Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Is the Little Cabbage Ruined by the Pig? Chapter 71: Chapter 71 Is the Little Cabbage Ruined by the Pig? All the geniuses at the Beidou Star Laboratory were saved by Qingwu from the international line back in the day. Their IQs were forcibly developed to the human limit, and they were able to list out the experimental data Qingwu wanted within five minutes.
“I need to conduct a control experiment on Illusion Heart Grass to see which ailments it’s most effective against.”
Qingwu looked at the data in front of her and quickly found the key point.
“It’s most likely brain cancer.”
Half an hour later, the results of the control experiment showed that Illusion Heart Grass had a crucial effect on brain cancer but only acted as an anesthetic or hallucinogen for other diseases.
For patients who were mentally unstable or whose brain nerves had been long oppressed, it was a treasure. For patients with normal brains, it was a poison.
“Boss, how did you see that? It’s incredible, how are you even smarter than us!”
“Conduct a new experiment. I need five hundred pushes.”
The two of them, Tian Ji and Tian Liang, had to work for several hours to prepare five hundred pushes, but neither said a word. They quickly started working, cooperating smoothly with Qingwu as they conducted the experiment.
When Qingwu finished the experiment and walked out of the laboratory, the sky outside was completely dark; it was obviously not early.
It was only then she remembered she had agreed to visit Shen Zhongshuang’s laboratory in the afternoon, but she hadn’t gone. He had probably called her countless times.
She took out her phone and saw twenty missed calls and over fifty message notifications.
“Sister, where are you?”
“Did you get busy? Boo hoo hoo, call second brother when you see the message!”
Qingwu quickly called back, talking to Shen Zhongshuang while walking toward his parked car on the roadside. She opened the car door and got in.
“Second brother, I got caught up in something this afternoon and forgot to tell you. I’m with Pei Jue now; I’ll be home soon.”
Shen Zhongshuang finally heard her voice and almost cried!
“Okay, as long as you’re alright. Your second brother was afraid aliens had abducted you! Boo hoo hoo! Make sure to tell your second brother ahead of time next time!”
“I know.”
Shen Zhongshuang had been so worried about Qingwu all afternoon that he couldn’t focus on surgery. Even though the surgery was successful, he was so concerned he almost stitched the patient’s wound with Qingwu’s name.
Had it not been for the fear of bothering his sister, he might have sent even more messages!
Pei Jue was dealing with contracts in the car and only put them aside when Qingwu got in.
“Are you tired? I’ll take you for dinner, then we’ll go home.”
Qingwu glanced at the mountain of contracts beside Pei Jue. “Why are you working in the car? Did your company go bust, or did the Pei Building collapse in an earthquake?”
“I’m very pleased my fiancée worries about my safety, but both my company and the Pei Building are fine. I just didn’t want you struggling to find a cab when you came out, so I’m here to pick you up.”
She found it troublesome to get a driving license. Although driving wasn’t an issue for her, since Beijing was different from the international line, Qingwu didn’t want to bring inconvenience to the Shen family. Each time she went out, it was either a family member who picked her up or she took a cab.
“How did you know I was at the laboratory?”
Pei Jue smiled, pulling her hand over to play with.
“Since you agreed with Tarzan, you’d surely research the role of Illusion Heart Grass, if not at Shen Zhongshuang’s lab, then here. The equipment I sent over is much better than Shen Zhongshuang’s.”
As soon as the lab equipment arrived, the people at Chang Yue thoroughly inspected and modified it, partly because the Beidou Star geniuses didn’t trust anyone except Qingwu. They only dared use it after being sure the equipment hadn’t been tampered with.
The other reason was their experimental frequency was too high; ordinary machines couldn’t withstand such a heavy workload.
The current lab equipment was now the best fit for Chang Yue Laboratory!
Driving into the city, the secretary inquired, “President, where shall we go for dinner?”
Pei Jue’s gaze fell on Qingwu beside him. She was wrapped in his suit jacket, her head tilted slightly as she slept. In the dim night, her sleeping face was exceptionally serene and adorable.
The frequent experiments were mentally taxing. She had to be exhausted to fall asleep beside him.
As an assassin, being able to sleep next to another assassin proved she fully trusted him!
Pei Jue’s heart softened as he adjusted Qingwu’s head to rest more comfortably on his shoulder.
“No need, head straight to the Shen Mansion.”
“Understood.”
Outside the Shen Mansion, Pei Jue carried the sleeping Qingwu in his arms and entered the Shen home.
Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun were still sweet-talking at her family’s home, leaving only Shen Shushan in the living room, watching a script.
He appeared to be reading the script, but his gaze would occasionally drift toward the door. The script in his hand hadn’t moved all evening, still open at a section with none of his scenes…
Seeing Pei Jue enter with Qingwu, Shen Shushan jumped up from the sofa and rushed over to Pei Jue.
“What’s wrong with Qingwu?”
“She’s asleep. Where is her room? I’ll take her up.”
Shen Shushan, guarded, extended his hands. “No need to trouble President Pei. Give her to me, I’ll take her up.”
“She’ll wake.”
Pei Jue, showing no intent to hand Qingwu over, looked at Shen Shushan with a faint smile, but his words were full of resolute authority.
Shen Shushan looked at Qingwu’s sleeping face and conceded, warily saying, “Alright then, I’ll show you. But don’t try anything funny!”
Pei Jue carried Qingwu and strode upstairs.
The Phoenix Building at Leisure Inn was decorated entirely in Qingwu’s preferred style. Inside, it was filled with gifts from the four sons of the Shen family and many plush toys bought by Shen Shaojia, overflowing with a girlish charm.
Pei Jue carefully placed Qingwu on the bed and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.
“Good night, my lovely fiancée.”
Leaning against the door, Shen Shushan rolled his eyes but said nothing.
Patience, Pei Jue and Qingwu had a marriage contract. Plus, his actions adhered entirely to decorum—no need to rush forward to punch him…
“You can leave now.”
“Prepare some food, Qingwu hasn’t had dinner. She’ll probably be hungry when she wakes.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Shushan’s gaze towards Pei Jue softened slightly, but his words remained full of sarcasm.
“How come Qingwu hasn’t had dinner with President Pei? When she truly marries him in the future, will she even have breakfast? What did you do all afternoon? Second brother said Qingwu couldn’t be reached!”
Gone all afternoon, tired, carried home by Pei Jue…
The more Shen Shushan thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. His mind filled with scenes unfit for a censor, wishing he could wake Qingwu right away to ask what really happened!
Aaaah, had their family’s precious little cabbage been ravaged by a pig!
This was clearly picking a fight.
Naturally, Pei Jue wouldn’t disclose anything about the Chang Yue Laboratory to Shen Shushan.
That was a secret between him and Qingwu, not to be shared with anyone.
“Qingwu is in a bad mood today. If the Shen family cannot handle the Lin family, tell me, and I’ll take action.”
Mentioning the Lin family, Shen Shushan’s face fell.
The Shen family indeed found it difficult to take action, partly due to the old master’s overly special status. Any significant move would draw a lot of attention.
Shen Shushan pointed to his study.
“President Pei, this way please.”
Shen Yurou returned to the Shen home, rummaging in the kitchen for a long time before finally satisfying her hunger with a burp.
Back when she was in the hospital, nobody from the Shen family brought her meals!
She was starving!
There was no one in the living room, several scripts scattered across the marble tabletop.
Treading softly, Shen Yurou picked up a script to read.
Debuting in acting!
Although she had always looked down on debut stars, considering them mere actors, even Shen Shushan was a movie emperor. If she debuted in acting, wouldn’t making money be a matter of moments?
