Of course, it was also the first time she had seen Shen Chi completely drunk.

She just happened to be propping her chin and sitting by the window, staring into space, when her gaze drifted to the villa’s gate and caught sight of several people escorting Shen Chi home. Then, they took Shen Chi into the room next door.

When Xu Chaomu saw that Shen Chi had drunk too much, she frowned, looking very uncomfortable.

After that, she heard people talking in the next room.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen President Shen drink so much.’

“I wonder what’s troubling him—does he have some worries on his mind?” “Could it be that he had a quarrel with Miss Bai?”

“Impossible, Miss Bai’s personality is so gentle, and she likes President Shen so much. She wouldn’t quarrel with him.” “That’s true, President Shen isn’t the type to argue with women either.”

“Could it be something related to business?”

“Who knows!”

The group chatted back and forth for a while, and even the butler came upstairs to help. Fortunately, Shen Chi was a good drinker. Even when drunk, he didn’t speak, let alone cause a scene.

Xu Chaomu couldn’t hear Shen Chi’s voice, and her heart tightened. She walked to the door, wanting to open it and check on the room next door.

Although she had quarreled with Shen Chi during the day and he had been so fierce to her, seeing him in discomfort made her feel uneasy.

Well, that settled it. She would not bother with him; she would just take a look.

Just a look and then leave.

But just as she was about to open the door, one of the men said, “Make a phone call and have Miss Bai come over!”

Immediately after, another man said, “Yes, let Miss Bai come. Miss Bai is President Shen’s fiancée, taking care of him is the most suitable. We’re a bunch of clumsy men.”

It seemed the butler agreed, “Alright… I’ll call Miss Bai right now.”

Xu Chaomu retracted the step she had taken to go out.

She twisted her hands together, lowered her head, and walked back to her own bed.

After turning off the lights and drawing the curtains, the room plunged into darkness.

Before long, she heard footsteps and Bai Man’s voice again.

Bai Man’s voice was distinctive, unforgettable after hearing it once, like the song of a melodious oriole.

“Is he drunk? Is there any trouble?” Bai Man sounded very anxious.

The butler replied, “Miss Bai, there’s no serious harm done. The young master is just a bit too drunk.”

As soon as Bai Man arrived, the men who had escorted Shen Chi home left the Shen estate.

Xu Chaomu covered herself with the quilt and couldn’t hear the voices next door anymore, but she couldn’t fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.

Around 7 0’clock,. pretending to have slept soundly, she rubbed her eyes and went downstairs.

“Good morning, Miss.” The servants were also downstairs doing work.

“Morning. ”

Due to yesterday’s incident, there was a strange atmosphere in the Shen family home. Although the looks everyone gave Xu Chaomu no longer carried the disdain of the past, they now darted away in avoidance.

Xu Chaomu, as usual, sat at the table for breakfast, ignoring everyone’s gazes.

The butler was cleaning up the table. Ever since Xu Chaomu casually smashed a priceless vase yesterday, the master had ordered that no more expensive items should be placed in the living room.

The butler sided with Shen Chi, but she wouldn’t offend the other members of the Shen family either.

Last night, Xu Chaomu had been called for a talk by the master, and she had been the first one the butler called for Shen Chi.

But now, Xu Chaomu was eating her breakfast leisurely, without questioning where Shen Chi had gone.

She asked softly, “Miss Xu, it’s Sunday today. Do you have any plans?”

“Going hiking.” “Oh, alone?”

Xu Chaomu knew that the butler followed Shen Chi’s orders and would report her whereabouts to him.

Nevertheless, after yesterday’s event, her quarrel with Shen Chi had left a bitter taste, and besides, Shen Chi was drunk now, with Bai Man keeping him company.

“Not alone,” Xu Chaomu said indifferently.

What did she care who she went hiking with! If Shen Chi dared, he could come out and yell at her.

She was not afraid of him; she despised him.

“Oh.” The butler didn’t say anything else.

Xu Chaomu continued with her breakfast, and the butler continued cleaning the living room.

After a while, the butler came back, hesitating before she spoke, “Miss Xu, the young master drank too much last night, don’t you want to go upstairs and check on him?”

“What’s it to me if he drank too much? I need to go hiking, and I have already made plans with friends,” Xu Chaomu responded coolly, deliberately glancing up at the clock on the wall.

“Oh,” the butler said, her eyes filled with complexity. She didn’t elaborate.

The young master treated Xu Chaomu so well, and yet she spoke those words.

Everyone saw yesterday that Miss Bail s necklace had been found in Xu Chaomu’s room, yet the young master not only didn’t punish her, but also protected her.

The butler thought Xu Chaomu was really… too thoughtless.

The butler sighed and shook her head as she walked away.

In the end, she was still just an eighteen-year-old girl.

When Xu Chaomu finished the last sip of her milk and was about to stand up, Bai Man came down from upstairs.

Bai Man had no particular expression on her face but glanced at Xu Chaomu when she saw her.

“Chaomu, come here for a second.’

Xu Chaomu didn’t pay her any attention, “I’m going hiking, I don’t have time.” “I just want to talk to you for a moment; it won’t take long. Once we’re done, I can even take you there,” Bai Man said, her tone somewhat coercive and displeased.

The butler heard their conversation but didn’t speak up, continuing her work on the side.

Xu Chaomu didn’t like having a private conversation with Bai Man. The last time they talked in the car, it left her in a bad mood.

“But I don’t want to listen to you,” Xu Chaomu said undisturbed. Bai Man’s face turned ugly, as Xu Chaomu was rejecting her in front of everyone.

When had Bai Man ever had to curry favor with anyone? And now, this girl was repeatedly undermining her. Was she too easy to bully?

“Xu Chaomu, you have two options today—either come out with me, or don’t think about leaving the Shen house!” Bai Man said sternly.

She would be the future young madam of the Shen family, and if she didn’t give Xu Chaomu a lesson, would Xu Chaomu dare to openly compete with her for Shen Chi in the future?

She had already planned to have her father discuss the engagement with the Shen family in a few days, and once it was settled, she would kick Xu Chaomu out of the Shen house.

At the engagement, she would make a public announcement to let everyone know that she, Bai Man, was engaged to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi always considered the bigger picture; even if he continued to protect Xu Chaomu at that time, he wouldn’t do anything to her.

“This is not the Bai family’s house; since when is it your turn to dictate me?” Xu Chaomu said lightly.

“I am Shen Chi’s fiancée, and I am now part of the Shen family. But you, you don’t even have the right to stand in the Shen house! I don’t want to discuss this with you; you should be very clear about it yourself,” Bai Man said unreservedly, not knowing what had provoked her.

Xu Chaomu bit her lips and lowered her eyelids, knowing that Bai Man was right.

Indeed, she didn’t even have the right to stand in the Shen house.

Eight years ago, through a twist of fate, Zhou Ran brought her back from the orphanage to the Shen family, and she herself couldn’t figure out why..
