The anger on his face had yet to fade, and he wore a cold expression, utterly devoid of emotion. The strength in his hand was as domineering as ever, allowing no room for Chaomu to resist.
Xu Chaomu struggled briefly, ending up with a face full of water!
“Let go, let go! Help!” she shouted.
“I’d like to see who comes to save you!” Shen Chi’s voice was low, but he did not relax his grip.
Xu Chaomu choked on several mouthfuls of water, coughing incessantly. Completely lacking the strength to fight back, she was like a rag doll at the mercy of Shen Chi.
Her face was soaked, and her hair, due to her vigorous movements, had come loose.
Right now, she looked neither human nor ghost.
The water was cold in the dead of night, and she shivered, sneezing several times.
“Cough, cough…” A violent coughing fit began, and her chest heaved with the effort.
After tormenting her to near death. Shen Chi finallv eased his frustration and. grabbing her by the collar, flung her onto the ground.
“Achoo!”
After sneezing several times, Xu Chaomu wiped the water from her face and slowly stood up, glaring at Shen Chi. Her upper body was soaked, the whole of her shivering.
When the wind blew, she hugged her arms tightly, her teeth chattering from the cold.
“Bastard,” she muttered through clenched teeth, spitting out the word.
These days, he no longer showed her the pampering and pity of the past, even going so far as to hurl harsh words without any regard for her feelings.
Perhaps, one person’s affection cannot be divided between two.
After all, he had no obligation to dote on her. Taking her in and ensuring she was well-fed and clothed was already the utmost kindness.
“Xu Chaomu, how dignified you’ve become, who let you come to a place like this?” Shen Chi asked in a deep voice.
“I came to lean on a sugar daddy, is that a problem?”
Xu Chaomu remembered the phone call Li Beiting had with him, when he said,
“What can she do? Wants to lean on a few sugar daddies?”
In his eyes, she was worthless, and the only thing she could do was seduce men, lean on sugar daddies.
“Shameful!” he said unceremoniously.
Xu Chaomu was so angry she trembled all over, her shoulders shaking violently, unable to tell if it was from the cold or rage.
“How have I shamed you? Out there, you never acknowledge me as a part of the Shen family, so I never call you my elder brother either. Rest assured, nobody knows I know you. I know my place,” she replied, her voice shaking.
Her little fists clenched tightly as she bit her lip hard.
She knew that he refused to acknowledge her as part of the Shen family, and the truth was, she wasn’t really one of them.
Water dripped down her hair, and as the evening breeze kept blowing, she felt colder and colder.
Under the clear moonlight, she saw the ring on his finger flashing a chilling light. Suddenly, she remembered the newspaper from yesterday at the press conference where he was smiling and hugging Bai Man, saying, “Next month, I will be engaged to Miss Bai Man, and this also signifies that in the future, we will be as constantly in love as this ‘Eternal Heart’.” Constantly in love…
Then she wishes them a lifetime of happiness together.
But somehow, her words once again infuriated him.
“You know your place? If you did, you wouldn’t be flirting around, ultimately embarrassing the Shen family!”
Xu Chaomu looked up at him, staring intently. Her lips were nearly bleeding from biting them so hard, her heart felt as if it was being stabbed again and again.
“Shen Chi, get lost, I don’t want to see you!”
She finally exploded in anger, and for so long, she finally dared to curse him out.
She had her self-respect; loving him did not mean she could abandon all her dignity.
Once upon a time, she didn’t dare to say a single “no” to him, but now, she was pointing at him, demanding he leave!
Shen Chi was also taken aback before rage took over, his voice deep and furious, “What did you say? Say that again, I dare you!”
“Shen Chi, I want you to leave! Get out!” she pointed at him, having lost all reason.
She could say it ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, and it would still be the same!
Droplets of water trailed down her hair, and she had forgotten what cold felt like. Inside her chest, anger flared fiercely…
Shivering and feeling chilled to the bone, she could even hear her own ragged breathing.
What awaited her was perhaps a slap. After all, this man had always been the center of attention, the favored son of heaven, who tolerated no insolence from anyone.
But she didn’t care anymore.
Shen Chi seized her shoulders with considerable force, pinning her against a camphor tree!
“Xu Chaomu, you’ve really got some nerve. Believe it or not, just based on your words, I, Shen Chi, could make you beg for life and yearn for death!”
She believed it.
She knew crushing her was as easy for him as crushing an ant.
But even so, that didn’t mean he could trample over her dignity at will.
“Shen Chi, I know you hate me, and I hate you too. Go home, find the adoption papers and get them notarized, and I’ll have nothing to do with the Shen Family anymore.”
“Don’t you even think about it!”
His eyebrows were furrowed in a cold confrontation, his hands nearly buried in her shoulders as if he wanted to flay her skin!
Xu Chaomu bit her lip in pain and said no more.
She was a mess, trembling from the cold, soaked and chilled to the bone.
Yet, the atmosphere was colder. All that could be heard were their breaths in the silent night sky, slowly amplifying, amplifying…
“It’s late, I need to go back to school now, Shen Si Shao, you should go home too.”
Xu Chaomu finally compromised, knowing that stiffening up any more wouldn’t solve anything. Plus, this man has always responded better to a softer approach. If she stood up to him head-on, it wouldn’t end well.
“Xu Chaomu, in the future, I better not catch you messing around outside!” he warned her sternly.
“Oh,” she responded indifferently.
Just then, a gust of cold wind blew in, causing Xu Chaomu to sneeze repeatedly, shrinking from the cold.
She was still leaning against the tree, and a leaf fluttered down to land on her shoulder.
Shen Chi finally let go of her, his mood considerably softened, and subconsciously raised his hand to brush the leaf off her shoulder.
His movements were elegant and gentle, nothing like how furious he had been moments ago.
Xu Chaomu shifted to the side, not letting him touch her again.
She lowered her head and sidestepped past him, her stride confident. In truth, she had nothing to feel guilty about. She hadn’t done anything to bring shame to the Shen family or herself.
She came to Weiyang only wanting to make some money; she didn’t want to use his money anymore.
All of Shen Chi’s and Xu Chaomu’s exchanges were witnessed by someone, Ji Shengxuan.
Ji Shengxuan squinted his eyes and smoked quietly as he watched everything unfold.
Although he was a distance away, he could see clearly.
He was quite familiar with Shen Chi, who was also considered a VIP client of Weiyang. On the business battlefield, Shen Chi was shrewd and ruthless, with extraordinary means, slowly but surely expanding the Shen Group. Now with the support of the Bai Family, he could command wind and rain.
However, he was genuinely curious, as it was the first time he had heard anyone daring to tell Shen Chi to get lost.
The girl wasn’t old, her face still carried the softness of youth, and even the heaviest of makeup couldn’t mask her greenness..
