After My Daughter Died of Depression, I Was Reborn!

Chapter 16: Han Lixin Gets Into Trouble!

As Shen Fei stepped out of the elevator, he bumped into Han Xinyan, who had just exited the same elevator.

Seeing her, Shen Fei was about to greet her, but Han Xinyan seemed to ignore him, walking ahead without any intention of acknowledging him.

Shen Fei felt a bitter pang in his heart, and the hand he had raised to wave slowly dropped.

After leaving Chengyou Technology, Han Xinyan suddenly slowed her pace.

Seeing this, Shen Fei quickly caught up and walked alongside her.

"Shen Fei, let me remind you, Mr. Jiang is no ordinary person. Don't try using the same tricks you've used with your shady friends on him! If you do, you'll be asking for trouble! Someone like him could easily ruin you in an instant! You'd better put away your cleverness!" Han Xinyan warned in a low voice.

For years, Han Xinyan had viewed Shen Fei as nothing more than a swindler.

No matter what, she never believed that Shen Fei could change his bad habits.

So when she saw Shen Fei getting close to Jiang Tiancheng and getting along with him, her first thought was that Shen Fei must have used his usual tricks on Jiang Tiancheng. Otherwise, with such a difference in status, how could they have met?

But Shen Fei ignored her words and, with a flattering expression, leaned closer to Han Xinyan.

"Ah Yan, are you concerned about me?"

Seeing Shen Fei move closer, Han Xinyan frowned.

"Don't get too close!"

"Concerned? Hmph, Shen Fei, you really know how to be self-important! I'm just trying to sever ties with you completely! After all, being labeled a widow is a terrible reputation! Once you sign the contract, do whatever you want!" Han Xinyan replied coldly.

In the past, after hearing these words, Shen Fei would have beaten her up.

But now, Shen Fei was consumed with deep guilt and self-blame.

Having lived two lifetimes, no one understood better than him that Han Xinyan was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.

Her words were harsh, but her true intention was concern for him.

Unfortunately, he was an idiot and failed to understand her good intentions, harboring resentment because she eventually married that cruel rich businessman.

Thinking about Han Xinyan's fate in the previous life, Shen Fei's heart ached for the woman before him.

If it wasn't for having to save himself from those high-interest loan sharks, why would Han Xinyan have to endure all that?

Just as he was about to express his feelings, a phone call interrupted their conversation.

"Hello? Good afternoon," Han Xinyan answered the phone.

"Hello, is this Ms. Han Xinyan?" the caller asked.

"Yes, this is she," Han Xinyan replied.

"Hello, Ms. Han! This is the Chang'an Police Station. Your brother, Han Lixin, has been detained for a street brawl. The injured party has reported it, and you should come here quickly to discuss whether a settlement can be reached. If the other party is unwilling to settle… you should prepare yourself for what might come."

The moment these words were spoken, Han Xinyan froze, and her heart sank with unease.

Chang'an Police Station…

Detained?

A street brawl?

These unfamiliar words sent her into a panic.

When she regained her composure and had an idea of what had happened, Han Xinyan was on the verge of tears.

If this incident left a mark on Han Lixin's record, what would his future hold?

"Ms. Han? Are you still there?" the caller asked.

"Yes, I'm here! I'll be there right away!" Han Xinyan replied anxiously, her whole body shaking uncontrollably.

Seeing Han Xinyan's distress, Shen Fei quickly asked, "Ah Yan, what happened?"

"Li Xin has been detained at the police station for a street fight!" Han Xinyan quickly answered.

When she finished speaking, she realized that she was talking to Shen Fei, the one she despised.

Why was she telling him this?

"Keep your concern to yourself, from now on we'll go our separate ways. Don't interfere in my matters!" Han Xinyan snapped, then immediately flagged down a car.

Shen Fei let out a helpless smile, but despite his pride, he shamelessly followed her into the same car.

"Driver, take us to Chang'an Police Station! Thank you!" Shen Fei said.

Han Xinyan was about to tell the driver to get rid of Shen Fei when she saw him close his eyes and rest, so she decided to stay silent.

After thinking for a while, she closed her mouth.

Noticing Han Xinyan's silence, Shen Fei quietly smiled to himself.

When it came to Han Lixin, Shen Fei had many feelings.

In his past life, after Ah Yan and Yueyue passed away, Han Lixin had come at him with a knife. If it wasn't for the bystanders stopping him, Shen Fei might have been killed.

From that moment on, their relationship had been strained, and every time they saw each other, they would have hated to tear each other apart.

But in this life, Shen Fei no longer held the same hatred for his brother-in-law.

He understood that everything had been a result of his own actions.

Han Lixin was only fierce because he cared for his sister.

Moreover, as a good uncle, Han Lixin had spoiled Yueyue, and that couldn't be denied.

For this alone, Shen Fei didn't have the right to hate him.

The two of them had different thoughts as they arrived at the Chang'an Police Station.

Han Xinyan got out first and hurriedly approached a police officer.

"Hello, I'm Han Lixin's sister, Han Xinyan! Can I see my brother now?"

"Ms. Han, please don't rush. Han Lixin is in the detention room, but you cannot see him yet. You need to first negotiate with the victim's family. Only if they agree to a settlement can Han Lixin be released without charges. If they refuse to settle, then it will go through the judicial process."

The officer spoke with responsibility.

"Understood! I'll meet with the victim's family," Han Xinyan replied, trying to steady herself, but her voice betrayed her anxiety.

Shen Fei followed behind and was about to enter when the officer stopped him.

"I'm her husband, Han Lixin's brother-in-law."

Shen Fei quickly explained.

Seeing Han Xinyan say nothing, the officer reluctantly allowed Shen Fei to enter.

The three of them arrived outside the mediation room.

"Inside are the victim's family members. You can negotiate with them now."

Han Xinyan nodded, immediately pushing the door open.

"Hello! I'm Han Xinyan, Han Lixin's sister! My brother was impulsive and rude. I'm really sorry! Please forgive him!"

Han Xinyan blurted out apologies in a panic.

Shen Fei, who was behind her, felt a deep sorrow in his heart.

"One 'sorry' isn't enough! Is that all? Will saying sorry restore my brother's injuries? Your brother was impulsive, but why should my brother bear the consequences? It's easy for you to say since you're not the one stitching up the wounds!"

The injured family consisted of three people—two men and one woman. The one speaking was a young man with green-dyed hair.

When the young man saw Han Xinyan, his expression turned furious.
