Chapter 21 My Husband's Backing

Han Yuejin, his daughter, and the shareholders' expressions changed, and the handwriting they had just signed became distorted.

Han Xi never expected that Shen Jiheng would appear at Han Shu Group at such a crucial moment.

"As Mrs. Shen," Shen Jiheng looked her up and down, checking for injuries, as if possessed by the monk Tang Sanzang, "when you go out, don't you know you should bring a few more people with you?"

He said that, but deep down he was still scared.

Fortunately, he still managed to use the information Qin Chuan had given him, which revealed the undercurrents within the Han Shu Group, allowing him to arrive as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he dared not imagine what the consequences would have been.

Han Xi bit her lip, gazing at the tender and affectionate Shen Jiheng, a bitter feeling welling up in her heart.

Han Xiao's words made her suddenly realize that divorcing Shen Jiheng meant she had no ability to compete with Han Yuejin.

By insisting on divorce and completely losing the protection of being Shen Jiheng's wife, Han Yuejin could easily take control of the Han Shu Group, and his mother's life's work would become the dowry for his mistress.

If she temporarily backs down and keeps Shen Jiheng calm, making him think that what she did before was just playing hard to get, then she can continue to maintain this loveless marriage until she completely gains control of the Han Shu Group...

She was struggling internally, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her lips quivering as she uttered soft sounds.

"Shen Jiheng, they bullied me."

Shen Jiheng didn't expect her to complain, thinking that given her style of doing things, she would go and get revenge herself...

But Han Xi's submission actually put him in a very good mood.

After a moment of surprise, the man lowered his body and leaned close to her, his slightly teasing voice brushing past her earlobe and into her ear.

"Am I in a position where I should stand up for you?"

Han Xi felt the ambiguous touch of the man behind her and knew that Shen Jiheng was intentionally seducing her.

"Shen Jiheng..." she called softly.

Since he returned from his business trip, he had only heard her call him that once. After that, she either called him by his name directly or addressed him more formally as "President Shen." He was thoroughly tired of this feeling.

"Call me husband." He went along with it and coaxed softly.

Han Xi pursed her lips, and after a long while, she steeled herself and squeezed out the term that was now awkward and difficult for her to utter, "Husband."

Shen Jiheng raised an eyebrow slightly, like a lion being stroked, and stroked her hair with his palm before placing a kiss between her brows.

A gentle, cool touch landed on Han Xi's brow, and her body tensed instantly.

Everyone was stunned.

Didn't they say that Shen Jiheng was going to divorce Han Xi?

What's going on? Why are they kissing?!

The two shareholders felt a chill run down their spines, suddenly relieved that they had been a little slow and hadn't finished signing the equity transfer agreement.

Han Xiao was someone who dared to cause trouble but lacked the ability to take responsibility. She tried to slip away through another door while no one was paying attention, not wanting Shen Jiheng to cause her any trouble, but the bodyguards stopped her.

Shen Jiheng got up and pushed his wheelchair back to the conference room table.

As they drew closer, a suffocating sense of oppression followed, and Han Yuejin's panic intensified.

Could the news Han Xiao heard from outside be false?

Shen Jiheng doesn't seem to be thinking about divorce at all when he's with Han Xi!

The dignified President Shen was pushing Han Xi's wheelchair...

Even though he was the father-in-law, the elder, he completely lost his previous arrogant and domineering demeanor when facing his son-in-law, and asked in a trembling voice, "Mr. Chen! What brings you here!"

He paused, then tentatively continued, "Mr. Shen, I, your unfilial daughter, have been foolish and reckless, ruining your good marriage. I'll stand up for her and you two should get a divorce! Send her back to the Han family, and I'll teach her a lesson. I'll make sure she never bothers you again!"
