Chapter 130 So that's how important she is
Han Xi ultimately didn't call out to him, watching his back disappear from sight.
She can't forget the pain once the wound has healed; she doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes she made back then.
Han Xi adjusted her mindset and knocked on the door of the ward. The two elderly women immediately smiled when they saw her.
"Han Xi, what brings you here?"
Seeing that Madam Shen still had tears in her eyes, Han Xi opened his arms and stepped forward to give her a hug.
Madam Shen hugged her with a heavy heart. In such a low mood, nothing made her happier than seeing Han Xi.
Shen Jiheng really understood the thoughts of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, which is why he brought her here.
The old lady held her hand, her eyes full of affection: "Child, you've worked so hard, making two trips every day, taking up your rest time."
Han Xi sat by the hospital bed and said with a smile, "I'm not tired. If you're ever bored and miss me, you can contact me anytime. I'll come and keep you company whenever I have time."
Madam Shen said with a heavy heart, "If only I had a child as obedient as you."
Her two children only make her angry, and they even drove away such a good daughter-in-law. If she had to choose, she would be like the old lady and would rather live with her daughter-in-law.
The old lady also said, "Han Xi, you might as well live with us from now on. Even if you don't want that boy Shen Jiheng, I can still treat you like my granddaughter."
Han Xi had always felt their kindness, which was why she hadn't completely lost hope in the Shen family.
Han Xi smiled and said, "Grandma, we're doing just fine as we are now. I will always consider you my family."
“Mom, it’s good that Han Xi can come to see us often now. She has her own family too, and we can’t be selfish and keep her trapped by our side.” Madam Shen chimed in, and even the way she looked at Han Xi was a little different.
When Han Xi met her gaze, she always felt that Madam Shen seemed to want to say something to her.
The old lady only regretted giving birth to an ungrateful son, whose disappointment made her have no hope for the future.
Madam Shen glanced at the time and said with concern, "Han Xi, it's almost ten o'clock. If you come over like this, won't the family have any objections?"
Han Xi smiled and said, "My maternal grandparents are very understanding. They said they were very grateful for the care you gave me back then, and they also told me to spend more time with my paternal grandmother."
Madam Shen smiled and nodded. In fact, she had secretly sent someone to investigate the Gu family and discovered that on the day Han Xi returned to the country, Gu Beichen brought back a pair of twins.
Although he claims to be Gu Beichen's illegitimate son abroad, given his reputation in Chongqing, it's not surprising.
Strangely, the child Madam Shen saw last time looked exactly like Shen Jiheng when he was a child, making her unable to help but suspect the child's true identity.
Madam Shen bribed a servant in the Gu family and found out that the two children usually called Han Xi "Mom" and Gu Beichen "Uncle." If that's the case, the two children are very likely Han Xi's children.
This discovery overjoyed Madam Shen, who speculated that Han Xi might not have miscarried back then, but rather gave birth to her and her siblings abroad.
She originally wanted to tell Shen Jiheng about this, but considering their current relationship and Han Xi's intention to arrange things this way, she wanted to confirm the true identities of the brother and sister before doing so.
She specially asked Aunt Wang to take Shen Jiheng's childhood photo album so that her simple-minded son could carefully examine it.
Unfortunately, Shen Jiheng's mind was entirely on Han Xi, and he didn't seem to pay attention to anything else.
Now that his heartless father has come back to fight for the inheritance, it will be even harder for Shen Jiheng to find out about the child.
"Auntie, what are you thinking about?"
Han Xi noticed her staring blankly at her and wondered about her change in behavior today.
Madam Shen smiled awkwardly: "What happened today was a bit sudden, and I wasn't mentally prepared."
Thinking of what Shen Jiheng had sent, Han Xi patted her on the shoulder.
"Auntie, don't worry about it. You go home and rest tonight. I'll stay and take care of Grandma."
"Aren't you going back?"
Does Madam Shen mean she doesn't need to go home to take care of the children? I was just worried that the children would be noisy if she came out too late.
Han Xi smiled and said, "I've already spoken to your grandparents. I see you're not feeling well, so you should go home first."
Zhuo Qingqian will be coming over tonight. With her and Gu Beichen there, taking care of the siblings will be no problem at all.
Han Xi noticed the surprise flash across Madam Chen's face, but couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
The old lady also spoke up: "Han Xi is right. You've been with me for two days. Go back and rest. Come back tomorrow."
Madam Shen was indeed exhausted; after all, she was not a young woman, and her body couldn't take it after just two days of staying up.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work tonight, Han Xi. Call me if anything happens. Mom, you should get some rest too. I'm going home now."
Han Xi escorted her to the elevator. Seeing that Madam Shen seemed hesitant to speak, Han Xi assumed she was worried about Shen Qingzhou's situation and reassured her, "Auntie, don't worry too much. Ji Heng will definitely handle these matters well."
Madam Shen knew that saying certain things would disrupt the balance between them, so she nodded gently and entered the elevator.
She was just praying that the two children were indeed descendants of the Shen family.
Midnight~
The old lady was already fast asleep, while Han Xi was still writing promotional plans for new products on the computer.
This is her first project after officially returning to the company, so she definitely wants to do it well.
The ward door was gently opened, and Han Xi looked over to see Shen Jiheng peeking half his head in. He beckoned to Han Xi with his finger, and she put down her computer and tiptoed out.
Han Xi glanced at the time subconsciously; it was almost one in the morning. What was he doing here?
Shen Jiheng held up the food box in his hand and smiled, "I guessed you hadn't rested yet, so I brought you a midnight snack."
Han Xi glanced at it curiously; it was her favorite crayfish, and Shen Jiheng actually remembered it.
Shen Jiheng took her hand and led her to the pavilion in the courtyard, then took out a cup of hot milk from his backpack.
"I heard you can't sleep if you drink milk tea at night, so I brought you milk. Eat and drink your fill and then get a good night's sleep."
Han Xi chuckled softly. Shen Jiheng's tone of voice now sounded like he was coaxing a primary school student.
"How did things go? Did it go smoothly? I noticed your aunt isn't in a good mood. Could you spend more time with her and try to comfort her?"
Hearing these heartwarming words, Shen Jiheng stared at her blankly. How could he not have known before that Han Xi was so important in this family?
If I had known I would be so reluctant to let her go, I really shouldn't have let her leave back then.
Han Xi couldn't help but laugh when he saw him staring blankly. "What's wrong with you two today? You both seem to be easily distracted. Do I have some kind of magic that has stolen your souls?"
Shen Jiheng's lips curved into a beautiful smile.
"Your magic goes far beyond that; you also possess healing abilities."
Han Xi gave a wry smile. If she had the ability to heal, then who could heal her?
The pain I've suffered has scabbed over in my heart, but it will still hurt if I touch it.
Seeing her unusual expression, Shen Jiheng changed the subject.
“That man came back not only to fight for half of my property, but also to force my mother to divorce her husband and marry his beautiful wife.”
Han Xi asked curiously, "I always thought they had already divorced when they separated back then, how come it's dragged on until today?"
Shen Jiheng found it difficult to speak, and replied with difficulty, "Because that person is worried that my mother will take away his property if we divorce."
