Chapter 322 Using His Death as a Dowry
However, Bai Xue knew that apart from Han Xi, no other woman had ever appeared by his side, so she didn't know what he meant by saying such things now.
"Mr. Bo, what are you talking about? Am I dreaming?"
Bo Siye gracefully took her hand and placed the wine glass in her hand.
"Am I not good at expressing myself? Or did you not understand? You're not dreaming, I just want to marry you and make you a wealthy wife."
Bai Xue's hands trembled with panic, her face filled with disbelief. Why would Bo Siye have such a thought?
She knew that staying by Shen Jiheng's side was useless; this man would never choose her.
Even if Han Xi weren't around, she wouldn't have had a chance, let alone now that she has two children, she has even less of a chance.
She stammered, "Why...why did you choose me?"
Bo Siye smiled and said, "You've done so much for me, so I'll take it as my way of thanking you. Besides, I'm also planning to get married, so rather than choosing a woman I don't know well, I'd rather choose you."
Bai Xue looked at him with tears in her eyes, never expecting that such a good thing would happen to her.
Even if she doesn't love Bo Siyue, marriage is a gamble. As long as she marries someone like him, she will have a plan, and her future will be bright.
"Are you willing?"
Bai Xue nodded excitedly, wiped away her tears, and said with a smile, "Of course I'm willing, I will definitely be a good wife."
Bo Siye smiled and said, "But there's a condition."
Bai Xue's smile froze; it wasn't that easy after all.
"What premise?"
"That means Shen Jiheng must die, and you must be the one to send him on his way."
Bai Xue should have realized it wouldn't be easy; how could Bo Siye marry her so easily? So that's what it meant.
But getting rid of Shen Jiheng is easier said than done, and the risks are so great.
"What if I refuse?"
"You will. He holds a grudge against you for what happened four years ago. Also, the group of people you hired to bully the old lady during a morning run have been arrested. They will definitely implicate you. With both old and new grudges, do you think he will let you go?"
Bai Xue thought all these things were over, but she didn't expect Shen Jiheng to be investigating behind the scenes.
Bo Siye continued, "You think these things are over, but he has been investigating behind the scenes. I believe he brought you to the company to monitor you."
Bai Xue was extremely panicked. In order to prevent Shen Jiheng from pursuing the matter from four years ago, she deliberately arranged for someone to rob the old lady while she was jogging in the morning, and then she would risk her life to save her.
She was stabbed for this, and the wound is still painful to this day.
Now that he has caught these people, if she confesses, she is truly doomed.
"We can't let him know about this."
"So you need to eliminate him before others are aware of the situation in order to resolve any future concerns. The Shen family is definitely on guard now, so it's not easy for others to get close to him."
Bai Xue clenched her fists, finally understanding why Bo Siyue had said he wanted to marry her; he still saw her as a pawn.
"He might not make it out of the operating room."
"What if he is rescued? You can use killing him as your dowry, and I will marry you as my betrothal gift. I will never break my promise."
But when it came to the moment that changed her destiny, Bai Xue nodded after deep thought.
"Okay, I promise you, you must marry me after it's all done."
"Of course, I'll be waiting for your good news."
Seeing Bai Xue's excited expression, Bo Siyue smiled. In the face of greed, not many people can resist temptation.
Especially those who are desperately trying to climb the ladder.
At the operating room door, Madam Shen and Han Xi held each other's hands tightly, waiting for the results together.
Bai Xue rushed over, anxiously asking, "Auntie, how is Brother Ji Heng?"
Madam Shen shook her head: "I don't know yet."
Bai Xue looked extremely anxious, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, "How could this happen? Brother Ji Heng, please don't let anything happen to you."
"How did you end up here?" Han Xi was now full of suspicion towards this person.
Bai Xue sobbed, "When I saw that Brother Ji Heng wasn't at the company, I called Assistant Qin and found out that something had happened."
Seeing her crying, Han Xi said seriously, "Don't cry here, Ji Heng will be fine."
"I'm sorry, Miss Han, I was just too worried. I won't cry. Brother Ji Heng will definitely come out safely. He won't abandon us."
Bai Xue looked aggrieved, which made Han Xi feel irritable.
Madam Shen sighed, "You stay here with us and wait for news."
Bai Xue nodded obediently, gazing at the operating room door, hoping that Shen Jiheng would never come out, so that she wouldn't have to do anything.
She never imagined that one day she would so desperately want Shen Jiheng to disappear.
Perhaps what she loved all along was not Shen Jiheng, but the power he wielded.
Now that others can provide her with these things, Shen Jiheng has been left behind.
Han Xi noticed the change in her eyes and sensed that something was amiss.
Han Xi must find an opportunity to tell Madam Shen about this matter in order to prevent Bai Xue from getting close to Shen Jiheng and to prevent Madam Shen from trusting this person again.
Two hours later, the operating room door opened, and the group rushed over.
"Dean, how is Ji Heng?"
"Madam, there's no need to worry. You're out of danger."
Madam Shen breathed a long sigh of relief. If something had happened to him, the entire Shen family would probably have perished.
Han Xi asked anxiously, "How is he? Is it serious?"
The dean frowned, which made Han Xixin's heart ache as well.
"The situation is not optimistic. The head was hit, resulting in a severe concussion. Even if he recovers, he will have long-term effects."
Han Xi took a deep breath and asked again, "When will he wake up?"
"It's hard to say. There's still some blood clot in his brain that hasn't been completely cleared. It depends on his recovery. If it doesn't go away, he'll need to have another surgery."
The injuries were far more serious than expected, causing them both great distress.
Hearing this, Bai Xue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't wake up, she still had a chance to make a move.
"Thank you, Dean. I will take good care of him."
“I’ve arranged for him to be observed in the intensive care unit. Professor Yang and I will take turns looking after him to help him through the critical period, so you don’t need to worry too much.”
Madam Shen thanked her repeatedly, then turned and took Han Xi's hand, offering her encouragement and comfort.
Bai Xue also stepped forward feigning concern, putting her hands together and saying, "Thank goodness Ji Heng is alright. I knew he was a lucky person. Auntie, don't worry, he'll get better soon."
Han Xi nodded and smiled, "Miss Bai is so thoughtful. However, we have been waiting for several hours, and I see that your mother looks a bit tired. Could you please go and buy us two cups of coffee?"
Bai Xue was most skilled at performing, and nodded repeatedly.
"You guys take a break, I'll go buy it right away."
"Thanks a lot."
Bai Xue nodded sensibly, her obedient appearance making her seem harmless and causing people to overlook everything that had happened to her.
But these things could no longer fool Han Xi. After she left, Han Xi's face darkened, and he turned to look at Madam Chen.
"Auntie, there's something I need to tell you. From now on, you absolutely cannot trust Bai Xue anymore, and you absolutely cannot let her get close to Ji Heng."
