Chapter 463 Feeling Unaccustomed

These words did not elicit any reaction from the old lady. She had come here today not to reminisce, but to demand an explanation.

The old lady said calmly, "You all wait outside. I want to talk to him alone."

Han Xi nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you outside. Let me know if anything happens."

The old lady patted her hand and gave her a grateful look.

Han Xi understood her thoughts; even at this age, she hoped that others would respect her privacy.

She and Shen Jiheng escorted the person to the door, said goodbye to the old man, and then left.

As the two walked in the courtyard, Shen Jiheng took her hand and asked, "I didn't go over last night, did you sleep well?"

Han Xi nodded: "Everything has been resolved, and I slept very well. Qianqian said she wanted to thank you in person and asked you to have time to go back."

Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "She's your family now, so I'll definitely help. No need to thank me."

The two looked at each other, but Han Xi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Shen Jiheng couldn't help but laugh when he saw her expression.

"What's wrong with you? The way you look at me is unfamiliar. Are you not used to me being like this?"

Han Xi smiled wryly and said, "I just have this indescribable feeling, it's very strange."

Shen Jiheng put his arm around her waist and said, "Although my personality has changed, my love for you remains the same. You will have to get used to it gradually, because I will always be like this from now on."

Han Xi was puzzled and asked curiously, "Why? Aren't you tired doing this?"

Shen Jiheng shook his head. "This will save a lot of trouble. Knowing that I am ruthless, who would dare to mess with me?"

Han Xi frowned slightly. It seemed that Shen Jiheng had embarked on a difficult path from which there was no turning back. She wanted to pull him back, but she felt somewhat powerless.

Perhaps for now, we can only let him go his own way. Whether it's right or wrong, we'll only know after we've experienced it.

In the ward, Mr. Bo was dressed in a suit with a plaid shirt underneath, and he even wore a tie and combed his sparse hair. It was clear that he had dressed up carefully.

Jasmine tea and some delicate snacks were laid out on the table; if you didn't know better, you would think it was a date for two.

"I'm so happy. I didn't expect you to take the initiative to see me. Actually, I feel really guilty towards you..."

*Smack!*

The old lady slapped him to interrupt her. She had always felt apologetic towards the old man, feeling that she had let him down back then.

But once she learned the identities of her two grandsons, she hated this man intensely.

It was his selfishness and malice that led the two children to their current hostile relationship.

The old man lowered his head and understood her purpose.

"How cruel you are to do such a thing! Did you hold a grudge against us back then, and that's why you're taking revenge on us in this cruel way?"

The old man nodded: "At the time, I did have that mindset, wanting you family members to kill each other, but I stopped a few years ago. I regret making that decision. I never expected Si Ye to turn out like this."

"Isn't it your fault? It's your selfishness that led to this situation. Do you feel good seeing them killing each other now?"

No matter what dangers the Bo family was in back then, they should not have switched the children; she could not forgive that.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t want it to turn out like this either. I’ve been trying to persuade Si Ye, but he won’t listen. I can only protect Ji Heng in secret. If he hadn’t found out, I would have kept this secret to my grave.”

The old man never expected this secret to be discovered, but he did not regret protecting Shen Jiheng. He would give his life for any one of theirs.

"Now that things have been exposed, there's no point in saying all this. I've come to you today to discuss something with you."

The old man nodded. "Go on."

“We must find a way to resolve the hatred between them as soon as possible, otherwise it will get worse and worse. You don’t want them to let one of them die to end this fight.”

The old woman knew that if the problem wasn't resolved, one of them would inevitably die.

The old man said with a headache, "I've been trying to find a solution, but it's no use."

Seeing his attitude, the old lady said, "But I want to tell you, if it really comes to this, I will definitely protect my grandson. I will never let the Shen family line die out in my hands."

The old man looked at her in horror and said in a panic, "But you have raised Ji Heng for almost thirty years, are you willing to abandon him?"

"Of course I'm reluctant, but if there's no other way, I can only protect the family bloodline, so you'd better find a solution as soon as possible."

The old man hadn't expected her to say such resolute words; he wondered how disappointed and saddened Shen Jiheng would be if he heard them.

"I understand, I will definitely find a solution as soon as possible."

"I'm giving you ten days. They're at loggerheads now, it's extremely urgent. If you still don't have a suitable solution, don't blame me for being impolite."

The old man nodded: "I've got it."

Seeing the old man's disappointed expression, the old lady resolutely turned around and walked to the door, saying sternly, "You caused this mess, so you have to deal with it yourself."

The old lady demanded that he stop the two from fighting, even at the cost of his life.

When Han Xi saw the old lady come out, he quickly went forward.

"Grandma, are you done talking so quickly?"

I thought the two of them, who hadn't seen each other for so long, would have a lot to talk about. They were a pair of unfortunate people, and now they've ended up hating each other. It's really a sad story.

The old lady nodded: "I want to go see Yuxuan and his sister."

These two siblings were once the apple of her eye. When she learned their identities, the old lady was so heartbroken that she fainted.

Now I've figured out a lot of things, and I just want to live in the present.

Han Xi smiled and said, "The children would be happy to see you; they ask about you every day."

The old lady grabbed her hand and said, "You silly child, why don't you bring them back to see me? Aren't I their great-grandmother too?"

Han Xi shook her head: "You always will be. I'm sorry, it's my fault for not arranging things properly."

"I know you couldn't bring them back because Bo Siye was at the old house for a while. Don't worry, that won't happen again."

Han Xi didn't know whether the old lady's appearance was a good thing or a bad thing.

I don't know what she talked about with Grandpa Bo, but she seems to have changed a lot. Why are they all starting to hide their feelings now?

The old lady looked around and said, "This isn't a hospital, and the equipment isn't complete. We should send him back to Hengtian Hospital and let the director take care of him."

Although the old lady complained about Mr. Bo, she was still worried about his safety.

If something really happens to him, the relationship between the two sides will get even worse, and we're still hoping to find a solution together.

Shen Jiheng nodded: "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."

The old lady held their hands, took a deep breath, and said, "Everything is slowly returning to normal, and no one can change our relationship."

Han Xi hugged her shoulders. "Grandma, I'm so happy to hear you say that. Thank you."

Han Xi looked at Shen Jiheng. His smile was calm, no longer the same as before. Would their relationship really not change?
