Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437: How Many Secrets are Hidden?
“You wouldn’t understand.” Shen Chi was in a good mood and casually glanced at him.
“Since you are here, Mr. Shen, why not join for a drink? It’s the sa whether you take a sip or a bottle, you might as well drink all night.”
“Do you think I’m the kind of degenerate person like you?” Shen Chi’s piercing gaze fixed on him.
“Likely…”
Xiao Mo was a bit drunk and blurted it out.
“Everyone is getting bolder.” There was a twitch in Shen Chi’s smile.
Xiao Mo laughed, “Don’t rember who used to drag to drink everyday; drank until he got gastrorrhagia, still drank, and even when hospitalized, never gave up, truly persistent.”
“Who?” Shen Chi asked knowingly, just to see if Xiao Mo still had the guts to continue.
However, he underestimated the bravery of a drunk man.
“Who else, Mr. Shen, it was you.”
Shen Chi indifferently said, “You can forget about the bonus for the second half of the year.”
“Don’t, I still need to provide for my family.” Xiao Mo, half-drunk, narrowed his eyes at Shen Chi and patted him on the shoulder.
“What family do you have to provide for, you singleton? I’ll just feed you dog food every day, would you like that?” Shen Chi teased him.
“The dog food you feed will one day be returned back to you.”
“Too late, I already have a family and two kids,” Shen Chi said.
Xiao Mo suddenly felt a bit despondent, the sa age, yet why is there such a big difference.
The gloomy Xiao Mo could only drink a few more sips of wine and ignored Shen Chi.
“Xiao Mo, let remind you, tomorrow morning at nine there’s an internal eting, ten o’clock you agreed to discuss business with President Ye, and at half past eleven, you have a al appointnt with President Zhao, tomorrow…”
“Can I resign?” Xiao Mo held his forehead, his head splitting with pain.
“Sure, give your resignation letter now, you don’t have to co in tomorrow.”
“So ruthless.” Xiao Mo glanced at him.
“Compared to soone who hid my wife and son away, this is nothing.” Shen Chi looked at Xiao Mo with a smile.
Xiao Mo trembled, Shen Chi’s smile was cutting, he truly bears a grudge.
He had even gone to South Africa for advanced training, and that still wasn’t enough.
“Tonight I’ll accompany you for a drink, but starting from tomorrow, you better work seriously,” Shen Chi patted his shoulder.
Xiao Mo smirked, glanced at Shen Chi, and poured him so liquor.
Shen Chi could clearly understand Xiao Mo’s little tricks; after all, he had been through similar himself.
They beca very good brothers precisely because they shared similarities in many ways, right?
Drinking, drinking, Shen Chi hooked his arm around his shoulder and said, “Mr. Xiao, I heard you’ve been quite generous recently.”
“What.” Xiao Mo was too drunk and couldn’t understand Shen Chi’s aning.
“The chain hotel project in A City’s branch office, didn’t secure it?” Shen Chi looked aningfully at Xiao Mo, he was not drunk, “Heard it was taken by our competitor, Song family?”
Xiao Mo sobered up a bit, even such a small deal, Shen Chi would personally inquire about.
“The other party chose the Song family because they are a local enterprise and understand the area better, so they didn’t accept our cooperation proposal.” Xiao Mo said.
“Looks like you’re not drunk,” Shen Chi narrowed his eyes at Xiao Mo, who still knew how to lie.
However, Shen Chi did not expose Xiao Mo, he was just curious as to why Xiao Mo did this…
This deal was practically handed over to the Song family.
Shen Chi’s information wasn’t less than Xiao Mo’s; he long knew that Chuqing’s father might run into trouble. However, he wasn’t interested.
What he cared about the most now was where Bai Man was, how many secrets were hidden behind the truth from seventeen years ago…
Bai Man was like a ticking ti bomb that could threaten Xu Chaomu and their child’s safety at any ti.
Until this matter is resolved, Shen Chi won’t be at ease.
When handing this matter over to Xiao Mo, he was thinking about how to lure Bai Man out.
Bai Man had fallen for his tricks many tis before, probably already having sharp eyes.
Seeing Shen Chi remain silent, Xiao Mo drank a few more glasses by himself.
Shen Chi didn’t drink anymore, he lit a cigarette and pondered.
The dim lights in the private room and the swirling smoke made it seem like a fairyland in the clouds.
The dim yellow light cast on Shen Chi’s distinct profile, adding a few more shades of coldness and gloom to his complexion.
That night, Xiao Mo was determined to get drunk.
Xiao Mo often accompanied Shen Chi to social engagents and had a good tolerance for alcohol. Thus, when a pile of ssy bottles appeared on the table and on the floor, Xiao Mo finally fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Mo also had a good drunken deanor, not speaking a word after getting drunk, just frowning and leaning on the sofa.
Shen Chi wasn’t drunk; he called the waiter over to clean up the private room and also had soone throw a blanket over Xiao Mo.
After doing all this, Shen Chi drove back to the Shen Family ho.
Xu Chaomu woke up in the middle of the night, feeling around but couldn’t find Shen Chi, and with aches in her stomach, she felt sowhat angry.
In a daze, she called Shen Chi: “Where are you…?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Why aren’t you by my side?” Xu Chaomu said angrily, “I called the servants, they said you went out at night.”
She didn’t even turn on the light, the baby in her belly kicking her repeatedly.
“I’ll be ho soon.” Shen Chi stepped on the accelerator.
Xu Chaomu angrily threw her phone aside, covered herself with the blanket, feeling a bit moody.
Less than ten minutes later, Shen Chi arrived, he parked the car in the courtyard and rushed upstairs.
“Don’t turn on the light.” Xu Chaomu, hearing the sound of him opening the door, said gruffly.
Shen Chi didn’t turn on the light and walked to her bedside. Through the blanket, he wrapped his arms around her waist and softly asked, “Are you angry?”
“Did you drink again? And smoked? Did you just co back from so woman’s place?”
“I just had a drink with Xiao Mo, and last I checked, he’s not a woman, right?”
“Then keep drinking, why co back? You are not welco here.”
Shen Chi, hearing Xu Chaomu’s struggle in her voice, touched her forehead and noticed it was covered in sweat.
He turned on the light, placed his hand on her stomach, and gently rubbed, asking, “Does it hurt a lot?”
Xu Chaomu didn’t speak anymore, it really hurt, she didn’t even have the energy to speak, feeling weak all over.
“Sorry, I didn’t tell you before leaving,” Shen Chi said apologetically, sitting beside the bed, and carefully pulled her into his arms.
Xu Chaomu rarely got this angry, she stopped talking and just disdainfully pushed Shen Chi away.
Shen Chi’s hands tenderly stroked her belly, his movents gentle and full of adoration.
“I’m fine, you can go back out and drink if you want,” Xu Chaomu pushed him, speaking blandly.
However, she couldn’t push him away and just frowned.
“I was wrong…” Shen Chi apologized, “punish any way you want.”
Shen Chi didn’t explain further; him going out to drink was the truth.
“How dare I punish you, let go.” Xu Chaomu opened her eyes and gave him a look.
“When you get angry, you’re still like that feisty little wildcat from before.” Shen Chi lowered his head, smiled, and placed a light kiss on her forehead.
