Chapter 448 More Friends, One Less Enemy
Shen Mingzhu knew that the most important thing right now was to seize power; otherwise, even if she had children in the future, she would achieve nothing and could not rely on charity.
Zhou Yiming used to constantly coax and deceive her, making her lose her senses.
After his death, Shen Mingzhu's thinking also changed.
She had already wavered about the child in her womb, and now that someone had brought it up, it actually suited her wishes.
She looked at Bo Siyue and smiled, "I'm so happy you're my brother, we're sure to win."
Bo Siyue nodded: "You're right, we will definitely win. Next, you will be in charge of disrupting his relationship with the Shen family. As long as you can get Mom to completely side with you, then we will have victory in our grasp."
Shen Mingzhu nodded resolutely: "I know what to do. Just wait for my good news."
Bo Siye took out a black card from his bag and gave it to her.
"This is a gift from your brother to you when we first meet, and it's also a token of my sincerity. I hope that we, as siblings, will be of one mind from now on."
Bo Siye needs to give her the treatment she never received even from Shen Jiheng before she will wholeheartedly serve her.
Shen Mingzhu nodded excitedly: "Thank you, brother. I won't let you down."
Seeing her happy expression, Bo Siyue's lips also curled into a smile.
It is said that there is nothing in this world that money cannot buy, but he has so much, yet he still cannot get the person he wants.
Han Xi accompanied Shen Jiheng in the office to handle documents. There had been a lot going on lately, and both of them were feeling a bit depressed. Being together made them feel a little more relaxed.
With his eyes glued to the documents, Shen Jiheng asked casually, "I heard you recently had Han Yue take over Han Shu Group's business again. Aren't you afraid he'll cause trouble again?"
Han Xi is currently feeling somewhat overwhelmed with company affairs, so she has decided to delegate some tasks to Han Yue.
She replied confidently, "If I could take the company back from him once, I can do it again. And he's very proactive right now, so of course I'll give him that chance."
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "It seems you have a much different opinion of him."
Han Xi nodded: "People, as long as they are willing to change for the better, are still worth giving a chance. What he is doing now makes me very satisfied."
Recently, Han Yue has been spending time with the children whenever he has free time. Even Han Yuxuan and his sister enjoy playing with him, so Han Xi has naturally let go of her prejudices.
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "That's not bad either. It's better to have more friends than enemies."
Han Xi walked around behind him and put her arm around his shoulder, saying calmly, "I've figured out a lot of things recently. I just hope that everyone around me is safe and sound, and I don't want to resent anyone anymore."
Shen Jiheng understood what she meant and gently patted her hand.
"Don't worry too much, things will always be resolved. Once everything has calmed down, we'll take the whole family on a trip like we did last time."
Han Xi said happily, "That would be great. If they knew, they would start to worry about it."
Just as she finished speaking, the phone rang. Seeing that it was Gu Beichen calling, she quickly answered it.
"Han Xi, are you still with Ji Heng?" Gu Beichen's voice sounded somewhat anxious.
Han Xi and Shen Jiheng exchanged a glance, a bad feeling creeping into their hearts.
"We're together, so what?"
“Qianqian has been throwing a tantrum for some reason, and she said she wants to go back to her hometown. I had no choice but to call you.”
Could it be that Bo Siye did something again?
"I'll be right back to check on her. If she's in a bad mood, don't bother her. Let her have some peace and quiet."
Zhuo Qingqian is proud by nature and definitely doesn't want her beloved to know these bad things.
Trying to escape these things now seems like an attempt to avoid the pressure.
"I'll listen to you, then come back quickly."
Gu Beichen only sought her out because he had no other choice. He and Zhuo Qingqian had finally gotten to where they were today, and they really couldn't afford any more mishaps.
After hanging up the phone, Han Xi said heavily, "I have to rush back to be with Qianqian; her emotions are unstable right now."
Shen Jiheng nodded: "I'll take you back."
"No need. You have a lot of things to do and you're busy looking for Assistant Qin. Leng Yu is waiting for me in the lounge. You can rest assured with her by my side."
Now that Bo Siye wouldn't target her alone, Shen Jiheng was relatively relieved.
"Okay, let me know if anything happens."
Han Xi smiled and nodded. She didn't want Shen Jiheng to see her off, because she had other things to do.
She knew that Shen Jiheng didn't want him to contact the law firm, but Han Xi still wanted to figure out why Li Hai had put Zhuo Qingqian in the water back then.
Li Hai was once their most respected leader, and their law firm had always existed in Chongqing in the name of justice, never taking cases that violated their conscience or morality.
But in the end, he still failed to stay true to himself.
Han Xi had no objection to his changes, but he shouldn't have dragged the innocent Zhuo Qingqian down with him.
After getting in the car, Han Xi said, "Xiao Yu, we're not going back for now. I need to go to Haiyang Law Firm."
Leng Yu glanced at her curiously. When Shen Jiheng saw them off earlier, he had told her to make sure Han Xi got home safely.
"The president probably doesn't know you're going to this place."
Han Xi smiled and said, "He really doesn't know. I'll report to him after I go there."
Leng Yu looked a little worried, but Han Xi said, "It's okay, I'm just going to see a friend, it'll be over soon."
Hearing this, Leng Yu nodded, after all, she had just lost a good friend and was afraid of another accident.
No one knew about Qin Chuan's situation except for the two of them; the more people who knew, the more dangerous it would be.
Arriving at the law firm, Han Xi felt none of the awe she once had; instead, she felt the place was somewhat dirty.
Since Li Hai is capable of such acts, he might do even more behind the scenes, but they are simply unaware of it.
Han Xi was a former employee of the law firm, and she easily arrived at the door of Li Hai's office.
She stood at the door watching as Li Hai patiently taught his subordinates how to do things. It was his sincerity and sense of justice that made Han Xi want to stay in this position.
Li Hai sensed the gaze at the door, turned his head, and saw Han Xi, giving him a happy smile.
"You can go and do as I just said. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me." Li Hai sent the employees away first.
He strode to the door and warmly gestured for them to enter.
"Han Xi, what a rare guest! What brings you here to see me today?"
Han Xi followed him inside. Li Hai's office was filled with all sorts of books. He himself was indeed very talented and was a well-known high achiever.
"Mr. Li, I apologize for the sudden visit."
Li Hai personally poured her a glass of water and said with a smile, "How could it be a bother? You are the talent I value most. Although we can no longer work together in the future, I am happy to be your friend."
"I was truly grateful for your guidance back then, which enabled me to become a qualified lawyer." Han Xi was genuinely thankful for this.
Li Hai waved his hand: "These are things a leader should do, you don't need to take them to heart."
Seeing this smiling face, Han Xi realized how foolish she had been to believe that these were all good people.
Whether it's Bo Siye or a respected superior, they all wear masks of hypocrisy.
