Chapter 298 Legal Guardian
Han Xi didn't know if what she was doing was right or wrong, but she knew that if she gave up on Han Chuang like this, she would definitely regret it in the future.
Professor Yang smiled and said, "This child is really smart. He has read a lot of books at such a young age. He will definitely be successful in the future."
Han Xi listened and felt grateful to him, hoping that he would become a kind, upright, and well-mannered person in the future.
"Thank you for your kind words. I will do my best to cultivate him in this direction."
"You all look after him, I'll go and get busy."
Han Xi saw him to the door, and only asked in the corridor, "Professor Yang, I couldn't say much in front of the child just now. How long will it take for him to recover from this condition?"
Professor Yang replied truthfully, "It's not very serious. You can stay for a week and have a follow-up examination. If there are no abnormalities, you can be discharged."
Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that his condition might be as serious as hers had been.
Professor Yang added, "This child has good willpower. He endured so much pain and only asked me when I was coming back. He didn't mention it to anyone else. You can tell he's very afraid of people."
Han Xi nodded sadly, "After he feels better, I'll take him to see a psychologist for counseling."
Professor Yang looked up as if thinking about something, then smiled and said, "But I noticed his eyes lit up when he looked at you, so perhaps you are the best medicine."
Han Xi smiled knowingly, nodded in understanding, and said that Han Chuang was afraid of being abused again and that she would send him away.
Once these problems are resolved, the shadows in his heart will disappear.
"Thank you for reminding me, I know what to do now."
Professor Yang smiled and left; some things can only be understood by the wise.
When Han Xi returned to the ward, he saw Shen Jiheng holding a book for him to read. The two leaned against the headboard, creating a warm and cozy scene.
"Han Chuang, your sister has some news to tell you."
Han Chuang stared at her with wide eyes, his gaze revealing a hint of panic and tension, as well as a touch of anticipation.
Han Xi walked up to him and smiled, "Don't be so nervous. I just wanted to tell you that after you are discharged from the hospital, you can go to Uncle Chen's house to stay. His grandmother and mother live there, and they will take good care of you."
Han Chuang showed no joy, thinking about having to meet strangers again and wondering what awaited him.
He had been thrown into an orphanage and bullied by other children every day. When his uncle Ji Xiang took him back, he thought he was finally going to have a good life.
Little did he know that every day that awaited him was filled with all sorts of torment, causing the young man to develop phobias.
Later, Ji Xiang sent him back to the Han family and saw his father whom he had been longing for day and night. However, Han Yue not only refused to acknowledge him, but also insulted and even attacked him, which made him completely desperate.
Now that he's by Han Xi's side, he finally feels like a human being, so naturally he doesn't want to be separated from her.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Han Xi thought he would be very happy, but he looked worried and his eyes showed undisguised disappointment.
He whispered, "Then I won't be able to see my sister anymore."
Shen Jiheng understood and added, "Of course not. Your sister and nephews will move here in the future. They're just staying at the Gu family's place for now."
Upon hearing this, Han Chuang's eyes lit up again, and Han Xi realized that he had been worried just now.
She said gently, "I used to live there for a long time. Grandma is a very kind person. When they heard you were going, they were preparing a children's room for you. I will also often bring Yuxuan and the others to visit you."
Shen Jiheng then said something that completely reassured him.
"Listen up, kid. The most important thing is that your sister is now your legal guardian."
In the past two months, Han Chuang has heard this word the most. Although he doesn't quite understand its meaning, he knows that whoever has this identity can follow her for life.
He took Han Xi's hand and asked, "Sister, does that mean I don't have to go back to Dad's side or go to the orphanage?"
Han Xi cupped his face and nodded: "Yes, from now on you will live with me, but for some reasons you can't live at the Gu family home, are you willing?"
Han Chuang was so excited that he danced around. If it weren't for his physical condition, he could have jumped up on the spot.
Seeing his innocent and radiant appearance, Han Xi was glad that she had made this decision and had not abandoned him.
"That's great, thank you, sister. I will definitely listen to you obediently."
Han Xi smiled gently, and her previously agitated mood finally calmed down.
Han Xi waited until he fell asleep before leaving, leaving the nanny to take care of him.
Having been reassured, Han Chuang was no longer afraid and even slept with a smile on his face.
On the way back, Han Xi felt relieved, but she still had some concerns about facing the Gu family.
Seeing the conflict in her eyes, Shen Jiheng took her hand and said, "Are you still worried about facing your grandmother and the others?"
Han Xi smiled calmly and said, "I know Grandma won't blame me, but he is Ji Qing's child after all."
“Then you should forget about this from now on. Grandma had someone prepare ginseng soup for the child yesterday, which means she can accept it.”
"Grandma is kind-hearted. She must have thought of how Mom was lost and alone when she was a child. Isn't Han Chuang in the same situation now?"
Shen Jiheng suggested, "Why don't you move back to the old house too? Then Han Chuang will have company."
Seeing his well-thought-out plan, Han Xi pressed, "And what about you?"
"Of course I'll go back with you. It's more convenient to do whatever I want on my own turf."
Shen Jiheng didn't say that taking care of the family was bad, but with two elderly people around, he had many concerns and didn't always let go of his inhibitions.
He wasn't afraid, but the two old people had hated him to the core back then, and Shen Jiheng had spent a lot of effort and time trying to leave a good impression on them.
Now that things have finally improved, he definitely wants to maintain a good image and be a refined and gentle gentleman.
Only when he returns to his own territory can he truly let go.
Han Xi shook his head: "That won't do, that would be letting you off easy. I love seeing you looking so frustrated."
Shen Jiheng was both amused and exasperated; Han Xi really knew how to deal with him.
He smiled indulgently and said, "Alright, it's up to you. Even if you want to live in the Gu family for the rest of your life, I'll stay with you."
Han Xi was moved and smiled knowingly at his earnest gaze.
Shen Jiheng leaned closer and asked, "What, don't you believe what I said?"
Han Xi shook her head: "No, I believe it, but who would have thought that the cold and ruthless Shen Jiheng of the past would now be so love-struck?"
Shen Jiheng elegantly straightened his suit, coughed lightly, and said, "That's because you don't know the joy of being love-struck. No one can stop me."
Han Xi waved her hand; there was nothing she could do to stop her.
The two returned home chatting and laughing, and as Han Xi had expected, the two were sitting in the living room waiting for her.
Han Yuxuan and his sister were playing games in the living room when Shen Jiheng stepped forward and tactfully said, "I'll go play with the kids in the yard for a while." His implication was that he wouldn't disturb their family conversation.
Han Xi gave him a grateful look; he really did understand what he was thinking.
Grandma Gu also showed a satisfied look in her eyes. Now they have accepted Shen Jiheng as their grandson-in-law.
"How is Han Chuang?" Old Mrs. Gu asked.
Han Xi walked up and sat in front of her, hugged her arm and leaned on Grandma Gu's shoulder, sensing that her emotions were not as stable as they appeared.
