Chapter 182 He really is different from before
Ding Shan completely lost control of her emotions, and Gu Hongyi called several servants to take her back to her room. However, if this situation continued, it would cause trouble for the whole family.
Seeing that Old Madam Gu was also frightened, Han Xi first helped her back to her room.
"Han Xi, don't take your aunt's words to heart. She lost control of her emotions due to excessive grief."
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Grandma Gu spoke up for her. As a woman and a mother herself, she knew Ding Shan's pain at losing her child.
When Grandma Gu lost her daughter, she lived in a daze for several years, always blaming her family for her mistakes, which caused quite a stir.
Now the tragedy has befallen Ding Shan, and the old lady can relate.
"It's clear that my aunt has accumulated a lot of resentment over the years, and now that it has completely erupted, it's just that my uncle and everyone else are suffering."
"It will get better, it just will take some time."
Han Xi patted her shoulder: "Grandma, don't think too much, just get some rest."
After calming the two elderly people downstairs, Han Xi saw Gu Beichen standing in the courtyard, lost in thought.
Gu Hanxi's death had a significant impact on the Gu family, especially with Ding Shan causing trouble every day, leaving them in a state of constant depression.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Beichen turned around and smiled helplessly, "I heard something happened at home again, so I rushed back."
Han Xi knew what he was referring to and asked with concern, "How is your aunt?"
Gu Beichen sighed: "The family doctor just gave my mom a sedative, otherwise this would never have ended."
Originally, his successful proposal was a great thing, and he even planned to prepare for the wedding, but these things delayed things.
Given Ding Shan's current situation, the wedding will definitely have to be postponed, so her mood is naturally not very good.
"Brother, Aunt needs to go to the hospital for psychological and drug treatment."
“You’re right. I thought she would be fine after a couple of days of sadness, but now it’s gotten worse. We should take her to get checked out.”
"We should provide counseling as soon as possible to help her regain her senses."
Gu Beichen nodded: "I'll discuss it with Dad later, and we'll take her there tomorrow morning."
Han Xi then suggested, "Let's go to Hengtian Hospital. They have the best psychology department there. I'll talk to Ji Heng in advance and have him make the arrangements."
Gu Beichen took a deep breath and placed his hands on Han Xi's shoulders. From beginning to end, she was the biggest victim in this whole affair.
"It's so good to have you by my side."
He thought Han Xi would rather hear this than say thank you.
Han Xi smiled knowingly. Now she and her family were of one mind and she didn't want to lose any of her relatives.
next day
Early in the morning, Gu Hongyi and his son brought Ding Shan to Hengtian Hospital. Shen Jiheng had already made arrangements, and a psychological expert was already waiting.
Shen Jiheng naturally couldn't show up, so Qin Chuan led the way throughout.
After Ding Shan entered the examination room, the two people who had been standing in the corner came out.
Han Xi couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's really unfair to make the dignified President Shen hide behind you."
After Han Xi told Shen Jiheng about this idea last night, he started making preparations.
"Since you think I've been wronged, shouldn't you make it up to me?"
Han Xi glanced at him: "I just don't know what kind of compensation President Shen wants."
Shen Jiheng leaned closer, coughed lightly, and said, "A good morning kiss shouldn't be too much to ask."
Han Xi raised her hand and gently patted his face.
"I think we should slap the person who's being a hooligan first thing in the morning."
Shen Jiheng's eyes were full of doting affection as he casually added, "Next week is Grandma's birthday banquet, and I'm planning a grand feast. I'm sure you won't be absent."
Han Xi would definitely attend such an important day, but with so many people around, she would inevitably become the subject of gossip and criticism as Shen Jiheng's ex-wife.
"Grandma has always been frugal, why is she having such a big banquet this time?"
"They probably wanted to bring more life and liveliness to the old house."
Perhaps people change as they get older, and Han Xi didn't want to pry into other people's affairs.
"I will go."
Shen Jiheng added, "Bai Xue will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. As her grandmother's benefactor, she will also be present."
Han Xi felt a little uncomfortable when this name was mentioned. Looking at Shen Jiheng's expression, had this woman completely cleared her name?
She tentatively asked, "Don't you blame Bai Xue for what she did back then?"
Shen Jiheng pondered for a moment and said, "In the end, she was forced into it. Plus, she risked her life to save Grandma, and this time she even risked her life to help you. This kindness..."
"Can this favor outweigh the loss of my child from the murder I suffered back then?" Han Xi interrupted him with a sharp tone.
Even if she was forced into it, she was still involved in the whole process.
The excuse that she harms others out of fear of being hurt is invalid.
Seeing her gaze turn cold, Shen Jiheng said with a headache, "That's not what I meant. Of course she should be punished."
Han Xi said angrily, "But she hasn't been punished yet, and she's even being invited to the birthday banquet by the Shen family as their benefactor. With that, who would dare to touch her?"
Shen Jiheng did not expect her to react so strongly to this matter and tried to comfort her.
"I know you're still blaming me. Leave this to me, and I'll give you a satisfactory explanation."
"That would be for the best. Otherwise, I will also use legal means to protect myself."
Han Xi has not forgiven Bai Xue for what she did back then, and she must be punished accordingly.
Shen Jiheng said firmly, "Han Xi, whatever you want to do, I will support you with all my might. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."
Seeing his righteous words, it seemed he wasn't just deceiving himself. The current Shen Jiheng was truly different from the one in the past.
Seeing the sharpness fade from Han Xi's eyes, Shen Jiheng knew that she had relaxed.
"There's a nice restaurant nearby. Consider this an apology for what I said earlier."
"I think you're just using this as an excuse to invite me to dinner."
"Would Mr. Han do me the honor?"
Han Xi thought for a moment and nodded. Considering that he had personally helped arrange the experts, he couldn't refuse, since he would need to take care of things during the treatment process.
The two left the hospital chatting and laughing, completely unaware that a pair of eyes were watching their every move from upstairs.
Bo Siye clenched his teeth. He was trying to separate the two of them, but unexpectedly, it only brought them closer together, which was really infuriating.
He walked to the door of the counseling room, a wicked smile spreading across his face. His next plan was about to begin here.
An hour later, Gu Hongyi helped Ding Shan out. After more than an hour of psychological counseling, Ding Shan's emotions had stabilized a lot.
Gu Hongyi had wanted to bring her to the hospital before, but Ding Shan refused. Fortunately, Gu Beichen persuaded her to come this time.
"Honey, don't think about anything. Just go home, take your medicine, and get some rest, as the doctor said. We'll come back in a few days."
Ding Shan no longer resisted as before, but felt uneasy thinking about the trouble she had caused her family recently.
"Honey, you've worked so hard these past few days. I'm going to the restroom. You guys wait for me in the car."
