Chapter 135 - 135 She Really Wants a Home



Butler Ling estimated that Xu Chaomu must have upset Shen Chi again.

This time, it seemed a bit serious.

If there was a next time, would Xu Chaomu be directly kicked out of the Shen Family?

Butler Ling hurriedly dismissed the thought, no, that wouldn’t happen.

After all, Xu Chaomu had lived with the Shen Family for eight years; if not for kinship, then for affection.

“I won’t call him,” Xu Chaomu said, not even lifting her head.

Butler Ling really had no other choice, but she still tried to persuade her, “Why don’t I plead with the Fourth Young Master on your behalf? You’re used to living in the Shen Family, you’ll be uncomfortable at school.”

“Butler Ling, thank you, but don’t call him. I will take care of myself at school, and I will study hard,” Xu Chaomu replied.

Butler Ling could only shake her head.

Xu Chaomu was like this, it appeared she really was angry with the Fourth Young Master.

Butler Ling never knew how resolute Xu Chaomu could be until later, when she left, it was for five years.

Shen Chi sat in the car, initially holding a pen and reviewing documents with a calm mind, signing here and there. But after a call from Butler Ling, he felt agitated and annoyed; he threw all the documents onto the floor, even breaking the pen!

The driver, Old Cheng, was startled. Who was Shen Chi angry with, first thing in the morning?

He dared not say much, just quietly drove the car.

After a while, Shen Chi made a call to Secretary Xiao Mo.

“Is everything arranged for the trip to South Africa?”

Xiao MO replied respectfully, “Yes, everything’s arranged. There are a few documents waiting for your approval.”

“And the financing?”

“Mr. Bai Xuan called yesterday saying that if you ask, he will definitely support you.”

“Just talk? Is there any actual action?” Shen Chi scoffed.

“That… Mr. Bai is probably waiting for you to speak in person,” Xiao MO said.

“By the way, any news from the Feili Group?” Shen Chi’s slender fingers tapped on the seat, appearing leisurely, but his eyes had a layer of ruthlessness.

“Mr. Shen, no movement. After Shen’s released the news about acquiring Feili

Group, it seems their chairman, Lu Feili, went to the hospital.”

“That woman isn’t so fragile, keep a close watch,” Shen Chi commanded.

“Yes, Mr. Shen.”

Shen Chi then discussed many things with Xiao MO, mainly about the trip to South Africa. This time, his main purpose was to inspect a diamond mine. If he could develop it for the Shen Group, it would be extraordinary.

Of course, this diamond mine, rumored to produce top-quality diamonds, wasn’t only watched by the Shen Group.

Soon, the car reached the Shen Group headquarters.

Xiao Mo, holding documents, was already waiting downstairs. When Shen Chi’s Maybach arrived, he immediately went forward to open the door.

The weather was fine today, the sun lingering.

Sunlight poured from the sky, shining on Shen Chi’s immaculately tailored black business suit. He was very tall, his complexion as stern as ever, he elegantly stepped out of the car without a wrinkle in his suit.

“Mr. Shen, for the trip to South Africa, based on your previous instructions, we have arranged a one-month itinerary, ” Xiao MO reported.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi murmured.

Shen Chi walked towards the building, and Xiao MO quickly followed.

Without any instructions from Shen Chi, Old Cheng followed his usual routine and went back to pick up Xu Chaomu for school.

He turned the car around and drove back the way he came.

When he returned to the Shen Family, he saw Xu Chaomu’s petite figure dragging a suitcase outside.

Butler Ling followed anxiously, “Miss Xu, I’ve got it for you. Just wait a bit longer, Uncle Cheng will be back soon. No need to rush off.” While she was speaking, Old Cheng got out of the car.

“What’s going on?” Old Cheng wasn’t aware of the situation yet.

“Ah, Old Cheng, the Fourth Young Master said to send Miss Xu to board at school,” Butler Ling sighed.

“Boarding?” Old Cheng frowned. Was the call Shen Chi took in the car about Xu Chaomu?

“Yes, I’m not sure what to do.” Butler Ling sighed again. “Miss Xu will have a hard time adjusting at school, but the Fourth Young Master refuses to change his mind. Old Cheng, you’re always with the Fourth Young Master, could you please talk to him on the phone for me? I really can’t bear to send Miss Xu to boarding.”

“If it’s something Mr. Shen has decided, I’m afraid…” Old Cheng’s voice trailed off.

The rest of the sentence was understood by everyone—he was probably powerless to help.

“Going to school is good, at least she can fit in with classmates of the same age. It’s better than staying at home looking at old men, ” Xu Chaomu said with disdain.

When she was annoyed, she liked to refer to Shen Chi as the old man.

Butler Ling and Old Cheng were embarrassingly speechless; their faces were a picture of consternation.

In the eyes of outsiders, Shen Chi was young and handsome with an extraordinary bearing, but Xu Chaomu labeled him an old man. “Uncle Cheng, please give me another ride,” Xu Chaomu urged.

“Alright.” Uncle Cheng nodded.

Xu Chaomu climbed into the car with her luggage, while Old Cheng and Butler Ling followed behind.

Butler Ling still whispered softly, “Uncle Cheng, if you get the chance, you must plead with the Fourth Young Master. Miss Xu hasn’t experienced hardship. Sigh, I can’t believe the Fourth Young Master is really willing to do this.”

“I know, I know,” Old Cheng just nodded.

In reality, he clearly understood that no one could sway Shen Chi’s decisions.

Xu Chaomu put her luggage in the trunk and sat in the passenger seat without uttering a word.

It seemed the car still retained the faint, pleasant scent of Shen Chi, but she didn’t want to see him, not one bit!

“Chaomu, be good when you get to school. Butler Ling and I will come to see you when we have time,” Old Cheng started the car.

“Hmm.”

“I heard the mid-term exams are coming up. You need to work hard, you’ll be in your senior year next half of the year.”

“I know,” Xu Chaomu was curt.

Old Cheng chattered for a bit, caring for Xu Chaomu like a close uncle would.

Xu Chaomu internally appreciated the concern from Uncle Cheng and Butler Ling. They were the only ones who seemed to care about her.

Her thoughts drifted back to the day Bai Man’s parents visited the Shen Family. Standing on the balcony, she watched the Bai family with envy.

She too yearned for a home, warm and cozy. Unfortunately, she had none.

She didn’t even have relatives.

In this world, she was truly alone.

Just as the Maybach had been driving for ten minutes, suddenly, a red Maserati blocked its path.

Under the sunlight, the Maserati was extraordinarily eye-catching. Its red color was brazen, gleaming with a bright sheen.

The license plate C9999 matched Shen Chi’s C8888 like a pair.

Xu Chaomu didn’t need to look to know who it was—Li Beiting, of course.

That time she was kidnapped, Li Beiting had made some cutting remarks to her face. Since then, Xu Chaomu didn’t quite see Li Beiting in the same light.

Friends or not, why be so blunt?

His words, “She’s just an orphan picked up from the orphanage. You, Shen Family, have raised her for eight years, and even if she doesn’t leave, she should know when to come and go. To say she’s shameless for clinging to you”… She remembered them all so well to this day.

It was nothing like the first time she saw Li Beiting when she was ten years old.
