Chapter 392 Overconfidence
Before leaving, he glanced at his sister seemingly unintentionally.
Fang Li clenched her hands, closed her eyes with a look of utter despair.
Now, Xu Fangye was even more curious.
What on earth happened that made Grandpa so angry?
Could it be that their marriage has been discovered?
That shouldn't be the case. He had already subtly hinted at it before, and although he didn't say it explicitly, Grandpa should have been able to guess that the two of them were already together.
That alone shouldn't be enough to make you this angry!
Xu Fangye received the order and made the call, completely bewildered.
In the room, only Fang Li and her two companions remained, along with... Uncle Hao, who had suddenly appeared.
The atmosphere was no different from a joint trial.
Fang Li couldn't help but timidly ask, "Grandpa, actually..."
"you shut up."
With just one look from Xu Qingrang, Fang Li fell silent instantly.
Upon seeing this, Han Xi already had a guess in his mind.
"This is my fault, please don't blame Ali, Grandpa."
Unexpectedly, Han Xi took the initiative to speak up and even took all the responsibility.
Xu Qingrang's dark expression softened slightly, but he immediately hardened again the moment he looked at Han Xi.
"Your problem? So you're admitting it?"
"There's nothing I can't admit. I love Ali and I want to be with her. It was wrong of me to hide it, and it's understandable that Grandpa is angry."
"You're so frank! If you knew this would happen, why did you hide it from me in the first place!"
"I used some methods to get Ali and me together. At the time, I wasn't confident I could make her like me, so..."
"So, you're confident now?"
Han Xi paused slightly, looked up at Fang Li opposite him, and said gently, "Yes."
Xu Qingrang choked, and his anger, which had just subsided, suddenly flared up again.
"Aren't you overconfident, kid? I don't care what's going on between you and Guo Bao, but your unilateral actions clearly show that you don't respect the Xu family. I'm telling you today, I don't agree to your relationship!"
"grandfather......"
"Don't call me that, I'm Guobao's grandfather, not your grandfather!"
Han Xi frowned slightly. "Ali and I are already married. You are Ali's grandfather, which means you are my grandfather."
"Stop giving me that nonsense. The two of you secretly got your marriage certificate without any knowledge of your elders. This marriage doesn't count at all!"
Before Han Xi could say anything, Xu Qingrang continued, "I heard that your parents already know about your situation. It just so happens that Guo Bao's parents will be back in a couple of days, so the two families can sit down together and resolve this matter completely."
Seeing that her grandfather seemed to have made up his mind and was not giving Han Xi a chance to explain, Fang Li couldn't help but get a little anxious.
"Grandpa, please don't do this."
"You still dare to speak up for this kid!"
Fang Li said helplessly, "I'm not speaking up for him, it's just that you... are being a bit too arbitrary."
"What did you say?"
Noticing Xu Qingrang's gaze, Fang Li lowered her head timidly: "You don't even give Han Xi a chance to speak properly. He's really not what you think..."
"........"
Xu Qingrang finally understood what it meant to say that daughters grow up and leave home, and that one's own family will turn against one's family.
He was so angry he almost stood on end, but seeing his granddaughter's timid appearance, he managed to hold back.
"Okay, you say I didn't give him a chance to speak, then I'll let him speak now."
Xu Qingrang looked at Han Xi with a deep gaze and said, "Han family brat, you better explain yourself now. I want to hear exactly how you bewitched our Guobao!"
Han Xi remained calm, but inwardly he silently took a deep breath.
He looked up at Fang Li and then slowly began to recount everything from their first meeting to their quick marriage registration, including all the events that followed, even their childhood interactions.
Xu Qingrang listened with a mixture of surprise and frown.
"So, the fault doesn't lie with Ali. I lied to her and brought her to my side. If you're really angry and want to punish me, then punish me."
Xu Qingrang fell silent for a moment.
Fang Li stared wide-eyed, bewildered as she looked at the man in front of her.
The room remained quiet for a long time. It was unclear whether Han Xi's honesty satisfied Xu Qingrang or his feelings for Fang Li moved her.
After a moment of silence, Xu Qingrang glanced at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, it was wrong of you two to keep this from your families."
"I know."
"Forget it, what's the point of me saying all this? Guobao is focused on you right now, and you seem to be a responsible child. Let's leave it at that for now."
Han Xi's brows and eyes relaxed slightly.
Xu Qingrang suddenly said, "But don't be too happy yet. Although Guo Bao's parents are not at home all year round, they love Guo Bao the most. If they find out that you not only secretly took their daughter away, but also made her pregnant without even a wedding, then there will be a lot of trouble between you two."
Han Xi frowned deeply.
"You mean...pregnant?"
Even Han Xi, who was usually unsmiling, showed a hint of surprise when he heard those two words.
Xu Qingrang frowned, "You don't know?!"
Han Xi looked at Fang Li, and Fang Li frantically winked at him.
Han Xi's tense heart skipped a beat, and his brows furrowed slightly. "I know, I just didn't expect Grandpa to know too."
"What? If Guobao hadn't let it slip, were you planning to keep it from us?"
Han Xi lowered his eyes: "I wouldn't dare."
Xu Qingrang looked at his submissive appearance and said with barely any satisfaction, "Alright, let's leave it at that for now. Since Guobao is pregnant, you don't need to stay in a hotel. Let Xiaoye arrange a room for you and stay at home."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
---
Xu Qingrang was old after all, and he was also injured.
After chatting for a short while, he gradually showed signs of fatigue. Fang Li and Han Xi quickly helped him lie down. After giving instructions to Uncle Hao, the two left the room and headed towards the front yard.
As soon as he stepped outside, Xu Fangye leaned against the edge of the outer corridor.
"I heard everything you just said, Guobao, are you really pregnant?"
Fang Li glanced behind her and quickly pushed him forward, saying, "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, why are you being so loud!"
Xu Fangli was speechless. Could she say that she hadn't?
Clearly, once a lie is uttered, one is completely out of control.
Just as the three of them rounded the corner of the corridor, Uncle Hao caught up from behind.
"Ono."
"Uncle Hao?"
Uncle Hao glanced at Han Xi and Fang Li and said, "Your grandfather said that the small building you are staying in is a bit cramped, so he asked you to arrange for the guests to stay in the guest courtyard next door, and to rest early at night and not wander around, especially not to disturb Guo Bao's sleep."
