Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Is Shen the one not worthy of you? Chapter 996: Chapter 996: Is Shen the one not worthy of you? But attending such a gala was beneficial for the group’s prestige, Shen Chi weighed the pros and cons and decided to come.

The weather had gradually warmed up, and Shen Chi, who was only wearing a dark-colored shirt, stood out and attracted much attention among the crowd.

The party had not been going on for long when Xiao Mo saw many women go up to greet Shen Chi.

In such gatherings, Shen Chi was always the focus of everyone’s attention.

“President Shen, your wife isn’t here?” someone asked.

Shen Chi gave a faint smile, “She is recuperating abroad.”

“Oh, right, I forgot, Mrs. Shen is pregnant.” The person said, “Did she have a boy or a girl? Why hasn’t there been much fuss?”

Xiao Mo was quick to react, upon hearing this, he hurried over to Shen Chi and said, “President Shen, President Wang has arrived.”

Shen Chi took the opportunity to excuse himself, “Sorry, I must leave.”

About Chaomu’s situation, Shen Chi had always kept it a secret, not many people knew.

As Shen Chi was walking toward the entrance, he did not expect to see a familiar face.

Xiao Mo was also startled, it turned out to be Bai Man.

Had she returned to the country? When did she come back?

Bai Man was accompanied by a young assistant, and as soon as she entered, she greeted everyone.

“President Wang, hello.”

“President Zhou, you’re here too.”

After making her rounds of greetings, she finally noticed Shen Chi, and with a friendly smile, she said, “President Shen, hello.”

“Mhm,” Shen Chi responded indifferently and bypassed her to greet President Wang who had just come in.

Bai Man was not annoyed, but simply smiled and greeted Xiao Mo as well.

Recently, Xiao Mo had been investigating the matter of Chaomu’s premature birth, and after unraveling the intricately connected threads, he had also considered Bai Man a suspect.

Although, Bai Man hadn’t met with Shen Chi or Chaomu for the past five years and seemingly had no motive for a crime, recent evidence pointed unmistakably towards Bai Man.

Therefore, at the party, Xiao Mo paid extra attention to Bai Man.

“Miss Bai, how come you’re back? Weren’t you always in Washington?” Xiao Mo asked.

Today Bai Man was beautifully dressed, wearing a long, bejeweled, goose-yellow gown with a trailing hem and a pair of silver eight-inch heels. She had cut her hair much shorter and looked even more capable than before.

Bai Man’s face was always adorned with a smile, appearing exceptionally approachable. She was still very beautiful, and as soon as she arrived, many men came to greet her.

Moreover, Bai Man had been almost absent from C City for the past five years, and everyone was enthusiastic about catching up with her.

As soon as she appeared, she immediately became the focus of the entire party, drawing countless gazes.

Indeed, as an actress, she was gracious and composed in her speech and demeanor.

Bai Man did not immediately pay attention to Xiao Mo, not responding, but instead started conversing with a few other executives nearby.

Xiao Mo’s lips curled into a smile. It seemed Bai Man still had a bone to pick with anyone related to Shen Chi.

On one hand, Bai Man was having lively conversations with everyone, and since Xiao Mo no response, he left.

But from the conversations of others, he quickly gathered the information he wanted.

This time, Bai Man represented the Bai Family at the charity event. The Bai Family is a financial powerhouse in C City, and they planned to donate a considerable amount of money and clothing.

This was Bai Man’s first public appearance since her engagement, and everyone was quite interested in her fiance as well.

Bai Man smiled gracefully, “Xiuting has gone to attend a project ceremony. It just so happens to conflict with this banquet, so I returned to the country alone.”

“Miss Bai, how long will you be staying this time? We haven’t seen each other in a long time,” said a lady.

“After the charity donation tonight, I plan to visit a few more places for charity work, so I will stay for a longer period,” responded Bai Man, unrushed, with a smile.

“Miss Bai, do you have several charity events? The Bai Family is really generous, and you, Miss Bai, have a kind heart,” several ladies gathered around her, praising her.

“It’s habitual. Over the years, I’ve mostly been involved in charity work abroad. Since I have the chance to return home this time, I might as well do more,” said Bai Man.

“What kind of charity work have you done? A lot?”

“Nothing much, it’s insignificant compared to others. People like President Shen, they invest at least ten million into charity every year. My contribution really isn’t much.”

When Bai Man said this, she glanced at Shen Chi.

Shen Chi was chatting with a CEO and wasn’t looking at her.

“We really admire you for persisting in doing charity work. It’s not easy. Unlike us, who spend all our money on clothes and bags, I should learn from you,” they said.

“Talking about learning is a bit much, but if you have spare money, it would indeed be good to put it into charity. I’ve been to many places. Some children and elderly, as well as patients without family, are really pitiful, mainly in the slums abroad. In the country, remote and mountainous areas, you all could take a look,” continued Bai Man.

“All right, Sister Bai Man, how about I give you some money this time, and you help me donate it as well?”

“Of course, thank you all,” Bai Man replied.

“Sister Bai Man, you’re truly kind-hearted, coming back to the country specifically for charity work,” said a lady. “Mr. Gu is really lucky to be able to marry you.”

Bai Man chuckled lightly, undisturbed, “You flatter me too much.”

At this moment, a woman glanced at Shen Chi not too far away and whispered, “Miss Bai, look at President Shen, your ex-boyfriend. Don’t you think he must be full of regret?”

Bai Man looked at Shen Chi again, who was drinking with others, a trace of intoxication in his eyes.

Someone immediately agreed, “He must regret it. Miss Bai is so kindhearted; in terms of family background and talent, you are better than his current wife in every way.”

“President Shen is too outstanding; I’m not worthy of him,” Bai Man said with a smile.

“Ah, Miss Bai, you’re just too modest. In my opinion, it’s President Shen who isn’t worthy of you.”

“Indeed, indeed. The person President Shen married now, how does she compare to you, Miss Bai?”

“Exactly, we haven’t even heard of that woman’s background. She has no family heritage, no connections, and as for her looks, well, they’re just passable.”

The women all spoke on behalf of Bai Man, feeling that Shen Chi’s not getting together with her in the past was a real pity!

“I bet President Shen will regret it,” someone said.

Bai Man laughed, “Those are all things of the past.”

“Hey, Miss Bai, do you know what the background of the woman President Shen married is? Tell us about it,” someone asked. “She looks young; we don’t know what means she used.”

“That’s right, I heard that President Shen is not interested in women.”

“I’ve heard about it too. My brother sometimes does business with President Shen, and he himself would call a few women to accompany them. I heard that President Shen wouldn’t even spare them a glance; after the business is done, he just leaves.”

“Is that true or false? Such men are too rare, right? Could it be an act? On the surface he avoids women but who knows how many women he’s called to accompany him in private.”

“Exactly, with someone like President Shen, there must be no shortage of women throwing themselves at him,” said someone.
