could almost see her wagging tail. It was actually a wonderful thing to see his little Phoenix becoming confused about her various roles…

  "Here's to you, Wei Wei." Xiao Zifeng stood up from the chair. He was extremely handsome, and even his posture was eye-catching. Besides, his smile was very gentle, while his deep charming eyes seemed bottomless and brimmed with emotions. Sweetly, he said to her, "If someone treats you poorly in the future, you can always turn to me."

  Helia Wei Wei slightly choked on the crawfish in her mouth. Why does the toast sound slightly odd?

  Nevertheless, Helian Wei Wei could still feel his kindness. Thus, she stood up, raised her goblet, and was about to speak…

  Suddenly, someone put his arms over her shoulders. It was none other than her possessive husband, Baili Jia Jue. His smile was unchanged and he remained graceful as he uttered, "Wei Wei does not need to toast to that because she will never have to turn to you."

  "Really?" Xiao Zifeng looked up with a slight smile, as he replied meaningfully, "There are always circ.u.mstances in the world that are beyond our control. Anyway, congratulations, Chairman Jue, for being so fortunate."

  Baili Jia Jue smirked evilly and replied, "Compared to those who failed to obtain what they longed for, I am indeed very fortunate."

  Xiao Zifeng's fingers tightened slightly, but he did not say more. His Highness' comment was too ruthless!

  Helian Wei Wei was really puzzled by their conversation. Needless to say, she was quite slow-witted in certain aspects.

  "I have always felt that Handsome Xiao speaks strangely," Helian Wei Wei whispered to His Highness when they sat down. No matter how dense she was, she could still read people's expressions.

  The two little ones were utterly dumbfounded… Please don't insult the skill of reading people by saying that!

  No matter what, once you mention the person's name, father will definitely fly off the handle and go berserk!

  Chapter 993 - A Scheming Prince Discovered His Love Rival

  The two little ones were taken aback after hearing the statement. However, Baili Jia Jue was not infuriated in the least bit. Instead, he laughed and started to analyze with Helian Wei Wei in a serious tone, a dim light flickering at the bottom of his irises, as he asked, "Did you feel that his words were hostile?"

  Helian Wei Wei nodded sheepishly.

  Baili Jia Jue let out a long sigh and said, "It's very obvious that he doesn't want us to grow old together, just like your female classmates from earlier."

  "But, why?" Helian Wei Wei could not quite place her finger on it. "He used to treat me quite well when we were studying together."

  Quite well? Baili Jia Jue clenched his fists furiously and forcefully crumpled the napkin in his hands up, but his charming smile grew even more alluring as he replied, "Perhaps, it's because of my existence. I'm sure you know that my handsome appearance always causes a lot of unnecessary troubles."

  "Are you saying that…" Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes and exclaimed quietly, "I see!"

  Baili Jia Jue dabbed the corners of his mouth and said, "I think I should still elaborate a little more."

  "Not necessary!" Helian Wei Wei grabbed his hand overbearingly and looked at Xiao Zifeng in the near distance. Then, she shook her head with pity as she said, "Why haven't I thought of it? He never had a girlfriend in school, and words say he's been always single, so that's why."

  The two little ones exchanged a glance and began whispering to each other, "Brother, Pretty Wei Wei can't be thinking what I assume she's thinking, right?"

  "That's quite likely, since Father is too shameless and can be quite ruthless when he wants to destroy people." Baili Shangxie seemed cold, as the feeling that he should keep his younger brother away from their father grew in his heart.

  The telepathy between the father and the two sons was rather accurate. Baili Jia Jue knew what the two little ones were thinking clearly, hence the quick warning glare tossed at them. Turning back, he spoke calmly as if he was describing something very common, "Wei Wei, this is still something personal for a guy, after all. It's most likely that he doesn't want anyone to find out.""Don't worry, I understand." Helian Wei Wei replied, as she ate the piece of teppanyaki beef that His Highness had put in her plate. Then, she continued quietly, "Actually, it's quite common nowadays for a man to like another man. He need not restrain himself like this at all."

  The two little ones exchanged another glance as they screamed internally. She does really think that!

  His Highness was beyond satisfied that Helian Wei Wei came to his d.e.s.i.r.ed conclusion, and thus resumed feeding his Little Phoenix with a lingering smile.

  Although the first half of the meal was somewhat dramatic, everyone who came for the class reunion enjoyed themselves in the end.

  On top of that, the Emperor Hotel had specially prepared a cake for them, with all the classmates' names written on it.

  Professor Yuan was an outstanding teacher and treated each student well. When the event approached its end, he reached out and patted every student's shoulder with a proud beaming expression.

  Robert originally wanted to catch up with Helian Wei Wei, but after some observation, his splendid lawyer instincts told him that he had better not flirt with Wei Wei in front of that man. So, he acted wisely and left with Professor Yuan.

  Since it was such a rare occasion that everyone enjoyed themselves, some students even stayed back to sing karaoke.

  As Xiao Zifeng watched the lady laughing and smiling among the crowd, an irresistible urge pushed him to give it another try.

  Although he had already decided to give them his blessings…

  He still felt that the man would perhaps cherish Wei Wei even more, if he made him feel insecure.

  Xiao Zifeng raised his gaze, as he stubbed out the cigarette in his hands against the ashtray. Then, he ambled toward Helian Wei Wei and said, "May I have a moment with you?"

  Helian Wei Wei held mixed feelings toward Xiao Zifeng after hearing His Highness' advice. After a few moments of hesitation, she nodded generously and said, "Sure."

  Baili Jia Jue was signing his name on the paper that was brought by the hotel manager, as the chairman's signature was required in order to waive the bill.

  The two little ones were extremely confused. Is Father not going to stop them from speaking alone?

  "Father, don't tell me that you're trying to flaunt how much of a gentleman you are." Inside Baili Shangxie's heart, his Imperial Father was always as cunning as a fox and was not gentlemanly at all.

  Baili Jia Jue simply sat there with his legs crossed, as he lowered his luxurious ball pen onto the table. Slowly, he responded, "Why? Is it very odd?"

  "Very odd indeed!" Little Qingchen nodded and walked toward Baili Jia Jue with his devil plush toy in his arms. Then, he stared at his father with his large, beady eyes, hoping to pry anything out of him.

  Baili Jia Jue let out a laugh and supported his chin with his fingers lazily, the same dim glow flickering within his eyes. "You see, in order for some people to give up entirely, they need a little bit of private time together."

  Baili Shangxie could not read his Imperial Father's mind, so he looked away and held his younger brother's hand. He had decided to look at what their mother and that person Xiao would be talking about.

  The two little ones could hide very easily. They only had to squat down around the corner like little mushrooms to hear the conversation along the corridor.

  "Wei Wei." Xiao Zifeng gazed at the starlight beyond the corridor, the corner of his lips formed a gentle smile as he said in a tone lower than usual, "There's something that I've been holding inside for a long time and I feel that I must tell you."

  Helian Wei Wei's eyes twinkled as she thought. Is he going to come out so directly now?

  Xiao Zifeng turned his head around and met Helian Wei Wei's eyes. Though he did not know what was so exciting for her, he had always felt that this was the girl that he ha
d fallen in love all along. From then until now, she had never changed. She always had that empress-like aura but for some reason, she also seemed soft and gentle.

  "Speak whatever's on your mind." Helian Wei Wei felt that she ought to be comforting him at this moment and added, "But, don't force yourself if you can't."

  "Okay." Xiao Zifeng stared at those beautiful, starry eyes of hers and could feel his heartbeat in his throat. He had apparently overestimated himself, as he gradually realized that he simply could not control just how much he liked her. "Actually, I-I…"

  Helian Wei Wei was a secret agent, so she could inevitably feel his intense nervousness, which ultimately softened her heart. With a light tone, she interrupted him mid-sentence, "I know what you want to say."

  "You knew?" Xiao Zifeng was startled, as his irises began to tremble.

  Helian Wei Wei answered yes solemnly and reached out to pat his shoulder, saying, "It's not your fault that your s.e.x.u.a.l orientation is different, I promise to keep this secret for you. I know the reason you're telling me is that you see me as your friend, and even Jue had reminded me that you'll be looking for me. What I'm trying to say is that no matter who you like, whether male or female, as long as you don't snatch my man, I'll support you all the way as a friend!"

  He ought to be touched, right!

  Helian Wei Wei was very satisfied with herself. At least, she managed to find a good friend from school. She used to only have male classmates who were best friends with her.

  Handsome Xiao actually regarded me with such importance, so His Highness must be right!

  The two little ones were at an utter loss of words.

  Xiao Zifeng was absolutely stunned when he heard Helian Wei Wei's words. Instantly, he tried to explain himself.
