Chapter 44 It Will Make You Sad
"You still dare to say you don't have women!"
Grandpa Guan gritted his teeth.
He knew his brother wasn't a Puritan and definitely had women, but he usually paid them off after the encounter. This was the first time his brother had gone to such lengths to buy him so many things.
Looking at the style of these items, Grandpa Guan was basically certain that his younger brother was not lying and that it was indeed not a little girl.
At 8 p.m., Guan Yu arrived at the dock on time.
But Fang Lanxin was already sitting there, and it looked like she had already eaten two bowls of fish balls.
"No cook at the hillside villa?"
Guan Yu stepped forward, frowned as he looked at Fang Lanxin, and then placed all the bags and packages he was carrying at her feet.
The luxury bags in his hands stood in stark contrast to his surroundings, creating a stark and jarring contrast, much like his own personality—completely out of place in this environment.
Even sitting at a fish ball stall, one could still tell at a glance that he was no ordinary person.
"Second Master, you're so handsome! You're the center of attention wherever you go!"
Fang Lanxin smiled at Guan Yu, facing the sea breeze.
Guan Yu instinctively became wary, his brows furrowing slightly: "Do you want something from me?"
"Second Master, you're hurting my feelings by saying that!"
"ah!"
Suddenly a figure darted out, and the table in front of them was overturned.
Fang Lanxin screamed in fright and almost flew up.
She looked closely and raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Uncle Guan, you're here too?"
"Brother, what... what are you doing?" Guan Erye also realized what was happening and quickly walked to Fang Lanxin's side, took her hand, and stood protectively in front of her.
Seeing his younger brother's pathetic state, Grandpa Guan's expression immediately changed. Pointing his finger at his nose, he said angrily, "Have you forgotten the family precepts of the Guan family? She is a member of the Huo family. Are you crazy? How can you be so intimate with her and buy her these things? Could it be that you...you!"
Grandpa Guan simply couldn't bring himself to say what came next!
Fang Lanxin crossed her arms and looked coldly at Grandpa Guan: "My surname isn't Huo."
One sentence instantly extinguished half of Grandpa Guan's fury.
He looked awkwardly at Fang Lanxin, touched his nose, then looked at Guan Yu and gritted his teeth: "Go home!"
"Alan, wait for me." Guan Yu did not choose to escalate the conflict at this moment.
The biggest difference between a mature man and a little boy is that a mature man can solve problems without acting impulsively and escalating conflicts.
He got into the car with his older brother, then looked at Fang Lanxin with some reluctance: "I picked all these things out for you, I'm sure you'll like them!"
"Drive!" Grandpa Guan looked at his younger brother's useless appearance with disgust and gave him a hard smack on the back of the head.
Guan Yu winced in pain and looked at Guan Da Ye in shock: "Brother, how old am I? Why are you still hitting me?"
"I hit you because of this. If Father finds out about this, he will beat you to death!"
"I'm asking you, what exactly is going on between you and Fang Lanxin!"
Grandpa Guan was so angry that his face turned white, and he glared at Second Master Guan through gritted teeth.
"It's just like what you see. I've liked Alan since I was a child, but that Huo family boy beat me to it. Now, Alan is willing to be with me, so I'm going to marry her!"
"Are you crazy?"
Grandpa Guan had already guessed something, but he was still dumbfounded after hearing the definite answer, staring at Second Master Guan in disbelief.
"Our two families are sworn enemies!"
"How could you marry the Huo family's wife? Are you trying to kill me and Dad?"
Grandpa Guan was so angry with him that he became somewhat incoherent.
Upon hearing this, Guan Yu fell silent.
However, he quickly said, "I will go and tell Father myself, brother, she was my dream when I was young, and that dream has never changed!"
Now, even though Grandpa Guan had a lot of swear words to say, he couldn't say them at all. In desperation, he could only grit his teeth and look outside.
Fang Lanxin wasn't upset by the farce; instead, she took all those things back with her.
A person sat on the sofa, slowly unpacking a box containing clothes that were all designer brands and quite expensive.
Fang Lanxin just felt that these clothes didn't quite match her style; they were more girlish.
She looked at herself in the mirror and frowned slightly.
Although she is over forty years old, she has maintained her appearance very well over the years, so she looks like she is only in her early thirties.
Since taking over the management of the Huo family at the age of nineteen, Fang Lanxin has forgotten what it feels like to have a girlish heart.
She looked at the pink dress, smiled, and couldn't help but put it on. Sure enough, she looked like she had really returned to her teenage years.
Fang Lanxin couldn't even believe that the person in the mirror was herself. She always felt that the shackles that bound her were starting to shake. She believed that sooner or later, these shackles would surely vanish.
Fang Lanxin had originally planned to have a proper talk with Guan Yu about the dock business, but now that this matter has escalated, it's likely to be delayed for a while. However, Fang Lanxin isn't in a hurry; she has already started researching new directions.
"Ah Shuang, how's the arrangement for the company I asked you to set up going?" Fang Lanxin had already handed the Huo family back to Huo Qibang.
Over the years, she has accumulated a considerable amount of capital, so she plans to start her own business and establish her own company.
"It's already registered, but... Madam, are you really sure?"
"If this really starts operating, I'm afraid it will be hard to keep it from the young master."
Ah Shuang looked at Fang Lanxin with some difficulty.
Fang Lanxin waved her hand dismissively and said indifferently, "This is nothing shameful. What can he do even if he finds out? Hong Kong is so big, is the Huo family the only one that can do business?"
"Yes, I understand. I'll arrange it right away."
Ah Shuang immediately nodded, then took out a notebook and looked at the contents.
"Madam, there is a charity gala tomorrow night, a family gathering next Wednesday, and a shareholders' family gathering next Friday!"
Ah Shuang began to report on Fang Lanxin's upcoming schedule.
"I can attend the charity gala, but the family gatherings and shareholder family gatherings will all be arranged by the young mistress." Fang Lanxin simply tossed all these messy matters aside.
She no longer wanted to deal with the Huo family's messy affairs. Let the younger generation do whatever they want. After all, she was only nineteen when she took over the Huo family!
"Yes, I'll arrange the dress for the banquet immediately." Ah Shuang wrote it down in her notebook: "This time it's an ice and snow theme, Madam, what are your thoughts?"
