If You Could Hear My Heart - Chapter 458
Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills
This woman’s acting skills have reached an extraordinary level, the moment you’re not paying attention, she’ll give you a performance of Lady Meng Jiang weeping over the Great Wall, “you are the wind and I am the sand.”
This kind of woman requires constant vigilance.
Xu Chaomu took step after step back, retreating to where Jian Sisi was chasing after Shen Chi as he ran out.
Chasing and chasing, suddenly, Jian Sisi bumped into a man.
Of course, she couldn’t knock the man over, and with an “ouch,” her high heel twisted, and her entire body fell to the ground!
This time, it wasn’t an act!
With a snort, Xu Chaomu actually laughed out loud.
The moment Jian Sisi fell to the ground, she truly looked as though she had fallen face-first into dog shit.
Her handbag flew out of her hand, spilling its contents all over the floor.
Her entire body collapsed to the ground, and a patch of skin was scraped off her delicate hand!
The man hurried over to help her, “Miss, I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry.”
At that moment, Shen Chi heard the noise and glanced back.
Jian Sisi saw Shen Chi, bit her lip painfully, and struggled to stand up.
“It’s alright, I don’t blame you, it was my own carelessness,” Jian Sisi said in a particularly gentle, generous, and understanding tone at that moment.
“Miss, I’m sorry, I’m really sorry,” the man kept apologizing.
“It’s nothing, go on, I can manage on my own,” Jian Sisi said, refusing the man’s help, her eyes fixed on Shen Chi.
At this moment, Jian Sisi looked pitiful, her big eyes full of grievance.
You could tell, she wanted Shen Chi to help her.
Very much so.
Shen Chi was quite a gentleman, like, for example, Lou Yanli once said, he was a true gentleman.
But right now, Shen Chi pretended not to see, turned his head, and called over a waiter.
“There is a young lady who’s fallen over there, take her to see a doctor,” he said.
After speaking, Shen Chi didn’t look back and strode towards the elevator entrance.
Just then, the elevator arrived at that floor, and Shen Chi stepped in.
His figure was dashing and resolute.
Xu Chaomu’s eyes sparkled with infatuation, she thought, there were countless reasons why she liked this man, not just because of his looks.
She was not that shallow.
As soon as Shen Chi left, Jian Sisi angrily pounded the floor.
The waiter approached to help her up, but she forcefully shook off his hand, her previously polite and gentle demeanor gone.
“Get lost! Who needs your help?”
The man who bumped into her was still apologizing, “Miss, I’m sorry, did you hurt yourself anywhere?”
“I’m hurt all over? Are you supposed to take me to the hospital for a check-up? Are you going to pay compensation?” Jian Sisi glared at the man, her tone unfriendly.
She pushed herself up from the ground and helplessly watched as Shen Chi just walked away.
Getting up, she shook off the waiter’s hand and then the man’s hand!
“Miss… I’m sorry, I need to catch a plane, let me leave you my number, you…”
“Get lost, who wants your number? Stay away from me!” Jian Sisi said angrily.
She was utterly frustrated, pushing away the man in front of her, bending down to gather her handbag, shoving things back into it haphazardly, and storming off in a huff.
The fall was hard, and Jian Sisi limped as she walked, losing all composure.
In her anger, she grabbed a bottle of BB cream from her bag and threw it at a mirror in the hotel!
With a “clang,” the mirror didn’t break, but it did dent inward a bit.
Immediately, a waiter came over and stopped Jian Sisi.
“Miss, I’m sorry, but you’ve damaged hotel property, please pay for it,” he said.
Watching this from her computer, Xu Chaomu was quite amused. If only Shen Chi had suddenly turned back, what a beautiful scene that would have been.
Jian Sisi, that woman, really knew how to act.
She should really change her name to Jian Act-Act.
Life is indeed a play, all depends on the acting.
“Compensation? How much?” Jian Sisi didn’t seem bothered, just crossed her arms and looked at the waiter in front of her.
“This… when converted to RMB, at least five hundred,” the waiter said.
“Five hundred? So can I smash it one more time?”
Jian Sisi looked down on the waiter, pulling out five red bills from her wallet.
“Miss, please don’t make it difficult for us.”
“What if I make it difficult for you? What then?”
After speaking, Jian Sisi took out another bottle of makeup remover from her bag, ready to throw it at the mirror.
“Miss, Miss, please calm down,” the waiter said as he quickly grabbed the makeup remover from her hand, still very polite.
Jian Sisi couldn’t be bothered to argue any further, scoffing with a cold laugh, “Just my bad luck.”
After saying that, she threw the five hundred RMB at the waiter and limped towards the elevator entrance in her high heels.
Her attitude wasn’t great; she dropped the entire five hundred on the floor.
The red bills were especially eye-catching.
The waiter shook his head, his face full of helplessness.
Xu Chaomu couldn’t stand it anymore; the handsome waiter looked so aggrieved.
Xu Chaomu then pulled up the restaurant’s video feed, searching until she saw Shen Chi drinking coffee.
His face was still a bit pale, probably still recovering from the previous day’s drunkenness.
At the moment, he was stirring his coffee while on the phone.
It was all business talk, and Xu Chaomu didn’t understand.
But she didn’t fast-forward; instead, she stared at Shen Chi’s handsome face.
Cold and proud, noble yet ruthless.
Huh, Xu Chaomu suddenly noticed a scratch mark below the collar of Shen Chi’s shirt.
Shen Chi covered it up with his shirt, and it wasn’t easily noticeable unless you looked closely.
She laughed, scratch mark… that was probably from her last night.
Just as Shen Chi hung up the phone, Jian Sisi approached him.
“President Shen,” she called softly, standing in front of him.
Shen Chi glanced up briefly at her and then turned his attention back to stirring his coffee.
“I had an accidental fall just now, I’m sorry if it caused you any embarrassment,” she said with a flushed face, once again adopting a gentle, girl-like shyness.
“Did you take the medicine?” Shen Chi spoke indifferently.
Jian Sisi was taken aback, then felt as if there was a fire burning in her belly.
Xu Chaomu noticed her eyes turn red, her cheeks alternating between white, green, and red with anger.
She probably didn’t expect Shen Chi to be completely without a word of concern.
Jian Sisi was indeed a secretary with years of experience; it only took her a few seconds to regain her composure, her voice choked.
“Yes, I took it,” she lowered her head.
“Hmm, take this check; I don’t want any complications from last night’s incident,” Shen Chi said as he took a check from his pocket and pushed it to the edge of the table, his expression still impassive.
Tsk tsk, Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but sigh, this man was just as cold-hearted and ruthless as the outside world had made him out to be.
Just the night before they had slept together, and by morning, he acted as though he didn’t know her.
No, no, no, he hadn’t slept with Jian Sisi last night!
“President Shen… what kind of person do you think I am? You were drunk last night, and so was I. Do you think I’m the kind of woman who would just casually sleep with a man?”
Jian Sisi became highly emotional, covered her face, and cried out loud.
Xu Chaomu watched, stunned by the performance. Brilliant acting.
Also, that check on the table, Xu Chaomu zoomed in to see, was for five million.
