Chapter 434 The habit of eavesdropping needs to be corrected
If Madam Shen had to choose between the father and son, she would choose Shen Jiheng without hesitation.
Even though she and Shen Jiheng were not related by blood, they had spent thirty years together, which surpassed the bond of blood.
A husband who doesn't love her abandoned her ten years ago and tries every means to force her, never taking her seriously.
Madam Shen clenched her hands anxiously and asked nervously, "Ji Heng, could you talk to the dean and ask him not to wake up, even if it's just to wait until this period of time has passed? You know what I mean, right?"
Madam Shen is having trouble controlling the current situation. If he wakes up, trouble will surely arise again.
Shen Jiheng was somewhat embarrassed. Han Xi thought for a moment and said, "Auntie's concerns are not unreasonable. Given Uncle's personality, he will definitely make a fuss."
Madam Shen continued, "I know you find this difficult, but I can handle this matter; you don't need to get involved."
Hengtian is a business owned by the Shen family, so Madam Shen naturally has a say in it.
However, no sooner had Madam Shen finished speaking than a dissenting voice came from around the corner: "Mom, aren't you going a bit too far?"
The three turned around and saw Bo Siye walking out. It was clear that he had been hiding around the corner and had overheard their conversation.
Shen Jiheng said, "When are you going to get rid of this habit of eavesdropping?"
Bo Siye glanced at him and stepped forward, looking at Madam Shen and saying, "Mom, I finally found my family. Now Dad is showing signs of waking up, and our family can be reunited. This is wonderful news."
“But you know his personality, and considering what you did to him before, I’m worried he won’t let you off the hook.”
He was not only worried that Shen Qingzhou would deal with him, but also that he would not let Shen Jiheng go once he woke up.
Bo Siye said calmly, "I believe he will change. After all, someone who has been through the ordeal of death will surely have come to understand many things. I am confident that I can change him."
These words were even more chilling, as Madam Shen couldn't see through what he was thinking at all.
Bo Siye walked to the middle of the three and stared at Shen Jiheng, saying, "It seems that the misunderstanding between the two of you has been cleared up."
"How could your little tricks affect us?" Han Xi felt that this person was currently in a state of madness and was capable of doing anything.
Seeing that the three of them looked unwell, Madam Shen asked worriedly, "What happened?"
Shen Jiheng said, "Mom, don't worry. We're just curious about his behavior. I heard you're planning to announce his identity publicly, and I even prepared a congratulatory gift."
These words put Madam Shen under some psychological burden. Acknowledging Bo Siye's identity would undoubtedly create distance between her and Shen Jiheng.
She chose to keep it a secret because she was worried that Shen Jiheng would be upset.
Of course, knowing Shen Jiheng as she did, she knew he must know these things, but they were just tacitly aware of it.
Bo Siye generously said, "This was originally the plan, but after thinking about it, I decided against it. I don't want to put Grandma and Mom in a difficult position. I want to try to be family with you."
These words are more frightening than his bad deeds; it's as clear as day that he has no intentions.
This trick might fool Madam Shen, but it won't fool Shen Jiheng.
He knew all too well the hatred this man harbored for him; Bo Siye would not give up until he lost everything.
Madam Shen chimed in, "Ji Heng, that's true. Si Ye talked to us and decided not to reveal his identity. He wants to come back first and build relationships with everyone."
This sounds like a good thing at first glance, showing that Bo Siye is magnanimous and has no desire to fight.
But winning people's hearts is the most terrifying thing.
Once he wins over the Shen family, he will surely deliver a fatal blow to Shen Jiheng.
Seeing the relieved expression on Madam Shen's face, Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "So this is a good thing."
Han Xi tugged at his sleeve; she could sense Bo Siye's intentions, and Shen Jiheng certainly understood as well.
Madam Shen said happily, "If you two can get along well, then I will have two sons. This is a wonderful thing that I never dared to dream of."
Shen Jiheng nodded with a smile, glanced at Han Xi, and the two exchanged glances, understanding each other's thoughts.
Madam Shen is now at a loss as to how to deal with the two of them. Although she is fully aware of some things, she is unable to make the choice she wants.
Bo Siye smiled and said, "As long as he can forgive and forget, I am willing to put aside everything from the past and live together peacefully."
That sounds nice, but he threatened Han Xi last night and is now saying they'll let bygones be bygones. He has no good intentions at all.
However, Madam Shen was comforted to hear these words, as they were exactly what she had in mind.
Madam Shen cast an expectant glance at Shen Jiheng, who nodded: "Of course, if our two families join forces again, Chongqing will be our territory."
Shen Jiheng simply raised the stakes, agreeing to play along no matter how Bo Siye wanted to.
Upon hearing this, Madam Shen clapped her hands with joy and excitedly grasped the two men, saying, "I am truly happy to see that you have been able to let go of your hatred. You are both my sons."
Bo Siye smiled and extended his hand to Shen Jiheng, saying, "Please guide me in the future."
Shen Jiheng reached out his hand, and the two secretly competed as they clasped hands, using this method to remind each other to be more careful in the future.
As the saying goes, an outsider's perspective is clearer. Han Xi frowned as he observed that this way of interacting was actually more dangerous.
If Shen Jiheng does anything in the future, he will be the one disrupting the peace, and they will have to be even more careful in the future.
Shen Jiheng responded with a smile: "Don't worry, of course I will guide you."
Bo Siye nodded in agreement: "Then I'll wait and see."
Madam Shen was overjoyed and shed tears. She really didn't want to lose either of them. If the two could truly put aside their hatred and become brothers, she would treat them equally.
Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Madam Shen brought up the topic again.
“You all know what kind of person your father is. He is a vengeful man who will not let even his own flesh and blood go unpunished.”
The two exchanged a glance, both fully aware of the situation.
“You all have a grudge against him in the past. If he wakes up, he will definitely not let it go. To avoid such trouble, it is better to let him continue to sleep.”
Shen Jiheng had no objection to this; it was probably an internal matter for the Shen family, and he didn't want to get involved.
However, Bo Siye raised an objection, just as he had said at the beginning.
“Mom, I don’t approve of what you’ve done. And ever since I found out about my origins, I’ve felt remorseful and guilty about what I did to him. I want to apologize to him.”
Madam Shen frowned and said, "Your idea is good, but he won't let you go once he wakes up."
Bo Siye said confidently, "I believe he can let go of hatred like Ji Heng and I have. Besides, he is my father. I really can't bear to see him lying like this. Can you understand how I feel?"
Madam Shen leaned against the wall, feeling deflated. She had tried her best to get through those chaotic days, but she really didn't want to continue.
Bo Siye added, "He has no power now, and even if he wakes up, he won't pose a threat to us. Besides, there are two of us, so we can handle it."
