Udted by BXNVEL.CMTranslator: 549690339
While Shen Chi and Li Beiting were idly chatting in the billiards room, there were also a few people talking in the western wing of the Shen Family villa. Mom, be gentle, it hurts, Shen Yanrou half-reclined on the sofa.
Her fair little face was painfully pallid, even her lips quivering slightly. She had no choice but to clutch the cushion on the sofa, holding it tightly, daring not to relax.
The neckline of her dress was slightly open as Liu Rumei applied medicine to her.
The spot that Xu Chaomu had burned her today might no longer be red, but it was seriously hurt.
Bear with it, it will heal soon, Liu Rumei said gently as she spread the ointment on her.
Her touch was already very light, and she also felt very distressed. Today, not only had Shen Yanrou been scorched with hot water by Xu Chaomu, but she had also received two slaps in the face.
Just thinking about it made Liu Rumei grind her teeth.
Sitting in a chair opposite the sofa was another person, Shen Shihan.
Shen Shihan sat with his arms crossed, his face cool and silent, as if deep in thought.
Under the light, Shen Shihan, with his thick eyebrows and high nose bridge, looked calm and profound. No matter how much Liu Rumei and Shen Yanrou talked, he did not utter a word, just sitting there with his legs crossed, quietly.
Mom, you know my temper, I simply cant stand it anymore! Shen Yanrou was hot-headed and had never felt as humiliated as she did today.
Liu Rumei knew what Shen Yanrou meant and sighed, Even if you cant stand it, you have to tolerate it. No matter how much Shen Chi favors that girl, he wouldnt dare to do anything to us. Always remember, your surname is Shen, and that girls surname is Xu!
Im a group director, and to be toyed with by a little girl, if this gets out, how can I hold my head up in the group!
Liu Rumei felt a bit sorrowful, Zhou Ran has clever tactics, even after divorce she forced your father to hand over the group to Shen Chi. Otherwise, Shen Chi would only have been driven out of the Shen Family!
You all underestimate Shen Chi too much, Shen Shihan finally spoke up.
Liu Rumei glanced at him and said indifferently, Shihan, whose side are you on when you speak?
Im simply stating the truth, Shen Shihan replied, I advise you to use your brains more in the future and stop provoking Xu Chaomu!
You little brother! What do you mean by we provoke Xu Chaomu? Clearly, its that wild girl who is unreasonable, Shen Yanrou was displeased.
The Zheng Lin incident last time, the Bai Man incident this time, havent you both seen that Shen Chi cares a lot about that girl? Shen Shihan coldly responded.
Shen Yanrou and Liu Rumei looked at each other, indeedthey had both noticed.
But what could that prove?
Shen Shihan was cold-faced, his tone faint, Do you know who took Bai Mans necklace?
Liu Rumei said, How could we know, it was found in Xu Chaomus room, it mustve been Xu Chaomu who stole it. Whether she actually liked the necklace or was just jealous of Bai Man, who knows.
I was the one who placed the necklace in Xu Chaomus room, Shen Shihan said quietly.
That was a bombshell, both Liu Rumei and Shen Yanrou were stunned, their eyes widened!
What?
The necklace was actually placed in Xu Chaomus room by Shen Shihan?!
Shen Shihan had deceived everyone! Even they had been kept in the dark!
Shen Shihan remained as composed as ever, I just wanted to see if everyone called Xu Chaomu a thief, whether Shen Chi would still protect her.
And then? Liu Rumei asked.
Her and Shen Yanrou had the same expression, that of shock.
The fact proves that he never doubted Xu Chaomu at all.
What does that prove? Shen Yanrou said with disdain.
I just want to ask you one thing, Shen Shihans gaze was piercing, Shen Chi and Bai Man are about to get married. Do you want to see them married, or not?
Of course, we dont. The Bai Family is wealthy and powerful, on par with the Shen Family. If Shen Chi and Bai Man get married, well never have a chance to turn things around. Dad will definitely sign the power of attorney and hand over the corporation to Shen Chi for real, Shen Yanrou was not foolish; she analyzed.
Then isnt that good? Shen Shihan said indifferently.
Shen Yanrous mind spun, right, since Shen Chi cared so much about Xu Chaomu, why not take advantage of Xu Chaomu to disrupt the marital alliance between the Shen and Bai families and make Bai Man lose hope in Shen Chi?
In that case, Shen Chi, without any backing, fighting alone, would surely fall apart.
Dealing with Shen Chi alone was much easier than facing the combined force of the Shen and Bai families.
Although Liu Rumei didnt deal with the corporations affairs, after hearing what Shen Shihan and Shen Yanrou said, she also thought it made a lot of sense.
Shen Shihan then slowly spoke again, In the future, when you take action, think before you act, always leave room for maneuver. Its good for others, and good for yourself.
Although Shen Yanrou was reluctant, she had to admit that Shen Shihan made a lot of sense.
Got it, third brother, well consult with you on any issues in the future, Shen Yanrou said lightly.
Hmm, thats the end of the necklace matter; Ill go back to rest now. Its late, you should sleep early too.
Shen Shihan stood up and strolled out of Shen Yanrous room.
The room fell silent once again, Shen Yanrou said in a hushed voice to Liu
Rumei, Mom, the third brother has thought everything through.
I used to think he was not competitive, but it turns out he was planning ahead, Liu Rumei said softly.
If the incident with Zheng Lin last time was not enough to show anything, then this incident with the necklace has made it crystal clear to us that Shen Chi really cares about Xu Chaomu, Shen Yanrou said.
How did we not notice this before?
Its also our fault for being confused by our own involvement. What is Xu Chaomu, anyway? If she really marries Shen Chi, that might even be a good thing. Its the alliance between Shen Chi and Bai Man that is truly terrifying, Shen Yanrou was still composed.
She finally snapped back to reality from todays events, thinking about it, she was really impulsive during the day.
She lost her face and dignity, and even gave the servants a good laugh for nothing.
Yanrou, we both need to change our tempers, its your third brother who acts calmly, Liu Rumei said.
Yes, we really need to make some changes.
Liu Rumei was applying medicine to Shen Yanrou while whispering quietly to her.
They talked for a long time, and the light in Shen Yanrous room remained on.
The light in Shen Chis room was also on.
Shen Chi couldnt sleep no matter what; the puppet on the desk kept looking at him. Whether he opened or closed his eyes, he saw Xu Chaomus stubborn little face; he felt as if he were under a spell.
His mind was in turmoil, and he decided not to sleep any longer.
Standing by the window, he drank for a while, then was buffeted by the cold wind for a long time, but the irritability hadnt dissipated.
He called a few buddies, went down to the garage to get his Lamborghini, and drove out of the Shen family villa.
The night was deep, and it was pitch-black everywhere. The villa area was very quiet, and it was even more silent in the wee hours. Occasionally, a car would pass by, invisible to anyone.
Shen Chi floored the accelerator, lowered the windows on both sides, and the night wind mixed with the dust of the air rushed at him.
The wind blew across Shen Chis face, and he sobered up quite a bit.
On the wide road, only Shen Chis Lamborghini was roaring and speeding, with the trees on both sides receding at an astonishing speed.
The faster he went, the more Shen Chis entire being slowly calmed down in the speed..
