Chapter 219 Helping Those in Injustice
The next day, the old lady seemed to have forgotten that she was the birthday girl.
Since the two children arrived, she has lost interest in greeting guests and left all the work to Shen Jiheng, wanting only to spend time with her two great-grandchildren.
Seeing how much the two elders doted on the child, Han Xi was naturally happy, but given her status, it was inappropriate for her to greet the guests, so she could only stay in the living room to keep them company.
Qin Chuan hurriedly came to the living room, walked to Han Xi's side and whispered a few words, and Han Xi immediately followed him out.
Where is it?
"At the back door, the president had people throw all the birthday gifts out, but the master insisted on coming in. If things get out of hand on a day like today, people will definitely laugh at us."
Han Xi exclaimed that she had a headache. She had thought about this problem yesterday. As the old lady's only son, Shen Qingzhou would definitely show up at such a grand birthday banquet.
She had discussed this issue with Shen Jiheng last night, telling him to remain calm today and absolutely not to cause trouble, so why did this situation still occur?
"Have a few servants guard the way to the back door and prevent guests from getting close."
If this gets out, it will only make the old lady, who is celebrating her birthday, a laughing stock.
Han Xi believed that Shen Jiheng knew how to behave and that this situation should not have occurred.
"Understood, I'll have someone guard it."
Han Xi nodded, but it wasn't until she reached the back door that she understood why Shen Jiheng was angry.
Beside Shen Qingzhou was a beautiful woman, Yan Si, his mistress. Bringing her in at such a special time was a real disgrace to the Shen family.
Since Shen Qingzhou had no face to speak of in the entire family, she naturally didn't care what others said, but others still had their pride.
“You unfilial son, I already said I just want to go in and see your grandmother and say a few words of congratulations. You have no right to stop me.”
Shen Jiheng was furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to ruin this good day. If you know what's good for you, get out of here or I'll beat you all up."
Yan Si stood up angrily and said, "What right do you, a junior, have to speak to your father like that? What's wrong with him coming to his own mother's birthday banquet?"
"Completely wrong!"
Han Xi replied sternly from behind, causing the others to turn around.
As Han Xi walked, he said, "First of all, you are not worthy of being a son. You have been away from home for ten years without any news, breaking your grandmother's heart. Now you have come back only to fight for power and profit. You have no motherly affection at all."
When Shen Qingzhou saw that it was this troublesome person again, she said angrily, "You are an outsider, what right do you have to interfere in our family affairs?"
Han Xiyi said righteously, "You are even less fit to be a father, trying to seize your children's assets through fraudulent and shameless means."
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Si, his gaze becoming even sharper, making the other woman feel uneasy.
"The most hateful thing is, how can you face your wife? You're bringing a mistress into your home now, do you want your aunt to become a laughing stock?"
Han Xi knew he was shameless, but at least he shouldn't do something so outrageous.
Yan Si stubbornly retorted, "Zhou Ge and I are truly in love. How could an outsider like you understand our love..."
"Get this straight. You're not only a cheater, but you've also broken the law. Your aunt can sue you in court and make you pay back everything you've gotten from him over the years!"
Han Xi interrupted her, and not only was Shen Jiheng angry, but she was also furious.
Yan Si retreated behind him, feeling wronged. Shen Qingzhou scolded, "Han Xi, you have no right to meddle in these matters."
“She has no right to have me. The child in her belly is the best evidence. I will hire a lawyer to sue you right now.”
As Shen Jiheng spoke, he took out his phone. Shen Qingzhou quickly waved his hand and said, "No, we have to leave. It's just that if I'm no longer here, it will be a regret for your grandmother."
Shen Jiheng said coldly, "You're overthinking it. She forgot she had a son a long time ago and assumed you were dead ten years ago."
Shen Qingzhou's lips twitched. He had hoped to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to the old lady, but now he had no chance.
Faced with Shen Jiheng's sharp gaze, Shen Qingzhou and her men slunk away.
Shen Jiheng took a deep breath. His wonderful day had been ruined, which was really annoying.
Han Xi patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be angry. It's not worth ruining your mood on such a good day for them."
Shen Jiheng turned around and suddenly hugged her. Sensing his change in emotion, Han Xi did not push him away.
"Han Xi, thank you."
Thank you for being there for me through all of this.
Han Xi laughed and said, "I'm just helping out when I see injustice. Even if I were in this situation, you would stand up for me in the same way."
Shen Jiheng smiled and let go of her. It felt so good to have her by his side.
Just then, Qin Chuan rushed over in a panic, saying anxiously, "President, Miss Han, something has happened again."
Shen Jiheng's expression changed, and he frowned, saying, "Could it be that he ran in through the main gate again?"
Qin Chuan shook his head: "No, several guests in the hall fainted, some vomited, and others complained of stomach aches. It's a complete mess."
Hearing this, the two of them were startled. Shen Jiheng said as he walked, "Call an ambulance immediately, and then tell everyone not to eat anything anymore."
Based on this situation, it is highly likely that it was caused by food poisoning.
This year, the old lady wanted to hold her birthday banquet at the old house, so she hired the best chef team to serve various pastries and drinks from the morning.
The current situation must be due to a problem with the relief mechanism.
Han Xi followed anxiously and heard cries of agony in the courtyard, indicating that the situation was very serious.
"Ji Heng, go check the situation in the hall, I'll go check the living room."
Shen Jiheng frowned and nodded; this situation was completely unexpected by everyone.
Han Xi ran to the living room and saw the old lady sitting on the sofa clutching her stomach, with Madam Shen anxiously taking care of her.
"Auntie, how is Grandma?"
"I just vomited for a while and now I have a fever. I've already called an ambulance. I've heard that other people have had similar experiences, but I don't know what's wrong."
Han Xi frowned, looked around, and asked, "How are the children?"
“They’re fine. It’s too chaotic here, so I’ll have Bai Xue take them back to their room to play. You go check on them, and I’ll take Mom to the hospital later.”
Madam Shen was also in a terrible state of panic; no one expected such a thing to happen at the birthday banquet.
Han Xi ran upstairs and opened the door to find Bai Xue playing games with the two children. Seeing that they were alright, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Bai Xue said, "Ms. Han, you saw what happened downstairs too. We were all shocked and didn't know what happened. Everyone had food poisoning. Luckily, I didn't have an appetite today and didn't eat anything."
Han Xi was also confused about the situation. The food on site was freshly prepared and handled by a professional culinary team, so there shouldn't have been such a serious accident.
It would be understandable if a few people had allergic reactions, but why is everyone uncomfortable?
The ambulance is on its way, and it seems we'll only know the results after everyone is taken back for testing.
"Please take care of them, I'll manage."
Bai Xue nodded, then said worriedly, "Then I'll go down and help."
