Chapter 128 Trying to Disassociate Themselves
Shen Jiheng could clearly sense her urgency and asked curiously, "You seem to be in a hurry."
How could Han Xi not be anxious? Both children were here; what if he noticed something was wrong?
She had a sudden inspiration and said, "Your father sued me, and you know that Han Shu Group's new product is about to be released. If this gets serious, it will definitely have a negative impact on the company. Of course, this problem needs to be resolved as soon as possible."
That does explain why she was in such a hurry.
The new product launched by Hanshu Group to celebrate its 10th anniversary must be of high quality and cannot be defective.
Gu Beichen quickly added, "I've been out for too long, I should go back now. Yumo, come here, Dad will take you home."
Gu Beichen reached out his hand to her, but this time Han Yumo hugged her mother's neck and refused to let go.
Normally, when Han Xi isn't around, this fake dad can at least give him a hug, but now that Han Xi is here, the chances of him doing so are zero.
"Yu Mo, I'll buy you cotton candy later, come over quickly." Gu Beichen continued to coax her despite the pressure.
The child remained unmoved, lying motionless in Han Xi's arms.
Shen Jiheng cast curious glances at her, and Han Xi could only pat her daughter's back and gently comfort her.
"Yumo, be good. You go back with your brother and the others first. I'll be back in a bit, okay?"
Han Yumo reluctantly let go, looking at her and calling out again, "Mommy~"
Fortunately, thanks to the groundwork laid earlier, Shen Jiheng didn't think too much about it.
Han Xi was already anxious, so she immediately handed him to Gu Beichen and gave him a look to hurry up and leave.
Gu Beichen nodded awkwardly; this life had truly been thrilling.
He took Han Yuxuan's hand and said with a smile, "Son, let's go home and continue playing."
Han Yuxuan nodded obediently, remembering her mother's words: she would definitely be able to expose her identity outside.
Moreover, he sensed that his mother seemed very nervous about this uncle named Shen Jiheng, so he couldn't let his guard down.
Gu Beichen left with the child under the watchful eyes of the others. Han Xi noticed that Shen Jiheng's gaze was still following them, so she immediately interrupted.
“My car is up ahead, we need to find a place to talk about this.”
Han Xi's composure made Shen Jiheng not think too much about it, after all, there was still a troublesome matter to be resolved.
Qin Chuan was still puzzled. As an outsider, he felt that there were too many coincidences in the events.
Han Xi drove to a Western restaurant, and Shen Jiheng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you treating me to dinner?"
Han Xi smiled and said, "You helped me a lot last time, so this is my way of thanking you."
Shen Jiheng looked flattered; this was not something Han Xi would do.
Of course, in order to make him forget about seeing the child as soon as possible and to divert his attention, Han Xi had no choice but to make a sacrifice for now.
At the dinner table, Han Xi asked, "How do you plan to resolve your father's matter?"
Shen Jiheng countered, "As a lawyer, what do you think would be more beneficial for us?"
Han Xi put down his knife and fork and said seriously, "Of course we should make him withdraw the lawsuit and resolve this privately. Otherwise, going to court will affect both of our companies. The most important point is that we are afraid he will reveal this to the media."
Shen Jiheng naturally understood this simple principle. The key was that Shen Qingzhou's purpose in doing this was to force him to resolve the matter privately.
If those unreasonable demands were made again, Shen Jiheng feared he would have to put aside his own family for the greater good.
"I've heard that he's started contacting the media. Knowing him as I do, if he doesn't get what he wants, he'll definitely make a big deal out of it. I'm sorry to involve you."
Han Xi sighed helplessly. It was just that she was incredibly unlucky that this kind of thing could be dragged into her life.
“I have another way to escape the war between you and your father.”
Shen Jiheng knew she didn't want to get involved, so he raised his chin.
"Tell me about it."
“He is now pointing out that there is a problem with the division of property during our divorce, specifically claiming that 20% belongs to him. I will return that to you, and he will only need to resolve the issue with you and will not bother me again.”
"......"
Shen Jiheng shook his head with a wry smile; it turned out she wanted to distance herself from the situation.
Han Xi added, "You can't blame me for being selfish. This was originally a problem of your family, and it has nothing to do with me anymore. He's coming here to make trouble, and you should have resolved it yourself."
Han Xi's words were sharp and incisive, leaving Shen Jiheng powerless to refute them.
He nodded and said, "You're right. I'll communicate with him and won't bring trouble to you."
Han Xi laughed and said, "That would be for the best. You should understand that I can't afford to have anything go wrong right now, otherwise it will be embarrassing for everyone."
Shen Jiheng smiled and picked up his knife and fork again. The current Han Xi knew how to weigh the pros and cons and was no longer the woman who could be slaughtered at will.
"Don't worry, no matter where this fire spreads, it won't reach you. Thank you for treating me to dinner today."
However, Shen Jiheng did not feel very comfortable during the meal.
Han Xi could sense that he was in low spirits, but it was not her place to comfort him.
In the afternoon, after they returned to their respective companies, Qin Chuan handed him a lawyer's letter.
"President, this was sent by the old man. He said you should contact him after you've thought it through, otherwise, we'll see you in court the day after tomorrow."
Shen Jiheng gripped the lawyer's letter tightly, wishing he could crush that person to death.
He took a deep breath and asked, "Have you found his address, and information about the people who were with him?"
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you keep track of their movements in a timely manner.
Qin Chuan nodded: "It has been found out. In addition to a professional legal team, the master brought a young woman named Yan Si with him when he came back this time. She is the general manager of an overseas e-commerce company, and the chairman of this company is the master."
Since Shen Qingzhou left Chongqing ten years ago, Shen Jiheng has never gone to look for him or inquired about his whereabouts.
I wonder what he's been doing for the past ten years, and what his purpose is in bringing this woman back.
"Continue to observe his movements and report back promptly if anything happens."
Qin Chuan nodded; he knew the company was facing unprecedented trouble this time.
The main problem is that this enemy is too special, making it difficult for Shen Jiheng to deal with.
If anyone else dared to do these things today, Shen Jiheng could make them disappear from Chongqing.
Shen Jiheng was busy until evening before he got home. As soon as he entered the door, Aunt Wang handed him a photo album.
"Sir, this is a photo album that Madam brought from the old house. She said it's a photo album from your childhood so you can take a look when you have time."
Shen Jiheng casually picked it up and tossed it on the table. He was currently overwhelmed with problems and had no interest in looking at these things.
"Okay, I'll check it when I have time."
"Also, Madam said that you should visit the Gu family more often when you have time."
Shen Jiheng frowned, puzzled, and asked, "What else did she say?"
These words were somewhat inexplicable to Shen Jiheng. He was suddenly asked to look at his childhood photo album and then asked to go and take care of the family. Could it be that there was something he wanted to remind him of?
Aunt Wang shook her head: "I don't know about that. But when Madam came at noon, she seemed to be preoccupied."
Shen Jiheng thought for a moment and said, "She's probably worried about Grandma's condition. I'll go see them later."
