Each time this happened, Shen Shihan would take the exam paper from Xu Chaomu’s hand and sign his own name on it.
And she would happily hug Shen Shihan, “Third Brother, you’re the best, I love you the most!”
Of course, that kind of love was not the same as the love she had for Shen Chi, in her heart, she had only ever loved Shen Chi.
But now, her Third Brother, whom she regarded as her own family, was in cahoots with Zhou Peitian.
Her heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Why, why did Third Brother deceive her, why didn’t she have a single person she could trust and rely on?
If Shen Shihan could deceive her, then what about Shen Chi? Had Shen Chi been deceiving her all along?
None of them ever really considered her family, she gave them her whole heart, confided everything to them, yet this is how they treated her.
Liars, all liars.
The people of the Shen Family, all liars.
Her heart hurt to the point of being beyond cure, her hands icy cold, her body trembling.
After listening to Xu Chaomu, Zhou Peitian touched his chin and said indifferently, “I do know Shen Shihan.”
He did not say whether their relationship was good or bad. But Shen Shihan had instructed him to not allow harm to come to Xu Chaomu.
“So you are taking me away, does my Third Brother know about it?” Xu Chaomu asked, her voice filled with heart-rending despair and anger.
Zhou Peitian stopped talking, staring forward and driving in silence.
Xu Chaomu understood, she understood everything.
Tears streamed down her cheeks, she covered her face, her voice hoarse and powerless, “Liars… you’ve all deceived me…”
It was like suddenly being stabbed in the heart, and the person wielding the knife was the relative she once relied on.
For eight years, she had truly treated Shen Shihan as her own brother, regardless of the lack of blood relation.
When he was unwell, she would rush to his side, pour him water, fetch his medicine.
She would occasionally check on him, asking, “Third Brother, are you feeling better?”
Why was it that the sincere love she offered was repaid with deceit?
Just like she truly liked Zhou Ran, yet eight years later, she was told, “Xu Chaomu, you should leave the Shen Family, don’t try to be a homewrecker.”
She was sincere in her kindness to everyone, yet no one was truly kind to her.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart, everyone was deceiving her.
“Chaomu… don’t cry, you still have me.” Mo Shuifu hugged Xu Chaomu.
She knew that Shen Shihan was Xu Chaomu’s Third Brother, anyone would feel terrible hearing what she had.
“Shuifu… why do they all treat me like this… why…”
Mo Shuifu sighed, an eighteen-year-old girl, still unaware of the evil nature of the human heart.
Zhou Peitian became irritated at the sound, he sped up the car, driving towards a warehouse.
About half an hour later, Zhou Peitian drove the car to his company’s warehouse.
It was secluded and secure, hence, Xiao Mo and his men definitely wouldn’t come looking here.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the warehouse, Zhou Peitian saw Shen Shihan’s Ferrari.
Under the cover of night, the Ferrari was low-key luxurious, the window half open, parked quietly by the warehouse.
Shen Shihan lit a cigarette, his gaze cold and deep, staring ahead.
Seeing Shen Shihan’s Ferrari’s license plate, Mo Shuifu’s hand trembled, her lips pressed tightly.
It had been a while since she left Shen Shihan, after that day, he indeed had not come to look for her again.
He had said he would let her go.
But now, they were to meet again.
“Mo Shuifu, go to Third Young Master’s car, leave with him.” Zhou Peitian opened the car door.
“I’ve said it’s impossible, I will stay with Chaomu.” Mo Shuifu remained resolute.
“Don’t refuse the wine only to be forced to drink the penalty, you really want to get involved in this mess. And don’t think just because Third Young Master still likes you, no one dares to touch you,” Zhou Peitian snapped.
“I’m not relying on anything, I’m just standing on the position of an older sister, I won’t abandon Chaomu and not care.” said Mo Shuifu.
Xu Chaomu felt a warmth in her eyes, maybe, it’s at times like these when she would find out who was really the best for her.
Yet, she still pushed Mo Shuifu away, “Shuifu, don’t worry about me, I don’t believe Third Brother would do anything to me.”
At worst it’s death, if Shen Shihan had it in him.
“Chaomu, Shen Shihan and Zhou Peitian are birds of a feather, they are capable of anything!”
“I’ve called him ‘Third Brother’ for eight years, if he really is cruel, then let him come, I’m not afraid,” Xu Chaomu bit back.
Zhou Peitian grew even more irritable, he hated dealing with women the most.
At that moment, the door of the Ferrari opened, and Shen Shihan got out, striding towards the Land Rover.
The night was morbid, he was clad in a black suit that made him even more imposing and austere, as if the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees.
In the moonlight, his face showed no emotion, just endless coldness.
Within a few steps, he was at the car door.
His voice low and cold, he glanced at Mo Shuifu, “Get out.”
Mo Shuifu held his gaze, “Shen Shihan, don’t forget what you said.”
He had said he would let her go, that he would never look for her again.
“I haven’t forgotten, you leave here with me, the rest, I won’t deal with,” Shen Shihan said in a deep voice.
“No, all of it, you stay out of my affairs!” Mo Shuifu said with a cold laugh.
“I have to deal with what’s happening tonight!”
Having said that, Shen Shihan boldly grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the car.
Xu Chaomu didn’t hold onto Mo Shuifu anymore, she knew she couldn’t drag Mo Shuifu down with her.
“I won’t leave with you, Shen Shihan, you let someone kidnap Chaomu, do you have any humanity?” Mo Shuifu questioned fiercely.
“It’s none of your business!” Shen Shihan’s voice was cold.
Unexpectedly, Mo Shuifu was determined to stand by Chaomu, she bowed her head and bit into Shen Shihan’s arm.
Zhou Peitian, acting on instinct, protected Shen Shihan, striking Mo Shuifu hard and knocking her out.
Mo Shuifu fell into Shen Shihan’s arms, he supported her, his gaze deep.
“Third Brother, treat Shuifu well, don’t deceive her.”
The last four words, Xu Chaomu said through clenched teeth.
Shen Shihan’s tightly pressed lips moved slightly, but he said nothing, supporting Mo Shuifu as he walked to his car.
The Ferrari drove away, leaving only Zhou Peitian and Xu Chaomu behind.
Zhou Peitian stood at the car door, glanced at Xu Chaomu, and lazily said, “Aren’t you coming down?”
Xu Chaomu knew she had no escape, she got out of the car, standing in the wind.
“Don’t worry, whether you live or die, the decision isn’t up to us.”
“What do you mean?” Xu Chaomu didn’t understand.
The wind tousled her disheveled hair, and she realized that her body was chilling.
“It’s in the hands of your Fourth Brother.”
“Are you planning to use me to threaten my Fourth Brother?”
“Smart girl,” he remarked.
“Could it be that you’ve miscalculated? Shen Chi doesn’t care about me at all, using me as a bargaining chip is not worth it.”
“That’s what I think too, I reckon kidnapping Bai Man would be much more effective than kidnapping you. But your Third Brother said, the person Shen Chi cares about the most, is you.”
