Chapter 1043 - Chapter 1043 Chapter 1043 Faking a Suicide Attempt

Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Faking a Suicide Attempt Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Faking a Suicide Attempt She was very satisfied with herself and, having drunk a bit too much, her complexion showed a flush of red.

She had not dressed and went directly to the table to take a bottle of red wine and two tall glasses. She then poured out the red wine into each glass.

The red wine trickled slowly down the side of the glass, like the lustrous shine of rubies.

Bai Man was quite pleased and took a small pill out of her purse, tossing it into Shen Chi’s glass.

The white pill dissolved immediately upon contact with water and quickly disappeared in the glass.

Bai Man gently shook the glass and then smiled with a curve of her lips.

This little pill was requested from someone returning from India; it was said to have an outstanding effect as an aphrodisiac. Tonight was their first time in bed together, and she wanted to leave a beautiful memory.

She placed the two glasses on the bedside table and casually adjusted the lighting to a dim glow, highly suggestive.

She felt something was still missing, so she had the hotel staff bring a scented candle. The flame of the candle flickered, and its fragrance spread throughout the room, setting the mood.

After taking a sip of wine, lying in the silk sheets, Bai Man was entirely intoxicated.

“Shen Chi, Shen Chi…” she called out his name softly, her face blossoming into a smile, her cheeks spreading with a rosy blush.

However, by the time she had finished her glass, she almost dozed off to sleep, but she could still hear the sound of the water running in the bathroom.

This man, he was so fond of cleanliness.

Bai Man called out, “Shen Chi, Shen Chi, are you done washing?”

“Almost,” Shen Chi replied.

Bai Man smiled subtly, saying nothing more.

In the bathroom, Shen Chi sat on a rattan chair beside, the water still running with a “whoosh” sound.

He had finished showering a while ago, but at this time, he was holding his phone and looking at it. His brows were tightly furrowed, damn it, Xiao Mo, what the hell, why hasn’t he arrived yet.

After sending a few urgent texts to Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo finally replied, “I’ve arrived at the hotel, but there was a car accident on the way, so I’m late.”

“Don’t make excuses!” Shen Chi replied with three words!

Xiao Mo, on the other end, had a face full of black lines, okay then, no excuses.

Just as Bai Man was leisurely sipping the red wine, resting her head on her hand, there was a knock on the door of the room.

She frowned, thinking she had heard wrong.

But soon after, there was another “thud thud thud” sound.

“Who is it?” She raised her guard, sitting up in bed, holding her breath.

It couldn’t be the service staff, so who could it be this late?

“It’s me,” Xiao Mo said in a deep voice.

Bai Man could recognize Xiao Mo’s voice; she immediately felt a bit annoyed and raised her voice, “If it’s anything, say it tomorrow, Shen and I are asleep.”

“I have urgent matters for Shen, Miss Bai, could you please open the door,” Xiao Mo said.

“What urgent matter can’t wait until tomorrow? Shen is asleep,” Bai Man said.

“Please open the door, it really is an urgent matter, I need to speak with Shen in person.”

Bai Man was really angry, her face full of displeasure, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and stomped out.

With a backward flick of her hand, the door was yanked open, making a loud noise!

“I’m sorry, Miss Bai, may I ask where Shen is…”

“If you have something to say, you can tell me just the same,” Bai Man stood there looking every bit the wife of Shen.

Xiao Mo gave her a glance; this woman had really drunk a lot. The smell of alcohol permeated her body, and she hadn’t put her clothes on properly. At a glance, one could almost catch a glimpse of something they shouldn’t.

“I think I’d rather tell Shen Chi in person,” said Xiao Mo.

“What’s the difference between telling him and telling me?” sneered Bai Man. “I am Shen Chi’s woman now; what can’t you say to me?”

Shen Chi seemed to have heard the argument from the bathroom and asked in a deep voice, “Who?”

“President Shen, it’s me,” Xiao Mo replied.

Xiao Mo wondered, could these two have slept together?

He couldn’t help but glance at the bed; it was covered with a quilt, revealing nothing. However, the room was suffused with the ambiguous scent of aromatherapy, exuding a particular mood.

If Shen Chi dared to do anything to wrong Xu Chaomu, Xiao Mo would be the first to punch him!

“What are you doing here?” Shen Chi asked coldly.

Bai Man, looking as if she was enjoying the drama, leaned against the wall without making a sound. She was quite tired too, having drunk too much in the evening and feeling dizzy.

“President Shen, I have something important to discuss with you.”

“Shen Chi, just come out. Your dear secretary is too loyal. I told him to talk to me, but he refused.”

“Whatever it is, say it,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

Upon hearing Shen Chi’s words, a look of triumph flashed across Bai Man’s face as she cast a provocative glance at Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo’s face showed no particular expression, automatically ignoring Bai Man’s coldness.

“President Shen, since you refuse to give her a settlement, Miss Xu is threatening to commit suicide,” said Xiao Mo.

Bai Man scoffed dismissively, “Isn’t this just what women do? Cry, make a fuss, and threaten to hang themselves. Let her make her scene and see if she can outdo tonight’s event.”

“President Shen, Miss Xu is also threatening to call the media. Hers committing suicide is a minor issue, but calling the media, that’s serious. The company is preparing for several big projects right now. Once the media gets wind of this, it will inevitably affect the company’s stock and credibility.”

“Give her the money,” Shen Chi’s voice sounded faintly from the bathroom.

“She wants a hundred million,” Xiao Mo replied. “And at this point, talking is useless; she insists on seeing you. She said if you don’t show up, she’ll call the media.”

“She’s at her wit’s end,” Bai Man sneered. “Shen Chi doesn’t want her anymore; she’s as worthless as a piece of grass, no use wherever you throw it. This is her last-ditch effort. The funny thing is, Shen Chi doesn’t want her anymore.”

“Miss Bai is right,” Shen Chi said coldly. “Xu Chaomu is nothing more than a toy I’ve grown tired of. Is she even worth a hundred million?”

“President Shen, it’s not about that right now. Ms. Xu is preparing to call the media.”

“Are you useless?” Shen Chi cursed.

Xiao Mo’s mouth twitched involuntarily, his inner thoughts screaming. Was there really a need for such convincing acting? Was there a need to curse him? He felt like there were ten thousand llamas screaming inside his heart.

Fine then, he was the president, and he was the secretary.

Helplessly, Xiao Mo said with an innocent face, “I’ve done everything I could, President Shen. I’ve brought photos. Just now, Miss Xu has already slashed her wrists.”

A loud “bang” resounded as Shen Chi flung open the bathroom door!

His aura was as cold as frost, and his expression was terrible. The moment he came out, an intense chill radiated from his body.

Wrapped in a white towel, Shen Chi’s open collar revealed a stretch of wheat-colored sexy skin, and a faint scent still lingered on him.

Bai Man took a look at Shen Chi and hurriedly stepped forward, clutching his arm, “Shen Chi… don’t go. What’s it to you? Better off dead, let Xiao Mo handle it.”

“President Shen, look, I took some photos of the scene,” Xiao Mo said as he opened his phone to show the pictures to Shen Chi.

Suddenly, Shen Chi slapped the phone out of his hand with a “thud,” and Xiao Mo’s phone was thrown to the ground!

Bai Man was startled and looked down to find that, indeed, that woman, Xu Chaomu, would stoop to anything.

The photo displayed a wrist, dripping with fresh blood, a terrifying sight.
