Chapter 233 A Person Hidden in My Heart
"Really?" Fang Li teased her deliberately, looking at her suspiciously.
"Trust me!" Yang Miao immediately patted his chest to assure her, then said with a mysterious look on his face, "Although my surname is Yang, I still have a few trusted confidants in the Han family. I can definitely help you!"
"Okay, then I'll rely on you from now on."
"My dear sister, leave it to me!"
Sisters?
Fang Li burst out laughing.
The longer Fang Li spent with Yang Miao, the more she found the boy likable.
Han Chunxi said that Han Xi treats Yang Miao as he did when he was a child. He doesn't want Yang Miao to grow up alone like he did, so he has given her the most love and care over the years, fulfilling the responsibilities that her parents should have fulfilled.
Fang Li was particularly able to understand Han Xi's thoughts.
Seeing Yang Miao, Fang Li felt as if she were seeing herself when she was a child.
They are all children who have parents but seem to have no parents at all.
Over the years, her parents have been busy with work. They love her, but they can't balance the conflict with their work. They send her greetings and gifts all year round, but they rarely spend real time with her.
Although she lacks her parents' company, she has a grandfather who loves her very much, and a brother who seems angry with her on the surface but always supports her behind the scenes. She is not actually lacking in love.
Just like her, Yang Miao didn't have her parents' company, but she had a loving uncle, Han Xi, who really raised her very well.
"By the way! Where did you go last night?" Yang Miao suddenly remembered what happened last night, stopped and turned to look at her, his brows furrowed: "My uncle called last night to ask where you were and why you didn't answer the phone. It almost scared me to death!"
Seeing that the little girl seemed genuinely frightened, Fang Li could only explain again, "I had some business to attend to last night and went out with a friend. Later, I went to your uncle's place."
"What?! You went to see my uncle?!"
Fang Li found it amusing: "What's wrong?"
Yang Miao clicked her tongue twice. "No wonder people say that people in love can't be apart for a moment. My uncle left at noon, and you went to see him tonight. Ugh, so sickeningly sweet!"
The two were talking when they reached the car, and the driver got out and opened the door.
Fang Li pushed Yang Miao into the car first, and then followed. After the two were seated, the driver went around to the back of the car, opened the door, and got in.
"Madam, Miss, shall we go home now?"
Yang Miao, still unpacking her schoolbag, immediately rushed over to the driver and said, "Don't go home yet! Go to Tai'an Road!"
The driver looked at Fang Li through the rearview mirror, and Fang Li nodded slightly.
The driver replied, "Okay."
The car started and headed towards Tai'an Road.
Yang Miao sat down next to Fang Li, took her arm familiarly, and talked to her.
"Auntie, I still don't know how you and my uncle met? I heard you used to be a celebrity, why did you retire from the entertainment industry? Is it because of my uncle?"
A soft laugh revealed his helplessness.
Fang Li turned her head to look at her: "You're asking me so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"
Yang Miao winked slyly, "You're a writer, so organize your thoughts and answer all at once. I believe you can do it!"
Fang Li pursed her lips, smiled faintly, and thought about it very seriously.
"I met your uncle in Hangzhou. At the time, I had just broken up with my boyfriend and was tired of life in the entertainment industry, so I chose to retire from it. Later, he saved me at the beach, but we really got to know each other in the hospital."
"Hospital?"
"Yes, hospitals in Hangzhou."
Yang Miao suddenly frowned, "So you're not...?"
"Not what?"
Yang Miao was dazed. "Oh, it's nothing, haha, it's nothing."
Seeing how she avoided her gaze, Fang Li knew that she was hiding something from her.
He turned slightly to the side, raising an eyebrow and staring at her with feigned authority. "Are you sure nothing's wrong? You patted your chest and guaranteed it before, but now you're helping your uncle hide it from me. Is this what you meant by putting my mind at ease?"
"Oh, it's really nothing."
"Okay." Fang Li sat back down. "We're not going to Tai'an Road anymore, let's go home."
Yang Miao was startled, "No!"
Fang Li sat there, motionless and composed.
Seeing the driver turn on the turn signal and immediately prepare to make a U-turn, Yang Miao quickly said, "Okay, okay, I'll talk, I'll talk, alright?"
Fang Li subtly gave the driver a look.
The driver understood, smiled slightly, turned off the turn signal, and continued driving ahead.
"But let me make this clear first, you can't get angry after you hear this, or my uncle will definitely beat me to death when he gets back!"
Fang Li nodded: "Don't worry, I never betray my teammates."
Yang Miao: "Actually, it's nothing. I just heard it from my great-aunt."
"Great-aunt?"
"Yes, she is my uncle's mother."
Fang Li raised an eyebrow. Since she got together with Han Xi, she hadn't heard anyone mention his mother. She had met his father twice, but each time it ended badly.
Han Xi's mother?
Is he the renowned jewelry designer who co-founded Han's Jewelry with his father and is now internationally acclaimed?
"As you know, my great-uncle and great-grandmother have always been keen to find wives for my uncle, but unfortunately, he doesn't like any of the ones they found. And when my uncle doesn't like them, they start criticizing my great-aunt..."
Why did you mention your great-aunt?
“Because my great-aunt never cared about this matter. They just thought that my great-aunt spoiled my uncle so much that they couldn’t bully him, so they bullied my great-aunt.”
Fang Li looked at Yang Miao's angry expression and said, "You don't seem to like your great-grandmother and great-uncle very much?"
"It's not just dislike, it's utterly detestable."
Yang Miao leaned back in her chair angrily and said, "You have no idea how much trouble my great-uncle has caused my uncle all these years just because he took over the Han family business."
“Every time my great-uncle caused trouble for my uncle, my great-aunt would get very angry, fly back and have a big fight with him, and then fly back the next day.”
Fang Li had heard people mention occasionally that Han Xi and his father did not have a good relationship, but no one had mentioned the relationship between his parents at the time.
Most of the media reports focus on the fact that the wife of the former chairman of the Han Group is dedicated to jewelry design and has even opened her own jewelry design studio abroad. She is always busy with work abroad and rarely comes back.
So, in reality, Han Xi's parents didn't have a good relationship, and what the media reported was just a facade?
Fang Li had a plan in mind.
Not wanting to pry into Han Xi's family secrets any further, she raised an eyebrow and subtly steered the conversation back on track: "It seems you really are a true 'nephew's brother's supporter. So what exactly did you hear from your great-aunt?"
Yang Miao glanced at her and said, "Look how anxious you are."
Fang Li was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but chuckle. Why was she in such a hurry?
Yang Miao suddenly sat up, turned halfway around, and looked at her solemnly, "Only a few people in our family know about this. You absolutely must not tell anyone after you find out, and you absolutely, absolutely must not mention it in front of my uncle, understand?!"
Fang Li was inexplicably a little nervous because of her startled appearance.
He nodded. "Okay, I won't say."
Even though they were in the car alone, with only the driver and the two of them, Yang Miao still sneaked closer as if guarding against someone and whispered, "My uncle has always had someone hidden in his heart."
Fang Li: "......."
