Chapter 513 Resolving Hatred
Han Xi's eyes reddened as she listened; this was the scene she most wanted to see.
Shen Jiheng was right; things were developing as she hoped, and even God was helping her.
Gu Hongyi added with a smile, "I told the bodyguard not to say anything, and we're very comfortable here. We wouldn't mind spending the rest of our lives here."
Ding Shan smiled and said, "I only have one idea. It would be even better if we could go down the mountain. The villagers nearby are very hospitable, and I have a lot of things I want to ask them for advice."
Before coming, Han Xi was worried that they would resent everyone and cause a scene, but none of that happened.
Moreover, it was tens of millions of times better than she had imagined.
Han Xi said sincerely, "Uncle, seeing you all like this makes me very happy. I came here to take you back."
Gu Hongyi and his wife looked at each other, appearing somewhat embarrassed.
Gu Hongyi thought they would be happy, but said, "There's too much backstabbing in the bustling city. Actually, your aunt and I are doing quite well here. Besides, I just started planting fruit trees."
Unexpectedly, Ding Shan also said, "My strawberry field is not even finished yet, and I feel very happy here. I have been married for decades and have never felt as comfortable as I do now."
This result was unexpected for Han Xi, but she was very gratified to see that the two of them had let go of the past and accepted each other again.
Gu Hongyi said earnestly, "I am very satisfied that you are willing to forgive us and take us back, but my husband and I have already agreed that we will live here from now on."
Han Xi hesitated, saying with concern, "Life here is tough, yet you refuse to leave."
Han Xi now understood why Gu Beichen dared not prepare too many things for them; he was worried that they would use them to escape.
If he were to witness the changes in his parents in person, he would never imagine it would be like this.
Ding Shan nodded: "Don't worry, I find this kind of life very interesting now."
Shen Jiheng stepped forward and said, "I also yearn for this kind of comfortable life. After I finish everything, I will bring Han Xi to stay here for a while."
Han Xi was full of surprise, never expecting that Shen Jiheng, who was in such a high position, would have such thoughts.
Gu Hongyi laughed and said, "That's great. We can take the children up the mountain to pick wild fruits. I heard from the villagers that there are also many mushrooms in the spring."
Han Xi walked up to him and said with relief, "Uncle, I'm really happy to see you like this, but I came here today for my brother."
Upon hearing Gu Beichen's name, the two of them stiffened slightly.
“Since you all left, Qianqian has also left. Now, my brother is the only one left to support the company. He is entertaining clients every day. When I saw him last night, he was so tired that he couldn’t even stand up.”
Shen Jiheng also said, "From what I understand, there are still some old-timers in the company who are not convinced by him, and there are even rumors that he imprisoned you to seize power. He is moving forward under tremendous pressure."
Gu Hongyi sighed: "Bei Chen used to only manage some small projects. Now that he is in charge of the entire group, he will definitely face a lot of questions."
Han Xi held his hand and said, "Uncle, let's forget the unpleasant things of the past and go home together. You can always leave your brother behind. Grandpa and Grandma didn't say it, but I know they really want you to come back."
Shen Jiheng also chimed in, "The simplicity and honesty you two possess are truly rare. I believe your family will become even more united in the future."
Their words shook Gu Hongyi and his wife, and Han Xi then took Ding Shan's hand.
“Aunt, please forgive me if I have offended you in the past. Please come back with us.”
Seeing that they had not yet made up their minds, Han Xi could only continue to persuade them.
“At least we’ll go back now to help him through this transition period. If you ever want to come back here in the future, I will absolutely not stop you. This is also the responsibility that you, as the head of the family, should fulfill.”
Shen Jiheng nodded: "I see that Grandma is in poor health, and you probably don't want to be by her side in her final days."
Han Xi grabbed their hands and pleaded again, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm begging you, please come back with me."
Gu Hongyi looked at Ding Shan, thought for a moment, and then nodded.
Ding Shan also said, "We can't let Bei Chen take over the group without proper authorization. You have to go back and help out."
Gu Hongyi nodded: "You're right. We'll come back after we've settled things in Chongqing."
Han Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; she was genuinely happy that the two of them had undergone such a change.
On the way back, Han Xi told the two of them some things about Bo Siye and warned them to be careful.
We may have to confront this person at any time, so we must prepare them mentally in advance.
Ding Shan took a deep breath and said, "I haven't explained to you clearly about the poisoning of the birthday cakes before; he was also involved."
Several people looked over at the same time, and Ding Shan frowned and said, "I didn't even tell your uncle about these things. It was Bo Siye who found me and told me that Ji Heng killed Hanxi, which made me hold a grudge."
Han Xi asked, puzzled, "You mean he also received a share of the birthday cakes that were delivered to the Shen family's old residence?"
Ding Shan nodded: "Yes, how could I possibly finish making so many birthday cakes? Bo Siye volunteered to help me. I did put poison in them, but I was afraid of hurting my own family, so I didn't put in too much."
Shen Jiheng said solemnly, "So, those who were severely poisoned ate the parts he sent over."
Ding Shan looked guilty; she didn't want to hide anything anymore and told everyone.
“He told me at the time that he was just going to teach them a lesson. I never thought he would be so ruthless as to actually want to poison the Shen family. Later, I found the sellers, and they told me that they were worried about causing deaths, so the poisons themselves wouldn’t kill anyone.”
These words sent a chill down everyone's spines. The implication was that if the poisons were safe, the Shen family would likely be dead.
Shen Jiheng wondered if Bo Siye felt uneasy after learning about these circumstances.
After all, these are his closest relatives.
Ding Shan took a deep breath and said, "At that time, everyone was at odds. I know that even if I told you, you might not believe me. I'm sorry for making things so bad."
Gu Hongyi rubbed her shoulders to comfort her: "It's alright, don't think about it so much, it's all in the past."
Han Xi knew Bo Siye was ruthless, but she never imagined he was this cruel; it was utterly outrageous.
He didn't even spare hundreds of people.
If she and her child had accidentally ingested it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Regardless, Ding Shan was trying to protect them at that time.
“If it weren’t for my aunt feeding us every day in advance, none of us would have been able to escape on the day of the birthday banquet.”
Shen Jiheng was also filled with lingering fear, but thankfully the tragedy did not occur.
Ding Shan said earnestly, "I know you are collecting evidence against Bo Siye, and I am willing to go to court."
Han Xi nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Aunt."
This is the warm family that Han Xi wants, and she must not let anyone destroy it.
They chatted all the way, and before they knew it, the car had driven back to their old family compound. Seeing their familiar home, tears welled up in their eyes.
