Translator: 549690339

Shen Yanrou protected her mother: “Shen Chi, have you lost your mind? After all, we are family, and yet you listen to this little witch’s nonsense? Where’s your brain? What spell has she cast on you!”

“Who’s family with you!” Xu Chaomu stood up, her fiery temper flaring again.

Thankfully, thankfully, all those years of allegiance hadn’t been for nothing. She had always stood by Shen Chi’s side, and now, at last, she saw some payoff.

He was still shielding her.

“Second sister, if you can’t bear to see her hit, then you take the slaps for her,” Shen Chi said coldly.

“You!” Shen Yanrou’s eyes widened in shock.

“Are you going to hit her or not?” Shen Chi was truly losing his patience, barking at the male servant.

The male servant closed his eyes and delivered a slap. He dared not hit too hard, his hand trembling.

But no one dared to disobey the Young Master’s orders; they all knew the consequences!

Shen Yanrou took the slap for her mother—a “smack” that landed squarely on her face!

Another slap followed immediately!

After taking both slaps, Liu Rumei was the one who felt truly distressed: “Yanrou, Yanrou, are you okay?”

“Shen Chi, I’ll never let this go!” Shen Yanrou clutched her face, fury blazing in her eyes.

“Fine by me; I’m waiting,” Shen Chi returned, his lips curled into a smirk, his face impassive.

“Yanrou, let’s go! A bunch of lunatics!” Liu Rumei helped Shen Yanrou leave the living room.

Suddenly, the living room grew even quieter; not a sound could be heard.

Bai Man was also stunned. Shen Chi, to protect Xu Chaomu, even dared to hit Liu Rumei and Shen Yanrou?

“Mumu, are you hurt anywhere else?” Shen Chi’s tone changed, unbearably gentle.

“My face got hit,” Xu Chaomu muttered nonsense.

“Hmm? Who hit you?” Shen Chi looked over, realizing the girl had started to tell lies.

“She hit me!” Xu Chaomu pointed at Bai Man’s agent Xiaofeng.

“You’re talking nonsense; I didn’t hit you!” The agent was frightened by the scene that had just unfolded and was starting to fear this young lady.

“Shen Chi, Xiaofeng didn’t hit her,” Bai Man also spoke up for her agent.

“Sister… she did hit me! Really!” Xu Chaomu clung to Shen Chi’s arm.

It was the first time in her life she had lied with her eyes wide open, but…

today, they had bullied her first.

“Hmm, then she did hit you,” Shen Chi’s eyes were filled with boundless adoration.

“Mr. Shen, don’t listen to her nonsense, I really didn’t hit her, everyone here can testify for me!” The agent panicked; Shen Chi had just disregarded his family members, would he spare her?

“Is that so? Who wants to come out and testify?” Shen Chi’s icy gaze swept over the crowd.

No one dared to make a sound, each wishing they could sink their heads into the ground.

“You, you all saw it, didn’t you? I didn’t hit her at all!” the agent pleaded.

“Do it yourself!” Shen Chi glared at the agent.

The agent backed away, too scared to speak anymore.

Bai Man interceded for her: “Shen Chi, I’ll vouch for her, she really didn’t hit

Chaomu.”

Shen Chi was clearly very impatient, his voice rising eight degrees: “I said do it yourself, didn’t you hear?”

The agent stared in shock, then raised her arm and slapped herself across the face—a sound that made onlookers shudder!

Bai Man was too angry to speak; she covered her heart, feeling terribly suffocated.

“Are you hurt anywhere else?” Shen Chi bent down and asked Xu Chaomu.

“Oh, no more,” Xu Chaomu thought for a while and then decided to let it go. However, noticing the broken vase pieces on the ground, she looked up at Shen Chi with her large eyes and said, “Brother… I smashed the vase, and they said it was priceless.”

“Did it hurt you?”

“No, but I did smash the vase, it’s priceless!” Xu Chaomu deliberately repeated.

“If you like, I’ll bring you a few more to smash tomorrow.”

“I heard this bottle is also quite valuable,” Xu Chaomu said purposefully, pointing to the white porcelain bottle that had hit Bai Man.

The porcelain bottle had already shattered on the ground.

“Compared to you, which is more valuable?” Shen Chi raised an eyebrow.

“Of course I’m more valuable!”

“Well then, that’s settled.”

Xu Chaomu thought about it and then realized something wasn’t right; she wasn’t an object to be appraised with money, was she? Nevertheless, she found Shen Chi’s words quite comforting!

Her heart instantly swelled with joy.

Just as Xu Chaomu was feeling happy, Shen Chi caught sight of the diary on the floor.

He bent down, Xu Chaomu sensed trouble and also tried to grab it!

But the person was too quick for her, snatching it first!

After flipping through a few pages, Shen Chi understood what it was.

“Give me back my notebook!” Xu Chaomu was anxious.

Shen Chi had no intention of returning it, flipping through a few more pages.

The hint of a smile on his lips deepened more and more.

The butler also widened her eyes; she had never seen Shen Chi smile so tenderly. She rubbed her eyes, yes, Shen Chi was smiling.

Bai Man couldn’t stand it anymore, picked up her handbag from the sofa, and walked out, not even caring about the Sapphire necklace anymore.

She let out a cold laugh and left the living room. Right after, her agent and assistants followed her out.

“Xu Chaomu, you little demoness, a vixen!” she sneered coldly.

Shen Chi had not mentioned Xu Chaomu’s theft from the very beginning; he couldn’t bear to see Xu Chaomu wronged, but did that mean he could watch her being wronged?

The necklace had been clearly found in Xu Chaomu’s room!

“Miss Bai, Miss Bai, wait for me!” the agent caught up with Bai Man, “Don’t be angry; it’s not worth harming your health over.”

“Xiaofeng, I’m sorry you were wronged,” Bai Man said indifferently.

“I’m fine, the main thing is you, don’t take it too hard. Mr. Shen… probably really treats Xu Chaomu like his own sister, he’s very indulgent towards her.”

In reality, Xiaofeng couldn’t even convince herself.

“Stop consoling me, I’m not blind!”

Xiaofeng fell silent, at a loss for words to comfort Bai Man. Any woman in this situation would feel unhappy, wouldn’t they?

Meanwhile in the living room, after Bai Man’s departure, the butler told everyone to disperse and left as well.

For a moment, only Shen Chi and Xu Chaomu were left in the living room.

“Brother… give me back my notebook,” Xu Chaomu murmured.

Muttering to herself, she attempted to snatch the diary back from Shen Chi. She threw herself onto him, and as Shen Chi withheld it, she stretched out her arms trying to reach it.

Shen Chi raised an eyebrow: “I’ve already seen what you wrote.”

“What did you see, stop pretending it’s real. It’s just for fun, don’t take it seriously; you lose if you take it seriously,” Xu Chaomu murmured.

Having said that, she tried again to snatch her notebook.

After a bit of tugging, still unable to get it, Shen Chi glanced at the diary a few more times before closing it, his gaze deepening. He stared at Xu Chaomu, fixated on her.

“Why are you staring at me like that? The parts where I curse you… just pretend you didn’t see them…” Xu Chaomu felt uneasy under his gaze..
