Chapter 126 Unexpected Calamity
Han Xiao was so angry that her chest heaved. She had originally wanted to play the victim to gain sympathy, but Han Xi was unmoved and instead humiliated her.
She threatened, "Han Xi, since you are so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Han Xi smiled calmly and replied, "I advise you not to court death, or I guarantee you'll regret it."
Han Xi had a hundred ways to deal with her, but he simply disdained to fight with such a person.
Han Xiao nodded angrily, "Then we'll see."
No matter what, Han Xiao must find a way to acquire assets, even if it's just a small amount, enough for her to squander for a while.
Seeing her storm off, Han Xi truly witnessed what shamelessness meant. This Han Xiao was a cancer; she had to be very careful, lest she get bitten without even realizing it.
After the meeting, Han Xi sent the latest design draft to Shen Jiheng.
Although she disliked this person, she had to admit that he was very business-minded and could pinpoint the problems in her company.
When Zhuo Qingqian called around noon, Han Xi thought she wanted to invite her to lunch, but instead heard her say anxiously, "Xi Xi, there's a big problem."
Han Xi asked curiously, "What's wrong? What terrible case have you encountered that's making you so anxious?"
Zhuo Qingqian said, "Someone wants to sue Shen Jiheng."
Han Xi was indeed curious. Given Shen Jiheng's status and position in Yucheng, who would dare to oppose him?
However, considering that this person usually acts too ostentatiously, he may have offended some powerful figures, so it's not surprising that he's being sued.
"Anyway, he's capable, he can definitely solve it, why are you in such a hurry?"
Zhuo Qingqian said urgently, "If it were only him who would be sued, I wouldn't have told you. The other party is also going to sue you."
Han Xi was amused by these words. This was an unexpected disaster; someone had actually accused her.
"That's really interesting. Which expert was so bored and looking for trouble that they went to sue me?"
"It's Shen Jiheng's father, Shen Qingzhou. He's suing you, saying that 20 percent of the property you received in the divorce settlement four years ago was assets he had created, and he wants you to return that money."
"......"
Han Xi was speechless. She shouldn't have stopped Shen Jiheng today; she should have let him give that bastard a good beating.
Lately, she doesn't know if she's been plagued by bad luck, but she keeps encountering these upsetting things. Where did Shen Qingzhou get the shamelessness to sue her?
Although he knew that he would definitely have a property dispute with Shen Jiheng, he did not expect to drag her into it.
It seems that there's no escaping a sudden and unexpected disaster.
Zhuo Qingqian added, "He brought a professional legal team with him when he came back from abroad this time. He came to our law firm this morning to negotiate, hoping to work together to help him win this case."
Han Xi sighed, now fully understanding how Shen Jiheng felt about this person.
If thoughts could kill a person, Shen Qingzhou would have died countless times.
"Has Mr. Li accepted this case?"
Han Xi knew that the law firm was ultimately controlled by its boss, Li Hai, and Zhuo Qingqian had no say in the matter.
Zhuo Qingqian replied, "After understanding the situation, President Li will definitely not accept it. How can he help bad guys deal with his own employees? Moreover, according to President Li's analysis, he can't win either, and I'm afraid it will bring great negative impact."
Shen Jiheng's career is now booming, at its most glorious moment, and Shen Qingzhou wants to take the opportunity to take half of his assets.
Even if Shen Jiheng doesn't give him a single penny, his status will indeed bring trouble to the Shen family and even the Shen clan.
However, Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Li Hai was not taking the case, which meant that Shen Qingzhou would have even less of a chance.
However, the fact that he brought a professional team should not be underestimated.
"Qianqian, thanks to you for telling me this information in time, I will contact Shen Jiheng right away and ask him to come up with a solution as soon as possible, so that we are not caught off guard."
"Okay, I'll let you know if there's any other news. Be careful during this time. Also, Mr. Li said you're welcome to come back to the team anytime. There's still a place for you in our law firm."
Han Xi said gratefully, "Please thank President Li for me. I'll treat him to dinner another day."
Han Xi wanted to go back to the law firm, but given the current situation, she couldn't leave.
She packed her things and prepared to go find Shen Jiheng, but just as she got into the car, she received a call from Gu Beichen saying that Han Yumo had gotten lost in the park. She was so anxious that she immediately drove over.
When Han Xi arrived at the park, she saw Gu Beichen carrying Han Yuxuan and searching for her everywhere, while other staff members were also helping to search.
Han Xi quickly ran up to him and called out, "Bei Chen, is there any news?"
Han Yuxuan immediately opened his arms and rushed to his mother when he saw her. Han Xi held him in her arms, her face full of worry.
Gu Beichen looked remorseful and slapped his head.
"Han Xi, it's all my fault for being careless and not taking good care of Yu Mo. She needed to use the restroom, and Bei Chen and I waited for her at the door. Then, I took Bei Chen to the self-service machine next door to buy a bottle of water. When we came back, she hadn't come out for a while, so I asked someone to go in and check, but there was no one inside."
After Gu Beichen finished speaking, he lowered his head. He had brought his two children to the park in high spirits today, thinking that he had taken good care of them. He never expected that his children would disappear when he was not watching the entrance for a moment.
Han Xi said anxiously, "Let's split up and search first. If that doesn't work, we'll call the police. I saw a lot of people in the park today, so they probably just got separated."
Gu Beichen raised his hand as if to slap himself, but Han Xi stopped him.
"Don't hit yourself. You brought them out to play out of kindness, and it's true that children can easily get lost in places like this. Let's look for someone first."
Now is not the time to blame him. Gu Beichen has been taking care of both children recently, and Han Xi can see his dedication.
Now that his child is lost, he is more anxious and remorseful than anyone else, so how could Han Xi bear to blame him again?
Gu Beichen nodded and asked the staff to bring a loudspeaker and shout loudly.
The key issue is Han Yumo's situation. Even if she hears someone calling her, she might not come out, for fear that she will be taken away by bad people.
On the side of the park road, Shen Jiheng looked at the little girl who was hugging his leg with a puzzled expression. To be precise, she was Gu Beichen's illegitimate daughter.
Shen Jiheng's car broke down on the side of the road. He just got out of the car to get some fresh air when the little one crawled out from under the fence and hugged him.
Just like what happened at the airport that day, they hugged me and wouldn't let go.
Shen Jiheng squatted down and looked at her, curiously glancing behind her, but didn't see Gu Beichen's shadow.
"I remember your name is Gu Yumo, right? Why are you alone again? Where is your father?"
Han Yumo blinked and reached out to him for a hug.
Shen Jiheng was in a very bad mood today. He had just received news that his unscrupulous father was going to sue him, and he was planning to go to Han Xi to discuss countermeasures.
This time, Shen Qingzhou not only sued him, but also implicated Han Xi.
He must have been holding a grudge after being humiliated by Han Xi today, which is why he thought of dragging her into this mess.
Shen Jiheng's heart was like a raging fire, ready to explode at any moment. Then, the car problem on the road pushed his anger to its peak.
However, at this very moment, the little girl reappeared.
