Translator: 549690339

The room fell silent, with everyone wearing different expressions.

Shen Yanrou, however, sneered, “We were just conducting a routine search, it’s not like we only searched your room. Besides, the Shen Family kindly provided you with a room. If the Shen Family isn’t in the mood to harbor idlers, we could have you thrown out right now! Who are you to scream and shout here? What do you think you are!”

Shen Yanrou had been holding back these words for a long time, and today they all came pouring out, making her feel much better!

If she didn’t show her fire, would the servants dare to bully her in the future?

With her personality, she would never allow anyone to bully her!

If she was angry, she had to lash out; if she was furious, she had to vent! It wasn’t her first day disliking Xu Chaomu.

A girl picked up from an orphanage, why should she be able to live in the main house, while their whole family could only live in the west wing?

After holding in for eight years, it wouldn’t be long before she’d claim everything back, with interest!

“And what are you? If it weren’t for your mother playing homewrecker and driving out Aunt Zhou, would you be sitting here today?” Xu Chaomu was fuming.

On impulse, she grabbed a cup of boiling water from the table and threw it!

“Ah! Xu Chaomu, you, you actually dare to splash me with boiling water!” Shen Yanrou’s face turned dark.

She hurriedly fumbled around for tissues, the scalding water causing immense pain on her body.

“Second Miss!” “Yanrou!” “Are you alright, Second Miss?” “Second Miss, wipe it off quickly!”

All the servants in the room rushed to Shen Yanrou’s side, some fetching tissues and others looking for towels.

This was freshly boiled water; getting splashed with it was no joke!

Shen Yanrou had never been so embarrassed before. She was a director at the company, and at home, she was the second Miss. And now, a wild girl had dared to splash her with boiling water!

Bai Man had been very calm throughout, but even she lost her composure a bit at this scene.

Before coming to the Shen Family, she didn’t know Xu Chaomu was such an unruly wild girl!

Her assistants and agents rushed to protect her. fearing that the girl named Xu Chaomu would splash Bai Man with boiling water, too.

“Xu Chaomu, you dare splash my daughter with boiling water!”

Liu Rumei’s face seethed with ferocity, veins popping at the corners of her eyes. She threw down the jewelry box and slapped Xu Chaomu across the face!

Xu Chaomu couldn’t dodge in time. Just as she was about to receive an undeserved slap, Butler Ling pulled Xu Chaomu away.

The slap missed its mark, but Liu Rumei’s long nails still grazed Xu Chaomu’s neck!

Suddenly, three vicious scratches appeared on the snowy white skin of her neck!

Blood flowed out!

“Ouch, ouch, ouch…” Xu Chaomu covered her neck.

Unlike Shen Yanrou, when Xu Chaomu cried out in pain, not a single person came to her.

Butler Ling quickly grabbed a wet wipe to help Xu Chaomu clean her neck.

The nail scratch was as painful as a knife cut, and the wound stung unbearably with every touch of water.

“Hiss—” Xu Chaomu gasped in pain from the sting.

But thankfully there were no serious issues, and after Butler Ling wiped it a couple of times, the bleeding stopped.

It just looked terrible, too unsightly.

The living room instantly descended into chaos, and even Bai Man’s agent couldn’t stand it any longer. Was this the most distinguished Shen Family in C City?

“Quickly go find some burn ointment!” In the midst of the crowd, Shen Yanrou roared furiously.

Immediately, servants went to look for ointment.

As Xu Chaomu covered her neck preparing to go upstairs, Bai Man stopped her.

No matter how chaotic it was elsewhere, Bai Man remained composed throughout. There was a touch of arrogance on her powdered face, but compared to Shen Yanrou and her daughter, she was much more composed.

“Wait, I have something to ask you,” Bai Man said, looking at Xu Chaomu. “You want to ask why I would steal the necklace?” Xu Chaomu said disdainfully.

“Yes.”

“Then I’d like to ask Miss Bai, why did you enter my room without my permission?”

“We said it was a routine search, and it wasn’t just your room!” Bai Man’s agent couldn’t help but speak up.

“Really? Was the fourth brother’s room searched, too?”

The agent quickly said, “Of course, we wouldn’t search the Fourth Young

Master’s room; the necklace was originally a gift from him to Miss Bail”

“So whose rooms did you actually search?”

Xu Chaomu wasn’t afraid of them; the worst that could happen was being kicked out of the Shen Family, that’s all!

She was, after all, a little rascal, fearless of both heaven and earth!

“That’s not the point. The point is that we found this necklace in your room, ” Bai Man said coldly, looking at Xu Chaomu.

“Miss Bai, I’m telling you, no matter how you found this necklace in my room, it has nothing to do with me!”

Xu Chaomu glanced at Bai Man and turned her head away.

Why should she be framed for something she didn’t do?

Orphaned and without parents, is she to be wrongfully accused just like that? She didn’t understand such reasoning.

“Chaomu, this seems hard to explain away. My necklace went missing and was found in your room; you owe me an explanation,” Bai Man continued to block her way.

“I said it has nothing to do with me!” Xu Chaomu raised her voice, and everyone in the room heard it.

Normally, these servants didn’t take Xu Chaomu seriously because of her age. Now, Xu Chaomu actually dared to stand up to Miss Bai!

Who was Miss Bai? The fiancée of the Fourth Young Master of the Shen Family, the only daughter of the Bai Family, a leading lady in the entertainment industry.

And Xu Chaomu? Merely an orphan, a wild girl picked up from an orphanage.

Because of Xu Chaomu’s outcry, everyone was stunned for a few seconds. In their eyes, Miss Bai was a valued guest of the Shen Family.

“Please show some respect to our Miss Bai!” Bai Man’s agent warned Xu Chaomu.

“It was you who disrespected me first, so why should I respect you?” Xu Chaomu retorted confidently.

She pushed Bai Man’s hand away and strode upstairs without looking back. Although Bai Man was angry, she was after all the daughter of the Bai Family, and wouldn’t behave in an unseemly manner.

Downstairs was in total disarray, while Xu Chaomu walked up the spiral staircase alone, leaving everyone with her calm silhouette.

In fact, her calmness was all an act, okay?

Actually, she really wanted to cry, didn’t she?

But even so, she held her head high and composedly walked to her room.

Yet, the moment she pushed open her door, all semblance of calm and composure transformed into blazing fury!

“Who turned my room into this mess?!”

Xu Chaomu yelled out and quickly ran back to the stairway, looking down at everyone present in the living room with an air of superiority.

Her room was in shambles, a complete mess. Books, blankets, clothes, accessories… scattered all over the floor, all mixed up, a sight for sore eves.

Blankets and pillows were thrown on the floor, clothes had fallen off hangers, and even her favorite hair clips were broken. The pencil holder had tipped over, and her colored pencils for drawing were strewn all about, everywhere!

Even the small box she had locked was smashed open, and its contents were in disarray, scattered everywhere!

There were diaries, letters, little notes… all the little secrets of a young girl.

These things were her treasures, always locked away in the box, unknown to anyone else..
