If You Could Hear My Heart

Moreover, even with Bai Man’s family background, there are still people who dare to bully her; it seems someone is living too impatiently.

As soon as Shen Chi entered the film set, someone with sharp eyes immediately greeted him with respect, “Good day, President Shen.”

“Mm.” Shen Chi responded with a grunt from his throat and headed straight inside.

When he walked into the lobby, he indeed saw a crowd gathered around, some standing, some sitting.

Bai Man was sitting on the sofa, bowing her head and wiping away tears, surrounded by the most people, all of whom were comforting her.

In the middle of the lobby, a young girl stood, bowing her head and apologizing to Bai Man.

Xiaofeng’s eyes were also sharp, and as soon as she saw Shen Chi, she immediately called out, “President Shen!”

All eyes swooshed over to him, filled with respect, hesitation, and admiration.

“What happened?” Shen Chi frowned and asked Xiaofeng.

Bai Man stood up, her face filled with guilt, and walked to Shen Chi’s side, scolding Xiaofeng, “It was nothing serious. Why did you call the Young Master Fourth over?”

Shen Chi did not say anything; the call had clearly been made from Bai Man’s phone.

“Young Master, you have to stand up for Miss Bai. If newcomers can bully Miss Bai, won’t others no longer respect Miss Bai in the future? Miss Bai is kind-hearted. We have never had such an incident before,” Xiaofeng said smoothly.

“What exactly happened?” Shen Chi’s tone grew slightly impatient.

“It’s nothing, just a newcomer, it doesn’t matter. She just misspoke a word or two,” Bai Man hastily said.

Shen Chi became even more impatient, and Xiaofeng pushed Bai Man, hurriedly saying, “Though Miss Bai is generous and forgiving, how can we swallow this insult? President Shen, the newcomer said some unpleasant things. She spoke out of turn. I wonder if you would find it acceptable.” “Speak.” Shen Chi coldly spat out a word.

“The new girl was jealous of Miss Bai and smashed her powder compact and mirror. When Miss Bai spoke to her about it, she, not knowing where she heard the gossip, boldly confronted Miss Bai, ‘You are just an actress who can’t get married, with just a bit of good looks. If President Shen were willing to marry you, he would have done so already; why would he keep dragging it on?”‘ Xiaofeng spoke bluntly and finished in one breath. Hearing her recount it, Bai Man’s eyes reddened again.

“Is that all?” Shen Chi asked.

Xiaofeng shook her head, “There’s more. She also said Miss Bai is nothing more than a discarded chess piece that you, President Shen, have played with, no different from a hostess!”

Shen Chi’s brows furrowed even tighter.

Indeed, the words were offensive.

Bai Man’s eyes became even redder. She covered her face with a tissue, continuously wiping her eyes, her makeup already ruined from crying.

“President Shen, you must stand up for Miss Bai,” Xiaofeng said.

“Who said these words?” Shen Chi scanned the crowd, his gaze roaming over the people.

Suddenly, dead silence fell over the large hall, not a sound to be heard.

Wherever Shen Chi’s gaze landed, people lowered their heads, fearing that they would bring disaster upon themselves.

Normally, everyone knew Bai Man was the young lady of the Bai Family, and the future Mrs. Shen, the fourth young mistress of the Shen Family. Nobody dared to do anything to Bai Man.

This newcomer was audacious indeed, to say such things in front of Bai Man.

Although everyone was curious why Bai Man had not yet married Shen Chi.

But curiosity was one thing; holding it in one’s heart and saying it out loud were entirely different matters.

“I will ask one more time, who said these words!” Shen Chi raised his voice and shouted, his sharp eyes sweeping through the crowd once again.

Everyone was taken aback and shivered.

Although the film was funded by the Shen Group, no one had seen Shen Chi lose his temper. Many hadn’t even seen his face before.

Someone pushed a girl forward; she was the same girl who had just been standing in front of Bai Man.

“It was, it was me. I’m sorry, President Shen, Miss Bai. I shouldn’t have… said that.” The girl was trembling with fear, so much so that her legs went weak.

“Get out of the film set immediately and don’t even think of setting foot in C City ever again!” Shen Chi was ruthless.

Everyone gasped again, trembling with fear.

Shen Chi had spoken harshly, and this girl’s future might very well be ruined forever.

Disasters arise from careless talk.

“President Shen… You are a magnanimous person. I didn’t mean to do it. I just spoke without thinking. You can punish me however you want, but please don’t kick me out of the film set, okay?”

The girl fell to her knees with a thud. If it weren’t for Xiaofeng blocking her, she almost would’ve clung to Shen Chi’s legs.

Shen Chi frowned in disgust and said to Xiaofeng, “Aren’t you going to take her away?

“Yes, right away, President Shen.”

Xiaofeng responded, bending down to pull the girl by the arm, “We’re colleagues after all. Are you leaving on your own or should I have someone take you? Don’t say we don’t sympathize with you or give you face.”

“I… Xiaofeng, can you plead for me, please? I don’t want to leave, I really don’t want to go…”

“Isn’t it too late for you to be saying this now?” Xiaofeng said as she pulled her up, “Out of our past collegiality, I’ll escort you out. Remember in the future, trouble comes from the mouth, so speak less!”

As Xiaofeng shoved her towards the exit, the girl cried and wailed, “Xiaofeng,

Miss Bai, please help me beg for mercy. I didn’t do it on purpose…”

Her voice grew fainter and quite quickly, she was handed over to the security personnel.

Nobody dared to make a noise, silently watching everything unfolding, keeping their distance.

It seemed that the rumors were true, Miss Bai Man was indeed President Shen’s favorite darling, untouchable by anyone else.

Otherwise, one would meet with grave danger.

“Stop crying.” Shen Chi frowned as he passed a tissue to Bai Man.

Bai Man took it and her sobs became even heavier, her shoulders trembling.

“Don’t take such words to heart,” Shen Chi consoled her.

Bai Man remained silent, but Xiaofeng spoke for her.

“President Shen, everyone says Miss Bai is your fiancée, but you have never given her a definite wedding date, not even taken wedding photos, nor bought rings. Miss Bai is actually deeply hurt, yet she never says a word about it,” Xiaofeng said.

“Xiaofeng, stop it. The Young Master is busy, as you well know. These are just formalities, I don’t care about them,” Bai Man whispered.

Shen Chi remained silent. It turned out Bai Man had found herself a good agent indeed.

“Miss Bai, marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime event. Isn’t that right, President Shen?”

“Yes, it’s once in a lifetime,” Shen Chi said indifferently, a nearly imperceptible shadow darkening his gaze.

“President Shen, then you must give Miss Bai a promise. You know better than any of us how Miss Bai feels about you. She’s practically ready to give her heart to you,” Xiaofeng was eloquent.

Shen Chi slowly turned his head, his gaze meeting Bai Man’s.

The light in the hall shone on his face, and he appeared calm and composed to everyone present.

“Please invite Mr. Bai to the Shen Family’s house tomorrow.”

He had finally made up his mind. Yes, it was time for him to marry Bai Man..
