Thus, everyone could understand what Helian Wei Wei meant without much contemplation.
It was obvious that Du Sisi wanted to seduce him, but tried to feign innocence now because she was exposed.
When they heard about it, the way that the surrounding cla.s.smates looked at Du Sisi changed abruptly. The previously awkward look transformed into a condemning glare.
Basically, anyone who was not wallowing in her mire would loathe her. It did not matter, even if she had tremendous power or she was their old friend.
Everyone would dislike this kind of woman silently. After all, anyone would have their guard up against a potential homewrecker.
Du Sisi did not expect that her strategy of retreating to gain a bigger advantage would fail, and she was unable to escape from that situation earlier. Instead, it humiliated her even more because of Helian Wei Wei's words.
Her cheeks were flushed red in embarra.s.sment when she noticed the disapproving gazes thrown at her, and she could not stand to stay there anymore. Thus, she bit her lip furiously and ran away from the dining hall hurriedly.
The reporters who were tipped off by someone were waiting outside the Emperor Hotel and instantly surrounded her.
“Miss Du, rumor has it that your law firm lost the case on purpose after you have accepted it because your firm wants to help some unscrupulous businessmen to oppress the workers. Is that true?”
“Won't your conscience p.r.i.c.k you after constantly helping unlawful people like this?”
“Miss Du, please answer the questions. Have you ever thought about those who can't make money easily? You used dirty tactics to block their only hope, after they finally managed to pool enough money to sue the evil businessmen. Do you even feel any guilt?”
“You accepted their money and lost on purpose. As a lawyer, isn't this a betrayal to the most basic work ethic?”
Du Sisi did not expect to be bombarded by these kinds of questions the moment she came out of the hotel. Since she was caught by surprise, she was too fl.u.s.tered and froze on the spot, with her ashen face displayed in full view. n.o.body should've any idea about the things that I did. Those stupid farmers knew nothing about it. They even gave me the smelly local products after the lawsuit, and said that they were very grateful to me even if they lost.
Who is the one that revealed all these things to the reporters?
No matter how well Du Sisi usually hid it, her temper of a spoiled rich young lady was still very apparent. Flaming in fury, she screamed and flung her bag to the floor, shouting like a rabid wench, “All of you shut up! Shut! Up!”
The act completely destroyed the image Du Sisi worked so hard to maintain all this while.
The luxurious dining hall had a TV where they could watch the live broadcast clearly.
A lot of the cla.s.smates shook their heads in disgust and sighed silently.
Helian Wei Wei poked the man sitting beside her and whispered, “You were holding yourself back so much earlier. You were just waiting for this to happen, weren't you?”
“I wouldn't,” Baili Jia Jue replied with a smile. His eyes were filled with devilish darkness as he added, “She wouldn't have brought shame to herself if she didn't claim to be lady owner of the Jue Wei Group.”
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrow and thought to herself. When did a certain His Majesty become so kind?
Then, he added smilingly, “I could make the whole family's lives a living h.e.l.l if I wanted to.”
Helian Wei Wei was mum.
Li Meng was still trying to appeal for Du Sisi, “I didn't expect Du Sisi to be so foolish.”
Professor Yuan glanced at her and said disapprovingly for the first time, “She wasn't being foolish. She only has herself to blame. If anyone tries to pull this kind of stunt in the future, don't say that you're from A University! You won't just be embarra.s.sing the school, you're also embarra.s.sing all your cla.s.smates! Accepting illegal money and losing the lawsuit on purpose. This is the lowest kind of lawyer I have ever seen.”
“She would have to face jail time if she did this in the United States,” Robert said sternly. It was not hard to see his intense loathing toward this matter.
Li Meng's smile froze when she was refuted by both of the two most authoritative figures, and could only shut her mouth in defeat. However, she did not expect to meet Baili Jia Jue's gaze when she looked up. A mere look into the dark depths of his eyes caused her heart to skip a few beats.
When their eyes met, he gave her a little evil smirk. That kind of smile was so bewitching, it could make anyone fall for him.
Li Meng had always thought that she was quite attractive, as a lot of men still pursued her even after she was married. After all, she was pet.i.te and fair. She was also quite particular about her attire and makeup.
Besides, her current situation and expression made her look so fragile. She looked at Baili Jia Jue with a vulnerable gaze, as if she wanted to say something but could not do so.
Li Meng did not think that her wrongdoing was overly disastrous. After all, the one who concocted the lie was not her.
The most that she did was trying to embarra.s.s Helian Wei Wei.
Hence, it would not affect her even if anything happened.
With that thought in mind, she raised her head and looked at Baili Jia Jue with a pitiful look again. Surely, all men have a hint of compa.s.sion in their hearts.
Besides, that man even smiled at me earlier…
Li Meng could not help having some ideas when she thought of that and looked at Baili Jia Jue again.
The other cla.s.smates were already ordering their food. It was not easy to hold this gathering after all, so they would not split up just like that. However, the atmosphere was evidently not as cheerful as before. Everyone had lowered their heads to check the menu, so n.o.body saw her disgraceful demeanor.
Even Helian Wei Wei was in a dilemma about what she wanted to eat. It was a difficult task for a glutton like her to decide on the menu
Meanwhile, the two little ones sat on two little chairs respectively. Baili Shangxie extended his hand to press the menu down for Qingchen, so that he could choose whatever he liked at his own leisure. Needless to say, his quality as a young master was already in full display. He asked the hotel manager to serve a gla.s.s of milk for his little brother, without forgetting to test the temperature first before feeding it to little Qingchen. However, he saw Li Meng's unsightly behavior when he raised his head. He pouted his little lips coolly and spat out one word, “Foolish.”
Little Qingchen was puzzled about the person his brother was talking about. Thus, he raised his little head from the menu.
Baili Shangxie pressed his little brother's messy hair down and touched little Qingchen's face. His little face was still looking cool as he said, “It's nothing. Choose what you want to eat. You can even ask for anything that's not on the menu. I'll have them buy it for you.”
The waiter was so stunned that he became speechless. He has a severe brother complex! I've never seen the devilish young master act so patiently when he talks to anyone!
Usually, he would only speak curtly to others.
Such as ‘buzz off', ‘annoying' or ‘foolish'.
Because of his son's att.i.tude, everyone thought that Chairman Jue used to be in the mafia when they first joined the company.
It was because the devilish young master acted like an Italian mafia. The aura he radiated did not feel like a three-year-old.
Besides, the child's IQ was unbelievably high. He could play these adults in the palm of his hand.
If he uttered the word ‘foolish', it would only mean that it was somebody's unlucky day…
