Chapter 144 He's just unlucky.
The main reason is that Shen Jiheng is too credible, and Han Xi is only half-convinced by what he says.
Aunt Wang served her a bowl of hangover soup and placed it in front of her, then continued, "Last night when you came back, you cried and made a scene, and the sheets and clothes that were just changed were soiled by your vomit."
"I'm so sorry for causing you trouble." Han Xi had no idea that he had done these things while drunk.
It seems that we really should stay away from alcohol from now on.
Aunt Wang waved her hand: "It's nothing. I only changed your clothes a few times. The young master did the rest. This is the first time I've seen him so patient."
Han Xi really didn't expect Shen Jiheng to do these things. According to his previous temper, he probably would have thrown her out long ago.
"Aunt Wang, do you remember when I stopped making a fuss?"
Aunt Wang thought for a moment and said, "The last time was probably at three in the morning. The young master was originally going to rest in the living room, but when he saw you rolling on the floor again, he said he was worried and would stay, and told us to go to sleep first."
No wonder Shen Jiheng had dark circles under his eyes today; it turns out he was taking care of her last night.
So, he wasn't bullying me, but protecting me.
"Thank you, Aunt Wang, your hangover soup is great."
"If you have any social engagements in the future, just come over and let Auntie cook something for you."
Han Xi smiled politely. Of course, she couldn't possibly come back; she was too busy avoiding Shen Jiheng.
Han Xi didn't go back to the company but rushed back home. She hadn't returned home all night and didn't know the situation of the two children, which was why she was in such a hurry to leave.
As soon as she entered, she saw Gu Beichen and Zhuo Qingqian each holding one, and Han Yuxuan was laughing heartily, which put Han Xi's anxious heart at ease.
Han Yuxuan spotted her with sharp eyes and excitedly waved her little hand.
"Mom, Mom's back."
Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at the two of them.
Han Yumo's eyes immediately reddened when she saw her mother, and she opened her arms for a hug.
Han Xi took the children from Zhuo Qingqian's arms, stroked the faces of the two siblings, and said with heartache, "My two darlings, I'm sorry, Mommy is late."
Zhuo Qingqian comforted her, "Don't worry, we know you have something to do. I spent time with the two children yesterday and even told them stories. Yumo was good and didn't cry."
Gu Beichen chimed in, "The main thing is that you have a sensible and good son. With him taking care of your sister, it won't be a problem for the two of us to help out."
Han Xi felt very gratified to feel the warmth from her family.
Since her mother passed away, she had never felt any family affection in the Han family. Now that she has returned to the Gu family, everyone is giving her all their love and care.
Now he is also taking good care of the child, which touches her heart.
Thank you.
Zhuo Qingqian urged her, "We're all family, no need to be so polite. But last night you and..." She whispered a few words in Han Xi's ear, earning a glare from Han Xi.
Han Xi was both amused and exasperated: "You're so irresponsible."
Anything that comes out of the mouth of the beautiful Zhuo Da is definitely not a good thing.
Zhuo Qingqian shrugged. She was just curious. Yesterday, they saw Shen Jiheng take people away. She originally wanted to stop him, but Gu Beichen grabbed her.
This is a rare opportunity for my good brother, so Gu Beichen naturally has to lend a hand.
Besides, if you ruin Shen Jiheng's plans, he won't get away with it either.
Zhuo Qingqian clapped her hands: "Now that you're back, I'll head to the law firm first. Old Li said there have been a lot of cases lately, and he asked if you'd be interested in going back to work part-time."
Han Xi laughed and said, "Given my condition, do you think I can still go back?"
Gu Beichen also said, "I see that she's too busy to manage both the company and her child. Your boss's wishful thinking hasn't worked out."
Zhuo Qingqian was aware of this, but since the boss had spoken, she always had to bring it up.
Zhuo Qingqian patted her shoulder, respecting all her decisions.
Han Xi spent the morning at home with her child and didn't return to the company until the afternoon.
Upon seeing her, Peng Ling quickly stepped forward and asked, "President Han, how were you yesterday? I'm so sorry, President Chen insisted on taking you away, and we didn't dare to stop him."
Han Xi smiled slightly, showing no sign of blaming her.
"It's okay, he got me home safely. Are all the materials for the new product launch prepared?"
"It's ready and on your desk."
"Okay, I'll go take a look first, and I'll contact you again if there are any problems."
Han Xi didn't want people in the company to speculate about her relationship with Shen Jiheng, so she wanted to end the topic briefly.
She returned to her office and saw the documents on her desk. Just as she picked them up, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Bo Siye calling, she immediately answered.
"Siye, what's wrong?"
"Han Xi, I've been tricked by Shen Jiheng. He's now throwing a hot potato at me."
Han Xi was confused and asked, "What do you mean? I don't understand."
Bo Siye took a deep breath and said, "Shen Jiheng gave me this piece of land, and several people died during its development, but the developers covered it up."
Han Xi was stunned by these words. No wonder Shen Jiheng gave it to him so easily; he must have known these things.
"Don't worry, this is a problem on the developer's side, it has nothing to do with you."
Even if someone did die, it shouldn't be the buyer's responsibility; the developer should handle it themselves.
Bo Siye sighed and said, "Of course I know that. The key is that the family members are now making a scene at our office and blaming us for everything."
These disputes are indeed troublesome, and they involve several lives; this is a major case.
Bo Siye said angrily, "I really didn't expect that bastard Shen Jiheng to be so vicious. He knew there was a problem and still transferred it to me. He was just trying to bring me down."
That being said, this land was something Bo Siye went to great lengths to buy back, and Shen Jiheng was only unethical, not seriously wrong.
Bo Siye added, "This kind of thing has happened before the organization has even started construction, which gives us a very bad impression. Shen Jiheng did all of this on purpose."
"So what do you plan to do now?"
"First, let the developer resolve this themselves. If they refuse, I will have to sue them. Also, since Shen Jiheng intentionally concealed the truth, I want him to compensate me for emotional distress."
Hearing Bo Siyue's angry tone, Han Xi could imagine what kind of expression he had at that moment.
Indeed, Shen Jiheng went too far this time; he should at least have given the other party a heads-up.
Moreover, if this kind of thing happened to him, he could easily pass it back to the developer, but if it happened to Bo Siye, it would cause a lot of trouble.
"I think you should talk to him about this first. If he's also unaware of it, suing him won't help."
Bo Siyue said coldly, "He is treacherous and cunning; even if he knew, he wouldn't admit it."
Han Xi sighed inwardly. She understood Bo Siye's anger, but that wasn't how things were supposed to be. If Shen Jiheng really knew but refused to admit it, there was nothing anyone could do about it.
After all, this land was something Bo Siye insisted on buying, and there was no threat involved.
All business deals are risky, and it's unreasonable for him to blame Shen Jiheng for the problems that have arisen.
However, Shen Jiheng did have an element of taunting involved, and Bo Siye was unlucky.
