Chapter 883 -883 She Also Wants to Protect Her Own Mother

Xu Chaomu was somewhat reluctant to think about it anymore and just sat silently in the car waiting for Xiaogao to return.

Outside was bustling with noise, a blend of various sounds. She lowered the car window halfway to let the breeze into the vehicle.

It wasn’t cold today; the sun was lovely, and its warmth filtered through the glass, casting a gentle autumn glow on her face.

She watched quietly, and coincidentally, at the entrance to the mall was a tall Doraemon mascot waving its arms, greeting everyone. Many adorable children were taking photos with Doraemon.

Watching them, Xu Chaomu couldn’t help but smile. She took out her phone and snapped a few pictures of Doraemon.

If it weren’t for the worries in her heart tangling her like waterweeds, she might have been happier.

After taking a few photos, she turned her gaze to the children and couldn’t help but smile as she rested her chin on her hand.

It wasn’t long before Xiaogao returned, all smiles.

“Fourth Young Madam, I’ve got the phone. Sorry to have kept you waiting. The promotion today was so worth it. Usually, this phone costs at least two thousand five hundred online, but today the discount was huge. I got it for just 1988,” Xiaogao was clearly delighted.

Hearing his excitement, Xu Chaomu felt joy too and laughed, “If you saved that much, it’s a great deal. You could buy something else, like headphones or speakers if you need them.”

“No need, not at the moment. I’ve kept you waiting, Fourth Young Madam, let me take you back,” Xiaogao offered as he got into the car.

“There’s nothing to do at home. We might as well have fun here for a while. If I weren’t pregnant, I’d go for a stroll in the mall too,” Xu Chaomu suggested.

Just then, Xiaogao’s new phone rang.

Xiaogao said joyously, “I just inserted the SIM card, and I’m already getting a call. Perfect timing to test the call quality of the new phone.”

After saying that, he took out his new phone.

Xu Chaomu took a glance—it was black, with a large screen, quite pretty.

Xiaogao answered the call; he hadn’t saved any numbers yet and didn’t know who it was.

“Hello, good day,” Xiaogao greeted.

“It’s Old Cheng.”

“Hello, Uncle Cheng. I just got this new phone and haven’t saved any numbers yet,” Xiaogao explained.

“Hmm,” Old Cheng grunted, “You don’t need to wait on the phone; I’ve already picked up President Shen. Go about your business.”

“Ah? Wasn’t he supposed to arrive in C City only by evening?” Xiaogao was surprised.

Xu Chaomu, listening nearby, understood. They were talking about Shen Chi’s situation.

“The meeting ended earlier, and I only got notified when President Shen arrived at the airport,” Old Cheng informed.

“Okay, got it, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Cheng.”

“It’s nothing; I’m hanging up now.”

“Mm.”

Old Cheng ended the call, and Xiaogao put away his new phone, still excited: “The call quality is good; it was worth it.”

Xu Chaomu by his side tugged at the corner of her lips, not saying a word.

When they arrived back at the Shen residence, the car was parked in the Shen Family garage.

Upon seeing it, Xu Chaomu noticed that the black Maybach was already there. Her heart skipped a beat—Shen Chi had returned.

“Fourth Young Madam, let me help you out of the car,” a maid walked up to the vehicle.

Xu Chaomu extended her hand to her and asked nonchalantly, “Has the Fourth Young Master returned?”

“Yes, he has been back for a while.”

“I see.”

Clasping the maid’s hand, Xu Chaomu walked with her towards the living room.

Upon entering the living room, Xu Chaomu didn’t spot Shen Chi; everywhere was very quiet.

“Where’s the Fourth Young Master?” Xu Chaomu asked.

“He might be upstairs, I’m not very clear,” came the reply.

“Oh.”

Only then did Xu Chaomu release the hand of the little maid and walked upstairs alone.

She held onto the railing, moving extremely slowly. At this moment, the grand living room of the Shen Family was utterly empty.

She didn’t know if Shen Chi was in his own bedroom, so she decided to head to her room to rest first.

When she reached the door, she turned the doorknob.

But upon opening the door, she was startled, for she saw Shen Chi sitting beside the table!

Xu Chaomu stood frozen in place, momentarily forgetting how to walk.

Shen Chi was sitting at the table, in front of him her laptop was switched on! The screen was illuminated, and Shen Chi’s stern face was darkened.

“Close the door,” Shen Chi commanded in a cold voice.

His icy tone was devoid of any emotion, as if merely executing an order. At this moment, his already impassive face looked even colder and more detached.

“Oh,” Xu Chaomu closed the door, her heart pounding fiercely.

She noticed his hand, adorned with a wristwatch, resting on the mouse; he pressed a key as soon as she walked in.

The air conditioning in the room was blowing out warm air with a “whoosh” sound; Shen Chi had already taken off his dark blue suit jacket, now sitting in the room wearing only a white shirt.

The moment the door closed, Shen Chi’s piercing gaze fell upon Xu Chaomu’s face.

“During the six days I was away from home, you sure did a lot behind my back,” Shen Chi said coldly.

He sat on the chair, staring at her chilly, his tone filled with displeasure.

“What do you… mean?” Xu Chaomu didn’t understand.

“What do I mean? Next time, remember to hide your USB drive somewhere more secretive!” Shen Chi suddenly raised his voice, his face turning exceedingly grim.

Xu Chaomu jumped, and in the next second, Shen Chi pulled out the USB drive from the computer and with a “thud,” flung it forcefully at her feet!

Xu Chaomu saw it, the black USB drive she had placed in the drawer, found by Shen Chi.

That meant he must have seen the audio files on it.

Before Xu Chaomu could utter a word, Shen Chi rose to his feet!

Perhaps because of his vigorous movements, the chair scraped against the floor, making a “hiss” sound that caused Xu Chaomu’s heart to jolt.

The chair nearly toppled over, but Shen Chi had already approached her.

“Can’t let go?” Shen Chi looked at her.

He stood very close to her, and when he spoke, his hot breath brushed against her face, carrying the familiar scent of grass and trees.

However, his tone was tinged with a hint of mockery.

“No, Shen Chi, can you not talk to me like this…”

“How am I talking to you? Is my attitude not good enough? Huh?” Shen Chi looked at her.

Clearly, Shen Chi was holding back a surge of rage at this moment, but he had not yet let it burst forth.

Xu Chaomu looked at him and felt a sense of unfamiliarity.

She said calmly, “I can’t let go of what happened thirteen years ago, is there a problem with that? Deep-seated hatred, premeditated murder, how do you expect me to forget? Shen Chi, if it had been my mother who killed your mother thirteen years ago, what would you do? Would you be able to let go easily?”

Xu Chaomu didn’t elaborate too much; she was simply stating a universally recognized sentiment.

He protected his mother, and she, likewise, wanted to shield her own.

“So, you’ve started gathering evidence?” Shen Chi scoffed.
