Chapter 469: Chapter 469: Distasteful Text Message
After playing a piece of music, she stared out the window for a long time.
Through the large floor-to-ceiling window, sunlight dappled the green trees, hills, and rivers, casting a glittering golden sheen everywhere.
It hadn’t rained for a long time, and everything was very dry.
In such dry weather, the sky appeared even bluer.
The Shen Family’s villa was beautiful, from where she could see the vibrant flora in the garden and the lotus flowers in the pond, swaying gracefully in the summer breeze.
This was the Shen Family, where she had lived for eight years, a place that held all her emotions.
All of a sudden, she remembered that she had once buried something under a magnolia tree.
It was a necklace given to her by Shen Chi.
Although she hadn’t had the necklace for long, she still remembered what it looked like.
The necklace had a piece of warm and lustrous jade on it, with the words “Chaomu” engraved.
Even now, she remembered how it felt when Shen Chi put that necklace on her, as if it were just yesterday.
Who would have thought, five years have passed, how fast time flies.
She wondered if the wooden box under that tree was still there…
Xu Chaomu’s phone screen had lit up numerous times, but Xu Chaomu, standing by the window, was oblivious to it.
The phone was on silent, so of course, she couldn’t hear it.
She had been standing by the window for a long time, basking in the harmonious glow of sunshine on the beautiful view. After several years of design study in Paris, her appreciation for beauty had only deepened.
She loved designing, especially the satisfaction she got from seeing her own designs turned into tangible objects.
It’s just a shame that her last project in Paris wasn’t completed.
That was a bracelet design for the Faye Jewelry company’s branch office, her first major project that she devoted herself to with great care.
Now the design draft is still on her computer, while she is no longer in Paris.
She wondered if that bracelet design would be finished in three months…
If she could join Shen’s, she would definitely discuss the design drafts with Lou Yanli.
She, who was still a poor student five years ago, can now design with ease and confidence after five years.
She stood at the window, her lips curving into a faint smile.
After standing there for quite a while, just as she walked back to the piano, a text message came through.
With a flash on the screen, Xu Chaomu, out of curiosity, picked up the phone.
It was from an unknown number, with several unread messages.
Xu Chaomu blinked, what was this about?
She opened the messages, looking at the first one, and suddenly froze.
The first message was a text, just a simple sentence: Do you know what your husband did last night?
Xu Chaomu frowned, wondering who this could be.
She had seen Shen Chi leaving the company with several executives the day before. Shen Chi had said they were going to a hotel for a closed-door meeting and wouldn’t be able to come back for a few days.
What could he have done last night besides meetings or resting?
Xu Chaomu furrowed her brows and continued to the second message.
The second was a video message, a very short clip.
Xu Chaomu opened it and was immediately dazzled by the lighting.
A kaleidoscope of lights, deafening music—was it a nightclub? The lively kind?
The video was short and without much content, just some scenes inside the nightclub.
Xu Chaomu mumbled to herself, could this have been sent to the wrong person?
She patiently clicked on the second video.
This one was dark, showing a large private room filled with men’s and women’s voices.
Xu Chaomu recognized none of the people she saw.
But these people were pretty uninhibited, with several women sitting on the same man’s lap, the man’s hands roaming freely, and the women appearing quite happy, emitting giggles.
“Give daddy a kiss, come on…”
“Stop it…”
The video was filled with licentious sounds, which made Xu Chaomu uncomfortable.
The second video contained some indecent material.
It wasn’t long either, just over three minutes. Xu Chaomu watched it till the end with patience, and suddenly she heard a man’s voice.
“President Shen has arrived.”
Immediately, everyone straightened up.
At that moment, the video abruptly ended.
Xu Chaomu tapped the screen; the video was over!
She hurriedly scrolled to the next video. It wasn’t a continuation of the previous one, but she saw Shen Chi.
Shen Chi was wearing a white shirt and had an expressionless face.
Xu Chaomu remembered, he was indeed wearing a white shirt yesterday.
The crowd greeted Shen Chi, urging him to sit down, and soon, several beautiful women were sent his way.
Xu Chaomu’s heart skipped a beat, and her hand holding the phone started to tremble.
What did this mean?
A look of perplexity swept through Xu Chaomu’s eyes, and her long eyelashes quivered slightly. Gradually, her heartbeat accelerated.
She feared she might accidentally drop the phone and so sat down by a coffee table, placing the phone on it.
Though the image wasn’t particularly clear, she could still recognize Shen Chi.
And his voice, she was familiar with it too.
At first, when the women sat down next to him, he refused them. But after being coaxed by the men to drink a few glasses, he didn’t resist as much.
Later, a voluptuous, seductive, and sexy woman leaned into his embrace, touching him all over.
The woman in the skimpy camisole had ample curves and kept rubbing against Shen Chi.
Xu Chaomu frowned, finding it difficult to continue watching.
She would only occasionally read a risqué book; normally, she wouldn’t watch videos like this.
She realized these videos were akin to pornographic films.
Especially since the male lead in the videos was her husband.
There were quite a few videos sent from this unknown number, and Xu Chaomu clicked through them all, depicting chaotic and disheveled men and women.
The music in the room and the blue lights created an addictive atmosphere…
Xu Chaomu’s heart was pounding severely; she watched all the videos, feeling at a loss afterward.
Impossible, this couldn’t be Shen Chi. Even if he had been drinking a lot, he wouldn’t get close to these women.
There must be someone with ulterior motives.
She believed in him.
She looked through all the messages sent by the unknown number, and aside from the first being a text message, the rest were videos.
As she sat there stunned, that number sent another message.
Again, it was a video.
Xu Chaomu clicked on it, and this time the noise in the private room was so loud she couldn’t hear anything, only seeing the screen becoming more chaotic…
Shen Chi was still the focus, and this time, he seemed to have had too much to drink, surrounded by several women.
Xu Chaomu didn’t want to watch anymore, especially the last video, which had increasingly inappropriate, R-rated content that was both embarrassing and shocking.
Her hands trembled violently; she wanted to shut off the phone and to be alone with her thoughts.
Just then, as if on cue, the unknown number sent another message.
