If You Could Hear My Heart

Chapter 485: Chenglang Simply Doesn’t Like You
These gazes shot toward her like a flurry of arrows, but Xu Chaomu did not bow her head, walking towards Qi Na instead.

It was quite windy today, and Xu Chaomu brushed the stray hairs from her ear, standing quietly in front of Qi Na.

“Who are you calling a mistress?” Xu Chaomu asked coldly, looking at her.

Having spent a lot of time with Shen Chi, she had learned to sometimes maintain her composure and kill with her gaze.

Indeed, hearing Xu Chaomu’s icy words and seeing those sharp eyes, Qi Na felt a tug at her heart and took a small step back.

She looked at Xu Chaomu, and Xu Chaomu looked back at her, neither yielding, but Xu Chaomu’s presence clearly overwhelmed Qi Na.

Adding to today’s impression, Xu Chaomu wore a professional outfit for interviews, a white shirt, a black pencil skirt, and a high ponytail. She appeared capable and stylish.

In contrast, Qi Na wore a fluttery little white dress, looking every bit the weak, innocent girl.

Xu Chaomu initially did not want to argue with her, after all, she was pregnant, and anger was bad for the body.

She also didn’t want to get out of the car, since getting a tan wasn’t worth it.

But Qi Na was relentless, damaging her reputation in public, how could she sit still?

If this had been during her school days, she would have splashed cold water on her!

No, in this weather, it should be hot water!

Qi Na was now stammering, unable to continue her insults.

Now it was Xu Chaomu who was relentless. She took a step closer and stood right in front of Qi Na, “Say it, who are you calling a mistress?”

After a while, Qi Na finally spoke up.

“I’m talking about you, what about it? A mistress that dares to talk back?” Qi Na took another step back, her speech not as fluent as before.

Xu Chaomu was not someone to be easily bullied. She said coldly, “Apologize to me, make your accusation clear, and I might let it go.”

“Apologize? What a joke!” Qi Na regained her spirit, “I said you’re a mistress, isn’t that correct? I grew up with Brother Chenglang, childhood sweethearts, two little fools in love. Why did you have to meddle? Especially when you’re already married!”

“You and Chenglang are childhood sweethearts? Are you that shameless? Can’t you find a husband so you cling to your neighbor?”

“I’m not promiscuous. Of course, I don’t have that many men. Unlike you, seeing one man today, another tomorrow, and moreover, doing all this behind your husband’s back, right? How many times have you made your husband a cuckold?”

“Qi Na, you really think I, Xu Chaomu, am easy to bully, don’t you?” Xu Chaomu, with a cold face, stepped closer to her again.

Qi Na could only step back, but then a thought struck her: Xu Chaomu was pregnant, what did she have to fear from a pregnant woman?

With that thought, Qi Na became even more arrogant, “So you think that you can bully me, Qi Na, don’t you? I’m telling you, leave Brother Chenglang early, or else I’ll find someone to deal with you!”

“Deal with me? How do you want to deal with me?”

“A mistress is a target for everyone. I’m telling you, if you continue to involve yourself with Brother Chenglang, I’ll find someone to beat you up! If you have a miscarriage, don’t blame me. After all, who knows who fathered the bastard in your belly?”

As soon as Qi Na uttered these words, there were actually voices of agreement from the crowd.

“Yeah, mistresses are the worst, breaking up families, they should go to Hell.”

“What’s so hard about choosing a different path than being a mistress; is it really all about the money?”

“Young girls these days just want to eat without working and be kept women, don’t they?”

…

The comments never ceased, and Xu Chaomu took a deep breath, staying calm, calm; she didn’t need to deal with them.

She looked up and saw the Shen Group building not far away. She was the president of this corporation, she didn’t need to concern herself with them.

“Qi Na, I won’t even ask for an apology from you anymore. Whether you apologize or not doesn’t matter to me,” Xu Chaomu said with a calm face.

But the calmer she was, the more unsettled Qi Na felt.

Her big eyes stared directly at Xu Chaomu, watching her warily.

“I’ll punch you directly!”

With lightning speed, Xu Chaomu raised her hand and smashed it down, hitting Qi Na right on the chin!

Fighting? She knew how!

“Ah! You actually hit someone!” Qi Na had never expected Xu Chaomu to hit her.

She stepped back several paces, retreating so quickly that she tilted backward!

Thankfully, someone in the crowd sympathized with her situation, being replaced by the other woman, and offered a helping hand, preventing her from falling.

“That was a bit light.” Xu Chaomu rubbed her wrist.

Indeed, she had not hit hard, just giving Qi Na a lesson. Of course, more importantly, it had been a long time since she had fought, and this feeling… was incredibly satisfying!

This kind of woman just deserved a beating.

How dare she curse her baby!

“Xu, Xu Chaomu, you actually dare to hit me! You won’t get away with this!” Qi Na was even more unsettled.

Having said that, she suddenly started crying.

Err… This was unexpected for Xu Chaomu.

Normally, getting hit would lead to hitting back, fighting and such, which Xu Chaomu wasn’t afraid of; if it came down to it, they could just fight it out until the police got involved.

Plus, she had her driver with her.

The driver looked big and tall, certain not to let her suffer any disadvantage.

But, but Qi Na actually started crying!

Now it was Xu Chaomu who was taken aback. In such a public place, you’re not that young, girl, why the tears!

“I… I’m telling you Xu Chaomu, I can’t swallow this insult!” Qi Na sobbed.

While crying, Qi Na’s fists started pounding on Xu Chaomu!

Xu Chaomu pushed her away: “Why are you crying? You’re embarrassing yourself.”

No, this wasn’t right. This whole situation made it seem like she had wronged Qi Na…

“Xu Chaomu, can’t you leave Brother Chenglang alone? You already have a husband, stop clinging to him. If you keep this up, you’ll ruin Brother Chenglang…” Qi Na cried as she spoke.

“Stop making a fuss, Chenglang doesn’t even like you. The way you’re acting now, if he saw you, it would only annoy him!” Xu Chaomu frowned.

“I don’t care, just stay away from him, stay far away!”

Qi Na extended her fist and continued to hit Xu Chaomu, but being the dainty beauty that she was, even when her fists landed, they were gentle, lacking any real force.

As a result, Xu Chaomu felt like she was the rough man in contrast.

That punch, though not very powerful, still hurt when it hit the chin.

Unlike with Qi Na, whose punches on her felt like tickling.

And frankly, it was something a young couple might do!

What was Qi Na up to!

“If you really like Chenglang, do something that he would appreciate instead of being so childish! I don’t know who’s been filling your head with nonsense, but fine, I won’t ask for an apology. Just move your car already, it’s blocking the road; don’t you think others need to drive too?”

Xu Chaomu felt she had been far too polite to Qi Na!

But Qi Na wouldn’t listen; she was determined to lock horns with Xu Chaomu!

Although she was delicate and weak, lacking the strength to hit hard or out-curse Xu Chaomu, she did have long fingernails!
