Chapter 175 A smart woman doesn't ask many questions
Gu Hongyi and his wife had been running around trying to get their daughter released from prison early, and they were also trying to get Gu Hanxi released on her behalf. They were just about to receive good news when they received the news of their daughter's death.
Although the old lady of the Gu family made it clear that no one was allowed to plead for Gu Hanxi, she was still her own granddaughter after all, and after a few years, the anger that should have subsided had also dissipated.
The two elderly people knew about what the couple had said, but they didn't ask about it, which means that everything was developing in a positive direction.
But now all their efforts have been in vain, leaving the two at a loss.
"Beichen, what exactly happened? How could your sister be dead!"
Gu Hongyi pounded his chest, unable to accept this reality.
Ding Shan staggered forward, grabbed her daughter's body, and shook it violently, trying to make her open her eyes.
She harbored resentment and wanted to bring her daughter out to reunite with the group as soon as possible, but what should she do now?
"Xixi, my daughter, open your eyes and look at your mother! How could you bear to leave me like this!"
Although Gu Hanxi has been in prison for years, at least the couple can visit her often and take care of her life in prison, making sure she is not bullied.
As long as their daughter was alive, they still had hope, but now, all hope is gone.
"Who killed my daughter?!" Ding Shan almost roared.
Gu Beichen said, "She was hit by a truck while crossing the road and died on the spot."
Gu Hongyi asked with great distress, "Wasn't she in prison? Why did she get out? I heard it was for a child. What exactly happened?"
Gu Beichen recounted: "Many years ago, Xixi adopted a godson. When she learned that he was seriously ill, she came out to see him off. Unexpectedly, she was trying to use the opportunity to escape, and a car accident occurred during the chase."
Gu Beichen didn't provide much information, only briefly explaining the matter.
"But I heard that Shen Jixing is also here. What's going on?"
The reason Gu Hongyi asked so many questions was that he always felt his daughter's death was not an accident, but more like it was caused by someone.
Since Shen Jiheng was present, suspicion naturally fell on him.
“That child was adopted by the Shen family back then. You know that Xixi used to do anything to please him. This time, she deliberately used taking care of him as a cover after learning that the child was seriously ill, but ended up harming herself.”
Although Gu Beichen didn't reveal the truth, what he described was true. After all, it was Gu Hanxi who was courting disaster from beginning to end, so she had no one else to blame but herself.
Hearing this, Gu Hongyi sighed, then turned his gaze to Han Xi and asked seriously, "Han Xi was also there. Is it really as he said?"
The fact that he would ask other people shows that he still has doubts.
Han Xi nodded: "That's right. We tried our best to dissuade her and told her that there was danger, but she wouldn't listen and only wanted to escape. I am also heartbroken about what happened. Please accept my condolences, Uncle."
Ding Shan cried out in anguish, "My silly daughter, we only need to wait two more months, why are you in such a hurry?"
Now, her family all say that there are no objections from Ding Shan anymore.
Gu Beichen put his arms around his parents' shoulders and comforted them, "Mom and Dad, don't be sad. This is fate. No one knows when tomorrow or an accident will happen, so we should cherish each other."
With the reassurance of Gu Beichen and Han Xi, the two finally calmed down.
The traffic accident was quite simple. The driver was not seriously negligent. The turning point was a blind spot, and it was Gu Hanxi's reckless driving that caused the accident.
In addition, since the perpetrator was sincere and willing to take full responsibility for his mistakes, the Gu family did not pursue the matter further.
The inpatient department of Hengtian Hospital tonight!
Bai Xue lay listlessly in her hospital bed, staring at the ceiling every day when she opened her eyes.
Although Shen Jiheng instructed the medical staff to treat her with the best medicine, Bai Xue knew very well that he was doing so out of consideration for her helping the old lady, and also to find out what happened back then.
Although Shen Jiheng has found many clues and Gu Hanxi has implicated her, Bai Xue is still gritting her teeth and refusing to admit it. She is waiting for an opportunity.
Her biggest worry now is what will happen to her after she recovers and is discharged from the hospital.
Footsteps came from outside the ward. Bai Xue subconsciously turned her head and saw a familiar tall figure standing at the door. Startled, she quickly sat up.
"You... how did you get here? Didn't we agree not to meet in private and not to let anyone know we know each other?!"
Bo Siye sneered, "No need to be so nervous. I must have come here with a foolproof plan. Besides, I'm just passing by."
Bai Xue felt a chill run down her spine when she saw this man. This seemingly gentle and refined nobleman was so cruel that he frightened her.
She quickly calmed down and realized something was wrong. They usually pretended not to know each other when they met, so why did Bo Siyue take the initiative to appear in her hospital room and greet her today?
Seeing her expression, Bo Siye couldn't help but laugh.
"I've come to tell you some good news."
Bai Xue knew that any good news he mentioned must be bad news about someone else.
She stared intently at Bo Siyue and asked cautiously, "What do you mean by 'good news'?"
Bo Siye laughed and said, "Gu Hanxi is dead. Now you can insist that everything was threatened and instigated by her, and Shen Jiheng and Han Xi will believe you."
Bai Xue stared wide-eyed in disbelief, unable to process what she'd just said for a moment. She asked in surprise, "You mean Gu Hanxi is dead? How could that be? Did something happen to her in prison?"
Bo Siye smiled but remained silent, gazing at her with a meaningful look.
Bai Xue felt a chill run down her spine, swallowed hard, and said, "Could it be that you're behind this again? It seems like you're making a big move."
Bo Siye smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to care what I did. As long as you obey me from now on, I will give you everything you want."
Bai Xue was puzzled; what exactly had this person done?
"Your biggest wish is to be the daughter of the Gu family and the wife of Shen Jiheng. I can give you both of those."
It was clear that this person's power and ability were inferior to Shen Jiheng's, yet Bai Xue believed his words without a doubt.
The devil is always one step ahead of the saint; who can outwit someone who resorts to underhanded tricks behind people's backs?
But Bai Xue didn't care. As long as she could achieve her goal, what did it matter if she was his pawn?
Besides, now that Gu Hanxi is dead, she is the only granddaughter of the Gu family, which gives her a significant advantage.
"Okay, as long as you can give me it, I'll do whatever you ask."
"You should focus on recovering from your injury and get better as soon as possible, then go and win Shen Jiheng's heart."
“I want to, but I’ve tried countless methods over the years, and he still won’t accept me.”
Bo Siye said confidently, "As long as you are determined, I will help you."
Bai Xue discovered that Bo Siye had changed; she used to think that his desire to deal with Shen Jiheng was merely to obtain Han Xi.
But now it feels like he wants to destroy everything related to Shen Jiheng.
A smart woman wouldn't ask too many questions. She nodded gratefully, "Thank you in advance. I will never forget your kindness when I achieve great success."
