Chapter 87 Inviting You to the Farewell Dinner
Han Xi believed that Gu Beichen wasn't after the formula she had; she was simply numb to the matter of finding relatives.
She has too many things to do now. She needs to collect evidence to sue those who deliberately defamed her, and she is also busy with her divorce case with Shen Jiheng.
Grandma Gu said almost pleadingly, "Beichen, since she's busy, please give us her phone number and address, and we'll go find her ourselves."
If it were anyone else, Gu Beichen would never dare to give out Han Xi's contact information so easily. But these were his loving grandparents, so he had no choice but to give them Han Xi's contact information. If any problems arise in the future, he will take full responsibility.
Grandma Gu didn't delay and called her husband to set off. They couldn't rest easy until they figured out the matter.
Han Xi was still organizing documents at the law firm when she heard the receptionist say that someone was looking for her. Curious, she went out and saw two elderly people staring at her with wide eyes and excitement. The old lady had already started wiping away tears.
"Yes...it's my Shushu, I'm sure of it."
Han Xi stepped forward politely and asked, "Are you two the ones who came to see me? Do you need legal advice, or do you have a case you'd like to entrust to me?"
Grandma Gu grabbed her hand and choked up, saying, "Child, you really look exactly like my daughter. I am Gu Beichen's grandmother, and you may also be your maternal grandmother."
The old man's eyes filled with tears: "Child, we've finally found you."
Han Xi remembered that Gu Beichen had indeed told her about this half an hour ago. She thought it was just a casual remark, but she didn't expect him to come knocking on her door.
The old man also took out a photo from his pocket and handed it over, saying excitedly, "Han Xi, the person in this photo is my daughter. She went missing when she was nine years old. Look, she really looks like you."
Hearing what he said, Han Xi became curious. She turned her head and looked, and the person in the photo did indeed resemble her and her daughter somewhat. No wonder they mistook them.
But she had heard from her mother that her parents had died early, so how could she suddenly run away again, especially to the prestigious Gu family in Chongqing?
“Mr. Gu, there are many people in the world who look alike. It’s just a coincidence. My mother said that her parents died when she was young.”
Grandma Gu said firmly, "There must be some misunderstanding. I can guarantee that you are my granddaughter. You can find out the answer as long as you come with me for a DNA test."
Han Xi sighed; she really didn't want to deal with all this right now.
"I'm sorry, I'm really busy and don't have time to mess around with you. Please don't bother me while I'm working."
After Han Xi finished speaking, she nodded in acknowledgment and turned to leave, but Old Madam Gu stopped her again.
"Please, just do the verification. If it's not true, we promise we won't bother you again. Seeing you now is like seeing my daughter. You give me a very warm feeling."
After waiting for so long, Grandma Gu didn't want to miss it.
The old man pleaded, "Miss Han, I can compensate you for all your losses. All you need to do is come to the hospital with us to fulfill our wish."
Han Xi sighed and said unhappily, "Why should I fulfill your wishes? I've already said I'm really busy right now and can't get away. Please don't bother me anymore. Show them out!"
After coldly telling the receptionist to see the person off, Han Xi realized that if she was too agreeable, she would be constantly bothered, so this was the only way she could handle it.
The elderly couple were stunned, and only looked at each other with disappointment after she had walked away.
Seeing this, the receptionist reassured them, "Please don't blame Attorney Han. She's extremely busy right now, entangled in a bunch of troubles, and has to deal with her divorce case. It's best not to bother her."
Grandma Gu immediately inquired about the situation from the front desk. After learning about Han Xi's predicament, she realized that their presence was causing her trouble.
“Old man, we can’t let anyone bully my granddaughter. We must help her find the person behind this.”
"Of course, I'll contact someone to investigate right away."
After meeting Han Xi in person, the elderly couple became even more convinced of her identity. Only by helping her solve her current problems could they reassure her to undergo the examination.
Before leaving get off work, Han Xi received an email from a stranger. When she opened it, the contents made her pupils dilate...
7 p.m.
Full of curiosity, Shen Jiheng arrived at a restaurant. This was the first time Han Xi had taken the initiative to invite him out for a meal.
When Shen Jiheng received her call, he couldn't understand why Han Xi would suddenly ask him out, given that they had been at odds for the past two days.
When Shen Jiheng arrived at the private room, he saw Han Xi already waiting. If he hadn't seen her, he would have thought he was hallucinating.
Han Xi smiled at him and said, "Why are you standing? Sit down!"
Shen Jiheng had an indescribable feeling, and Han Xi felt a little different today.
Shen Jiheng sat down and saw that all the dishes on the table were his favorite flavors. Could it be that Han Xi was worried that he was angry about the trending topics during the day and was apologizing in this way?
Han Xi poured him a glass of wine, but froze when she was about to pour one for herself. She almost forgot that she was pregnant.
However, considering that Shen Jiheng didn't care, he probably hoped the child would die so he could save his beloved nephew.
While Han Xi was in a daze, Chen Jiheng quickly snatched the wine bottle and scolded, "What are you doing? Don't you know pregnant women can't drink alcohol?"
Han Xi looked at him with a surprised expression, then burst out laughing.
Shen Jiheng disliked the eerie smile that was full of sarcasm, and threw the bottle onto the cabinet behind him.
"What's wrong with you? Why did you suddenly call me over?"
"Shen Jiheng, I was wondering if there's anything you want to tell me."
Han Xi gave him one last chance. If he honestly confessed everything, she would reconsider the matter, even if it wasn't his original intention.
Shen Jiheng was completely confused. "I don't understand what you mean. What should I say to you?"
Han Xi laughed, realizing he still wouldn't tell.
It's ridiculous that I was so stupid as to think he would confess.
Han Xi sighed and calmly replied, "It's nothing. I called you here because I wanted to have a farewell dinner with you."
Shen Jiheng stood up angrily and said unhappily, "You're celebrating way too early. Let me tell you honestly, you don't have that chance."
Shen Jiheng knew that if this woman took the initiative to call him over, it couldn't be anything good.
Han Xi picked up the empty wine glass on the table and gently swirled it around. His expression slowly turned serious. Suddenly, he flung it away forcefully, and the glass shattered on the ground with a 'crack,' shards of glass scattering everywhere.
Shen Jiheng was startled by her actions and asked in confusion, "Han Xi, what's wrong with you now?"
Han Xi slammed her hand on the table and stood up, angrily questioning, "Shen Jiheng, why are you doing this to me? You actually found out that Bai Xue was the one who posted the defamatory messages about me online, didn't you!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiheng's face turned pale instantly, his eyes filled with unease. He thought he had already dealt with the situation, so how could Han Xi know?
"Listen to me, this isn't what you think..."
"Shut up, I don't want to hear your explanation. Shen Jiheng, you're really something. You deleted her posting history to protect her, and you threatened reporters to keep it a secret to avoid being discovered. How could you do this to me?"
