Chapter 148 I Heard
"Why blame women for your own incompetence?"
"The men of your Huo family rely on women's connections, but every member of my Guan family is a tough guy. We would never do something so shameless!"
Guan Yu looked at Huo Zhenhong with disdain.
"The struggle between us has already begun. You yourself know perfectly well that this matter has nothing to do with Fang Lanxin. The reason you're yelling and shouting here is just to cover up your incompetence!"
Huo Zhenhong never expected that Guan Yu would speak like that. Although the relationship between the two families had always been tense, they would always maintain a facade of civility. Such a scathing rebuke was something that had never happened before.
"Are you crazy? How dare you talk to me like that?"
"Guan Er, you stole my things and you dare to mock me!"
Huo Zhenhong's face turned pale with anger, his hands clenched into fists, his expression ferocious as if he were about to rush up and devour people alive.
"I'm being very polite by talking to you like this."
"Since we've come this far, I won't waste any more words with you. I'm only giving the Huo family some face because of Fang Lanxin; otherwise, I would have turned against you long ago!"
"Go back. If I ever hear you slandering Fang Lanxin again, I'll teach you a lesson."
Guan Yu's mouth was like a machine gun; even though Huo Zhenhong was displeased, he was no match for him and had no choice but to turn around and walk outside.
Upon reaching the door, Huo Zhenhong said directly, "Let me tell you, forget about it. I will absolutely not let Fang Lanxin be with you!"
"That depends on whether you have the ability," Guan Yu scoffed disdainfully.
What era are we living in now? Remarriage is a perfectly normal thing. Guan Yu wasn't insistent on this before because he knew Fang Lanxin didn't like him at all. But now that Guan Yu knows Fang Lanxin likes him, he's naturally going to remarry without hesitation.
Huo Zhenhong was so angry that his face turned red. Helpless, he could only grit his teeth and leave.
Grandpa Guan walked over from behind and looked at Guan Er's crazy appearance, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He sighed helplessly and then said, "Can you calm down a little?"
"Calm down? How can I calm down?"
"The Huo family is shameless!"
Lord Guan spat disdainfully.
However, he quickly calmed down, smiled, and said, "Alright, I won't talk about this anymore. I'm going to go to the fishing village to check out the port now."
"Go."
Grandpa Guan snorted dismissively.
"Don't I know who you're going to see?"
"I just don't understand, Fang Lanxin is over forty and has two children, what exactly do you like about her?"
Grandpa Guan simply couldn't understand his younger brother's taste. So many young girls were chasing after him, yet he wouldn't even glance at them. He only liked this one woman. What was he thinking?
As for this matter, even Guan Yu himself didn't know how to explain it. He could only sigh helplessly and then say, "Liking someone is irrational. I liked her the moment I saw her."
It's hopeless.
Grandpa Guan felt a headache coming on. He rubbed his temples and then said in a muffled voice, "So how do you plan to explain this to the family?"
"If it doesn't work, then I'll just take the beating. They won't really kill me."
Guan Yu has come to terms with it now. Anyway, he won't die. If he can't be killed, he just wants to be with the person he loves. Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, it won't help and won't change anything.
Fishing village.
Fang Lanxin looked at the documents and reports in her hand and started doing the accounting. After confirming that there were enough funds in the account, she breathed a sigh of relief and then called over A Shuang: "How is the flower and plant market doing now?"
"Don't worry, boss. Jiang Hai is definitely a formidable character. He's already managed things perfectly over there. You can rest assured." A Shuang looked at Fang Lanxin with a smug smile.
Fang Lanxin knew that Jiang Hai was definitely capable, so she nodded and asked, "Okay, when will they be able to start production?"
"I heard that all the preparations are complete next month, and now we just have to wait for the flowers to bloom." Ah Shuang immediately became serious.
I heard?
Fang Lanxin frowned deeply and looked at A Shuang with displeasure: "How long has it been since you last went to see the market over there?"
"I've been so busy lately, I haven't had a moment to think about him."
"Boss, I'm sorry."
Ah Shuang looked at Fang Lanxin with a guilty conscience.
Fang Lanxin immediately got up and walked outside. Since A Shuang was too busy to go, she still wanted to take a look. After all, although this area seemed insignificant now, it would definitely get better and better in the future and become a major source of income.
Before they even reached the end of the market, they could already hear cursing and swearing. Fang Lanxin frowned, glanced at A Shuang, and said, "Go back immediately and bring our security guards over!"
"Yes!" Ah Shuang nodded immediately, looked around, picked up a wooden stick, handed it to Fang Lanxin, and turned to leave.
Jiang Hai stood alone, protecting the flowers and plants, gritting his teeth: "We've already bought this land, why do you still want protection money? You're just local bullies, I won't pay!"
"Damn it, you're asking for it!"
"Let me tell you, whatever Brother Sun says he wants, he has to give it to you. If you dare to say another word, I'll kill you!"
The leader of the thugs' faces changed, and he went up and slapped Jiang Hai hard across the face.
"stop!"
Fang Lanxin shouted angrily, gripped the wooden stick in her hand tightly, and walked over.
She looked at Jiang Hai with some concern: "Are you alright?"
"Mr. Fang, you... what brings you here?"
"I'm fine."
Jiang Hai looked at Fang Lanxin standing in front of him with some worry.
“You’ve come to the wrong person if you want money. He’s just an employee. I’m the boss.”
"Who wants the money, and what kind of money does they want? Explain clearly."
Fang Lanxin turned around to face the thugs, her expression calm but her tone cold and sharp.
When the blond-haired leader saw Fang Lanxin's expression, he suddenly laughed out loud: "I thought it was someone else, but it's just a woman. Auntie, I think you're not young anymore, so you should be sensible, right? This is Brother Sun's territory, so you have to pay protection money, otherwise, I'll make sure your place never has a moment's peace!"
"Who is Brother Sun?" Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow, looked around, but didn't see anyone who looked decent. She figured that he probably wasn't here anymore.
The thug frowned and said, "You think you're worthy of seeing Brother Sun!"
