Chapter 462 An Indescribable Sense of Distance
Is this really a good thing for Shen Jiheng? Han Xi felt an indescribable sense of distance.
She thought for a moment and asked, "Are you planning to start with Li Hai?"
The smile on Shen Jiheng's face gradually disappeared, and he calmly said, "He is the source of this incident, so it's best to let him do this."
Han Xi had worked under Li Hai before and knew how ruthless this man was and how many connections he had. If they fell out, it wouldn't do them any good.
"He's not someone to be trifled with."
"I have my own way."
"Ji Heng, don't make a big fuss, it will make us enemies."
Shen Jiheng looked impatient and frowned, saying, "In the past, I was controlled by others because I had too many concerns. I've already told you not to interfere. I will handle these matters."
After he finished speaking, he noticed that Han Xi was stunned, so he quickly apologized, rubbing her shoulder and saying, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say what you said, but since things have come to this point, only hard-line methods can solve the problem."
Perhaps she was meddling too much; she should have completely trusted Shen Jiheng's abilities.
"Alright, then I'll leave it to you to handle."
"If you feel bored, you can go back to Hanshu Group, or stay home with your children."
The implication is that we should not interfere in his affairs from now on, and let him do things his own way.
Han Xi nodded slightly. If he could handle things better without her getting involved, then she would withdraw.
"I understand. I'll go back home to be with Qianqian. She needs someone to comfort her right now."
"I send you."
As Shen Jiheng spoke, he took her hand. Han Xi felt the familiar warmth, yet there was an indescribable sense of unfamiliarity.
The two remained silent in the car. Han Xi gazed out the window at the bustling streets and surging crowds, but it didn't seem to be the life she wanted to pursue.
She now prefers to stay in a quiet place with her children and live a simple, ordinary life.
However, Shen Jiheng is in a high-end position, so his ideas are definitely different from hers.
Shen Jiheng naturally noticed her difference, but some things required ruthlessness. They had no way out in their current situation, and being soft-hearted would only bring trouble upon themselves.
The car stopped in front of the Gu family's house, and Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "Don't overthink it, leave it to me."
Han Xi nodded: "Be careful."
Whatever Shen Jiheng wants to do, he has his reasons, and Han Xi doesn't want to get too involved to avoid affecting his plans.
Back inside, Han Xi saw Zhuo Qingqian playing Go with Old Madam Gu and quickly went over to her.
"You two are really enjoying yourselves today. I've never seen you play chess before."
Grandma Gu smiled and said, "Qianqian is in a good mood, so let me play a couple of rounds with her."
Is Qianqian in a good mood?
Han Xi immediately looked over, and Zhuo Qingqian smiled happily and reached out to pull her over.
"Xi Xi, Grandma has captured most of my pieces. Can you help me figure out what my next move should be?"
What's going on? Zhuo Qingqian was frowning before Han Xi left, why is she suddenly so happy now? Could it be that the matter has been resolved?
Han Xi pulled her arm and said with a smile, "Grandma, I need to borrow your granddaughter-in-law for a bit. I'll say a few words to her and then return her to you soon."
Grandma Gu was amused by her and waved her hand, saying, "Go ahead, no rush. I still need to think about how to beat her later."
Han Xi smiled and nodded, helping Zhuo Qingqian to the side, and asked in a low voice, "Qianqian, what's wrong? You seem to be alright now."
Zhuo Qingqian seemed quite curious after hearing what she said.
"Don't you know? It wasn't you who helped me settle this matter."
Han Xi shook his head and murmured, "Ji Heng said he would step in to resolve this, but he didn't tell me exactly what he would do."
Zhuo Qingqian said, "Li Hai has already turned himself in and taken all the blame. I really didn't expect things to be resolved so easily. President Shen is really capable."
Han Xi hadn't expected Li Hai to turn himself in. He knew the seriousness of the matter; turning himself in not only meant going to jail, but it would also implicate other people in the law firm.
The implications are far-reaching, and Li Hai will not make this decision lightly.
But why did he still do it?
“Xi Xi, Zhang Ke also told me that almost everyone from the law firm went to Tianxiang, and they accepted everyone who was willing to go.”
"Tianxiang? Ji Heng's investment law firm, so he had all this planned all along."
Before dealing with Li Hai, Shen Jiheng also made sure everyone else was settled, which was indeed a good thing.
"I'm happy that the matter was resolved perfectly. Thank you for stepping in; otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to do."
"It's good that you're alright, you can relax now."
Why did Han Xi feel uneasy? Shen Jiheng had dealt with the troubles Zhuo Qingqian was facing, and Bo Siye had no leverage to threaten her. In this way, he was still the winner.
As expected, there's nothing Shen Jiheng can't do when he takes action.
But what is the process in between?
Since Shen Jiheng told her not to overthink it, Han Xi didn't want to consider it anymore. She believed that he had done his part and was capable of resolving the issue.
"Let's go play chess with Grandma. We didn't realize she was such a good player. Even if we all joined forces, we might not be her match."
Han Xi nodded, not wanting to spoil her mood since she was so happy.
The next day~
Shen Jiheng called early in the morning, saying that Mr. Bo was in good spirits today and that they could arrange for the two old men to meet.
Han Xi rushed to the old house and personally accompanied the old lady there.
The old lady was somewhat uneasy in the car; she clenched her hands tightly, and her face showed some resentment.
"Grandma, Ji Heng is waiting for us over there. Don't get too excited when you see Grandpa Bo later."
The old woman gritted her teeth and said, "I just want to ask him why he is so heartless, now that the descendants of both families cannot be recognized as ancestors."
Bo Siye had a heated argument with them yesterday and was kicked out on the spot, so their relationship can be considered broken.
As for Shen Jiheng, he couldn't just accept the Bo family like that.
Because of Mr. Bo's decision back then, the two families are now in this predicament.
"Grandma, if Bo Siye can let go of all his hatred, would you still forgive him and accept him back?"
The old lady angrily slapped her thigh.
“No, this person is wicked, treacherous and cunning. If he stays at home, he will cause trouble. This time he almost killed Mingzhu and also killed an unborn child. I can never forgive such a person to stay by our side.”
Han Xi frowned slightly. What would happen if they found out that Shen Jiheng was scheming behind the scenes?
The old lady grabbed her hand and said, "Han Xi, you must not be soft-hearted towards this kind of person. A person who dares to lay a hand on his family has no heart. Stay away from him."
This is why Shen Jiheng did this. He knew the Shen family's bottom line and wanted Bo Siye to cross it, so that there would be no turning back.
"Grandma, you're right. Be careful of this kind of person."
Both of them were preoccupied, and neither of them spoke again.
When they arrived at their destination, Han Xi helped her out of the car, where Shen Jiheng was already waiting at the door.
Shen Jiheng stepped forward and said with a smile, "When the old man knew you were coming, he specially asked the caregiver to change his clothes and also had tea prepared."
