Chapter 419: Marry into the Family
"child?"
Xu Tingfeng was dumbfounded: "What child?"
When I looked at Xu Qingrang and Xu Fangye, I saw that both of them had their eyes downcast and were silent, with no surprise on their faces.
Xu Tingfeng's eyes widened in shock and he almost jumped up in anger.
"You, you mean you have already..."
Fang Li pursed her lips and said nothing, but her hand rested lightly on her lower abdomen.
Xu Tingfeng suppressed the anger rising in his throat, and his face turned red.
"Guo Bao, are you really... pregnant?"
Fang Yun also frowned and looked at his daughter with a little worry.
Fang Li's heart trembled, but she lowered her eyes and nodded seriously.
Now, Xu Tingfeng couldn't say the words about divorce at all. He sat silently on the sofa opposite with a sullen face, grabbing his knees in frustration.
Fang Yun: "How long?"
Fang Li said timidly, "More than a month, I just found out."
"More than a month?" Xu Qingrang was puzzled. "Didn't you say more than two months a few days ago?"
Fang Li panicked and almost exposed herself.
I quickly explained, "I miscalculated. There's only one week left until two months."
"......" Xu Qingrang glanced at Fang Li sharply, but didn't say anything else.
Fang Yun stood up and walked over to Fang Li, asking, "Does the Han family know that you're pregnant?"
Fang Li shook her head: "Han Xi and I don't plan to tell them now. They don't know."
"Don't tell them yet! Now that you're pregnant, we have to reconsider this matter."
Xu Tingfeng suddenly said, "The kid from the Han family will be here soon. We can ask him. If he's willing to marry into the family, then the marriage will go ahead. If he's not willing, our Xu family can still raise a child!"
"Marry into the wife's family?"
Not to mention Fang Li, even Xu Fangye looked stunned.
"Dad, Han Xi is the head of the Han family after all. Isn't it inappropriate for him to marry into the family?"
He glanced at Fang Li, and said with a lazy smile: "Besides, our Xu family has no shortage of sons, so why would we need someone else to marry into our family?"
"You think I would!"
Xu Tingfeng looked at Fang Li angrily, then quickly lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.
"If you hadn't failed to take good care of your sister, we wouldn't be in such a passive position now. At this point, there is only one way out. If that kid from the Han family doesn't want to, tell him to get out of here as soon as possible!"
-
Han Xi had just settled Han Guodong and others out of the hotel when he received a call from Xu Fangye.
"Brother-in-law, you're done."
This sentence made Han Xi frown.
Xu Fangye: "My parents also know that my sister is pregnant, but now they firmly disagree with my sister marrying him because of all the mess in your family. They insist on taking my sister and you to go through the divorce procedures."
"Oh, by the way, my dad said that it's okay not to divorce. As long as you are willing to marry into our family and only be the son-in-law of our Xu family, he can keep your marriage."
"Okay, I agree."
These four words shocked Xu Fangye so much that he just stood there in a daze.
"What did you say?"
Han Xi's low voice came from the other end of the phone. Because the speakerphone was on, everyone in the living room could hear it clearly.
Han Xi repeated: "I said, I agree to marry into the family."
".......you?"
For the first time, Xu Fangye didn't know how to respond and looked at his parents helplessly.
Xu Tingfeng was also surprised. He didn't expect that this kid would actually agree.
The living room was quiet, and Han Xi's voice came again: "Grandpa, uncle and aunt."
This time, Xu Tingfeng was even more surprised.
Did he know they were there too?
The three of them looked at each other and then at the cell phones on the coffee table.
"Although Han Shiyu's actions were all her own, her last name is Han after all. It was my fault for not controlling her properly and allowing her to hurt Ah Li. I will take full responsibility for this matter. Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory explanation soon."
Fang Li looked at her phone with sore eyes.
Han Xi continued, "Our family is indeed quite complicated. Ever since I returned to China and took over the Han family, I have been cleaning up the entire Han family. However, my father and uncles are the founders of the Han family after all. It may take me some time to completely eradicate them."
"But I promise that from now on, I will never let anyone in the Han family hurt Ah Li again. If you're worried and need me to marry into your family, that's fine. I can make a statement tomorrow, but I will never divorce Ah Li."
Han Xi's firm voice stopped, and the Xu family fell completely silent.
Fang Yun looked at her husband and sighed helplessly.
"Xiu Jin, your uncle was just joking with you about marrying into your wife's family. You're a good child. We know the relationship between you and Guo Bao, especially since Guo Bao is pregnant now. As elders, we can't really force you to separate."
Seeing her husband anxiously winking at her, Fang Yun ignored him and continued, "How about this, you take care of your family affairs first. When everything is settled, we can discuss your marriage with Guo Bao."
"......." Han Xi stood at the door of the hotel holding his cell phone, looking cold and serious.
"We won't stop you from meeting Guobao, but Jingcheng Guobao can't go back for the time being."
Fang Li heard this and grabbed her mother's hand in surprise: "Mom, I still have company matters to take care of, how can I not go back!"
"good."
Fang Yun held her hand down and said to Han Xi on the other end of the phone, "Don't tell your family about Guobao's pregnancy for now. You're busy with household chores and probably won't be able to take good care of her. It just so happens that his father and I are planning to come back and set up a new dance studio. We'll be in China for the time being, so Guobao will be in our care."
Fang Yun's voice sounded gentle, yet it carried a coldness that brooked no room for argument.
Han Xi listened, and his hand holding the phone tightened slightly, but in the end he didn't say anything, just one word.
"good."
-
The news of Fang Li's pregnancy spread throughout the Xu family in just one afternoon.
Xu Qingrang knew about it before, but he was worried that Fang Li's parents would not be able to accept the news, so he kept it a secret.
Now that everyone in the family knows about it, there’s no point in hiding it, so the family’s caution and worry are all on display.
"No, this carpet is still too thin. Go get a thicker one and make sure it's laid everywhere in the house."
"Qingfeng, tell the servants to be gentle when working next time, and be careful when preparing meals in the kitchen. Pregnant women must not be allowed to touch anything."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Hey! How could this thing appear here? Someone, move it away!"
"You guys, go and pick up all the stones in the yard. Oh, and there are steps leading to the corridor in the backyard. Remember to wrap up every corner."
"Isn't it time to prepare the baby's room?!"
"Yes, yes, Xiaoye, quickly contact the design team and the decoration team!"
Looking at her family members busying around, Fang Li sat alone on the sofa, helplessly holding her phone to send a message to Han Xi.
"When are you coming to pick me up? If you keep going like this, you'll be exposed sooner or later!"
Han Xi was in the car, and replied with a slight smile: "Don't be afraid, it will be quick."
