The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 984
Chapter 984: Class Reunion: Second Step To Losing One’s Reputation
How could he possibly see her at such a place…
Robert was very excited, so he opened up his arms, urging to give Helian Wei Wei a hug!
He did not expect someone else to be quicker than him. That person stretched his hand out to pull Helian Wei Wei back in his arms.
Robert was so exhilarated that he did not even notice that the man who was giving him death glares. “Wei, what are you doing here? I haven’t seen you in three years! God, if those people know that you’re still alive, it will definitely make their blood boil.”
What is going on?
Du Sisi and Li Meng were left stunned!
Robert spoke too fast so some students were still trying to come to their senses of what was happening. However, at this juncture, Helian Wei Wei had already replied in fluent English, “Yes, I’m still alive. Don’t curse me, Robert. You better stop your habit of dancing around with excitement. If you hit my lecturer by accident, I would have to toss you out of the window.”
“Oh, Wei, you’re still so cool!” Robert’s eyes brightened up. Just then, he furrowed his brow and spoke in Chinese with a strong foreign accent, “But when did you become a mechanic? Did I mishear anything because of my poor Chinese proficiency?”
Helian Wei Wei chuckled nonchalantly, “Yes, I am fixing cars now.”
“Gosh! What’s wrong with you, coming all the way to China to fix cars!” Robert’s tone was simple but it sounded like he was rather off-topic.
Professor Yuan knew very few people were able to turn Robert into this state. “Do both of you know each other?”
“It’s more than just that, I lost three times to her in the past. Every single time we fight against each other, she would win!” Robert started to shake his limbs subconsciously when he spoke of Helian Wei Wei, “Old Yuan, was she your student? Oh, by the way, when I met Wei in America, she did introduce herself as a student, but didn’t you know that she got her Attorney Certification a long time ago? Perhaps it’s because Mainland China doesn’t allow non-graduates to file a lawsuit but it’s different in America. She was so popular back then. Oh well, in terms of a Chinese phrase, it means that she is ‘hot in demand’. Many people went to her to file lawsuits. Remember the information I gave you previously, they are actually all from her cases.”
At that moment, Du Sisi and Li Meng’s faces turned pale as though they were completely drained out of the blood. Other than the two of them, the others who made fun of Helian Wei Wei for being a mechanic as a result of failing to obtain a degree paled in shock as well.
Besides, they used to mock Helian Wei Wei with the story of Du Sisi ordering coffee in English previously. They assumed that she was merely a country bumpkin who had limited knowledge.
However, once they heard Helian Wei Wei speaking eloquently in English, they realized that something seemed to be wrong.
Nevertheless, this was not the end of the story!
Never had they expected that someone who did not even get a degree would be more remarkable than a legendary figure in the legal profession.
On top of that, they never expected that Helian Wei Wei had already started filing lawsuits in America when she was still studying!
Even if Du Sisi was excellent in this industry, she did not seem to be qualified for law firms in America!
It was clear that their capabilities were miles apart even without comparison.
Du Sisi gritted her teeth and tried not to show her look of embarrassment.
However, the malevolent Little Qingchen would definitely not let go of this opportunity. He reached out his tiny hand to grab his elder brother while pointing his finger at Du Sisi. “That lady wanted Mom to work as an assistant in her company. She even thought of introducing a useless man in her company to Mom. She perceived herself as someone who is more capable than Mom just because Mom doesn’t have academic qualifications.”
Such a childlike voice sounded obvious like making a complaint.
Baili Shangxie stretched out his hand to pat his younger brother’s head and replied coolly, “Id*ot.”
“I think so too,” Little Qingchen nodded obediently upon uttering those words.
The two little ones were not soft-hearted when it came to protecting Helian Wei Wei.
A rather short conversation was enough to make Du Sisi come to a dead end.
At that instant, Du Sisi wished that she could slip into a hole on the ground.
She could feel her face burning red but she had no choice but to force a smile at Professor Yuan who was staring at her with his brow furrowed as she tried to explain herself. “I thought Wei Wei was living a tough life so I thought of finding her a job. Who knows she is so secretive. Ah, it seems like I was being too nosy. I didn’t know that Wei Wei is so outstanding.”
Li Meng intended to help Du Sisi out of her predicament since they were on the same boat. “Yes, that’s right. Sisi was just being nice. She didn’t mean to impose on Wei Wei. Qingchen, you’re still young. So, it’s hard for you to understand the relationships between old classmates. We tend to lend a hand when we realize that someone is not doing well in life. Now that we know Wei Wei is so capable, we’re happy for her, too.”
Li Meng was the only one that knew how insincere she meant with her words.
They had intended to ridicule and tear down Helian Wei Wei’s reputation during this class reunion.
Moreover, they also wanted to make it clear to Professor Yuan that it was such a big mistake for him to not accept Sisi as his disciple!
They did not expect that they were the ones that would have been tied down like that!
Not only did Helian Wei Wei not disappoint Professor Yuan, but due to the presence of Robert, Professor Yuan’s face was filled with satisfaction toward Helian Wei Wei. Even their classmates had also changed their way of looking at them. All of them fixed their gaze at Helian Wei Wei, Sisi and her.
As a result of this, Li Meng could feel her chest being enveloped with raging jealousy.
Why is Helian Wei Wei so lucky!
Isn’t she just an attorney?
Even if she is not a mechanic, she could not compare with Sisi at present because they have different men!
Upon reaching a conclusion about this, Li Meng seemed to have calmed down. She could not be bothered by the looks others gave her as all she focused on was to shoot a glance at Du Sisi.
Du Sisi was smart so she altered her mood almost immediately and spoke to Helian Wei Wei, “Wei Wei, I said so because I really wanted to help you. Also, I was not aware of your actual situation. I hope you won’t blame me for that, will you?”
That phrase was commonly used in real life.
‘I hope you won’t blame me for that, will you?’ was a phrase that a woman who had stolen their best friend’s boyfriend would say after they caused pain to others.
Such a way of seeking sympathy could easily be accepted. Even if it might not be accepted by the parties involved, it would cause the surrounding people to be more tolerant of this issue.
“Wei Wei, we’re old classmates after all and Sisi surely didn’t mean any harm.”
In fact, everyone was clear of what they really meant with those words. However, no one would want to create a huge commotion on such an occasion due to certain insignificant remarks, especially with Du Sisi’s current identity and reputation.
Professor Yuan wanted to protect Helian Wei Wei. His face turned solemn as he thought of what to say.
Helian Wei Wei stopped him because everyone knew that a strong person like Helian Wei Wei would never allow an old man to stand up for her.
After all, she liked to settle her business on her own…
