Chapter 160 Knowing Her Secret

He has loved others deeply before and should know the pain of unrequited love. Moreover, people like them, who were cruelly separated yet still deeply in love with each other, deserve even more respect.

Shen Jiheng could not erase the fact that the two had once loved each other.

Regardless of why they separated, things have come to this point, and seeing each other again might be a final farewell. He shouldn't have stopped them like this.

"Shen Jiheng, just say what you're thinking. If I've done something wrong, you can tell me."

"I just think you're meddling too much."

A single sentence struck Han Xi's chest, and she silently released her grip. Perhaps she really shouldn't have interfered in other people's family affairs.

Shen Jiheng took a few steps and then stopped. He turned around and saw Han Xi standing there in a daze. He sighed and walked back.

“I know you sympathize with them, but Grandpa was the one who stayed by her side all those years. Grandma was in poor health during that time, and Grandpa took good care of her every day until she recovered. Don’t those things count?”

Shen Jiheng grew up with his parents, so he naturally saw how his grandfather treated his grandmother.

If we let her see her former lover, what would that say to the old man?

Han Xi said, "It's understandable that you have your own concerns, but Grandpa Bo doesn't have much time left. I just want them to see each other one last time and put an end to their regrets."

Shen Jiheng looked troubled, and Han Xi tried to comfort him.

“Think about it, if Grandpa Bo were to leave like this, they wouldn’t even get to see him one last time. It would definitely be a lifelong regret for Grandma. I can tell she wanted to see Grandpa Bo, but she was too embarrassed to say it out of consideration for the younger generation.”

Thinking about how the old lady had devoted her whole life to the Shen family, Shen Jiheng began to waver.

"I'll discuss this with her before making a decision."

"How could Grandma possibly say it herself? I hope you will think about it yourself."

If the old lady were willing to admit it, she wouldn't have waited until today without saying anything.

Han Xi could sense that she had been suppressing herself for too long, and she was truly afraid that after Grandpa Bo passed away, she would suffer from regret for the rest of her life.

Seeing how concerned she was about this matter, Shen Jiheng couldn't help but ask, "Could it be the Bo family's idea?"

If it were Bo Siye's wish, Shen Jiheng would never let him have his way.

Han Xi quickly explained, "It's really not. This matter has nothing to do with him. Actually, he has the same attitude as you. He doesn't want me to ask any more questions. I originally wanted to talk to Grandpa Bo, but he told me to leave."

If two younger generations share the same views, how can two older people ever meet?

Seeing her sincere words, Shen Jiheng assumed she wasn't lying. Ever since learning about what happened back then, he had also felt uneasy.

He simply respected the old man and didn't want to do anything that would harm him.

"I understand. I'll think about it and give you an answer when I've made up my mind."

Han Xi wanted to remind him that Grandpa Bo's condition might not be able to wait too long, but Shen Jiheng had already softened his tone, and saying too much would seem deliberate.

Han Xi could only nod: "Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Shen Jiheng nodded slightly and left, intending to bring the two closer, but it ended in another unpleasant parting.

Shen Jiheng was in a hurry to leave for another reason: he wanted to know what secret Shen Qingzhou held.

He sensed something was wrong from the moment Han Xi received the message and expressed panic.

Although Han Xi brought up her grandmother during the meal, she could sense that Han Xi was still worried about the text message.

What was it that she couldn't let him know? The more she hid it, the more Shen Jiheng wanted to know the answer.

Han Xi was equally anxious. Her palms were sweating when she got back to the car, wondering what secret Shen Qingzhou had discovered about her.

She took a deep breath to calm herself. If he really knew about the child, he would have come to her door to threaten her directly. The fact that he didn't do that must mean something else was going on.

Han Xi thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a solution, so he had no choice but to drive back first.

In the Gu family compound, the old man was playing games with his two children, while the old lady Gu sat in a chair watching them with a smile.

Grandma Gu noticed her coming back and waved.

"Han Xi, you're back so early today."

"Once I've finished my work at the company, I want to come back and spend time with you all."

The two children ran over when they heard their mother's voice. Han Yuxuan took her hand and asked, "Mom, when will you have time to play with us?"

After returning to China, Han Xi never took the siblings out to play by herself; she always had Gu Beichen accompany them.

The main concern was running into acquaintances, especially members of the Shen family.

Han Yumo blinked at her, and although she didn't ask, she probably meant the same thing.

Grandma Gu said, "Han Xi, now everyone knows they are Bei Chen's children, so you don't need to be too careful. As their aunt, it's fine to take them out."

Han Xi was still worried, especially about the secret Shen Qingzhou had mentioned. Whatever it was, it made her uneasy.

"Once this week is over, I'll take them on a trip to the next city. I hope my grandparents can come with us too."

Seeing that she was still worried and not wanting to put pressure on her, Grandma Gu nodded and said, "Alright then, we'll leave this to you to arrange."

Han Xi smiled and walked to her side, asking, "Grandma, did you go out today? Did you run into anyone?"

Grandma Gu shook her head: "We haven't left the house yet. Beichen went to the company early this morning, and the two children are playing games at home. After what happened last time, we've been keeping an eye on our surroundings. There's no suspicious person. Has something happened?"

Han Xi pondered for a moment, shook his head, and smiled, "It's nothing, I'm just always worried. It seems I'm being too nervous."

Grandma Gu took her hand and patted it gently, "Don't worry, even if something really happens, your grandparents will take care of it for you."

Han Xi smiled gently, deeply moved by the affection she felt from the two elderly people after returning to China.

She just couldn't understand what Shen Qingzhou was trying to do.

By evening, Han Xi received another threatening message from him, vowing to cause chaos and unrest.

Han Xi can handle anything except for matters concerning children.

Shen Jiheng had Qin Chuan investigate for an entire afternoon before receiving accurate information at nightfall.

"President, we've found out."

Shen Jiheng looked over curiously, and Qin Chuan said, "Master has discovered the secret of Miss Han's family."

"The Han family's secret? With their family in such a state, what secrets could they possibly have left?"

"Our hackers cracked the old man's computer system and found that someone had provided him with information that Han Xiao and her siblings were not Han Yue's biological children. It seems that the old man is unaware of this."

Shen Jiheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after hearing this. He didn't care about the siblings' identities; this secret was simply irrelevant to him.

Seeing that he remained silent, Qin Chuan said again, "President, should we step in to stop this?"

Shen Jiheng frowned. If Shen Qingzhou were to expose this matter, it would indeed cause trouble for Han Xi.

When the time comes, whether it's Han Yue or Han Xiao and her brother, they will definitely blame Han Xi for this.

Shen Jiheng sighed: "Where is that person? Ask him to come see me."

He really didn't want to pass this trouble on to Han Xi, so he decided to let Han Xi handle it himself.
