Chapter 66 If you can't defeat them, join them.

Han Xi was fortunate that she had little contact with her, otherwise she would probably be driven crazy by her. She suddenly felt a little sorry for Shen Jiheng, who must have suffered a lot of mistreatment usually.

To calm her down first, Han Xi agreed.

"If we can get a divorce smoothly, I will consider your suggestion."

"Then it's settled. Sister-in-law, how much money do you have on hand right now? Can you lend it to me first?"

"......"

Han Xi gasped; Shen Mingzhu was even more troublesome than she had imagined.

She sighed and shook her head with a helpless expression.

"To be honest, I'm also penniless right now, otherwise I wouldn't have returned to the workforce. You should know that I haven't earned a single penny in the past three years."

The thought of having to play the victim in front of her made Han Xi feel ridiculous.

It's best to avoid someone like her who's a bottomless pit.

Shen Mingzhu, still unconvinced, asked again, "As Mrs. Shen, it's impossible that you really have no money at all."

"Think about it, you, as the daughter of the Shen family, don't have any, let alone me, an outsider. Your brother knows I'm divorcing him, so how could he possibly give me any money? You agree, right?"

Han Xi's persuasive words made sense to Shen Mingzhu. If Han Xi were truly wealthy, she wouldn't be working here; she would be enjoying a life of leisure at home.

"My brother is ruthless. You should have left him sooner. A man like that doesn't deserve to be married."

"You're absolutely right. This kind of person doesn't even cherish his only sister. He's not even human."

Since they couldn't defeat the monster, the best way was to join her ranks and make Shen Mingzhu feel that she was one of her own, so that she wouldn't make things difficult for her.

Shen Mingzhu found these words agreeable and sighed, saying, "Since you're in the same situation as me, I won't trouble you. I'll keep trying to find a way to make him hand over the money willingly."

Han Xi sensed something was wrong and feared that she might have ill intentions and go astray. After all, she was her sister-in-law, so she still tried to persuade her kindly.

"Mingzhu, I see that you have good ability and talent. If you work hard, you will definitely achieve great things."

But to my surprise, she wouldn't listen to any advice.

"You don't understand. I'm a man who's going to do big things. I look down on these petty squabbles. I'm leaving now. Don't tell that person I was here."

Han Xi nodded awkwardly, the crucial point being that she had sent out a request for help half an hour earlier.

Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Shen Mingzhu off, but judging from her attitude, she probably wouldn't let it go easily.

Anyway, she didn't want to get involved as long as it didn't affect her.

Just as Han Xi sat down, another figure rushed in. Shen Jiheng wasn't even wearing a coat, and his shirt was wrinkled, so it seemed he hadn't gone home.

He looked furious and anxious; anyone who didn't know better would think he was there to start a war.

Where is she? Did she give you any trouble?

In Han Xi's memory, Shen Jiheng always appeared as a spirited and elite figure, maintaining his perfect image.

But at this moment, his hair gel was loose, his shirt, which he had worn yesterday, was wrinkled, and he hadn't shaved his stubble. He looked a little haggard. Was he neglecting his appearance?

Han Xi shook his head after regaining his senses: "I forgot to reply to you. Mingzhu has already left and won't be coming to see me for the time being, so please don't blame her anymore."

The main concern was that if Shen Jiheng reprimanded her, it would be troublesome if he came looking for her again.

Han Xi is now desperate to keep her distance from the Shen family.

Shen Jiheng breathed a sigh of relief because his nephew had suddenly fainted and been taken to the hospital. In the chaos, he had left his phone in the car without noticing. He only saw the message after the child was out of danger and rushed over immediately.

"That's good. Next time she bothers you, just tell her to get lost and ignore her."

"She's still your sister, I definitely can't treat her like this, but don't worry, I know how to handle this now."

"You can arrange it yourself. I'll be going now if there's nothing else."

Han Xi noticed that he didn't look well and seemed very anxious, so she asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Shen Jiheng gave a wry smile: "Are you worried about me?"

He always takes advantage of any kindness shown to him, so Han Xi turned her head away, not wanting to talk to him.

Shen Jiheng smiled and left without saying anything more. Shen Tongtong was still unconscious in the hospital. If she woke up and didn't see him, she would cry and make a fuss. He had to go back to the hospital to stay with her.

Han Xi secretly followed him to the door. Shen Jiheng was acting very strangely today; something must have happened.

When Shen Jiheng returned to the ward, the child had already woken up and was crying inside, just as he had expected.

After all, the child is only three years old. He has suffered from illness since birth. The wound from the surgery must be painful. How could he bear it?

"Tongtong, look what Dad bought for you."

Shen Tongtong looked up and saw that he was holding a string of candied hawthorns in his hand, and she smiled even though there were still tears on his face.

"Dad, you bought Tongtong the candied hawthorn she wanted the most."

"Yes, the doctor said you were very good. This is a reward from Daddy. It will make your wound stop hurting. When you feel better, I'll take you to the amusement park."

Because the child is in very poor health, he can hardly go out, and we have to be especially careful about his food, as even a slight oversight can cause harm.

"Okay, I'll be a good boy/girl."

Shen Jiheng handed him the candied hawthorn, stroked his thin face, asked the nanny to accompany him, and then gave Professor Yang a wink before walking out. He wanted to avoid discussing the illness with the child.

"Professor Yang, how is the situation now?"

Professor Yang shook his head: "The situation is not optimistic. The condition is still worsening. Have you communicated with Mrs. Shen in the past two days? The transplant surgery must be performed as soon as possible."

Two days ago, when Professor Yang was testing Gu Hanxi's child's bone marrow, he unexpectedly discovered that Shen Tongtong was a match for Han Xi's bone marrow. If she is willing to donate, the child can be saved.

Shen Jiheng took the initiative to curry favor with Han Xi because of this, but Professor Yang had said that the surgery would also cause harm to Han Xi, which made him hesitant to speak up.

What should have been a cause for celebration turned out to be something he never expected to be so reluctant to part with.

"She doesn't know yet, and I'm still thinking about whether I can find other matching people in a short time."

"Right now, Mrs. Shen is the most suitable candidate. As long as she recovers well after the surgery, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Shen Jiheng still had concerns. Han Xi was still recovering from her injuries, and donating bone marrow again would harm her.

"Let me think about it first. Don't mention this to her."

"Since you already have a plan, I can't really say anything. I'll go and look into it first, and you can come to me if you have any questions."

Shen Jiheng nodded gratefully: "Thank you for your trouble."

So that's what happened. No wonder Shen Jiheng was being so attentive to her all of a sudden; it turns out her bone marrow could save the child.

Han Xi overheard their conversation from a distance, which dispelled his doubts.

Judging from Shen Jiheng's reaction these past two days, she knew he was hiding something from her. He rushed to the law firm just now and left in a hurry without saying a word. She couldn't resist her curiosity and followed him.

She did find the answer, but she didn't expect the result to be like this.

He wasn't trying to develop feelings for her at all; he just wanted to persuade her to have the transplant surgery.

She knew that the reason this man was suddenly being so nice to her was simply because he had something to gain from it.
