Chapter 1110 - Chapter 1110 Chapter 1110 Double Betrayal
Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110: Double Betrayal Chapter 1110: Chapter 1110: Double Betrayal As she was feeling annoyed and distracted, her phone vibrated with a message from her subordinate.
Upon opening it, she saw several photographs.
Flipping through them one by one, they were all taken yesterday, featuring Xu Chaomu, Xiao Mo, and a child.
Most of the time, Xu Chaomu was holding the child, with Xiao Mo standing by guarding them.
Looking closely, the child was Xiaobao!
Although Xu Chaomu and Xiao Mo had no intimate gestures between them, they still looked very much like a family when they stood together. Especially the way Xiao Mo looked at Xu Chaomu, it was very tender.
Bai Man became more convinced of her previous thought, Xiao Mo must like Xu Chaomu!
If it weren’t for affection, why else would he protect her all the time, and why else would he wish for her happiness and joy so earnestly…
Looking at these photos, Bai Man felt some jealousy.
She still couldn’t figure out why Shen Chi would like such a woman. What’s so good about her? Was it just because of their many years of acquaintance?
No, she had known Shen Chi for longer than Xu Chaomu had!
While flipping through these photos, her subordinate sent her another text: Miss Bai, these were all taken by us yesterday.
“Got it,” Bai Man replied with three words.
The sunlight was hurting her eyes. What would Shen Chi’s reaction be if she sent these photos to him?
Betrayed by the woman he adored and the brother he trusted the most?
Such a double betrayal, it must be hard for him to bear, right?
She didn’t believe that Shen Chi would tolerate Xu Chaomu without limits!
He had her scandalous photos, and now she also had photos of his wife cheating. He made things difficult for her, so it seemed only fair that she shouldn’t make it easy for him either.
Thinking this way, she steadied herself on the wall and walked to her car.
She drove straight to a nearby print shop and printed out all the photos.
If he dared to expose her, she would dare to expose Xu Chaomu!
If they couldn’t love each other, then they might as well hate each other.
That day, Bai Man didn’t immediately go looking for Shen Chi. Negotiating with a wolf required more thorough consideration.
Shen Chi had given her just two days, two days’ time…
It had been a long time since she had a good night’s sleep. This time, Shen Chi’s intention was clear–he wanted the entire Bai Family’s assets!
The Bai Family was a financial giant in C City, with assets only second to Shen Group.
Since their industries were different, the two families had never been competitors and had managed to coexist peacefully. But this time, Shen Chi seemed set on acquiring the Bai Family.
She still didn’t dare tell Bai Xuan the whole matter.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, she couldn’t tell Bai Xuan!
Bai Man pondered the situation for an entire day, and by evening, she knew she couldn’t delay any longer. She needed to talk to Shen Chi.
She was well aware of Shen Chi’s methods. He said two days, and he would not grant her an extra hour!
At eight o’clock in the evening, she sat in a bar and called Shen Chi.
“Mr. Shen, there are some matters I think I need to discuss with you alone, something very important. I think you might be quite interested,” Bai Man got straight to the point.
Shen Chi, who was getting ready to attend a dinner party, sneered upon receiving Bai Man’s call, “Are you sure I would be interested?”
“If I weren’t confident, why would I dare call you, Mr. Shen? Don’t you know you’re a devil now?” Bai Man chuckled sarcastically.
“Well, I’ll have to see if I have the time.”
“I think, when it comes to Xu Chaomu, you’ll make time even if you have none, right?”
Bai Man spoke while fiddling with the photos in her hand.
In the photos, Xu Chaomu looked tender, a significant change from five years ago. The current Xu Chaomu had matured a lot, especially when she held Xiaobao, her face and eyes brimmed with a mother’s gentle love.
She would kiss Xiaobao from time to time, not hiding her affection and happiness at all.
Bai Man’s fingernails grazed Xu Chaomu’s face in the photo, hating that she couldn’t get close to her, powerless to act.
She shouldn’t have thought so far ahead in the past; she should have taken immediate action to get rid of Xu Chaomu’s child.
Shen Chi’s eyes grew sharp, and the speed of his car slowed considerably.
“Location,” he said coldly.
“That bar where we used to date five years ago,” Bai Man said indifferently, “Don’t come empty-handed. Bring all my photos. I have something to trade with you.”
Shen Chi chuckled coldly, “At a time like this, you’re still thinking of making a deal? Aren’t you afraid you’ll be completely wiped out?”
“As someone already facing death, do you think I’d be afraid?” Bai Man retorted with a cold laugh.
The two were at odds, neither giving an inch.
Hearing Bai Man’s tone, Shen Chi knew that whatever she had must be very important to him.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have the audacity to speak to him like that!
After all, she was a desperate woman.
“Fine, I’ll bring you what you want,” Shen Chi leaned back in the car seat, said casually.
This time, Bai Man was careful, because Shen Chi had said that those were just copies. So, she added, “I want the original files from your computer, all of them.”
“No problem.”
“Good, I’ll wait for you.” Bai Man’s lips curled into a smile.
In the bar, she had reserved a small private room, just for the two of them.
Even though the hustle and melody from outside could still be heard in the private room, it was much quieter.
Probably, this would be the last time she’d visit this bar with Shen Chi.
How beautiful the memories of five years ago had been, but alas, they would be no more.
Even if not long ago, he had given her a gift in this very bar, but from now on, those memories would be nothing but a dream.
The man she had once loved had given her a stab in the heart, a hurt she would never forget for as long as she lived.
With this thought, she dropped a white pill into a wine glass, gently shook it, and the pill dissolved.
The room was bathed in an orangish glow, casting twinkling starlight on the clear glass.
After waiting for a full forty minutes, Shen Chi finally walked into the room.
Upon entering, he sat across from Bai Man, legs crossed, his expression icy.
With a “snap”, he placed a dark blue USB drive on the table in front of him.
Seeing the USB drive, a different sparkle shone in Bai Man’s eyes momentarily, but she quickly reined it in, pretending to be calm.
However, Shen Chi saw right through her act; no one could play such tricks in front of him.
“Got anything to show me?” Shen Chi went straight to the point.
He had noticed a stack of photos by Bai Man’s hand, but due to the distance and angle, he couldn’t see them clearly.
She was quick, having obtained similar items to trade with him in such a short time.
Involving Xu Chaomu, he was curious about what it could be.
“Mr. Shen, what’s the rush? Why don’t we have a drink first?” Bai Man pushed a stemmed glass from in front of her towards Shen Chi.
