Chapter 65 This kind of person is truly rare.
Han Xi didn't believe he was there to cultivate any feelings; just looking at his cunning expression, she knew something must have happened.
However, the fact that it could make this sharp-tongued person unable to say it must mean it's something special.
Han Xi prepared some fruit platters and placed them on the coffee table, intending to have a heartfelt conversation with him.
"Shen Jiheng, just tell me what's wrong. Your behavior is making me uneasy. Don't worry, whatever it is, I'll discuss it with you properly."
Shen Jiheng picked up a piece of apple, put it in his mouth, and said with satisfaction, "Crispy and sweet, tastes good."
"Don't change the subject."
Han Xi wished she could crawl inside his stomach to see what was hidden there.
Shen Jiheng stretched and yawned.
"I'm a little sleepy today, so I'm going to sleep now. Remember to wake me up when you get up tomorrow morning."
"Hello......"
Ignoring Han Xi's surprised expression, Shen Jiheng walked to the bedside and fell asleep immediately.
Han Xi rushed forward to try to drag him down, but Shen Jiheng was like a boulder today, impossible to move.
"Stop pretending to be asleep, get up and go back now."
"Shen Jiheng, did you hear me? Don't force me to use my ultimate move."
No matter how Han Xi called him, he was determined not to respond. She was so angry that she hit his head with a pillow, but he still didn't react. It seemed that he was deliberately staying here.
Forget it, Han Xi was too lazy to argue with him. She took a spare blanket from the closet and slept on the sofa for the night.
The next morning, Han Xi made a simple breakfast, and Shen Jiheng, smelling the aroma, quickly got up.
"It's been so long since I've had breakfast that you prepared especially for me. It tastes so good."
"You've got it wrong. This is for myself. If you want to eat, go home. There's no one here to serve you."
"I'll share half of your fried egg with you."
Han Xi slammed her hand on the table and said sternly, "You'll have plenty of fish and meat at your villa. If you keep loitering in my apartment, you'll only starve. I'm busy and don't have time to mess around with you. Don't let me see you again tonight."
Shen Jiheng rubbed his forehead. It seemed that lowering his stance to get closer to her wouldn't be very useful. Han Xi looked weak on the outside, but she was more ruthless than anyone else on the inside.
"I'll be near your law firm at noon to discuss some business. To repay you for letting me stay overnight, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Judging from his expression, he hadn't listened to a word I said.
Han Xi took a breath and immediately uttered harsh words.
"Don't you understand? I just don't want to be with you."
Shen Jiheng smiled and said, "But I know I've done a lot of things to wrong you in the past, and now I want to make amends. You can make any requests you have."
Han Xi shook his head and pointed to the door, saying, "My only request is that you stay away from me and never step into this place again."
Shen Jiheng was immune to these words and didn't react much. In the past, he would have definitely had a big argument with Han Xi.
The most important reason was his real purpose in staying here: he wanted Han Xi's help.
"Don't be so irritable so early in the morning. I'll contact you again after I make a reservation for lunch. Breakfast is good, have some. I'm leaving now."
After Shen Jiheng finished speaking, he shrugged and turned around. Looking at his departing figure, there was a hint of desolation in his eyes, and Han Xi felt a strange feeling in her heart.
He knew perfectly well that he didn't like him, so why did he go to such lengths?
Just as Shen Jiheng stepped out of the apartment building, the doctor sent him another message, informing him that Shen Tongtong had fainted again. He had to rush over immediately; it seemed he needed to hurry with the plan.
When Han Xi arrived at the law firm, Zhuo Qingqian rushed forward, grabbed her, and led her towards the stairs.
Han Xi looked completely bewildered and asked, "Qianqian, what are you doing? It's like there's a monster in the law firm."
Zhuo Qingqian nodded: "There are no monsters, but there are things more terrifying than monsters. Shen Mingzhu is here. You told me before that she was not easy to deal with. She was crying and making a scene in your office."
Han Xi recalled encountering Shen Jiheng at her company a couple of days ago, where she appeared furious, which likely had something to do with Zhou Yiming again.
"Xi Xi, I think you should avoid this place for now. If it really comes down to it, call Shen Jiheng and have him pick her up."
Han Xi really didn't want to deal with this kind of person.
“I have a new case to handle today. I’ll call Shen Jiheng now and have him come pick me up.”
"I'll go take care of things now. Message me if you need anything."
Han Xi patted her face, thankful that she had informed them in time, otherwise it would have been troublesome if they had gone in and been entangled by Shen Mingzhu.
However, Shen Jiheng did not answer the phone, and she sent several messages but received no reply. She wondered what he was busy with so early in the morning.
Han Xi waited on the stairs for half an hour, and when she asked Zhuo Qingqian's office, the people there hadn't left yet. Considering that it was almost time for her meeting with the client, she had no choice but to go back.
Sometimes I feel that the stubbornness of the brother and sister is really similar. They are never afraid of causing trouble for others, as if everyone in the world owes the Shen family something.
As soon as Han Xi entered the office, Shen Mingzhu ran over to her as if she were a savior.
"Sister-in-law, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for so long."
Han Xi hadn't forgotten how she treated him that day, so now that she needed his help, she changed her attitude.
"What brings you here?"
"Sister-in-law, you must help me. My brother is so mean. He froze my account and won't let my family give me any money. He's forcing me to go to work."
Han Xi frowned, not finding anything wrong with what she said. She was the same age as Han Xi and should have entered the workforce long ago.
Han Xi asked curiously, "Shouldn't you go to work and earn money?"
"Of course I'll go, but he suddenly cut off funding, and I have no capital left. Yiming isn't even talking to me anymore. If this continues, I'll go crazy."
Han Xi rubbed his forehead, trying to remain calm.
“Mingzhu, I remember your brother’s company provides three meals a day for its employees. Since you have a degree, you can start as an intern. You can commute with him, so you won’t need any expenses, and you’ll start earning money after a month.”
Shen Mingzhu was displeased upon hearing this and said, "How can this be? The food in the cafeteria is too rough. How can it be worthy of my status? Besides, I don't like being constrained. I want to start my own business."
Han Xi could roughly figure out why Shen Jiheng would be so ruthless, but it was troublesome that she had come to him.
“Your idea is good, go discuss it with your brother. I can’t make the decision.” Han Xi threw the question back to Shen Jiheng.
Shen Mingzhu cried, feeling wronged, "I want to too, but my brother ignores me. Now only my sister-in-law can speak up for me."
Han Xi said helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. You should know that I'm preparing for a divorce with your brother. Our relationship has broken down, and he won't listen to me."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingzhu sighed and changed the subject.
“I’ve heard about this too. If you get divorced, can you give me half of the assets you receive as an investment? I’ll definitely pay you back double when I make money in the future.”
Han Xi had seen many shameless people when he was a lawyer, but someone as rare as Shen Mingzhu was truly uncommon.
I wonder if Shen Jiheng would be furious if he heard his own sister say these words, as it would completely ruin his reputation.
