Chapter 10 Suppress it, settle the score later
Despite the low atmosphere in the room, Han Xi laughed inappropriately.
She felt that Shen Jiheng was telling a huge joke.
"Wife? Have you ever treated me like your wife all these years? Have you been living a life of disloyalty, Mr. Shen? Can't you just get a divorce and act like a man?"
These words were a real insult to Shen Jiheng's self-esteem. If Han Xi hadn't been sick, he would have immediately shown her whether he was a man or not.
"Whether I'm a man or not, Mrs. Shen, don't you know best?"
One sentence left Han Xi speechless, her face turning red to her neck: "You know perfectly well I'm talking about divorce!"
"So you think you're a man just because you divorced your wife? Do you even look like a woman? What about the traditional virtues of obedience and chastity? What about gentleness and virtue? And the marriage ceremony that the Han family taught you? Have you forgotten all the wedding etiquette?"
"You!" Han Xi was furious and tried to get up, which aggravated her broken ribs, causing her to cry out in pain.
Seeing that he had really angered him, Shen Jiheng quickly tried to coax him, "You're injured, we can talk about it after you're discharged from the hospital."
Han Xi turned her head away and ignored him.
The Three Obediences and Four Virtues? Obedience to one's husband after marriage? Those are things from which era?!
How come she never knew Shen Jiheng was such a jerk? Talking to him is like casting pearls before swine!
"Want a banana?" Shen Jiheng asked, leaning forward to ease the tension.
Han Xi closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, remaining silent and sullen.
"What about Apple?" he asked patiently, but was met with silence again.
"I'll give you physical pain relief; you look terrible," Shen Jiheng said, standing up to prepare the tools.
"No need." Han Xi refused, gritting her teeth against the pain in her ribs that had just been pulled. She would never let Shen Jiheng take off her clothes again.
Qin Chuan knocked on the door. Shen Jiheng turned around and saw that he looked serious and didn't seem to want to come in. He stood up and said, "You get some sleep. I have something to take care of."
"President, Madam's fall was a bit suspicious. There are no security cameras near the stairs. After my investigation, I identified a suspect, but this person seems to have the ability to evade detection. He has always been wearing a baseball cap and a mask in all the surveillance footage, and his face has never been captured."
Qin Chuan paused for a moment, then continued, "There's one more thing. This person's movements show that he visited Miss Gu's hospital room."
Gu Hanxi...
"Continue the investigation, and immediately send someone to the hospital to protect Madam." Shen Jiheng's face was extremely gloomy.
"President, what if this matter is related to Miss Gu..." Qin Chuan probed.
Shen Jiheng remained silent for a long time, then said, "Press it down and settle the score later."
Qin Chuan sighed. If this matter really had anything to do with Gu Hanxi, and his wife found out, it would probably cause a huge uproar...
"Mr. Shen, why don't you just confront your wife? She's a good person, she'll definitely forgive you..." Qin Chuan shut his mouth when he saw Shen Jiheng's icy gaze, not daring to say anything more.
How come Han Xi is considered a good person in Qin Chuan's eyes? She's already threatening to divorce him now, so what if she finds out what he's been hiding? Wouldn't she be even more determined to divorce him then?
Ha, divorce? She's dreaming!
"I see you're quite free, having time to worry about her. Go back to the company and review the documents from the past few days. Finish them tomorrow." Shen Jiheng finished speaking and turned to go back to the ward.
Qin Chuan: "..."
In the ward, Han Xi stood by the bed and slowly moved outwards, the pain in her ribs becoming more intense as she stood up.
Seeing Shen Jiheng return, she was surprised for a moment, then sneered, "Running back and forth between the two wards, isn't Mr. Shen tired?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shen Jiheng stepped forward to help the person up. "Why are you getting out of bed? I'll help you."
"Can Mr. Shen help me go to the toilet?" Han Xi was lying in bed thinking that Shen Jiheng was different from usual today. Specifically, he was talking more and his expressions seemed more varied.
Given her current condition, she can't even leave the hospital, so she definitely can't get a divorce immediately.
Since Shen Jiheng was going to pretend to be nice to her, she didn't need to be stubborn. Why not have someone to do her bidding? Consider it interest on the three years she had taken care of him.
"You can still joke around, looks like you're not in pain anymore," Shen Jiheng said, lifting the person up.
