Chapter 425 Everything Should Be in Moderation
Bo Siye had nowhere to vent his anger, so he had to ask the old man himself how long he planned to keep it a secret and whether he regretted it.
Han Xi knew he was angry, but she couldn't let him in, worried that his emotional outburst might hurt the old man.
"Siye, I understand how you feel, but now is not the time to meet. Once you've calmed down, I'll definitely take Grandpa Bo back, okay?"
"No good, nothing I say will work today. I'm going in unless you can stop me."
As he spoke, Bo Siye waved, and several bodyguards immediately got out of the car, ready to take action at any moment.
Shen Jiheng, who had been silent until now, spoke up: "There's no need to stop him. Let him in."
Han Xi turned around in confusion, wondering what Shen Jiheng was thinking.
From the moment he took the initiative to tell everyone the truth, to now not stopping Bo Siyue from seeing the old man, isn't he being a little too calm?
Han Xi whispered, "He's extremely agitated right now, and he's in great danger."
Shen Jiheng calmly said, "He already knows the person is here. Even if he can't break in now, he can call the police to take the person away, and things will only get worse."
These words reminded Han Xi that the old man was a member of the Bo family, and it was illegal for them to take him away like this. Bo Siye had the right to take him back.
However, Shen Jiheng's behavior was also unpredictable to Bo Siye. Logically speaking, he would definitely hide this secret, but he chose to reveal it in public.
Now he's come to settle scores with the old man in a menacing manner. Even Han Xi, an outsider, knows the seriousness of the situation and tries his best to stop him, but he doesn't stop him at all.
"Shen Jiheng, what tricks are you playing?"
Shen Jiheng shook his head and calmly said, "They must be tired from playing. It's good for them to rest."
Han Xi then realized that Shen Jiheng had lost his former fighting spirit. He used to be so arrogant, like a proud god.
Now, he seems to have seen through the illusions of the world and just wants to be an ordinary person.
Facing Han Xi's complicated gaze, Shen Jiheng revealed a calm smile.
“I’ve been to the high places before and stayed there for a long time, but to be honest, the experience wasn’t great. Now I think standing in this position is not bad.”
Han Xi finally understood his feelings, took his hand and smiled, "No matter where you stand, I will be by your side."
Bo Siye's lips twitched. If they hadn't switched places back then, he would have been the one to marry Han Xi.
Why should this person be able to take everything that belongs to him?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Have you finished showing off in front of me? You should take me inside to see him."
In the past, even when Bo Siye was very angry, he would never say such things. This incident has changed him a lot.
Han Xi still had some concerns, but Shen Jiheng gave her a reassuring look and led her inside.
As he approached the ward door, Bo Siyue's hurried steps suddenly slowed down, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
His last shred of reason reminded him that once he stepped through that door, there was no going back.
Han Xi noticed his wavering and seized the opportunity to say, "Si Ye, Grandpa Bo's health hasn't recovered yet. Why don't you come back in a couple of days? I promise I won't move him. You can come anytime."
He's capable of anything when he's angry, and Han Xi hopes he can calm down.
Bo Siye glanced at her. He understood Han Xi's intentions, but ultimately she was trying to help Shen Jiheng.
"unnecessary!"
After saying that, he quickened his pace and was the first to rush into the ward.
The old man was leaning against the headboard, his upper body arched, holding a pen and paper in his hand, struggling to write something.
Hearing footsteps, he slowly looked up and saw several people coming in. At the same time, the pen and paper in his hand fell to the ground.
Han Xi noticed that the name Bo Siye was written at the beginning, and there were two already written letters on the bedside table, addressed to Shen Jiheng.
Bo Siye walked over with bloodshot eyes and a heart full of anger.
“Even at a time like this, you still put him first. I’ve always been your pawn, haven’t I?”
Seeing the two letters filled with writing on the cabinet, and the few scribbles on the ground that started with "Si Ye," was the difference between the two of them really that big?
Grandpa Bo quickly shook his head, full of apology, and said, "No, Si Ye, I just don't know what to say. I've thought of a lot of things I want to say to you, but I don't know how to express them."
"And what about him? You know how to express it because you never treated me as your grandson, just as a tool."
Bo Siye spoke through gritted teeth. He truly hated all of this. Why did they steal his wonderful life and then return it to him in such a cruel way?
How can a relationship that's already riddled with holes be repaired?
The old man trembled as he reached out his hand, tears streaming down his face, and said, "I'm sorry, Si Ye. I know I was wrong. If I could do it all over again, I would never do such a thing. I'm so sorry. Do whatever you want with me, even if you want my life, I'll give it to you."
Shen Jiheng murmured, "If you give him your life, will you be able to change what happens?"
The old man turned to look at him, choking back tears, and said, "It's all my fault. I'll do anything to make you forgive me."
Bo Siye said, "Then you should return everything that belongs to me, everything from the Shen family, including Han Xi."
Unexpectedly, he included Han Xi in the list. Shen Jiheng scolded, "Don't push your luck. I'm willing to return the Shen family's things to you now. You should thank your God. How dare you still try to take advantage of Han Xi?"
You have to understand that if Shen Jiheng doesn't give it to him, even if Bo Siye is a member of the Shen family, he can't take away the empire that Shen Jiheng built.
However, Shen Jiheng had already figured it out: if the Shen family was willing to acknowledge Bo Siye, he was willing to step down, but Han Xi was his alone, and no one else could touch her.
“Why not? Han Xi was going to marry me in the first place. You two are already divorced. If the two families want to reunite through marriage, it will be me who will be in charge. It has nothing to do with you.”
Everyone could tell that Bo Siyue was deliberately making things difficult for them; he wanted to make a big fuss about this.
Shen Jiheng said, "Everything should have its limits. Just because I give in doesn't mean you'll take advantage of me."
"What right do you have to say such things? Everything you possess belongs to me."
"Don't keep saying I took what's yours. The Shen family fell into ruin ten years ago. It was I who found another way to bring them back to life."
Bo Siye said, "If I were in your position, I would do a better job than you. You just got a bargain."
These words were full of hostility, testing Shen Jiheng's patience. He only made this decision because he didn't want things to get worse and didn't want to hurt the Shen family any further.
He stepped forward and said coldly, "Bo Siyue, I don't want to have a pointless argument with you. I let you in because I sincerely want to resolve this matter."
Bo Siye faced him and asked, "Then tell me, how do you plan to resolve this?"
"I will return the assets under the Shen family's name to you. The technology products are developed by myself and have nothing to do with the Shen family." Han Xi was surprised that Shen Jiheng could make this concession.
