Chapter 33 Intentionally Seeking Trouble
Shen Jiheng's gaze was cold and unfathomable.
Anyone who threatens him will not have a good end, and he does not want Han Xi to join that group.
Han Xi's expression remained unchanged. "But there are exceptions, aren't there? That person is Gu Hanxi!"
These words struck a chord with Shen Jiheng. In order to uphold his promise from back then, he had a reason to compromise temporarily.
"You don't need to concern yourself with this matter."
"As long as you give up your shares, I promise I won't say a word."
Shen Jiheng stroked her face and smiled faintly, "You want to take back the shares and then divorce me, right? Your wishful thinking is brilliant, but it won't work on me."
"Aren't you afraid I'll tell them?"
"I'm scared, but once you tell me this, I guarantee you'll regret it. You can try it."
The sharp tone sent a chill down Han Xi's spine. She pushed away Shen Jiheng's hand and stepped aside.
She's been living with a devil all these years.
Shen Jiheng added, "Actually, you can have the shares if you want them, as long as you promise me one thing."
Han Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, and she asked excitedly, "What is it?"
"Give me a child, and I'll not only return your shares in Han Shu Group, but I'll also give you 10% of the shares in Shen's Group as a reward."
Anyway, she loves money and is greedy, so she definitely won't refuse such a generous offer.
How ridiculous, it turns out that this is still how he sees me.
He still believed that as long as he paid her enough money, she would stay.
Han Xi wore a smile, but a wave of sadness, mixed with despair and pain, rose in her heart. In the end, she had given her heart to the wrong person.
If it weren't for Han Yue's ambitious face, and if it weren't for the need to prevent him from taking over his mother's hard work, Han Xi would have wanted to divorce him immediately.
"Listen to me, don't even think about it."
Shen Jiheng hissed. Had the conditions he offered not yet swayed her? This woman's appetite was growing bigger and bigger.
Just as he was about to continue probing, his phone rang in his pocket. Seeing that it was Lu Chen calling, he coughed and walked to the balcony to answer it.
"What's going on?"
"President, Miss Gu has suddenly fainted. The doctor said her condition is quite serious. Please come over immediately."
He wouldn't respond if Gu Hanxi called to discuss something, but Lu Chen's words still carried some weight.
He has been patient for so long, he certainly can't afford to have anything go wrong at this critical juncture.
"Understood, come right away. Have Professor Yang keep an eye on things, and make sure nothing happens."
"clear!"
After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiheng quickly walked out. Seeing that he was about to leave, Han Xi quickly stepped forward to stop him.
"where are you going?"
"I'm going to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Han Xi leaned against the door and spread his arms to block it.
"No, you mustn't go."
Seeing her anxious expression, Shen Jiheng was secretly pleased. He pinched her cheek and asked, "What's wrong? Are you jealous?"
Han Xi slapped his hand away and said coldly, "Who's jealous of you? I'm just telling you that if you're leaving, take me with you. I don't want to be left here alone to be pressured by your grandma and mom to have a baby."
So that's how it is; Shen Jiheng's little bit of joy was dashed.
"Get out of my way, I don't have time to argue with you about this."
"No, if you don't take me with you, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand their questioning later. If I accidentally let something slip, don't blame me."
"You're deliberately trying to make me unhappy."
"You selfishly abandoned me, so why can't I fight for my own rights? If we're going to leave, we'll go together, otherwise neither of us will get out of this door. Anyway, I have time, let's see if your little lover can wait."
Shen Jiheng would be driven crazy by her sooner or later, but now that he was worried about Gu Hanxi's situation, he had no choice but to agree to take her with him.
"Okay, let's leave together."
Shen Jiheng glanced at her, opened the door, and went out. Han Xi picked up her bag and followed closely behind him.
In the living room, Grandma Shen and her daughter-in-law chatted and laughed, thinking that they would soon be able to hold their great-grandchild after today.
But when he heard hurried footsteps coming from the stairs, he turned around and was stunned to see the two of them together.
Madam Shen asked in confusion, "This...it's already evening, where are you two going? Didn't you agree to stay here?"
Shen Jiheng didn't want to explain and walked straight towards the door.
Just when Han Xi thought he was going to abandon her, he turned back two steps and impatiently pulled her hand to walk with him.
"Hey, wait a minute, why did you two leave without saying a word? What happened?" Old Mrs. Shen was also furious.
Han Xi wanted to turn around and say a few words, but Shen Jiheng left in such a hurry that he didn't give her a chance to explain before pulling her into the car.
Shen Jiheng immediately had the driver take him to Hengtian Hospital, prompting Han Xi to complain.
“I told you that what you did was very irresponsible, and that your grandma and the others were just worried about you.”
"Then go down and explain to them yourself."
Han Xi: "......"
She was too talkative; the Shen family is truly unlucky to have a descendant like him.
Shen Jiheng looked very nervous, and it was unclear what had happened at the hospital.
Han Xi turned her head to look at the beautiful night view outside the car window. The neon lights shone on her pretty face, reflecting her sad eyes.
What kind of situation is this? How long is she supposed to maintain this kind of relationship?
Suddenly a box landed on her lap. Han Xi looked down in surprise and saw that it was an exquisite jewelry box.
"This is?"
“The exhibits that the jeweler sent this morning are not for me; you can take them.”
The Shen Group's shopping malls are located all over the country, and it's not surprising that merchants often send him gifts to curry favor.
Last year, a merchant gave her a batch of women's clothing, and Shen Jiheng said it was all given to her for free, which made her happy for more than half a year.
Looking back now, I realize that as the wife of the richest man in Chongqing, I was actually happy for a long time because of these free clothes. At the time, I was ridiculed by Shen Jiheng with many sarcastic remarks.
How could he know that his happiness stemmed from the fact that the gift was a gift from him?
Han Xi opened the box and found a valuable diamond necklace. In the past, she would have been thrilled, but now it was a burden to her.
I already wanted to cut ties with him, but now he's accepted such an expensive gift. Whether it's free or not, the gift itself is too valuable.
Han Xi closed the box and handed it back to him.
"I don't want to."
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Jiheng's eyes. "What are you up to now?"
"If you really want to give me something, then give me what I need. Give me the shares."
The topic came up again, and Shen Jiheng's anger surged to the top of his head.
"Han Xi, you seem to have misunderstood. Without my protection, do you think Han Shu Group could have been revived in Chongqing? If it weren't for my protection, you would have been kicked out of the Han family long ago."
The sharp words pierced Han Xi's heart like needles, and he finally managed to say them.
In his eyes, he was nothing.
Since things had already progressed to this point, Shen Jiheng decided to press his advantage and cut off all her hopes in one fell swoop.
"Furthermore, I can tell you clearly that even if you get the shares, it won't change the fact that you can only rely on me."
