If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1084 - Chapter 1084 Chapter 1084 Shen Chi What Do You Mean

Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Shen Chi, What Do You Mean? Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Shen Chi, What Do You Mean? “Black on white, I think, I have not made a mistake. President Shen was afraid you couldn’t understand, and specially sent me to explain it to you in detail,” Lawyer Chen said in an unhurried pace.

The calmness of Lawyer Chen formed a stark contrast with Bai Man, whose back was already soaked with sweat, dampening her dress.

Yet, on the surface, she maintained utmost calmness, her expression unchanged.

“President Shen? What did he say?” Bai Man asked.

“President Shen noticed you hadn’t made any move to contribute funds and suspected you didn’t understand the terms, so he called me to explain. Look, if you’re satisfied with my explanation, would you prepare the funds as soon as possible?” Lawyer Chen replied methodically.

“Two hundred million US Dollars?! The terms clearly state that Shen Group is to finance two hundred million US Dollars, how did it become my responsibility?” Bai Man exclaimed angrily.

“Miss Bai, I just explained it to you once before, it seems I did not explain it well enough, let me go over it again…”

After saying that, Lawyer Chen, with tireless patience, was ready to start explaining again.

“Enough!” Bai Man cut him off, not letting him continue, “No matter how you explain it, it still means that I am the one who has to provide these funds, right?”

“You are correct.”

“Is that exactly what Shen Chi told you?” Bai Man asked.

“Yes,” Lawyer Chen nodded, “If you have any doubts, you can voice them.”

“Is he just urging me to contribute funds, or does he have other motives?” Bai Man pressed.

“President Shen just wanted me to remind you,” Lawyer Chen said truthfully, “There are three days left for the deadline.”

Bai Man had originally thought that Shen Group would provide the funds and she would just wait to collect the profits. She had read the contract many times, and that was what it indicated, but as Lawyer Chen explained, she instantly felt it was a trap!

If it was a trap, then Shen Chi was the one who set it up!

So it turns out…

Bai Man felt a chill in her heart, how could he do this, how could he…

“I’ll call him!”

Bai Man’s complexion had already changed, her breathing a bit hurried.

She frantically dug out her mobile phone from her bag and dialed Shen Chi’s number.

However, just as she was about to make the call, a deep and icy voice came from the room next door: “No need to call.”

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the small room opened.

Bai Man was taken aback, quickly raising her head, not expecting Shen Chi to be here!

Her hand trembled, and the phone dropped from her grasp, landing on the floor with a “thud”.

Lawyer Chen nodded: “President Shen.”

Shen Chi strode forward with his long legs, clad in black trousers and a dark shirt, exuding an aura of noble detachment. He approached Bai Man with firm steps, his face devoid of any expression, frosty.

Especially those eyes of his, as unfathomable as dark pool waters, sharp and deep!

He stood directly in front of Bai Man, maintaining a short distance from her.

As he drew near, Bai Man involuntarily stepped back, her heart pounding. She was still afraid of him.

The presence of this man was too overpowering, so much so that she dared not meet his eyes. In the end, it was her own guilt that loomed over her.

This time, she truly was finished.

If there was anyone to blame, it was herself for loving him too much. Whenever he showed a bit of kindness towards her, she felt it was different, she couldn’t help but want to open up her heart to him completely.

Only he could make her act so foolishly!

But five years later, she never expected that he would use the same trick to deceive her.

This gentle trap was far more terrifying than indifference!

Just the other day, they were having a pleasant conversation, showing mutual concern. Little did she know, he would suddenly turn his back on her, just like the erratic summer weather.

“Can you come up with two hundred million US dollars within three days?” Shen Chi asked coldly.

“Shen Chi, you know very well I can’t!”

“The Bai Family can,” Shen Chi stated firmly.

“That’s impossible! My dad would never give me such a large sum of money!” Bai Man shouted.

In his eyes, she saw ruthlessness and a lack of mercy. It seemed he truly intended to drive her to a dead end.

Two hundred million US dollars–how could she possibly come up with that? He had planned this all along!

“Then there’s nothing I can do,” Shen Chi looked at her, his indifferent gaze falling on her face without a trace of pity.

“Shen Chi, are you drunk or something? Look at me, who do you think I am?!” Bai Man yelled.

Shen Chi turned his head and said to Lawyer Chen, “You can leave now.”

“Okay, President Shen.” Lawyer Chen tidied up the documents on the table and immediately left the office.

Once Lawyer Chen was gone, Shen Chi’s expression grew even uglier, and with a scornful, mocking laugh, he said, “Who do you think you are?”

“Are you drunk?”

Bai Man suddenly rushed at him, grabbing his arms and shaking them vigorously!

The moment she drew close, he caught the scent of her signature light cherry blossom perfume. Shen Chi frowned and effortlessly shook off her hands.

Then, he frowned in disgust, “Don’t touch me!”

Bai Man staggered and nearly fell.

Fortunately, she caught the corner of the desk, steadying herself, but not without bruising her hand painfully.

“Shen Chi, what is this supposed to mean?” Bai Man demanded, “What’s the meaning of all these contracts?! Didn’t we agree to stand together, to manage these projects, to make both our families prosper?”

“The Shen Group is strong enough on its own, it doesn’t need to join forces with you… you just wanted a share of the profits, am I right, Bai Man?”

A sneer of mockery appeared on Shen Chi’s face, his gaze fixed tightly on Bai Man’s.

“If you weren’t so greedy, would you have fallen into this trap? If you only wanted to stand together with me, with no ulterior motives, would you have agreed to sign this contract?” Shen Chi said harshly.

Momentarily speechless, Bai Man realized the truth… it was the benefits. She wanted too much, she wanted both Shen Chi and the profits, and in the end, she was left with nothing.

“But, Shen Chi, don’t you think you’re being unreasonable? Why exploit me? There must be many people who want to collaborate with you on this project. Why target me?” Bai Man questioned.

“Don’t you get it?” Shen Chi looked at her coldly, “What I wanted was to see you ruined and disgraced, to let you experience what it’s like to fall from heaven to hell.”

“Shen Chi, I trusted you too much, you’re not human at all!

“If I’m not human, what does that make you?”

Shen Chi watched her leisurely, his face filled with indifference and scorn.

“You–why would you scheme against me like this? Don’t you feel you’re too cold-hearted? Also, were all those sweet nothings you said to me lies?” Bai Man still appeared incredulous.

She just couldn’t believe it!

If they hadn’t come from his heart, how could his words have seemed so earnest, so real?
