Chapter 140 The Cold War
This matter is indeed related to Fang Lanxin, but it is not entirely because of her.
Just a moment's hesitation was enough for Grandpa Guan to confirm that it was because of Fang Lanxin. At this point, Grandpa Guan's temper flared up. He slammed his hand on the table and said angrily, "Are you crazy? Are you out of your mind? This is a company decision. Are you going to listen to a woman's opinion?"
"For so many years, the Huo family and the Guan family in Hong Kong have been mortal enemies. Do you really think she would do this for your own good?" Grandpa Guan looked at his younger brother with his eyebrows furrowed tightly and his face full of helplessness.
He had been worried for a long time because Guan Yu refused to find a woman. Now that Guan Yu had actually found a woman, Guan Yu realized that it would have been better if he hadn't found one at all!
Seeing Grandpa Guan's irritable state, Second Master Guan also lost his temper and rolled his eyes at him, then said irritably, "You're the one who's out of your mind. Do you think I'm that worthless? Do you think I would abandon my family and the company for a woman? Don't you take me too lightly!"
Guan Yu already felt that Fang Lanxin didn't take him seriously, and now seeing his elder brother still acting this way, Guan Yu's face became even uglier. After roaring back in anger, he overturned the table and turned to leave.
"You brat, your temper is getting worse and worse, isn't it? How dare you flip the table at me? I'm your older brother!"
"All you do is bully your own people. If you're so capable, go and confront Fang Lanxin!"
"They don't want you anymore, they abandoned you, you deserve it!"
After all, he's my older brother, so he naturally knows where to poke me to hurt the most.
This sentence was like a knife to the heart, and Guan Yu felt a dull pain in his chest, and his whole body felt unwell.
He sat in the car, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, gritted his teeth, and drove straight toward the airport.
These days, Fang Lanxin and Shen Dahai haven't sent a single message or made a single phone call. At first, Guan Erye felt very wronged, but now all he feels is longing. He can't wait to see her, but he can't find a reason to do so, and he can't bring himself to do it.
The Lantern Festival was fast approaching, but Fang Lanxin showed no intention of returning to the port city. Instead, she focused on taking Ah Shuang and the others to set up the fishing village.
Seeing Fang Lanxin like this, A Shuang felt a little uneasy and said, "Boss, are you really not going back to Hong Kong for the holidays this year? The Huo Group is at a critical time of transformation. If we don't go back at this time and internal strife breaks out, I'm afraid it won't be good."
"I have to work overtime," Fang Lanxin said coldly.
After hearing this, Ah Shuang thought for a moment and then whispered, "Boss, are you really angry? But are you angry because of Bang Shao, or because of... that other person?"
"Which one?"
"I've noticed you've become increasingly gossipy since you came to the fishing village. Is it because you're still not getting enough work?"
Fang Lanxin's expression immediately changed. Even though A Shuang hadn't mentioned this person's name at all, Fang Lanxin knew who he was talking about.
The thought of that person made Fang Lanxin furious. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly, and she gritted her teeth as she looked at A Shuang, saying irritably, "If I ever hear you spouting this useless nonsense again, don't blame me for not giving you face!"
After saying this, Fang Lanxin turned and left.
Ah Shuang wasn't bothered by Fang Lanxin's scolding. He just scratched his head, sighed helplessly, and said, "When did our boss become so petty?"
"President Shuang, please don't upset President Fang, okay?" Cheng Yan looked at Shuang with some helplessness. Was this person not quite right in the head?
"You know perfectly well that Ms. Fang is sulking and refusing to go on her business trip because she had a fight with her boyfriend. Why bring that up again?" Cheng Yan snorted. "Our Ms. Fang is such a good person; whatever happens, it must be that guy's fault!"
Is it possible to be so protective of one's own?
Ah Shuang nodded with satisfaction at Cheng Yan's expression, then said with a smile, "I knew you were smart, you know how to choose sides, impressive, impressive."
"What's this about taking sides? I just can't stand seeing President Fang angry and upset." Cheng Yan rolled her eyes at A Shuang. This man is great in every way except for his poor communication skills!
As soon as he said that, Ah Shuang regretted it a little and smiled sheepishly, "Okay, okay, I understand. I misspoke. Let's go buy fireworks together as an apology, okay?"
Fang Lanxin was sullen all day. This was the first time in her life that she hadn't spent the Lantern Festival in the port city. Many others were in the same boat, as this was their first festival in the fishing village.
She had instructed her staff well in advance to prepare for this Lantern Festival. The studio was filled with delicious food. Fang Lanxin looked at the happy little kids, but for some reason, she couldn't feel happy at all.
"Sister Fang, what's wrong?" Lu Chen walked over with a small cake, looking at Fang Lanxin curiously: "Are you in a bad mood?"
Fang Lanxin wasn't in a bad mood, but she just couldn't feel happy. After not contacting him for so many days, Fang Lanxin had no idea what that guy was doing.
She thought for a moment and then said sullenly, "It's nothing, I guess I'm just getting old, I don't really like crowds anymore."
Actually, Fang Lanxin didn't dislike liveliness; she just didn't like the liveliness without Guan Yu.
From day to night, Fang Lanxin simply sat at the door, silently watching outside. It wasn't until the fireworks exploded in the sky that Fang Lanxin belatedly realized that she had done nothing all day but just sat there.
The fireworks were dazzling. Fang Lanxin looked up at the spectacular sight in the sky and finally felt a little relaxed.
She relaxed her expression, a slight smile playing on her lips.
“Alan.”
Lord Guan arrived in a hurry, carrying his suitcase.
He looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile, opened his arms to her, and said, "I missed you."
"you……"
Fang Lanxin reacted almost instantly, and all her words turned into a hug as she rushed into Guan Yu's arms.
"Fang Lanxin, you're so heartless! You didn't even call me once!"
"Aren't you the same?"
After a brief period of longing, the two people begin to complain about each other.
Lu Chen came out with a drink, and looking at the two of them standing beautifully under the fireworks, he felt a little bitter. The drink in his hand turned into a bottle of vinegar.
He took a deep breath, drank two bottles of beverages (something he never did before), and then, without saying a word, turned and strode towards the bustling crowd inside.
