Sweet Chief Secretary - Chapter 525

“You silly girl. You just want to forget it? Now I want to tell you clearly that I won’t allow you to do that.” Mrs. Xia said in a firm and irrebuttable tone.

“Mom, it’s not that I just want to forget it. Shen Yan won’t agree with that even if I want to.” Xia Yu held Mrs. Xia’s arm anxiously, “Mom, I just asked Cai Yanyan yesterday, and she only guessed that Shen Mo had ordered that. Xiao Man didn’t say it was Shen Mo. What’s more, I had thought about it carefully in the past two days. It was unreasonable for Shen Mo to ask Zhang Hanyu to let those people go when he was under the supervision of Xiao Qiang. I thought that since those people were under their control, they could do a lot of things. There was no need for them to do such a stupid thing. There are still many doubts now. If it proved that Shen Mo hadn’t done that, you would be the one who had to apologize since you come to Shen Family so recklessly. So please wait.”

Xia Yu analyzed the situation to her mother, but it sounded somewhat weird to Mrs. Xia. She pointed her finger at Xia Yu’s forehead, “You’re really a silly girl.”

Mrs. Xia sighed and paused for a while, and then said, “So, who else have you offended besides Shen Mo?”

Wasn’t it obvious? The deadline of one year was drawing near, Shen Yan was gaining in prestige, and even Shen Yan’s company ran better than Shen Mo’s. At this time, Shen Mo was the most anxious one.

It was not surprising that he did so since he was so evil. Mrs. Xia didn’t think but was sure that it was Shen Mo who did that.

“Mom, what you said makes sense. It is true that Shen Mo is the prime suspect, but sometimes the people we don’t think we have offended before may hate us.” Xia Yu naturally couldn’t remember anyone she had offended before, but she gained so many feelings after this incident.

For example, Xia Yu treated Cai Yanyan sincerely as a friend, but Cai Yanyan tried to hurt her again and again. Since so, what else could be impossible?

Xia Yu didn’t want to wrong Shen Mo as well lest he and Shen Yan should become enemies when they met again.

“Honey, I think our girl’s words make sense.” Xia Mingde also agreed with Xia Yu’s analysis. Xia Mingde knew Shen Mo better than his wife. How could he have done such a stupid thing since he was such a prudent man?

“Xia Mingde, what do you mean?” Mrs. Xia’s eyes widened immediately. “You don’t want to come to the Old Madame, right? I will go alone then.”

Xia Mingde smiled at once, “I didn’t mean that. Since we’re here now, no matter if Shen Mo did that or not, we have to come to them. Because our girl had the incident here and Shen Family is one of the leaders of S city.”

“I’m glad to hear that. Lao’er, call the Old Madame.” Mrs. Xia ordered Second Brother again.

“Dad, please stop my mom.” Xia Yu had to ask his father for help.

“Let your Second Brother make the call. We have to meet them since we are here anyway.” Xia Mingde signed to Xia Yu not to speak, and then looked around the room, “I just saw Shen Yan’s car in the yard when I came up. Why don’t he come here to greet me since I have been here for so long?”

Too bad! Xia Yu said to herself when hearing her father’s words. All she wanted before was to keep her father from seeing Shen Yan, but she didn’t expect that the car in the yard would cause his suspicion.

Xia Yu forced a smile, “Maybe he came here for other friends. He is not with me. Since you said his car was in the yard, he must not have left yet. I’ll call him and ask him to come over.”

“He was not here? Then forget about it. I thought he came to see you.” Xia Mingde smiled and stopped Xia Yu from making the call.

However, the Second Brother added aside, “When I came back last night, I saw Young Master Yan’s car parked below. What kind of friend he was talking with? It’s been too long. How could he not come to see his girlfriend? It’s too unreasonable.” The Second Brother even knocked on the door of the wardrobe on purpose then.

The Second Brother was so shrewd. He was sure that Shen Yan was still in the room, and the only thing in the room that could hold a person was the wardrobe.

Thinking that the dignified Young Master Yan was hiding in the wardrobe, the Second Brother almost couldn’t help laughing out. But even so, he did not plan to let him go. He looked at the baggage brought by Mrs. Xia, and said with a smile, “Auntie, are there clothes in the bag? Let me hang the clothes for you.”

“Thank you, but….” Before Mrs. Xia finished her words, the Second Brother had opened the wardrobe.

This boy was still as naughty as before. Mrs. Xia also knew what the Second Brother was going to do. She wanted to stop him, but she failed to, so she could only shake her head aside.

The Second Brother opened the largest wardrobe. He was confident that Shen Yan was hiding inside originally, but after opening it, he found nothing inside.

He paused for a while. Was he in another wardrobe? He opened another wardrobe then and found nothing again. He turned completely dumbfounded. Would he…

He must be in his room. The Second Brother immediately thought of another possibility and turned around to walk outwards.

“Second Brother, why do I feel you are looking for something instead of hanging the clothes for my mom?” Seeing the Second Brother walking out, Xia Yu could not help saying.

Xia Yu was clear that Shen Yan had already left, so she had no concerns then.

“Cause there are no hangers in your wardrobe.” The Second Brother laughed.

“Okay. Stop that. Just leave them there.” How could they really let the Second Brother find Shen Yan out? Mrs. Xia stopped the Second Brother aside.

The atmosphere turned relaxed after that. Then no one mentioned Shen Family again. But there was one person they had to mention—Chen Wenxuan.

If it weren’t for him, Xia Yu’s reputation would have been ruined. The Xia Family would repay every kindness, so Mrs. Xia said to her husband, “Mingde, whatever Chen Wenxuan had done before is gone, and we have to thank him this time.”

Xia Mingde nodded, “I heard that he is now doing the delivering. He should have a hard time now. That boy was somewhat smart. Since this time he saved Xiao Yu, we can give him some money to start a small business, so that he needn’t be so toilsome then.”

“It is just what I want to do. Let Lao’er give him some money some other day.” Mrs. Xia agreed with Xia Mingde’s proposal, and it was settled then.

After they chatted for another while, Xia Mingde stood up and said, “honey, stay with Xiao Yu at home. I will go to Ruyi Tower to take a look with Lao’er.”

“Okay, just go. We will go there later.” Mrs. Xia nodded. After Xia Mingde and Second Brother left the house, she looked back, holding Xia Yu’s hand with her hands, “I heard that Shen Yan pointed a gun at Shen Mo. How could he be so impulsive?”

It was true that Mrs. Xia was very angry and wanted to teach Shen Mo a lesson, but she did not agree with the use of force. She was afraid that things couldn’t be cleared up, so she came here.

“He did that because he was so angry. But he calmed down then and he didn’t do anything to Shen Mo.” Xia Yu thought about Shen Yan’s gun after her mother mentioned that. It was time for her to ask him why he had a gun.

“No matter how angry he was, he shouldn’t take out the gun. You should pay attention.” Mrs. Xia instructed.

“I know. I will remind him.” Xia Yu nodded.

“That’s it. Since your dad has left, shouldn’t you let Shen Yan come out now? Does he really not plan to come out until we leave?” Mrs. Xia joked with Xia Yu.

Xia Yu blushed and explained, “Mom, what are you talking about? If Shen Yan was here, wouldn’t he come out to greet you?”

“Really?” Mrs. Xia laughed.

“Really.” Xia Yu nodded surely.

Mrs. Xia pointed at Xia Yu’s forehead with her finger. It seemed that this girl refused to admit that until she was faced with the reality. Mrs. Xia went to the balcony and looked down. Shen Yan must be here as long as his car was still below, and then Xia Yu had to admit the truth.

But when she looked down, she couldn’t help making a sound of surprise. How could it be! When they came in, Shen Yan’s car was still there, and when they sat in the room, they didn’t hear the door open.

Did he really come to visit his friends? But it didn’t make sense that he didn’t come to Xia Yu after he visited his friends. His girlfriend lived here, and she had suffered so much. He was supposed to come over to comfort her.

There must be something wrong, but Mrs. Xia didn’t point it out bluntly. She just smiled at Xia Yu, “Forget about it. Call him since he’s not here. Let him go to Ruyi Tower at noon.”

“Okay.” Xia Yu smiled.

While in Shen Family, Secretary Yang told the Old Madame in the presence of First Madame and Second Madame that the Second Brother had called him and asked him to tell Old Madame that his master and the master’s wife were both in S city this time.

Hearing that her relatives by marriage in the future were here, Second Madame hurriedly said to Old Madame, “Mom, they must come here for the incident of Xiao Yu this time. Anyway, Xiao Yu had the accident here, so we were all responsible for that. How about I come to them to apologize to them first?”

“Sister, what do you mean? Those people have not been found yet. There is no evidence that Little Mo did that. You want to apologize?” First Madame was guilty when she heard that Xia Mingde and his wife both came over. What’s more, Second Madame even wanted to make an apology. She turned so anxious on the spot.

Her apology was tantamount to admitting that Shen Mo really did it. Even if her son would not be punished by the law, he would have a bad reputation among the directors in the company.

It was the crucial time to vie for the President, so First Madame could not let anything tarnish her son’s reputation.

Old Madame didn’t say anything about the truth that those people disappeared when they were under Shen Mo’s control. However, she also had her own opinion in her heart. Whether Shen Mo did it intentionally or not, those people disappeared completely after he took over them about twenty minutes, while nothing had happened when they were under Liu Sijie’s control.

At least, Shen Mo was less prudent than Shen Yan and worse at using talents.

Since First Madame wanted to make her son the President so much, she had to help him handle things beyond work. But she looked so anxious when things happened, and her ways of handling things were also impersonal.

Anyway, Shen Mo was the prime suspect this time. She should have shown a better attitude no matter it was fake or not so that they could get Xia Family’s pardon in the future. But what did she just say?

Old Madame turned really angry, saying with a sulky face, “Did your sister just say that Little Mo did it? Pay attention to your attitude!”
