Chapter 416 The smell is too strong
The person who can best understand her son's feelings is his mother Lin Wenfang.
No one knew better than her how miserable her son's life had been over the years, and how much she wanted to squeeze out her son and take charge of the Han family again.
But, Han Xi seemed to be born to defeat his father Han Ming.
Since he returned to China, Han Ming has not had a happy day in his life.
Seeing Han Ming's lips turning purple from anger, Lin Wenfang glanced meaningfully at the tall and stern Han Xi, patted the back of Han Ming's hand, and said:
"Okay, let's talk about it later. Don't forget why we are here today."
-
Fang Li and Han Xi led the way, and the other three followed behind as they walked towards the main building.
Before I even reached the door, I heard laughter coming from inside.
The expression on Han Ming's face instantly became darker.
Then, the three of them stepped into the living room of the main building, and Fang Li said in a clear voice: "Grandpa, Mom and Dad, people are here."
The laughter in the living room suddenly stopped.
In an instant, the eyes of the people in the living room and the people standing at the door met, and the smiles on everyone's faces, which they had no time to hide, disappeared little by little in front of Han Ming and the others.
"Xiao Han, I haven't seen you for many years. I hope you are doing well."
Xu Qingrang's old but majestic voice came, and Han Ming looked towards the window.
Although the old man in front of him looked much older than he was twenty years ago, his aura was becoming more and more profound. Just one glance at him and the little hope in Han Ming's heart was completely shattered.
It’s the Xu family, it’s actually the Haicheng Xu family.
"Uncle Xu."
Now that everyone is here, we naturally can't just let them stand at the door.
Lunch had been prepared long ago, and at Xu Qingrang's suggestion, everyone moved to the restaurant nearby.
At the huge dining table, three old men sat at the main seats, with people from the Xu and Han families sitting on their left and right.
Xu Qingrang and Han Guodong seemed to have endless topics to talk about. In the intervals between the servants serving the dishes, the two kept chatting about old times in the army.
Looking at Lin Wenfang next to Han Guodong, although he was also an elder, he just sat there with a gloomy face and couldn't get a word in.
Han Ming next to him was the same as her, his face was as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, and it was hard to tell that he was here to discuss marriage for his son.
When Han Ming came down, it was Shen Ruyan who should have been there, but the one sitting in that position was Han Shiyu.
Xu Fangye on the opposite side was speechless.
He glanced at Fang Li next to him, and Fang Li shook her head secretly at him.
Han Xi was on Fang Li's left, and Shen Ruyan was sitting next to Han Xi.
Han Xi's face didn't look very good either, but fortunately Shen Ruyan had been sitting down and holding his hand, trying to keep him calm.
Soon, all the dishes were served.
Fang Yun glanced at the mother and son opposite him with a calm expression, and suddenly said, "Ruyan, why are you sitting with the children? Come and sit with me."
Xu Qingrang stood up tactfully and made room for Shen Ruyan.
Han Xi also whispered, "Go."
Shen Ruyan's eyes flickered slightly, and there was a hint of moisture in her eyes, but she was smiling.
After Shen Ruyan went over and sat down next to Fang Yun, Xu Fangye came over with a lazy look on his face and sat down in Shen Ruyan's original seat.
However, as soon as he sat down, he pulled the bench towards Han Xi and squeezed in: "Move over a little, give me some space."
Han Xi looked at him in confusion.
Xu Fangye frowned: "The smell is too strong, I'm afraid I can't eat. Hurry up."
“.......”
When saying this, Xu Fangye did not avoid people at all.
Look at Han Shiyu next to him, her face has turned green with anger.
Fang Li glared at Xu Fangye helplessly, but still pulled the bench and moved closer to Shen Ruyan.
Just like that, among the people who were originally sitting peacefully, there was an obvious gap between Xu Fangye and Han Shiyu.
Han Shiyu seemed to have some kind of poisonous aura that made it difficult to approach. Xu Fangye simply sat sideways, facing Han Xi, and turned his back on Han Shiyu in front of everyone.
-
"Okay, the dishes are all here, let's eat first."
As Xu Qingrang spoke, the sound of dishes colliding could be heard on the table.
The silent meal lasted for more than half an hour. Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Xu Qingrang, who had put down his chopsticks a long time ago, finally spoke.
"I think everyone knows why we're gathered here today. Deep down, I wasn't very willing to get married."
Xu Qingrang's words made everyone at the table look different.
Lian Fangli and Han Xi looked over nervously.
Xu Qingrang continued, "Guo Bao is the treasure of our family. Her parents and I have always wanted her to find someone compatible with her from a prominent family in Haicheng. Who would have thought that after a trip to the capital, she would fall for Han Xiaozi."
Han Guodong: "This is their fate, Old Xu. Judging from your tone, do you still look down on our Xiu Jin?"
Xu Qingrang looked at Han Xi's Fang Li, smiled and sighed: "Xiu Jin is a good child, and he is a good match for our Guo Bao. But the capital is too far away. If something happens to Guo Bao, we writers will be unable to help."
Han Guodong patted Xu Qingrang's shoulder and said with a smile: "You are wrong. Fang Li is a member of our Han family after marrying into the Han family. We can't say that it is our Han family's territory in the capital, but not everyone dares to touch the Han family. With the Han family here, what can go wrong when Fang Li marries in?"
Xu Qingrang just smiled and said nothing.
Xu Fangye on the opposite side sneered and said leisurely, "What if someone from the Han family wants to harm my sister?"
With just one sentence, the expressions of everyone at the table changed instantly.
Worried about Xu Qingrang's health, Xu Fangye never told him what happened to Fang Li in the capital, and the entire old house has been deliberately isolated from news from the capital and the Internet.
But who is Xu Qingrang?
He founded the Xu family and although he has retreated behind the scenes for so many years and handed over all the company affairs to Xu Fangye, it does not mean that he is completely in the dark and knows nothing about what is happening outside.
On the contrary, before dinner, Xu Fangye privately told Fang Yun and Xu Tingfeng about what had happened to Fang Li recently in the capital. Only then did they learn that their daughter had suffered so much injustice.
Xu Tingfeng looked at Han Ming opposite him with a bad look and said in a cold voice: "My daughter has never suffered any grievances in the Xu family for so many years. I didn't expect that after going to the capital, she would be bullied again and again!"
Han Ming's face looked a little ugly, his eyes flickering and avoiding, "No one is bullying Miss Xu, there must be a misunderstanding here."
"Misunderstand?"
Xu Tingfeng has a bad temper, and his wife and daughter are his trigger points.
Hearing Han Ming's tone, Xu Tingfeng exploded directly. He sneered and didn't give Han Ming any face. He said bluntly: "Being maliciously slandered is a misunderstanding? The actors in the crew almost died there, which is also a misunderstanding!"
Han Ming frowned and said nothing.
Han Shiyu, who was standing by, couldn't help but clench her palms and lowered her head nervously.
Only then did Han Guodong realize something was amiss and frowned, "What crew member almost died?"
Xu Tingfeng: "Why don't you ask your son or granddaughter?"
