Chapter 390 Family Support
Han Xi now needs to figure out when Ding Shan started having psychological problems, why there was a medical report, and when the hypnotist approached her.
Gu Beichen was unaware of these things, but Gu Hongyi certainly knew something about them.
"Brother, now that Aunt's condition has stabilized, can I talk to him?"
Gu Beichen said with difficulty, "Han Xi, it's not that I don't want to help you, but right now even when I talk to him, he starts swearing. I think we should wait until he calms down before we talk."
Zhuo Qingqian chimed in, "Xi Xi, Bei Chen is right. Uncle's emotions are unstable right now. Even if you ask, he might not answer you."
Han Xi nodded helplessly. Things had come to this point, and it seemed there was nothing else to do but wait.
Shen Jiheng patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "It's fortunate that you're out of danger. Perhaps we can get the answer from her when she wakes up."
But given Ding Shan's current situation, can Han Xi still get the truthful answer from her?
She really had no confidence at all.
After what happened to Ding Shan, Han Xi realized that everything was outside her plan. After figuring out the cause and effect, she no longer wanted to get involved in anything related to the Gu family.
“Ji Heng is right. Don’t overthink it. I’ll stay at the hospital. You guys help me take Qianqian back. She’s having some morning sickness from the smell of the hospital.”
Hearing this, Han Xi calmed down considerably; he couldn't let the people around him suffer any longer.
"Remember to let me know if there's any news, and also mention those things I just told you to your uncle when you have the chance."
Ultimately, he had to face the inescapable reality, and no matter how much time it took, Han Xi had to figure it out.
Gu Beichen saw the group to the door, and after watching the car leave, he opened the cross in his hand and fell into deep thought.
How many things are there that he doesn't know...?
As the car drove back to the Gu family compound, Han Xi felt a sense of oppression for the first time when the gate was opened.
She didn't want to cause unpleasantness for the Gu family because of her. If it was an endless argument, she would rather move out.
Shen Jiheng saw through her thoughts and said softly, "Don't hesitate too much. Follow your heart. If you feel tired, I'll still be by your side."
When Han Xi turned around and saw him, her anxious heart immediately calmed down.
He's absolutely right. With him as a safe haven behind me, I never have to worry about anything else.
Zhuo Qingqian said enviously, "Xi Xi, your relationship with President Shen is really stable now. Judging from your outfits, you must be getting ready for a happy occasion."
Han Xi gave a regretful smile, but shook her head in denial.
"We just wanted a change of pace, it's nothing serious."
Han Xi only wanted to share her joy with her family and friends, keeping the regrets to herself.
Knowing her personality, Zhuo Qingqian didn't say anything more, but held her hand and smiled, "In any case, we should both be happy."
"Of course. You're not feeling well right now, so you need to rest more. Don't do any work for the next couple of days. We've already hired a few servants, and we've checked their backgrounds so there won't be any problems."
Zhuo Qingqian gave a bitter smile of relief and opened her arms to hug her.
"My dear sister, you've saved my life! You know how lazy I am. If something can be solved with money, I absolutely won't lift a finger."
Han Xi was both amused and exasperated. "Of course I know, so thank you for your hard work these past few days, Miss. You'll be free soon."
The two entered the house chatting and laughing, and when they reached the living room, they saw the Gu family elders sitting on the sofa with serious expressions.
It wasn't the warm atmosphere of the past, but rather an indescribable sense of authority.
At least since Han Xi returned to the Gu family, this has never happened before.
Could it be that they, like Gu Hongyi, blame themselves for harming Ding Shan?
Grandma, what's going on here?
Grandpa Gu sighed and said, "I heard he was cursing at you at the hospital."
Han Xi quickly shook her head: "These are all misunderstandings. I can understand how your uncle felt at the time. Grandpa, please don't blame him."
Grandpa Gu slammed his hand on the coffee table and said angrily, "It's outrageous! He used to indulge his daughter's misbehavior and was easily swayed by Ding Shan's words, turning a perfectly good family into a mess."
Han Xi didn't know much about Gu Hongyi, but her biggest memory of him was that he doted on his wife.
Thinking back to four years ago, when they went to the company to block Gu Hanxi's way of getting her acquitted, and even went to her apartment building, it was indeed very extreme.
When she returned to the Gu family, Gu Hongyi was very polite and friendly to her, which made Han Xi gradually forget what had happened.
"Grandpa, I also bear responsibility for this incident."
Old Mrs. Gu said sternly, "Don't take the blame upon yourself. She broke the law and should be punished. As the ancients said, the emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people. She has harmed so many people, how can she be given special privileges?"
Han Xi thought the two old people had come to scold her, but she didn't expect them to actually say such righteous words.
Grandma Gu stood up and walked towards her, took her hand and patted it, her eyes full of tenderness.
“Child, you did nothing wrong. It’s all our fault that the Gu family has wronged you. Please don’t take it to heart. This will always be your home.”
With tears welling up in her eyes, Zhuo Qingqian said, "I really married into a good family. Grandpa and Grandma, you must live to be a hundred years old. If I ever have a dispute with Beichen in the future, you must stand up for me."
Grandma Gu beckoned her over; she had always liked Zhuo Qingqian, this clever and capable girl.
"Grandma has confidence in you, that kid Beichen. You can handle him."
Zhuo Qingqian promised, "Grandma, I will take good care of him from now on, as well as Uncle and Aunt. You are all my family."
Grandma Gu hugged the two of them, and her gloomy mood dissipated.
Hearing the laughter of three children coming from the courtyard, Grandma Gu made a statement.
"Han Xi, we waited here for you to come back so that you would know that no matter what happens, you must not move out. We can still protect you."
These words put some pressure on Han Xi. It would be better for everyone if she moved out, but if Gu Hongyi and his wife moved out, it would only affect their relationship.
"Grandma, I know you and Grandpa love us. Let's talk about this later."
Seeing their uneasy looks, Han Xi didn't want to continue the topic and decided to wait until everyone was more relaxed before bringing it up again.
Grandpa Gu said lovingly, "Your maternal grandfather is your strongest support. I will protect you and your child."
This was taking away Shen Jiheng's job, but he wasn't unhappy at all; on the contrary, he was gratified.
It's so wonderful that Han Xi is so loved by her family.
Grandma Gu could guess what was going on just by looking at their outfits, but given the current atmosphere, she pretended not to know anything. More than anyone else, she hoped that Han Xi could get back together with Shen Jiheng as soon as possible.
In the evening, Gu Beichen sent good news, saying that Ding Shan had woken up, but she was dazed and refused to speak, and the dean was treating her.
However, bad news came from the foreign embassy: they did not find the hypnotist they were looking for at the airport exit, and the crew also said they did not see him.
This clearly shows that the other party was aware of their plan and escaped before the arrest.
