Chapter 379 This is truly not the right time.
Zhuo Qingqian's thoughts are now aligned with Han Xi's, but as family, she definitely wants to help Ding Shan reduce her punishment.
She didn't feel comfortable entrusting the defense to anyone else; Han Xi was the most suitable candidate.
She brought up everything, so it's her turn to put an end to it.
Han Xi said with some worry, "I'm afraid I won't do a good job."
"It's precisely because of your mindset that you'll be even more cautious. Entrusting this to you will definitely not be a mistake." Zhuo Qingqian cast a trusting glance at her, believing that she could handle this matter well.
Shen Jiheng also spoke up: "Miss Zhuo is right, no one is more suitable than you, go!"
If Han Xi handles this case well, she believes she can get closer to Ding Shan and resolve the previous misunderstandings.
Hearing the two praising him, Han Xi nodded: "Okay, then I'll accept it."
Zhuo Qingqian hugged her and smiled, "I knew Xi Xi was the most understanding person, and she could definitely reduce the punishment to the minimum."
Han Xi smiled wryly and nodded. Her purpose in doing this was simply to punish Ding Shan and make her realize what she had done wrong.
When Gu Hongyi and his son returned in the evening, they saw everyone sitting in the living room, and their eyes first fell on Shen Jiheng and Han Xi.
Han Xi had already told the two of them about her plan, and after discussion, the father and son agreed with her approach, but Ding Shan would suffer for a while.
"Han Xi, I'm entrusting your aunt's matter to you. We don't care how much money we have to pay, just make sure the punishment is as mild as possible."
Han Xi nodded. The case wasn't complicated. As long as the Shen family was satisfied and the murderer was brought to justice, the matter would be considered closed.
Rather than constantly being threatened, it's better to deal with it cleanly from the start.
Gu Hongyi agreed to Han Xi's approach because he had taken this issue into consideration.
Gu Beichen said heavily, "My mother also agrees with this. In fact, she has been blaming herself for so long, but she is afraid of going to jail. Now that things have come to this, she will not back down."
Now that everyone was on the same page, Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
She was afraid that the Gu family wouldn't understand her intentions, and she didn't want to interfere if even one person objected.
Now that everyone is united, she is confident that she can do this well.
As he spoke, Gu Beichen walked over to Han Xi and patted her on the shoulder.
"Han Xi, I'm leaving this matter to you. I also thank you for offering the right advice when we were confused; otherwise, we might have continued to make mistakes."
It's ultimately wrong of them to use a psychiatric evaluation to help Ding Shan escape punishment; they can't let her spend the rest of her life in a mental hospital.
Now that we've already torn this veil, let's just burn it all and start afresh.
Han Xi nodded firmly: "Brother, don't worry, I know what to do."
Grandma Gu said emotionally, "This is exactly the scene I wanted to see. When our family unites, there is nothing we cannot overcome."
Gu Hongyi looked guilty and knelt down at her knees, apologizing, "I'm sorry to have troubled you two. Once this is over, we'll stay home and spend time with you."
Since Gu Hanxi's incident, the Gu family has been plagued by troubles, and now Ding Shan is about to face imprisonment.
Although Han Xi defended her and she wouldn't be locked up for too long, it was still a calamity for a wealthy woman like her.
But if we don't get over this, there will be even more trouble in the future.
Now even Ding Shan herself has come to terms with it and is willing to accept the punishment, so she will proceed according to Han Xi's plan.
However, Han Xi is now facing not only the Ding Shan matter, but also several messages from Han Yue that he keeps sending. Tomorrow is the weekend, and she needs to take Han Chuang back with her when she has some free time.
Of course, you should communicate with him beforehand to avoid him being unable to accept it.
Han Xi led Shen Jiheng upstairs; the three children were taking a nap at this time.
Since Han Chuang came to the Gu family, he has taken the initiative to take care of Han Yuxuan and his sister, and the relationship between the three of them has become better and better.
Shen Jiheng patted her head when he saw that she was absent-minded.
"You look so worried. If you're concerned about your aunt's case, I can offer you some assistance."
Han Xi shook her head: "I am confident that I can handle my aunt's matter well. I had already collected the relevant information a long time ago."
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "It seems that you didn't come up with this idea on a whim, but rather that you were prepared for it."
Han Xi nodded and said frankly, "Although I am very angry about what she did, I hate even more the people who used her behind the scenes. She was just a pitiful pawn."
Shen Jiheng put his arms around her shoulders, his eyes full of doting affection.
"You are still so kind, forgiving of your family's mistakes."
“If I weren’t tolerant, you wouldn’t be standing in front of me. I just don’t want bad people to get too cocky.”
Shen Jiheng shrugged helplessly and sighed, "I thought it was my sincerity and love that moved you, but it seems I misunderstood."
Han Xi slapped his arm, "Okay, stop messing around, you know that's not what I meant."
Shen Jiheng laughed heartily, naturally knowing that Han Xi was joking with him.
"Since it's not about your mother, what are you still worried about?"
Han Xi sighed and said, "My father wants to raise Xiao Chuang again and asked me to bring him back for a family dinner tomorrow."
Shen Jiheng frowned, puzzled, and said, "Didn't he firmly say he didn't want children? What's wrong with him now?"
"They said he was too lonely and wanted to train Xiao Chuang to take over. He also has a small business, so he must be bored."
"Judging from your tone, you don't intend to give it to him."
Han Xi frowned, her face full of anxiety.
"Of course I can't let Xiao Chuang go back to his side, but they have lived as father and son for seven years after all. You don't know, he treated this late-life son like a treasure back then."
Shen Jiheng nodded: "I can imagine it, so when I learned the truth, I couldn't accept it for a while and turned all my past love into hatred."
"He's figured it out now, but I already have custody of the child. I also want to hear what Xiao Chuang himself has to say."
Shen Jiheng pinched her cheek and said, "Since you have these worries, you should have told me sooner. I will help you figure out a solution. So, I will go back with you tomorrow."
Han Xi shook her head in refusal, which made someone very unhappy.
"You have such a strong presence that it's hard for everyone to relax when you're around."
Shen Jiheng put his arm around her waist, which was also a sign of rejection.
"No, I have to go. You all need to get some experience too. Otherwise, we have so many days ahead of us, and I can't keep avoiding everything."
"What you said makes sense, but I still won't let you go."
Seeing that she was teasing him, Shen Jiheng picked her up in one go.
"Well, I see you're getting more and more arrogant lately, daring to mess with me. Let's see how I deal with you."
After two days of tension, Shen Jiheng finally relaxed. He had just opened the door with her in his arms when he heard a soft, sweet voice behind him.
"Mom and Dad, you're back."
Shen Jiheng's smile froze, even darkened, but when he turned to face Han Yumo, his face was full of a loving father's smile.
"My darling daughter, you're awake."
Shen Jiheng wanted to cry but had no tears; waking up at such an inopportune time was truly heartbreaking.
