Chapter 395: The Upper Beam is Crooked, the Lower Beam is Crooked
The living room of the Xu family's main building.
Old Master Xu sat on the main chair, holding the teacup and slowly blew on the tea leaves, then took a sip of the tea in the cup.
On the sofa to his left, Fang Yun sat in an elegant posture, his hands folded on his knees, his eyes quietly looking at the two people opposite him.
Xu Tingfeng was with her, but his gaze was focused solely on Han Xi.
On the sofa opposite, Han Xi and Fang Li sat side by side. Fang Li, who had dodged before, still couldn't escape and was called back.
At this moment, he was sitting there obediently with his head down, with the maximum distance between him and Han Xi that the sofa could bear.
Han Xi was dissatisfied but he did not show it on his face. He remained calm and silent.
Sitting on the single sofa opposite the old man was Xu Fangye, who had been called back. Not only him, but also Xu Chengchuan, who happened to be back in Haicheng on business, was there.
He was still wearing his police uniform, sitting on the armrest of Xu Fangye's sofa with his arms folded across his chest, looking as if he was leisurely watching a show.
"Master Han?"
As soon as Fang Yun opened his mouth, Han Xi immediately raised his eyes and looked over.
"Aunt, you can call me Han Xi or Xiu Jin."
"Your father is Han Ming?"
Look at Xu Tingfeng again, his style changed instantly as soon as he opened his mouth.
Even Han Xi was a little confused between the two styles.
He held his breath slightly, and said calmly, "Yes, uncle should have seen him."
Xu Tingfeng smiled coldly, "Don't talk about him, you have seen him too!"
“.......”
"If I had known you would kidnap my daughter one day, I would have crushed you to death back in the Haichang Road villa area!"
"Dad." Xu Fangye interrupted, "He's a Han family member after all. Crushing him to death is a bit too much."
"Shut up!"
Xu Tingfeng glared at Xu Fangye angrily, "I'll settle your score with you later. You can't even protect your sister, and you still have the nerve to talk nonsense with me here!"
"I......."
Xu Fangye wanted to say something, but Xu Chengchuan beside him nudged him silently and whispered, "If you want to watch the show, talk less."
“........”
Fang Yun: "Thanks to Young Master Han for liking our Guobao. The Han family has a distinguished family background and abundant assets. In terms of being well-matched, your Han family and our Xu family are a good match, but..."
"Since ancient times, a girl's marriage has been arranged by her parents and matchmaker. Although Guobao and you have obtained a marriage certificate, we haven't received the approval of our elders, so whether this marriage counts as a marriage or not is still up for discussion."
Xu Tingfeng: "Ayun said this to save your face. Don't think that just because you are a member of the Han family, our Xu family will happily accept you. Let me tell you, just because your father is Han Ming, I look down on you!"
Han Xi frowned slightly, "Between my uncle and my father..."
"Stop talking nonsense. Your father and I have nothing to do with each other. I simply despise your father's behavior."
“.......”
Xu Tingfeng propped himself up on his knees, staring at Han Xi with sharp eyes. "Don't think I don't know why your father brought you to Haicheng for a short stay. It's one thing to be fickle before marriage, but even cheating on his wife and threatening her during marriage—that's something a man could do!"
Han Xi: "My father is indeed wrong in this matter."
Xu Tingfeng: "One wrong word and you're done for? If the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. With a father like that, there's no guarantee that I won't end up like him one day."
"Our Guobao has been raised in the palm of our hands since childhood. We have everything. Our Xu family has both family background and wealth. There is no need for us to go to your Han family and suffer the grievances and risks!"
"dad.......!"
Seeing Han Xi being questioned by his parents one after another, Fang Li finally couldn't help but speak.
Xu Tingfeng glanced at her and said, "What's wrong? Your mother and I have been here for a long time and you didn't call for help. Now that we've said something to this kid, he can't help it?"
“…I…I didn’t.”
"Without you, why have we been......"
Seeing Fang Li with her head down and her hands clasped together, Fang Yun pulled the corner of Xu Tingfeng's clothes at the right time.
Xu Tingfeng immediately fell silent and looked at his wife beside him.
Fang Yun: "Speaking of which, neither you nor I have the right to blame Guo Bao. Ting Feng, you and I have been traveling around the world for these years. Has anyone of us ever truly cared about Guo Bao?"
Xu Tingfeng frowned.
Fang Yun suddenly stood up: "Guobao, come in with mom."
“........”
"Tingfeng, you come too."
The family of three walked towards the guest rooms at the back one after another.
Only the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren plus Han Xi were left in the living room.
Without Fang Yun, the atmosphere seemed to become much more muddy. The four of them looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.
Xu Fangye seemed to be browsing his phone, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Han Xi sitting on the sofa.
Now that there was a seat, Xu Chengchuan moved to sit on the sofa opposite Han Xi, picked up a grape from the coffee table and held it in his hand, glancing back and forth between his grandfather and Han Xi.
Suddenly, Xu Fangye thought of something and said, "Brother-in-law, I heard that you cook very well?"
Mr. Xu finally raised his eyebrows and looked over: "Oh? Really?"
Han Xi nodded slightly: "A little bit."
"That's perfect."
The old man spoke in a long voice, pointing to the kitchen with a smile, "Guo Bao's father also likes to study cooking. There are many people today, so you can make lunch. Ask her father to make two dishes later so that everyone can taste and see which of you has better cooking skills."
"Of course I can't compare to my uncle, as long as grandpa doesn't mind."
Han Xi responded and stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Xu Fangye called from behind: "Brother-in-law, do you need my help?"
"Mr. Xu, please feel free to do so."
"No, okay, then I'll wait to taste Mr. Han's cooking!"
Xu Chengchuan chuckled, "Grandpa, look at him."
Xu Qingrang: "What's so good about a good-for-nothing like that?"
Xu Fangye: "Hey, I......!"

Guest room.
The heavy wooden door was gently pushed open, and Fang Yun walked slowly to the bed and stopped.
Fang Li followed carefully behind. Xu Tingfeng strode in behind her and closed the door.
Seeing her mother sitting down beside the bed with a pale face, Fang Li's fingers tightened, her heart skipped a beat, and she felt inexplicably panicked.
"Fruit Treasure."
Fang Yun's voice was as gentle as the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, yet it carried an irresistible majesty. "I won't ask about your relationship with Young Master Han for now. I just want to ask you one question: do you like him?"
Fang Li paused, then slowly walked over and sat on the stool at the end of the bed beside her mother's legs: "I like it."
Xu Tingfeng stood aside with his hands on his hips and snorted, "How can that brat coax you? You don't know what kind of person his father is. Like father, like son. This kind of person is the most untrustworthy. What's there to like about him?"
Fang Li frowned: "Dad, he is different from his father!"
Xu Tingfeng's eyes widened: "How do you know it's different?!"
Fang Li pursed her lips and paused before saying, "Does father think you are the same as grandfather?"
