Chapter 884 -884 Shen Chi, Stop Talking

“I did not collect evidence,” Xu Chaomu confessed to him. “Meeting your mother today was an accident; I just wanted to ask her some details. As for this USB drive, it isn’t mine. Likewise, I didn’t expect you to come back so early today.”

“If I hadn’t come back so early, wouldn’t I have missed these splendid events?” Shen Chi sneered coldly.

“If that’s what you think, then I have nothing else to say,” Xu Chaomu stated coldly.

Her face was expressionless, her lips stubbornly pressed together lightly; she no longer wished to explain.

She lowered her head and walked past him, not wanting to argue with him any longer; she desired peace.

But before she could take a step away, Shen Chi grabbed her wrist, holding on tightly!

Xu Chaomu winced in pain, frowning, “Let go of my hand… let go…”

Shen Chi remained indifferent, holding tight to her, pulling her back to face him, forcing her to look into his eyes.

“What are you trying to do?” Xu Chaomu struggled to free herself from his grip, her expression somewhat distressed.

But she was never his match; if he didn’t give her a chance, there was no possibility of her breaking free.

“If there’s evidence in hand, then go ahead and sue – I won’t stop you,” Shen Chi said in a deep voice.

“Shen Chi, you know very well that I won’t!”

“If I remember correctly, you told my mother that if a day came, you would collect evidence and send her to prison,” Shen Chi said.

“But I haven’t done that,” Xu Chaomu did not deny what she’d said. “Moreover, even if I did, wouldn’t it only be to punish my mother’s assailant? Is it wrong to let the criminal face legal sanctions?”

“So, I won’t stop you; go ahead,” Shen Chi said nonchalantly, but there was a cold look in his eyes.

Xu Chaomu stopped talking, staring at him with wide eyes.

Shen Chi continued, “Letting the criminal face legal sanctions and go to prison is not wrong.”

Xu Chaomu felt very sad; Shen Chi wasn’t talking to her properly – he was pressuring her.

They hadn’t seen each other for six days, and she hadn’t expected their meeting to turn out like this.

“Shen Chi, don’t push me. I don’t have those thoughts, why are you interpreting me this way?”

“These things are the best proof,” Shen Chi glanced at the USB drive on the floor.

Shen Chi bent down and picked up the USB drive from the ground, placing it in her palm.

“Take it, keep it safe. Do you want me to recommend a lawyer?” Shen Chi asked.

“No… it’s not…” Xu Chaomu shook her head, desperately shaking, “Shen Chi, I didn’t plan to pursue this matter, after all, thirteen years have passed! But why won’t you believe me? I’ve already made significant concessions, I can’t go back any further…”

“You say that, but your heart is set on something else,” Shen Chi snorted. “Keep the USB drive, and when you decide to sue, let me know in advance. After all, lawyers’ fees are considerable, and I can help out, can’t I?”

“Enough! Shen Chi, stop it!” Xu Chaomu was distressed…

Her eyes reddened, and if she hadn’t held back her tears, she would have cried out loud.

But the more it hurt, the less she wanted to cry.

“Do you think I want to waste my breath on you!”

Shen Chi’s face darkened. He released her hand, throwing it away forcefully, and without turning back, he headed for the door!

With a “bang,” the door closed!

The room immediately returned to silence, so quiet that not a single sound was heard.

Xu Chaomu’s tears, still falling, “pitter-patter” on the floor.

She was dazed for a long time, her chest heaving violently, her heart pounding incessantly.

She still held the USB drive in her hand, clutching it tightly and not letting go.

It was clearly his mother’s fault, which she had no intention of pursuing, but not pursuing didn’t mean she could forget, she couldn’t forget…

She had already made such a huge compromise, why couldn’t he understand…

Frankly, if their roles were reversed, if her mother was the one who killed his mother, would he not pursue it? He probably couldn’t do it…

But now, she hadn’t done anything, and yet, he was angry, very angry.

Xu Chaomu wiped away her tears in a moment of self-pity, she leaned on the table, sitting powerlessly in the chair he had occupied.

The computer was still on, sometimes, she could hear the sound of the computer running, the whole room was very quiet.

She locked the USB drive back in the drawer, this time, she added a lock to the drawer, and with it, she locked away that diary as well.

All these secrets, evidence, she had locked them up, never to be opened again.

She had made enough of a compromise, if he still thought it was her fault, then she had nothing to say.

All afternoon, Xu Chaomu sat in her own room, going nowhere. She was suffocating alone, with the warm air conditioning blowing, sitting on her bed.

The day gradually darkened, the night curtain was drawn, and everything slowly sank into darkness and coolness. The sky seemed to have been stained with ink, turning black at a rapid pace.

It was just past five o’clock, and the sky was already pitch black.

Xu Chaomu didn’t turn on the lights; she just sat on her bed, feeling very low.

She hugged her arms, although the room was air-conditioned, she felt cold. Only, after being cold for a while, her body became numb…

The curtains were not drawn, and the room was already pitch black.

Xu Chaomu sat on the bed like a small puppet, lonely and helpless.

In the dark, the diamond ring on her finger was still shining, but this light made Xu Chaomu feel somewhat blinded.

Gradually, she took off the ring and threw it aside.

…

As per custom, the butler came to call Xu Chaomu downstairs for dinner at seven in the evening.

However, the lights in Xu Chaomu’s room were off, which puzzled her: why were the lights off?

Moreover, Xu Chaomu hadn’t left her room all afternoon, nor was there any word of her wanting water or a snack.

The butler knocked on the door, “Chaomu, it’s time for dinner, did you fall asleep?”

Xu Chaomu hugged her knees, she had been sitting on the bed all this time, at first, she shed tears shamefully, but eventually, the tears ran dry.

Hearing the butler’s call, she wanted to respond but felt too weak to do so.

“Chaomu, open the door, it’s seven o’clock, time for dinner,” the butler said.

Finally, she lifted her head and glanced at the door: “I’ll come down in a bit.”

Hearing Xu Chaomu’s feeble reply, the butler became even more worried. What was wrong?

In recent days, the butler had clearly sensed Xu Chaomu’s mood was somewhat somber. At first, she thought it was because Shen Chi was away on business, but today, Shen Chi had come back, yet Xu Chaomu’s mood was still so gloomy.

“Madam Shen, may I come in?” the butler had the keys to Xu Chaomu’s room, just in case they were needed.
