Chapter 84 Killing someone by destroying their spirit
Shen Jiheng thought Han Xi was just saying that in anger this morning, but he didn't expect her to be serious this time.
Moreover, his move immediately went viral and left him no room to maneuver.
"Go and negotiate with the law firm to get them to withdraw the lawsuit, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to them."
Qin Chuan said with difficulty, "President, have you ever thought about it? The problem isn't actually here."
Shen Jiheng's sharp gaze swept over him; was he not annoyed enough already?
Qin Chuan boldly said, "Even if the law firm withdraws the case, my wife will still find other ways. If it is submitted to the court, you will have to go to court, and the media will definitely make a fuss, which will bring a lot of negative impact to the company."
Shen Jiheng was so angry that he almost forgot that the root of the problem was Han Xi.
If this problem isn't solved, there will be more problems to come.
“You’re right, but she’s hostile towards me right now and doesn’t want to talk to me at all.”
Qin Chuan offered him advice, "The president has been living with his wife for three years, hasn't he figured out her personality yet?"
These words reminded Shen Jiheng that Han Xi was actually tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
As he was thinking of a solution, the phone rang again. Seeing that it was his mother calling, Shen Jiheng frowned.
Even a fool could guess that they must have seen the trending topic online and called to confront him.
Sure enough, when he answered the phone, he heard cursing coming from the receiver.
"Are you even of any use anymore? You can't even keep your wife."
Shen Jiheng was already angry, and hearing these words only fueled his anger.
“I am working on it.”
“I don’t think you can handle this well. Han Xi has already moved all her belongings away. Grandma has said that if you can’t keep her here, she’ll make you come back and punish you according to family rules.”
Should we use family discipline?
Shen Jiheng had a sudden inspiration, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Then let her prepare herself. I'll be punished when I get back tonight."
"...Are you stupid?!"
Madam Shen's words were meant as a threat, so why did he take it so seriously?
Shen Jiheng calmly replied, "Tell her exactly what I said, and she will understand what I mean."
Shen Jiheng hung up the phone and told her to figure out the meaning herself. This provided a ready-made way to get close to Han Xi.
Even just turning my head to see the words on the screen made me feel uneasy.
Does Han Xi really want to leave him that much?
Was it because he was utterly disappointed in her, or because of another man?
In her apartment, Han Xi quickly sorted out the legal contracts of several companies, hoping to finalize them as soon as possible so that she could end the cooperation and sever all ties with Shen Jiheng.
Just then, the phone on the table rang, and she glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number.
Han Xi answered the phone without much thought, and a clear laugh came from the receiver.
"Sister-in-law, I am Bai Xue."
Han Xi was taken aback. What a disappointment! Why would she call?
"Is there something you need?"
"Sister-in-law, I'm right downstairs from your apartment building. There are some things I'd like to talk to you about."
"I'm busy. If you need anything, talk to Shen Jiheng."
Han Xi already disliked her, so why should she bother with her now that she's come to see her uninvited?
Bai Xue said aggrievedly, "I know my sister-in-law doesn't like me, but I can only say these things to you. I'll only take up a few minutes of your time. If you don't come down, I'll keep waiting."
"Wait if you want."
“Since my sister-in-law is like this, I can only tell Grandma that my sister-in-law refuses to see me.”
This guy is really shameless; even Han Xi admires him.
"Okay, I'll come down right now."
She wanted to see what this top-tier green tea had to say.
Han Xi arrived at the lobby on the first floor and saw Bai Xue carrying a fruit basket, waving and greeting him with a big smile. Anyone unaware of the situation would think the two were very familiar with each other.
"I'm here. Speak quickly."
"Sister-in-law, I heard you two had a fight because of me, so I came here specifically to apologize."
Han Xi glanced at her and smiled faintly, "You're just a trigger, not the real reason we're arguing."
"That's good."
As Bai Xue spoke, she stepped forward to take Han Xi's arm, but Han Xi dodged her. She glared at her with distant eyes, reminding her to stay away.
Han Xi said impatiently, "If you came here just for this little thing, then I'm leaving."
Bai Xue quickly blocked her way, saying with difficulty, "Sister-in-law, wait a moment. Actually, I have something else to discuss with you. Brother Ji Heng can't bring himself to say it, so he wants me to talk to you about it."
What a joke! What could possibly be so embarrassing for him that he couldn't bring himself to talk about it? She was quite curious, though.
Bai Xue looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated, which made Han Xi anxious.
Seeing that she was getting impatient, Bai Xue finally spoke up: "Brother Ji Heng said that if you insist on getting a divorce, it's only if you cure Tongtong."
Han Xi stared at her with wide eyes, unable to believe her eyes.
The existence of Shen Tongtong is the biggest secret of the Shen family. She only found out about it by chance, and Shen Jiheng actually told her.
Judging from the smug smile on her face, she must have known everything, otherwise she wouldn't have said such a thing.
But didn't Shen Jiheng say that he would find another bone marrow donor and wouldn't let her donate again?
Now they're actually using this kind of thing to pressure her.
He wasn't unaware that donating bone marrow would mean aborting his child, but ultimately he cared more about his nephew than his own flesh and blood.
“Sister-in-law, although Brother Ji Heng doesn’t love you, he still cares about the child. As long as you stay by his side and give birth to the child, he will live with you from now on.”
"That's enough. Go back and tell him that my child is not to be touched, and as for his little nephew, there's nothing I can do to help him."
After saying this angrily, Han Xi turned and left. Shen Jiheng was too ruthless. He wanted to use this to force her to submit. No way.
Bai Xue couldn't help but laugh as she watched her angry departure. Seeing the rift between them widening, she believed it wouldn't last long before it came to an end.
She sent a message to Bo Siye, reminding him to comfort Han Xi's wounded heart at this time.
In the evening, Shen Jiheng returned to the old house, where Old Madam Shen had already prepared family discipline.
He sighed when he saw the several rulers on the table.
If it weren't for wanting to play the victim with Han Xi, he wouldn't have needed to come back and put on an act.
Since Han Xi is now completely unyielding, he's essentially taking a risk.
The old lady raised the ruler with a look of malice, which made Shen Jiheng frown repeatedly.
"Grandma, I'm your own grandson, please don't hit me too hard."
"If I'm not ruthless, how will my granddaughter-in-law feel sorry for me?"
Madam Shen added insult to injury: "Mom, you should stop now. Judging from Han Xi's performance, even if you beat her to death, it won't have much effect."
Shen Jiheng looked over coldly; his own mother truly knew what it meant to kill someone by destroying their spirit.
The old lady took the ruler and smacked his hand twice, saying angrily, "Boy, we've done everything we can. Whether you can win your wife back depends on your abilities."
Shen Jiheng nodded in pain. If he still couldn't defeat Han Xi after this, then all the beatings he had endured would have been for nothing.
That evening, Han Xi was packing his luggage when he heard the doorbell ring. He opened the door and immediately tried to close it when he saw Shen Jiheng, but Shen Jiheng was quick and reached out his hand, which got pinched in the process.
"ah!"
As Shen Jiheng screamed in agony, Han Xi quickly opened the door and angrily said when she saw his reddened hands, "Why did you put your hands in here? Don't you want to die?!"
Shen Jiheng's eyelids were scrunched up in pain, making him look both pitiful and funny.
