Chapter 129 Don't force me to hit you
Shen Jiheng returned to his room, closed his eyes, and leaned wearily against the sofa. He was thinking about how to resolve this matter reasonably so as not to harm the company or cause trouble for Han Xi.
Thinking of Han Xi, the image of her holding a child flashes in my mind. Their appearances and expressions are so similar, it's hard to shake the image off.
He even thought Han Xi and that child were mother and daughter...
Shen Jiheng quickly opened his eyes. How could he have such an outrageous idea? That child was clearly Gu Beichen's illegitimate daughter.
But for a fleeting moment, Shen Jiheng did have a sliver of hope!
That evening, Shen Jiheng went to Hengtian Hospital to visit the old lady. While walking down the corridor, he heard arguing coming from the ward.
"Get out! Get out of here! I never want to see you again, you unfilial son!"
"You shameless scoundrel, you still have the nerve to come back? I don't want to hear your nonsense, and I won't let you get away with it. Get out of here."
"Why can't you two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, communicate? I've tried to reason with you, don't be ungrateful."
Upon hearing these words, Shen Jiheng realized something was wrong and quickened his pace. Sure enough, he saw Shen Qingzhou inside, which made the old lady blush with anger.
He strode forward, grabbed Shen Qingzhou's clothes, dragged her to the door, and pushed her out.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I warn you not to go near them?"
This person is utterly shameless; he did so many heinous things in just one day since he came back.
Shen Qingzhou elegantly tugged at his suit jacket, and said unhappily, "Don't be so rude, be more steady in your actions."
Shen Jiheng gave him another push, sending him straight into the corridor, and then closed the ward door.
Shen Qingzhou pointed at him and scolded, "You're not acting like a son at all. You should be helping me and your grandmother get along well. Harmony in the family brings prosperity. We're family after all."
Such shameless words will only make Shen Jiheng angrier.
"Don't make me hit you. Tell me, what are you doing here!"
If he truly cared about his parents and wanted to visit them, he wouldn't have remained silent for ten years.
Shen Qingzhou smiled and said, "I really came to visit your grandmother. It's been ten years since we last met. I've come to apologize to her. Please say a few good words for me."
Shen Jiheng raised his fist; if he continued to spout such nonsense, he would really take action.
The smile on Shen Qingzhou's face vanished, replaced by a cold expression.
"Since you're not going to show any mercy, I won't pretend with you anymore. I came here to talk to your mother about something, but she gets agitated when she sees me, and I'm in a difficult position."
What do you want to talk about?
Shen Qingzhou immediately adopted a worried expression.
"To be honest, it was my fault. I failed in my responsibilities as a husband, leaving your mother alone in an empty house for ten years. I came back this time because I want to divorce her."
Shen Jiheng sneered: "A person like you doesn't deserve to be her husband. According to the new marriage law, you haven't seen each other for two years, so you can be granted a divorce. It's a very simple matter."
He didn't want this scumbag to keep delaying his mother, but since he left back then and only returned now, he should take care of those unfinished business.
Shen Qingzhou gave a sly smile, loosened his tie, and said, "Of course I know that, but I'm having financial problems right now. If we get a divorce, your mother will have to leave with nothing."
"...So you haven't come back to divorce her all these years because you're afraid she'll take your assets?"
Shen Jiheng truly hated the blood flowing through his veins at this moment.
Even though his divorce from Han Xi was messy, he was willing to give up half of his assets. Yet this man, who kept saying he owed his wife something, still wanted to make her leave with nothing.
Seeing his anger, Shen Qingzhou smiled and said, "Don't react so strongly. I can make it up to her in the future, but this time, the divorce is inevitable."
Shen Jiheng laughed in anger, thinking of the woman he had brought back this time, and roughly understood his intentions.
"If I'm not mistaken, you want to marry a young wife, which is why you're in a hurry to come back and divorce my mother. You're also reluctant to give up the business you've built up over the years, so you want her to leave with nothing."
"Think what you want. Anyway, she won't leave, so I'm just letting things drag on. I don't lose anything."
Shen Jiheng clenched his fist and walked over, saying coldly, "You should be glad we're related by blood, otherwise I really would have killed you."
Shen Qingzhou patted his shoulder with a smug smile on his face.
"Ji Heng, your impulsiveness is likely to lead to trouble. You should have received the lawyer's letter I sent you, right? Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Shen Jiheng had only one thought flash through his mind: he should make this person disappear from Chongqing, which would solve all the current troubles.
Seeing that he remained silent, Shen Qingzhou continued, "I have plenty of time, but you are different. And there's your ex-wife, Han Xi. Her company is about to launch a new product for its tenth anniversary, and she probably doesn't want any negative impact."
He really understood these things thoroughly, and he wanted to exploit Shen Jiheng's weaknesses to do these things.
Shen Jiheng glanced at him and chuckled, "You seem a bit too confident, and it seems you don't understand me or my ex-wife at all."
Shen Qingzhou thought he was just being stubborn, and said with a smile, "Then we'll wait and see. You still have one day to consider it."
After saying that, he left leisurely, completely unaware that the person staring at him from behind was actually harboring murderous intent.
Shen Jiheng took a deep breath to adjust his mindset. He walked to the outside of the ward, but stopped when he heard the crying inside. After hesitating for a moment, he sent a message to Han Xi.
Half an hour later, Han Xi drove over and saw Shen Jiheng looking helpless in the corridor.
He leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and eyes closed, looking desolate.
Having known him for so long, this was the first time Han Xi had ever seen him with this expression.
"Shen Jiheng, how is Grandma?"
Han Xi received a message from Shen Jiheng at home and rushed over immediately. In her heart, she already regarded the two elders as family.
When Shen Jiheng lifted the curtain and his gaze was filled with her, his heart seemed to have found its home.
Han Xi saw that he was in a daze and waved his hand again.
"Did you hear me? How are your aunt and grandmother doing?"
"I haven't gone in yet, but the crying has stopped, so things should be getting better."
Shen Jiheng is not good at comforting people; it's better to leave this kind of thing to Han Xi.
It is undeniable that he once hurt his wife, which is no different from his scumbag father. Therefore, if Madam Shen sees him now, she will definitely remember many bad things.
"Then let's not wait any longer, I'll go in and take a look."
Shen Jiheng grasped her hand, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Han Xi, thank you for coming over. They're all yours now."
Han Xi looked at him in confusion: "Aren't you coming in with me?"
Shen Jiheng shook his head: "I have something to take care of. I'll contact you later."
He seemed very down, probably because he was struggling with how to deal with Shen Qingzhou.
No matter how much he hates this person, he is still his biological father, and he must have many concerns.
Watching his dejected figure leave, Han Xi felt a strange unease. She knew she felt sorry for the man and wished him a lifetime of bad luck, so she had to hold back.
