Chapter 16 Dry Wood and Raging Fire
Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow and looked at Huo Qibang without saying a word. Her presence was so imposing that Huo Qibang subconsciously took a step back.
"Mom, I'm sorry."
Kenneth Fok immediately bowed his head and apologized.
"You are now the head of the Huo family, and you should manage the entire Huo family well."
Fang Lanxin said this, picked up her suitcase, and strode outside.
Having given away everything she could, Fang Lanxin only wanted to live for herself for the rest of her life!
Her talent should not be buried in the Huo Group and the Huo family's inner quarters.
Watching Fang Lanxin's retreating figure, Huo Qibang felt a pang of grievance and looked at Huo Fu beside him: "Uncle Fu, what's wrong with my mother?"
"Madam has indeed been acting strangely lately."
"However, Madam is only doing this for Young Master's own good, so Young Master can rest assured."
Huo Fu chuckled softly, then turned and went downstairs.
Seeing this, Huo Qibang became even more puzzled, and even forgot what he originally wanted to say to Fang Lanxin.
The news of Fang Lanxin moving out of the Huo family quickly spread throughout Hong Kong, and Guan Erye naturally received the news as well.
He was somewhat surprised, and sat on the leather sofa, elegantly crossing his legs, staring at the morning paper.
"Mrs. Huo is something else; even moving house makes a huge fuss."
Steward Wang stepped forward, looking at Master Guan with some concern.
"I heard that the Huo family has been undergoing sweeping reforms lately, and now President Fang has moved out of the Huo family mansion. Is this a sign?"
Signal?
Guan Erye only knows that his mouth and throat are still aching. In these two meetings, Guan Erye can also feel that Fang Lanxin has undergone some subtle changes, but her changes are not abrupt. The two of them grew up together since childhood, so he knows Fang Lanxin very well. She looks exactly the same as she did before she got married.
She'd been a wooden puppet in the Huo family for decades, so how did she suddenly become so perceptive?
"Prepare the car, let's go to the hillside villa."
Guan Yu chuckled, put down the newspaper in his hand, straightened his clothes, and strode outside.
Hillside villa.
This place was a birthday gift from Fang Lanxin's family before her marriage. She had never been here since marrying into the Huo family. Now, revisiting this familiar place, she even felt as if she had become much younger.
Every painting here was painted by her own hands when she was young, and looking at them now feels very familiar.
"The decor here is quite interesting."
Ling Ye walked in carrying two large suitcases, looked around, and then snorted.
He put the box on the ground, then quickly and skillfully began to remove the white cloths from the furniture, his movements fluid and stylish.
Seeing this, Fang Lanxin nodded in satisfaction. Although this child was usually rebellious and disobedient, he was quite perceptive at crucial moments!
Before long, the maids that Fang Lanxin had arranged arrived and began tidying up the room.
"Are you deliberately playing me?"
Ling Ye was so angry that he threw down the rag in his hand, stepped forward fiercely, and glared at Fang Lanxin through gritted teeth.
Fang Lanxin smiled, casually wiping the dust off his face, and said lightly, "Yes, it was intentional. Do you have any complaints?"
"I!"
Ling Ye gritted his teeth, about to lose his temper, but for some reason, when he met Fang Lanxin's calm and composed eyes, all his anger vanished in an instant!
He frowned, looking at Fang Lanxin with confusion: "You!"
"Get to work."
Fang Lanxin withdrew her hand, completely ignoring his anger, and sat elegantly on the sofa. The maid quickly stepped forward, took a bowl of bird's nest soup, and handed it to Fang Lanxin.
"Hmm, it tastes good."
Fang Lan nodded in satisfaction, then, after only taking a sip of the bird's nest soup, she handed it to Ling Ye with a fresh and clean expression.
"You've worked hard too, have something to eat and nourish yourself?"
Ling Ye was initially furious, but upon seeing the lipstick mark on the bowl, he suddenly blushed and almost instinctively reached out to take the bowl of bird's nest, obediently taking a sip.
He came from a humble background and had never tasted such a precious thing before, so he didn't know whether it tasted good or not; he only found it very sweet.
"Mrs. Huo is in quite a good mood!"
"The city is in chaos because of you, and you're here playing the 'keeping a mistress in a gilded cage' trick?"
Guan Yu's cold, sharp voice rang out, even carrying a hint of anger.
He strode in, then his eyes swept over Ling Ye like sharp blades, and he snorted coldly.
"Mrs. Huo has terrible taste."
Ling Ye finally understood what Guan Yu meant.
His expression immediately changed, and he slammed the bird's nest in his hand down at Guan Yu's feet, the sticky bird's nest staining Guan Yu's handmade leather shoes.
"Who are you calling a gigolo!"
Ling Ye clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he stared at Guan Yu.
Even though the two were almost twenty years apart, Guan Yu was in no way inferior to Ling Ye. In fact, with more than ten years of experience, his mature aura was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.
"Cough cough."
Seeing that the two were really about to start arguing, Fang Lanxin coughed.
She sat on the sofa, elegantly crossing her legs, and raised an eyebrow at Guan Yu: "Master Guan, you're so old, why are you still arguing with a child?"
“I’m not a child.” Ling Ye raised an eyebrow and looked at Fang Lanxin: “I’m eighteen!”
Only children repeatedly mention their own names.
Fang Lanxin couldn't help but smile, then said calmly, "Go and rest."
Ling Ye snorted reluctantly, "What's so great about it?"
After saying that, he turned around and left, his back view exuding rebelliousness.
"When did Mr. Fang change his tastes?"
Guan Yu sat down next to Fang Lanxin without a care in the world, pressing close to her dress, his displeasure evident in his eyes.
"What, you're not calling me Mrs. Huo anymore?"
Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow, crossed her arms, and just stared at Guan Yu.
"Second Master, you're so old, why are you still arguing with a kid?"
Fang Lanxin knew that age was a weakness for Guan Yu, so she deliberately said those words to see his reaction.
Sure enough, Guan Yu's expression immediately changed. He gritted his teeth and moved closer, closing the distance between them, and stared at Fang Lanxin.
"Mr. Fang, you're feeling a bit romantic, why don't you consider it?"
Guan Yu raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping aggressively over Fang Lanxin's lips, exuding a powerful sense of pressure. The surrounding air seemed to instantly become scorching hot.
Fang Lanxin's gaze also fell on Guan Erye's lips. She smiled slightly, quickly hooked her arms around Guan Erye's neck, and kissed the lips she had longed for.
"Hmm!"
"you!"
Guan Yu was quite frightened. He pushed Fang Lanxin away and frowned at her.
