Chapter 80 A Little Secret
Fang Lanxin rarely acts this generously, except when it comes to Guan Yu.
The two ate together affectionately and went shopping hand in hand. Before, when she was at the Huo family, Fang Lanxin had been suppressing her true nature. Now that she was in a place where no one knew her, she was able to let loose!
Fang Lanxin, along with Guan Erye, went to find a wandering painter.
Holding hands, we captured this beautiful moment in the form of a sketch.
Fang Lanxin smiled, then took the painter's brush and captured his current appearance on the paper.
Even though she hadn't painted for twenty years, Fang Lanxin still had the basic skills, so she was in no way inferior.
"Alan, you look so beautiful."
Guan Yu looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile.
He discovered that Fang Lanxin was now radiant, so much so that it was impossible to look away.
Fang Lanxin then pouted and asked, "When you say it's beautiful, am I more beautiful, or is the painting more beautiful?"
"You're beautiful, but you're more beautiful than the painting. And your painting is beautiful too!" Guan Yu smiled, put his arm around her, and gave her a kiss.
The two of them walked around outside for a long time, and they were so tired that they could hardly lift their hands and feet. Fang Lanxin returned to the hotel and collapsed on the bed.
Guan Yu had a domestic conference call, so he had to go to the hotel lobby to take the call. At this moment, Lu Chen knocked on the door and walked in.
He had worked a long day, which should have been exhausting, but he was in high spirits.
"Sister Fang, the working environment here is so different, I really like it, and their equipment is so advanced!"
Lu Chen excitedly shared everything he had seen that day with Fang Lanxin, but Fang Lanxin was really tired. As he talked, she listened and soon fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing Fang Lanxin asleep, Lu Chen paused for a moment, then took the blanket from the side and gently covered her with it.
"What are you doing?"
This is what Guan Yu saw when he returned.
He strode forward, grabbed Lu Chen's wrist, turned and walked outside, then forcefully slammed him against the wall.
Don't think I can't see through your little scheme!
“Alan is kind-hearted, but I won’t indulge you.”
Guan Yu stood with his arms crossed, staring coldly at the young man before him.
This young man was indeed excessively handsome. Every time Guan Yu saw this face and felt the youthful energy emanating from him, he would feel angry.
He was no longer young, nor as handsome as him, yet, their goal was the same person!
It was at this point that the Second Master finally understood why there was competition among women, and why older women looked down on younger girls!
"Second Master, I don't understand what you mean. I really consider President Fang as family." Lu Chen looked at Second Master Guan pitifully, seemingly not understanding what he had done wrong at all.
Lord Guan snorted disdainfully, then said calmly, "If she can't give you these resources, would you still consider her family? If you want resources, you'd better obey obediently, otherwise, you know the consequences!"
"I didn't!" Lu Chen clenched his fists, stubbornly looking at Guan Erye: "I didn't treat President Fang like family just for the sake of resources!"
"Get lost." Guan Yu had no patience to waste words with Lu Chen: "Stay away from Alan, stay away from us!"
After saying that, Guan Yu immediately closed the door, keeping everyone outside.
Lu Chen, who had just looked pitiful, turned extremely gloomy. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and went to the room next to his.
Fang Lanxin slept soundly on the bed. She had always suffered from insomnia since her rebirth, but for some reason, she was sleeping very well now that she was abroad.
Domestically, at the Huo family mansion.
Huo Qibang had already made preparations for Fang Lanxin's birthday celebration, but he never expected that Fang Lanxin would go abroad.
He stared blankly at the empty villa on the hillside.
"Grandpa Hu, you're not joking with me, are you?"
"My mother... how did she... end up going abroad?"
Kenneth Fok looked at Beard with a puzzled expression. Didn't his mother dislike flying? Why did she take a long-haul flight?
Seeing Huo Qibang's expression, Hu Zi said directly, "If Madam can relax abroad and feel better, then let her go."
"Why, Grandpa Hu, I really don't understand. Why is Mom in a bad mood? Why is Mom acting like a different person?" Huo Qibang looked at Hu Zi with a puzzled expression.
There are some things that Hu Zi couldn't say when Fang Lanxin was around, but now...
Hu Zi looked at Huo Qibang: "All you know is to ask why. Do you know that ever since Madam moved in, she has been drinking heavily and can't sleep. Even when she does fall asleep, she has nightmares. I want to ask you why! Our Fang family's fine young lady, after becoming your mother, how did she become like this!"
Hu Zi is the person who cares most about Fang Lanxin in the world. There is no one left in the Fang family, and they are left to depend on each other. In Hu Zi's heart, Fang Lanxin is even closer than his own daughter!
"I..." Huo Qibang never expected to be questioned like this. He looked at Hu Zi with a helpless expression and said, "I don't know, Grandpa Hu. If I say I don't know, will you believe me?"
“Since your husband passed away, your wife has been managing this family all by herself. There are wolves all around outside, and you two little devils inside. She manages both the family and the company, and she has raised you so well. But what about you?”
"How have you repaid your mother? You make things difficult for her at every turn, you go against her, and you slander her for holding absolute power! You ingrate!"
Hu Zi had long been fed up with this for so many years, and besides, he had never relied on the Huo family for his livelihood, so he didn't take this ingrate seriously at all.
Kenneth Fok was stunned.
She instinctively stepped back, shaking her head vigorously: "No, no, that's not how it is at all, I'm not like that!"
"Then what kind of person are you?" the bearded man pressed aggressively. "Why did Madam withdraw from the Huo Group? Why did she stop caring about the inner workings of the Huo family? Tell me, tell me!"
At this point, Huo Qibang was finally speechless. He could only lower his head silently and say in a low voice, "It was me. I was ignorant. I'm sorry, Mother."
"Get out." Beard took a deep breath. "If you have any conscience left, you should learn to let go."
Let go?
Upon hearing those two words, Huo Qibang's expression immediately changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "She's my mother. How can I let go? How can I possibly let go!"
"Suit yourself." Beard knew he didn't have the final say in this matter, so he simply said those two words and turned to leave: "See him out!"
