Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Liar, This Little Swindler Chapter 983: Chapter 983: Liar, This Little Swindler Although Shen Chi had returned after three days, Xu Chaomu was truly upset, and she had seen it all.
The butler, Ling, sighed and left the place.
“Butler Ling, soone has co outside and they’re looking for you,” a servant ran over and said.
“Who is it?”
“It seems to be a servant from the lady’s side.”
“The lady? Which lady?”
“Madam Zhou.”
Zhou Ran? Butler Ling hurried out imdiately.
At the front door, sure enough, the young servant standing in front of the car belonged to Zhou Ran, with the setting sun casting a golden hue on the vehicle.
The young servant squinted her eyes, holding a handbag, waiting for Butler Ling to co out.
The setting sun shone on her, coloring her entire body in an orange glow. Upon seeing Butler Ling, she approached him directly.
“Butler Ling, these dumplings were handmade by the lady, and she asked to bring them to the young master,” the servant handed the handbag to Butler Ling.
“Oh, thank the lady for , she is very thoughtful,” he said.
“The lady also wanted to ask… Will the young master spend New Year’s with them this year?”
“No need to ask, he won’t,” Butler Ling answered for him outright.
Over these years, Shen Chi had not spent a New Year with Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran, and this year would be no different.
“Alright…” the young servant nodded, “I’ll go back and let the lady know. However, butler, I think both the lady and the master miss the young master and want him with them. The master’s health isn’t too good, and it seems he wishes it even more.”
“Understood,” said Butler Ling, “I’ll pass on the ssage.”
As for the rest, she couldn’t promise anything.
“Well then, butler, I’ll head back now. Happy New Year.”
“Happy New Year.”
After the young servant had left, Butler Ling still held the handbag in her hand. She looked inside; there were dumplings and so pastries.
Zhou Ran was a wealthy daughter, rarely doing anything with her own hands.
It seed, over all these years, she had only seen Zhou Ran make things by hand for Shen Cexian and Shen Chi.
But Butler Ling was aware of the animosity between Zhou Ran and Xu Chaomu, which stemd from an incident thirteen years ago.
So… Butler Ling understood why Xu Chaomu left Shen Chi, but privately, she still hoped Xu Chaomu could be with Shen Chi.
Upstairs at the Shen Family ho.
Shen Chi had been pacing back and forth in his room until evening when he stood at the broad French window, watching the sunset fade away, feeling a piercing pain in his chest.
After a while, he finally made a phone call to Xiao Mo.
“Mr. Shen.”
“Any news?” Shen Chi asked somberly.
Xiao Mo could tell that Shen Chi was anxious, his tone revealing a hint of instability.
“Mr. Shen, I’m still sending people out to search, but…” Xiao Mo stopped speaking.
“Go ho for the New Year,” Shen Chi said.
“Mr. Shen, I don’t have to go back.”
“Let’s talk about these matters after the New Year.”
There was a touch of lancholy in Shen Chi’s voice as he watched the sun dip below the horizon, feeling as if his heart was sinking with it.
Xiao Mo said nothing more, simply nodding, “Alright.”
Shen Chi went downstairs to find the Shen Family house quiet, the silence oppressive. He decided to go to Ji Shengxuan’s Weiyang Club.
As he was heading to the garage, Butler Ling approached him, “Young Master, where are you going?”
“Let’s go out for a walk,” Shen Chi said indifferently.
Butler Ling didn’t dare to ask further and could only say, “Fourth Young Master, the madam just sent so dumplings and desserts she made by hand. Do you want to have them for lunch tomorrow, or…”
“Do whatever you want with them,” Shen Chi replied expressionlessly, “I won’t be coming back these next few days.”
“Ah?” Butler Ling was sowhat surprised, “Not even for New Year’s Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year?”
“Co back to keep watch over this empty house?” Shen Chi sneered coldly and, without turning his head, strode toward the garage.
Butler Ling had no words to rebut. Indeed, who else was there in the Shen Family ho now… Not only was the Shen Family ho empty, but the Waterside Pavillion was as well.
Butler Ling stopped speaking and stood still, letting Shen Chi walk to the garage.
Shen Chi went to the garage and picked out a Lamborghini. This car had been used for soone’s wedding on New Year’s Day, and Xu Chaomu even told him it looked good and that she liked it.
Liar, this little liar!
She just abandoned him, Shen Chi, and left him behind!
eting Xu Chaomu was truly the calamity of Shen Chi’s life.
Those days, she would cling to him and cajole him every day, all just to leave him! Nobody dared to ss with Shen Chi, but Xu Chaomu did.
He drove the car out of the garage, and as he thought about these things, his eyes reddened, and the corners were slightly moist.
It was already evening, with orange light draping over the car. He drove towards the sunset, taking the car far away.
He went to Ji Shengxuan’s club. He didn’t know if Ji Shengxuan was there, he just found a private room by himself and opened several bottles of wine.
Drinking was supposed to stop him from thinking about that little liar, but after a bottle, all he could see swaying before his eyes was the shadow of Xu Chaomu!
Having no choice, he called a few people to drink with him.
A few n brought several won along, each one dressed to the nines with heavy makeup.
With more people, the drinking beca more lively.
For a while, the private room was filled with swirling smoke and music so loud it was deafening.
Shen Chi also lit a cigarette and played cards with a few others.
“Boss Shen has ti to play cards with us today? Where’s your wife?” Everyone knew that Shen Chi had a wife who was beautiful and charming.
But beyond that, the others knew nothing.
“She went back to her hotown,” Shen Chi said casually.
“That’s great, Boss Shen, let’s play all night then? No one’s supervising anyway, and you rarely get a break.”
“Sure,” Shen Chi agreed.
The stress in his heart had been truly imnse for so long; it was rare that he got to have fun and stay out all night.
However, after just a few rounds, the others were a bit dumbfounded.
Shen Chi rarely played cards, so why was he winning every hand? And he wasn’t winning small amounts.
The won were especially excited, constantly sidling up to Shen Chi. They didn’t know what kind of background Shen Chi had, but they saw that he was not only wealthy but also good-looking.
One of the bolder won leaned towards Shen Chi. At first, she was rather restrained, but it wasn’t long before she lay down in Shen Chi’s arms.
Each of the other n had a woman lying on his thigh. Seeing this, the woman reached out her hand towards Shen Chi’s leg.
But, just as her fingertips barely touched Shen Chi’s pants, with a “snap,” Shen Chi tossed down the cards in his hand!
“Get lost!” Shen Chi reacted vehently, his face darkening.
The woman was imdiately scared half to death, in her eyes, weren’t all n the sa?
The rest of the n were also frightened and quickly stood up. They had all seen it, but had kept quiet.
“Boss Shen, calm down, please. This new girl doesn’t know the rules,” one of the n tried to diate.
The frightened woman was already sitting on the couch, her face pale.
She thought she was quite attractive too. She had seduced many n, and none had ever rejected her. How had she evoked such a violent reaction from this Boss Shen?
