Chapter 987 - His Highness Retaliation Part 1 (1/2)

“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!

n.o.body shall mess with His Highness!

As a mercenary tyc.o.o.n, 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-cla.s.s 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 flicking 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?”
