Ms. Bigshot Is Pampered by All novel Chapter 444

Chapter 444: Chapter 443: Regretting to the Core

Second Aunt Fu still couldn’t believe it, "But wasn’t she always entrusted with important tasks by Academician Peng, which is why she often worked overtime?"

Hearing this, Fu Si directly snorted with laughter, "She worked overtime because she couldn’t keep up with others and had to make up for it with extra hours."

Everyone: ...

At this moment, with Academician Peng himself coming to see Chi Gui, no one doubted Fu Si’s words.

Right then, every family head present at the Fu Family’s banquet felt a wave of relief in their hearts.

Thank goodness they had not listened to the advice from their families to visit the Jin Family as well!

Otherwise, it would have been a huge loss!

Xia Jinjin followed behind Second Aunt Fu, pursing her lips, feeling exceptionally uncomfortable inside.

-

Jin Family.

After Old Sir Jin had instructed the butler to make all the preparations, he eagerly awaited Peng Xiao’s arrival.

But having waited for over half an hour without a sign of him, he couldn’t help but call the person sent to pick up Peng Xiao.

Confused, the person on the other end of the line said, "We’ve been waiting at the airport exit all this time and haven’t seen Academician Peng! Could his flight have been delayed?"

Before the voice on the phone had finished speaking, Old Sir Jin heard a guest behind him exclaim, "What?! Academician Peng has gone to Old Sir Fu’s house? Just to see Professor Chi? Are you sure you’re not mistaken?!"

Old Jin quickly turned and walked over to that person.

Just as the person ended the call, looking bewildered, he faced Old Sir Jin, "Old Sir, what’s going on? Didn’t you say that Academician Peng greatly valued Academician Shi, and he specifically came to see her? How come he went to meet Professor Chi and then left directly!"

Hearing his string of questions, everyone in the banquet hall gathered around.

They had almost simultaneously received calls from their families, all eager for Old Sir Jin to provide an explanation.

Old Sir Jin’s face changed color, and suddenly turning his head towards Shi Liyun, he seemed to think of something.

Shi Liyun sat silently on the sofa, her head bowed very low, holding a wine glass, as if oblivious to what was happening.

Xue Mingqing was sitting beside her, seemingly having guessed something already, and he gave Old Sir Jin a slight shake of the head.
