Chapter 91 Grandpa Shen Takes Charge
Han Xi saw unprecedented panic in his eyes and felt relieved. The biggest benefit of this family reunion for Han Xi was having a powerful background.
Moreover, their elders were close friends, which was a good opportunity to teach Shen Jiheng a lesson.
“Shen Jiheng, I have no face to defend you for the foolish things you’ve done. Do you still want to make excuses? Grandpa has already said that he agrees to our divorce.”
Shen Jiheng looked at his grandfather and said, "You should just rest and recuperate, and don't worry about the young people's affairs."
"You bastard, are you even speaking human language? If you really care, take a look at how much harm you've caused Han Xi from beginning to end. She went to great lengths to get a divorce; that's how disappointed she is in you."
Shen Jiheng was stunned when he saw the densely packed documents on the table, which detailed the grievances and hurts she had suffered over the years while she was by his side.
Just how much disappointment must have accumulated in him to be able to list them all?
“I have already asked Professor Yang about the situation and even got the video of Han Xi’s surgery. They say that people’s hearts are made of flesh and blood, but I think your heart is made of iron. Do you know what it feels like to have a broken bone?”
Old Master Shen's eyes reddened as he spoke, and he turned to bow to Han Xi.
“Child, I’m so sorry. I didn’t know you suffered so much by his side. Don’t worry, Grandpa will stand up for you and give you your freedom.”
Shen Jiheng did so many things just to keep her here.
He was initially full of confidence, but he overlooked the fact that there was someone in Chongqing who was more powerful than him.
Han Xi's nose tingled, and she choked up, saying, "Grandpa, you don't need to apologize to me. It's not your fault. I just want to be free."
Shen Jiheng looked at Han Xi, "You were really in so much pain by my side that you tried everything to leave."
Han Xi picked up the documents on the table and handed them to him, including the video that Old Master Shen had brought back.
"Don't say anything now. Read all of the above carefully before asking me this question."
Grandpa Shen pulled him to his side and patted him on the shoulder.
"Ji Heng, you should have a conscience. Don't be hostile. Take a closer look."
Those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly. Shen Jiheng's mindset was problematic; he always believed that Han Xi wanted a divorce because of another man, and he couldn't see the essence of the matter at all.
Shen Jiheng breathed a sigh of relief before carefully reading the contents.
Since Han Xi married into the Shen family, he has never done anything for her. Instead, he has been picky and difficult in daily life, making Han Xi suffer all kinds of contempt.
Then came the neglect and hurt that Gu Hanxi caused. When he saw the surgical video and her painful treatment process, Shen Jiheng's eyes began to well up with tears.
He never put himself in Han Xi's shoes, yet he did so many things that hurt her.
"sorry!"
This was the first time Shen Jiheng had used such a sincere tone, and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
Han Xi said, "If you really feel sorry, then get a divorce and give me my freedom."
Shen Jiheng looked up at her and saw her unwavering determination.
"I understand, I will do as you wish."
Han Xi breathed a sigh of relief; as expected, it was more effective for the old man to intervene.
"I need to get this sorted out as soon as possible; I'll go and take care of it tomorrow."
After a moment's hesitation, Shen Jiheng gritted his teeth and uttered a few words.
"Do as you say."
If this could alleviate Han Xi's resentment, he was willing to do it.
Grandpa Shen said helplessly, "Han Xi, I heard you're pregnant. From now on, this child will have to recognize me as his great-grandfather."
"Of course, thank you for making the decision for me. I will bring my child to visit you often in the future."
Han Xi has no hatred towards them and is very willing to let the child interact with them.
Even though Grandpa Shen was extremely reluctant, he felt embarrassed to ask his grandson to stay because of the inhuman things his grandson had done.
Furthermore, the second master of the Gu family said that if Shen Jiheng refused, they would not give up easily.
"That's good. You can discuss the rest yourselves. As for the joint property of the couple, you will get every penny."
Old Master Shen looked at Shen Jiheng and asked, "Do you have any objections to what I'm saying?"
Shen Jiheng shook his head: "I have no objection."
Fortunately, Mr. Shen was reasonable, which made things proceed smoothly.
Han Xi was very satisfied with the outcome. "Thank you, Grandpa. I'll head back now. Please call me if anything comes up."
Shen Jiheng also stood up, "I'll take you back."
"No need. At this time, we should all calm down." Han Xi refused his kindness, even though she felt that he was sincere, there was no need for it.
Shen Jiheng stood frozen in place, only able to watch her leave.
"Kid, it's not too late to regret it now. You're only divorced, not separated by death. As long as you realize your mistakes and are determined to correct them, you can still win her back."
Shen Jiheng, however, lacked this confidence.
"Do I still have a chance?"
"Of course, don't forget that you two have a child as a link, and you'll be able to see each other often in the future. I can see that she's utterly disappointed, which means she once loved you."
A new hope ignited in Shen Jiheng's heart. His grandfather then said, "But there's still a problem right now. She's going to sue you and Bai Xue. You need to handle that."
Even if Shen Jiheng agrees to the divorce, Han Xi has no intention of letting them go.
Snow White ruined her reputation; she must make both of them pay.
"Grandpa, there's been a misunderstanding. I'm still investigating."
Upon hearing his tone, Old Master Shen immediately reprimanded him.
"Your biggest mistake was not trusting Han Xi from the beginning and only knowing how to defend others. If you had stood by her side, none of this would have happened today."
Shen Jiheng suddenly realized that if he had come to this realization earlier, things wouldn't be like this now.
Grandpa Shen sighed and said, "In any case, it's not too late. You must change your old temper and win her over with your sincerity."
Shen Jiheng nodded firmly: "I will win her back."
As soon as Han Xi left, she told Zhuo Qingqian the good news, jokingly saying that if she married Gu Beichen in the future, their good friends would become in-laws.
Han Xi was overjoyed at the thought of her best friend becoming family.
Although she disliked Gu Hanxi, Han Xi was still comforted by the fact that the two elderly people were reasonable. Now that they were inviting her to move back to their home, she needed to consider it carefully.
Han Xi had just returned to her apartment when her phone rang. Seeing that it was the old lady calling, she could roughly guess the reason.
She answered gently and asked, "Grandma, is there something you need on the phone?"
Putting everything else aside, the old lady treated her well.
"Han Xi, Grandma would like to invite you to a meal. I'll send you the location later. You won't refuse this old woman, will you?"
Most likely, they would be discussing divorce. Han Xi was a little worried, but after thinking about it, she agreed. Anyway, now that the old man was backing her up, and Shen Jiheng had also nodded, no one could stop her.
"Okay, see you later."
After hanging up the phone, Han Xi took a deep breath. She always had to face certain things, and she had to forge ahead.
However, to Han Xi's surprise, when he arrived at the address and location provided by the old lady and entered the private room, he found that the person sitting inside was actually Bai Xue.
