Chapter 112 Bewitched
Hearing this reply saddened Han Xi. She no longer wanted to dwell on whether it was right or wrong that happened back then.
She took a deep breath to calm herself, not wanting to be affected by past emotions.
"That's good. I'll visit you in person another day. I'm here on behalf of Han Shu Group to discuss cooperation matters."
Madam Shen looked at Shen Jiheng with curiosity. Over the years, he had kept silent about Han Xi, and she thought he had ruthlessly forgotten about it. She didn't expect the two of them to cooperate so quickly, which could only mean that he had made plans long ago.
Madam Shen stood up excitedly: "This is a good thing! I'm so happy to see you all standing together again. By the way, Han Xi, did you come back alone this time?"
These words left Han Xi somewhat bewildered. She smiled calmly and said, "And there's one of my assistants. Why is Auntie suddenly asking about this?"
Madam Shen carefully observed that her expression did not change. Could it be that she was overthinking things?
"Auntie is just concerned about your situation. Since you want to talk about serious matters, I won't disturb you any longer. Come find us when you're done."
Han Xi nodded, curious about her reaction.
When Madam Shen walked up to Shen Jiheng, she patted him on the shoulder and gave him an encouraging look.
Shen Jiheng raised an eyebrow in response, saying that he would definitely win Han Xi back.
"That was just a minor hiccup. Everyone in the meeting room is here now, let's go!"
Han Xi still couldn't resist asking, "What is Auntie doing here so early in the morning?"
Shen Jiheng shrugged: "As you can see, she didn't say anything, and I don't know either."
This person never communicates with his family, so Han Xi's question was pointless.
The project communication went smoothly, and both parties officially signed the contract.
Shen Jiheng extended his hand to her: "President Han, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Han Xi grasped his hand. Judging from the terms of their conversation, he was clearly trying to lure her in step by step. But with the die already cast, she had no choice but to go along with it.
"Please take good care of me, Mr. Shen, in the future."
"That's natural."
Han Xi checked the time and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. If you have anything to add, feel free to contact me."
Shen Jiheng picked up a folder and blocked her way, earning him another eye roll from Han Xi.
Shen Jiheng felt that her gaze was so familiar, and he felt as if he had just experienced this feeling of hostility.
What are you doing?
Shen Jiheng laughed heartily, "President Han signed such a big deal, don't you want to show your appreciation? Logically, this contract should have been finalized over a meal, but I've saved you that step."
Han Xi smiled and leaned closer, her bright eyes looking at him. She moved closer and closer, making Shen Jiheng's breathing quicken.
Not to mention that Han Xi never did this before she left, she never did this during the years they were married.
Shen Jiheng stared at those eyes, somewhat mesmerized, when Han Xi said softly, "Since President Shen is so kind, how about we skip the rest?"
Shen Jiheng was a little confused. Was this really happening?
His mind went blank at that moment, and he immediately nodded.
"Okay, you can say whatever you want."
Han Xi reached out and patted her on the shoulder, smiling as she said, "President Chen is so kind. See you next time."
Shen Jiheng felt like he was under a spell, or he was dreaming, otherwise why would Han Xi treat him like this?
Watching Han Xi's figure disappear into the distance, Shen Jiheng was still enjoying himself.
Qin Chuan could no longer see her. Seeing that the president was still in a daze, he waved his hand in front of him and reminded him, "President, Miss Han has left. Please wake up."
Shen Jiheng came to his senses. What had happened to him just now? It was as if someone had bewitched him.
"President, congratulations on taking your relationship with Miss Han to the next level."
Shen Jiheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly. Only he knew how difficult it had been for him to get to where he was today.
Han Xi got back into the car and slapped her cheeks hard.
Has she gone mad? Why did she do that to Shen Jiheng just now?
She didn't know what she was thinking at the time, but she tried to coax him.
Han Xi slumped over the steering wheel, wanting nothing more than to slap himself twice.
Thump thump thump...
Someone knocked on the car window. Han Xi adjusted her breathing and looked up, seeing that the person standing outside was Han Xiao.
She rolled down the car window and glanced at Han Xiao.
What are you doing?
Han Xiao immediately grabbed her hand and pleaded pitifully, "Sister, please let my mother go. She's been arrested and is going to be sentenced. Now we've been kicked out and we'll soon be homeless."
Han Xi shook off her hand and said coldly, "When she did bad things back then, why didn't she think about the consequences today? When you bullied me in the past, why didn't you think about the retribution?"
Han Xi rolled up the car window, but Han Xiao, fearless of death, grabbed it and refused to let go, even when it was stuck between her legs, so Han Xi had to stop.
"Sister, we know we were wrong. You can punish us however you want, but please, for the sake of our blood, let us go this time."
For Han Xi, sharing the same bloodline was not something to boast about, but rather a disgrace.
“A life for a life, that’s a matter of course, I can’t help her.”
"Then don't try to kill us. Dad said all the cards are frozen. You're trying to drive us to our deaths."
Han Xi explained the issue: "There are problems with the company's accounts. I'm just freezing them for investigation. If there are no abnormalities, I will naturally unfreeze them."
Han Xiao was both anxious and angry that she showed no mercy.
Unfortunately, he now depends on her for everything, so he could only suppress his anger.
“I understand what you mean, but we’ve been kicked out again with our child. You can’t just leave us homeless.”
Han Xi had no idea how miserable they had been all these years, that they didn't even have a place to stay at a time like this.
She took a bank card out of her bag and handed it to her.
"The company will investigate for a week; here's enough money for you to settle down first."
"But we want to stay..."
"No buts. I already said that house was designed by my mother, not for people like you to live in."
Han Xi has already been more than kind to them; it's laughable that Han Yue would send her to plead for them.
She only helped because they had children; otherwise, she wouldn't have cared about their lives.
Seeing that she was angry, Han Xiao didn't dare to say anything more. At least she still had some feelings for her and wouldn't just stand by and watch someone die.
"I understand, thank you, sister. We'll wait for your news."
Han Xi didn't respond and drove away. These leeches needed to be removed as soon as possible.
When Han Xi returned home, she saw Zhuo Qingqian in the yard with the child, and there was a lot of toys in the house.
"I'd say you're going a bit too far as a godmother. Why don't you just move your toy store here?"
"You're right, I'll go check one out tomorrow."
"......"
Han Xi pinched her cheek, "Since you like children so much, why don't you have one with Bei Chen?"
Zhuo Qingqian shook her head and waved her hand: "No, no, these kinds of cuties are more fun to play with than other people's. If you don't want to take them anymore, you can return them. But if they're your own, you have to take responsibility no matter how hard it is."
