Chapter 719: Chapter 719: When you get married, you really need to keep your eyes wide open
Xu Chaomu chose to ignore everything else and carefully read the news.
Indeed, she was also fairly certain it was Jian Sisi.
Jian Sisi had been killed?
After she finished reading, she threw the newspaper down and ran to a secluded corner to make a phone call to Xiao Mo.
“Secretary Xiao.”
“Miss Xu, what’s the matter?” Xiao Mo replied, taking his ti.
He was handling so docunts; with Shen Chi not around, many things were left for him to do.
“I just saw the newspaper, Sisi is dead?” Xu Chaomu asked, a bit surprised.
She had not t Jian Sisi many tis and the impression Jian Sisi left on her wasn’t good, but her sudden death still shocked her.
“Yes,” Xiao Mo said nonchalantly, “She accidentally fell into the water.”
“It wasn’t murder?”
“No.”
“How did she accidentally fall in?”
“She was ntally unstable.”
Xu Chaomu felt exasperated listening to Xiao Mo speak. Why was he just like Shen Chi, not saying much unless asked?
“Does Shen Chi know?”
“I think, Mr. Shen might know.”
“Right, wasn’t Sisi pregnant before? Do you know whose child it was?” Xu Chaomu asked.
Shen Chi had told her, but she still wanted to ask Xiao Mo.
“Her boyfriend’s.”
“I understand,” Xu Chaomu composed herself.
“Hmm, Miss Xu, if you have other questions, you can call again,” Xiao Mo offered politely.
“You’re busy,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently and hung up the phone.
All morning, Xu Chaomu thought about Jian Sisi’s death. Even though it was an accident, she couldn’t help but feel reflective.
However, Jian Sisi was too malicious and scheming, so her death wasn’t really pitiable.
That night in Paris, she dared to deceive Shen Chi, carrying her boyfriend’s child and claiming it was Shen Chi’s.
That woman’s daring was truly great.
From the videos she had seen, she could tell Jian Sisi was very calculating, and her aim wasn’t as simple as just money.
Indeed, in C City, countless won wanted to climb into Shen Chi’s bed and beco Mrs. Shen.
So did she count as one who got the moon first near the water tower?
She chuckled to herself; she also disliked Shen Chi when she was ten years old.
After all, he would yell at her from ti to ti, occasionally refused to let her eat, frequently called her stupid, and even tore her comic books.
At that ti, she really didn’t like Shen Chi either.
But later, she was still fooled by his face.
At this thought, she rembered the video she had lost. Who had taken it?
Her mind was a ss; she couldn’t figure it out at all.
Today, a colleague from the design departnt was celebrating a birthday, and Xu Chaomu joined them at the hotel.
This was her first departntal dinner since she joined, and most people were present; they had dinner together and went singing afterward.
Unfortunately, Xu Chaomu couldn’t drink alcohol. She watched them drink joyously and wanted to join.
“Xiaoxu, why didn’t you bring your husband along?” soone asked.
“My husband is on a business trip,” Xu Chaomu smiled.
“Oh, on a trip, to which city?” soone asked with concern.
“To Paris,” Xu Chaomu bluffed.
“Oh, that’s quite far. How many days will he be gone?”
“Ten days to half a month. He’ll co back once he finishes his work,” Xu Chaomu smiled again.
“That’s really tough, not being able to accompany his pregnant wife, sigh,” Sister Chen sighed.
“He’s busy earning milk money for the baby,” Xu Chaomu joked.
“No wonder they say poverty brings a hundred woes to a couple; when marrying, one really must choose carefully,” soone reflected. “Xiaoxu, I’m not talking about you, don’t take it to heart.”
Xu Chaomu shook her head: “No worries.”
What does it have to do with her? Her husband isn’t poor.
But, hiding it like this, is it a bit dishonest? If one day they all know Shen Chi is her husband, will she be beaten to death?
Especially since so people with an overly good opinion of themselves are flaunting their wealth and husbands in front of her…
“Xiaoxu, you should eat more. You can’t get such good food at ho, eating more is good for the baby,” soone said considerately.
Xu Chaomu held her forehead, maybe she exaggerated a bit? But it didn’t seem like she had.
Why did everyone treat her as if she ca from a slum?
Isn’t it just so delicacies? She often eats them at ho.
But if they insist she eat, she might as well tuck in. Since she wasn’t drinking, she might as well eat her fill.
During the al, other colleagues chatted and urged each other to drink on the side while she put her head down and ate.
After the al, so male colleagues were quite drunk and rambled on.
One of them even sat down next to Xu Chaomu and flirted, “Miss Xu, you’re so beautiful. If I confessed my love to you, would you agree?”
Xu Chaomu quickly shook her head: “I have a husband.”
“Is your husband as handso as ? As rich as ? As capable as ?” The man was drunk.
Xu Chaomu shook her head again: “No.”
“There you have it, if I confess to you, you’ll agree,” he said.
“You’re drunk, sober up!”
After that, Xu Chaomu grabbed a cup of white coconut juice from the table and dumped it over his face.
If she told Shen Chi, no, if she just told Xiao Mo, this colleague wouldn’t be able to keep working at Shen Group.
But issues she could resolve herself, she preferred to handle on her own.
Shen Chi was still in Washington, and she didn’t want to trouble him.
As soon as she splashed the drink, the man sobered up a bit, and others covered their mouths in shock.
“Xiaoxu, he was just making a joke; how could you splash a drink on a colleague without saying a word?” soone said.
“I was just joking too, right?” Xu Chaomu eyed the man.
“Yes… yes… I like it,” the male colleague wiped the drink from his face.
“You guys have fun, I’m going ho. Have a good ti, next ti it’s on ,” Xu Chaomu waved goodbye to everyone.
Everyone nodded and let her go.
But as soon as she left, everyone started to gossip.
“I guess she got upset because of what we said.”
“Xiaolin, it’s your fault, saying that poverty brings a hundred woes to a couple. Of course, she’s upset when she hears that,” soone complained.
“I was just telling it as it is. Her husband got married and doesn’t even have a wedding house, still renting; how can they live like that?”
“Living in poverty is still living; you all just stop worrying needlessly, Xiaoxu got upset.”
“Yeah, we shouldn’t say such things next ti.”
Then the drunk male colleague mumbled deliriously, “If the family’s poor, she should just be with , I’m not poor.”
“Wake up! Xu Chaomu has another mouth to feed in her belly, you want to be a daddy?”
“It’s fine to be a daddy, what’s wrong with that? Who says Xu Chaomu is so beautiful.”
“Right, right,” a female colleague lowered her voice, “Speaking of beauty, I think a lot of people must be pursuing Xu Chaomu, right?”
“Definitely. Didn’t soone send roses last ti? I bet it definitely wasn’t her husband who sent them.”
