If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1140 - Chapter 1140 Chapter 1140 The Children Are Already Several

Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: The Children Are Already Several Years Old Chapter 1140: Chapter 1140: The Children Are Already Several Years Old At mealtime, Bai Xuan called him again.

Bai Xuan just wouldn’t give up, as he couldn’t find anyone better than Shen Shihan to help him.

Moreover, Shen Shihan and Shen Chi were still sworn enemies.

But, this time, Shen Shihan didn’t even pick up the phone.

While he was with Mo Shuifu, Shen Shihan had turned off his phone; he didn’t allow anyone to disturb them when he was with her.

When Bai Xuan’s call went unanswered, he grew even more flustered.

Over the years, he had been smooth-sailing, but he hadn’t expected that, in his middle age, he would face such a major blow.

The Bai Family’s company was his everything–if he lost it, he had no courage to go on living…

Thinking this, he drove to the Luo Family Medical Group with the attitude of giving it a try.

Shen Cexian was a man who cherished old gratitude; he certainly wouldn’t sit idly by. After all, Bai Xuan had once saved their lives.

In the hospital, Zhou Ran was sitting beside the bed, talking to Shen Cexian.

When Bai Xuan arrived, they weren’t prepared at all.

“Bai Xuan, what brings you here today?” Shen Cexian asked from the hospital bed.

“Cexian, not to hide it from you, I am here today to ask for help.” Bai Xuan cut straight to the chase, for he was already desperate.

“Oh? What could be so urgent? I remember you always being calm.” Shen Cexian joked.

The two families hadn’t been able to become relatives through marriage, and both Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran felt regretful and even guilty toward Bai Xuan, especially since years ago, they had promised that their families would become in-laws one day, to visit each other often.

Now that Bai Xuan said he needed to ask for help, Shen Cexian of course didn’t refuse.

“Bai Xuan, take a seat and talk.” Zhou Ran poured him a cup of tea.

Zhou Ran’s personality had changed a lot, always being in the hospital, she was no longer as domineering and stubborn as before.

Back then, she argued fiercely with Shen Cexian, only to realize now that there was nothing worth fighting over.

“Thank you.” Bai Xuan thanked her, then explained everything to Shen Cexian in detail.

Zhou Ran also listened from the side, and they both realized that Bai Xuan was truly in a hurry this time.

Hearing Bai Xuan speak, Shen Cexian’s brow furrowed deeper, and Zhou Ran also showed a surprised expression.

“That bastard really wants to take over the Bai Family?” Shen Cexian gasped, patting the bed.

“I’m afraid it’s not just that… he’s contemplating sending us to prison, and moreover, Zhilan is still in his hands,” Bai Xuan said anxiously.

“Ungrateful wretch!” Shen Cexian cursed. “He’s turning his back on his own kin! The Bai Family has been kind to the Shen Family, I’ve always told him to repay kindness with kindness!”

“I’m not asking for repayment of kindness; our families have always been close. It was only right for me to help the Shen Family,” Bai Xuan sighed. “I just didn’t expect Achi to…”

“Cough, cough…” Shen Cexian started coughing.

“Cexian, don’t be angry, please don’t be angry,” Zhou Ran hurriedly came over to pat his back.

“Cexian, I really had no other option but to come to you, I know you are not well, I’m sorry,” Bai Xuan said.

Shen Cexian waved his hand: “It’s fine, if he really doesn’t regard me, I don’t recognize him as my son anymore!”

“Cexian, don’t get excited. Achi has always been good, it’s that little vixen who corrupted him. If not for her, Achi would have married Manman a long time ago, by now… the children would already be several years old,” Bai Xuan sighed again.

“You’re right about that,” Shen Cexian also sighed.

Five years ago, Shen Chi and Bai Man were about to get married.

“The responsibility is mine,” Zhou Ran said quietly.

If it weren’t for bringing Xu Chaomu back thirteen years ago, there would be no subsequent troubles.

“Aran, don’t say that, no one could have foreseen how much Achi would come to like her,” Shen Cexian said.

“Cexian, Aran, hasn’t that little fox spirit already left?”

“How could Achi let her leave?” Zhou Ran said, “Her leaving was intentional, there’s a phrase called ‘to feign defeat to win the battle.'”

Bai Xuan felt righteous and indignant, “Just like five years ago, she intentionally left for five years to make Achi never stop thinking about her.”

“Who says otherwise,” Zhou Ran said expressionlessly.

She obviously did not want to discuss this matter too much, they had all witnessed Shen Chi’s obsession with Xu Chaomu.

He originally didn’t want to start any conflict with Shen Chi, but unexpectedly, Shen Chi had laid hands on Bai Xuan.

“Cexian, I don’t know if you have any good ideas, after all, you understand Achi a bit better,” Bai Xuan said, “The Bai Family’s enterprise is my years of hard work, I want to properly safeguard it.”

“Achi is too stubborn, he definitely won’t listen to us,” Zhou Ran said.

“Um,” Shen Cexian simply responded lightly, picking up the water glass at hand.

Bai Xuan became anxious, “So am I supposed to just wait for the Bai Family’s enterprise to be taken over?”

At that moment, a slight restlessness flashed in Shen Cexian’s eyes.

But he quickly suppressed that unrest, gave Bai Xuan a look, and ultimately remained silent.

It was Zhou Ran who softly said, “Why don’t you go and discuss it properly with Achi again?”

“If talking it out was useful, I wouldn’t be here seeking help from you.”

“The Bai Family is very huge; even if Achi wants to acquire it, it won’t happen in a day or two. He might just be talking. Just cope as best as you can for now. Once his mood betters after some time, you can discuss it with him again,” Zhou Ran said.

“Aran, you know Achi’s personality better than I do, once he’s determined to do something, it won’t just be talk,” Bai Xuan said anxiously.

Zhou Ran was silent; how could she not know, this was her own son.

Shen Cexian took a sip of water and also remained silent.

For a while, the hospital room was very quiet.

“Cexian, Aran, please help me think of a solution…” Bai Xuan was still in a hurry.

Suddenly, with a “bang,” the door to the hospital room was pushed open!

Everyone in the room lifted their heads and looked towards the door!

It was none other than Shen Chi himself!

Shen Chi appeared as if he had just come from a formal occasion, wearing a black suit and pants, with a deep blue tie, his complexion indifferent and frosty.

He stepped inside, each step firm and steady.

Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran didn’t have much of a reaction, the biggest reaction was from Bai Xuan.

How could he encounter Shen Chi with every step he took…

It was Shen Chi who was calm and composed; he stood still in front of the hospital bed, his facial features deep and somber, his gaze icy.

His thin lips parted slightly, pulling into a cold smirk, “Uncle Bai, how many times have I told you, my father is unwell; don’t come to disturb them.”

Bai Xuan was somewhat uneasy, yes, Shen Chi had said that.

It was Zhou Ran who spoke lightly, “He just came to visit your father, don’t overthink it.”

“Whether it’s a visit or not, he knows in his heart,” Shen Chi said.

“Achi, how do you talk to your elders?!” Shen Cexian yelled.

“Those who deserve respect are called elders; those who are neither kind nor righteous, do they still deserve to be considered elders?” Shen Chi retorted without any courtesy.
