Chapter 1097 - Chapter 1097 Chapter 1097 Shen Chis Mobile Number

Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Shen Chi’s Mobile Number Chapter 1097: Chapter 1097: Shen Chi’s Mobile Number Bai Man made a call, but it was fruitless.

She felt a surge of resentment building up inside her with nowhere to vent. If she still had Xu Chaomu’s child in her custody at this moment, she would have definitely dealt with them harshly.

Unfortunately, Xiao Mo had beaten her to it!

Right now, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.

She got up and went to the bathroom, burying herself in the bathtub, using water to wash away all the unbearable events of the evening. She also poured a lot of essential oils into the bathtub to mask the man’s scent.

However, she had only managed to obtain fifty million US dollars tonight, and there was still fifteen million left. What should she do!

The deadline was coming by the day after tomorrow evening!

She couldn’t help feeling a bit anxious, but after the anxiety came a great sadness.

Surrounded by the fragrance of the essential oils, she soaked in the tub and slowly drifted off to sleep.

The steam enshrouded the entire bathroom, forming a thin layer of mist on the mirror.

…

The next day, at Shen Group.

As soon as Xiao Mo arrived at work, he developed some photos and placed them in front of Shen Chi.

After a quick glance, Shen Chi said indifferently, “Keep them, it’s still not enough.”

“I understand, I just wanted you to take a look.”

“It’s good that you’ve seen them. I trust your work.” After saying this, Shen Chi gave Xiao Mo a deep and somber look.

Xiao Mo nodded, “Alright, I’ll report to you tomorrow night.”

“Hmm.”

“President Shen, is there anything else you need?”

“You spoke with Bai Man on the phone the morning before yesterday?” Shen Chi asked casually, as if it was just a passing remark.

“Yes, she called me to ask about contract matters, and I explained them to her,” Xiao Mo said.

He hadn’t expected Shen Chi to ask about this, but he was quick to react, concealing the fact that Bai Man had asked about Xiaobao.

He was definitely not going to give Xiaobao to Shen Chi. As for how Chaomu would handle things in the future, that was Chaomu’s concern. If this man, Shen Chi, showed no sincerity, how could he be confident about letting Chaomu follow him in the future.

However, recently, Shen Chi had handled a lot of things very appropriately, which reassured him somewhat.

“Oh, that matter.” Shen Chi tapped lightly on the desk, “It’s nothing, you can go now.”

“Hmm,” Xiao Mo responded and then left Shen Chi’s office.

After Xiao Mo left, Shen Chi stared at the wall opposite him, silent for several minutes.

After a long while, he finally picked up his mobile phone and dialed the unfamiliar number he had saved a few days ago.

The number was registered in Jin City.

Jin City was quite close to C City, just about a two-hour drive away.

He stared at the number for a long, long time before he finally dialed it with his phone.

When the call came in, Xu Chaomu was discussing design drafts with the manager of a partnering firm.

Because Xiao Mo had told her about adopting a child, she had been anxious to complete her tasks and return to Jin City to pack her things as soon as possible.

These past few days, she had been too excited to sleep, continually hearing the little guy “talking” to her in her mind.

Annoyingly, the partner was too picky. She had been in A City for so long now, and they were still not satisfied.

“Miss Xu, this part doesn’t quite meet our expectations. We hope you can modify it,” the manager said.

Xu Chaomu was indignant, “But I’ve already changed it according to your requirements, and you had agreed to it before.”

“But the results are not as perfect as we imagined, so we hope Miss Xu can bear with us and make some revisions.”

The manager’s attitude was very sincere, so sincere that she found it hard to argue.

Xu Chaomu could only swallow her resentment, took back the draft, and said, “Alright, I’ll revise it again, but this is the last time.”

“Miss Xu just needs to do her best,” the manager said with a smile.

Xu Chaomu bit her teeth–she always tried her best, didn’t she!

After more discussion, Xu Chaomu finally left the manager’s office.

Just as she was leaving the office, Shen Chi happened to be calling for the second time.

Holding the blueprints in her hands, Xu Chaomu’s phone rang. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number, she did not take a close look and simply answered, “Hello, good day.”

Upon hearing her voice, Shen Chi felt as if all his nerves were stirred, and his blood seemed to stop flowing.

His hand tightly gripped the phone, his thin lips slightly pursed, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

This voice reached his ears again–as familiar as it was–like it had been separated from him for a century.

Xu Chaomu, you are cruel.

“Hello?” Xu Chaomu said softly again.

For a moment, Shen Chi’s mind was resonating with only her voice.

“Who is it?” Xu Chaomu muttered, removing her phone and hanging up the call.

It would have been better not to hang up, as soon as she did, she recognized the number!

With a “snap,” she was so startled that all the blueprints fell to the floor, and she almost dropped her phone.

This number, she knew all too well–a number she could recite in her sleep!

Shen Chi’s phone number!

The number he hadn’t changed for over a decade!

She stood frozen in place, her mind in a daze, her brain blank for a moment.

“Miss Xu, you dropped your things.” The manager, coming out of the office, bent down to pick up the documents and blueprints from the floor.

Xu Chaomu didn’t react at all, her mind replaying the scene over and over.

Shen Chi… had he found her? Did he know she was in A City? Or maybe, the moment she stepped out of this office building, he would appear before her?

For some reason, her hands were trembling.

Having left him so abruptly without a word, how could he not come to settle scores with her!

“Miss Xu!” the manager called again.

It was only then that Xu Chaomu snapped back to reality. She glanced at the manager, quickly took her things from his hands, and hurriedly ran away.

“Has she seen a ghost?!” The manager was completely baffled.

Xu Chaomu ran quickly, truly frightened that in the next second, that cold man might just appear before her as if from nowhere.

She was actually afraid of him–why should she be scared of him…

After running several dozen steps, she calmed down again. Why should she be afraid of him?

She quickly ducked into a corner and dialed Xiao Mo on her phone.

“Xiao Mo, there’s an emergency.”

“What’s wrong?” Xiao Mo also sounded tense.

“I just got a call…” Xu Chaomu was a bit out of breath.

“Take it slow,” Xiao Mo said.

Someone had called her–could it be Bai Man’s people? Logically, Bai Man’s people wouldn’t dare trouble Xu Chaomu, not with his people watching nearby!

“No, not them…” Xu Chaomu shook her head. “It’s, it’s your boss.”

“President Shen?”

“Yes.”

“What did he say?” Xiao Mo quickly asked.

“Not a word, not a single word!” Xu Chaomu emphasized again. “Where is he? Is he in A City or Jin City?”

“Don’t panic, he’s in the office, I just came from there.”
