Chapter 87 Sharing
"It's just a small token of my appreciation, not a marriage proposal."
"I'll give you the best when I propose."
Guan Yu looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
This guy is being way too mushy.
Although Fang Lanxin was happy, she still couldn't quite accept this version of Guan Yu, mainly because the contrast with his usual demeanor was too great.
"I called you here today because I have something important to discuss." After accepting the ring, Fang Lanxin regained her composure and adopted a businesslike demeanor.
Seeing Fang Lanxin's expression, Guan Yu was both amused and exasperated, but he still nodded and said, "Alright, what is it?"
"I'm going to a fishing village on a business trip. Do you want to come with me?"
"Although that area hasn't been developed yet, the original scenery is still quite beautiful. Shall we go together?"
Fang Lanxin looked at Guan Yu with a smile, her expression filled with a hint of anticipation.
Seeing her like this, Guan Yu didn't hesitate and nodded in agreement: "Okay."
"But you can't go empty-handed. You need to bring more money, just in case you find a piece of land you like and buy it directly."
"Guaranteed to make you money!"
Fang Lanxin's greatest sincerity towards Guan Yu was to share her resources with him.
Guan Erye certainly looked down on that place, but now that he heard Fang Lanxin say this, he could only nod and say, "Alright, then hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, let's go to the dock and take a look. The warehouses over there have all been taken over now, and the Huo family's second branch's ships have also been inspected and repaired. Shall we go out to sea together for a spin?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin immediately became incredibly excited and put down her chopsticks: "Let's go!"
The two drove together to the harbor. At this time, the area had already begun to be developed, but cooperation between the two sides of the strait was not yet close, and the fishing village had not been developed either, so the harbor was not as prosperous as it would be in later years.
Everything was still in its infancy, but Fang Lanxin had seen the most prosperous parts of this place, and she had great confidence in it.
There are a total of thirty warehouses and six ships. If all of them are utilized, it will generate a very substantial income.
Fang Lanxin inspected each of the warehouses one by one. When she got to the last one, she opened the door, a cold glint flashed, and a person rushed out.
"Alan, watch out!"
Guan Erye screamed, grabbed Fang Lanxin, and then kicked the man.
The man rolled on the ground, then got up again, holding a sharp knife, and stabbed Fang Lanxin fiercely.
"You bitch, die!"
The dagger pierced Fang Lanxin's shoulder. Fang Lanxin was in great pain, but she did not panic. She just gripped the man's hand tightly and looked at Guan Yu through gritted teeth.
"Second Master, kill him!"
Guan Yu gritted his teeth, strode forward, grabbed the man by the collar, and then kicked him hard. People around the dock also gathered around, many of whom were Guan Yu's men. They captured the man just like that.
"Alan, how are you? Are you alright?"
"Let me see this quickly!"
Guan Yu didn't even glance at the person; he simply walked to Fang Lanxin's side and stared at her nervously.
Fang Lan gasped in pain, then said calmly, "It's nothing, just a penetrating wound. A little bleeding won't kill you."
She glanced at the person on the ground and immediately saw through the deception. She smiled coldly and said, "I know this person. He's one of Huo Zhenhong's men."
"What Huo Zhenhong? I don't know him. I just can't stand you stealing the assets of your second wife and clinging to your lover!"
The man immediately roared, his eyes fixed on Fang Lanxin as if he truly harbored some deep-seated hatred towards her.
"The acting was absolutely terrible."
"Take him back; I want to interrogate him myself."
Before Fang Lanxin could finish speaking, she fainted in Guan Erye's arms.
"Go to the hospital!"
Guan Yu quickly picked the person up and put him in the carriage.
Hospital, ward.
"Mom! You're awake! Mom, you scared me to death!"
The moment Fang Lanxin opened her eyes, she saw Huo Qibang's face.
She almost instinctively stepped back, looking at him warily, her face full of fear.
"Mom?"
Huo Qibang was startled by Fang Lanxin's reaction and couldn't understand why his mother would react this way.
"Mom, it's me, it's Abang, it's your son!"
Huo Qibang took a step back, softened his tone, and looked at Fang Lanxin.
Fang Lanxin then realized that this was not a dream, and that she had been reborn.
She exhaled, then struggled to sit up, frowning as she looked at Huo Qibang: "Where is Guan Yu?"
"Outside."
"Mom, you went out with him, but he can't protect you. He doesn't deserve you!"
When Kenneth Fok mentioned this person, he exuded an indescribable annoyance, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, clearly showing his displeasure at the two of them being together.
In Kenneth Fok's eyes, his mother was the best woman in the world, worthy of the best man. However, Guan Yu was not the best man.
Upon hearing this, Fang Lanxin was both amused and exasperated, and said helplessly, "No, our relationship isn't what you think."
"Mom, he is not good enough for you."
"But if my mother likes it, I have no objection."
Huo Qibang was initially very insistent on his own opinion, but seeing Fang Lanxin's pale face, he chose to back down.
He reluctantly stepped forward, opened the ward door, and snorted, "My mother wants to see you!"
At this moment, Guan Yu didn't care about the boy's bad attitude and quickly walked to Fang Lanxin's side.
"The doctor said you lost too much blood and need to rest well."
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, I didn't protect you well."
Lord Guan clenched his fists in self-reproach.
"I've already searched the warehouse, and I really didn't know there was another person hiding inside."
Hiding one person in thirty warehouses—what difficulty could that be?
Moreover, this person is a member of the Huo family.
Fang Lanxin shook her head and said calmly, "This person was targeting me anyway, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself."
Upon hearing this, Huo Qibang noticed something amiss: "Mom, do you know who it is?"
"Yes, the fourth branch, Huo Zhenhong."
Fang Lanxin's expression was very indifferent.
She knew that the fourth branch of the family had always been ambitious, but Huo Zhenhong was very good at building his reputation and always presented himself as someone who didn't compete or fight for anything.
If there isn't solid evidence, no one would believe that he did such a thing behind the scenes.
"Fourth Uncle, how...how could he do this?" Huo Qibang looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief.
