Chapter 70 Each one more formidable than the last.
Shen Jiheng already hated Gu Hanxi for her deception, but to make matters worse, he didn't even know that she was hurting Han Xi behind his back. This was an even greater crime and could not be forgiven.
Considering her past relationship with Gu Beichen, and now that she knows this person is causing trouble behind her back, it seems she needs to have a talk with him.
"You invite Gu Beichen over. If he refuses, have someone kidnap him and bring him here."
"The president suspects that he was behind this."
"There's no one else but him."
If Gu Beichen hands the person over, all will be well. But if he continues to cover it up, Shen Jiheng will make him pay.
Qin Chuan immediately contacted someone, while Shen Jiheng opened his computer to look up ways to soothe the pregnant woman's emotions.
Judging from Han Xi's reaction today, he probably has no choice but to apologize and apologize to appease her.
Han Xi slept until the afternoon after returning from the hospital in the morning. She hadn't slept at all last night and was still recovering.
She sat up, feeling dizzy, and was about to get out of bed when she heard the door open.
In an instant, she was wide awake, staring intently at the doorway.
Shen Jiheng was carrying large bags and holding a bouquet of flowers in his arm. He was taken aback when he saw Han Xi staring at him.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? I asked Aunt Wang to make some chicken soup and also bought some fruit."
Shen Jiheng talked to himself, put the things on the table, and then took the flowers to the bedside.
"I heard you like lisianthus. Looking at flowers is good for your mood."
After he finished speaking, he handed it over, but Han Xi did not seem inclined to take it.
Han Xi took a deep breath and said unhappily, "Didn't I warn you not to come here without permission?"
"You blocked my number. If I want to see you, I have to come here."
"You can't understand human language, can you? I'm doing all this because I don't want to see you."
Han Xi felt that communicating with him was really difficult now; was this person genuinely stupid or just pretending?
Shen Jiheng automatically ignores topics he doesn't want to answer.
"Grandma wants me to take you back to the old house. You know how difficult they are to deal with. If you don't agree, they will definitely come to your aid themselves, and you won't be able to shake them off."
Han Xi was amused by his words, "You really have the nerve to say that. Every member of your Shen family is more capable than the last."
Shen Jiheng sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to help her tidy her stray hairs, but Han Xi dodged him.
"I have something else to tell you, and I also want to apologize to you."
Han Xi spread his arms and said with a sneer, "If you want to apologize, I can't even count them on my ten fingers. Which one are you referring to?"
Shen Jiheng frowned slightly. Han Xi was quite hostile towards him now, making communication somewhat difficult.
If you want to coax someone back, you must pay attention to your attitude.
"I have given the Gu family an ultimatum, demanding that they hand over Gu Hanxi by noon tomorrow."
"You're really persistent in pursuing her."
"You don't need to mock me. Qin Chuan found out today that the two thugs who tried to kidnap you on the day of her kidnapping were arranged by her."
Han Xi was stunned when he heard this. He thought he was just unlucky to have met a bad person, but he never expected that it was also related to this vicious woman.
Shen Jiheng continued, "She's currently being hidden by Gu Beichen. I've asked Qin Chuan to look for her; we'll have news soon."
Han Xi was furious. Gu Hanxi had harmed her time and time again, and now she was shamelessly trying to ruin her reputation.
"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."
“You and Gu Beichen aren’t friends, so why don’t you cover for him?”
Shen Jiheng replied firmly, "I will never cover it up. After I send her to prison, you can come back with me, okay?"
Han Xi shook his head: "This is what you should do. Don't try to use this to negotiate with me."
"Then I will give you all the shares as previously agreed, and I will also hand over all the shares of Han Shu Group to you within a month. Will that make you feel better?"
Han Xi stared at him in astonishment, not expecting Shen Jiheng to be so sincere this time.
"What are you doing all this for?"
I want you to have a good pregnancy.
These words touched Han Xi. He had thought that Han Xi was trying to please him just to save his nephew, but he didn't expect that Han Xi was willing to keep the child.
"What about your nephew's illness?"
“I have already communicated with Professor Yang and we are now searching for bone marrow nationwide, no matter how much it costs.”
So he wanted to keep the child, which shows he still had feelings for her.
Just as Han Xi felt a warmth in her heart, she heard him say again, "Pack your things and come back to the old house with me later. If you don't go back, Grandma won't let me off the hook."
Han Xi's resentful gaze shifted to him, and she said softly, "So you did all this just to appease them. That phone call at the Civil Affairs Bureau was from Grandma."
Shen Jiheng nodded, unaware of the change in her expression.
“The hospital you went to for the checkup happened to be owned by Grandma’s friend. He had seen you before but didn’t recognize you at the time. Then he called Grandma to confirm that it was you.”
Han Xi was truly at her wit's end. She had intended to avoid the Shen family's influence, but unexpectedly, she ran right into them.
Han Xi pointed to the door: "Get out, I don't want to see you."
Shen Jiheng was confused. Just now, she clearly saw that her expression had softened, so why did she turn on him again in the blink of an eye?
"Han Xi, I've gone to such lengths, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
"I told you to leave, didn't you hear me?"
Shen Jiheng suppressed his anger. He hadn't forgotten that he came today to appease her, and arguing would only make things worse.
He nodded and stood up.
"Okay, I'm leaving. Remember to drink the chicken soup. Let me know when you want to come back."
Han Xi turned his head without responding, and when he reached the door, he said again, "Leave the key here. From now on, you are not allowed to come in without my permission."
Shen Jiheng had prepared himself mentally before coming, and he had also read online guides. He knew that when a pregnant woman was in a bad mood, he should be very accommodating to her.
Despite being extremely unwilling, I still took the key out and put it on the cabinet.
"Put your things here and get some rest."
After he left, Han Xi quickly locked the door from the inside, afraid that the man would come in again.
When will Shen Jiheng truly care about her, instead of focusing on external factors?
Shen Jiheng returned to the villa, where the two elders of the Shen family were sitting in the living room.
Grandma Shen glared at him with a stern expression, her eyes clearly wanting to hit him.
Madam Shen also looked stern, clearly very dissatisfied with what he had done.
"Where is my granddaughter-in-law? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Shen Jiheng sighed. He hadn't told Han Xi about moving out yet, but judging from their expressions, they probably already knew.
Madam Shen also scolded, "You're becoming more and more outrageous. If we hadn't come to your door in person, we wouldn't have known you'd done so many absurd things. No wonder you didn't tell us Han Xi was pregnant. You deserve it."
Shen Jiheng: "......"
As expected of a mother, she knows exactly what to say to hurt feelings.
“Shen Jiheng, listen to me. I don’t care what method you use, you must bring Han Xi back to the old house, or I’ll make you regret it.”
"You've been having too much fun lately, haven't you? Don't forget that your grandma and I still have shares in Shen's Group. Recently, several of your uncles have wanted to buy them at a high price. If I didn't have a grandson, I wouldn't care about you, you unfilial son."
Shen Jiheng had a headache. What kind of spell Han Xi had cast on them that made them all speak up for her?
