Chapter 541: Chapter 541: Never Think of Coming Back

“What’s wrong?” Shen Chi heard the urgency in Xu Chaomu’s tone and deepened his voice.

“I’m at Weiwei’s research institute.”

“Hmm, take your time.”

“Weiwei has run into a bit of trouble, I wanted to call Li Beiting, but I don’t have his number, so I’m calling you. Can you come over?”

Xu Chaomu knew Shen Chi was very busy, and his work was pressing. This was Yu Weiwei’s issue, and it seemed inappropriate to call him in any case.

“Where are you?” Shen Chi’s heart tightened.

“I’m outside her research institute.”

“Find a shady spot to stand and don’t move, I’ll be right there!”

Having said that, without waiting for Xu Chaomu to say anything else, Shen Chi hung up the phone.

“Shen Chi, Shen Chi…” Xu Chaomu anxiously called out his name.

But Shen Chi had already hung up. She paced back and forth outside the research institute, her anxiety doing her no good.

To make matters worse, the crowd outside was noisy, their clamors unending and filled with unpleasant words that only added to Xu Chaomu’s frustration.

Furthermore, the summer sun was scorching her skin, and she was already drenched in sweat without a moment to even wipe it off.

Her eyelids kept twitching.

“Nothing can go wrong, neither Chenglang nor Weiwei can run into trouble,” she silently prayed.

For a long while, there was no activity from the institute, and Xu Chaomu’s heart raced even more.

She kept peering into the research institute, looking for any sign of motion.

A few security guards paced back and forth at the entrance, and as noontime approached, the weather grew hotter, and many people slowly dispersed.

As soon as Shen Chi hung up Xu Chaomu’s call, he grabbed his car keys and headed outside of the CEO’s office!

“President Shen, where are you going?” Xiao Mo hurriedly followed him.

“Something came up!”

Without looking back, Shen Chi left the office and took the VIP elevator down.

Xiao Mo had just heard Shen Chi mention “Mumu,” and he knew that only Xu Chaomu’s affairs could affect Shen Chi like this.

He shrugged his shoulders, thinking, ‘What is known as a woman’s allure causing trouble.’

Shen Chi didn’t even call his driver; he went to the garage to get the car out himself!

He started his Maybach and sped out of Shen Group.

Yu Weiwei ran into some trouble?

Xu Chaomu’s first reaction was to call Li Beiting, well, that thought was understandable.

It only took fifteen minutes to drive from Shen Group to Sunshine Institute at increased speed.

Shen Chi called Li Beiting on the way, but to his surprise, the call wasn’t answered the first time.

He frowned and called again, still no answer.

What was the matter with Li Beiting?

Shen Chi called a third time, trying to be patient, and finally, just as his patience was nearly spent, the call connected!

“Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?” Shen Chi said in a steady voice, slightly displeased.

“What’s wrong?” Beiting replied indifferently.

“I heard from Xu Chaomu that something happened at Yu Weiwei’s research institute.”

“I’ve heard of it,” Beiting’s voice remained calm.

“You know?”

“Yeah, I’m aware.”

“So, where are you now?”

“At home.”

“What exactly happened at the institute?” Shen Chi frowned.

“It’s nothing.”

Beiting’s voice carried no emotion, like the calm surface of a lake, undisturbed.

Without waiting for Shen Chi to ask anything more, Beiting hung up first.

This was the first time that Shen Chi had been hung up on by Li Beiting for no reason; Shen Chi was furious, almost throwing his phone onto the passenger seat!

A chill settled on his face. What on earth was going on? Since Beiting knew about it, why wasn’t he at the institute?!

He was clearly smitten with Yu Weiwei, unable to get her out of his mind, and now when she was in trouble and it was his chance to show up, he was instead behaving like a turtle retracting its head?!

The more Shen Chi thought about it, the angrier he got, and with a sneer, he stepped on the gas pedal.

If it weren’t for Xu Chaomu’s call, he would not want to get involved in this!

After hanging up, Beiting threw his phone on the sofa as well.

He was indeed at home.

But it wasn’t just him in the living room; his parents were also there.

“Whose call was that?” His father asked with a stern face.

“Achi,” Beiting leaned back on the couch with a tired look.

His father, hearing it was Shen Chi, didn’t grow too suspicious.

“Beiting, you seem tired. Why don’t you go back and get some more sleep?” Beiting’s mother suggested.

Beiting said nothing, and the atmosphere in the living room grew cold.

The air conditioning blew cold air around, as if frosting the air.

“Leave me alone, I want to be alone,” Beiting spoke irritably.

His tone was relatively polite, after all, they were his parents.

“Fine, we’ll leave, but don’t even think about going to the institute to see that woman,” Beiting’s father said coldly.

“Do you think I can see her?” Beiting scoffed.

That morning, just as the trouble at the institute started, he was informed. At that time, he was still at home, hurriedly getting dressed to leave when his parents blocked him.

As the saying goes, bad news travels fast, and Yu Weiwei also happened to be Beiting’s ex-girlfriend. Soon, Beiting’s parents were aware of the situation.

They sent people to block the door, not allowing Beiting to go out.

Beiting argued with reason, and his parents casually warned him, “If you want to keep things from escalating, stay at home; otherwise, we will make that woman regret it.”

Just like that, Beiting was unable to leave, standing off against his parents all the time.

“Beiting, do you still have feelings for that woman?” Beiting’s parents hadn’t left and were asking him.

“That’s between me and her. Can you please not interfere!”

Beiting exploded in anger, grabbing the couch with hands so tense the veins stood out.

The sound of a smashing ashtray could be heard on the floor, indenting a chunk into it!

Beiting’s parents were immediately stunned; they had never expected Beiting to lose his temper over Yu Weiwei.

The living room fell into silence.

After a while, Beiting’s father, his voice deep, stared intently at Beiting.

“Beiting, when you broke up with that woman, I told you, if you got back with her, I’d make her parents leave C City.

Sitting up straight, with a solemn expression, he warned Beiting, “Now, I’ll add one more thing: if you get back with her, I’ll make her pack her bags and leave C City, never to return!”

“Why do you have to interfere between me and Weiwei?”

Beiting was furious, hands gripping the sofa, his knuckles bulging.

“We’ve said what we had to; you bear the consequences!” Beiting’s father was resolute.

Beiting’s mother added softly, “Some consequences, you might bear, but she might not.”

“Think about it yourself!” With that, Beiting’s father stood up, ready to leave the living room.
