Xiao Zhao had no idea what Mrs. Shi had said to Shi Che, but Shi Che, who was already emanating a chill, suddenly exhibited an even more terrifying frostiness. Xiao Zhao couldn’t help but gasp and instinctively took several steps back, fearing the repercussions of his fury.
"Don’t go looking for her."
"Fine, I’m heading back now."
Shi Che’s thin lips parted slightly as he spoke in a deep voice. After uttering those two sentences, he abruptly cut off the call and violently smashed his phone to the ground.
Xiao Zhao watched, his spine tingling with cold sweat at the sight of Shi Che’s grim face. What... what had the old Madam said to President Shi to make him so angry?
As Xiao Zhao was uneasily pondering this, Shi Che’s voice rang out again, "Get the car ready."
Caught up in his thoughts, Xiao Zhao was a beat slow to respond until Shi Che’s icy gaze swept over him. His heart skipped a beat in fright, and he swiftly ca to his senses, nodding vigorously, "Yes, I’ll take care of it imdiately."
Right away, he turned and left the room, moving as if greased, and in an instant, he disappeared from Shi Che’s view.
-
The car slowly pulled into the old manor, ca to a stop, and a servant stepped forward respectfully to open the door. Shi Che’s long legs stretched out as he descended from the vehicle and walked towards the main house.
The atmosphere in the hall was extrely heavy. Stepping in, one could feel the low pressure enveloping the space. Shi Che walked in with an expressionless face, made his way to the sofa, and sat down, quietly beginning, "Mother."
Mrs. Shi still bore her dignified and luxurious deanor, but now, whether due to extre anger or sothing else, her complexion looked terrible, diminishing her usual elegance by half.
Mrs. Shi looked up at Shi Che, her brows furrowing tightly. Her voice carried a surge of anger as she asked, "Did Ling Chuxia really terminate her pregnancy?"
Shi Che’s eyelids lifted slightly as he glanced at Mrs. Shi, staying silent. Then his gaze slowly swept toward Housekeeper Hua, who was standing next to Mrs. Shi, his dark eyes narrowing intensely.
Housekeeper Hua involuntarily lowered her head, hands clasped in front of her, trying to keep her gaze away.
During her ti at the villa, she had tried her best not to report too clearly to Mrs. Shi about Shi Che and Ling Chuxia’s situation. Whatever could be withheld, she avoided ntioning. Yet with sothing as significant as the child, not to ntion the divorce, she couldn’t keep silent.
"You don’t need to look at Housekeeper Hua! Such a big issue, and you’ve not said a word to . What, do you plan to hide it from for the rest of your life?"
Mrs. Shi was so angry her voice rose, and she set her teacup down on the table with a thud. Her eyes widened with rising fury, "Our Shi Family’s child – she, Ling Chuxia, dared... dared to abort it. She must have the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"
Shi Che’s dark eyes were deep and still, revealing no change in his deanor, inscrutable. His voice remained faint, without any undulation, "Mother, don’t concern yourself with this matter."
"Don’t concern myself? It is the Shi Family’s child, and you’re telling not to care?"
Shi Che gazed faintly at Mrs. Shi, his eyes deep and indifferent, impassive. Even without uttering a word, he conveyed an indisputable authority.
Mrs. Shi’s complexion grew uglier, and she felt choked by the anger in her chest, breathing heavily. She wanted to say sothing, but upon seeing Shi Che’s expressionless face, she ultimately took a deep breath and managed to suppress her rage for the mont, "Fine, fine. I won’t seek out Ling Chuxia. I won’t touch her. As for this child, consider it as having no fate with our Shi Family."
