The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot-Chapter 123: When to Use Force?

The door to the hospital room opened. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Mrs. Shen was curled up on the bed, holding her head and trembling all over. Next to her, the nurse had been beaten black and blue, piled up like dominoes, unconscious.

Pei Jue casually closed the door and said in a low voice, "Does your hand hurt? You’ve worked hard. Don’t worry about the surveillance; I’ll take care of it."

On one hand, it was to provide Qingwu a space to operate, and on the other hand, to handle everything in the room that could pose a threat to Qingwu.

Qingwu looked up and said blandly, "Very thoughtful."

"Of course, it’s an assassin’s instinct, and also what a fiancé should do."

He didn’t think Qingwu’s act of hitting someone was excessive at all; in fact, he thought it was great she could let loose for once!

"It serves as a stress-relief session too, which isn’t bad."

Qingwu looked at him speechlessly.

In his eyes, she hit people just to relieve stress?

Handing the divorce papers to Major Gou, Qingwu said lightly, "Someone will come for her in the next few days. If convenient, keep them here and give them to me."

As Major Gou looked at the divorce agreement, he finally felt he could report back! Whatever the young lady said must be convenient!

"Convenient! Rest assured, young lady, whoever comes looking for the old lady, I’ll detain them and send them to you!"

"Thank you."

Major Gou smiled honestly, his eyes almost shining as he looked at Qingwu!

Look, this is the dignity the Shen family’s young lady should have, so elegant, so sensible, so impressive, so smart... Managed to get the divorce papers so easily!

This isn’t just a divorce report; it’s a golden brick for his promotion!

Major Gou walked out of the hospital with his golden brick, his excitement evident.

Pei Jue took Qingwu’s hand and gently massaged her wrist, even bringing it to his lips to blow on it, as if coaxing a child!

Qingwu felt a bit helpless, wanting to withdraw her hand, but found Pei Jue didn’t give her a chance to do so, leaving her no choice but to feel his warm yet overwhelming presence...

Elder Shen’s call came through, and Qingwu answered it casually.

"Sweetheart, is everything settled? Did the old lady make it difficult for you?"

"Handled it, no big deal, I hit her."

"Oh, you hit her... What did you say? You hit whom? Mrs. Shen?" Elder Shen suddenly perked up, losing interest in his chess game.

"Yes, hit her."

Elder Shen’s mouth could practically fit an egg!

After a moment, he finally spoke up.

"Child, how could you handle things this way? As a junior, how could you hit someone?"

"Didn’t Grandpa tell you to bring Pei Jue along? Couldn’t he handle something like this? What if you got tired? Is my precious granddaughter’s hand meant for hitting that old hag?"

Qingwu’s eyes fell on Pei Jue beside her. Listening to Elder Shen, a smile appeared in her eyes.

"Qingwu, you’re too inflexible! Grandpa asked you to bring Pei Jue so that he could lend a hand when necessary, not act as your young master’s servant! Worn out, right?"

Qingwu pressed her lips together, her heart feeling warm.

"Grandpa won’t blame me?"

Elder Shen chuckled, exchanging a knowing look with Elder Zuo Jing’an beside him.

"Foolish child, don’t I know the kind of person you and the old woman are? If you hit her, she deserved it! Hit her and be done with it. Would Grandpa blame my precious granddaughter for someone irrelevant? If there was ever a day you thought Pei Jue was annoying, Grandpa could help you carry the sack!"

Qingwu burst out laughing.

She knew Elder Shen was joking to comfort her, even dragging Pei Jue into it...

"Remember to come home for dinner. Don’t worry about other matters; Grandpa’s not old yet and can handle it."

"Okay, I will."

Qingwu put away her phone, her face naturally lighting up with a smile.

Pei Jue reached out and ruffled her hair, complaining slightly, "Grandpa’s going to beat me. Looks like I’ll need to buy some gifts to bribe him tonight!"

So he actually overheard the call... Feeling embarrassed, Qingwu turned her face away slightly, her eyes turning red.

Pei Jue bent down slightly, leaning closer to Qingwu, his breath almost touching her face with a hint of warmth.

"Join me in buying gifts, hmm?"

"No, I have other things to do."

Pei Jue didn’t push, knowing the young miss had many things to handle. Truthfully, he also had a backlog of work recently, especially since Annie was borrowed by Shen Zhongshuang and hadn’t returned, adding to his workload!

"Okay, I guess you’re headed to Chang Yue Laboratory? I’ll take you there, and we can have dinner together at home tonight."

"No need, I’ll head home myself tonight."

Pei Jue smiled helplessly, the corners of his mouth curling into a doting arc.

"My fiancée doesn’t seem to realize that every time you do an experiment, you forget the time? By the time you finish dinner, the elders at home might not see anyone tonight. I’d better come pick you up!"

Every time Qingwu worked on an experiment, she’d get so engrossed that she wouldn’t stop until a result was reached. And once there was a result, she’d start a new set of comparative experiments, deeply immersed in work.

Tonight was, after all, Elder Shen’s first day back home—a family banquet for the Shen family she couldn’t miss.

Many times before, he had waited for her at the door, watching the stars and moon, yet never complaining.

Thinking of this brought a faint blush to Qingwu’s cheeks.

"Okay, I’ll wait for you tonight."

Driving Qingwu to the entrance of Chang Yue Laboratory, Pei Jue kept one hand on the steering wheel while hooking Qingwu’s hand with the other, placing a kiss on the back of her hand.

"See you tonight."

His actions were gentlemanly and elegant, his movements in the kiss composed.

But the moment his lips touched her hand, she felt a burning warmth settle there...

As Pei Jue’s car left, several people from the lab behind Qingwu started to whistle.

"Oh wow, President Pei seems very sophisticated!"

"A hand-kissing gesture, so gentlemanly and elegant, some really like it!"

"... Shut up, you’re a guy, stop being gross! Boss, we all think President Pei is pretty good, when are you going to..."

Tian Ji mimicked slicing his neck, "Seal the deal?"

Qingwu glanced at them faintly, "You want his life? Then go yourself. The organization won’t participate."

"No! I meant when are you going to push him over with force? Judging by his physique, tsk tsk, boss, you won’t lose out, and he certainly won’t lose out either..."

If they kept talking, Qingwu wouldn’t be able to look at Pei Jue normally next time!

"Shut up, focus on the experiment! Did the last shipment of equipment have DNA testing capabilities?"

Po Jun chewed on a grass stem, thinking for a moment, "Boss! You don’t mean this family isn’t your real family, do you? It can’t be! They’ve been so good to you! It’s not easy to deceive such honest folks..."

Qingwu couldn’t hold back and gave a swift kick!

"Get lost."

A group of them clutched their rears and ran into the lab.

Qingwu took out hair samples sealed in plastic bags, labeling four of them with different names.

"Boss, aren’t these from Mrs. Shen, your grandpa, and your dad? Who’s this other one from?"

"Shen Yurou, the old lady’s foster granddaughter."
