Chapter 142 Unexpected
Guan Yu was dumbfounded on the spot: "What...what do you mean by that? When did I ever want to harm you?"
“If we had no relationship whatsoever, that would be fine, but you've made it so high-profile that not only the Guan and Huo families, but the entire city of Hong Kong knows about our relationship. At this time, you're aggressively seizing the Huo family's assets. Have you ever thought about my situation?”
"Guan Er, have you ever considered how I feel seeing you like this?"
As Fang Lanxin spoke, she became somewhat helpless.
If Fang Lanxin hadn't witnessed this man's feelings for her in her previous life, she would have already turned on him and fought back!
Guan Yu hadn't really thought that much about it before, but now that he heard these words, he felt completely disoriented. He looked at Fang Lanxin in disbelief, belatedly realizing what was happening.
"No, no, I really didn't!"
"I didn't think that much about it. I just wanted to get these things so I could start my own business and be with you openly and honestly. I..."
Although Guan Yu was not young, he was a complete novice when it came to matters of the heart. He didn't mean it; it was just a habit of only thinking of himself, so he never considered Fang Lanxin.
"So what are you thinking about?"
"Guan Er, I asked you to keep our relationship a secret, but you insisted on being so high-profile. Now... what am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to face people now?"
"Do you know that in their eyes I'm a traitor who empties his family's coffers for his lover? Do you understand?"
Fang Lanxin became increasingly furious as she spoke, and slapped Guan Yu across the face before turning and leaving.
The Lantern Festival, which should have been a joyous occasion, suddenly turned into an awkward one.
Guan Yu hadn't really thought that much about it before, but now, hearing Fang Lanxin say this, he felt even worse and hurriedly stepped forward: "No, Lanxin, let me explain!"
Unfortunately, Fang Lanxin didn't listen to his explanation and simply gave him the cold shoulder.
Helpless, Guan Yu could only sit silently at Fang Lanxin's door and begin to reflect on what he had done during this period. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Not to mention Fang Lanxin, he even wanted to strangle himself!
This was done in such a high-profile and hasty manner that no one considered the impact it would have, nor did they realize the predicament Fang Lanxin would be in because of it.
"Alan, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."
"Don't worry, I'll go back right now and I'll handle this. I promise I won't let you lose face!"
As he spoke, Guan Yu stood up and walked outside.
He's an adult, so he naturally knows that an apology should be put into action, and solving the problem is the most important thing.
Fang Lanxin stood by the window, watching Guan Yu's hurried steps, her eyebrows tightly furrowed, and finally felt a little relieved.
She was indeed angry, angry that Guan Yu, at his advanced age, was still so careless in his actions, but she also felt sorry for him, knowing that it must have been very difficult for him to live in such an environment.
However, Fang Lanxin quickly realized what was going on, her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she snorted, "It's clearly his own fault for not doing things properly, why are you feeling sorry for him!"
After saying that, Fang Lanxin threw herself onto the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, early morning.
After getting up, Fang Lanxin suppressed all her emotions and returned to her studio to continue working.
Even Ah Shuang felt a chill run down her spine looking at Fang Lanxin's forced smile.
After several attempts, he finally spoke up, saying, "Boss, you don't have to smile if you're not happy. You're really scaring me."
"What's wrong with me?" Fang Lanxin looked at him coldly and said irritably, "Can't I even laugh?"
"It's fine, but your smile is really ugly. Boss, are you feeling uncomfortable? Are you feeling sad?" Ah Shuang looked at Fang Lanxin with some heartache. During this period, Ah Shuang could actually feel the changes in Fang Lanxin, but he couldn't be sure where these changes came from.
Fang Lanxin didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly and suppressed her smile.
Seeing this, Ah Shuang sighed and then said, "Boss, yesterday, Young Master Bang and Miss Ya Ya came, but they didn't come in. They glanced at you and then turned and left. I don't know what happened."
What? They're here?
Fang Lanxin looked at A Shuang with some surprise and disbelief: "Why didn't you remind me?"
"Boss, are you really willing to see them?" Ah Shuang looked at Fang Lanxin with a puzzled expression: "You always didn't want to see them before, but I saw that you were unusually relaxed yesterday, so I didn't say anything."
Ah Shuang didn't care whether Huo Qibang and Huo Siya were happy or not. In the end, the only person Ah Shuang really cared about was Fang Lanxin.
Fang Lanxin naturally knew that this was a sign of care and favoritism towards her. She sighed and then said, "Actually, it's not that I don't want to see them, it's just that I don't know what I should say after seeing them. It seems that we are getting further and further apart now. After all, the two children are getting older and older. Parents always have to learn to let go, don't they?"
Ah Shuang leaned back in the chair and said sullenly, "I don't know what other people think, but I hope that when I'm seventy or eighty years old, my parents will still be by my side. Boss, I think you might have misunderstood something. Maybe Bang Shao didn't mean it that way."
Fang Lanxin looked up at A Shuang, but didn't say anything. She just silently lowered her head and continued to look at the documents in her hand.
At this moment, Ah Shuang belatedly realized that she had really said the wrong thing.
He immediately stood up and looked at Fang Lanxin apologetically: "Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way, I..."
What do you mean by "I don't care what you do"?
"As long as I'm happy."
Fang Lanxin smiled and looked at A Shuang.
“I used to always strive to do my best, but now I understand that there is no such thing as ‘best’ in this world. It’s impossible for everyone to be perfect. So why don’t I do my best for myself?”
"No one says that a mother can only live for her children, right?"
Ah Shuang had never heard such a thing before, but she felt that it made a lot of sense.
He nodded: "I think so too. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Actually, for the past twenty years, I've always felt that you've had a really tough time. Back when you were in the Fang family, weren't you showered with love and affection?"
