Chapter 114 Matchmaking Conference
So one thing is certain now: Snow White is not injured.
Bai Xue clearly had no wounds, but she deceived Shen Jiheng by being covered in blood and pretending to be delirious, so that she could use this as an excuse if asked about it later.
Shen Jiheng was extremely annoyed. He hadn't thought much about it at the time; if he had just been more observant, he would have noticed something amiss.
Han Xi then asked, "In this situation, is there a possibility that she might become delirious or faint?"
Professor Yang gave an affirmative answer: "In such a state of fright, one might move slowly, but it is impossible to be unconscious or faint."
Shen Jiheng clenched his fists, thinking about Bai Xue's behavior back then, and realized he had acted like a fool.
Han Xi said gratefully, "Thank you, Professor Yang. We understand the situation now." Then she looked at Shen Jiheng and asked, "Do you have any more questions?"
Shen Jiheng, of course, had more to say. He went up and asked, "Who was the doctor who treated Bai Xue back then? I remember when I went to ask her about her condition the next day, the doctor told me that Bai Xue's injuries were very serious and that I couldn't ask her too many questions."
It was because of all the signs back then that Shen Jiheng never doubted Bai Xue.
Professor Yang looked at the signature on the medical record, thought for a moment, and said, "It's Dr. Liu, but he left the hospital four years ago, just a week after Bai Xue was discharged."
For so many years, they've been making a fool of him!
Shen Jiheng said angrily, "Immediately have the hospital retrieve Dr. Liu's information. I want to ask him some questions personally."
Professor Yang also noticed something was wrong and immediately found Dr. Liu's address and contact information on his computer.
Shen Jiheng's anger burned as he looked at these words. If he were to confirm that these people were conspiring to deceive him, he would make everyone involved pay a heavy price.
He returned to his car with an unreadable mood and said heavily, "I won't go to the old house tonight. I'll come find you after I've figured things out."
At this moment, Shen Jiheng's heart was about to explode. He was determined not to give up until he got to the bottom of things.
Han Xi had the same idea. Having learned so much, she had no appetite to eat.
But the elderly are waiting over there, and it would be impolite not to go.
It's good to let Shen Jiheng find the answer himself.
"Okay, no matter what the outcome, you are not allowed to hide a single word from me."
Shen Jiheng looked at her with extremely complicated eyes. If he could, he wished that time could be turned back so that he could do it all over again. He would do anything to save her.
"I won't hide it from you anymore."
Shen Jiheng couldn't wait a moment longer and immediately called Qin Chuan to come and pick him up.
The two parted ways halfway, and the driver took Han Xi to the old house to keep their appointment.
When Han Xi returned to the old house, she couldn't help but feel a little sad to see her once robust grandmother now with a full head of white hair.
The old lady still waved to her warmly: "Han Xi, I thought I would never see you again in this lifetime."
Han Xi stepped forward and hugged her, feeling her body trembling slightly and her face showing more wrinkles. He couldn't help but sigh at the passage of time, realizing that everyone will eventually grow old and be taken away.
"Grandma, I'm sorry for only coming to see you now."
“Silly child, you did nothing wrong. It is our Shen family that has wronged you. I was so happy to hear from your mother that you were back. I will have her call you over right away. You won’t blame your grandmother for being abrupt, will you?”
Han Xi shook his head, and seeing the loving smile still on her thin face, he was deeply moved.
It was the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who gave Han Xi the only care she received in the Shen family.
Madam Shen choked up and said, "Your grandmother has been calling all day. Come in and sit down. Aunt Wang knew you were coming, so she made her signature dishes."
Aunt Wang came out to greet him, and seeing a familiar face, Han Xi's mood gradually calmed down.
The old lady asked about everyday matters, still treating her like her granddaughter-in-law.
Madam Shen then took out a photo album and sat down next to Han Xi.
"Han Xi, I was tidying up the old house the other day and accidentally found this photo album. You probably haven't seen it before."
Han Xi nodded curiously: "I've never seen this before. Whose photo is in here?"
Madam Shen opened the document and pointed to the two children on it, saying, "These are photos of Ji Heng and his sister when they were little. I thought they were lost when we moved, but I didn't expect them to still be here."
Han Xi didn't understand why Madam Shen suddenly took out this photo album. When she saw the childhood photos of Shen Jiheng, she felt a little uneasy. He really was a carbon copy of Han Yuxuan.
We decided not to let them see the child, otherwise they would definitely notice something was wrong.
The old lady looked at the photos of her children when they were young, her eyes filled with affection, yet she also sighed with regret.
She could have been holding her great-grandchildren, but because of that unexpected event...
Madam Shen comforted her, "Mom, don't sigh. I think you are a blessed person and you will definitely be able to hold your great-grandson."
Upon hearing this, the old lady looked at Han Xi excitedly. Han Xi smiled awkwardly and immediately changed the subject.
"Mingzhu was so cute when she was little. I heard she married Zhou Yiming. How is she doing now?"
Madam Shen said helplessly, "They quarrel every two or three days. Ji Heng didn't want them to get married in the first place, but Mingzhu stole the household registration book and registered. It's true that daughters are hard to keep at home once they grow up."
Han Xi remembered that Shen Jiheng had taken measures to suppress Shen Mingzhu back then, but it seems that he failed.
"Some things are just destined, and she will only come to her senses after she has gone through these experiences."
Madam Shen patted her shoulder and nodded: "You're right. People should live life to the fullest so they won't be troubled. Are you still single?"
The old lady immediately added, "Ji Heng is also single. Since your divorce, he has never been in contact with any women. Last year, when we offered to arrange blind dates for him, he refused."
This wasn't a dinner invitation; it was clearly a matchmaking event.
Han Xi calmly said, "I already have someone I'm dating, and our relationship is very stable. We plan to get married this year."
These words made the two of them stiffen for a moment, but Madam Shen quickly smiled and said, "You've been divorced for many years, it's normal for you to have boyfriends. Today we're just getting together, let's not talk about anything else, let's continue looking at the photos."
Han Xi changed the subject because she didn't want to see the photos, but it seemed like Madam Shen was doing it on purpose. Could it be that she knew something?
Han Xi could only keep quiet and chat with them until after dinner, when she made an excuse to leave first.
Han Xi let out a long sigh of relief as he stepped out of the old house.
Madam Shen seemed to be testing something, but thanks to her quick wit, she didn't let them discover the problem.
She was about to hail a taxi home when a Maybach pulled up in front of her.
The car window rolled down, and Han Xi asked in surprise, "Si Ye? What are you doing here? When did you return to the country?"
"I'm going back to China this afternoon. I went to the Gu family's house to look for you, and they said you were here, so I came to pick you up. Get in the car!"
Bo Siye really can't be taken lightly. Han Xi returned to the country without telling him, which made him rush back immediately.
I didn't expect her to get involved with the Shen family after only two days back, so of course I have to keep a close eye on her.
Han Xi got into the car and said with a smile, "It must be tiring to sit on a plane for several hours. You should rest at home. There's no need for you to come and pick me up personally."
