Chapter 59 Don't Be a Scoundrel

Seeing his resolute attitude, Gu Hanxi wondered what would happen if he confessed to their affair in court tomorrow.

If these things were made public, she would have nowhere to go in Chongqing.

She forced a smile, suppressing her anger, and took his arm, her eyes brimming with tears as she coaxed him, "Lu Chen, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. From now on, I'll do whatever you ask me to do."

Unfortunately, Lu Chen was heartbroken by her and completely lost trust in her, so he shook off her hand.

"Don't give me that. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. We'll see you in court tomorrow."

After Lu Chen finished speaking, he turned and left. Gu Hanxi gritted her teeth, grabbed the teapot on the table, and rushed over.

Hearing footsteps approaching, Lu Chen thought she was just going to pester him again and ignored her, but unexpectedly, a heavy object slammed into his head.

A sharp, piercing pain struck, and Lu Chen felt the world spinning around him.

He turned around in disbelief, and Gu Hanxi seized the opportunity to smash him down again, one blow after another, until he collapsed unconscious at her feet.

Gu Hanxi looked at her blood-stained hands, hurriedly dropped her things, quickly closed the door, and sat on the ground in a daze.

She didn't want to harm Lu Chen, but she couldn't let him betray her; she couldn't let outsiders know about these shady dealings.

Gu Hanxi quickly took out her phone and called Gu Beichen. He rushed over more than ten minutes later.

"Xixi, it's me, open the door quickly."

Gu Hanxi opened the door with trembling hands, and Gu Beichen was stunned when he entered and saw the scene.

"Xixi, what exactly did you do?"

"Brother, this man tried to assault me. I only acted in self-defense. You have to help me."

Gu Beichen stepped forward and checked Lu Chen's breath, then sighed, "Don't worry, he's not dead. Leave this to me. Anyone who dares to bully my sister will be taught a lesson."

Everyone in Chongqing knows that Gu Beichen is a doting brother who spoils his sister, indulging her every whim. In this situation, it's inevitable that he will take action.

He ordered his men to drag Lu Chen away for treatment, since he was injured and it would be troublesome if he died.

Gu Hanxi started sobbing again, her shoulders shaking. Her tearful appearance broke her brother's heart.

Gu Beichen helped her back to her hospital bed and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Did he hurt you?"

Gu Hanxi grabbed his hand and cried, "It's not because of that, brother. I received a court summons. The trial is tomorrow, but I don't want to go."

"That Liang Dong still won't give up, he's really despicable."

Gu Hanxi said pitifully, "Brother, only you can help me with this."

Gu Beichen was also in a dilemma. It was true that he doted on his sister, but the court had already issued a notice, and they couldn't possibly reverse the situation.

"Brother, it's actually very simple. As long as you arrange for a few people to have tea with him and make sure he doesn't show up tomorrow, then this lawsuit can't proceed. You'll help me, right?"

Gu Hanxi knew that her brother was straightforward and seemingly carefree, but he had no intention of harming anyone, so she could only offer him advice.

"Alright, I'll do it your way."

Gu Hanxi threw herself into his arms and wiped away her tears, but a wicked smile curled up at the corner of her mouth. Without Lu Chen, that good-for-nothing, she would have this brother to serve her for free from now on.

Meanwhile, Han Xi drove back to her apartment, only to find an annoying guy standing at her door.

How did you know I lived here?

Seeing the person he least wanted to see appear before him, Han Xi just wanted to go back and wash his eyes.

Shen Jiheng said frankly, "To know where you live, what you do every day, and who you meet, it's just a matter of saying a word."

Han Xi nodded vigorously, "Yes, President Shen is incredibly powerful. He can know everything just by asking. But what are you doing here?"

Shen Jiheng raised his chin, signaling her to open the door quickly.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Han Xi frowned, remembering that she hadn't told him to go in.

Shen Jiheng leaned against the door with her arms crossed, as if she wouldn't leave until she opened the door.

Is this person now resorting to the path of a rogue?

Han Xi sighed and opened the door. As soon as Shen Jiheng entered the room, his eyes never stopped scanning every corner, but he did not find any sign of a man.

Logically speaking, if what Han Xi said is true, and she and Bo Siyue have always been in love, then they should have met during the few days she was away.

However, there was only her presence in the room, indicating that Bo Siye had not been there.

"Have you finished looking? If you're satisfied, you can leave now."

"Grandma asked me to take you back to the old house tomorrow. What time do you get off work? I'll come pick you up."

Han Xi bluntly stated, "Shen Jiheng, you should know why I moved out."

Shen Jiheng grasped the key point and said, "Then don't forget that as long as we're not divorced, you're still my legal wife, and you have to fulfill your responsibilities."

Han Xi was both amused and exasperated by him, saying that he was being unreasonable, yet he was telling the truth.

"I'm very busy lately, and I have to work overtime tomorrow. You'll have to go home by yourself."

Every time they return to the old house, they are either pressured to have children, and this heavy responsibility is still left to Shen Jiheng.

Shen Jiheng twitched the corner of his mouth and stopped arguing with her about the topic. Instead, he took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.

Han Xi was stunned by his actions and quickly stepped forward to stop him as he unbuttoned his clothes.

"Shen Jiheng, what are you trying to do?"

Shen Jiheng calmly threw his shirt on the ground, then turned around and gave a mischievous smile.

"Of course I need to take a shower. Why, do you want to come with me?"

"How shameless!" Han Xi grabbed his hand and dragged him out. "Don't go crazy here. We're officially separated now. It's not appropriate for you to take a shower here."

As a result, Shen Jiheng grabbed her with his backhand and pulled her into his arms, trapping her and preventing her from moving.

Now, Shen Jiheng's behavior is becoming increasingly incomprehensible to her; why is this man pursuing her so relentlessly?

What do you want now?!

“You said when you visited the villa that we are a legally married couple and that you have the right to half of my assets. Since that’s the case, I also have the right to use this apartment.”

"I don't believe your nonsense. Let go of me first."

Shen Jiheng found her flustered appearance rather cute. He used to think she was boring, but it seems there's still a lot for him to explore.

Han Xi struggled to no avail, and seeing that he had no intention of letting go, she hardened her heart and bit his arm.

I thought he would loosen his grip when he felt pain, but he was like a block of wood and showed no intention of letting go.

Han Xi stopped only after tasting the blood in his mouth. Seeing the bloody imprint, he didn't move an inch. This person is truly insane.

"I'm injured, you have to compensate me."

Shen Jiheng gently released his grip, and Han Xi turned around to see the fine sweat on his forehead, indicating that he was enduring it with great effort.

Why go to such lengths!

"I've heard that human saliva contains a variety of toxins. Shouldn't you disinfect it for me first?"

"I really owe him something," Han Xi rolled her eyes at him and went to get the medicine box. After taking a couple of steps, she said again.

"Stop being a pervert, put your clothes on first."

Shen Jiheng teased, "You used to really like me without clothes on, didn't you? You even used to sneak peeks at me. Why don't you appreciate it now that you have the chance?"
