If You Could Hear My Heart
Chapter 1150 - Chapter 1150 Chapter 1150 Because I Shen Chi Have the Final

Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Because I, Shen Chi, Have the Final Say in C City Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: Because I, Shen Chi, Have the Final Say in C City Shen Chi simply looked down at her, not giving her a chance to escape.

Jiang Zhilan had a guilty conscience; otherwise, she wouldn’t be so nervous.

At this moment, she was really restless, with countless things flashing through her mind.

“Chaomu’s incident when she was eighteen almost landed her deep in the mountains, but I am thankful, Auntie, that you spared her life,” Shen Chi slowly said, his expression growing darker, “But I suspect your original intention was to send Chaomu into the mountains so slyly, to become the bride of some bachelor there, which would be more perfect than taking her life, wouldn’t it?”

He had wanted to settle this score with Jiang Zhilan long ago but had put it aside after Chaomu left.

Jiang Zhilan’s face changed, turning ashen in an instant–the incident was six years old, and Shen Chi still remembered it!

She had always thought she did it without anyone being the wiser, and that Shen Chi, young at the time, certainly couldn’t have found out.

But unexpectedly…

Jiang Zhilan’s hands were trembling, yet she still tried to control herself: “Achi, what are you talking about? I don’t quite understand.”

“Do I need to explain in detail? It was raining that day; Uncle Cheng’s car had a blown tire on the road and didn’t reach Chaomu in time, and she was taken by your people,” said Shen Chi indifferently, “If I’m not mistaken, it was you who tampered with the tire, right?”

Jiang Zhilan could no longer recall the details from six years ago, but Shen Chi remembered them so clearly!

Jiang Zhilan was afraid, although she could not remember the details, she did remember the incident!

But at such a critical moment, how could she admit it?

A cold sweat broke out on Jiang Zhilan’s back as she murmured, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“You and your daughter have one thing in common; you never shed tears until you see the coffin,” Shen Chi said coldly.

By this time, Shen Chi’s expression was very grim and dark.

Jiang Zhilan looked at him in a panic, denying everything, shaking her head continuously: “Achi, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“What about Qi Na? Does that name ring a bell?”

Jiang Zhilan panicked again and remained silent.

“Five years later, on the first day Chaomu returned to the country, you instigated Qi Na, who didn’t have a brain, to run into Xu Chaomu. If I’m not wrong, you must have told Qi Na, it was just a life, and money could smooth everything over. And Qi Na, being brainless and easily incited, couldn’t help it, since she was infatuated with Nie Chenglang.”

Shen Chi spoke eloquently, looking at Jiang Zhilan’s face with each sentence.

By this point, Jiang Zhilan’s face was ashen, her lips pale and colorless.

“Whether it was five years ago or five years later, you never did the dirty work yourself, once you hired someone, once you incited someone else, you really played your cards well.”

“As for your motive, I think it’s quite clear, you were afraid that Xu Chaomu would take your daughter’s place as the fourth wife, weren’t you?”

Shen Chi listed her deeds, word by word, leaving Jiang Zhilan speechless.

“You can keep wriggling out of it, keep denying it,” Shen Chi continued, “Because, whether you admit it or not, you should prepare yourself to spend a lifetime in prison.”

“On what grounds? Shen Chi, you’re slandering me!” Jiang Zhilan panicked and became agitated when she heard “spend a lifetime in prison.”

“Because in C City, Shen Chi has the final say!”

Jiang Zhilan collapsed completely, and Shen Chi was right; in C City, who wouldn’t give Shen Chi face? Over all these years, the Bai Family’s steady and unscathed rise had been by keeping good relations with the Shen Family.

Now, if Shen Chi wanted to make a move against the Bai Family, it would be effortless.

“I, Shen Chi, don’t need a reason to do anything; I’m telling you all this today just to let you know, don’t think that the Bai Family has been safe and sound all these years because I, Shen Chi, knew nothing.”

“You–you hated Xu Chaomu so much back then, didn’t you?” Jiang Zhilan said in a fluster.

“When did you also learn to read my face, Shen Chi?”

“I…” Jiang Zhilan’s face was filled with regret, “I only heard from your mother that you didn’t like Xu Chaomu, and your mother also disliked her, so I thought I’d help you out by sending her away. Was there something wrong with my starting point?”

“You’re still making excuses!”

Shen Chi had a surge of anger accumulating in his belly. Back then, if he had been one step later, Xu Chaomu would have been taken away to the mountains.

The consequences… unimaginable!

Many times, he barely missed losing her, but luckily she was still fine later on…

Because of that, he needed to treasure her properly.

“I– I was just talking. Aran didn’t like Xu Chaomu either. What is there for you to like about her? She’s so shameless. If it weren’t for her, the child you have with Manman would be how many years old now!”

“Do you and Bai Xuan still think I ever liked Bai Man? Let me tell you, I’ve never liked her, not from a young age. If it hadn’t been for Bai Xuan’s arrangement with my father stating I could only inherit the corporation if I married Bai Man, do you think I would’ve ever spoken a word to Bai Man?”

Back then, he was trapped in such a dilemma. To free himself from this bind and escape from the Bai Family, he chose to go to South Africa to acquire diamond mines.

He worked very hard so he could stand confidently and so that Xu Chaomu could marry him with pride.

Just as he was about to be with her, she left him for five years.

Later on, he had everything, but she was the only thing missing.

Back in those days, his daily life was worse than death, haunted by dreams of her.

Jiang Zhilan’s face turned to panic again: “Is it because of this that you’ve broken ties with the Bai Family?”

“No, it was because I could no longer tolerate them,” said Shen Chi coldly.

The Bai Family’s actions had long since become intolerable to him.

He had said it before; he would settle these accounts one by one.

“What about your Uncle Bai? What have you done to him?”

“The same as you.”

“How can you be like this? Let us go, we can talk it out…”

“Talk about what? Do I, Shen Chi, need to compromise? As for Bai Man, I will soon find her and reunite her with you all.”

“Achi, let me speak the truth from my heart. When Xu Chaomu came back, she was already pregnant with Nie Chenglang’s child. You’re probably aware of that. I was the one who instigated Qi Na, but I did it for your own good,” Jiang Zhilan said.

“You also have the talent to twist truth into lies.” Shen Chi looked at her coldly. “Then let me tell you, her child is mine.”

“Achi… don’t deceive yourself. That child is Nie Chenglang’s, you only found her when she came back to the country.” Jiang Zhilan sneered, “No matter how smart you are, weren’t you still cuckolded by a woman, played for a fool?”

These words made Shen Chi clench his teeth, but his face remained as calm as ever.

“Don’t try to anger me; the consequences of angering me are dire.”

“I’m just saying what needs to be said.”

“I think it’s too comfortable here.” Shen Chi said dismissively, “A change of scenery, you might like it more.”

With that, Shen Chi’s lips curved into a mocking smile, his face filled with disdain and indifference.
