Chapter 168 Just playing around?
Grandpa Guan originally came to deliver food to his younger brother and try to persuade him, but after seeing this scene through the door, he knew that nothing he said would make a difference.
Watching his younger brother's retreating figure, Grandpa Guan sighed helplessly, then silently put down the boxed lunch in his hand, walked to the end of the corridor, and lit a cigarette.
After finishing his cigarette, Grandpa Guan finally made up his mind.
Since my younger brother wants this kind of person, I should become his helper rather than an obstacle for him!
Grandpa Guan felt a headache coming on when he thought about what he would have to do in the future.
He was born with a carefree and unconventional personality, so Guan Yu usually handled most of the family affairs. However, it seems that things can't continue like this. He can't slack off anymore; he has to get serious now.
Fang Lanxin wiped away her tears, kissed Guan Yu's face repeatedly, and then turned and walked outside.
As soon as he stepped out the door, he was met with Grandpa Guan's gloomy face, which looked like it was about to drip water.
Originally, Fang Lanxin had some respect for him, but now that she had witnessed how much Guan Yu was suffering, she had lost even that respect.
Fang Lanxin asked coldly, "What is it?"
"Let's go outside and talk."
Looking at Fang Lanxin's cold face, Grandpa Guan felt very confused. She was the one who was clinging to her younger brother, so why did it seem like the Guan family had wronged her?
After leaving the house, Grandpa Guan looked at Fang Lanxin very seriously.
"I've never asked you about your relationship before, but now I just want to know one thing: do you really like my brother or are you just playing around?"
Fang Lanxin was so angry that she laughed as she asked such a question at this moment.
“I’m forty years old this year. I’m long past the age of playing around. I used to let the Guan family off the hook because of Second Master, but now that you’re treating him like this, I can only apologize.”
"If I find out that you are bullying him again in the future, I will wipe out the Guan family."
Fang Lanxin remained calm, but the murderous intent in her eyes was no longer concealed.
With just that one look, Grandpa Guan knew that Fang Lanxin's feelings for Second Master Guan were truly sincere.
Fang Lanxin's words made Grandpa Guan feel both happy and worried. After all, it was a good thing that his younger brother had found someone he truly liked, but unfortunately, this person was not right and was also fierce.
The Guan family's business is currently in a precarious situation; if they don't move forward, they will fall behind. If Fang Lanxin were to turn her guns on the Guan family at this time, the outcome would likely be a lose-lose situation.
The key point is that, looking at Fang Lanxin's expression, Grandpa Guan knew that she was definitely not afraid of the outcome.
Left with no other choice, Grandpa Guan could only sigh and say, "Alright, I'll try my best to find a way to help you two resolve this, but you have to promise me one thing: you absolutely mustn't do anything reckless, understand?"
"As long as you don't hurt him, I won't do anything reckless."
"As the older brother, you've finally said something sensible."
Fang Lanxin had no intention of saying much to him, and after saying those words, she strode away.
What kind of talk is that!
Grandpa Guan originally thought that he would be grateful to Fang Lanxin for helping him despite setting aside his principles, but he never expected that he would end up with such a comment.
His eyebrows were furrowed tightly as he glared at the direction Fang Lanxin had left, his face turning pale with anger. When he returned to the ward and saw Guan Erye's dazed expression, Guan Daye became even angrier and slammed the lunchbox he was holding onto the table: "Eat!"
Are you going through menopause?
Guan Yu looked at Guan Da Ye with some confusion, feeling that this man's temper was simply inexplicable.
Grandpa Guan was already in a bad mood, and hearing this made him feel even worse. His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he said irritably, "I'm asking you, what are your plans regarding Fang Lanxin?"
How did we end up talking about this again?
Guan Yu suddenly felt that the food in his bowl didn't taste good anymore.
He sighed and looked at his older brother with some helplessness: "Brother, can't we talk about anything else besides this? You bring this up every time you see me. I'm tired of it, even if you're not!"
"If you're annoying, then break up with him!" Old Man Guan glared angrily at Second Master Guan, grinding his teeth and sneer, "Look at you, so pathetic! For a woman, you, you, you!"
"Brother, it's not just for a woman, it's also for myself." Guan Erye obediently put down his lunchbox and looked at Guan Daye: "Brother, you didn't like doing business when you were a child. You liked to wander around and explore. So all these years, you've been living the life you like, haven't you? But there are only two of us children in the family. If you don't like doing business, then I have to like doing business. But all these years, has anyone really known what I like or what I want to do?"
Grandpa Guan never expected his younger brother to say such a thing. He had always thought that Second Master Guan liked doing business, which was why he had been playing around without a care in the world.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Guan fell into deep thought for the first time in front of his younger brother. After a long while, he asked, "So what do you like?"
"Actually, it doesn't matter what I like. What matters is that since I was born, it seems like I've had no choice. Everything I have is not my choice. Don't you think that's unfair to me?"
"What I want now is not just Fang Lanxin, but also my choice. I will stick to my choice. She is the person I chose, do you understand?"
"Being close to Fang Lanxin and being with Fang Lanxin is the life I yearn for, it is my choice, and I will absolutely never change it."
After Guan Yu firmly said this, he picked up the lunchbox again and began to eat heartily.
He needs to eat well and sleep well now, and get better quickly. He doesn't want to see Fang Lanxin's beautiful eyes always filled with heartache and tears for him.
Grandpa Guan has been with his younger brother since he was a child, but today, sitting here, he suddenly feels that he has never really understood his younger brother.
He didn't know what was wrong, but seeing Guan Yu like this, he felt very uncomfortable, and in the end, he still sighed.
"Alright, then go stick to your choice and live the life you want. Leave things at home to me!"
