Chapter 392: Overconfidence
Before leaving, he glanced at his sister seemingly unintentionally.
Fang Li clenched her hands and closed her eyes with a look of despair.
Now, Xu Fangye became even more curious.
What happened that made grandpa so angry?
Could it be that the marriage was discovered?
That shouldn't be the case. He had already hinted at some information before, even if he didn't point it out explicitly. But with my grandfather's intelligence, he should have been able to guess that the two were already together.
You shouldn't be so angry just because of this!
Xu Fangye received the order and made a phone call in confusion.
Only Fang Li and the other two were left in the room, as well as... Uncle Hao who suddenly appeared.
The atmosphere is no different from a trial by three judges.
Fang Li couldn't help but said timidly: "Grandpa, actually..."
"Shut up."
Xu Qingrang gave Fang Li a look and she fell silent instantly.
Han Xi had a guess in his mind as soon as he saw it.
"This is my fault, Grandpa, please don't blame Ali."
I didn't expect Han Xi to take the initiative to speak up and take all the responsibility.
Xu Qingrang's gloomy face softened a little, but it immediately became stern the moment he looked at Han Xi.
"Your problem? So you admit it?"
"There's nothing I can't admit. I like Ah Li and I must be with her. It was wrong of me to hide it, and it's only right that Grandpa is angry."
"You are so frank. If you had known this would happen, why did you hide it from the beginning?"
"I used some tricks to get Ali to be with me. At that time, I didn't have the confidence that I could make her like me, so..."
"So, you have confidence now?"
Han Xi's expression paused slightly, then he looked up at Fang Li opposite him, his eyes soft, "Yes."
Xu Qingrang choked, and the anger that had just subsided suddenly rose again.
"Are you overconfident, kid? I don't care what's going on between you and Guo Bao, but your behavior of acting first and asking for your permission later clearly shows that you don't take our Xu family seriously. I'm telling you today, I don't agree with what you're doing!"
"grandfather......"
"Don't call me that! I'm Guobao's grandfather, not yours!"
Han Xi frowned slightly. "A-Li and I are already married. You are A-Li's grandfather, which means you are my grandfather as well."
"Stop telling me all this. You two got your marriage certificate in secret, and none of your family elders knew about it. This marriage doesn't count at all!"
Without waiting for Han Xi to say anything, Xu Qingrang continued, "I heard that your parents already know about your situation. Guo Bao's parents are coming back in a couple of days, so the two families should sit together and resolve this matter thoroughly."
Seeing that her grandfather seemed to have made up his mind and didn't give Han Xi any chance to explain, Fang Li couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Grandpa, please don't be like this."
"How dare you speak for this kid!"
Fang Li was helpless. "I'm not speaking for him. You... are a little too arbitrary."
"What did you say?"
Noticing Xu Qingrang's gaze, Fang Li lowered her head timidly: "You didn't even give Han Xi a chance to speak properly. He's really not what you think..."
“........”
Xu Qingrang finally understood what it meant that girls grow up to be unstoppable and turn their elbows outward.
He was so angry that his beard almost stood up, but when he saw his granddaughter's timid appearance, he managed to hold it back.
"Okay, you said I didn't give him a chance to speak, so I'll let him speak now."
Xu Qingrang looked at Han Xi solemnly and said, "Han boy, tell me now! I want to hear how you managed to deceive our Guobao!"
Han Xi's face was calm, but he took a deep breath in his heart.
He looked up at Fang Li and slowly began to recount the story of how they met and how quickly they got their marriage certificate, including everything that happened afterwards, even down to their childhood interactions.
Hearing this, Xu Qingrang was surprised and frowned.
"So, it's not Ali's fault. I deceived her and tied her to myself. If you are really angry and want to punish me, then punish me."
Xu Qingrang was silent for a moment.
Fang Li widened her eyes slightly, looking at the man in front of her in astonishment.
The room was quiet for a long time. I don't know whether Xu Qingrang was satisfied with Han Xi's honesty, or was moved by his feelings for Fang Li.
After a moment of silence, Xu Qingrang glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, it's wrong for you two to hide this from your family."
"I know."
"Forget it. What's the point of me saying so much? Guo Bao is completely focused on you now. You seem to be a responsible child. Let's leave it at that for now."
Han Xi's brows relaxed slightly.
Xu Qingrang suddenly said, "But don't be too happy too soon. Although Guobao's parents are away from home all year round, they love Guobao the most. Let them know that you not only secretly abducted their daughter, but also made her pregnant without even a wedding. You two still have a lot of work to do."
Han Xi frowned deeply.
"You said...pregnant?"
Even Han Xi, who usually keeps his emotions secret, suddenly showed a look of surprise when he heard these two words.
Xu Qingrang frowned, "You don't know?!"
Han Xi looked at Fang Li, and Fang Li quickly winked at him frantically.
Han Xi's tense heart paused slightly, and his brows furrowed slightly. "I know, I just didn't expect Grandpa to know about it too."
"Why, if Guo Bao hadn't let it slip, would you have kept it a secret from us?"
Han Xi lowered his eyes: "I dare not."
Xu Qingrang looked at his submissive appearance and said with a reluctant satisfaction, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Since Guobao is pregnant, you don't have to stay in a hotel. Let Xiaoye arrange a guest room for you and stay at home."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
---
After all, Xu Qingrang is old and injured.
After chatting for a while, his face gradually showed fatigue. Fang Li and Han Xi hurriedly helped him lie down. After instructing Uncle Hao, the two left the room and walked towards the front yard.
As soon as he went out, Xu Fangye leaned against the corridor outside.
"I heard everything you said just now, Guobao, are you really pregnant?"
Fang Li couldn't help but glance behind her and hurriedly pushed him forward: "Why are you asking so many questions? Grandpa asked you to help Han Xi arrange a guest room. It's getting late, let's go!"
"Slow down! You're pregnant and still making such a fuss!"
Xu Fangli was speechless. Could she say that she didn't?
Obviously, once a lie is told, it is completely out of one's control.
As soon as the three of them turned the corner of the corridor, Uncle Hao caught up with them from behind.
"Ono."
"Uncle Hao?"
Uncle Hao glanced at Han Xi and Fang Li and said, "Your grandfather said that the small building you live in is a bit cramped, so he asked you to arrange for the guests to stay in the guest courtyard next door. Go to bed early at night and don't wander around, especially don't disturb Guobao's sleep."
