Chapter 86 A Proposal?
Grandpa Guan was furious at the sight of him. He strode forward and said through gritted teeth, "You brat, don't think I don't know. You didn't go abroad alone. You went with Fang Lanxin, didn't you?"
"Yes, we went together. We're in a relationship. We went on vacation abroad together. What's wrong with that?" Guan Yu sat up straight, looking at his brother with confusion. "Wasn't I clear enough?"
Grandpa Guan wasn't so angry when he didn't explain things clearly, but now that he has, his temper has gotten even worse!
"How many times do I have to tell you! You two are impossible, you can't be with Fang Lanxin!"
"Hong Kong is such a big city, with so many girls. You could have chosen any of them. Why her of all people? Why?"
Grandpa Guan was almost out of breath and sat down on the sofa with a flushed face.
"If I could choose someone else, I would have been married long ago. I don't want anyone else, I only want her!"
"Brother, let's get this straight today. I really like Fang Lanxin. I've liked her since I was little, for many years. I'm determined to be with her. You... why don't you grant us your wish?"
Guan Yu was decisive and efficient when he was outside, but he was still a bit childish and cute in front of his brother. In fact, due to the bloodline suppression, he was somewhat petite and charming in front of everyone.
Seeing him like this, the old man had a headache. He knew his younger brother well; he was incredibly stubborn, and once he set his mind on something, he would definitely get it.
"The elders of the Guan family will kill you."
"Besides, you won't be able to get past the old man either! I'm really doing this for your own good!"
The last incident caused quite a stir, and it took the old man a lot of effort to suppress it. If the second master continues to cause trouble like this, the old man will have no choice but to give up.
"He can't really kill me, can he?"
Lord Guan spoke with righteous indignation, and after finishing, he turned and left without paying attention to the old man's ugly expression.
After packing her things, Fang Lanxin called Guan Erye and asked him to have lunch together.
Just as they hung up the phone, Old He and Old Li walked in. They were all smiles when they came in, but when they saw Fang Lanxin's things, their smiles froze on their faces.
"President Fang, what do you mean by this? Are you saying you won't come to the company anymore?" Old Li frowned, looking at Fang Lanxin with a puzzled expression and a hint of anxiety.
Fang Lanxin smiled and then said, "I no longer hold any position in the company, so of course I should leave."
"Uncle Li, I'm getting old." Fang Lan said meaningfully, "I can't manage the children's affairs anymore, and I don't want to, so I want to retire and live a few years of peace and quiet."
Old He looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief: "You're only forty years old, and you're already saying you're old?"
"Women age so fast!" Fang Lanxin said with a smile, looking at Old He. "I can't compare to you two uncles. I want to play for a few more years!"
Fang Lanxin had already explained everything regarding the company; she was just being polite now.
Originally, Mr. He and Mr. Li thought that Fang Lanxin was just using this method to control Huo Qibang and make him obey, but they never expected that Fang Lanxin would actually be serious.
Their gazes towards Fang Lanxin were somewhat complicated, especially Old He's.
Old He found a place to sit down, then sighed with some regret and said softly, "Alan, we've fought side by side, are you really willing to leave the battlefield like this?"
"I'm only withdrawing from the Huo family's battlefield, my own battlefield. I'm still advancing." Fang Lanxin smiled gently, then looked at Old He: "Children have things to do, and I have things to do. It's a good thing that we each reign supreme."
Upon hearing this, Old He finally understood that Fang Lanxin hadn't stopped doing business, she just wasn't doing business with the Huo family anymore.
"You're just abandoning us like this?" Old He looked at Fang Lanxin with some confusion. "Why?"
Fang Lanxin didn't know how to explain this to President He, so she could only smile gently in the end.
She bowed to the two old men.
"Uncle He, Uncle Li, you've worked so hard all these years. I know you've always done your best to help me. From now on, our paths will diverge."
"I hope that you will take good care of Fok Kai-pong, considering that we have fought side by side."
Fang Lanxin's action was tantamount to entrusting her orphan to someone else.
Seeing this, the two of them didn't say much, but simply reassured Fang Lanxin.
Fang Lanxin smiled, then hugged her things, turned around, and strode away.
This time, Fang Lanxin didn't look back as she left; she only kept moving forward.
Huo Qibang stood by the window upstairs, watching Fang Lanxin leave without looking back. He suddenly had a strange feeling that he and the Huo family had been abandoned by Fang Lanxin. He felt as if he were standing on a deserted island, all alone.
“Ah Wen, why do you think Mom is like this now?” Huo Qibang turned to look at Huo Wen: “Ah Wen, Mom is really gone.”
Huo Wen was looking at documents when he heard this. He looked up at Huo Qibang, puzzled, and asked, "Mr. Huo, haven't you always wanted to have complete control? Now you're in charge of the entire Huo family. Why aren't you happy?"
"Should I be happy?" Huo Qibang looked at Huo Wen, somewhat confused.
He should have been happy, after all, he had been looking forward to this day since he was eighteen, but he never expected that now that the day had actually come, he would be so flustered.
"I can't be happy."
Kenneth Fok sat in a chair, his shoulders slumped.
“My mother left without looking back, abandoning me and the Huo Group.”
Huo Wen simply couldn't understand what Huo Qibang was thinking.
"When children grow up, they need to do things independently and leave their parents."
"Mr. Huo, you should go and inspect the factory now."
Huo Wen stood up and handed him the report in his hand.
"The two factories are not operating on a budget; I'm afraid someone is up to no good."
Huo Qibang immediately nodded, took the report, and strode outside. His mother was gone, but he wanted to follow her example and support the entire Huo family.
On the other side, Fang Lanxin went directly to the restaurant she had booked.
Guan Yu handed Fang Lanxin a velvet box: "Take a look, do you like it?"
Fang Lanxin opened the box, looked at the ten-carat square-cut diamond inside, and smiled: "Is this a proposal?"
