Chapter 947: Chapter 947 How Did That Fool Survive
Therefore, no matter whether it was Shen Shihan’s doing or not, Shen Chi wouldn’t let Shen Shihan off the hook.
Having followed Shen Chi for so long, Xiao Mo understood all this.
“Look into this matter,” Shen Chi dropped these words, his tone was muted and husky, “During this period, I’ll be accompanying Chaomu. Whatever you find, that’s it. If the outcome is too terrible, there’s no need to tell me.”
In the spacious living room, Shen Chi’s words floated to Xiao Mo’s ears.
There was an underlying message in Shen Chi’s words, which Xiao Mo instantly understood.
If the outcome is too terrible… What else could it mean? Shen Chi was hinting at something more.
What if the investigation ends up revealing that Zhou Ran was behind it…
From Shen Chi’s perspective, he would have no way to face such an outcome and, should it turn out to be true, he would be tormented by guilt for the rest of his life.
Moreover, the incident from thirteen years ago still hadn’t been fully resolved. If this matter were to drive another wedge between them, he and Chaomu… would truly be separated by a chasm.
Xiao Mo immediately grasped what Shen Chi was thinking.
He gave Shen Chi a promise, “President Shen, leave this matter to me. Right now, the most important thing is… for you to spend quality time with Miss Xu.”
“I plan to take her abroad to take her mind off things, to temporarily leave C City,” Shen Chi said.
“This season, you might consider going to Australia, as it so happens, Miss is there too,” Xiao Mo suggested.
Shen Chi nodded and said no more.
By this time, the sky was already bright. After a few more words, Shen Chi left the Waterside Pavilion.
To Xu Chaomu this place was a site of sorrow, and to Shen Chi himself, it likewise was a place of heartache.
The last time he was here, he had secretly rushed back from Los Angeles. If he hadn’t left that night, perhaps things would have been different…
Xiao Mo watched Shen Chi leave until his black car gradually became a small dot under the morning sun.
Shen Chi was clearly in a bad mood, Xiao Mo could see that.
It seemed that the matter with the Paris hotel would also have to wait until he had fully processed everything and filtered through the information before reporting back to Shen Chi.
With that thought, he got into his car and drove away from the Waterside Pavilion.
The butler tried repeatedly to convince him to stay for breakfast before going, but he knew himself that his head was so heavy, he had to go home.
After a night of heavy drinking, he thought that the thoughts of those things, those people, would fade a lot, but unexpectedly, after the alcohol had worn off, they were even more vivid and the pain in his chest was a few degrees sharper.
Even though it was winter, he rolled down the car window, letting the desolate cold wind mixed with dampness blow through the window, hitting his face.
Xiao Mo and Shen Chi, one headed east, the other west.
…
After Xu Chaomu was discharged from the hospital, the news inevitably leaked out.
But since Xu Chaomu had her phone turned off, those who cared about her called the Shen Family directly, or they called Shen Chi’s mobile phone.
Yu Weiwei was the most worried. As soon as she heard the news, she called Xu Chaomu at once.
But Xu Chaomu’s phone was off, so she had to call Shen Chi.
This time, it was Butler Ling who answered the phone.
“Miss Yu.”
“Butler… are those things I heard true? Chaomu’s child… is it really true?” Yu Weiwei was a bit agitated.
She couldn’t bring herself to believe such a reality after hearing these things!
Just the other day, they were still chatting and laughing. Yu Weiwei even joked, “Chaomu, look, our babies are only a few months apart. How about this, don’t throw away the clothes your baby outgrows; remember to give them to me. That way, I can save some expenses! By the time my baby is done with them, you could just have a second child. How harmonious would that be?”
Yu Weiwei dared not think any further, as the mere thought of it almost made her cry, tough as she was.
How did that fool Chaomu endure all this?
“Miss Yu, please don’t be agitated, it’s true,” Butler Ling nodded, “It’s been over half a month since it happened. Miss Yu, you’re good friends with Chaomu, you should come to visit the Shen family more often.”
“I know, of course, I know.” Yu Weiwei quickly agreed, “How is she now, emotionally? Can she eat and sleep well?”
Yu Weiwei was very anxious; she had called here as soon as she learned the news.
“All is well, the fourth young master takes great care of her. Chaomu’s recovery is also going well, and the fourth young master has even arranged for a doctor to come and check on Chaomu every few days,” Butler Ling said.
“He has a responsibility too!” Yu Weiwei blurted out in her straightforward manner, “Chaomu was over seven months pregnant, and he still went abroad?”
“This… can’t all be blamed on the fourth young master. Besides, he returned after three days. What happened afterwards was unexpected by anyone.”
“Butler, don’t make excuses for him. Setting this matter aside, he has made a mess of many other things! Chaomu returned to the country pregnant, he must have felt terrible, but how many times has he lost his temper with Chaomu? Probably even he can’t remember,” Yu Weiwei spoke candidly.
Several times, when Xu Chaomu had no one to talk to, she would come to her. And many times, she could tell that Shen Chi had upset her again.
“The fourth young master is very kind to Chaomu, but sometimes he uses the wrong approach, often too hasty,” Butler Ling said.
“Damn, this man is high in IQ, low in EQ; he needs to reflect properly.”
“You’re right, high IQ, low EQ,” Butler Ling didn’t defend Shen Chi this time, “And he’s also very stubborn.”
“Exactly, all true,” Yu Weiwei agreed, “Now that this has happened, it’s really…”
Yu Weiwei sighed, not knowing what else to say.
The child was gone; nothing could bring it back. All the words seemed futile.
“Butler, you must take good care of Chaomu. Apart from Shen Chi, she has no other family. The person I am most reassured about now is you. Please take extra care,” Yu Weiwei said.
“Miss Yu, don’t worry, I have always treated Chaomu as my own daughter,” Butler Ling spoke gently, “And now, the fourth young master has put aside all his business to be with Chaomu. You can rest assured.”
“Closing the stable door after the horse has bolted is already too late,” Yu Weiwei sighed again.
“Miss Yu, you also have to take care of yourself. You’re pregnant, and need to be cautious in every aspect,” Butler Ling said.
“Alright… thank you, Butler,” Yu Weiwei said, “Butler, I won’t visit Chaomu soon, for fear of stirring up her sadness.”
“Alright, I will pass on your sentiments to Chaomu.”

“Then Butler, I’ll hang up now. Please, you must take good care of Chaomu, you really must,” Yu Weiwei reiterated her request, “And especially be wary of Shen Chi’s mother. I’ve noticed that Chaomu doesn’t seem to like her much; she always avoids the topic when she mentions her to me.”
“Alright, I understand,” Butler Ling replied.
Let alone her, in such a sensitive time, even Shen Chi wouldn’t let Zhou Ran come to the Shen family.
