Chapter 268 It's all for her own good
Shen Jiheng stared at the phone that had been hung up, a faint smile appearing on his face instead.
He guessed that Han Xi would definitely be angry, but he helped her resolve this problem, so it didn't matter if she blamed him.
He couldn't bear to put Han Xi in such a difficult position, and he didn't want her to be blamed by the Gu family in the future.
He couldn't understand why Zhuo Qingqian insisted on dragging Han Xi into this mess. If this was kept from the Gu family, how could Han Xi face them in the future?
Now that the matter has been exposed, let the parties involved decide for themselves.
After Han Xi got into the car, she called Zhuo Qingqian but no one answered. She also didn't reply to her messages, probably because she thought Zhuo Qingqian had leaked the secret and was angry.
Han Xi had mixed feelings. When she arrived at the hospital, she saw that Gu Beichen was also anxiously searching for someone.
"Brother, where's Qianqian?"
Gu Beichen frowned and said, "I rushed over after I got the news. The nurse said she was here ten minutes ago, but no one is in the ward and no one answers her phone. I don't know if she's deliberately hiding."
Han Xi rubbed her head. She was afraid that Zhuo Qingqian would have a fiery temper, which was why she didn't dare to tell anyone else. She didn't expect that an accident would still happen.
"I should be at the hospital with her."
Gu Beichen held her shoulders and said, "Han Xi, how could you keep such a big thing from me? Even if she really decides not to have the child, I can respect her decision. What I can't lose is her."
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Qianqian has been in a lot of pain and her mood has been bad these past two days. I don't think she can feel what you're saying, which is why she came to me for help alone."
When Han Xi met Zhuo Qingqian today, he sensed her breakdown, which is why he agreed to help her.
Gu Beichen shook his head: "I don't understand. I've done everything I can. Whether she throws a tantrum or is deliberately being unreasonable, I've tolerated it all. Why is she still like this?"
"Because you only see her suffering and pain, you can't empathize with her at all. The most important problem is that you were wrong from the beginning."
Gu Beichen looked at her helplessly and murmured, "Is this really such a big problem? All I want is a child, what's wrong with that?"
"That's right. You want to be a father, which shows that you are very loving, and that's a good thing."
"Then why...?"
Gu Beichen looked puzzled. He had been acting like a grandson these past few days, trying to please Zhuo Qingqian by washing her feet, giving her massages, and telling her stories in the middle of the night.
He did everything he had never done before in his life, but Han Xi said he was wrong.
Han Xi replied seriously, "But you forgot Qianqian's true nature. She doesn't like it and is even resisting it. She has been drinking for many years and her health is not good. In addition, her diet and sleep are irregular, which has caused many problems."
Gu Beichen frowned and said with a puzzled look, "Since none of these are good, wouldn't it be better to take this opportunity to correct them?"
Han Xi slapped his hand and said, "Haven't you realized the problem yet? Her body hasn't recovered, which is why she's like this now. Do you want her to suffer every day?"
Gu Beichen suddenly realized what he had been doing.
In order to keep her by his side, he secretly did those things for his own enjoyment.
He was still basking in his success, completely oblivious to Zhuo Qingqian's pain.
"Han Xi, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so selfish. Please help me find Qianqian and tell her that I will listen to her in everything."
“Brother, I hope you can understand that Qianqian also really wants to keep this child. She has tried her best, but her current physical condition does not allow it. You have to understand her difficulties.”
Gu Beichen nodded vigorously. He knew now, but it seemed a little late.
"Help me find her."
"Okay, let's split up. She's too weak to go far right now."
Han Xi was afraid that she would overreact and cause trouble. These unexpected changes were really worrying her.
Han Xi went to the dean's office and asked him to arrange for the monitoring room to retrieve the video footage to check Zhuo Qingqian's whereabouts.
After searching, it was found that Zhuo Qingqian left by herself and took a car away.
Han Xi took a picture of the license plate number and sent it to Gu Beichen, asking him to go find the car first.
Han Xi continued to call Zhuo Qingqian, but she still wouldn't answer. So she had no choice but to drive to the apartment to look for her.
When Han Xi arrived at the apartment lobby and asked customer service, she learned that Zhuo Qingqian had not returned at all.
That's strange. Where did she go after running out of the hospital and not going home?
Han Xi got back to her car and her phone rang. When she saw Shen Jiheng's name, she hung up immediately, not wanting to answer. She didn't want to talk to him right now.
Although he did this to help himself, wasn't he also causing trouble?
Shen Jiheng dialed again, but Han Xi still refused to answer, which annoyed him.
"President, how about I have someone send Miss Zhuo back?" Qin Chuan noticed that he was in a bad mood, and even his voice was very soft.
Shen Jiheng sighed inwardly: "No need, just let her stay. You contact Han Xi and send her the location."
Qin Chuan nodded and sent Zhuo Qingqian's location to Han Xi. Although he didn't know what had happened between the president and her before, the fact that she didn't answer the phone twice suggested that there was a significant conflict between them.
After Shen Jiheng asked the dean to contact Gu Beichen, he became worried about Zhuo Qingqian's situation and arranged for someone to follow her. At that moment, she was at the beach.
He learned that Han Xi was looking for Zhuo Qingqian, so he called her to tell her the news, but she wouldn't answer his calls, so he had to ask Qin Chuan to contact her instead.
Shen Jiheng had anticipated this outcome. Even if Han Xi was angry, he did not regret what he had done.
Rather than putting Han Xi in a dilemma, it's better to make a fuss like this; things will eventually return to normal.
Han Xi was somewhat confused after hearing Qin Chuan's words; she was almost completely baffled as to why Shen Jiheng was doing this.
He knew he would get angry, so why did he make things more complicated?
After informing Gu Beichen, Han Xi drove over herself.
Following the location provided by Qin Chuan, Han Xi found Zhuo Qingqian on the beach. She was sitting alone on the sand, with two people standing a hundred meters away. They were the bodyguards that Shen Jiheng had arranged to protect her.
At this moment, Han Xi realized that Shen Jiheng had been prepared all along. Everything he did was to prevent Han Xi from being put in a difficult position in the Gu family in the future.
Han Xi took a deep breath, walked over and sat down next to Zhuo Qingqian. She didn't say anything, but just looked at the sea.
"You're here. President Shen is so kind to you. In the end, he was worried that you would be put in a difficult position and that he would reveal the truth."
Zhuo Qingqian showed no surprise. She was surprised that a car was waiting for her as soon as she left the hospital. After getting out of the car, no matter where she went, two people followed her.
At first, she thought she had encountered a bad person, but the other person kept their distance, seemingly to protect her.
The fact that Zhuo Qingqian sat on the beach for twenty minutes without anyone moving further suggests that someone had arranged it.
Everything became clear once Han Xi appeared.
"I'm sorry, Qianqian, it's all my fault. I didn't handle things well."
"It's not your fault. I know the dean told President Shen, and he will definitely let Bei Chen and the others know. Only in this way will you not be so embarrassed when facing the Gu family in the future. In the end, it was my selfishness."
Zhuo Qingqian's eyes were filled with tears. She knew perfectly well that Gu Beichen's actions were wrong, so why was she making things difficult for Han Xi?
