If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 793: Chapter 793: Regardless of Wealth or Poverty, High or Low Status, She Loves Him
 

Xu Chaomu raised her head, her eyes wide as she looked at him, filled with tenderness.

He was her everything, betraying him was the same as betraying herself.

She told him firmly, “Fourth Brother, I would, of course, never betray you.”

Hearing her answer, Shen Chi curled his lips into a slight smile; he knew it.

“Achi, don’t forget, she hates you,” Zhou Ran said urgently.

Her heart was burning with impatience, just like Shen Cexian. None of them had expected Shen Chi to hand over the Group to Xu Chaomu, an outsider.

“Achi,” Zhou Ran said, “if you give the Group to her, do you know if she will still love you in the future? Do you know what she once told me? She said that if one day, she would gather evidence to send me to prison.”

Zhou Ran’s tone became much calmer, but it was filled with anger.

Shen Chi lowered his head, glancing at Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu’s heart skipped a beat, and without denying it, she said indifferently, “Fourth Brother, I did say that.”

Back in the hospital room, when she faced Zhou Ran and Shen Cexian alone, she had said it.

And not just that, she had said much more that day.

She was timid, her heart could be soft, but that didn’t mean she would submit unconditionally.

Xu Chaomu thought that Shen Chi was going to be angry, because he fell silent.

“With that temperament of hers, she simply won’t listen to you,” Zhou Ran tried to persuade Shen Chi with persistence and earnestness, “Achi, don’t act rashly. Your father left the Group to you; you just need to sign your name and all will be well. Why must you have her sign, to give her the Group?”

At that moment, Shen Chi slowly spoke, “When I make a decision, no one can change it.”

After saying this, he took out a pen and flipped to the place where a signature was needed.

“Achi, don’t do this!” Zhou Ran tried to grab it away.

Shen Cexian too got off the sickbed, but none were as swift as Shen Chi.

Just when Xu Chaomu herself was stupified, Shen Chi had already written down three words: “Xu Chaomu.”

In an instant, the hospital room fell eerily silent!

Shen Chi’s handwriting was beautiful, and even when writing Xu Chaomu’s name it was beautifully executed, dynamic and forceful.

“Fourth Brother…” Xu Chaomu stood by, stunned.

Her face portrayed sheer astonishment, and her surprise matched that of Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran.

Shen Chi’s hands flipped through the pages quickly, stopping at every page that required his signature, and on each one, he signed Xu Chaomu’s name.

The document didn’t need many signatures, and soon, Shen Chi put down the pen.

The die was cast. Shen Cexian’s face bore an indefinable despair and regret.

If he had known that the Group would end up in the hands of someone not sharing their surname, he would have given it to Shen Shihan no matter what.

Shen Chi’s face showed no emotion as he gathered the pen and documents, quite impassive.

Zhou Ran shook her head, knowing that once her son had made a decision, he definitely wouldn’t change it. No matter how she persuaded, she could not sway him.

Xu Chaomu was still standing foolishly in place, having just seen Shen Chi sign so hastily, her whole person was dazed.

Shen Chi had… given her the Shen Group? And in front of Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran?

At that moment, Shen Cexian smacked the bed forcefully, his gaze icily set on Xu Chaomu, as he fiercely said, “A seductress bringing disaster!”

His eyes cold as a wolf, rather alarming, Xu Chaomu was scared into taking a small step back, her heart skipping half a beat.

Shen Chi discreetly hooked her hand, and Xu Chaomu managed to suppress the fear in her heart.

“It’s getting late. I won’t disturb Father’s rest any longer,” Shen Chi looked around the hospital room, said indifferently.

Both Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran remained silent.

After speaking, Shen Chi, carrying the folder, left the hospital room with Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu followed closely at his beckoning hand, letting him lead her.

The hospital’s exterior was much colder than inside. As soon as Xu Chaomu came out, a gust of wind blew against her face.

Only then did she realize that this was not a dream.

Bodyguards escorted them out, respectfully opening the car door for Shen Chi.

“It’s chilly outside, get in the car,” Shen Chi said to Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu was still in a daze, her face a mix of confusion and disorientation.

Shen Chi, unable to help the curl of his lips, had no choice but to carry her to the passenger seat.

The authorization documents for the Group had been securely kept by Shen Chi, tucked away in a safe and hidden place.

Once in the car, Shen Chi stepped on the gas pedal, driving away from the Luo Family Medical Group.

The car had gone quite a distance, but Xu Chaomu was still not quite back to her senses, with only the sound of music inside the car filling her ears.

The Maybach sped through the night, and after passing the Luo Family property, the scenery opened up significantly, with the city center still bustling and lively.

“Mumu,” Shen Chi called her with a steady voice.

“Huh?” Xu Chaomu turned her head.

“What are you daydreaming about?”

“Nothing…” Xu Chaomu, with her head down, twisted her hands uneasily, “Fourth Brother… I…”

“Hmm?” Shen Chi patiently awaited her next words.

“I… I was just joking before, I never thought of taking your Group for my son. Of course, I don’t want it. I really was… just joking,” Xu Chaomu lowered her head.

“I know you were joking,” Shen Chi’s lips curved slightly.

“Then why did you take it seriously…” Xu Chaomu felt somewhat guilty.

She knew he cared for her, having signed his important Group authorization documents with her name.

But she didn’t want anything from him; she just loved him.

No matter rich or poor, she loved him.

“Fourth Brother…” she suddenly looked up, her eyes rimmed red, “I don’t want anything from you, really. You don’t also think like others, do you? That I like you, cling to you, merely because I want to be Mrs. Fourth, because of your power and status…”

Shen Chi’s expression grew solemn as he silently looked out the window.

After a moment, he spoke indifferently, “If I truly thought that way, would I be worthy of your love?”

This time, it was Xu Chaomu’s turn to be silent.

Yes, he wouldn’t think that way.

“Fourth Brother… Please change the name back,” Xu Chaomu’s voice had a pleading tone, “I wouldn’t be able to manage such a big Group, it’s too much pressure for me.”

“Who said you have to manage it? Don’t flatter yourself,” Shen Chi’s lips quirked once more.

“…” Xu Chaomu looked aggrieved, she was serious.

“I’m still feeling the pressure though,” Xu Chaomu said, “Fourth Brother, please change the name back, okay? Please…”

“Are you trying to be coquettish with me?” Shen Chi looked at her.

“No,” Xu Chaomu’s face turned red, and she sat up straight.

Just now, she kind of did sound like she was being coquettish, but she, being a little ruffian, would die before admitting she was trying to charm him.

“It’s none of your business, keep doing whatever you were doing. Forget tonight’s events ever happened,” Shen Chi said.

“You’re not going to sign in secret, are you?”

“Just letting you know,” Shen Chi replied, “so you won’t be foolish enough to be threatened by this in the future.”

“So I don’t have to deal with anything?” Xu Chaomu asked curiously.
