Chapter 270 Are you kidding me?
The voice was aged, with a rough, hoarse quality to its laughter.
Although she was smiling, there was no joy in her smile; instead, there was a chilling, unsettling feeling about her.
“Miss Xu is indeed clever. She managed to entangle my son in just a few words. No wonder Xiu Jin is so focused on you.”
Han Ming's expression froze for a moment before he realized what was happening.
Fang Li smiled faintly, thinking to herself that it wasn't that she was particularly clever, but rather that although her son was quite old, he was too impulsive and easily fooled. No wonder Han Xi was able to take the Han family business from him at such a young age.
With a brain like his, even if he lived another thirty years, he wouldn't be a match for Han Xi!
"You...you're trying to fool me?"
Fang Li raised an eyebrow: "Chairman Han, what are you saying? I'm just telling the truth. If anyone's trying to fool me, it's Han Xi who fooled me first, or perhaps...?"
As she spoke, she suddenly frowned, "Han Xi isn't as virtuous as I thought. He also likes those rich girls. So, he's deliberately lying to me? If that's the case, I... I will never forgive him!"
"..." Old Mrs. Han's face darkened slightly and she remained silent.
"enough!"
Seeing her pretentious attitude, Han Ming suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
Fang Li lowered her brows, the theatrical glint in her eyes vanished, and she sat quietly.
"Stop spouting nonsense and rambling on!"
Han Ming stared at her angrily: "It seems you have big ambitions. You know you can get much more by sticking with Xiu Jin than you are now. Since that's the case, then speak up! What do you want for you to break up with Xiu Jin cleanly!"
"Does Chairman Han mean I can name any terms I want?"
"Take a good look at your own capabilities and don't go too far!"
Fang Li suddenly realized, "Oh, I think I'd better not take it. After all, Han Xi has given me quite a lot, and now that I have shares in Han's Jewelry, it's enough for me to squander."
"You!" Han Ming was almost furious.
He pressed his hand to his forehead, gritted his teeth, and endured for a long time before finally saying in a deep voice, "Speak! What do you want?!"
Fang Li smiled and said, "I moved here not long after I arrived in Beijing. How about Mr. Han and Han Xi talk to me about giving me the Half Hill Manor? With such a big place, I can do whatever I want, and I won't need Han Xi anymore!"
"Or... I heard that the Huanyu Building is also owned by the Han family. You must know that my studio is located in the Huanyu Building. Why don't you give the Huanyu Building to me? In the future, my studio will not have to pay rent every year, which will save me a lot of money! I can also rent out the rest, and make money from money. I will definitely have a lot of money, and then I won't need Han Xi anymore!"
"......"
"puff......."
I don't know which corner the servant couldn't help but chuckle out loud.
Looking at the several tall and burly bodyguards behind Han Ming and the old lady, Fang Li noticed that, despite their iron-colored faces, one of them had a twitching mouth.
To be honest, if Fang Li hadn't studied acting in college and acted in several plays after graduation, she wouldn't have had such a strong sense of conviction.
Especially seeing Han Ming jumping up and down, even though she knew he was Han Xi's father, she still had to suppress her laughter, which was quite painful for her.
Han Ming may not be as shrewd as Han Xi, but after so many years in the business world, he's certainly not a complete fool!
That low laugh was like tearing off his proud facade and slapping him across the face, instantly making him feel both ashamed and angry!
"Who's laughing? Come out!"
Fang Li glanced indifferently at the people hiding in the kitchen, without saying a word.
Han Ming gritted his teeth: "Go, find the person who was eavesdropping on the master's conversation!"
Upon receiving the order, two bodyguards immediately came out and headed towards the servants' quarters.
At this moment, the old lady sitting on the sofa spoke up: "What are you doing? Everyone come back!"
The bodyguard stopped abruptly, caught in a dilemma.
"Mom! Look at the people here in Xiujin, they have no manners at all. Even with you here today, they dare to laugh at the master. Usually, when you're not around, they never respect their son!"
Han Ming's face turned red with anger: "Today I'm going to teach these servants a lesson for Xiu Jin. Those who want to work here can take this opportunity to see who their boss is, and those who don't want to work here can get out of here as soon as possible!"
"Alright!" The old lady shouted, startling Han Ming.
The old lady gave him a look of exasperation: "This is Xiu Jin's place, aren't you ashamed enough! Don't forget what you came here for today!"
Han Ming frowned and remained silent.
The old lady's sharp eyes instantly turned to Fang Li, and she gave a cold smile: "It seems I underestimated you, young lady. You're so young, yet you already know how to manipulate people's hearts. Judging from your appearance, you won't obediently leave Xiu Jin. There's no point in saying anything more today. Since that's the case..."
She gently raised her hand, and the bodyguard next to her immediately extended his arm.
The old lady helped herself to her feet and looked at Fang Li across the coffee table: "Miss Xu, just stay by Xiu Jin's side. I hope you can continue to follow him so steadfastly."
Fang Li smiled but said nothing, and nodded slightly to the old lady.
...Well, let's just wait and see!
"let's go."
The group of people left the living room in a large, bustling manner.
Fang Li slowly got up from the sofa and followed them to the door after they reached the door.
As she reached the door, four black sedans started moving. The rear window of the middle car slowly rolled down, revealing Han Ming's grim, ashen face.
He turned his head and looked at Fang Li through the car window, saying, "It's good for young people to be ambitious, but it's stupid to be ignorant of one's own limitations. Soon, you will pay the price for your behavior of mocking your elders today!"
The car window slowly rolled up.
Even from five or six steps away, Fang Li could feel the anger and resentment in Han Ming's gloomy eyes.
She twitched her brow slightly and nodded gently at him.
The car windows were completely closed.
Then, the car slowly drove out of the main house and away from the estate.
"Madam, what should we do? Should we tell the husband about this...?"
"Need not."
"But Mr. Han's temperament..." Aunt Rong had been eavesdropping in the kitchen, and came out immediately as soon as they left. At this moment, she was both worried and afraid.
Seeing Fang Li's calm expression and lack of reaction, she couldn't help but ask with concern and doubt, "Why don't you just tell Chairman Han and Madam that you and your husband are married?"
Fang Li turned around: "Why didn't Han Xi say anything?"
"...Probably afraid they'd cause trouble..."
Fang Li curled her lips and said, "Although I'm not afraid of them making a fuss, I'm afraid of being bothered."
Aunt Rong was slightly taken aback, then frowned: "But this will only deepen their misunderstanding of you, and you'll likely face difficulties when you visit the old house again in the future..."
"Then let's just not go to the old house."
"...Not going? How can that be?"
Fang Li comforted her by taking her arm and said intimately, "Oh, Aunt Rong, what era are we living in now? The way elders and juniors get along is not like in ancient times, where they were blindly loyal and filial. If an elder is worthy of respect, then I will naturally respect and honor him. If he is domineering and unreasonable, then I can only treat him as an elder and leave him there."
"Can......."
"Stop talking nonsense, is dinner ready? I'm starving after all this time. Go and prepare it. I'll go call Yang Miao downstairs; she hasn't moved for ages. Is she asleep?"
Watching Fang Li flee upstairs as if fleeing, Aunt Rong stood there, still filled with sorrow.
It wasn't that she wanted to meddle in the master's affairs, but given Second Master Han's temperament... after Madam teased him like that today, she was afraid it wouldn't end so easily.
She should tell her husband.
Aunt Rong hurriedly ran back to her room.
upstairs.
