If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 536: 536: The kept mistress, shameless

Chapter 536: Chapter 536: The kept mistress, shameless
 

“So noisy!” The middle-aged woman looked unhappy as she waved her hand dismissively at Xu Chaomu.

Fearing that Xu Chaomu would ask her again, the woman simply walked away, not bothering to deal with him at all.

Xu Chaomu’s face was covered in lines of annoyance, and he reluctantly turned to another uncle nearby, “Uncle, what happened here, why are there so many people?”

The uncle was in a relatively good mood, but he didn’t have much patience, “The owner of this research institute didn’t repay the borrowed money, and now creditors have come knocking at the door!”

Not repaying borrowed money? How could that be!

Yu Weiwei was definitely not the kind of person who wouldn’t repay debts, and besides, the Sunshine Institute always borrowed money from banks. How did it come to this, with debt collectors showing up at the door?

“Is that what happened?” Xu Chaomu anxiously asked.

“Isn’t that what you see.” The uncle, lacking patience, kept peering inside, “The female boss of this institute is rumored to be a mistress!”

“Who said that?!” Xu Chaomu burst out angrily!

“Why are you getting so worked up!” The uncle looked at Xu Chaomu with disdain.

The middle-aged woman who was quiet before, now chimed in, “Why wouldn’t it be true? The debt collectors said the man who was keeping her has run off, and this woman isn’t paying the debts!”

“No, it’s not that, this woman got involved with another man.”

“…”

The more they talked, the more absurd it became, and Xu Chaomu got angrier.

“Make way, let me through!” Xu Chaomu desperately tried to shove through the crowd.

It was packed tight, and she used a lot of effort to squeeze in a bit.

This time, she saw the scene inside the research institute!

The glass doors of the institute had been smashed; there were shards of glass everywhere, glinting with a burning shine under the sunlight.

At the entrance, several security guards were holding back the crowd. Of course, the onlookers didn’t dare move forward, afraid of getting hurt.

One of the guards kept shouting, “Everyone disperse!”

However, rather than decreasing, the crowd seemed to be getting larger.

“Don’t push, stay back! Stop looking!” The guard’s face was stern as he tried to herd the crowd to one side.

Xu Chaomu kept looking forward. The main door to the research institute had been smashed, the receptionist girls who usually manned the front desk had disappeared, seemingly in hiding.

Looking from the entrance toward the inside, no one could be seen, just a horrible mess.

Xu Chaomu was worried, where was Yu Weiwei?

Her eyes were full of anxiousness, as she attempted to pry the crowd open, trying to make her way further inside.

But the guards kept shooing people away, some people lost their balance and fell. After seeing the events unfold, some in the crowd gradually began to leave.

Xu Chaomu looked up and saw that the Sunshine Institute’s sign had been torn down!

These people were really bullying too much!

“Uncle, how long ago did these people come?” Xu Chaomu asked in a rush.

The uncle was still annoyed, “Not too long, they’ve been here for about half an hour.”

Half an hour… Xu Chaomu knew that with Yu Weiwei’s character, she would definitely try to resolve this matter herself and would not want to worry her friends and family.

But she was worried. Yu Weiwei mustn’t have any accidents.

Xu Chaomu stood still, listening to the crowd’s discussions.

“This woman is said to be in her twenties.”

“Of course, women are only valuable in their twenties, who’d want an older one? Being a kept mistress, truly shameless.”

“It’s said she owes a lot of money, several hundred million!”

“Really? Loan sharks?”

“No idea, this woman seems doomed, she’s no match for those burly men!”

As Xu Chaomu listened, she became more and more anxious. Several men had gone in search of Yu Weiwei?

Yu Weiwei, that girl, was too honest. With such a big incident, why wouldn’t she call Xu Chaomu.

Xu Chaomu didn’t care about anything anymore. She pushed past the guards in front and headed inside.

“Miss, you can’t go in, it’s dangerous inside!” The guard immediately blocked her.

“My friend is inside!”

“Even if it were your dad inside, it would be of no use, we won’t let you through!” the guard stated firmly.

After saying this, the guard moved to push Xu Chaomu out.

Xu Chaomu protected her belly and warned them, “Let me tell you, I’m pregnant now. If anything happens to me, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

Sure enough, the guards looked at each other in dismay, not daring to lay a hand on Xu Chaomu again.

Taking advantage of the confusion, Xu Chaomu slipped through them and darted inside!

“Stop! Stop!” A man followed after her.

Xu Chaomu kept running inside, searching for Yu Weiwei.

There were broken glass fragments everywhere on the floor. Xu Chaomu carefully avoided them, afraid that the shards would cut her feet.

“Weiwei, Weiwei!” She looked around and kept calling Yu Weiwei’s name.

There was no response, just empty silence everywhere.

The once lively research institute had turned into such a mess within half an hour!

Just then, Xu Chaomu suddenly heard a loud bang!

She got startled and looked up to find the source of the noise.

Right, the sound came from upstairs, and she knew that was where Yu Weiwei’s office was!

Had these people gone to trouble Yu Weiwei?!

Xu Chaomu quickly climbed the stairs towards the upstairs, her pace fast!

The guards didn’t stop her again. Firstly, because the woman claimed to be the boss’s friend, and secondly, because she said she was pregnant.

As she reached the top of the stairs, just approaching the landing, she saw several men in black clothing standing at the entrance to Yu Weiwei’s office!

Several men were blocking the door to Yu Weiwei’s office, their eyes sharp and expressions cold.

These men all looked tall and mighty; Yu Weiwei was no match for them.

If it came to a fight, Yu Weiwei would definitely be at a disadvantage.

“Weiwei!” Xu Chaomu shouted, walking from the stairwell to the office entrance!

“Who are you?!” One man took several large strides over to block Xu Chaomu.

The man wore sunglasses, obscuring his face and expression, but his attitude was rude.

“I am Weiwei’s friend. Where is she?”

“Yu Weiwei’s friend? Have you come to help her?”

The man extended an arm to block Xu Chaomu, holding a cigar between his fingers.

“What happened?” Xu Chaomu asked calmly.

These men all looked tough, and she definitely couldn’t afford to provoke them.

“Yu Weiwei owes us sixty-five million. Little girl, are you going to help her repay it?” The man sneered maliciously.

He took a puff of his cigar, exhaling smoke, eyeing Xu Chaomu.

“How could Weiwei owe you so much money? Let me see her.”

Xu Chaomu didn’t believe it. Although Weiwei was carefree, she was cautious in her dealings. Sixty-five million? Impossible!

Perhaps hearing Xu Chaomu’s voice, Yu Weiwei’s anxious calls came from the office!

“Chaomu, why did you come over, go back!”

“Weiwei!”

Xu Chaomu, ignoring everything, pushed past the man intending to run into the office!

Last time she was in the office, they were laughing and chatting; she hadn’t expected such a situation this time!
