Chapter 323 Her Appearance Breaks Through Defenses
Han Xi deliberately sent Bai Xue away so that he could tell Madam Shen something important.
Judging from her serious tone, Madam Shen knew that something serious must have happened again.
"You look so serious, what happened?"
"Bai Xue and someone impersonating Ji Heng were doing bad things behind his back and framing him for them. We were investigating this matter today when he got into a car accident."
Madam Shen's eyes widened in surprise as she asked, "Someone is impersonating Ji Heng?"
Han Xi nodded and recounted the recent events. Madam Shen immediately sensed that there was a conspiracy involved.
"I really didn't expect that you let her off the hook, but she would do something bad behind my back."
“Ji Heng didn’t let her off the hook, but instead quietly investigated her behind the scenes. He just messaged me yesterday to say that he had caught the thugs that Grandma had encountered while jogging in the morning.”
Madam Shen was confused. She thought everything had calmed down long ago, but she didn't expect there were still many things she didn't know.
What do you mean?
"I suspect that these villains were deliberately arranged by Bai Xue. She used the kindness of saving her grandmother with her life to gain everyone's forgiveness."
If it weren't for Bai Xue saving people back then, she would have been imprisoned long ago, and she wouldn't have the freedom she has now.
When Madam Shen heard these terrible things, she couldn't reconcile them with the image of the well-behaved and lovely Bai Xue she usually had.
Since they met Bai Xue, she has always been a sensible child. Even when she hurt Han Xi four years ago, they believed that she was forced by Gu Hanxi.
Hearing these words now makes it impossible to see her true colors.
"Have they all confessed?"
"He hasn't confessed yet. Ji Heng originally planned to interrogate him himself, but this incident disrupted our original plan. However, I trust my intuition."
“I believe what you say. In short, this Bai Xue is too dangerous and absolutely cannot get close to Ji Heng. I think we should send her away.”
Madam Shen now believes in the possibility of something being true, but she cannot allow her only son to be put in danger.
Han Xi held her hand and said, "Auntie, please relax. I suspect that her presence here is very likely related to the mastermind behind the murder."
"It seems she has other motives for trying to stay by our side."
Han Xi nodded: "Her biggest goal should be to marry Ji Heng and become a wealthy wife. What we need to do now is to monitor her actions, down to every detail of her daily life."
“She’s not worthy of being my daughter-in-law at all. Leave the monitoring to me, and you can focus on taking care of Shen Jiheng.”
Madam Shen will not let anyone who poses a threat to her family get away with it.
Seeing Madam Shen's resolute attitude, Han Xi finally felt relieved.
If she weren't worried that Bai Xue might take the opportunity to harm Shen Jiheng, she wouldn't want Madam Shen to worry at all.
"Auntie, you should also be careful."
Madam Shen patted her shoulder and said with relief, "I feel at ease with you by my side."
From the moment Han Xi married into the Shen family, they recognized her as their daughter-in-law and believed that no matter what happened, they would stand by her side without hesitation, thus establishing a strong relationship of trust between them.
When Bai Xue returned, she was carrying coffee and bread, looking gentle and virtuous.
"Auntie, I bought some bread. You and Miss Han must be hungry after waiting for so long. Have something to eat first. Hospital food is definitely not as hygienic as home food. What would you like to eat? I'll go home and make it for you later and bring it over."
Bai Xue's tactful words will surely win over Madam Shen's heart.
Usually, the host would simply thank her and then refuse her polite words, but this time, Snow White miscalculated.
Madam Shen smiled gratefully upon hearing this.
"Xue'er, you are so thoughtful. My stomach has been upset lately, so I can't eat out. Could you please go back and prepare some light food for me? Don't put any of the seasonings in it."
"...Is your aunt feeling unwell?"
Bai Xue clearly hadn't expected that she would actually be asked to go back and cook; she had originally intended to stay at the hospital to take care of Shen Jiheng.
If I don't stay by his side, how will I have a chance to make a move?
Madam Shen nodded and sighed helplessly.
"As people get older, their physical condition declines. It's rare for you to be so considerate, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."
Having said all that, Bai Xue was in a dilemma; she couldn't very well take it back, so she had no choice but to obediently nod.
"Then you guys stay at the hospital with Ji Heng for now, I'll go back and get ready."
"Thank you for your hard work, please be careful on the road."
Madam Shen stroked her face, her eyes full of admiration.
Bai Xue was overjoyed to have gained Shen Jiheng's trust, knowing that she would now have more opportunities to get closer to him.
After she left, Madam Shen's face darkened. She clenched her fists and said coldly, "I've already arranged for people to follow her. Once we find her accomplices, we'll take them all down in one fell swoop."
This was the first time Han Xi had ever seen Madam Shen look at him with such hostility.
She may appear gentle and virtuous on the surface, but she can be ruthless if you cross her bottom line.
If she were an ordinary person, how could she have secured Madam Shen's position? It's impossible to say that she has no tricks up her sleeve.
There are no two kind souls in the Shen family; they just don't want to cause trouble.
"I'll go in and check on Ji Heng first."
Madam Shen nodded. Right now, the person she trusts the most is Han Xi.
When Han Xi returned to the ward and saw Shen Jiheng's pale face, she felt an indescribable sadness.
She used to hate this man, wishing he were dead.
But now, she was terrified.
She couldn't imagine what she would become if Shen Jiheng didn't exist in the future.
All she knew was that thinking about this problem caused her heart to ache so much that she couldn't breathe.
"Shen Jiheng, weren't you so imposing? Now you're lying here looking pathetic. Wake up right now."
She still preferred Shen Jiheng, the one who would tease her and make her angry.
I don't like how weak he looks.
“I know you’ve been very tired lately, so I’m giving you a break, but you’ll only have two days to rest. After that, you have to get better.”
Han Xi grasped his hand, wanting to convey her feelings to him.
In the evening, Gu Beichen brought Zhuo Qingqian to the hospital.
Zhuo Qingqian rested abroad for more than ten days, and her pregnancy symptoms stabilized. Logically, she should have continued to stay in the country to recuperate, but she was worried about Han Xi's condition and decided to come back.
When Han Xi knocked on the door, she was stunned to see her. Zhuo Qingqian hadn't told her about her return.
"Qianqian, why did you come back?"
The two spoke on the phone in the afternoon, and Zhuo Qingqian was very worried about her emotions. Ignoring Gu Beichen's advice, she decided to come back and see her anyway.
Zhuo Qingqian's complexion was much rosier, and she looked to be in good spirits. She opened her arms and said, "Of course I'm worried about my best friend. At this time, you need someone by your side, so I'm here. Come and let me hug you."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Han Xi turned her head and said with a wry smile, "You really came all this way to make me cry, didn't you? I've been holding back until now."
Han Xi had been holding back for a long time, but her appearance broke her defenses.
