Han Xi posted a picture of a meal on her social media account: stir-fried kidney blossoms, scrambled eggs with chives, stir-fried celtuce and yam, oysters, sheep testicles... From then on, the whol...
Chapter 176 You Have a Younger Sister
Bo Siyue never keeps useless pawns by his side. From the moment Gu Hanxi betrayed Bai Xue, he knew that this woman was unreliable.
If Gu Hanxi is allowed to live any longer, she will expose me sooner or later. I might as well use someone else to kill her and shut her up forever.
At the same time, this opportunity should also be used to remind Bai Xue of my methods, so that she will not dare to act rashly.
This Bai Xue is much more shrewd and clever than Gu Hanxi. She cleared away the obstacles for her and will be more obedient in the future.
Bo Siye reminded him, "I don't need you to repay me, I just need you to obey me."
"Of course I will listen to you."
Bai Xue desires fame, fortune, and wealth; she is willing to obey his every command as long as she can obtain them.
Bo Siye smiled knowingly and left. This matter was progressing very smoothly. As long as he followed his plan, he would cause the Shen family to fall from grace and into the abyss.
Three days later.
Gu Hanxi has been buried, but the Gu family is shrouded in gloom. Ding Shan, in particular, cries almost every day, and Gu Hongyi always has a stern face, as if he has lost his soul.
The two elderly members of the Gu family were naturally heartbroken, after all, their beloved granddaughter had died tragically, which was truly heartbreaking.
The two children sensed the somber atmosphere at home and were too afraid to speak.
This couldn't go on, so Han Xi decided to send them to school so they would have more friends to play with during the day.
Previously, we were worried about Han Yumo's condition, but recently she has been able to speak slowly, so perhaps we can give it a try.
With this plan in mind, Han Xi needed to discuss it with Gu Beichen. After all, the two children were staying in the Gu family under the name of his illegitimate children, and when it came time to enroll in school, he would definitely have to step in.
Han Xi knocked on Gu Beichen's door and saw him standing on the windowsill in a daze. She called to him softly.
"Beichen, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Beichen turned around, and there was a red finger mark on his face, indicating that he had just been hit.
Han Xi quickly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Did your aunt hit you again?"
Since Gu Hanxi's death, Ding Shan's emotions have been out of control. She is either crying or angry, and even blames the old lady, blaming them for not helping Gu Hanxi all these years, which led to her death.
The old lady didn't hold it against her because of her grief over losing her daughter; otherwise, she probably would have been kicked out.
Ding Shan dared not show any more displeasure to the two elderly people, so she turned her gaze to Gu Beichen and blamed him for not taking good care of his sister.
From childhood, Gu Hongyi and his wife instilled in him the idea that no matter what his younger sister did, he should spoil her and love her, and never let her suffer any grievances.
It was because of these bullshit ideas that Gu Beichen became her accomplice and hurt many people.
Now that everyone is gone, they still couldn't escape.
"It's nothing serious. The doctor said she's mentally unstable due to the shock, and she'll be fine after a while."
"But she makes advances towards you every day..."
"Don't worry about me. If it makes her feel better, taking a few hits won't hurt her. Anyway, I'm a tough guy, I don't feel pain. What brings you here?"
If it didn't hurt, he wouldn't have been standing at the window in a daze.
Han Xi saw that he was more mature and steady than before, so she felt at ease entrusting Zhuo Qingqian to him.
"I mentioned the child's schooling to you before. There will be some procedures to go through, and you'll need to be there to handle them."
Gu Beichen agreed, saying, "Sending them to school now is a good option. Leave these matters to me. I happen to know a good kindergarten; I'll contact them first."
Han Xi nodded gratefully. Gu Beichen had helped her a lot since she returned, truly acting like an older brother protecting and taking care of her.
She stepped forward and hugged Gu Beichen, saying gratefully, "Don't be sad anymore. You still have a younger sister. Thank you, brother."
Gu Beichen was taken aback, then excitedly asked, holding her shoulders, "Han Xi, what did you just call me?"
Han Xi smiled and said, "Brother, thank you for keeping my secret all these years, and thank you for helping me when I encountered difficulties."
The two had a lot of grudges before, and although Han Xi returned to the Gu family, he just couldn't bring himself to call her that.
Now that all grudges have been resolved, Gu Beichen is worthy of this title.
Gu Beichen laughed and said, "Perfect, I also have a younger sister. Don't worry, I will protect you and your child with my life from now on."
Han Xi nodded. She knew that Gu Beichen was no longer the same person he used to be, and that he was someone she could trust.
The next day, Han Xi drove back to the company and noticed someone following her on the way.
Normally, Han Xi would drive her car to the underground parking garage, but this time she parked it directly at the company's main entrance and asked the security guard at the entrance to park it for her.
As she stepped into the hall, she glanced outside and sensed a pair of eyes watching her.
She has stayed at the Gu family home almost all these past few days and hasn't gone out. Even when she does go out, she is always accompanied by someone, so this situation has never happened before.
Now, whenever she acts alone, something goes wrong, which shows that those people who wanted to capture her a while ago have started to act again.
In that case, the countermeasures she and Shen Jiheng had discussed should be implemented.
Han Xi returned to his office and sent a message to Shen Jiheng, informing him that the plan was about to begin and that preparations should be made in advance.
Han Xi sent the message but received no response. She thought Shen Jiheng was busy in a meeting, but just over ten minutes later, the office door was violently pushed open.
Han Xi was startled by the voice. She looked up and saw Shen Jiheng looking anxious, and couldn't help but frown.
"Shen Jiheng, what are you doing? This is my company. Next time you come, please at least knock on the door."
Shen Jiheng walked straight up to her, placed his hands on the desk, and looked at her.
"I've thought about it, and your plan is too dangerous. I don't agree."
Han Xi frowned: "What are you saying? If we don't do it this way, how can we catch the person behind it?"
Shen Jiheng shook his head again; he simply didn't want anything else to happen before his eyes.
"I will continue the investigation, and from now on, I will drive you to and from get off work every day. If I am not available, I will have Assistant Leng accompany you."
Shen Jiheng seemed to have made up his mind; he would not allow Han Xi to take any risks.
But Han Xi didn't want him to do these things.
“If that’s the case, you don’t need to do it. The Gu family has bodyguards, and besides, my brother can pick me up and drop me off.”
"Your brother? You mean Gu Beichen? What kind of ability could he possibly have?"
Why is she so close to Gu Beichen now? Even though they are cousins, it makes Shen Jiheng uncomfortable.
Hearing his hostile words, Han Xi said unhappily, "Don't think you're the most capable in Chongqing. My brother is too. If you're not willing to help me with this, then I'll have to ask him. Anyway, I don't want to wait any longer."
Han Xi couldn't let the people behind the scenes follow her all day long, because it would be terrible if they discovered her secrets. That's why she wanted to resolve things quickly.
Seeing that she was determined to do this, Shen Jiheng knew he couldn't persuade her. He pondered for a moment, staring at Han Xi, when he suddenly fell into a daze.
Han Xi felt extremely uncomfortable seeing him looking her up and down and said, "Why are you staring at me with such a strange look? Just say what you want to say."
A satisfied smile appeared on Shen Jiheng's lips; he had indeed come up with a good idea.
