Chapter 343 Sudden Change of Attitude
Han Xi was extremely anxious upon hearing that Shen Jiheng was in trouble, and couldn't bear to stay any longer.
Seeing her nod anxiously, Gu Hongyi said, "Then you should go back quickly. I'll let you know if anything happens, and please convey our apologies to him."
"I see."
After saying hello, Han Xi immediately rushed back with Leng Yu.
Shen Jiheng's injuries were not healing well, which was her biggest worry.
When Han Xi rushed back to Hengtian Hospital, Shen Jiheng was already in the ward. She hurriedly ran in, looked at the wound on his head, and asked anxiously, "Has the director finished the examination? What's the situation?"
Shen Jiheng, on the other hand, appeared very calm and asked her curiously.
"Why did you suddenly come back? Have you found out what happened over there?"
Han Xi glanced at Qin Chuan beside him, and he immediately gave her a meaningful look, warning her not to reveal that she had leaked the information.
Han Xi took a deep breath and said, "My aunt can't think of any key evidence yet, so I came back first. But are you really alright?"
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "I'm fine. I just had some dizziness and a nosebleed earlier, but the dean checked me and everything was fine."
She clearly heard Qin Chuan say he vomited blood; he was deliberately using a nosebleed to fool her.
"It's good that you're alright. Make sure you get plenty of rest. My uncle asked me to convey his apologies. He feels sorry for what happened to my aunt."
Shen Jiheng's cold face revealed hatred as he spoke angrily.
“What’s the use of apologizing? Even if she was instructed by someone, she is still the biggest accomplice and deserves to be punished. It’s not about letting her live a comfortable life now.”
Han Xi was startled by his tone; he had already given up on the matter.
"You mean you want to sue her?"
Shen Jiheng looked up, his gaze sharp, revealing an emotion that Han Xi couldn't decipher.
“Her test results are problematic. It’s very likely that they were just a way to escape punishment. I will have the relevant authorities re-evaluate them.”
"But......"
“She has harmed so many people, how can she be let off so easily? As a lawyer, you should know that many people will try to find many ways to escape legal punishment.”
Shen Jiheng's voice was cold, and his eyes were sinister, making Han Xi feel somewhat unfamiliar with him.
He never looked at her like that before, and now the sense of distance made Han Xi feel uncomfortable.
"Ji Heng, are you alright? Why are you suddenly bringing this up? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shen Jiheng said seriously, "I just feel that I have been too lenient with these people in the past, allowing them to climb over my head and do evil. I have to make an example of them."
Han Xi couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, so she could only try to calm herself down.
“I don’t want to make excuses for my aunt, but she did have mental health issues at the time and was taken advantage of by Bo Siye. You should understand her.”
"Why should you try to understand someone who hurts you, including yourself? If you want to stay by my side, you have to listen to me from now on and not argue with me. I don't like people contradicting me."
Shen Jiheng's sudden change stunned Han Xi. Had something happened between them?
Before she left, Shen Jiheng was still very gentle and wouldn't speak to her in this tone.
That moment just now felt like it took her back to the past, to see the selfish and self-centered Shen Jiheng.
"I'm just telling you this, isn't your reaction a bit too much?"
"It's more like you're trying to exonerate Ding Shan. Some of the Shen family's children still suffer from aftereffects, and my uncle and his family are constantly coming to us demanding answers. Do you know how much psychological pressure I've been under?"
These words struck a chord with Han Xi; they were indeed true, and she couldn't refute them.
Shen Jiheng added, "From now on, handle things according to the normal procedures and stop causing me trouble."
He exuded that same imposing aura as before, pushing people away.
Ultimately, Ding Shan was indeed at fault. Even if she was deceived, she shouldn't have done such a thing.
"Then let's do it your way. You don't look well right now, don't think too much, rest for a while."
"Stop nagging me from now on, go back."
Han Xi paused, carefully examining Shen Jiheng, as if something was amiss.
Over the past few months, he had already gotten rid of his bad temper. Could it be that his injury has caused him to become like this again?
Han Xi took a deep breath to stay calm, sat down in front of him and smiled gently, "Ji Heng, I've almost finished with work at the company, so I'll stay and keep you company."
Shen Jiheng turned away, lay down, closed his eyes, and said coldly, "Do as you please."
Han Xi felt a little embarrassed. She looked at Qin Chuan and gestured for him to go outside and wait for her.
"Then you should get some rest. I'll go back to the company to take care of some things and then come back."
Shen Jiheng didn't respond, so Han Xi had no choice but to cover him with the blanket and leave.
The moment the door closed, Shen Jiheng's eyelids twitched, but he quickly regained his composure.
Before Han Xi could speak, Qin Chuan said anxiously, "Miss Han, I'm sorry, the president was in a bad mood, that's why he said those things. Please don't blame him."
Han Xi smiled slightly: "How could I blame him? What he said makes sense. It's just that I'm not used to his sudden change. I specifically asked you to come out so I could ask him about his situation."
Qin Chuan sighed: "I know what you want to ask. Actually, I'm not quite sure either. When I went to get something and came back to the ward, I saw him wiping blood from the corner of his mouth, but he said it was a nosebleed."
That makes it really hard to judge. Han Xi then asked, "Did he have any other reactions at the time?"
"He seemed very uncomfortable. When I asked him about it, he scolded me and told me not to talk back. I didn't feel comfortable asking the dean about the situation."
Qin Chuan could only tell him everything he knew.
Han Xi nodded: "Anyway, thank you for informing me of this situation in time. I'll need you to keep a close eye on things in the future and let me know immediately if there's any news. I'll go talk to the dean."
Qin Chuan nodded, hoping that the president and Han Xi could get married as soon as possible.
Han Xi found the dean's office and knocked on the door: "Dean, may I come in, please?"
"Ms. Han, please come in. I am currently writing Mr. Shen's treatment plan."
The dean put down his pen, got up, poured her a glass of water, and handed it to her.
Han Xi nodded in acknowledgment and asked, "Ji Heng said he vomited blood today. Is the situation serious?"
She said it that way on purpose, so that if there was any mistake, the dean would naturally correct it.
The dean asked curiously, "Spitting blood? I didn't hear him mention that. He just had a nosebleed, which was just a side effect of the medication. It's nothing serious."
Hearing this, Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that he had indeed been overthinking things.
"I must have misheard. His mood suddenly changed today, and I'm not used to it."
“His brain injury and nerve damage will have some impact, and it may even worsen as the situation progresses, making him more irritable, which I'm afraid you might not be able to accept.”
So that's how it is. While Han Xi was worried, she also felt sorry for everything he had endured.
Can this situation be alleviated?
Han Xi really didn't want to face a short-tempered person in the future, and didn't want to spend her days in endless arguments.
