Chapter 1084: Fake Innocence
Her words made Xia Ling’s mood even worse.
She returned to her room unhappily. Xia Ling locked herself up and wasn’t willing to see anyone.
Xia Yu went to find Pei Ziheng. “Brother Ziheng, Sister was persuaded by me for a while and feels much better now. You don’t have to worry. She’s a little tired and has gone back to sleep.”
Pei Ziheng heaved a sigh of relief. There was a knock on the door.
Pei Ziheng said, “Come in.”
Chu Chen walked in wearing a dark black suit with his hair combed back meticulously. He lowered his head slightly in front of Pei Ziheng and said respectfully, “Boss, the car is ready, you can depart anytime.”
Pei Ziheng said to Xia Yu, “Take good care of your sister. I’ll come back to see her at night.”
Chu Chen raised his head after hearing this and interrupted. “Boss, didn’t you just ask me to set a date with Jason? He told me there’s no problem and asked for you to please meet him at the club in the evening.”
Pei Ziheng paused and said to Xia Yu, “I’ll come back tomorrow. Call me if anything happens.”
Xia Yu obediently said yes and watched as the two men walked out. When they were far away, she slowly walked down and inadvertently walked to the coffee bar on the first floor and chatted with a few subordinates who Pei Ziheng had brought along on the business trip. “Brother Ziheng went out early in the morning, don’t you have to follow him?”
Several subordinates looked at each other and smiled kindly. “Miss Xia Yu, come sit here. How do you feel today, is your body still okay? Chairman has Chief Chu to accompany him these days and it doesn’t involve us. We’ve almost finished the project on our side, we’re only doing some finishing work at the hotel.”
They all knew Xia Yu was a girl adopted by Pei Ziheng and were all very polite to her.
Xia Yu slowly stirred the drink in front of her with a spoon and revealed a confused look. “Is it already in the final stage? Why do I feel like Brother Ziheng has been even busier these days. He only came back at night yesterday and even brought a very beautiful big sister. Was that big sister here for work too?”
“Oh.” Someone couldn’t help but laugh out, then felt a little awkward. How could this kind of thing be casually talked about?
However, Pei Ziheng was usually extremely self-disciplined, and it was rare to hear that he actually brought a woman back to his hotel, so the group of subordinates’ gossiping souls burned with curiosity. They couldn’t help but inquire. “What kind of woman was it? How did her relationship with Chairman look like?” They had long been guessing what type of woman Pei Ziheng liked. It was always a good thing to know more about the preferences of their own Boss, as it could come in handy someday.
Xia Yu did not hide it from them and described the news she heard from Xia Ling.
Several subordinates were thoughtful. Could it be that Chairman liked this kind of woman?
Xia Yu revealed the innocent demeanor of a little girl. “I’ve told you so much, you should also tell me, what has Brother Ziheng and Brother Chu gone out to do? Brother Ziheng said he was meeting someone tonight at the club called Jason or something and won’t be coming back tonight.”
Several subordinates looked at each other again. One of them asked, “The Blue Dream club?”
The other said, “It probably is. Jason has a half stake in the Blue Dream Club and often entertains guests there.”
Xia Yu asked curiously, “What’s the Blue Dream Club?”
Several people did not answer her, but a woman in her thirties gently smoothed Xia Yu’s hair and said, “Be good, it’s not something a little lady like you should know. If we tell you, the Chairman would scold us.”
Xia Yu showed a disappointed expression and continued to ask further, but could not obtain any more information.
She sighed heavily inside. Who told her to appear as a virtuous lady in front of these Imperial Entertainment’s employees? She couldn’t even lose her temper and whine. Sigh, it was helpless, she could only walk away slowly.
The Imperial Entertainment’s employees were long restraining their bellyful of gossip. They saw that Xia Yu was gone and quickly discussed. “This Jason really has a way, no wonder people said he knows how to toad for personal gain. Chairman sees so many partners every year and beautiful women line up from one street to the other and yet, Chairman has never taken an interest in any of them. But this Jason, he not only sent one, but he’s even succeeded in sending for two successive nights. He’s really good.”
“Exactly, exactly.” Several others nodded and agreed.
“I didn’t think the Chairman would like those hot women with big breasts.” Some mused.
“Not necessarily,” another person said mysteriously. “I met Chu Chen in the lobby this morning and saw him on the phone saying he wanted someone with smaller breasts, a shorter height, skinnier, younger, with more innocent eyes... maybe Chairman was not satisfied yesterday and has thus changed his taste today.”
They discussed with great interest.
Xia Yu stood behind the narrow partition wall. The more she listened, the darker her expression became.
Smaller chest, shorter, thinner, younger, with innocent eyes...
Every item was in line with Xia Ling.
Xia Yu was shocked by this idea. What should she do, what should she do? It turned out Xia Ling had snatched away so much love from Brother Ziheng. If the two of them were in love, how could she still have her foothold in the Pei family?!
No, she must not let that happen!
On the other side of the wall, several employees were still discussing. “Well, it’s all because of the Chairman himself. There are so many women throwing themselves at him and he hasn’t even touched any of them. He doesn’t even have a fixed mistress with a long-term relationship, intellect and sober.”
“Right? But I heard he’s also picky and likes clean women. I eavesdropped on Chu Chen’s phone call this morning and he said to prepare a virgin, the purer the better.”
“Tsk, it couldn’t be that he doesn’t touch the female stars because he finds them dirty, right?”
“No way, the woman last night was probably experienced in the night industry.”
“That’s why he’s not satisfied and has changed it to pure today.” An employee summed up confidently. “Men are all the same. I think our Chairman also has a virgin complex.”
“That’s very much possible, he has the capital...”
The group of people discussed heatedly and Xia Yu no longer heard what followed after.
A glimmer of light flashed across her mind and she retreated quietly.
She went back to her room and locked the doors and windows. She paced around with a heavy expression and finally decided to go out after a long time. While nobody was noticing her, she walked quickly five to six streets away and called a cab to bring her to an internet cafe far away. She researched on some information and maps for a long time, then took out a pen and paper to draw on before leaving.
She entered a discount mall and bought cheap clothing that was not aesthetically pleasing. She then took off her expensive dress and placed it inside the cabinet and walked out wearing cheap clothes.
She poked a few holes in the clothes and made a few rolls in the green belt. She put mud on her face and looked almost like a beggar wandering the streets. She was dirty and ugly. She found a river to look at her reflection and was satisfied. She was finally satisfied. She took out the map she drew and walked in the direction of the red light district.
