Chapter 310 Do something for her

Shen Mingzhu wanted to use the child in her womb to control Shen Jiheng, but she didn't expect it to anger him instead. Now she realizes that nothing she says will make a difference.

However, Shen Jiheng had no intention of speaking to her properly; instead, he increased the pressure on his hands.

Seeing that Shen Mingzhu's face had turned pale, Han Xi pushed Qin Chuan's hand.

"Do you really want to see Shen Jiheng kill his own sister? He's out of control in his anger, but you're all sober. Let me through now."

Even if Shen Mingzhu is to be punished, this is not the way to do it.

Seeing the seriousness of the situation, Qin Chuan had no choice but to let go.

"Ms. Han, please try to persuade the president."

Han Xi nodded and ran forward quickly. Seeing that Shen Mingzhu's face had turned pale, he was amazed that Shen Jiheng could really do such a thing.

He grabbed Shen Jiheng's arm tightly: "Shen Jiheng, let go! You're going to strangle her!"

Unexpectedly, Shen Jiheng said, "Such a scourge is harmful even when alive, it's better if he's dead."

Han Xi saw that his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had lost his mind. It was the first time she had ever seen him like this.

It must be because he had been suppressing his feelings for too long, and this is when it finally exploded.

Han Xi stood on tiptoe, cupped his face, and turned him towards her.

"Ji Heng, look me in the eyes and listen carefully to what I'm saying."

Shen Jiheng's eyes slowly regained focus. Han Xi took a deep breath and said, "Let go now. We'll decide on everything tomorrow. I'm begging you."

Han Xi didn't know if she was destined to be entangled with the Shen family for the rest of her life, which was why she begged the brother and sister one night, all to calm them down.

Shen Jiheng reduced the pressure on his hands, and only when he heard Shen Mingzhu suddenly gasp for breath did Han Xi breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Shen Jiheng had not completely let go, so she could only continue to persuade him.

"Ji Heng, let her go first, or she really will die. Let's reconsider and talk things over again, okay? You said you would listen to me, so show me."

Shen Jiheng's vision was filled with Han Xi's figure, and his expression returned to normal.

He turned his head to look at Shen Mingzhu, whose face was turning purple, and his hand loosened, causing him to collapse.

Shen Mingzhu gasped for breath and lay helplessly on the ground.

She probably never dreamed that her own brother would actually lay a hand on her.

Han Xi gave Qin Chuan a look, signaling them to take Shen Mingzhu away to prevent Shen Jiheng from seeing her and losing control again.

When Qin Chuan kindly went to help her up, Shen Mingzhu angrily shouted, "Get away from me! Don't touch me! You executioners, you won't even spare a pregnant woman like me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jiheng's sharp gaze struck her, startling her so much that she immediately stood up and obediently left with Qin Chuan.

Han Xi patted him on the shoulder: "Calm down."

Shen Jiheng's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a sense of uncertainty.

"Sorry, I startled you just now."

It was indeed rare to see Shen Jiheng lose control like this. Han Xi wasn't frightened; instead, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.

Shen Jiheng has always taken care of her emotions, staying by her side to comfort her when she encounters problems, and now it's her turn to do those things.

"I'm not scared, let's go back first."

After this incident, Han Xi gained a new understanding of him. Shen Jiheng, who appeared cold and ruthless on the outside, actually had a soft heart.

The two people in the car held hands without saying a word, but that spoke volumes.

It was too late to go back home, so Shen Jiheng took her hand and led her to the door of the room.

Can I hold you while we sleep tonight?

Shen Jiheng was like a lifeless man at this moment, needing someone to recharge him.

"Don't worry, I'm just holding you, I definitely won't do anything else."

She didn't know why she felt soft-hearted towards him, but Han Xi nodded and followed him inside.

Just as he said, Shen Jiheng obediently held her and did nothing else.

I could tell he was in a low mood and was probably still worried about Shen Mingzhu.

Han Xi could completely understand his feelings. She had never forgotten the feeling of being abandoned by her biological father and having him try to kill her.

Shen Jiheng dealt with his father himself, and now it's his only sister's turn. It's bound to be terrible.

"Don't think about anything tonight, just get a good night's sleep."

Shen Jiheng pulled his arms back, a cold smile appearing on his face.

Thank you for being by my side.

Han Xi patted his hand as a reward.

next day

Aunt Wang knocked on the door just as dawn broke.

"Young master, the madam has arrived and says she wants to see you."

Shen Jiheng opened his eyes, and Han Xi sat up, checked the time, and said, "It's not even seven o'clock yet, and Auntie is already here. It must be about Shen Mingzhu."

Shen Jiheng nodded. With the matter escalating to such an extent, it was only a matter of time before word got out.

"You keep sleeping, I'll go downstairs and check on things."

Shen Jiheng lifted the blanket, and Han Xi grabbed his arm.

“I’ll go with you. After all, I’m a victim too, and this whole thing is related to me.”

"I didn't want to put you in a difficult position."

"I believe your aunt won't make things difficult for us. Let's hear what she has to say first."

Seeing Han Xi's sincerity, Shen Jiheng had no choice but to take her down with him.

In the living room, Madam Shen was anxiously rubbing her hands together. When she saw the two of them, she hurriedly went to greet them.

"Han Xi, are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Han Xi was very pleased to see that she cared about her health first.

"Auntie, I'm fine, don't worry."

"That's good. I really didn't expect Mingzhu to be so audacious as to do something like this."

Shen Jiheng asked directly, "Mom, you came here so early in the morning, you didn't come just to criticize her in front of me, what do you want to do?"

Madam Shen seemed somewhat embarrassed. She always helped those in the right, not her own family, and this time, the situation had fallen on her own daughter, which put her in a difficult position.

Madam Shen took a deep breath and grasped Han Xi's hand.

"As a mother myself, I believe Han Xi understands my feelings. I also hate Mingzhu for doing such a thing, but I can't just abandon her."

“I have already let her go, but she didn’t know how to cherish the opportunity and actually attacked Han Xi again. If I let her go again, given her personality, she will do the same thing again.”

Shen Mingzhu had completely disillusioned him and was unwilling to give him another chance.

Madam Shen said gravely, "Then what do you plan to do with her? Are you going to kill her?"

"Of course I wouldn't do such a thing, but I can make sure she can never harm anyone."

Shen Jiheng's eyes were cold; he had already made up his mind.

Madam Shen was terrified of such a thing happening, so she pleaded, "Ji Heng, I've never begged anyone in my life. This time, I'm begging you to let me handle Mingzhu."

Back then, when Shen Qingzhou abandoned his wife and children to leave her, Madam Shen never begged him to stay. She always faced any problem with strength, but this time she bowed her head for her daughter.

Shen Jiheng frowned and reminded her seriously, "But have you ever thought about this? She can also harm people. This time, she didn't admit her mistake; instead, she blamed us."

"Don't worry, I've already come up with a plan. Your grandmother has an island that's isolated from the outside world. I've discussed it with her, and we'll send her there and arrange for someone to watch over her so she can reflect on her actions."

After speaking, Madam Shen cast a pleading look into her eyes. Everything she had done was for her only daughter to live a good life. She didn't want her to end up like her father. She was doing something for her daughter as a mother.
