Chapter 975: Chapter 975 Ran Away with Another Woman Chapter 975: Chapter 975 Ran Away with Another Woman After returning to his country, Shen Chi visited Xiao Mo’s home immediately.

There were only twelve days left until Chinese New Year, and Shen Chi felt a sense of melancholy; it had been a full five years since he had celebrated the festival with Xu Chaomu.

At year-end, the Shen Group was finalizing many of its projects, with the expectation that they wouldn’t be too busy after another few days.

Xiao Mo had delegated the corporate affairs and was now primarily assisting Shen Chi in managing household matters.

He knew that Shen Chi trusted him, and he would fulfill his greatest responsibility as a chief secretary, and of course, not just for Shen Chi.

When Shen Chi arrived at Xiao Mo’s house, it was already dusk.

In winter’s dusk, the sky had already darkened.

“President Shen, have some simple food, I’ll have the kitchen prepare it,” Xiao Mo suggested.

He noticed that Shen Chi looked unwell, haggard with exhaustion written all over his face.

“No need, just a cup of coffee will do,” Shen Chi said indifferently.

Xiao Mo never inquired too much into Shen Chi’s requests.

He knew that whatever Shen Chi did, he had his reasons and thoughts.

Xiao Mo brought a cup of black coffee for Shen Chi and also took one for himself.

Shen Chi’s purpose was clear to him, and sure enough, as soon as he sat down, Shen Chi inquired about Xu Chaomu.

Xiao Mo shared the progress with him, feeling that Xu Chaomu was very likely in C City.

“President Shen, I plan to start searching the entire C City from tomorrow. Of course, it won’t be a blind search. I have already developed three search plans for you to review,” Xiao Mo said as he opened his laptop.

Shen Chi gazed at the bright screen with his deep and secluded eyes and looked over the plans rigorously outlined.

“Let’s start with your plan. You can use as many resources and finances as needed,” Shen Chi said.

“President Shen, rest assured, as long as the news is still under wraps, we will definitely be the first to find Miss Xu,” Xiao Mo assured, “Miss Xu won’t be facing any personal threats.”

“Hmm.”

“President Shen, I will strive to find Miss Xu before the new year.”

“I’ll join you.”

“Alright.”

Xiao Mo knew that the current Shen Chi was completely disinterested in doing anything else.

As an observer, he was very clear about Shen Chi’s thoughts, and similarly, he was clear about Xu Chaomu’s thoughts as well.

“However, President Shen, may I make a suggestion while we look for Miss Xu?” Xiao Mo asked.

“Go ahead.”

“You might want to try resolving the conflict between yourself, Chairman Shen, and Madam Zhou,” Xiao Mo urged earnestly, his suggestion motivated entirely by their best interests.

“I will resolve it.”

“Good… President Shen, there are a few other matters I need to report to you.”

Xiao Mo sat across from Shen Chi and handed him a thick stack of folders.

The desk was piled high with various documents and papers, a veritable mountain. With the end of the year approaching, Xiao Mo had a lot of matters to deal with as well.

He first reported the Shen Group’s warehouse handling process to Shen Chi and then stacked all the documents requiring Shen Chi’s signature next to him.

Xiao Mo couldn’t help but note that Shen Chi’s absence had delayed a lot of business.

With Xu Chaomu by his side, he was an utterly negligent ruler.

…

By the time Shen Chi returned to his country, Xu Chaomu had already found a place to live in Jin City.

In the smaller city, where both prices and living costs were not high, she hadn’t spent much money to find a decent two-bedroom apartment in a residential area.

The apartment she rented obviously wasn’t as large as the Shen Family’s villa, nor as exquisite as the one at Waterside Pavilion, but she liked it.

The apartment was on the fifth floor, which was somewhat high.

She went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things at night, and a girl from across the hall saw how much stuff she had and offered to help her tidy up the room.

“Thank you,” Xu Chaomu said while she made the bed.

“Don’t mention it, you’ve already thanked me many times tonight,” the girl said.

“I still don’t know your name. Do you live across the hall?”

“My name is Xia Chuqing, the place across the hall belongs to my uncle, I’m here to spend the winter break and also to check on them. The old couple is getting on in years, heh, if they bother you with anything in the future, I hope you can be a bit more patient with them,” Xia Chuqing said with a smile.

“No problem.”

“You… your name is Xu Chaomu?” Xia Chuqing asked.

“How did you know?” Xu Chaomu laughed.

“Humph, it’s written on the title page of this notebook.”

Xu Chaomu looked and sure enough, it was. She laughed, “You have sharp eyes.”

“Alright, all tidied up now, not bad, quite clean. It’s just that it’s on the fifth floor, a bit high up,” Xia Chuqing remarked.

“Young people should walk more. But for your relatives, being older, living on the fifth floor might be a bit inconvenient.”

“It’s alright, their son is about to take them to C City. The house is already bought.”

Xu Chaomu was startled, and she became somewhat lost in thought at the mention of C City.

“What year are you in at college?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“Sophomore year.”

“So you’re only twenty?”

“Yeah, do you think I’m young? But you look younger than me.”

“Let me tell you, I’ve been married already.”

“What? Where’s your husband?” Xia Chuqing was somewhat surprised.

“Ran off with another woman,” Xu Chaomu said nonchalantly.

“…” Xia Chuqing clasped her forehead, “You’re so beautiful, and he ran off with another woman?”

Xu Chaomu poured her a cup of tea and poured herself a cup of hot water.

Xu Chaomu said casually, “Men like new things and get tired of the old, it’s normal.”

“This kind of man…” Xia Chuqing was too angry to speak, “Is that woman very wealthy? Generally, young men like rich older women. I’ve seen plenty, it lets them skip many years of hard work.”

Xia Chuqing spoke with some experience: “Women like to latch onto rich men, and men like to latch onto rich women. From my youth to now, I don’t know how many mistresses I’ve seen.”

Xu Chaomu was taken aback at first, then nodded like a pecking chicken, “Right, you’re not wrong, that woman is very rich.”

“Is she pretty old then?”

“Around forty years old.”

“That’s it!” Xia Chuqing clapped her hands, “It’s good that he’s gone, don’t be sad. If he dares to come back and bully you, come find me. I’ve dealt with countless mistresses since I was young.”

“So, don’t tell anyone else that Xu Chaomu is living here,” Xu Chaomu said.

“Mmm, I’ll mention it to my uncle and aunty as well.”

“Right, and you’re not that old, where did you get experience dealing with countless mistresses?” Xu Chaomu was curious.

“My dad’s mistresses,” Xia Chuqing said with disdain, “Rich men attract women like bees to honey, my mom couldn’t handle them all.”

Xu Chaomu suddenly understood and said “Oh,” realizing Xia Chuqing must come from a well-off family.

“My dad is also pretty good to my mom; it’s just that those women have no shame,” Xia Chuqing fumed, “always running to my dad’s office with all sorts of tricks. You haven’t seen it; they’d even hide drugs in their rings.”

“Pff, your dad must be quite charming; no wonder his daughter is so pretty,” Xu Chaomu said with a laugh.

“I like that compliment,” Xia Chuqing, holding Xu Chaomu’s arm, laughed heartily.

The two chatted for a long time; Xu Chaomu had never felt so relaxed.
