If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1129 - Chapter 1129 Chapter 1129 Its My Child Shen Chi

Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: It’s My Child, Shen Chi Chapter 1129: Chapter 1129: It’s My Child, Shen Chi “Pour the wine,” Bai Xuan told his assistant.

“No need, I have my usual drink,” Shen Chi replied, pressing the button in the private room.

Bai Xuan’s face really couldn’t take it, and even the assistant looked slightly embarrassed, hand frozen in mid-air.

Soon, the club’s staff brought over the drink Shen Chi often ordered.

Shen Chi was a regular at Weiyang; a glance or a gesture was all they needed to know his next move.

After pouring a glass for himself, Shen Chi said indifferently, “Uncle Bai, do you have something to tell me? Or have you come to your senses?”

“The three-day deadline is up; even if I didn’t want to come to my senses, I have to now,” Bai Xuan said.

“Oh? Then let’s hear what Uncle Bai is thinking.”

“I’ve looked over these contracts,” Bai Xuan pointed to the documents on the table and continued, “I’ve also consulted professional lawyers, and we all agree that several clauses are not clear, and besides, Manman said she signed them while drunk.”

Shen Chi sneered, “So you’re forcing me to take action, is that it?”

Bai Xuan and Bai Man truly had no remorse; even at this point, they were still trying to argue their way out.

“No, no, Shen, you should hear me out,” Bai Xuan said. “Since Manman made a mistake, she should pay for it, but could you step back a bit? I’ve come today with sincerity. Here are a few share transfer letters; I’m willing to hand over a significant share of the Bai Family’s stock to you.”

With that, Bai Xuan pushed the documents in front of Shen Chi.

Shen Chi didn’t even glance at them and said coldly, “There’s nothing to discuss.”

“It’s a minor mistake, and Manman doesn’t understand business; you don’t need to be so petty with a girl,” Bai Xuan said. “You grew up together, do you really have to be so unforgiving?”

Shen Chi looked at Bai Xuan coldly; he was still the same as always, a friendly smile on his face but treachery hidden behind it.

Shen Chi replied gravely, “She’s an adult, not a child; she has to be responsible for her actions! If I forgive her today, won’t she be even more wayward in the future?”

“I’ve already taught her a lesson; I sent her to an isolated island abroad. Without my orders, she can’t leave. I’ve kept her locked up; right now, she has neither a cellphone nor a computer.”

“Are you disciplining her or protecting her?” Shen Chi saw through Bai Xuan’s ploy at a glance.

Sending her to an isolated island abroad meant that Bai Man was out of reach, but he also couldn’t get any information from her.

Bai Xuan’s game was surprising.

“Of course I’m disciplining her. For a girl to be grounded is punishment enough. If you still think my sincerity isn’t enough, I can give you several subsidiaries under my name to Shen Group,” Bai Xuan said.

“Bai Xuan, you really have no sincerity at all,” Shen Chi sneered. “Do you think I, Shen Chi, would care for a few small companies?”

A chill went up Bai Xuan’s spine: “Do you really want to ruin the Bai Family?”

“No discussion!”

“Then take it to court!” Bai Xuan was also angry now.

All pleas had been made, yet Shen Chi remained utterly unyielding. Even for the sake of both families’ reputations, he was ruthlessly indifferent, but Shen Chi was a merciless and cold man!

“Since Uncle Bai has said as much, I would be disappointing you if I didn’t go, wouldn’t I?”

“I, Bai Xuan, consider myself honorable; I’m not afraid of your lawsuit. Though the Bai Family’s assets are not as significant as Shen’s, they are not small. Even if you sue, it may not benefit you. By then, if both families cause a scene, it wouldn’t bode well for Shen Group’s reputation.”

Bai Xuan was an experienced businessman; he knew the intricacies involved.

“Then go ahead and try,” Shen Chi was ruthless.

Did he, Shen Chi, not understand these principles?

However, that’s for others to consider; for him, Shen Chi, it was easy as pie!

“Shen Chi, I hope you reconsider. Our families have a close relationship. I’ve asked Manman; she denies being responsible for the death of your child. Perhaps, there has been some misunderstanding.”

“You think an executioner would admit it openly?” Shen Chi said softly.

“Say whatever you want, sue if you must, I, Bai Xuan, will be waiting.”

Bai Xuan had nothing to fear; lawsuits were not simple and required many legal procedures; by the time everything is processed, it could be an unknown amount of time later.

“Uncle Bai, rest assured, I will settle all accounts, old and new.”

“A real ingrate, I saved an ingrate!” Bai Xuan fumed, “Had I known, why would I have saved you at all?”

“Have you forgotten? Five years ago, you also needed me, Shen Chi, to save your precious daughter’s life. How did she repay me? Because of Bai Man, I nearly lost Mumu, which also caused us to miss five years together!”

These events cast a chilling light in Shen Chi’s eyes, like icicles.

“Manman was wrong, but under those circumstances, her actions to save her own life are understandable!”

“Sure, understandable, but then, wouldn’t it also be understandable for me to take over the Bai Family and send you to prison for the sake of Chaomu’s child?!”

“You…” Bai Xuan was rendered speechless by Shen Chi’s words.

Of course, he was protecting Bai Man, even though she had indeed done something wrong.

“Since Uncle Bai is still insincere at the final deadline, don’t blame me for being unfeeling.”

“Shen Chi, do you really have to annihilate the Bai Family? Let me tell you, you won’t gain anything from it, and more likely, it will result in the situation where the snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman wins!” Bai Xuan threatened.

Bai Xuan’s implication couldn’t be clearer–if Shen Chi insisted on fighting with him, it might end up benefiting Shen Shihan!

“Thinking you can benefit depends on if you have the ability,” Shen Chi said softly.

“Why not join forces? You have your tactics, and I have my experience. If our two families teamed up, it would be perfect. Why tear each other apart?” Bai Xuan still tried to persuade.

“Uncle Bai, you might be good at negotiating, but your negotiation tactics are useless here.”

“You will pay for your stubbornness; it’s just a child, and I hear it’s not even your flesh and blood. To be so righteous about being cuckolded, don’t you think it makes you a laughingstock, Shen? If this gets out, where will Shen Group’s face be?”

Bai Xuan played his ace, aiming directly at Shen Chi’s vulnerability.

Indeed, Shen Chi’s eyes changed, but that was quickly concealed.

“Uncle Bai, you’re old enough not to slander people,” Shen Chi replied gravely. “Let me tell you, that child is indeed my child, Shen Chi’s child. Otherwise, why would I bother so much, ready to be an enemy to your Bai Family?”

Bai Xuan remained noncommittal, his eyelids twitched at the revelation. Was the child really Shen Chi’s?

Looking at Shen Chi’s reaction, it seemed true.

Such a clever man as Shen Chi would not keep the child if it wasn’t his blood, would he?
