“Miss Bai, you’re too forgiving. You didn’t mind when the necklace was stolen, and now you also don’t mind getting hit out of nowhere, sigh.” The agent sighed.

Xu Chaomu was so frustrated her teeth itched, turning black into white and still playing the good guy.

She couldn’t hold back her anger and burst out, “How many times do I have to say it before you listen? The necklace has nothing to do with me!”

“Miss Xu, there’s no need to quibble. So many eyes saw it being found in your room, if you keep saying it has nothing to do with you, that’s just being deceitful. At such a young age, lying is not a good thing,” the agent said.

“Then if I secretly place a book in Miss Bai’s room tomorrow, does that mean Miss Bai stole my things?” Xu Chaomu defiantly tilted her face up, refusing to give in.

“Don’t talk nonsense, that’s framing!” The agent’s face flushed red as he debated with Xu Chaomu, and he couldn’t believe he couldn’t out-talk a eighteen-year-old girl!

“Then how can you prove you’re not framing me?”

“You’re the one turning things upside down. If you’re not guilty, just stay here, we’ll wait for Fourth Young Master Shen to come back!” the agent replied.

“I’ve arranged to go hiking with my classmates, I don’t have time to keep you company,” Xu Chaomu was not to be fooled.

Provocation, useless!

She wouldn’t dare to wait for Shen Chi to come back!

If Shen Chi came back, would she even have a chance to live?!

She had a bright future ahead, grand aspirations, she wasn’t ready to die yet!

Just as Xu Chaomu was about to head upstairs with a cold snort, there was a “bang” as the door to the living room was kicked open!

Cold! Domineering! Brutal!

Along with a gust of cold wind came the chilling presence of the grim reaper!

Everyone was taken aback and quickly looked up; sure enough, Fourth Young Master Shen had returned…

His presence was truly formidable.

Shen Chi, with his hands shoved in his pockets, walked towards the center of the living room, his sharp eagle-like eyes emitting an icy glare like obsidian. His thin lips pursed, his facial contours rigid.

It’s over, it’s all over…

Xu Chaomu’s legs went weak with fear, nearly collapsing without a trace of dignity.

Damn, this man is terrifying.

She had already envisioned a hundred and eight ways to die—lying down, standing up, hanging, slanted, beaten to death with a stick, scalded to death by boiling water, mauled to death by Dabai…

The Shen Chi in front of her was like the existence of the grim reaper!

The previously noisy living room suddenly fell into dead silence, no one daring to make a sound, their expressions varied.

The younger maids lowered their heads, hiding away early, whilst the older ones looked confused and helpless.

Shen Yanrou was applying burn ointment as if nothing else mattered, and Liu Rumei swept her gaze across the room. Bai Man’s aides stood respectfully in place, and the once chattering agent suddenly shut up.

Shen Chi stood in the middle of the living room, right next to the shattered pieces of the vase.

He glanced around the room with a cold stare, causing the temperature to plummet.

Especially when his gaze lingered on Xu Chaomu, she felt a chill go through her!

Bai Man, who had been sitting on the couch, struggled to stand up when she saw Shen Chi arrive.

She gave a slight smile, her face sweet and tender, “You’re back.”

Her voice was soft, sounding particularly clear and pleasant in the spacious living room, like the tinkle of a spring. She walked over to Shen Chi’s side, her agent quickly supporting her.

“What’s all this about!” Shen Chi’s voice was low and forceful.

Xu Chaomu stood not far from Shen Chi, using her peripheral vision to look around—where could she slip away…

Bai Man’s agent was about to speak, but Bai Man seemed to pinch her.

Bai Man smoothed her cheongsam shawl and smiled, “It’s nothing serious, just messing around. I feel bad for making you rush back.”

“Butler Ling, you tell me!” Shen Chi’s sharp eyes fixed on Butler Ling.

Butler Ling hesitated for a long while, not knowing what to say. Since Miss Bai was Shen Chi’s fiancée, it was better not to offend her.

“Fourth Young Master… this… this…”

“Stop hesitating, just spit it out!”

“Yes… Fourth Young Master,” Butler Ling spoke tentatively, “After Miss Bai went to the set, she discovered that the sapphire necklace you gave her was missing, so she came back to search for it. It turned out that the necklace was found in Miss Xu’s room. When Miss Xu came back, she refused to admit it and ended up burning Miss Second Younger Sister, then… smashed this vase. When Miss Bai’s agent was trying to break up the fight, Miss Xu accidentally threw a bottle that hit Miss Bai.”

Butler Ling felt he had been quite objective, simply recounting the facts.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chaomu became anxious and protested loudly while holding her diary, “I didn’t steal Miss Bail s necklace, and I don’t give a damn about her necklace! ”

“Shut up!” Shen Chi coldly reprimanded, his gaze cutting through her.

Xu Chaomu stopped in her tracks, meeting his fierce, indifferent gaze, indignation welling up within her.

Her hands clutched her diary tightly, wishing she could dig her nails into it.

Bai Man walked over and stood beside him, “Don’t be angry, it’s my fault for not handling this properly. Honestly, I didn’t think it was a big deal. If Chaomu likes the necklace, I might as well give it to her. Please stop being angry, will you?”

Everybody could see that Shen Chi’s stance was all too clear, obviously siding with Miss Bai.

Bai Man’s agent took the opportunity to say, “President Shen… Miss Bai has already been wronged, the necklace was stolen for no reason, and she was hit. She’s not even angry, and I feel indignant on her behalf.” “Xiaofeng, stop talking,” Bai Man chided.

Shen Chi took a few steps forward, right up to Xu Chaomu.

Two piercing, icy gazes were directed at her, and Xu Chaomu immediately felt an overwhelming sense of oppression.

Why was he standing in front of her?

She needed to step back, back, back!

“Lift your head up!” Shen Chi commanded harshly.

Xu Chaomu’s heart trembled. She hadn’t felt fear when arguing and fighting with so many people, but a single sentence from Shen Chi made her tremble all over.

Yet she stubbornly refused to lift her head, biting her lip, silent.

He was too fierce, and tears welled up in Xu Chaomu’s eyes.

“Shen Chi, stop being hard on Chaomu. She’s still a child, it really doesn’t matter. The necklace was found, after all, I don’t blame her,” Bai Man also stepped forward.

“Lift your head up, didn’t you hear me!” Shen Chi coldly commanded again.

The two icy gazes were like torches, focusing intently on Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu could fight with Liu Rumei, with Bai Man, but she didn’t dare defy this man!

If she dared to resist, he could crush her in an instant!

The grievance inside her surged, and with her lips tightly clenched, she lifted her head.

Her gaze met Shen Chi’s directly, and at that moment her diary dropped to the floor with a “slap.”

Bai Man stopped trying to persuade Shen Chi, letting him reprimand her. Perhaps it would teach her a lesson, preventing her from going astray at such a young age.

The rest of the people in the living room remained silent, quietly watching the scene unfold.

“Did you smash the vase?” Shen Chi asked coldly.

“Yes. I know I can’t compensate for it. If you want money, I don’t have any—if you want a life, take mine. Do as you see fit!” Xu Chaomu talked back sharply..
