Chapter 178 Waiting for You
Guan Da looked at his old father with a sense of despair, wondering if it was because he had lived too comfortably in the past few years that he was now suffering like this at his age!
Putting everything else aside, there's practically no one who can hold their father and brother back!
I thought having a younger brother was troublesome enough, but I never expected to have an even more difficult father!
Seeing his father like this, Guan sighed and said, "Dad, let it go. You're so old. Let's calm down and live our own lives."
"The key problem now is that they won't let us live a peaceful life!"
"Are you even my son? How can you be so spineless?"
Old Master Guan never expected that, at this point, Guan Da would actually come to persuade him.
He was furious at Guan Da's appearance and said irritably, "Get out! You get out too! You're no good either, so get out of here!"
Guan Da is now eager to get out of here.
After hearing those words, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
Sure enough, Guan Da had just stepped out the door when he saw his younger brother waiting for him with his arms crossed.
His eyebrows furrowed tightly, and then he said irritably, "What are you doing here?"
"I don't need to do anything, I know you'll definitely get yelled at, so I'll just wait for you here."
"Brother, come with me, I have something to tell you."
Guan Er pulled Guan Da along and they went back to their ward.
"Brother, you've seen the situation. What do you think we should do now?"
Guan Er crossed his arms and stared longingly at Guan Da.
"What do you mean 'we should do what'? Shouldn't you be the one to handle this? Do you think I'm at fault?" Guan Da frowned and looked at Guan Er with some displeasure.
In the end, the rest of the Guan family suffered an undeserved misfortune, didn't they?
"However, I still believe that the most important thing right now is to stop the internal strife and losses within the Guan family!"
"Could you call Fang Lanxin?"
Guan Da rubbed his temples, still feeling that if things continued like this, the situation between the two families would only get worse.
Seeing Guan Da's worried expression, Guan Er shrugged and said calmly, "The total loss is less than 100 million, which our Guan family can afford. Besides, this is what we should bear, don't you think?"
"What do you mean by 'should bear'?" Guan Qi stood up abruptly, but then remembered what his father had done, so he reluctantly sat back down.
He sighed and rubbed his throbbing temples: "I really don't understand what's wrong with Dad. Why would he resort to such a method? Putting aside how much harm it will cause, it's shameful, and most importantly, it's utterly disgraceful!"
"It's impressive that you even realize how shameful this is!"
"Alright, don't worry, Fang Lanxin won't make us lose any more money, but I don't know what she'll make us lose next."
"But I've made up my mind. I'm going to take this opportunity to start my own business and go it alone!"
Guan Er stared into his elder brother's eyes and spoke with righteous indignation.
Now, Guan Da's anxiety, which had been hanging in suspense, finally subsided.
Actually, from the very beginning when Guan Da knew that Guan Er was with Fang Lanxin, he knew that this would happen sooner or later, but Guan Da really didn't expect it to happen at this time.
Isn't this just adding fuel to the fire?
He was speechless. He got up and strode outside.
The next morning, Guan Er personally handled his discharge procedures and then drove directly to the villa on the hillside.
He originally wanted to explain to Fang Lanxin in person, but unexpectedly, he found that Fang Lanxin was not at the villa at all, but had gone to the art gallery.
Helpless, Guan Er could only turn to the art gallery.
Fang Lanxin doesn't care about what's happening outside; she just focuses on painting.
She glanced up casually and saw Guan Er standing at the door of her studio, arms crossed, quietly watching her.
Fang Lanxin's originally calm heart suddenly became restless.
She took a deep breath, put down her paintbrush, and walked over.
Although the distance from the studio to the door wasn't particularly far, Fang Lanxin's mind was racing with countless thoughts. She couldn't tell whether Guan Er had come to talk about love or to settle scores later.
However, Fang Lanxin is capable of handling either outcome, so she'll take it or leave it.
Seeing that Fang Lanxin's steps had become somewhat hesitant, Guan Er took the initiative to come forward and hugged Fang Lanxin.
"You were just protecting your child, you did nothing wrong."
A simple sentence, yet it left Fang Lanxin somewhat devastated.
She hugged Guan Er, sighed, and then said, "Have I caused you any trouble?"
"No."
Guan Er gently touched Fang Lanxin's cheek.
"Everything you did was what you were supposed to do; you didn't cause me any trouble!"
"That's good."
Guan Er smiled gently, lowered his head, and kissed Fang Lanxin.
"Our family was at fault to begin with. Don't worry, I will definitely give you justice."
Fang Lanxin's mind was in turmoil, but after hearing these words, she finally calmed down.
She waved her hand at Guan Er and said calmly, "This is not a matter between you and me, but a matter between me and the Guan family. If I want justice, I will ask for it myself. I don't need you to give it to me."
Guan Er simply cannot provide justice.
Seeing Fang Lanxin like this, Guan Er felt wronged and said in a low voice with his head down, "Can't I even help you?"
“You can help me with anything else, but this time, your family is on the opposite side.”
“I don’t need you to stand against your family for my sake, that’s too naive.”
Family is family, blood relatives, and Fang Lanxin would never let Guan Erye choose between his family and her.
She's a mature woman in her forties; she wouldn't do something so childish.
"I'm here today to tell you that I'm on your side, whether you need it or not."
"I'm going to go solo soon."
Guan Er looked at Fang Lanxin very seriously.
There are some things Fang Lanxin may not need, but his attitude must be clear!
Besides, he has been living a very painful life at home all these years. At his age, it's time for him to live the life he wants and no longer want to be controlled by others!
