Chapter 45 Framed

Han Xi's past gentle and virtuous demeanor, free from competition and strife, has made people forget that she was once known as the famous lawyer Han in Chongqing.

Gu Hanxi really walked right into the line of fire, which is why she got this scolding.

Gu Hanxi was so angry that her chest ached. That damned Han Xi was so sharp-tongued.

"Anyway, you've seen how much Ji Heng cares about me. He'll kick you out of the Shen family sooner or later."

Han Xi laughed and said, "I don't think you have that ability yet. Otherwise, with your pregnant belly, how come you haven't been able to persuade him all day long?"

"You..." Gu Hanxi was so angry that her face turned pale. She had actually been hit where it hurt by this woman.

To hit someone, you need to find their sore spot; to insult someone, you need to find their weakness.

If Gu Hanxi were really so pleasing to Shen Jiheng, he would have divorced himself and married her long ago.

The fact that there has been absolutely no progress since she became pregnant suggests that something is wrong.

Han Xi was too lazy to waste words on her. Seeing that the redness and swelling had subsided, he asked, "How are you feeling now? If you're alright, you can go out now."

Gu Hanxi looked at the two of them and said gratefully, "I'm much better now, but it still hurts a bit, so I'd like to soak in it a little longer. Anyway, thank you both."

Listening to what she had to say, Han Xi turned the tap back on and filled the sink. Gu Hanxi coughed twice and sneezed. Her soft appearance still evoked sympathy from the two women.

Gu Hanxi shivered and pleaded, "My clothes are wet and I'm so cold. Could someone please go and get my coat? It's right where I was sitting."

Zhuo Qingqian sighed, "This is such a hassle, I'll go get it for you."

Although I didn't want to say it, I couldn't help but want to help the weak when I saw her.

After Zhuo Qingqian left, Gu Hanxi put her hands in the sink. Just as Han Xi was about to check her for any other injuries, she suddenly buried her entire head in the sink.

Han Xi was startled by her action and quickly pulled her up, her hair and body now completely soaked.

"Gu Hanxi, are you crazy? What are you doing? Didn't you say it was cold?"

Gu Hanxi smiled slyly, a smile that made Han Xi feel uneasy.

"Guess what I'm going to do? Han Xi, your biggest weakness is your kind heart."

"What exactly are you...?"

"Ah! Help! Ji Heng, save me!" Before Han Xi could finish speaking, Gu Hanxi suddenly screamed for help, which confused her.

"Han Xi, what are you doing? Let me go! Help! Ji Heng, please save me!"

After Gu Hanxi finished speaking, she buried her head in the water again. Han Xi angrily reached out to grab her, but when the people who rushed in saw it, it looked more like he was pushing her into the water.

Shen Jiheng rushed forward with lightning speed, grabbed Han Xi's hand, and flung it backward forcefully. There were already many water stains on the ground, and Han Xi accidentally stepped on them and fell heavily to the ground.

She looked up in surprise and saw Shen Jiheng anxiously supporting Gu Hanxi, lifting the swaying person up in his arms. The worry and tenderness in his eyes contrasted sharply with the resentment he felt towards her.

"Han Xi, you're ruthless!"

Gu Hanxi cried out softly, "Ji Heng, I'm so scared. Han Xi said she hates me and wants to take you away. She said she wants to kill me."

Han Xi ignored what Gu Hanxi said; she was curious whether Shen Jiheng would believe these words.

Shen Jiheng said angrily, "Han Xi, don't go too far! Using this kind of pretext to harm a pregnant woman, do you have any conscience?!"

It turns out he believed Gu Hanxi's words.

Zhuo Qingqian, who had recovered from her shock, quickly stepped forward to help Han Xi up and stood up for her.

"Shen Jiheng, how dare you say that to her? You have no conscience; you're the one who had an affair and a child with another woman. Anyone would be angry in your shoes."

Upon hearing Zhuo Qingqian's words, Han Xi turned to her. Clearly, Zhuo Qingqian had also witnessed the scene when she came in and must have mistakenly thought that Han Xi was making a move against Gu Hanxi.

Ignoring the pain in his foot, Han Xi limped forward two steps.

“Shen Jiheng, let me tell you, I, Han Xi, am not that despicable. She buried her head in the sink to frame me just now, it has nothing to do with me.”

Shen Jiheng snorted coldly: "Do you think saying such things will clear your name? I clearly saw your hand on her shoulder when I came in just now."

It's really unpleasant to be wronged; why doesn't Shen Jiheng believe her at all?

“I’ll say it again, I didn’t press her down, I wanted to pull her up.”

Han Xi's aggrieved look made Shen Jiheng's resolute expression flash with a hint of doubt, and at that moment the girl in his arms started to cry.

"Forget it, Ji Heng, don't argue with her. She did help me after all. If this makes her feel better, then it's fine."

Han Xi gritted his teeth, never expecting her to put on a show like the farmer and the snake for him.

Zhuo Qingqian stepped forward.

“I believe Xi Xi. Gu Hanxi just said she was cold and asked me to get some clothes. She was definitely trying to get rid of me on purpose so that there would be no witnesses and she could make up stories. My Han Xi would never stoop to such a despicable thing.”

When Zhuo Qingqian came in, she did see the same scene as Shen Jiheng. Coupled with what Gu Hanxi said, she also wondered what was going on.

But she knew Han Xi was a man of his word; if he had explained something, it must be the truth.

So Gu Hanxi is lying.

Gu Hanxi clutched her chest, looking as if she were in excruciating pain, and said with tears in her eyes, "You...you've twisted the truth and turned black into white! Ji Heng, I...I'm dizzy..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she fainted in Shen Jiheng's arms.

Shen Jiheng was extremely anxious. He glared at the two people in front of him and left with Gu Hanxi in his arms.

The restroom quieted down, with the faint sound of dripping water audible.

Zhuo Qingqian sighed and gently patted her shoulder.

"Xi Xi, don't be sad. This kind of blind bastard is not worth your sadness. Besides twisting your ankle, are there any other injuries?"

"

Why does Zhuo Qingqian believe in herself, while her husband doesn't?

Why is it that just one tear and a few words from Gu Hanxi is enough to make his heart fly away?

Han Xi didn't understand. If he cared so much about this woman, why didn't he marry her?

"Oh dear, your palm is cut and bleeding. Let me take you to get it bandaged."

Zhuo Qingqian felt sorry for her and helped her out. She also felt bad seeing her best friend being wronged.

"I'm sorry, Qianqian. I was just planning to treat you to a meal, but this happened."

"You silly girl, we're best friends, no need to be so polite."

After walking only a few steps, Han Xi's forehead was covered in sweat, and the injured part of her ribs was in excruciating pain. She leaned against the wall, holding her waist, and gasped for breath.

Seeing this, Zhuo Qingqian was also frightened and asked, "What's wrong? Does your wound hurt? That bastard hit you too hard just now, you must have hurt yourself."

Han Xi took a deep breath to adjust to the pain, sensing that the situation was not good.

"It seems I need to go to the hospital for a check-up."

Although she was angry, her health was more important, and Han Xi wanted to live well.

"Okay, I'll take you there right away. I'll write this down for Shen Jiheng, and I'll settle the score with him properly in the future."

Zhuo Qingqian carefully helped her into the car and said with concern, "Rest for a while, I'll call you when we get there."

Han Xi nodded and closed her eyes. It was a good thing that her good friend was by her side, otherwise she would have been in a terrible mess.
