If You Could Hear My Heart

“You mean Shen Chi is actually fond of that girl?” Shen Yanrou found it unbelievable.

She had never been emotionally moved, thus lacking awareness of matters of love, but she couldn’t possibly believe that Shen Chi liked Xu Chaomu.

“As for that question, I’m afraid only Shen Chi himself has the answer,” Shen Shihan said indifferently.

“Impossible, Shen Chi has always treated her like a little sister and doted on her. There’s no reason for a brother not to be kind to his sister. He is almost about to marry Bai Man.”

Shen Shihan remained silent, deep in thought.

“Right, Shihan, your trip to A City for the contract signing went smoothly. If you present the signed contract to Dad, wouldn’t he start looking at you differently?”

Shen Yanrou also worked at Shen Group and was well aware of what the signing meant for both Shen Shihan and Shen Chi.

It wasn’t just about the five percent of the shares in Shen Cexian’s hands but also a token of trust and esteem.

“Second sister, do you think Shen Chi is that foolish?” Shen Shihan’s voice was icy as he let out a cold laugh.

“What do you mean?” Shen Yanrou didn’t understand.

“Would he willingly give up the opportunity to sign the contract in A City and hand over the project to me?”

“He… he didn’t manage to go, right? I heard that Xu Chaomu had an accident that night,” Shen Yanrou said, filled with confusion.

“His failure to go doesn’t mean he couldn’t sign the contract.” Shen Shihan’s eyes were filled with a stern light, “Just because I’ve signed doesn’t mean that the contract is real.”

“What?” Shen Yanrou exclaimed loudly, “He actually had someone sign a fake contract for you?”

Compared to Shen Yanrou’s agitation, Shen Shihan was much calmer.

“Surprised? Second sister, we’ve both seen Shen Chi’s old sly and deep calculations,” Shen Shihan said expressionlessly.

Shen Yanrou thought about it and realized that was true. Working in Shen’s, she knew that if Shen Chi wanted something done, it would be done.

Shen Yanrou fell silent for a long while before leaning closer to Shen Shihan:

“Shihan, are you going to let Shen Chi have this great opportunity?” “I’ll leave him an empty shell of Wantong,” Shen Shihan said coolly.

“Hm?” Shen Yanrou didn’t understand.

“Bribe all the inner executives of Wantong and pull out the core technology and assets. ”

“Shihan, you really do have a way, you’ve actually made me look at you with new respect,” Shen Yanrou praised.

“It’s just a little trick,” he remarked.

“Right, Shihan, since Shen Chi is about to marry Bai Man, shouldn’t you also consider getting married?”

“Get married?” Shen Shihan’s voice was cold, “But one needs a partner for that, right?”

“If you’re willing, there are plenty of high-class ladies in C City who would break their necks to marry into the Shen Family. I can set you up,” she offered.

“In terms of family background, how many of them can compare to the Bai Family?” Shen Shihan said with a cold laugh.

Shen Yanrou was rather helpless: “There’s nothing I can do. The Bai Family has only one daughter, Bai Man, and she’s about to marry Shen Chi.”

Shen Shihan didn’t speak further. If Shen Chi married Bai Man, his position as the president of the Group would be secure, beyond challenge from anyone.

As long as his father, Shen Cexian, signed the succession document and stamped it, Shen Group would forever belong to Shen Chi.

Shen Group was the most powerful financial conglomerate in C City, without a doubt!

“By the way, second sister, have they found out who was behind Xu Chaomu’s accident?” Shen Shihan steered the conversation away from marriage.

He wasn’t interested in marriage, at least not now.

“I’m not sure, the issue was suppressed. Even the investigation was very secretive. I only heard that Li Beiting has been helping Shen Chi investigate, ” Shen Yanrou said.

“Someone dared to mess with Xu Chaomu,” Shen Shihan’s eyes gleamed with a deep cold light.

In other people’s eyes, what Shen Chi cherished was Bai Man, but in his eyes, Shen Chi cherished Xu Chaomu.

After a while, they saw Xu Chaomu coming down from upstairs again.

“Butler Ling, I really don’t want to go to the hospital. I remember now, I haven’t finished my homework!” Xu Chaomu clung to Butler Ling’s arm.

“Miss Xu, Fourth Young Master is waiting for you in the car!”

“Wasn’t he supposed to be accompanying Miss Bai?”

“Miss Bai received a last-minute call from the film crew. She’ll have to go to the set shortly.”

“How coincidental…” Xu Chaomu murmured.

Without an excuse, Xu Chaomu could only trudge dejectedly towards the villa’s exterior.

As expected, Shen Chi was already waiting for her outside, sitting in the driver’s seat, driving himself.

The car window was half-down, and the sun shone on his face. He wore a casual, dark-colored shirt today, squinting his eyes slightly.

Xu Chaomu had always been weak-willed, easily seduced by beauty.

Thus, her feet climbed into Shen Chi’s car unconsciously.

“Fourth Brother… can we not go to the hospital? My tooth is already better,” Xu Chaomu looked pitifully at a certain someone.

Without turning his head, that certain someone stepped on the gas, his voice stern: “No!”

“Actually, I can go by myself; look, I’m already so grown up. Going to a hospital should be no problem. You shouldn’t always treat me like a child. I can completely take a taxi to the hospital myself; even walking is fine. The weather is so nice today. Walking along the way, I could enjoy the scenery and, if…”

“Shut up!” Shen Chi frowned, finding her really noisy.

“…” Xu Chaomu gave him a white glance and he scolded her again. And so, Xu Chaomu remained silent the whole way, not uttering a word.

The car was very quiet, not a sound to be heard.

Halfway through the drive, Shen Chi stopped at a red light, turning to glance at her.

“Why aren’t you talking anymore?”

Xu Chaomu seemed indifferent: “Wasn’t it you who told me to shut up?” “Since when have you become so obedient?” Shen Chi squinted at her.

“In your eyes, you can’t see my strengths, and you magnify my flaws. In the end, you have just two words for me, ‘dislike’!”

“I do dislike you quite a lot,” Shen Chi said coolly, “dislike you to the extent that I have to personally take you to the hospital.”

A warm current slid over Xu Chaomu’s heart, but she still pouted casually, “It’s just that you’re bored.”

“Yes,” Shen Chi turned his head, looking ahead with a profound glint in his eyes, “why am I so idle.”

“If Miss Bai has to go to the set, a phone call from you could easily convince the crew to let her off. Then you wouldn’t be so bored, and you could have fun with a beautiful woman in your arms. How pleasant that would be.”

“It was me who had the crew call her,” Shen Chi’s voice was deep.

Just then, the red light turned green, and Shen Chi’s eyes remained fixed ahead as he depressed the accelerator, continuing forward.

What? What?

Xu Chaomu couldn’t react for a moment.

Shen Chi called Bai Man to the set? On purpose?

Why would he do that?

Xu Chaomu couldn’t figure it out, sighing to herself that city people really know how to play games.

Before long, Shen Chi drove the car to the hospital. With today being Saturday, it wasn’t very crowded, but Shen Chi had already made an appointment with the doctor.

Just as he was about to walk upstairs with Xu Chaomu, they heard commotion at the hospital entrance, someone was causing trouble..
