If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1055 - Chapter 1055 Chapter 1055 Able to Last Long

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Able to Last Long Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Able to Last Long “For all these years, you have always been his most beloved son. No matter how much unpleasantness has transpired between you, that fact is undeniable,” Zhou Ran said. “Actually, I also hope our family could be as united and harmonious as before.”

Zhou Ran’s voice was soft and gentle, like the willow brushes of March, light and breezy, exceptionally indifferent.

However, Shen Chi remained silent for a while, then spoke lightly, “This family has never been harmonious. How can it be like before?”

After speaking, Shen Chi raised his sharp eyes to look at Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran, however, remained impassive, lightly saying, “We can try to get along well.”

“That will depend on whether you and father have the sincerity,” he countered.

He had no objection to getting along harmoniously, but he hoped it wasn’t just an empty talk.

“I came to bring you something.” After speaking, Zhou Ran took out several certificate-like items from her bag and pushed them towards Shen Chi, “Shen Group is the most important thing under your father’s name, and the power of attorney is already given to you. These are his other companies and properties–all notarized, and from now on, they are all yours.”

These items were worth several billions of dollars. However, Shen Chi merely glanced down without a ripple in his eyes.

“I, Shen Chi, do not need these things,” he replied indifferently.

“It’s just a little intention from your father, also the culmination of his life’s work. I hope you will accept it,” Zhou Ran said.

“No need,” Shen Chi refused, “You all keep them.”

“The notarial work has been done, whether you accept them or not, they are yours,” Zhou Ran pushed all the items towards Shen Chi.

Shen Chi glanced at the items on the table and said no more.

The aroma of coffee wafted through the air, with dust particles congregating into tiny specks, floating and settling.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere returned to an awkward standstill.

Shen Chi was naturally a man of few words, and Zhou Ran was relatively quiet too, neither finding anything they wished to discuss.

After a while, it was Zhou Ran who spoke: “Yesterday, Manman went to see your father.”

Shen Chi’s grip on his coffee cup tightened, a layer of frost immediately covered his eyes, and his facial features stiffened slightly, but he remained silent.

“Manman has matured a lot since then, and she’s become more beautiful too. She brought many things for your father–she still remembers what he loves,” Zhou Ran said. “Your father was very pleased.”

Shen Chi still did not speak, just sipped from his cup.

“I’ve been reading the papers a lot recently. Manman and you seem close. Yesterday she also mentioned that her relationship with you is quite good,” Zhou Ran continued.

“Hmm,” Shen Chi murmured, saying no more.

“I too hope to see you well,” Zhou Ran said. “She was at fault five years ago, but she did nothing wrong. Now that she has returned after five years, you should get along well.”

It seemed to Zhou Ran that Shen Chi had already accepted Bai Man.

“If there is nothing else, I will head back to the office,” Shen Chi said deeply.

“Alright, I won’t keep you from your work then. Keep these,” she insisted.

Shen Chi didn’t speak, but still collected the items on the table.

He would later convert these into cash and deposit them into his father’s account, as he wouldn’t keep them.

Zhou Ran stood up first, taking her bag and walking slowly toward the cafe entrance.

She walked slowly. Actually, she wanted to talk a bit more with Shen Chi, really wanted to.

She loved Shen Di and Shen Chi equally, never distinguishing between them in her heart, always giving them the best.

Unfortunately, as they grew older, neither would listen to her anymore.

Especially Shen Chi, whose personality bore some resemblance to Shen Cexian–stubborn, cold.

If Bai Man really ended up with him, that would indeed be a good thing and something she hoped to see.

At least, she was not too keen on Xu Chaomu being with Shen Chi.

However, after the altercation in the hospital room with Shen Chi last time, she didn’t bother much with these matters anymore.

“Wait,” Shen Chi’s voice emerged from behind.

Zhou Ran paused her steps, thinking Shen Chi had something to say.

Shen Chi walked up to her and stood in front of Zhou Ran, speaking indifferently, “I wish for you and father not to meddle in my affairs anymore.”

Zhou Ran paused, realizing this was his message.

A faint arc formed at the corner of her lips, “I won’t.”

“That’s for the best,” Shen Chi said.

He certainly didn’t want his plans to be unexpectedly disrupted, nor did he want anyone interfering.

“Do you hold a grudge against me for what happened thirteen years ago?” Zhou Ran asked lightly.

Her gaze was not on Shen Chi but fixed on a distant white wall, a bit detached and puzzled.

“I do not wish for that matter to become a bargaining chip to provoke Chaomu,” Shen Chi said in a low voice.

His voice was not loud, but each word was filled with warning.

“Manman told me you’re divorced,” Zhou Ran stated.

“One thing at a time!”

“I’m also telling you, I never provoked her,” Zhou Ran replied calmly. “And her mother is far from as good as she imagines. Xu Mengxi’s heart is much harder than mine.”

Shen Chi fell silent. He had not been involved in the events of thirteen years ago, so he had no right to speak on it.

“Now that you and Manman seem to be on good terms, I wish you well and hope your relationship lasts,” Zhou Ran said.

“And I’ll tell you, Bai Man is far from being as good as you think,” Shen Chi said, leaving his sentence unfinished.

Zhou Ran raised her head, unable to guess Shen Chi’s intentions.

But Shen Chi was the child she had raised, how could she not understand him?

Yesterday, Bai Man visited Shen Cexian and mentioned that she and Shen Chi were quite close now–even intimate.

At that time, Zhou Ran had some doubts. Shen Chi, who usually remained unflappable, had a clear reason in everything he did. If he disliked someone, it was impossible for them to ever turn things around.

But Bai Man had apparently broken that rule.

Hearing Shen Chi’s words now deepened the suspicion in her heart.

But she wouldn’t inquire further, because she had just promised Shen Chi not to meddle in his affairs!

“You have your own convictions and thoughts, and I can’t influence them,” Zhou Ran said lightly.

After speaking, she left the cafe and walked downstairs.

Upon Zhou Ran’s departure, Shen Chi also left the cafe and went straight to his office.

He handed over everything Zhou Ran gave him to his secretary to deal with.

After that day, Zhou Ran no longer came to see Shen Chi, nor did she step into Shen Group again. As for Shen Cexian, he had even less contact with Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was too busy dealing with his own troubles to concern himself with these matters.

Xiao Mo had set numerous traps in a commercial street project, and Bai Man had withdrawn some funds from it, signing many contracts with additional terms.
