Chapter 256 Tearing Off the Face

Shen Jiheng immediately corrected her: "You're wrong. I've long lost all confidence in front of you."

Han Xi smiled and shook her head: "Really? I didn't see it at all."

The two exchanged a smile; many things no longer needed to be said, they already understood each other.

It was already 9 p.m. when they got back to Chongqing. As soon as they got off the highway, Shen Jiheng received a call from home. He hung up the phone, his face ashen, and looked apologetically at Han Xi.

"Han Xi, I'm sorry I can't take you back to the Gu family home; I have to go to the old house."

"What's going on?"

Shen Jiheng hesitated for a moment and said, "My mother said he went to the old house to cause trouble again."

Han Xi knew who he was referring to, recalling what Yan Si had told her a couple of days ago: the last two days of the month were the final deadline for their overseas company.

There's probably no way to prove that those charges were fabricated, so their company needs to be permanently shut down.

"Then I'll go with you."

Shen Jiheng's brow furrowed; he didn't want her to get involved in those bad things.

“If you go back now, you should still see the two children; they are waiting for you.”

He knew that Han Xi was already in a bad mood, and if they went back to the old house together, they would definitely face those bad things again, which would only increase her burden.

Han Xi smiled and said, "You've helped me a lot, so I'd like to do something with you too."

Shen Jiheng's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise; Han Xi was taking the initiative to approach him.

Of course, he wouldn't push it away. He shook hands with him excitedly and said, "Okay, let's go together."

Han Xi nodded. Although she didn't know why she made this decision, she was acting on her inner thoughts.

Back at the old house, I saw two cars parked outside, one of which had a lot of words pasted on it.

Han Xi signaled the driver to stop the car first, and she got out out of the car out of curiosity. Shen Jiheng followed closely behind, worried about her.

Han Xi frowned as she read the words on the car: "Mantanghong Real Estate Agency? Looks like your dad's up to something big again."

Shen Jiheng sighed and said, "Don't use that word to call him anymore. Calling him a bastard is more appropriate."

Han Xi seemed to have a premonition of something. The two walked into the courtyard and heard fierce cursing coming from inside the house.

Shen Jiheng jogged into the house, but was stopped at the door by two men in uniform who brazenly issued orders.

"Stop! You're not allowed in."

Shen Jiheng's anger flared up, and he spat out two words: "You're asking for death!"

"What kind of thing dares to stop me?" Shen Jiheng threw a punch at the two men's faces and kicked them over.

When Shen Jiheng entered the house, he was dumbfounded. He saw a mess on the floor and several men and women in work clothes pressing the old lady and his mother down on the sofa, while Shen Qingzhou was holding the property certificate and land deed.

Shen Qingzhou was also startled when she saw Shen Jiheng rushing in, and hurriedly put the things in her hands behind her back.

"Ji Heng, you're here. Quickly help me deal with this bastard."

The old lady was heartbroken over her son's audacity; he had the audacity to bring people up here to sell her old house.

She refused, so Shen Qingzhou had her men hold them down while she went to find the property certificate, which nearly angered the old woman to death.

Madam Shen, with tears still on her face, shouted angrily, "Ji Heng, this heartless man even dares to lay a hand on Grandma. You don't need to be polite to him. I support you in hitting him."

"I'll take responsibility if I kill him," the old woman declared, showing just how angry she was.

Shen Jiheng clenched his fist and stepped forward, but Shen Qingzhou quickly had someone stop him.

But these people were his opponents; they were kicked away before they even had a chance to get close. Coupled with his imposing aura, no one dared to approach him.

Shen Jiheng knew that he was beyond redemption, but he wouldn't do something so heinous.

Seeing Shen Jiheng angrily approaching her, Shen Qingzhou was frightened and retreated.

"Don't come any closer. I was forced into this situation, and I didn't want to do it."

Shen Jiheng ignored his words and strode toward him with murderous intent.

“I used all the resources I had abroad, and they only gave me a one-day delay. If the funds are not made up by tomorrow, my company will officially go bankrupt.”

Shen Jiheng clenched his fists, his knuckles making a dangerous creaking sound. He had tolerated Shen Qingzhou for a long time, but this time he had truly crossed the final line.

Seeing that he was serious, Shen Qingzhou hurriedly reached out to stop him from getting closer.

“Ji Heng, I just want to use the old house as collateral temporarily. I promise you that once my company gets through this crisis, I will get it back immediately.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Jiheng threw a punch, the force of which knocked Shen Qingzhou to the ground.

He looked up angrily, only to be punched hard in the face by Shen Jiheng, causing him to spit out blood.

Shen Qingzhou coughed twice and glared at him angrily.

Although Yan Si kept trying to persuade him to get rid of Shen Jiheng and seize his property.

Shen Qingzhou was naturally tempted and had this idea.

But when it came to the last step, he still couldn't bear it. After all, he had abandoned him for ten years, and now he was going to get rid of his own son. He still had reservations.

However, Shen Jiheng's two punches shattered all his guilt.

"Do you still feel wronged? Look at the mess you've made, what your sick mother is going through."

Shen Qingzhou stood up, leaning against the wall, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said through gritted teeth.

“I’ve already explained to you that I’m in a desperate situation, and you refuse to help me, so I have no choice but to resort to this method, and this is how you treat me.”

"You have only yourself to blame. You can't blame anyone else, and you have no right to do these things."

Shen Qingzhou nodded vigorously; these words had extinguished the last vestige of conscience in his heart.

“Very good, Shen Jiheng, you are very well said. I will remember everything you have done.”

After finishing speaking, Shen Qingzhou threw the things in her hand on the ground, looked at everyone in the room and said, "Since you all wish me dead, then I'll leave. I will remember this and never set foot in this house again."

Shen Jiheng stopped him: "You think you can leave so easily? Put everything you messed up back in its place."

"Shen Jiheng, don't push your luck!" This was the last bit of face they were going to give him.

Shen Jiheng said angrily, "Giving you two punches is too lenient. For what you've done, you should go to hell."

"Make him leave!!" the old lady roared, waving her hand and saying, "Ji Heng told him to get out, and he's getting better and better at it. I never want to see him again. Get out of here right now!"

Seeing that the old lady was losing control of her emotions, Shen Jiheng pointed to the door and said, "Get out of here right now."

Shen Qingzhou gritted her teeth and walked out. She met Han Xi at the door. Han Xi's eyes were narrowed into slits, filled with hatred.

Shen Jiheng could clearly help him, but they did nothing and instead ruined his life.

Han Xi turned her head away from him. She didn't want to get involved in the feud between the Shen family, but she could sense that Shen Qingzhou's aura was stronger than usual.

Thinking about the situation just now, Shen Qingzhou realized that she had completely broken ties with the Shen family, and she didn't know what would happen in the future.

"Just you wait and see, I'll make you all regret it!"

Shen Qingzhou left after uttering a harsh remark, leaving Han Xi feeling uneasy.
