If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 89: Not sure about eloping in the future

Translator: 549690339

For the first time in her life, someone dared to rummage through her belongings!

Now, it felt like her deepest secrets were being exposed, and Xu Chaomu’s blood raced to her head in anger.

Every ounce of rage burned within her body, igniting into tiny flames!

“Who the hell trashed my room like this?” Xu Chaomu yelled with all her might, shouting again.

Xu Chaomu was truly furious; she clenched her small fists, her lips pressed tightly together.

She was really, very angry!

Everyone downstairs froze for a moment, all eyes swept towards Xu Chaomu, but soon, each harboring their own thoughts, their gazes grew complicated.

“Go call the family doctor! What are you all standing around for?” Shen Yanrou bellowed at the stunned crowd.

Some started to clumsily call the family doctor while the rest went back to whatever they were doing.

The living room remained a chaotic mess.

No one paid attention to Xu Chaomu, who bit her lip, seething with indignation!

“Can none of you hear me?!” Her cold gaze swept over everyone again.

Her jaws were tightly clenched, her small face taut with tension.

Someone in the crowd muttered, “As if she’s really someone important.”

Followed by that, a few scoffs could be heard.

This was unbearable!

Xu Chaomu ran downstairs “thump, thump, thump,” grabbed a valuable vase from the living room coffee table and smashed it on the floor!

“Crash,” a loud noise echoed, instantly shattering the vase to pieces. The fresh flowers inside all fell to the floor, and the entire vase lay in ruins!

Only then did everyone get shaken up; even Bai Man was startled, hopping aside to avoid any rash actions from Xu Chaomu.

Shocked, panic-stricken, flustered!

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat!

This was a priceless Qing Dynasty pastel twining stem mouth vase, always placed on the coffee table, which the maids would clean with gloves on very carefully.

Now, Xu Chaomu had actually smashed it.

“Who the hell trashed my room like this?” Xu Chaomu asked coldly again.

Did they really think she was easy to bully?

She wouldn’t let them bully her!

The crowd exchanged glances, several new maids were so frightened that they quietly ducked their heads and slipped away to the side.

Bai Man had not expected the ordinarily carefree, lighthearted Xu Chaomu to lose her temper.

To tell the truth, Bai Man was a bit frightened herself.

Seeing that no one spoke up, Xu Chaomu grabbed another small screen inlaid with Hetian jade from the table, ready to smash it down.

The butler quickly grabbed hold of Xu Chaomu: “Miss Xu, you can’t smash anymore; these things are too precious for anyone to be accountable for their loss!”

Every single collection piece of the Shen Family was of great value!

“Butler, then you tell me, who entered my room?” Xu Chaomu’s eyes were red with anger.

She hated when people messed with her things, especially when they broke open her locked little box.

Inside the locked box were a young girl’s most innocent secrets.

Who would want their secrets to be known by others?

“This…” The butler lowered her head.

She had always remained silent about today’s events. She trusted Xu Chaomu a lot, yet the necklace was indeed found in Xu Chaomu’s room.

And today, with Miss Bai present, many times she could not take a stand.

At this moment, Bai Man stepped forward; she walked slowly towards Xu Chaomu in her white high heels.

“It was I who told them to go in.”

There was no sign of guilt on her face; it seemed like the most natural thing to do.

Bai Man’s agent, however, seemed to know what’s what and immediately followed: “I’m the one who went in and rummaged around. We were just following protocol, trying to help Miss Bai find her necklace. And the fact proves, the necklace was indeed in Miss Xu’s room!”

“Then what kind of explanation are you prepared to give me?” Xu Chaomu suppressed the rage in her chest.

Breathe out, breathe in, deep breaths!

She fixed her eyes intently on Bai Man!

Bai Man didn’t speak; her agent pushed his glasses up, his look sharp: “An explanation? Isn’t it Miss Xu who should give us an explanation?”

The agent was accustomed to opportunism in the entertainment industry, and seeing that the entire family looked unfavorably upon Xu Chaomu, he spoke with confidence.

Bai Man pulled her agent, speaking leisurely: “Xiaofeng, let it be, we have found the necklace, and I don’t want to say more.”

“Miss Bai, if you let this go today, what if another bracelet is lost tomorrow, and the day after a pair of earrings goes missing? If no one disciplines Miss Xu at her young age, what will become of her? You’re soon to marry into the Shen Family; would it be comfortable to live with a thief? Today it’s stealing objects; who knows if tomorrow it will be stealing affections…” Xiaofeng, the agent, spoke in one breath.

She was reminding Bai Man, suggesting that if Xu Chaomu had any ill intentions, even the Fourth Young Master of the Shen Family might be stolen, which would mean a loss for Bai Man.

“Xiaofeng… stop it…” Bai Man lowered her head, her eyes welling up with grievance.

Upon hearing these words, Xu Chaomu was ready to burst with fury!

“Let me reiterate one more time, this necklace has nothing to do with me! And, Miss Bai has not yet married into the Shen Family, but even if she does, I would not live under the same roof with her! And about stealing affections, do you think it is appropriate to talk about such matters in front of me? If Miss Bai is so understanding, then after marrying my fourth brother, she should behave herself and not be the one to do something improper!”

Now Bai Man was the one provoked by Xu Chaomu; how dare she say that!

Her agent stepped forward: “Miss Xu, we always speak and act with evidence. Are you saying you have no feelings for Fourth Young Master? Ha, who would believe that?”

After he spoke, the agent gave a signal to the other assistants behind him.

“Pitter-patter,” it wasn’t long before one of them brought over several exquisite password journals, flipping them open and tossing them at Xu Chaomu’s feet!

As the journals fell open, the delicate handwriting inside was laid bare for all to see.

Xu Chaomu’s eyes reddened, her gaze fierce and murderous.

Her blood was boiling! Seething! Screaming!

Her most treasured diaries had been pulled out of the box, and not only that, but they had cracked the passwords and read them!

“Miss Xu, if you had no feelings for Fourth Young Master, why would you write so much in your journals? Things like ‘Today I saw Fourth Brother laughing, he has a beautiful smile, I like to watch him laugh…”‘ the agent mocked as he read aloud.

It was as if she had been stripped naked in front of a crowd, all of Xu Chaomu’s thoughts laid bare.

These secrets, which she had carefully cherished, were never meant to be revealed one day!

She was furious, engulfed in a blaze of anger.

Her lungs felt ready to explode; her body trembled as she lost all reason and hurled a small white porcelain bottle towards the agent!

“You’re crazy!” the agent screamed, dodging out of the way.

The agent might have dodged, but the bottle accidentally struck Bai Man instead!
