Chapter 266 You Understand Me Best
Han Xi regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. Why did she have to explain these things to Shen Jiheng? Even if he misunderstood, it had nothing to do with her.
Shen Jiheng was unusually happy after hearing this. He could tell that Han Xi was emphasizing this issue because he valued him.
"Understood, I'll take you there right away."
However, Han Xi quickly added, "Since we've already gone to the hospital, we should naturally go and say hello to Si Ye. I haven't been there these past two days, so I can only call to check on him. To be honest, I haven't been very attentive to this benefactor."
Shen Jiheng retorted, "You call and text me every day to check on me, how can you say I don't care? You've never taken the initiative to talk to me like this."
Han Xi rubbed his forehead, saying with a headache, "Shen Jiheng, how old are you? He's my savior, and he's seriously injured and lying in the hospital. What I'm doing is just the least I can do to show him respect."
Shen Jiheng turned his head away unhappily. He had already instructed the hospital to use the best medicine to treat Bo Siye, just so that he could recover quickly and Han Xi wouldn't have to worry about him.
She just mentioned going to Hengtian Hospital, so I don't want her to go see Bo Siye.
Han Xi can't let him continue like this, otherwise he'll be led by the nose in the future.
"Just take me to the hospital later, don't follow me."
"Why can't we come along? Do you want to discuss some private matters?"
Han Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, reminding herself not to get angry and not to stoop to his level.
"I'm very busy today, I don't have time to mess around with you."
Shen Jiheng opened his mouth as if to speak but then stopped. Was he really that free?
He was incredibly busy every day, squeezing out every minute to be with Han Xi, but she didn't appreciate it and had no idea how much he cared about her.
"I know what you're most anxious about right now. Things are under control. You just need to wait for good news."
"You've already started investigating the R&D department?"
Shen Jiheng nodded: "No one can cause trouble under my nose. I will find them."
Although Shen Jiheng didn't mention it at all, he had already made the arrangements.
With him involved, Han Xi felt even more confident.
"Remember to let me know as soon as you have any news. I also want to know who is behind this."
Shen Jiheng grasped her hand, but Han Xi still pushed it away uncomfortably.
How could he know that her heart nearly jumped out of her chest when he held her hand?
To stay calm, the first thing to do is to keep your distance from him.
Shen Jiheng withdrew his hand in disappointment. How long would it take for Han Xi to take the initiative to come closer?
After taking the person to the hospital, Shen Jiheng left to avoid arguing with Bo Siye later, which was not worth it.
Watching the car drive away, Han Xi shook his head helplessly. Shen Jiheng's jealousy was exactly the same as it was four years ago. He couldn't stay calm whenever Bo Siye was involved.
When Han Xi arrived at Zhuo Qingqian's ward, she saw that Zhuo Qingqian's face was pale and she had dark circles under her eyes, and she looked very tired.
As soon as Zhuo Qingqian saw her, tears streamed down her face.
"Xi Xi, you're finally here! I'm going crazy!"
Han Xi walked to the bedside, and Zhuo Qingqian pulled her over and hugged her waist tightly.
"What's wrong with you? Where's my brother?"
"I yelled at him and he left."
Han Xi held her shoulder, noticing tears still in the corners of her eyes, and asked worriedly, "What happened? Weren't you fine yesterday? Why did you quarrel again?"
Zhuo Qingqian let go of her hand and lifted her sleeve to show her that the needle marks on her arm had turned blue.
She said, both angry and helpless, "I've had a terrible reaction these past two days. I even vomit when I drink water, and I can't eat anything. I've been on IV fluids for two days, but my veins are too thin, so I had to prick them several times."
Han Xi frowned, then tenderly stroked her face, saying, "You've worked hard."
Han Xi had long heard that some women experience severe pregnancy symptoms and spend their entire pregnancy and childbirth in the hospital. Given Zhuo Qingqian's carefree and independent nature, this would undoubtedly mean imprisonment.
Zhuo Qingqian cried, "Originally, I also planned to keep the baby, but the doctor said that my physical condition was poor and I was prone to miscarriage, so I had to be hospitalized for the first three months and have injections every day."
Not to mention the person involved, even Han Xi was afraid to hear about it.
When she was pregnant, she needed to take anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving injections due to an injury. However, these injections contained hormones that could affect the baby's development, so she had to grit her teeth and endure it.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't sleep all night and could only hold her pillow and get through one night after another.
Han Xi felt terrible that her best friend was now facing similar pain.
Zhuo Qingqian broke down and cried, "It's all Gu Beichen's fault. He's too selfish. He wanted the child to be his father, but he didn't communicate with me beforehand. Given my current physical condition, I can only rely on medication to maintain the pregnancy, which is too painful for me."
Han Xi felt sorry for her and held her close, gently patting her shoulder: "Don't cry, calm down first."
“I told him to abort the child first, and then have another one after I recover, but he refused, so I scolded him and drove him away.”
Zhuo Qingqian wiped away her tears, her face showing confusion and bewilderment.
Making someone who doesn't like children suffer like this is tantamount to sending her to hell.
Han Xi sighed, cupped her face, and said, "It is indeed a long process. You've just started and still have choices. Once you've made your decision, I'll help you communicate with them."
Although as a mother herself, she wanted to persuade Han Xi to keep the child, but Han Xi did not do so.
Everyone's joys and sorrows are different, and so are their choices.
These were not things she had asked for in the first place, and now that they were being forced upon her and she was suffering these torments, Han Xi did not think it was a good thing.
She only hoped that her best friend would be happy throughout her life and not be bound by anything.
Zhuo Qingqian squeezed her hand and said, "Xi Xi, you understand me best. I want to ask you for a favor."
Han Xi looked at her in confusion, but could tell from her determined eyes that it was definitely not a good thing.
"You don't mean you want me to help you get rid of the baby in your belly...?"
“Yes! I don’t want to discuss it with them. No matter how much I say, the result will be the same. Neither his family nor he himself will agree. They will only tell me to wait it out.”
Han Xi frowned, weighing the feelings of both sides. She thought of her grandmother looking forward to her great-grandson. If they found out, wouldn't she become a sinner for all time?
However, Zhuo Qingqian's weak and painful appearance put her in a difficult decision-making situation.
“Qianqian, I understand how you feel, but my brother is still the child’s father. I think this matter should be decided by the two of you. I can help you talk to him.”
"No, it's no use. I can't stand it for the next two days. The longer it drags on, the longer it will stay in my belly. You know doctors, ask them to help me arrange surgery."
Han Xi was at a loss for words and murmured, "You were in such a hurry to call me here just for this?"
Zhuo Qingqian nodded and said seriously, "I thought about it all night last night and tried to communicate with Beichen properly, but he wouldn't listen. The child is in my belly, and I have the right to decide whether to keep it or not."
"But if you're doing this behind their backs, what are your plans for the future with him?"
This situation is no small matter, and Han Xi needs her to think it through completely before making a decision.
