Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Fourth Uncle Has a Very Bad Character Chapter 1128: Chapter 1128: Fourth Uncle Has a Very Bad Character Upon entering the living room, she tossed her handbag onto the couch without intending to open it.

Xiaobao was still crying incessantly. Xu Chaomu got angry, shook the crib, and snorted coldly, “Xiaobao, if you cry again, I’ll throw you into the garbage heap, and then you’ll be eaten by wolves. No crying!”

Xiaobao couldn’t understand anyway; he only knew he really wanted to cry.

Xu Chaomu was at her wit’s end; the little guy had been crying for over half an hour. She covered her ears and walked out of the bedroom helplessly.

She really didn’t know why he was crying–he wasn’t hungry, sleepy, or wet.

When she got back to the living room, her eyes landed on the handbag.

A sudden thought struck her–last night, when Shen Chi took Xiaobao shopping, Xiaobao was very happy.

He’s not the kind of person to shop–it must have been Xiaobao pointing things out.

With that thought, she opened the handbag.

Unexpectedly, it was packed with things. Besides clothes, shoes, and hats, there were also many toys and stuffed animals.

When she was a child and would fuss about buying this and that while out with him, he’d just give her a disdainful look and never buy anything; he thought it childish.

She casually picked up a big-eyed rabbit and actually smiled.

The rabbit was cute and very clean.

However, seeing the price tag still attached made her lips droop–it was more than three hundred for a small rabbit.

She glanced at the other items; they were all the same, very expensive.

Expensive for her, but for Shen Chi, it was less than a drop in the bucket.

He was right, she couldn’t provide Xiaobao with a good life…

Although she would try her best, even if she tried for ten, twenty years, or a lifetime, it would never reach the Shen Family’s standard of living.

But she believed she could give Xiaobao a lot of love.

She picked up a rabbit and a bear and walked towards the bedroom, tossing one doll beside Xiaobao’s pillow and placing the other in his arms.

Feeling the soft things, Xiaobao paused at first, blinked curiously,

“What’s this fluffy fat thing?”

Out of curiosity, after he paused, he stopped crying and tugged on the little white rabbit’s ears, bouncing them up and down.

He also held the little white rabbit in his arms, hugging it like a little baby, afraid Xu Chaomu would snatch it away.

He stopped crying, and Xu Chaomu’s mood improved a bit.

But why had her long attempt at comforting him not worked as well as a single rabbit?

She suddenly felt a bit jealous of that rabbit!

The little rabbit was held by Xiaobao, who was delighted and giggled, rubbing the rabbit against his face.

“Xiaobao, how could you do this? Mommy comforted you for so long, and you kept crying, but you stop for a little rabbit?” Xu Chaomu lowered her head and said.

She reached out to touch Xiaobao’s cheek and pretended to snatch his rabbit away.

Xiaobao grabbed it back forcefully, hugging it tightly to prevent Xu Chaomu from taking it.

If Xu Chaomu tried to take it again, he glared at her.

“Mommy doesn’t want you anymore, a rabbit has bought you off. If that bad uncle buys you other things in the future, will you not want Mommy anymore? Will you go with him?”

Xu Chaomu felt so distressed. What if Shen Chi truly tricked Xiaobao with things in the future?

Though Shen Chi wasn’t emotionally intelligent, his IQ definitely outmatched hers; she couldn’t guard against him constantly.

“Xiaobao, mommy is telling you, that uncle isn’t a good person, he’s been very mean to mommy. Don’t go with him, no matter how he tries to trick you, okay?”

“Xiaobao, he’s not really an uncle; he’s your fourth uncle–a man of poor character and nasty attitude. You’ll understand when you grow up.”

“Xiaobao, you promise Mommy, never let him deceive you.”

Xu Chaomu whispered much in Xiaobao’s ear, knowing he didn’t understand, yet she still needed to say it.

Not only now but also in the future, she must mention this so that Xiaobao doesn’t get too close to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi’s arrival thoroughly disrupted her peaceful life.

…

In two days, she has to go to work. In the afternoon, she could only go to a domestic center to hire an aunt.

Aunts are difficult to find nowadays, and their fees are very high.

The aunt she hired cost three thousand a month, which was actually quite reasonable.

She gritted her teeth and agreed because she couldn’t take care of Xiaobao while she was at work.

She decided to buy fewer clothes and snacks to save some money.

“Aunt, just help me take care of Xiaobao a bit while I’m at work. When I come home, you can leave,” Xu Chaomu said.

“All right, Miss Xu.”

“Xiaobao is very obedient,” Xu Chaomu proudly stated.

“Okay, Miss Xu, rest assured, I will definitely take good care of him. You can go to work with peace of mind.”

“Thank you.”

“It’s my job to earn my wage, I will definitely do the job well.”

Xu Chaomu nodded, feeling reassured. The aunt seemed easy to get along with, and she hoped Xiaobao would like her too.

Two days later, she officially went to work.

During those two days, Shen Chi did not bother her again, nor did he send any disorderly subordinates to harass her; she had a relatively peaceful time.

However, though Shen Chi did not come to Jin City, he had people watching Xu Chaomu all the time to protect her.

“President Shen, tonight, Mr. Bai would like to invite you to dinner,” Ruan Hang came into Shen Chi’s office.

“Which Mr. Bai?” Shen Chi did not look up, his eyes fixed on the documents in his hand.

“Mr. Bai Xuan,” the secretary said.

“Do you think I should go or not?” Shen Chi asked in return.

“The Bai Family is a finance tycoon in C City, and Mr. Bai has always been kind to people. I think you can go,” the secretary said.

“Then go arrange it.”

“Alright.” The secretary nodded. “Will you make the reservation?”

“Weiyang, my private room.”

“Alright.”

The secretary quickly left the president’s office. Shen Chi watched his departing figure with some gloom.

The secretary didn’t understand his intentions, let alone his thoughts. After trying him out for a few days, he was dissatisfied in every aspect.

At this moment, he inexplicably thought of someone else.

Annoyed, he threw down the documents in his hand, swiveled his chair, and faced the floor-to-ceiling windows to look outside.

At 7:30 PM, he arrived at the Weiyang Club.

Bai Xuan was already waiting for him, and although Bai Xuan was his senior, he did not dare to be negligent in front of Shen Chi.

Besides, he had brought along an assistant, with only the two of them in the private room.

Upon Shen Chi’s arrival, Bai Xuan and his assistant stood up and extended a hand: “President Shen.”

“Hmm.” Shen Chi did not shake hands but walked directly inside.

Bai Xuan’s hand remained extended, somewhat awkwardly.

He sheepishly lowered his arm and took a seat opposite Shen Chi.

Previously, he used to call Shen Chi “Achi,” but now, like everyone else, he had to call him “President Shen.”

He and Shen Chi’s father, Shen Cexian, were of the same generation, but in front of this younger generation, he had to bow his head.
