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 a.s.suring 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 b.l.o.o.d.y.” 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 s.p.a.ce-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 G.o.ds and buddhas.

There was always this one line in the poem, “Stillness is a n.o.ble 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 chance 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 cla.s.s 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…
