Chapter 417 You Idiot!

Han Guodong's expression tightened, and he turned to look at Han Ming.

Han Ming sat there without saying a word, and Han Guodong's gaze slowly shifted from his face to Han Shiyu next to him.

Han Shiyu kept her head down, her eyes flickering, and it was clear that she was nervous about something.

Han Guodong understood immediately. A hint of anger flashed across his dignified face, and he slammed his hand on the table, shouting, "What exactly happened? Speak!"

Han Shiyu trembled with fright and looked pleadingly at Han Ming beside her.

Han Ming remained silent for a few seconds, his face hardening, before saying sheepishly, "It really was just a misunderstanding. It was done by a friend that Shi Yu just met. Shi Yu had no idea about it."

"..." Han Guodong is old, but he's not stupid.

Over the years, Han Shiyu has caused countless troubles, but in the end, Han Ming has always covered for her.

Judging from Han Ming's tone, he knew that this matter must be related to Han Shiyu again!

Han Guodong was so angry that he almost smashed the table. He clenched his fists on the table and his back teeth were clenched tightly. "Shiyu, you say it."

"I..." Han Shiyu's back stiffened, and she quickly looked up at Han Guodong, but was so frightened by Han Guodong's eyes that she instantly lost her voice.

"It seems some people are in the wrong and don't dare to speak up."

Xu Fangye leaned lazily on the table and said, "Grandpa Han, why don't you listen to me?"

Han Guodong glared fiercely at Han Shiyu, then looked at Xu Fangye and said, "Fine, you go ahead."

Xu Fangye glanced at Han Ming, who was looking at him, and slowly began to recount how Han Shiyu manipulated the Wu siblings abroad and how she framed Fang Li and Xingyu Media.

By the end, Han Guodong's fists, which were resting on the table, were clenched so tightly they were cracking.

Han Guodong knew his son was no good, but he never imagined he had become so confused!

He gritted his teeth and glared angrily at Han Ming. Seeing Han Ming's downcast eyes and indifferent expression, he felt a mix of hatred, anger, and helplessness.

Just when everyone thought that Han Guodong would criticize Han Ming, or at the very least say a few fair words, Han Guodong's face darkened, and he spoke with some disappointment:

"I'm sorry, this is a problem of our Han family. It's my fault for failing to raise my son properly, which led him to be unable to distinguish right from wrong and to allow the Han family's adopted daughter to do such an inhumane thing."

Unexpectedly, Han Guodong would take the blame for him at this time.

Han Ming looked up in surprise and gazed at his father.

He suddenly realized that his father, who had always looked down on him and opposed him for half his life, who would always wave his hand at him at the slightest disagreement, had become wrinkled and his temples were now streaked with white.

Han Ming's eyes flickered inexplicably.

With a guilty and embarrassed expression, Han Guodong said, "Fang Li, I'm sorry for what happened. Don't worry, I will give you an explanation no matter what. You won't suffer this injustice for nothing!"

"Dad. Shiyu, she..."

"Shut up!" Han Guodong was so angry that his beard trembled.

Han Ming paused, then frowned deeply.

Han Guodong: "Shiyu, Shiyu, have you forgotten who your real child is? All these years you've made Xiujin suffer so much because of Han Shiyu, and Fang Li isn't your son. She's the love Xiujin finally found. As her father, you don't even bless her, how can you condone Han Shiyu doing such a vicious thing!"

“Xiujin is my son, but Shiyu is also a member of our Han family. She grew up without a mother, so what’s wrong with me favoring her a little?”

Han Guodong never expected that his son would say such a thing even now.

In a moment of stunned silence, her eyes revealed boundless despair and heartache. "If Han Shiyu doesn't have a mother, then what about Xiu Jin? Hasn't he been without a father all these years?"

"......"

I had expected that today's meal wouldn't go too smoothly.

It seems that Old Master Han has reached his limit with his son, showing no respect whatsoever to Han Ming in front of the Xu family.

Hearing Han Guodong's question, Han Ming's face flashed with displeasure, but he showed no remorse.

Shen Ruyan, on the other hand, felt her eyes well up with tears as soon as Han Guodong said those words, and she lowered her eyes to wipe them away.

Fang Yun sighed helplessly and gently patted Shen Ruyan's shoulder to comfort her.

"Since Han Shiyu entered the Han family, how has the Han family ever wronged her? In terms of food, daily necessities, clothing, schooling, and even later employment, in which aspect have they been inferior to other daughters of prominent families in the capital? And what about her?"

Han Guodong was so angry that his fingers were trembling. He pointed at Han Shiyu and cursed, "How much trouble has she caused? When she first came in, I thought she was a well-behaved child, but she turned out to be a wicked troublemaker!"

Han Shiyu sat there stiffly, as if she had been whipped several times, her hands clenched tightly, her lips bitten until they were bloodless.

Han family's adopted daughter?

恶毒？

A scourge?

This was the first time Han Guodong had spoken to Han Shiyu like this, and it happened right in front of the Xu family.

The resentment in Han Shiyu's eyes was about to overflow. After so many years, he finally spoke the truth from the bottom of his heart!

He never considered her a true member of the Han family, and he always looked down on her.

Oh.......

From Fang Li's angle, she could see Han Shiyu's gloomy and vicious profile, even though others couldn't.

Fang Li squeezed Han Xi's hand and whispered, "Today isn't a good day. Could you try to persuade Grandpa? He's getting old; I'm worried about him getting too angry..."

"fine."

Han Xi squeezed her hand back, looking down as he played with it. "Grandpa knows what he's doing. He did it on purpose."

deliberately?

Fang Li then realized what Han Xi meant by "deliberately".

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly looked at him with a hint of heartache. "Are you sad?"

Han Xi curled his lip, "Do you think I have a fragile heart?"

"Don't worry, I understand why Grandpa did this. He may not care about Han Shiyu, but Father is his son after all, and this is the only thing he can do at this time."

Fang Li remained silent, then gripped his hand tightly in return.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful that the Xu family only had her father and eldest uncle, and that the other brothers all got along well, unlike the complicated interpersonal relationships in the Han family.

"Dad, Shiyu is still young. Aren't you being a little too harsh with your words?"

Han Ming said with a gloomy expression, "Besides, I'm not home today, and there are so many outsiders here. You can forgive me, but can't you give Shi Yu some face?"

Han Guodong was utterly speechless, looking at Han Ming as if he wished he had never had this son, "You...you...you idiot!"

"All right!"

Lin Wenfang, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up, "You call your own son an idiot in front of so many people, Han Guodong, are you that shrewd?"

"What are you doing, being so unreasonable!"

"I just can't stand listening to you belittle your own son and granddaughter like that."

Lin Wenfang looked at Fang Li and Han Xi opposite her with a cold expression and said, "Besides, we're here today for Xiu Jin's wedding. What are you doing rambling on about unrelated things?!"

"So you know we're here today to discuss the wedding?"

Han Guodong angrily retorted, "Then what are you doing bringing this menace here!"
