Chapter 392 Don't pursue this any further.
Hearing Shen Jiheng's sigh, Han Xi couldn't help but tease him.
"Young Master Shen, you have never truly experienced taking care of a child. You complain of being tired after just a short time with them. Do you know how I've spent the past few years?"
Han Xi didn't mean to complain about him, but rather that she had truly gritted her teeth and endured those difficult days in the past.
She was already seriously injured when she went abroad. In order to save the baby in her womb, she refused to take anti-inflammatory drugs and would bite a towel to get through the pain.
She had forgotten how many times she had fainted before finally getting through those agonizing days.
Shen Jiheng quickly hugged her, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things, and I have no right to."
Han Xi knew that wasn't what he meant, but she couldn't help but say it out loud.
“Actually, I didn’t care how tired I was in the past. My only wish was for Yumo to get better. I was really afraid that she wouldn’t be able to live like a normal person.”
Shen Jiheng gently patted her shoulder, feeling sorry for what she had gone through back then, but he could not undo what had happened.
He could only spend the rest of his life loving Han Xi and making up for his mistakes.
“Yumo is becoming more and more lively and has shown her talents. She will definitely be more outstanding than us in the future.”
"It was all worth it, and I'm very glad."
Shen Jiheng hugged her even tighter. If they hadn't separated because of those misunderstandings back then, they would definitely be living a very happy life.
The next morning, Han Xi specially cooked some millet porridge and brought it to the hospital, since Ding Shan could only eat liquid food in her current condition.
Of course, she had expected Gu Hongyi to be in a bad mood before she came, and sure enough, she was questioned as soon as she entered.
"What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay away from us from now on?"
Han Xi could understand Gu Hongyi's attitude towards her under the dangerous and urgent circumstances yesterday. After all, it was normal for him to go crazy when his beloved wife encountered such changes.
But Ding Shan was no longer in danger, and he had come to visit her out of kindness, yet he still maintained this attitude, which Han Xi couldn't understand.
Can a person really be completely changed by one thing?
Whether this was his true nature or not left Han Xi somewhat confused.
"Uncle, food bought outside is never as hygienic, so I specially cooked this for Aunt this morning."
Gu Beichen warmly reached out and took it, saying gratefully, "Han Xi, you're so thoughtful. My mother hasn't woken up yet; I'll give it to her when she wakes up."
Gu Hongyi glared at her unhappily and said sarcastically, "Who knows if there's poison in this porridge? You dare to feed it to your mother? Who will be responsible if something happens?"
"Dad, don't say such harsh things." Gu Beichen scolded, then turned to Han Xi and apologized, "Han Xi, don't pay attention to him. My dad is also mentally unstable due to a shock."
Han Xi shook his head with a wry smile, remaining calm as he said, "Uncle, I think we should have a proper talk. My brother is here to keep an eye on things, so I'll just take up a little of your time."
Han Xi really disliked this way of getting along. If they couldn't get over this hurdle, how could they continue to get along?
Although both elders of the Gu family were on his side, Han Xi couldn't let them turn against each other.
Gu Beichen patted his shoulder and earnestly advised, "Dad, Han Xi is sincerely trying to talk to you. If you really have any complaints, just tell her."
Gu Hongyi glanced at his wife on the hospital bed before reluctantly following Han Xi out.
The two entered the corridor, and Gu Hongyi was already impatiently urging them on.
"Hurry up and say what you have to say, or Ding Shan will start looking for me again when she wakes up and doesn't see me."
"Uncle, I want to know what happened."
Gu Hongyi said coldly, "Don't you know what happened? My wife is still lying there."
Han Xi shook her head, grabbed his arm and said, "You know I'm not referring to this. You've always been reasonable, you wouldn't have changed like this for no reason. Are you hiding something from me?"
Gu Hongyi shook off her hand, his eyes filled with disgust.
“I used to be reasonable, but after Ding Shan went through all this, I hate you. If it weren’t for your solution, she wouldn’t have gotten into this mess.”
“I take responsibility for this, but the people behind it are the most hateful. Didn’t my aunt have mental health issues six months ago? Why did you forge the medical report back then? What were you planning to do?”
Han Xi had previously thought she was trying to avoid the matter of poisoning her.
But as things have progressed, she has realized that the problem is not so simple.
Ding Shan had a mental illness assessment certificate six months ago, indicating that she had other plans.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have the ability to foresee the future and know in advance what would happen today.
"I don't know, don't ask me."
"Uncle, what are you running away from? If you don't tell me, how can I help you solve these problems?"
Seeing his current reaction, Han Xi became even more certain that something was wrong and that she had to find a way to get him to tell the truth.
However, Gu Hongyi showed no intention of cooperating.
“We’ve encountered all this mess because you’re by our side. Only when you leave can our Gu family find peace.”
“If it were really as you say, I could leave with the child, but no, you’re just deliberately distancing yourself and forcing me to leave, aren’t you?”
"Why are you so stubborn? Can't you understand human language? Why are you forcing me to take action?"
Gu Hongyi was about to make a move when he was sternly rebuked by the people behind him.
"Uncle, you'd better apologize to Han Xi before I lose my temper."
Han Xi hurriedly turned around and saw Shen Jiheng standing behind her angrily, his eyes also filled with displeasure.
Han Xi knew why he was angry. Shen Jiheng was worried that she would be wronged, so he did not allow her to come to the hospital to see Gu Hongyi alone to avoid a conflict.
Han Xi left before he even got out of bed in the morning, without even saying goodbye. He must be angry.
"Ji Heng, please don't be like this. We're just having a conversation."
"I heard everything."
As Shen Jiheng spoke, he stepped forward and continued, "Moreover, I already know the reason behind it. If he's too embarrassed to say it, then let me tell you the truth."
Gu Hongyi's expression changed drastically, and he said nervously, "Don't talk nonsense just because you're in a position of power. These are Gu family matters, and have nothing to do with you."
Shen Jiheng was no longer as reserved as before, and spoke his mind directly.
"I am touched by your efforts to protect your wife, but that doesn't mean you can do stupid things."
Han Xi tugged at his sleeve, disliking his tone when speaking to his elders.
Shen Jiheng looked at her and said, "Your good uncle knew about his wife's actions a long time ago and has been protecting her. He should have noticed the problem half a year ago, which is why he prepared the paternity test report in advance."
Han Xi stared at him in disbelief. She had thought that Ding Shan had fabricated all of this, but she never expected that it all originated from him.
"Uncle, is what Ji Heng said true? How long are you going to keep this from me?"
Gu Hongyi's face showed a pained expression, and he waved his hand weakly.
"I don't want to say anything more now that things have come to this. I have already received my retribution. You should go back to where you came from and stop trying to find out what happened."
