Chapter 254 Not Every Parent Loves Their Child

Han Xi came to Zhuo Qingqian not to ask her to step forward, but to seek the truth and solve the problem herself.

Zhuo Qingqian looked somewhat guilty and took Han Xi's hand, saying, "Xi Xi, I know you have a sense of justice. I'm really sorry for dragging you into this."

Han Xi pinched her cheek and laughed, "You're being too formal. We're best friends. Your business is my business. Besides, this case has been through me, so I'm going to see it through to the end."

Gu Beichen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her step forward and put his arm around Zhuo Qingqian's shoulder.

“Honey, now that Han Xi is here, you can rest assured.”

Shen Jiheng also said, "I will accompany her throughout the process and help her handle this matter."

Zhuo Qingqian cast a grateful glance at him. Only with Shen Jiheng by her side could she feel completely at ease.

Han Xi knew this matter couldn't be delayed, so he asked for Wang Wei's address and immediately decided to go check on the situation.

The thing she hates most in her life is a man who abandons his wife after she has shared his hardships. If he really wants to abandon his wife after receiving the bonus, Han Xi will definitely not let him succeed.

Before getting on the bus, Shen Jiheng was on the phone with Qin Chuan discussing work matters, and he continued talking to Qin Chuan after getting on the bus.

Ten minutes later, Shen Jiheng finally put down his phone. Han Xi was grateful to see him following along despite how busy he was, but also felt a little guilty.

"Are you really okay with abandoning the company like this? You don't have to do this."

Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "Are you worried about me?"

“I just don’t want you to abandon the company for me; it would make me very uneasy.”

"I should have told you before, but for me, your affairs are the most important."

Han Xi's heart raced as she gazed into his tender eyes, then she looked away and looked ahead.

She coughed lightly to cover her panic and changed the subject: "What do you think Wang Wei will do first after he gets this money?"

Shen Jiheng rested his elbow on the car window, his hand casually supporting his chin, and looked at her, saying, "Based on my understanding of this kind of man, he will definitely buy a luxury car."

Han Xi shook his head: "Shouldn't we find a doctor for the sick child first? Besides, this money can definitely cure the child."

Shen Jiheng shook his head and said bluntly, "You have to understand, not every parent in the world loves their children."

These words stumped Han Xi, who looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Everyone says that even tigers don't eat their cubs, so how could there be parents who don't love their children?"

"It's easy for Wang Wei to have another child at his age, but he might not have the chance to earn this much money in his next life. Do you think he will use this money to save his child?"

These words made Han Xi frown. Perhaps it was because she hadn't handled a case for so long that she had forgotten how many cases of child abuse she had seen in the past.

Thinking of Wang Wei's expression when he asked those questions, that should have been the answer.

The most terrifying thing in this world is indeed the human heart.

"I just hope we're all wrong."

Shen Jiheng smiled but remained silent, it seemed that she would only believe it if she saw it with her own eyes.

After driving for more than an hour, we arrived in town. The sky was already tinged with the red glow of sunset. Han Xi looked up at the sunset and felt melancholy.

Shen Jiheng suddenly grabbed her hand, drawing a puzzled look from Han Xi.

Shen Jiheng said casually, "It's getting late, we need to hurry."

"Then you don't need to hold my hand." Han Xi tried to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly and she couldn't shake him off.

"I'm afraid you'll get lost. Besides, being led by the hand won't hurt you. There's no one I know here, so what are you afraid of?"

Han Xi was both amused and exasperated; this person was spouting nonsense again.

She rarely bothered with such nonsense with Shen Jiheng; if he wanted to hold her hand, she would let him.

The warmth of their hands traveled to each other's hearts, and when they looked at each other, they could clearly feel the change in each other.

Just as Han Xi was about to pull his hand back, he heard excited cheers coming from ahead.

"Wow, that's a BMW! Wang Wei, you're amazing, you just drove it back."

"This car is so cool, why don't you take the guys for a spin?"

"Brother Wang, you won the grand prize and bought a new car. Treat us guys to drinks tonight."

......

Compliments and laughter surrounded Wang Wei, who was dressed in a suit and tie.

Wang Wei, who used to be looked down upon, is now the envy of everyone.

But the laughter was soon broken by a cry. Gao Juan was seen hitting Wang Wei's car with an iron rod, but before she could get close, she was stopped by Wang Wei and several other people.

Wang Wei was so angry that his face turned red, and he pushed her to the ground.

"Are you crazy, woman? How dare you smash my new car?"

"You're the one who's crazy! You promised to give money for the child's medical treatment, but you went and bought a car instead. Give me the money right now!"

Wang Wei, mimicking others, tugged at his suit jacket and said smugly, "That sickly guy, even if he's cured, who knows how many years he'll live? Why waste my money?"

Gao Juan looked at him in disbelief, never expecting that he would become a completely different person after receiving the money.

She stood up and questioned, "When you went to see Attorney Han, you specifically asked me to prepare the medical records for her to see. You also told me that you would use all the money for the child and promised to give it to me for safekeeping."

"So what if I said that? If I didn't say it like that, how could I have aroused her sympathy? How could she have gone to such lengths to help me get that money back?"

Han Xi narrowed his eyes. So it was just a trick to fool him.

As Gao Juan spoke, she walked towards him and questioned, "Do you really not care whether the child lives or dies? He's called you 'Dad' for ten years, don't you have any conscience at all?"

Wang Wei looked at her with disdain; his current net worth was far beyond what this woman could ever hope to reach.

"Stop talking nonsense. I've had enough of you and your son all these years. We're getting a divorce tomorrow. I'll give you 20,000 yuan as a settlement, out of consideration for our past as husband and wife. I don't want that shabby house anymore."

Gao Juan then realized that his scheming to get the bonus was all a means to get a divorce from her.

"Wang Wei, you're not even human."

"You can curse me all you want, but I'm definitely getting a divorce."

After Wang Wei finished speaking, he turned around and opened the car door. Gao Juan rushed forward and grabbed his hand, but Wang Wei slapped her to the ground.

"Don't you even realize how dirty you are? Don't get my clothes dirty."

These words drew knowing laughter from the onlookers; everyone in town knew about this woman's past.

Unable to bear it any longer, Han Xi stepped forward, pushed aside the onlookers, and helped Gao Juan, who had fallen to the ground, up.

Just as Wang Wei started the car, a brick suddenly flew towards him. With a loud 'bang,' the windshield shattered, and the huge noise startled everyone, causing them to back away.

Wang Wei stormed out of the car, swallowing all the profanities he was about to utter when he saw Han Xi.

Seeing his beloved car smashed to pieces, his heart shattered.

"Attorney Han, why did you come all the way from Chongqing to my little town? And this is your friend, right? How did he manage to smash my car?"

If it weren't for Shen Jiheng's extraordinary demeanor, Wang Wei wouldn't have adopted such a humble attitude.
