If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1149 - Chapter 1149 Chapter 1149 Sell Her to the Mountains

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Sell Her to the Mountains Chapter 1149: Chapter 1149: Sell Her to the Mountains She happily looked at the skincare product in her hand; she had seen a bottle at a wealthy relative’s house, albeit a very small one.

Just as she was about to pick it up to take a look, the relative screamed, “Put it down, put it down, do you know how expensive this little bottle is?!”

At that time she shook her head to indicate she didn’t know, and the relative told her, this little bottle was five thousand yuan!

She looked again at what she held in her hands, this was a large bottle, a genuine large bottle!

Tsk tsk, just how rich was this man!

The key was, he was still young!

And the most crucial thing was, he was good-looking! He was also exceptionally patient with Xiaobao, not at all minding that Xiaobao was adopted.

With such a man pursuing her, why wait for the next lifetime to marry him?!

The aunt truly did not understand Xu Chaomu’s way of thinking, but her own opinion was, the man should come by more often!

She beamed joyfully at the gift in her hand and hurried to hide it in the storage compartment of her electric scooter.

And those two supermarket cards, tsk tsk, she estimated that they contained at least a few thousand yuan, minimally.

This money couldn’t be hogged all to herself; she would have to spend a bit more on good things for Xiaobao and Xu Chaomu in the future.

She couldn’t bear to use the skincare product herself and planned to sell it when she found the time; the proceeds would cover her son’s tuition for several years. Tsk tsk, truly a display of obscene wealth.

At noon, Xu Chaomu got off work and came back home.

She was so tired she couldn’t even eat lunch, collapsing onto the bed the moment she got home.

“So tired…”

Xiaobao woke up, crawling around in his crib on his own.

“Mama…” Xiaobao babbled, his big eyes on Xu Chaomu.

Mommy was back, but the handsome uncle was gone.

However, the two were always arguing, giving the baby a headache.

The handsome uncle took the baby to buy clothes; he could also take mommy clothes shopping, huh? Buying new clothes would surely make mommy as happy as the baby.

Xiaobao blinked his big eyes at Xu Chaomu, babbling “bolobolo.”

Xu Chaomu was desperately sleepy; as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xiaobao wearing new clothes.

She didn’t buy these clothes…

With a jolt, she sat up.

“Xiaobao, who bought the clothes you’re wearing?”

Xiaobao smiled at her, looking very happy.

Xu Chaomu didn’t need to ask; she knew, damn it, Shen Chi had been here again.

“Ugly as sin,” Xu Chaomu huffed coldly, and then covered herself with the blanket to sleep again.

Xiaobao felt wronged; mommy said he was ugly, she said he was ugly…

Baby wasn’t ugly, baby’s clothes weren’t ugly, baby was the most beautiful baby in the world…

But… mommy said he was ugly…

“Wah,” Xiaobao cried!

“Ah ah…” Xu Chaomu was going insane, this little Xiaobao! He was actually crying! He was crying!

“Auntie, take him away, throw him away,” Xu Chaomu said with a mournful face.

The auntie rushed in and lifted Xiaobao out of the crib, “Xiaobao, don’t cry, don’t cry, let mommy sleep. Miss Xu, aren’t you going to eat something?”

“No, just take him downstairs.”

“Alright, I’ll take him away now.”

Having said that, the auntie took Xiaobao out to play. Finally, Xu Chaomu found peace and fell back asleep.

Shen Chi felt quite good after returning home.

He had spent half the day playing with Xiaobao and was very pleased.

Previously, he particularly disliked children and didn’t have the patience to play with little ones, but meeting Xiaobao seemed like fate.

It was not a matter of loving the house and its crow, he genuinely liked Xiaobao.

However… it would be nice if such a cute baby had a sibling to play with.

This bad idea flashed through his mind but was quickly suppressed.

After returning to C City, Ruan Hang updated him on the progress of dealing with the Bai Family incident; the court was speeding up the process, and Bai Xuan was still under surveillance.

“Go see Jiang Zhilan,” Shen Chi said.

“Alright, I’ll arrange it now,” Ruan Hang replied.

“Mhm.”

Jiang Zhilan had been placed by Shen Chi in a very secret location, far-flung and unreachable, where no one would find her.

Shen Chi had assigned people to guard her around the clock, with bodyguards swarming the place inside and out.

Shen Chi hadn’t done anything to Jiang Zhilan. He treated her well with food and drink but strictly forbade her from leaving.

When he arrived, Shen Chi pushed open the door.

Jiang Zhilan, sitting at the table, looked up warily at Shen Chi as he approached.

A flicker of panic passed through her eyes, but she tried her best to calm herself.

“Auntie, are you comfortable living here?” Shen Chi asked, his tone neither warm nor cold.

As his gaze swept over her, Jiang Zhilan shuddered, her eyes filled with panic and unease. Although she didn’t have many dealings with Shen Chi, there were many things only she knew in her heart.

Shen Chi slowly walked toward her, each step carrying an oppressive aura.

“Achi,” Jiang Zhilan called out to him, her complexion unnatural, “you’ve brought me here for many days now, what… what do you want to do?”

“Where is Bai Man?” Shen Chi demanded.

“Manman… I don’t know, I haven’t seen her for a long time. You know what she’s like, she doesn’t listen to me,” Jiang Zhilan said.

She truly did not know where Bai Man had gone. Bai Man often didn’t come home, and she thought Bai Man might have gone to a friend’s place as usual.

“Do you really not know or are you pretending? Don’t lie to me!” Shen Chi said coldly.

“I truly don’t know, Achi, I really don’t control her much,” Jiang Zhilan shook her head.

“Don’t even think about lying in front of me.”

“Of course, I know…” Jiang Zhilan said, “but I really don’t know… What’s wrong with Manman? Did the two of you have a fight? She told me not long ago that you were good to her.”

Shen Chi scoffed but said nothing.

“Achi, how is your uncle? Is he alright? Did you do something to him?”

Over these days, Jiang Zhilan had come to understand almost everything. Bai Xuan had been so anxious to send her out of the country; it must have been because of something Shen Chi had done.

Bai Xuan, a man who had never feared anyone in C City, could have been an exception if it came to Shen Chi.

It now seemed that Shen Chi was really moving against the Bai Family…

No wonder Bai Xuan was so nervous…

“Uncle is doing as well as you, Auntie,” Shen Chi said blandly, with a slight curve of his lips, “how could I dare do anything to you? After all… you are the elders. And as the saying goes, only the elders can do whatever they please with the younger ones, right? For instance, if an elder dislikes a younger relative, they might just sell her off into the mountains…”

Shen Chi stopped there, not speaking further, his eyes firmly fixed on Jiang Zhilan.

Every move of Jiang Zhilan was clearly seen by him. He noticed a brief flash of panic in her eyes, which she immediately suppressed as if trying hard to cover something up.

“Achi, is there some misunderstanding with the Bai Family? Our families have always been on good terms. Let’s invite your parents over and talk about it together,” Jiang Zhilan suggested.

“There’s an account I only wish to settle with you alone, Auntie.” Shen Chi stood in front of Jiang Zhilan, looking at her with indifference.

Jiang Zhilan sat in her chair, trapped and without options.
