Han Xi posted a picture of a meal on her social media account: stir-fried kidney blossoms, scrambled eggs with chives, stir-fried celtuce and yam, oysters, sheep testicles... From then on, the whol...
Chapter 386 You're really quite high-profile.
Looking at the woman who was about to become his wife again, Shen Jiheng walked over with great enthusiasm.
"Han Xi, you look beautiful today."
Although she wasn't wearing a wedding dress, the gown still accentuated her beauty, and her exquisite makeup captivated Shen Jiheng.
He was deeply moved to see that Han Xi also took this matter so seriously.
"You're handsome too. If you walk out like this, you'll attract a lot of attention."
"A combination of handsome men and beautiful women is invincible."
Han Xi laughed and said, "Of course, it would be better if you didn't show off like that."
Shen Jiheng took her hand, gently lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand, revealing a gentlemanly smile.
"I'm afraid that won't work. I want to be even more high-profile. Also, there's something else I need to tell you in advance."
Seeing Shen Jiheng's sly smile, Han Xi knew that things were definitely not ordinary.
"You'd better not scare me."
"I have already informed the reporters that once we come out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, we will make an official announcement and then announce our remarriage to the world."
"...You're really quite high-profile!"
Han Xi admired his determination; he really wanted everyone to know about it.
Shen Jiheng said smugly, "I originally wanted to hold a press conference and a ball, but I think you're not in the mood for any of that right now."
Han Xi was truly grateful that he hadn't taken it upon himself to arrange these things; her recent mood simply wasn't suited to participating in such activities.
She smiled wryly and said, "You really are considerate. I should thank you for not doing these things. But I hope that in the future, when you make these arrangements, you'd better discuss them with me beforehand. I can't stand the idea of acting first and informing later."
Because Shen Jiheng was too high-profile, Han Xi had no choice but to restrain him in advance to prevent him from becoming lawless.
Shen Jiheng nodded helplessly. Since the two had different styles of doing things, he had no choice but to compromise and agree to her suggestion.
"Okay, I'll definitely let you know in advance next time."
Although Han Xi didn't have much hope for his words, at least they made him somewhat aware of the situation.
Today was a special day for the two of them, and Han Xi didn't want to cause any unpleasantness over such trivial matters. However, just as the two were about to go downstairs, they suddenly heard the sound of an urgent door opening behind them.
When the two turned around curiously, they saw Gu Beichen rushing out of the room in a great hurry.
Yes, it was all achieved through sheer force!
If you didn't know better, you'd think there was some ferocious beast in his room.
When he saw the two people in the corridor, he didn't pay any attention to their attire today, but instead said in a panic, "Han Xi, something terrible has happened! My mother committed suicide in the detention center."
Upon hearing this, the two were stunned. Han Xi immediately stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? Weren't you fine yesterday?"
Since Ding Shan was willing to plead guilty and let Han Xi be her defense lawyer, there was absolutely no way she could have committed suicide. No wonder Gu Beichen was so anxious.
As Gu Beichen walked, he said, "I don't know the specifics yet. The guards just called me and said she cut her throat with a shard of a cup and has been taken to the hospital."
This situation was shocking. Han Xina didn't even have time to register and immediately accompanied Gu Beichen to the hospital.
After getting into the car, Gu Beichen contacted the other party and arrived at the hospital at almost the same time as their vehicle.
Seeing the pale face of the person being carried off the stretcher, with bright red blood almost soaking through Ding Shan's clothes, made Gu Beichen tremble with fear.
“How could this happen? I visited her yesterday, and she was in great condition. She couldn’t possibly have done something like this. Something must be going on.”
Shen Jiheng had already contacted someone to investigate what happened at the detention center, and Han Xi accompanied him until Ding Shan was taken to the emergency room.
She also had a premonition that this was not a simple suicide, but most likely a murder.
She also spoke with Ding Shan yesterday, and she explained the events more clearly and cooperated fully, willing to accept punishment.
Moreover, Han Xi has already made plans to prevent her from being locked up for too long.
Therefore, she shared the same thought as Gu Beichen: Ding Shan could never have committed suicide.
Could it be related to Bo Siye again?
"Brother, don't panic, Aunt will be fine."
Gu Beichen banged his head against the wall, questioning whether his initial idea was wrong.
Whether Ding Shan was a victim or acted on her own, if she hadn't been left alone in the detention center, this wouldn't have happened.
Han Xi felt bad seeing his reaction, after all, it was she who suggested it in the first place, who would have thought it would turn out like this.
If Ding Shan were to suffer any serious injury or death, I would unintentionally become the culprit.
Did I really do something wrong?
Ten minutes later, Gu Hongyi arrived. He frantically clung to the door of the emergency room, prompting Gu Beichen to quickly grab him.
"Dad, Mom is still inside being resuscitated. Don't do anything rash."
Gu Hongyi turned his head angrily and glared at him, scolding, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing that happened to your mother? Why didn't you let me know?"
Gu Hongyi, who is usually calm and composed and never gets angry, was truly enraged this time.
Gu Beichen didn't tell him because he was afraid, and at the same time, he felt guilty.
He had always wanted to protect his family, but his younger sister Gu Hanxi died, and now his beloved mother had also suffered this tragedy, which made him feel extremely guilty.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Hongyi continued to berate him: "Are you planning to tell me you're dead at the very end?!"
Gu Beichen was unable to refute, so Han Xi mustered up her courage and stepped forward to speak up for him.
"Uncle, calm down. My brother is just afraid you'll worry. You've been so worried about Aunt these past few days, he just wants to wait until things stabilize before telling you."
"Shut up!"
Gu Hongyi, who had never been fierce to Han Xi before, suddenly glared at her angrily, startling Han Xi into a daze.
Even Gu Beichen didn't expect him to suddenly get angry at Han Xi.
Gu Hongyi said angrily, "Although you are my sister's daughter, what has our Gu family owed you? My daughter Hanxi's death is related to you, and my illegitimate daughter Baixue is still unconscious."
These words left Han Xi speechless; she truly hadn't expected Gu Hongyi to blame her.
"Now even your aunt is lying in there being resuscitated. Isn't all this because of your self-righteous sense of justice? You're only satisfied when she's in jail and confesses."
So that's what he was thinking. The usually reasonable Gu Hongyi always supported her decisions and agreed with her ideas, making Han Xi think that he was on the same side as her.
It turns out that none of that was true; it was just that I had been too optimistic and imagined everyone to be like me.
However, it was indeed Ding Shan who brought up the matter. If there hadn't been so many complications, she wouldn't have been convicted at all, given the Gu family's influence.
Han Xi nodded, full of guilt, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out this way."
After speaking, she bowed and took two steps back, feeling somewhat ashamed to face Gu Hongyi.
None of this would have happened if I hadn't asked Attorney Ye to withdraw the bail.
My uncle loves my aunt so much, how could he bear to let her get hurt?
But Ding Shan was already in the emergency room, so there was no point in trying to make amends.
