Chapter 22 His people can only be bullied by himself
Shen Jiheng stared at him without changing his expression, his dark eyes as cold as the dead of winter, as if the air itself were filled with ice.
Han Yue panicked and turned her head away, not daring to meet his gaze.
He was reflecting on why Shen Jiheng seemed so angry, since he hadn't said anything wrong.
It's obvious that word has spread that he has a mistress who is pregnant, so why won't he get a divorce?
Silence is often a very effective deterrent; the previously lively meeting room is now completely silent.
Everyone present was holding their breath, their nerves on edge.
Finally, Shen Jiheng spoke.
"Rumors stop with the wise. Only fools believe the gossip. Han Xi will always be my Mrs. Shen."
Upon hearing this, Han Xi was taken aback, her eyelids narrowed, and her feelings were complicated.
Is this a sign of his self-love?
No, he's domineering, and his people can only be bullied by himself.
"But I heard that President Shen is about to become a father. If we don't marry him, it will attract a lot of gossip."
This empathy drew ridicule from Han Xi, who immediately retorted, "You really are a good father to me, so considerate of other people's mistresses, you can't wait for your daughter to be kicked out of the house."
Han Xi truly regretted appointing him as the president of Han Shu Group. If he had continued in this position, he would have squandered his mother's hard work sooner or later.
Han Yue was humiliated, but he shifted the blame onto her.
"It's all because you're useless. You've been married into the Shen family for three years and still can't have a child. No wonder President Shen is looking for other women outside."
After all, these were words spoken by a close relative, and no matter how calm Han Xi appeared, he couldn't hide the pain in his heart.
I never competed with him for anything because he was my only family.
But now, even that last bit of family affection has been completely exhausted by him.
Very good, there's no need to worry about that anymore.
"The Shen family's affairs are none of the business of outsiders to comment on." Shen Jiheng's cold voice rang out again, silencing Han Yue.
A terrifying silence returned to the scene. Shen Jiheng had this ability; he could control everything with just a few words.
He walked to the table, his gaze falling on the two transfer documents, a turbulent undercurrent surging beneath his deep eyes.
“I just heard Director Zhang say that your two families are planning to immigrate. I happen to be thinking of investing, so please give me these two transfer documents.”
Han Xi: "......"
What's the meaning of this person's actions? She wanted to distance herself from him, but he still interfered in her company. It must have been intentional.
Could it be that he's worried about making things difficult for Gu Hanxi in the future, and wants to use this trick to control her?
How despicable!
Han Yue was also stunned and said in a panic, "President Shen, don't joke around. The Shen family is a large and powerful family. How could a small company like ours be of any interest to you?"
He's trying every means to monopolize the group. Han Xi is already difficult to deal with, let alone Shen Jiheng.
Shen Jiheng seemed determined, his face serious as he said, "Who said I was joking? It's perfectly reasonable for me to invest in my wife's company and help her run it. Do you have any objections?"
Shen Jiheng's words were not to be questioned; no one dared to reason with him.
The two directors looked embarrassed, and being caught between the three made them even more tormented.
Han Xi couldn't let him succeed, so she forced a smile and said, "Husband, you're already busy enough with business affairs, so why don't you have Uncle Wang and the others transfer the shares to me?"
Once she gets these shares, she will be the largest shareholder and can kick out Han Yue, this black sheep.
"What if I insist?" Shen Jiheng asked without turning around.
Han Xi lied and said, "Han Shu Group values bloodline inheritance. I am just following the rules left by my mother. Besides, we are not distinguished by who is who, so you certainly won't care."
How could I not care!
Shen Jiheng turned and walked towards her, gently placing his hand on her head.
How could he not see through Han Xi's thoughts? She truly wanted a divorce.
Since Bo Siye returned, her personality has changed. She wants to abandon him and live happily ever after with her first love, but that's not going to happen.
He knew that Han Xi cared most about the group her mother left behind, and as long as he had it in his hands, he could keep this woman trapped.
Even if it means going to hell, I'll take her with me.
He leaned close to Han Xi's ear and whispered, "I'm determined to have it. If you try to stop me, I'll leave right now, and you'll have to bear the consequences."
After saying that, he stood up straight with a smile on his face. This two-faced bad man knew that he was now in a situation where he could only rely on him, yet he still said such threatening things.
Han Xi knew he wasn't bluffing; if things didn't go his way, no one would be happy.
Seeing this, Han Yue quickly chimed in, "Han Xi is right. This is an internal family matter. President Shen, you shouldn't get involved."
Just moments ago, the father and daughter were at odds, but now they're showing a united front against a common enemy, which drew a mocking laugh from Shen Jiheng.
Han Xi had no intention of associating with such a despicable and shameless person, and immediately expressed his opinion.
“Ji Heng is right. Legally speaking, he is my guardian. Uncle Wang, you should transfer the guardianship to him.”
As long as we find a way to get it back in the future, it's better than it falling into Han Yue's hands.
"Since Mr. Han says so, then we'll do as you say."
The key is that with Shen Jiheng backing them up, they dared not disobey.
Han Yue gritted his teeth, but he couldn't say a word when he met Shen Jiheng's sharp gaze.
He watched helplessly as his plan fell apart, and the moment Shen Jiheng signed the document, it felt like falling into an abyss.
Han Yue said with a deathly pale face, "President Shen, you've obtained the transfer agreement. There's a meeting at the company later, shouldn't you all leave?"
If Han Yue didn't vent his anger, he would definitely go crazy. But this big shot was standing there, forcing him to put on a smiling face despite his anger, which was practically killing him.
Shen Jiheng handed the contract to Qin Chuan and calmly said, "This isn't over yet."
Not over yet?
While everyone was puzzled, he turned his head and locked his gaze on the corner. Han Xiao, who had just committed the crime, was unaware that he was about to be in big trouble.
Faced with the sudden gaze, Han Xiao looked bewildered, wondering why she was being turned to.
Shen Jiheng said coldly, "Call the police. Someone here is plotting murder."
The serious word shocked the father and daughter so much that their eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and Han Yue immediately spoke up in their defense.
"Mr. Shen, Xiaoxiao didn't do it on purpose just now, it was just an accident."
Heaven knows how nervous Shen Jiheng was when he arrived. He's still terrified. If Han Xi had really gotten into trouble, he would have torn these people apart.
Han Xiao also tried to defend herself: "I really didn't mean it. Sister, please say something and tell your husband not to call the police to arrest me."
Han Xi, who is usually quiet and unassuming at home, did not try to appease the situation as usual, but instead responded forcefully.
"Shut up, don't call me 'sister,' I have nothing to do with you, and besides, about you pushing me..."
Han Xi paused intentionally, making the hearts of the father and daughter leap out of their chests, but then she spoke.
"Of course you did it on purpose, and with considerable force. You saw me sitting in a wheelchair, unable to resist, and you wanted to take advantage of the situation to get rid of me and seize the company. That's murder."
That's it, Han Xiao's arrogance has vanished.
She only regretted not acting sooner, giving this woman a chance to retaliate.
Han Yue kept giving her meaningful glances, and she gritted her teeth and slowly knelt down.
