If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1000 - Chapter 1000 Chapter 1000 Call Her Mommy

Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000 Call Her Mommy Chapter 1000: Chapter 1000 Call Her Mommy The female colleague expressed strong agreement with Xu Chaomu’s statement and promptly declared, “Right, men can’t be judged by looks alone, the handsomer they are, the more fickle… But, well… this man… is really quite handsome…”

Still, the female colleague felt a twinge of regret and couldn’t help but glance into the trash can.

However, since she had already crumpled the photo into a ball and tossed it into the trash can, she wasn’t going to fish it out.

“Good looks can’t fill your stomach,” Xu Chaomu countered.

“Have you ever been in a relationship? Do you have a boyfriend?” the curious female colleague asked.

“I… have, but we broke up,” Xu Chaomu said, but soon changed the subject, “By the way, how did you get on with that design from yesterday? The boss wants us to finish it today.”

“Oh, right, right, I almost forgot, it’s time to work,” the female colleague said, taking a sip of water and starting up her computer to work.

Xu Chaomu also began working. She had to revise the design, again and again.

The demands of this collaborator were really numerous, picking on every little detail and fault. They’d had her revise the same design over fifteen times, and still they nitpicked and were dissatisfied.

When she worked at Shen Group, she had never seen Shen Chi being so picky, but work had to be done diligently nonetheless.

As she revised the design, her mind wandered onto many things.

In her head, she still saw the image of Shen Chi from the newspaper, months since she last saw him, and he looked the same as ever.

Actually, what she had been thinking about most these days was adopting a child.

Despite several months having passed, she was still hung up on her own child.

Sometimes at night, she dreamt about it, imagining a cute little one running behind her, calling her “mommy.”

At the thought, a sweet smile would spread across her lips.

After finishing a design, she couldn’t help but send a message to Xiao Mo, inquiring about how the adoption was going.

Upon seeing the message, Xiao Mo smiled and quickly replied: “I’ve had my subordinate inquire at the orphanage. Do you have any other requirements?”

“No particular requirements,” Xu Chaomu responded.

“Okay.”

Lately, Xiao Mo’s subordinate had brought him quite a few profiles and pictures of children, and he had checked each one. He planned to visit in person when he had a moment.

But recently, there had been too much going on with the group, and next month, he had to make a trip to South America.

Today, although it was Saturday, he was working overtime, probably in the same boat as Xu Chaomu.

Since Xu Chaomu left, Shen Chi had been working at the group almost every weekend, dismissing even Ji Shengxuan’s invitations to have a few drinks at the club.

Today was no different; Xiao Mo was doing overtime in the office downstairs, and Shen Chi was working late in the president’s office.

Xu Chaomu, finding work monotonous, occasionally sent a message to Xiao Mo: “Xiao Mo, what age do you think is easiest to raise for a child?”

Xiao Mo, having no idea, could only reply with a “dazed” emoticon, adding, “I’ve never raised a child.”

“Oh, I forgot, you don’t even have a girlfriend,” Xu Chaomu replied.

Xiao Mo laughed, sending her a “silly smile” emoticon in response.

On the other end, Xu Chaomu calculated the days and asked Xiao Mo, “Is Weiwei about to give birth?”

“Two more months. President Li has been circling around Yu Weiwei these days.”

“I really want to go see her.”

“If you’re not afraid of being caught by President Shen, then come.”

“He still doesn’t have a girlfriend?” Xu Chaomu added another message, with a “disappointed” emoticon.

“Then you may need to wait a year and a half more to see,” Xiao Mo knew who the “he” she was asking about.

Xu Chaomu didn’t respond, and Xiao Mo buried his head back in his work.

Soon after, Xiao Mo’s phone rang; it was one of his subordinates.

“Hello.”

“Secretary Xiao, we’ve found new information.”

“What?” Xiao Mo set down his work, his brows furrowing.

“Your suspicions were correct. I checked Miss Bai’s whereabouts and when looking through the hospital surveillance, I discovered that on the day of the exhibition, Miss Bai visited the hospital accompanied by Gu Xiuting. In the midst of it, Miss Bai entered a rest room. The surveillance shows that the deceased doctor was with Miss Bai.”

Xiao Mo held his breath. Indeed, he had guessed right.

This woman, even after five years, still hasn’t given up.

And more so, after five years, this woman’s methods have become even more ruthless and her actions more cautious and meticulous.

Ha, what charity work? Could a woman with the heart of a serpent ever do charity?

Xu Chaomu’s premature birth, it indeed must have something to do with her.

Still scheming on domestic affairs all the way from Washington, what exactly does this woman want to do?

“What else?” Xiao Mo asked.

“We’re following this lead. Per your instructions, we’ve recently been keeping a close watch on Miss Bai.”

“Have you figured out her relationship with Gu Xiuting?” Xiao Mo inquired.

“We’ve checked, there’s important intelligence.”

“Speak.”

“Gu Xiuting doesn’t like women,” came the reply from the other end. “Gu Xiuting is gay.”

“Heh.” Xiao Mo immediately understood.

This Bai Man was truly not simple.

Gu Xiuting doesn’t like women, yet he’s engaged to Bai Man; clearly, the two of them have their respective needs.

“If I’m not mistaken, the Bai Family must have invested a substantial sum of money into the Gu Family’s business, right?” Xiao Mo said.

“You’re right, the Gu Family’s recent major project is indeed sponsored by the Bai Family.”

As expected, they each had their needs: Gu Xiuting wanted money, Bai Man wanted a smokescreen.

Over these five years, Bai Man still hasn’t given up. She carefully orchestrated this whole scene. Once the timing is ripe, is she planning to continue seducing Shen Chi?

In her heart, she’s still fixated on Shen Chi!

With this in mind, all the speculations become quite logical. She engineered Xu Chaomu’s premature birth; she well knows that without Chaomu’s child, Chaomu would definitely not be together with Shen Chi.

Thus, she could seize the opportunity to step in.

No wonder she wants to stay domestically during this time; probably she’s using the pretext of charity work to take the chance to return to Shen Chi’s side.

“Secretary Xiao, these are just some truths I’ve uncovered and some of my speculations, but a lot of evidence is still missing.”

“I understand, you’ve worked hard.”

“It’s not hard, just my duty,” the person said. “Secretary Xiao, what else should we investigate next?”

“No need for anything else. You continue to look at the welfare institute to see if there are any suitable, healthy children, slightly younger and smarter, that do not have memories,” Xiao Mo instructed.

“Alright, I’ll pay attention to that.”

“Hmm.” Xiao Mo hung up the phone.

He closed his eyes in thought; he was almost certain that all his speculations were correct–Xu Chaomu’s premature birth could not be disassociated from Bai Man.

All of this was done too meticulously and cautiously, hardly leaving any trace. Moreover, Bai Man had involved Gu Xiuting to divert attention.

But even the most comprehensive plan has slight oversights; if you wish to keep something secret, you mustn’t do it at all.
