Chapter 299 Wasn't this also his regret?
Han Xi knew that her mother's death had always been a thorn in the side of the Gu family, and coupled with the harm Ji Qing had done to her, this woman was unforgivable.
But she made this sacrifice in order to get everyone to accept Han Chuang, and as a mother, this spirit is admirable.
"Professor Yang said he needs to be hospitalized for another week for observation before we can see what the next steps are."
Grandma Gu sighed, "It's pitiful to say that this child is suffering. The sins committed by the previous generation have all come back to haunt him."
Grandpa Gu spoke up, saying, "Your grandmother and I have discussed it. Since Ji Qing has paid with his life, we don't want to pursue the past anymore. You can bring him back."
Han Xi looked at the two of them, and Grandma Gu patted her hand.
“We specifically waited for you to come back so we could tell you this news, and we can accept it.”
The two elderly people's kind gesture warmed Han Xi's heart, but she couldn't be so selfish as to let her enemy's child linger in front of them all day long.
Han Xi knew that they made this decision because they were afraid of putting her in a difficult position, and thus chose to accept it voluntarily.
“Grandpa, Grandma, I’m really happy to hear these words. But Ji Heng and I have discussed it and decided to let the child stay at the Shen family’s old house. Grandma and Aunt can take care of him.”
"Won't this cause them a lot of trouble?" Old Mrs. Gu's eyes were full of worry.
Han Xi shook her head: "No, Grandma. Han Chuang is almost eight years old and very independent. They don't need to worry about him much. Grandma gets bored every day. Having a child to keep them company helps them pass the time."
Grandpa Gu nodded upon hearing this, "That's a good idea."
Han Xi smiled and said, "Yes, Grandma and the others like children. Sending Han Chuang over will make things more lively for them. I'll take the child back for a couple of days whenever I have time. This arrangement is good for everyone."
Judging from how methodically she explained these things, it was clear that she had already made a plan.
Grandma Gu nodded: "In that case, we won't force you. If you need anything else, just let us know. We're family, and we'll help you solve your problems."
Seeing how cheerful they were, Han Xi felt gratified and put her arms around Old Mrs. Gu's neck.
"Grandma, you are the best. If I need anything, I will definitely ask you for help right away."
Grandpa Gu smiled kindly and said, "We are both getting old and can't stay with you for much longer, so please don't hesitate to ask if there's anything I can do to help you."
Han Xi got up and went around behind him, putting her arm around his shoulder from behind.
"Grandpa, you've already helped me so much. Besides, you're sure to live to be a hundred. I want you to stay by my side forever and watch my children grow up."
The elderly couple smiled at each other, knowing that these things could never come true, but the thought still made them happy.
Grandma Gu added, "Ji Heng is with you every day. We all see how good he is to you."
Han Xi blushed as the topic turned to her.
"Grandma, why did you suddenly bring this up?"
"We missed your wedding in the past, but if we remarry this time, we want to throw a big banquet for you. You two didn't have a wedding ceremony back then either."
Han Xi gave a bitter smile. Back then, when she married Shen Jiheng, there wasn't even a simple ceremony. After registering their marriage, he basically never even looked at her properly.
In the years after their marriage, their interactions were limited to the bedroom; she never even considered a wedding.
The possibility of her remarrying Shen Jiheng is still far from being realized, let alone a wedding.
"Grandma, these things are still a long way off, and besides, it's not up to me to make the decisions."
After he finished speaking, a deep, resolute voice came from the doorway.
"If you just say yes, I can marry you again right now, give you the grandest wedding, take you on your honeymoon in the most romantic city, and make up for everything we missed in the past."
These are also regrets for Shen Jiheng. Even if the Gu family elders didn't mention it, he had this plan.
Han Xi turned around and saw his sincere gaze; he was waiting for these things to happen again.
Grandma Gu smiled happily and said, "Han Xi, did you hear that? Ji Heng is ready at any time, just waiting for you to speak."
Han Xi didn't know how to respond for a moment, but Shen Jiheng stepped forward and said firmly, "I know you have other thoughts in your mind right now, but that's okay. As long as I can be by your side, I can wait for all of that."
Han Xi only uttered two words.
"Thanks!"
Thank you for his current understanding. Han Xi still needs to sort out her feelings before she can truly return to his side.
It was obvious to everyone that the two had long since decided on each other.
next day
Han Xi had a meeting this morning and left early, while Shen Jiheng stayed behind to take care of the children. Later, he would take them to the hospital to be with Han Chuang.
Everything was arranged, and Han Xi was in a good mood.
As soon as she stepped into the lobby, her keen sense of smell detected a pungent smell of smoke and a strong odor of alcohol, making Han Xi feel somewhat uncomfortable.
She has always been very sensitive to these smells, and Han Shu Group has a no-smoking policy, so it's not allowed to carry such a strong smell on her person. Therefore, she immediately ruled out anyone from the company.
Han Xi sensed something was wrong. As the smell got closer, she gripped her bag tightly, suddenly turned and ran towards the front desk, shouting.
"Arrest them!"
Sure enough, someone was chasing after her, but she was caught by the lobby security personnel in less than a minute, and the staff quickly ran to Han Xi's side to protect her.
She ran into trouble the day she didn't have Leng Yu pick her up, and if Shen Jiheng found out, she wouldn't know how he would scold her.
"Let me go, I want to see your CEO."
Han Xi took a deep breath and walked forward under the protection of the staff. He saw that the person being held down on the ground was a middle-aged man with blond hair and a thick beard, making him look very dirty.
Han Xi had no memory of seeing this person before, and she didn't know where he came from to cause her trouble.
"Who are you? What do you want with me?"
The man looked up and stared intently at her, saying arrogantly, "I am Han Chuang's biological father. You took my son away, so you should give me an explanation."
It turns out he is Ji Qing's ex-husband. He must have heard rumors about Han Chuang's background and wanted to claim him back!
Impossible. This gambler came to her reeking of smoke and alcohol, and seemed ready to attack. Han Xi naturally didn't believe he was there to demand an explanation.
As the crowd grew, Han Xi waved to the security personnel to release him.
"So it's Mr. Liu. Since you want to talk about this, you could have contacted me beforehand. I thought you were some kind of thugs showing up here so suddenly."
Han Xi then turned to the security captain and whispered, "Keep a close eye on them from now on. If you find anyone like this, don't let them in."
For groups like theirs, no one other than headquarters staff is allowed to enter. Han Xi doesn't want any more emergencies to happen.
The security captain looked ashamed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Han, it was our negligence. We didn't expect someone like this to sneak in. We'll make sure everyone is more careful in the future."
Han Xi nodded. This kind of thing is meant to be prevented before it happens, so that it won't be too late when something bad actually occurs.
Looking at Liu Ming's greedy face, Han Xi could basically guess his purpose for coming.
