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 chanic?” Helian Wei Wei repeated the words sarcastically.
Li ng started to explain, “Wei Wei, Cheng Cheng is just a child. He doesn’t an 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 sothing 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 chanic. 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 seed to imply that they should not bla her son for thinking that, as being a chanic 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, so of the comnts 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 an I won’t speak against it.
Perhaps, Li ng assud 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 ng finished speaking, the female classmate who ate with her earlier smiled and added, “Wei Wei, you really can’t bla Cheng Cheng on this, because he grew up in a very exceptional environnt. 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 ng’s husband might beco 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 ng’s husband, if Cheng Cheng’s grandfather calls the ministry, the nature of the issue would beco serious imdiately. You should know that every school would have to show so 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 an anything ill-hearted. We’re afraid that you might misunderstand, so we ntioned 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 rely 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 ng 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 ng 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 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 seed a bit shy as she said, “My uncle urgently called to et the chairman of Jue Wei Corporation.”
“Jue Wei?” Besides the few female classmates next to them, even Li ng’s eyes lit up with admiration and disbelief, “It’s the noble CEO who is reported in the dia? People say that he is very young and looks more handso 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 extrely 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 al together next ti. We’re still not too close to each other now.”
“See, she even used the word ‘we’ when talking about him.” Li ng pointed at her with her finger and teased, “How can you not be close to each other when you can have a al together? At least, you have t 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 et him personally. This man is like a god in the people’s eyes. If he doesn’t live in the seclusion of his own ho, his fa 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 ng, to et that exceptionally talented and sublily handso man.
Moreover, sooner or later, I can surely et 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 extrely appealing and amiable to others.
Just as she finished speaking, the male classmates ca over from the other side.
Many of them wanted to see if they had the chance to be acquainted with soone from Jue Wei Corporation. If they had connections with people there, they would have innurable business opportunities and advantages.
As such, the atmosphere in the coffee shop suddenly beca lively because of Du Sisi’s comnt. Everyone wanted to dig so 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 na is Jue Wei?”
“You heard right. She ntioned Jue Wei, indeed.” Helian Wei Wei raised her hand and placed it on her forehead.
She thought to herself in ruminating silence. Hmm, this na should be quite common...right?
Why did my last word ‘right’ sound so unsure?
