Chapter 369 She's so generous

Although Shen Mingzhu spoke kindly and her actions seemed sincere, Han Xi couldn't sense anything.

She only felt that the person in front of her was hypocritical and pretentious. Was it because she had too deep a prejudice against her?

Shen Mingzhu said sincerely, "After all these things, I've come to a realization. I deeply regret what I did and want to turn over a new leaf from now on. Sister-in-law, can you give me this chance?"

Han Xi felt a chill run down his spine and quickly withdrew his hand.

"I'm telling you this because we don't really have any connection."

"My brother was able to forgive me because of you, and I want to thank you."

Han Xi shook his head repeatedly: "I don't need your thanks. If you really change, then be a good person from now on and don't cause trouble for everyone anymore."

Shen Mingzhu said excitedly, "So, sister-in-law, you have forgiven me. Thank you for your magnanimity. To express my gratitude, I would like to invite you and the child to dinner, and also to strengthen our relationship."

Han Xi was confused, wondering what Shen Mingzhu was up to.

Judging from her appearance, she really seemed to want to make peace. For the sake of the Shen family's future peace, Han Xi naturally didn't want the relationship between everyone to become too strained.

If Shen Jiheng could forgive what she did, why should she care?

"We'll talk about it another time."

Shen Mingzhu nodded obediently, and then said, "Sister-in-law, since we are all family, I have something I want to discuss with you."

As expected, his real intention was not what he seemed. All those high-sounding words were just a pretext to pave the way.

Han Xi wanted to see what she had to say.

"What are you discussing?"

"I heard that my brother gave you 20% of Shen's shares, and another 10% to his two nephews. He's so thoughtful of you."

Han Xi thought of the time when Shen Jiheng asked Lawyer Ye to make a will. Could it be that it had already been transferred to her?

Seeing her expression, Shen Mingzhu asked with a smile, "Don't you know about these things, sister-in-law? It seems my brother is going to give you a surprise. I was just being nosy."

After saying that, she pretended to slap her mouth, as if she had accidentally done something wrong.

Han Xi still prefers her real, arrogant, and domineering self in front of her, rather than her current pretentious attitude.

"So you want to talk to me about shares."

Shen Mingzhu nodded and sighed, "As the second young lady of the Shen family, my shareholding is only five percent, which is less than that of a child. It's laughable if people find out."

Han Xi sighed, wondering why she was being so foolish. Didn't she have any self-awareness?

"Then you can talk to your brother about it."

"If only my brother were as understanding and easy to talk to as you, I wouldn't be in such a predicament. In front of him, I don't even have a chance to speak; he'll scold me."

Han Xi gave a forced smile, her words revealing a lot of her thoughts.

"What exactly are you trying to say to me?"

“Then I’ll get straight to the point. I want to buy the shares my two nephews hold, so that I’ll have a say in the Shen family business in the future.”

Han Xi calmly said, "These shares were given to you by your brother. Even if you want to sell them, you must get his consent. But as far as I know, your brother doesn't seem to allow you to rejoin the company."

Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth secretly. Originally, she didn't want to have any more disputes with these people and just wanted to give birth to the child in a good manner.

But after Bo Siye reminded her, she suddenly realized that she couldn't let her child be born with nothing.

It would be a laughing stock if word got out that the daughter of the prestigious Shen family only owns five percent of the shares.

She's nothing, why should she let her child be laughed at? Even for her child's sake, she's determined to rebuild her career in the company and create a future for her child.

As long as she owns 15 percent of the shares, she can return to the group smoothly.

Upon learning that Shen Jiheng had directly gifted so many shares to his mother and son, they realized he was a biased and selfish man who didn't care about his own sister at all.

“As long as I work hard and honestly, my brother will change his mind. The important thing is that I need the shares. My two nephews are still young, and the shares are useless to them. After they are sold to me, I will give them to them when they grow up.”

"You are so generous."

"As their aunt, I have the magnanimity to do this. You're such a kind sister-in-law, you certainly won't refuse me, right?"

Han Xi frowned. How naive was she to think she could morally blackmail her?

"I can't make this decision; you should let your brother decide."

Shen Mingzhu grasped her hand again with reverence and said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, please help me. I really want to return to the company. Do you want me to kneel down for you to agree?"

As she spoke, she squatted down as if she were about to kneel.

Logically, the other person should have come to pull her away when they saw her doing this, but Han Xi didn't move and just waited to see her perform.

Shen Mingzhu stiffened and gritted her teeth as she knelt down. For the sake of her child, she could endure it.

"Sister-in-law, look, I've even knelt down to beg you, you must agree to my request."

Han Xi sighed, it must have been really tough to endure this long.

"Shen Mingzhu, although you've changed your tactics, don't treat others like fools."

These words broke the atmosphere. Han Xi was exhausted from pretending and didn't want to listen to her nonsense anymore.

Shen Mingzhu's every word was scheming, making Han Xi feel that talking to her was a waste of time.

Shen Mingzhu looked at her with a puzzled expression and said pitifully, "Did I say something wrong?"

"Why are you still restless? Wouldn't it be better to stay in the old house? Why do you have to come out and cause trouble again? Do you know that I need to suppress all my anger before I can speak to you calmly?"

Han Xi tore through this false form of communication; she really didn't want to listen to her hypocritical words anymore.

With tears in her eyes, Shen Mingzhu said, "So you haven't forgiven me yet. It's all my fault for being foolish in the past, so..."

"Enough! I don't want to hear these hypocritical words. You're only here for shares, so let me make it clear: it's impossible for me to give them to you!"

Han Xi directly cut off her hopes to avoid bothering her with this matter.

Shen Mingzhu's expression began to twist. Who said this woman was kind-hearted? She was clearly heartless.

"Han Xi, aren't you hypocritical? You already have the listed company Han Shu Group and the support of the Gu family, yet you still cling to the shares of Shen's Group. Be careful not to overeat and die."

"If that's what you mean, then I'd rather die than give it to you!"

Shen Mingzhu was filled with hatred at the tough attitude, and she said fiercely, "These all belong to the Shen family and have nothing to do with you. I will definitely take them back."

No sooner had the words left her lips than a stern voice of disapproval came from the doorway: "I'd like to know, what gives you the right to say such things to Han Xi?"

The deep, resonant voice made Shen Mingzhu stagger and quickly turn around. Seeing Shen Jiheng's ashen face, she quickly smiled and said, "Brother, you've misunderstood. I was just chatting with my sister-in-law; we weren't arguing."

"No, we're arguing. Your dear sister wants to take the shares you gave me. How are you going to resolve this?"
