Chapter 370 How Did She Become So Despicable Too?
Han Xi has always valued harmony, and in the past, she definitely wouldn't have revealed the truth in this situation.
But she has changed now, and those shameless villains really should be taught a lesson.
She had always been considerate of others, but they took her for granted and stopped taking her seriously.
Shen Mingzhu's face darkened; she never expected Han Xi to say such a thing.
Shen Jiheng let out a heavy sigh. How much patience would it take for him to control his anger?
He made such a big concession this time, but unfortunately someone doesn't seem to appreciate it and even comes out to cause trouble.
Shen Mingzhu quickly said, "Brother, my tone was a bit harsh just now. I'll apologize to my sister-in-law right away. Look, I brought a lot of gifts with me. I'm here to build a closer relationship."
Shen Jiheng's sharp gaze fell on her, and he said coldly, "With your limited understanding, you think you can treat others like fools?"
"No, I just want to go back to the company and help you..."
"I think you'd be better off going back to prison. Don't forget, I have all the evidence against you, and I can send you in anytime!"
Shen Jiheng interrupted her, his sharp words leaving her speechless.
Shen Jiheng walked over and said, "Do you think that by letting you stay in the old house, I'm forgiving what you've done? What's hateful is that you're wasting this opportunity."
As long as Shen Mingzhu stays obediently in the old house and doesn't cause trouble, even knowing that she is filial to her grandmother and mother will give him some comfort.
Unfortunately, none of that is true, and now they still have the nerve to come here and pressure Han Xi.
Shen Jiheng really wanted to throw her out the window.
Shen Mingzhu could tell he was really angry, and she shook her head, trembling, "No, brother, please don't send me in. I know I was wrong, I don't want it anymore, I won't fight for anything."
After saying that, she ran up to Han Xi and hugged her arm for help.
"Sister-in-law, I know I was wrong. I will never do it again. Please forgive me this time."
Han Xi shook off her hand, but Shen Mingzhu seemed to be blown away by the wind, collapsing to the ground as if she had been pushed down by Han Xi.
Before Han Xi could react, Shen Mingzhu clutched her stomach and said in pain, "Brother, sister-in-law, my stomach hurts so much!"
Shen Jiheng immediately told Qin Chuan to call an ambulance. Although she was angry, Qin Chuan was still her younger sister.
He strode forward and saw Shen Mingzhu with her brows furrowed and tears in her eyes. He carefully helped her up.
Han Xi looked down at her hands and murmured, "I didn't push you."
Shen Mingzhu quickly explained for her, "It was because I was weak and couldn't stand steadily. It has nothing to do with my sister-in-law. Brother, please don't blame her."
Han Xi was amused and annoyed. So that's how she was tricked. Was she clever or stupid?
Shen Jiheng helped her sit back on the sofa. Shen Mingzhu clutched her stomach, curled up, and cried out in pain, putting on a convincing act.
Han Xi also said with concern, "Ji Heng, go outside and see if the ambulance has arrived yet. I'll stay here with her."
Shen Jiheng was taken aback at first, but then obeyed her and went out.
Now that only the two of them were left in the office, Han Xi sat down in front of her and smiled, "I really didn't realize your brother still cared about you so much."
Shen Mingzhu looked a little smug.
"The bond of blood is something outsiders like you wouldn't understand. Although he was angry with me for what I did, seeing me suffer still triggered his protective instincts as an older brother."
Han Xi nodded thoughtfully: "I didn't push you at all. You just fell down on your own."
Shen Mingzhu looked at her with the eyes of a victor and said with a smile, "That's not important, the result is what matters."
Han Xi laughed along with her, but her smile seemed a little strange, which made Shen Mingzhu feel uneasy.
Han Xi slowly raised her hand and said, "Would saying such things arouse his protective instincts towards me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xi grabbed Shen Mingzhu's hand and shouted, "Mingzhu, don't be angry. I didn't mean to just now. I didn't expect you to fall."
Hearing the sound, Shen Jiheng hurriedly turned around. The moment he entered the office, he saw Han Xi sitting on the ground with her face covered, and Shen Mingzhu hurriedly withdrew her hand.
The scene was crystal clear, and coupled with Shen Mingzhu's arrogant and domineering personality, he had stopped Han Xi from attacking her several times in the past.
Shen Mingzhu was dumbfounded. She never expected that someone as righteous as Han Xi would actually frame her.
She quickly stood up and explained, "Brother, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't hit her at all, she grabbed my hand and hit me herself."
Han Xi sobbed, "You insisted that I pushed you on purpose just now, and blamed me for not handing over the shares. I only let it go because you are Ji Heng's sister, but you actually hit me."
She really enjoys framing people, so Han Xi decided to let her experience what it's like to be wronged.
Shen Mingzhu almost jumped up, anxiously explaining, "That's not true, I really didn't hit her."
Han Xi pointed at her and said, "Hey, didn't you say you had a stomachache? How come you can stand up now? You weren't faking it earlier, were you?"
Do those guys really not notice the manipulative behavior of girls?
Shen Mingzhu's fall and subsequent attempt to catch herself was all an act.
Shen Jiheng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and he said unhappily, "Were you really faking it just now?"
Shen Mingzhu was speechless and could only say, "I'm just better now, I wasn't faking it."
Han Xi stood up and said coldly, "Since it's all settled, let's handle this officially. We'll deal with it however we need to."
Shen Mingzhu gritted her teeth. She had really tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead, and had been outsmarted by Han Xi.
If she hadn't gone too far, Han Xi wouldn't have bothered with her. Who knew that in order to get away, she would frame her instead? If she didn't teach her a lesson, she wouldn't know why flowers are so red.
Shen Mingzhu admitted defeat and said, "I deliberately fell down just now, but I didn't hit you. Tell my brother the truth."
Seeing her getting impatient, Han Xi couldn't help but suppress a laugh, but deliberately refused to do as she wished.
“I didn’t push you, but it’s true that you hit me. Ji Heng, look, my face is all red.”
Shen Mingzhu's mouth dropped open. When did Han Xi become so despicable?!
Footsteps came from outside the door. Qin Chuan ran to the door and shouted, "President, the ambulance has arrived."
Shen Jiheng looked at his disappointing younger sister and said, "Then send her to the hospital and keep a close watch on her."
Thankfully, she wasn't sent to the police station. Shen Mingzhu didn't dare say another word, only glancing at Han Xi.
Han Xi shrugged; she didn't take this kind of person seriously at all.
Han Xi felt a strange gaze fixed on her, but before she could turn around, Shen Jiheng picked her up in his arms.
"Oh, so you've learned this trick. Are you trying to make me worry on purpose?"
Not only did Shen Mingzhu not expect her to do such a thing, but even Shen Jiheng had never encountered it before, finding it both strange and interesting.
"She was so arrogant, of course I had to scare her a little. Let me make it clear first, I really didn't push her."
Shen Jiheng gently placed her on the sofa, pinched her nose, and laughed, "I believe you wouldn't do such a thing."
