Chapter 433 Nothing Has Changed

Bo Siye was filled with resentment. He didn't understand why the Shen family still sided with Shen Jiheng even after they knew his identity.

If we reveal his identity now, they will only think that we are making things difficult for Shen Jiheng and trying to push him away.

What Bo Siye wanted was for him to be truly abandoned by the Shen family, not just to have this empty identity.

"There are still some misunderstandings between my grandmother and me, so I would appreciate it if you could help me mediate."

"Don't worry, we're family, Grandma will understand you."

"That's good. I knew it. The power of blood ties is stronger than anything else. You will definitely come back to my side."

Bo Siye also reminded her of her identity again, telling her not to always think about outsiders.

Madam Shen sighed inwardly; though a smile graced her face, her heart was heavy with suppressed emotions.

Although Bo Siye returned to her side, she could not feel any motherly affection at all.

She knew it would take time to heal, and she could only wait patiently.

In the afternoon, Shen Jiheng received a call from the dean, saying that Shen Qingzhou showed signs of waking up, which left him with mixed feelings.

Shen Qingzhou had committed many evil deeds and had been reduced to this state by him, with some even planning to keep him bedridden for the rest of his life.

But now that the two have changed to this kind of relationship, Shen Jiheng's stance has also changed.

Han Xi hadn't left since arriving in the morning, and remained silent after listening to his conversation with the dean.

"Don't you think this is some kind of divine arrangement? Why did he have to wake up at this particular time?"

Given the terrible relationship between Shen Qingzhou and him, if she were to find out his identity, things would definitely turn upside down.

If he were to join forces with Bo Siye again, then Shen Jiheng and the Shen family would likely have to break ties.

Han Xi's eyes also showed worry, "Perhaps this is a test from heaven. Especially at times like these, we must not lose our composure."

Shen Jiheng smiled helplessly; it could only be said that fate was against him.

"It's alright, I can handle one more."

Even if he doesn't have the blood of the Shen family flowing through his veins, he holds the economic lifeline of the entire family in his hands. If you really provoke him, no one will have a good time.

Shen Jiheng didn't want to fight, because the victims would inevitably be the Shen family.

But if you really push him to the limit, he'll stop caring about anything else.

"Ji Heng, you must promise me that you will stay calm before making any decisions."

"Don't worry, that's why I've never done anything outrageous. I've always kept that in mind."

Although his tone was relaxed, Han Xi could sense that he was holding back.

Once this forbearance reaches a certain point, it will explode. I just hope that none of this will happen.

"My aunt just sent me a message saying that Grandma has been saying she wants to see you. She's already talked to Bo Siye. Have you decided when you're going to visit her?"

The old lady called several times after she woke up, wanting the two of them to come over.

However, upon learning that Bo Siye was also at the hospital, Shen Jiheng had no choice but to decline.

Now that Bo Siye has left and Madam Shen has sent another message, Han Xi brought it up again.

Shen Jiheng smiled faintly and said, "Do you think I should go?"

Han Xi nodded: "Of course, she is your loving grandmother. Although she seemed to favor me in the past, everything she did was for you."

Shen Jiheng raised an eyebrow and revealed a satisfied smile; of course he understood this.

"Since you've said that, of course we have to go."

Han Xi put her arms around his neck and said, "I've noticed that you've become much more humane lately, and you've become much warmer as a person."

Shen Jiheng pinched her nose and asked, "From what you're saying, does that mean I was a bad person in the past, someone without any humanity?"

Han Xi nodded with a wry smile: "Don't you know what you were like in the past?"

Shen Jiheng feigned disappointment, shrugged, and sighed.

"You're right, I really hated the past."

Han Xi quickly shook her head and coaxed, "Although you were hateful in the past, I still love you. Even during the years we were apart, I still thought about you."

These were words Han Xi had never told him, even though she left heartbroken back then, she still missed this man.

After all, those few years were unforgettable; how could they be forgotten so easily?

The dazzling starlight in Shen Jiheng's eyes all stemmed from Han Xi.

He hugged her tightly and smiled with relief, "I'm so glad to hear you say that, Han Xi. Thank you for being by my side."

Han Xi said firmly, "I'm also very glad that I made the right decision. We will definitely be happy."

Shen Jiheng discovered that this incident not only did not affect their relationship, but actually strengthened it, so it wasn't such a bad thing after all.

When the two arrived at the hospital, to Shen Jiheng's surprise, the old lady was actually sitting at the door of the ward waiting for them. When she saw the two of them, she excitedly stood up from her chair.

This scene was so dazzling that it pierced Shen Jiheng's heart; he had never felt such profound love from the old lady.

He and Han Xi exchanged a glance and quickly ran over, each supporting the old lady's shoulders.

"Grandma, why are you sitting by the door?"

Madam Shen smiled and said, "Of course it's to wait for you. You all know how stubborn Grandma is. I heard you were coming, so I wanted to see you as soon as possible."

Shen Jiheng felt guilty. He deliberately didn't come so as not to meet Bo Siye and avoid them appearing at the same time, which would put everyone in a difficult position.

The old lady held their hands and said, "It's all in the past. I called you here to say that I just want to live comfortably for the rest of my days, and neither of you is allowed to back down."

Han Xi said, moved, "Grandma, you're right, we'll all listen to you."

"Ji Heng is my grandson, and I will never change that until I die. Yu Xuan and the others are my great-grandsons, and no one dares to object."

The old lady didn't want to live a miserable life from now on, so she simply opened her heart and accepted it.

Han Xi saw the smile on Shen Jiheng's face and knew that something in his heart had been filled.

That's good, nothing has changed.

As evening approached, after Han Xi had lulled the old lady to sleep, she gave Madam Shen a meaningful look, and Madam Shen understood and followed the two of them out.

Madam Shen spoke first: "Ji Heng, Grandma's words also represent my feelings, but sometimes I have no choice in the matter."

Han Xi held her hand and said, "Auntie, we all understand your position. You don't need to think too much. Just follow Miss's wishes. We can handle anything that comes up."

Shen Jiheng nodded, confirming Han Xi's statement.

"I feel relieved to hear you say that. Actually, I understand a lot of things, but I just can't refuse."

Bo Siye's demands were so earnest that, as a mother who had lost her child, she truly couldn't refuse.

Shen Jiheng smiled calmly: "The dean probably hasn't told you yet that Father is showing signs of waking up. He opened his eyes at noon, and although it wasn't for long, he will wake up soon if things continue like this."

Madam Shen stared in surprise. She had no feelings for this person. If she woke up now and learned about Shen Jiheng's background, who knows what kind of trouble she would cause.

"How could this happen? Can we keep him from waking up?"

Between her husband and children, she chose to stand by Shen Jiheng without hesitation.

Shen Jiheng shook his head. This kind of thing couldn't be stopped unless it was controlled by drugs, but he didn't want to do that.
