Chapter 324 Digging a pit for her to fall into

Zhuo Qingqian knew how stubborn she was. When faced with such sad things, she would only keep them to herself and bear them alone. She needed someone who understood her to be by her side.

Han Xi stepped forward and gently hugged her.

Zhuo Qingqian patted her shoulder encouragingly, "Don't worry, he's such a strong person, he'll get better soon. Besides, he did a lot of evil in the past, so consider this a trial."

Han Xi was both amused and exasperated: "Is that how you comfort people?"

“I’m telling the truth. We just asked Professor Yang, and he said that President Shen has a very strong will and he will be fine.”

Zhuo Qingqian only said comforting words; she had heard that the situation was very serious, but she was just trying to put Han Xi at ease.

Han Xi nodded: "I won't let anything happen to her either."

As the group was talking, Bai Xue walked in carrying a lunchbox. Her eyes lit up when she saw Gu Beichen, and she walked over to him enthusiastically.

"Brother Beichen, you're back in China. Is your wife feeling better?"

"Who's your brother? Don't call me that so affectionately."

Gu Beichen has never acknowledged having this younger sister.

Back then, he heard too many bad things about Bai Xue from Gu Hanxi, and had a very bad impression of her. In addition, Bai Xue had ruined the relationship between Shen Jiheng and Han Xi, so he had already sentenced her to death in his heart.

Bai Xue stood there awkwardly, frozen in place. She still didn't understand why the Gu family disliked her so much.

Even though she was born out of wedlock, she never did anything to betray the Gu family.

For more than a decade, she tried every means to gain their approval, and this was indeed the result.

She said, feeling wronged, "I'm sorry, I was just too happy to see you all and got carried away for a moment."

Zhuo Qingqian cast a weary glance at her. She was always direct, and asked coldly, "What are you doing here? You're not welcome."

Bai Xue held up the food box in her hand and said with a forced smile, "I made dinner for your mother and brought it over specially."

As she spoke, she cast a pleading look at Han Xi, knowing that Han Xi would surely speak up for her.

Han Xi replied, "Your aunt has already gone back; she can only appreciate your kindness in her heart."

Bai Xue gritted her teeth to hide her displeasure. It was clearly Madam Shen who asked her to cook, but she went back to her own place in the blink of an eye. Wasn't she just playing her for a fool?

She forced a smile in the face of Han Xi's scrutinizing gaze.

“It seems that your aunt is working too hard. Taking care of a patient is very tiring. I can stay at the hospital as a caregiver.”

Han Xi asked, "Do you understand medical care? Or can you help him with the work of a caregiver?"

Bai Xue was just putting on an act; she wanted to stay and wait for an opportunity to make her move.

“I have some nursing knowledge, and besides, I’m willing to do anything to take care of Brother Ji Heng.”

Han Xi looked touched. "Seeing how sincere and kind you are, how could I bear to refuse?"

Bai Xue was overjoyed: "So, you're willing to let me take care of Brother Ji Heng?"

Han Xi looked at her meaningfully and said seriously, "Since you have studied nursing and can take care of people, and there are two bodyguards lying next to you, both of whom are Ji Heng's confidants and just as important as him, then I'll trouble you to take care of them."

Bai Xue was stunned when Han Xi said that; she had no desire to take care of those disgusting men.

It turns out that she said those things deliberately to lure him into a trap.

Han Xi smiled gently and said, "What, are you unwilling? But you just acted so lovingly."

Gu Beichen also took the opportunity to say, "I used to hear Hanxi say that you always liked to bully people behind their backs. It seems that I misunderstood you. I didn't know you had such a kind heart."

Bai Xue gritted her teeth; their back-and-forth seemed to be digging a pit for her.

Zhuo Qingqian then used reverse psychology, saying, "I think you siblings should just give up. How could someone like her have the heart to help others? It's just wishful thinking."

Bai Xue panicked when she heard this. If it could salvage her image, what did a little hardship matter?

Besides, as long as I stay in the hospital, I'll always have a chance to get close to Shen Jiheng.

“I’m fine with it. They are the ones protecting Brother Ji Heng. Now that he’s injured, they definitely need to take good care of him. Just leave it to me.”

"Are you sure there's no problem?" Han Xi clearly didn't believe her.

To save face, Bai Xue nodded firmly.

"Miss Han, please don't worry. Just tell me what needs to be done."

Very good, that's exactly what Han Xi was waiting for.

“Miss Bai’s words have really touched me. It seems that I misunderstood you in the past. After this incident, you have completely changed my opinion of you. Then I would like to trouble you to take over from the caregiver next door now.”

"Okay, I'll go right away. I won't let you down."

Bai Xue ran out confidently, while the three people in the ward looked at each other and grinned mischievously.

Zhuo Qingqian assured her, "I guarantee she won't last until tomorrow morning; she'll find an excuse to go back."

Gu Beichen stroked his chin and pondered for two seconds before saying, "Judging from her posture, she should be able to hold out for a day."

Han Xi smiled and shook her head. She didn't care how long Bai Xue could hold out; she just wanted to make sure that this person wouldn't dare to show up here again.

I believe that after she has personally cared for patients, she will never dare to bring up this topic again.

When Bai Xue arrived next door, she was completely dumbfounded. After the caregiver finished explaining what she needed to do, all she wanted to do was strangle Han Xi.

She must have known these things, which is why she deliberately encouraged me to do it, and deliberately disgusted her.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and change the urine bag. They have two tests tomorrow morning, and you need to prepare in advance."

The caregiver showed her the precautions, and Bai Xue knew what to do, so she immediately started gagging.

If she were to go and tell Han Xi now that she was feeling unwell and unable to perform her duties, they would definitely laugh at her. She could only grit her teeth and endure it until she could get close to Shen Jiheng.

That evening, Han Xi asked Gu Beichen to take Zhuo Qingqian home to rest. They went straight to the hospital as soon as they got off the plane, worried that Zhuo Qingqian's body couldn't handle it.

Han Xi didn't let Madam Shen come over either, to avoid the old lady finding out about the situation, and could only let her come out during the day.

Seeing that the person on the hospital bed showed no signs of waking up, Han Xi held his hand and gently massaged him to loosen his muscles and bones.

"Ji Heng, I've heard that even people in a coma can hear others talking. I wonder if it's true. Did you know that Qianqian and Beichen came by earlier?"

"Beichen said he was very grateful to you for recommending this hospital, which saved his child, and he wants to thank you handsomely."

As Han Xi spoke, she slowly leaned against his pillow. Although the hospital smelled strongly, she could still smell Shen Jiheng's scent.

"Time flies, we've missed so much time, so you can't lie here anymore. Wake up, I'm really not used to this."

Han Xi hugged his arm and closed her eyes, hoping that when she opened them, she would see him wake up.

She waited all day, her mood fluctuating wildly, unable to find peace of mind.

Midnight~

Shen Jiheng moved his fingers and opened his eyes after struggling for a while.

He was unconscious for a day and his vision was a little blurry, but he could still see people very close to him clearly.

Han Xi fell asleep leaning on his shoulder, her brows furrowed, her sleep unusually restless.

Shen Jiheng wanted to raise his hand to smooth out the wrinkles on her forehead, but found that he had no strength at all.

Even other parts of the body seemed unable to move.
