Chapter 269 A Rebellious Spirit Since Childhood
"Shouldn't I be asking Chairman Han this question? You brought so many people here just for a share transfer agreement? Since you know what happened at the mall yesterday, you should also know that Han Xi gave me the share transfer agreement voluntarily. If you want to get it back, you should go to him first."
Fang Li glanced at the tall, burly, and serious-looking bodyguards standing behind them, and smiled faintly: "Besides, it's just a share transfer agreement, why bother inviting the old lady here as well? You must have other business to attend to today, right?"
Han Ming's face darkened, while Lin Wenfang, standing to the side, paused, revealing a hint of surprise.
He thought to himself, "Although this girl comes from a humble background, she is quite insightful. No wonder my grandson has looked down on every other girl over the years, but he is particularly fond of her."
Han Ming was about to say something with a long face when Lin Wenfang calmly pressed down on the back of his hand.
“Ms. Xu, since the equity transfer agreement was a voluntary gift from Xiu Jin, we, as his elders, cannot ask for it back without his knowledge. We will discuss this matter with Xiu Jin later.”
Fang Li gently shifted her gaze to the old lady, waiting for what would happen next.
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, she paused and then said, "However, there is something we can only ask Miss Xu. I think Miss Xu is a smart person and shouldn't make things difficult for everyone."
Fang Li's brow twitched slightly, but she smiled without saying a word.
Lin Wenfang silently placed the teacup back on the coffee table, then looked up and asked, "When does Miss Xu plan to leave Xiujin?"
"Leave?" Fang Li chuckled lightly. "I don't understand what the old lady means."
"Miss Xu, I just said you were smart, why are you pretending to be stupid now?" The old lady's eyebrows darkened, and an overwhelming sense of oppression instantly descended.
If Fang Li were just an ordinary girl who was pretty but had no family background, she would probably be trembling with fear after this.
Unfortunately, Fang Li had seen many elders from prominent families lecturing their juniors in a pretentious manner since she was a child, such as her grandmother who died early. Therefore, she was never afraid of these pretentious and arrogant elders.
"Madam, I don't understand. Han Xi and I are doing fine. I really don't understand what you mean by 'when are you leaving'?"
Lin Wenfang's stern face turned cold, revealing a hint of displeasure.
"It seems you're determined to pester our Xiu Jin? In that case, I won't hold back any more face for you, girl."
As soon as she finished speaking, Han Ming immediately chimed in:
"With your status, you are not worthy of Xiu Jin at all. What the Han family needs is a young mistress whose family background and character are a good match, not a troublemaker like you with a lot of scandals who makes the entertainment headlines from time to time!"
“We’ve already found a fiancée for Han Xi. If you know what’s good for you, you’d better make things clear with Xiu Jin as soon as possible and leave. But if you insist on clinging to him, then I’ll have to do something to force you to leave!”
"..." Fang Li's faint smile gradually faded.
Seeing her expression finally change, Han Ming's face relaxed a bit, and he continued, "I heard you opened some kind of studio in Beijing, but it hasn't been doing very well. Now you're planning to expand your business and change the company's ownership. I happen to know a few people in the business administration field..."
Sometimes, leaving things unsaid is more effective than saying them out loud.
The threat was clear: if Fang Li didn't agree to leave Han Xi, Li Yun would likely find it difficult to move an inch in the future.
However, they did not know that Fang Li had a rebellious streak since childhood; otherwise, she would not have dared to go against her family when she was a teenager, secretly changing her college application and taking a gamble to go to university in Hangzhou with Song Yuchen.
If they try to persuade her kindly, and considering that they are her elders, Fang Li might patiently explain things to them and discuss it properly.
Unfortunately, they, especially Han Ming, didn't take her seriously from the start. Han Shiyu hurt her, but he turned the tables and blamed her for it.
Since that's the case, then she'll deliberately defy his wishes and insist on being with Han Xi, to be together for a long, long time!
Fang Li's eyes were cool and aloof, and her red lips curled slightly: "Chairman Han, there's something you might not know."
She paused, and only after seeing Han Ming's brows furrow deeply did she say calmly, "It's not that I don't want to leave Han Xi, it's that Han Xi can't live without me. Instead of telling me all this, you might as well go directly to Han Xi and ask him to abandon me. Don't worry, as long as Han Xi doesn't want me anymore, I will pack my bags and leave immediately!"
"you......!"
Han Ming was so angry that he was practically snorting smoke!
If we could persuade Han Xi, would we need to waste our breath on her here?
Knowing that Han Xi was stubborn and wouldn't agree, they came to find her while Han Xi was away, hoping she would be more sensible.
Unexpectedly, she's actually playing Tai Chi with them here!
Han Ming's face was ashen, and his hands, resting on his knees, were clenched tightly. If it weren't for his status as an elder, Fang Li would have suspected that he might suddenly make a move.
"Why are you so angry? I'm just telling the truth! Although you are Han Xi's father, you don't seem to have been very responsible these past few years..."
Fang Li had been watching their expressions closely, and sure enough, Han Ming's face turned frighteningly ugly as she spoke.
She immediately changed the subject and continued, "You don't know, Han Xi has a sharp eye and high taste. He's extremely picky and demanding about the things he uses, let alone women."
The more she spoke, the uglier the expressions on the faces of the two people opposite her became.
She pretended not to see it, sat calmly in her chair, and only talked about herself.
"He told me more than once that the two of you had introduced him to many women from prestigious families over the years. Unfortunately, those women were either average-looking or had terrible tempers. Others were reasonably good-looking and had barely mild tempers, but unfortunately, their hair was too short or their skin was too dark..."
"What nonsense are you spouting?! So what if I have short hair and dark skin? How could Xiu Jin be such a shallow person?!" Han Ming interrupted Fang Li angrily, disregarding his image.
Fang Li frowned, her face serious: "Chairman Han, you see, I told you you didn't know Han Xi well enough, didn't I? He's picky about more than just this. He also said that there are a few girls whose looks and personalities are indeed impeccable, but alas..."
Han Ming was completely taken aback by what she said.
Fang Li said in a serious tone, "It's a pity that her family background is terrible. She is said to be a daughter of a prestigious family, but her family business has long been losing money. They are just waiting for a rich husband to fall into their laps to help them fill the hole. He said that rather than jumping into such a bottomless pit, he would rather find someone who has nothing and is just a pretty face to put at home. At least he is simple-minded and pleasing to the eye."
"Is that really what Xiu Jin said?" Han Ming looked at Fang Li with a suspicious expression.
Fang Li raised an eyebrow. "Of course."
Just as Han Ming was being led astray, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes as he pondered the credibility of her words, the old woman who had remained silent suddenly laughed.
