Chapter 182 I like the way you say one thing and mean another
Throw away Sheng Qianrui, who had a stiff expression.
Han Xi's face was cold and hard as he pulled Fang Li into the car.
The company was very busy, so Lin Mo didn't come today, and Han Xi drove the car himself.
The two got into the car. Han Xi leaned over to help Fang Li fasten her seat belt, then started the car and turned around to drive away from the entrance of the cafe.
Fang Li glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Sheng Qianrui still standing there. The arrogance she had at the beginning was gone from her beautiful face, and she was only gloomy.
The distance between them was getting farther and farther, and her eyes were staring straight at the direction they left. Although the emotions in her eyes could not be seen clearly, it was not difficult to tell how angry she was at the moment from the aura emanating from her.
But, go to the hospital for a checkup...
It’s no wonder that the young lady who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth couldn’t stand it, thinking of Han Xi’s insulting words without using any dirty words.
Fang Li couldn't help it, she sat in the passenger seat and smiled softly with her lips pursed.
"What are you laughing at?" Han Xi concentrated on driving and took the time to glance at her and asked.
Fang Li frowned and turned to look at him: "As your childhood sweetheart, wasn't what you said just now a little too cruel?"
"Childhood sweetheart? Who?"
"Miss Sheng."
Han Xi glanced at her.
Fang Li laughed. "What's that look in your eyes? Miss Sheng told me herself that you grew up in the same compound when you were little, and President Sheng was particularly fond of you. Aren't you and Miss Sheng childhood sweethearts?"
"If living in the same courtyard as a child is considered childhood sweethearts, then my childhood sweethearts should be lined up from the Han family to the entrance of Huanyu International."
"so much?"
Seeing the deliberate teasing in the woman's eyes, Han Xi turned the steering wheel, braked slightly and quickly stopped by the roadside.
Fang Li was slightly startled, and then she saw the man put his hands on the steering wheel and looked at her sideways.
"You haven't even reached home yet, what are you doing?!"
Han Xi's deep eyes narrowed slightly, and waves surged in the depths of his eyes. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said, "What do you say? Of course, I want to discuss the meaning of the four words "childhood sweethearts" with you."
Fang Li: “…”
"Two people who grew up together are inseparable and are very close to each other. Sheng Qianrui and I are at most neighbors who have lived in the same yard for a few years."
"What about you and Mr. Sheng? Miss Sheng said that you and her father are close friends regardless of age. Mr. Sheng is so optimistic about you, so hasn't he ever thought of matching you with his daughter?"
"......" Han Xi didn't say anything.
Fang Li was surprised: "Really?"
"I don't want to lie to you."
Han Xi unbuckled his seatbelt, leaned over the center console, and reached out to hold her hand, saying, "Back when Han's was first established and its business was struggling, Sheng Jinghui invested some money. It was like timely help. Han's, especially my father, is deeply grateful for this favor."
"So, your father actually wanted to match you up with Sheng Qianrui?"
Han Xi's breathing stagnated slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Tell me first, are you jealous?"
“.......”
"Don't speak, agree?"
Fang Li lowered her eyes and curled her red lips: "Whatever you think."
"Ha ha......."
The man's magnetic laughter suddenly rang out in the car.
Fang Li had never heard him laugh so loudly before.
While still in a daze, his body was suddenly embraced by a wall of flesh that suddenly approached him.
Han Xi was very happy. He put half of his body over the center console and hugged Fang Li. His sharp jaw rested on her shoulder, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and there was a smile in his eyes.
"Ali, I really like you, especially when you say one thing and mean another."
Fang Li: “…” Do you like the way she says one thing and means another?
Is this a confession?
Why does it sound so awkward?
Fang Li twisted her body and tried to push him away.
Han Xi obviously didn't intend to make things difficult for her, and he easily let go of her hand according to her strength.
The two separated, but Han Xi's hand was still holding Fang Li's, less than half a foot apart, and their eyes met.
The man's deep eyes were filled with joy. Fang Li looked away awkwardly.
"Why are you staring at me?"
Han Xi just smiled and said nothing.
Fang Li frowned and reached out with one hand to gently push the handsome face in front of her, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go home."
Han Xi: "Don't you want to know if my father ever tried to match me up with Sheng Qianrui?"
"In no mood."
Hearing the obvious anger in the woman's voice, Han Xi's smile deepened.
He gently rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand and said, "No."
A hint of surprise flashed silently in Fang Li's slightly cold eyes.
"Want to know why?"
Han Xi's eyes are very beautiful. He is always calm and indifferent in front of outsiders, but when facing Fang Li, his emotions surge, like the vast universe formed by countless stars, with fragmented lights that can easily attract people to be deeply involved.
Fang Li looked at him quietly.
Then Han Xi said in a deep voice with a hint of sarcasm: "Because he is afraid of me."
......Not long after, the car parked on the side of the road started again, slowly merged into the traffic flow, and drove towards the Mid-Levels Manor.
Watching the street scene outside the car quickly receding, Fang Li's heart sank slightly, and the words Han Xi had just said kept echoing in her mind.
"Han's was founded by my mother and my father. Initially, Han's only had one jewelry brand, and my mother was the chief designer. Later, Han's jewelry became a national hit, and my mother became a favorite emerging designer with several international design awards. Since then, Han's has become the leader of the national jewelry industry."
Han Xi said that later his father Han Ming began to think about expanding the business.
What Han Xi's mother meant was that their brand had just established itself internationally, so they should proceed steadily and wait until their customer base was stable and Korean-style jewelry had a real say in the fashion world before considering entering other industries.
Unfortunately, Han Ming didn't listen at that time. He believed that Han's Jewelry was already influential enough. Moreover, his say in Han's Jewelry was not as strong as that of Han Xi's mother, the chief designer. He couldn't wait to prove himself, or to develop his own part of the industry.
It was because of that decision that Han’s Jewelry was almost brought down from its pedestal by another emerging jewelry company in the country.
This incident was the fuse that caused the conflict between Han Xi's father and mother.
Later, Han Xi was born.
The Han family also encountered an economic crisis due to Han Ming's over-expansion.
The conflict between Han Ming and Han Xi's mother became more and more serious. There were even many voices in the company saying that Han's current success was all thanks to Mrs. Han, and that Han Ming had no ability but still insisted on being strong, causing Han's Jewelry to suffer.
Naturally, all these words fell into Han Ming's ears.
As Han Ming encountered difficulties in attracting investment everywhere and the company's business continued to encounter problems, the problems between the couple also increased.
It wasn't until Han Xi was four years old that it finally broke out.
