If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Shen Chi, You are Really Brave
 

Zhou Ran was at her wit’s end, Shen Chi had spread his wings, and no one could control him now.

In fact, they lost control over Shen Chi many years ago.

Shen Chi had such a temper that in this lifetime, only Xu Chaomu occupied all of his heart.

“By the way, Father, speaking of handing over the Group to me, isn’t there one last procedure between us that hasn’t been completed yet?” Shen Chi said coldly.

He crouched in front of Shen Cexian’s wheelchair, not backing down in the slightest—he had come prepared today.

Both Shen Cexian and Zhou Ran were clever people; as soon as Shen Chi said this, they understood what he meant!

The last procedure was none other than signing the authorization documents, handing over Shen Group to Shen Chi completely and thoroughly.

“Don’t even think about it!” Shen Cexian swung his large hand furiously!

Previously, Xu Chaomu’s refusal to divorce Shen Chi had already accumulated resentment within him, even Xu Chaomu dared to defy him.

Had Zhou Ran not been present, he would probably have signed Shen Shihan’s name on the authorization document long ago!

Unfortunately, Shen Shihan was also disappointing. Liu Rumei had set him up with the daughter of C City’s mayor, and yet he refused to marry her.

If Shen Shihan had been willing to marry the mayor’s daughter back then, Shen Cexian would never have handed over Shen Group to Shen Chi.

Shen Chi had too strong a temper and was decisively ruthless. Shen Cexian knew he could never control Shen Chi once he became old.

But he had never imagined that before he even signed the documents, Shen Chi would come to threaten him.

“Is that so?” Shen Chi was surprisingly calm, “Father, who then do you intend to give the Group to?”

“Achi, leave here now!” Zhou Ran looked at Shen Chi, also becoming angry.

In her heart, Shen Chi had always been rational, but over the years, he had changed.

Because of a Xu Chaomu, he had changed completely, especially after Xu Chaomu returned five years later.

“I don’t like the feeling of leaving empty-handed.” Shen Chi’s face darkened, his attitude resolute.

“I will never give you the authorization document, and if you don’t go back now, I’ll call someone.”

Shen Cexian angrily tapped his cane on the ground, making a “thud thud” sound!

Shen Cexian was also determined, but he was not yet ready to completely fall out with Shen Chi.

“Shen Chi, I’m not old yet, I won’t sign the authorization document! Besides, with four children in the Shen Family, why should I hand over the Group to you!” Shen Cexian shouted angrily.

“This summer resort is located in a very secluded area. If I had it sealed off, Father, what do you think of that?” Shen Chi looked at Shen Cexian, his voice deep and slow.

“Shen Chi, you’ve got guts!”

“I gave you a choice,” Shen Chi coldly laughed, “Don’t forget, all of Shen’s financial lifelines are in my hands now. Even if you don’t sign, I believe it won’t be a loss to me.”

“As long as I don’t sign, I can reclaim the Group at any time!” said Shen Cexian.

“Do you think the board of directors is still comprised of the same people from your era, who will obey you unconditionally?” Shen Chi’s tone was hostile.

Five years ago, due to insufficient funds, his position wasn’t stable.

In these five years, he had realized this fact. Not only did he firmly grasp the financial power of Shen’s in his own hands, but he had also dispersed all the veterans of the Group’s board of directors.

Now, Shen Group was Shen Chi’s world.

The threats from Shen Cexian were utterly ineffective against him!

“You!” Shen Cexian coughed repeatedly in anger.

He had stopped intervening in the Group’s affairs long ago. He had not anticipated that Shen Chi would secretly replace all the Group veterans.

“Shen Chi, you unfilial son!” Shen Cexian’s face turned as pale as paper with wrath.

“So, Father, aside from me, Shen Chi, no one should even think about taking over Shen Group.”

The cold, warning tone made the atmosphere around them increasingly tense.

He slowly stood up, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his trousers. Compared to Shen Cexian’s fury, his face showed calm and composure.

From this angle, Shen Chi appeared like a high and mighty emperor.

Faced with Shen Chi, Shen Cexian was helpless; he even struggled to stand up from his wheelchair.

Between father and son, the tension was palpable; a fuse ready to ignite!

“What’s wrong, still don’t want to bring out the authorization document?” Shen Chi sneered.

Shen Chi pressed forward relentlessly, leaving Shen Cexian no room to retreat.

Even Zhou Ran had nothing to say; five years later, Shen Chi had become incredibly assertive.

She grasped Shen Cexian’s wheelchair; at this moment, one was her husband, the other her son. She didn’t want to see them turn against each other.

“Shen Chi, are you not afraid of being despised by others?” Shen Cexian weakly retaliated.

“What do you think?”

“I’m telling you, I won’t sign it, now leave!”

“Fine, from today on, don’t even think about setting foot outside this villa!”

“You! Shen Chi! Cough, cough…” Shen Cexian coughed uncontrollably.

Shen Chi approached him, and at that moment, Shen Chi’s phone rang.

Looking down, it was Xu Chaomu.

“Mumu.”

“Are you… coming back tonight?”

Shen Chi glanced at his watch, it was past five.

He softened his tone, reining in the coldness from before: “I’ll be back.”

“Oh, don’t think I miss you or anything, I don’t. I’m just asking on behalf of Butler Ling, she said if you’re coming back, she’ll cook several dishes that you love.”

“Okay, I got it, you don’t miss me.”

Xu Chaomu covered her mouth and giggled on the other end: “How long until you return?”

“Soon,” said Shen Chi.

“Butler Ling says not to hurry, we’ll wait for you.”

“Really? Why didn’t Butler Ling call me personally?”

“Alright, I’m not talking to you anymore, I’m going to hang up,” Xu Chaomu said, her face beaming with a sweet smile.

Every time Shen Chi was not being jealous, not temperamental, not acting up, and not behaving like a beast, he was quite lovely indeed.

“Alright, you hang up first,” Shen Chi waited for her.

Shen Chi waited until Xu Chaomu hung up the phone before finally putting away his phone.

When he turned back, the tenderness on his face had completely vanished, replaced by endless indifference and iciness.

“I’ll count to three, Father, and I’ll give you one last choice. One…”

Zhou Ran quickly stepped in front of Shen Chi. Even as composed as she was, her face now revealed panic.

She stopped him: “Achi, must you push things to such an extreme with your father?”

“I haven’t forced anyone. I’m simply treating others in the way they’ve treated me,” Shen Chi said, his words light as a feather yet sharp as a blade.

Xu Chaomu was his bottom line, which both his father and mother understood better than anyone!

“Shen Chi, I’m telling you, I won’t just refrain from signing, I will also make sure you are removed from the CEO position!” Shen Cexian’s attitude was extremely firm.

“Fine, I’ll wait,” Shen Chi replied coldly.

“Cough, cough…” Shen Cexian coughed continuously, his eyes bloodshot.

His sharp and profound eyes looked at Shen Chi, showing no signs of yielding.

After all, he had been a formidable figure in the business world for decades; there was no way he would be intimidated by Shen Chi.
