EBE Chapter 389 Vanished
Chapter 389 Vanished
Han Xi pursed his lips: "It's Dai."
"Shen...Rudai?"
Han Xi looked at the woman beside him and nodded gently: "Yes, Shen Rudai. She is my mother's only sister, my aunt."
"..." Fang Li was unaware that Han Xi's mother had a younger sister.
“My aunt and my mother are only two years apart, and they look about 70% alike. When I was little, my mother was often busy with work, so my aunt was the one who kept me company most of the time.”
Han Xi seemed to have a deep affection for his aunt. He paused and said, "The first and only time I went to an amusement park was when my aunt took me."
Mentioning the past always seems to be a heavy thing.
"Where is your aunt now?"
Fang Li asked this question because she didn't want the topic to be too heavy, but she didn't expect that she would still touch on Han Xi's sore spot.
"She passed away eighteen years ago in a car accident."
Today's meal seems destined to be tasteless and bland.
Every topic seems to be off-limits at this time, but somehow, no matter what we say, we always manage to steer it towards the point that people least want to talk about.
The two sat quietly for a while before Han Xi broke the silence.
"I didn't tell you, did I? Mom is actually from Hong Kong Island."
"Hong Kong..." Fang Li exclaimed in surprise, "But Mom's accent is completely undetectable!"
“My mother came to the mainland with her mother, who is also my maternal grandmother, when she was very young. My maternal grandparents had a misunderstanding when they were young and they separated. My maternal grandmother took my mother with her, while my aunt lived with my maternal grandfather on Hong Kong Island.”
"Later, the misunderstanding between the two was cleared up, and the grandmother took the mother back to Hong Kong Island to find the grandfather, only to find that the grandfather's health had long been compromised. In order to take care of the grandfather, they stayed in Hong Kong Island for several years. Later, the grandfather passed away, and the grandmother brought the mother and aunt to the mainland."
"Mom's artistic talent in jewelry is inherited from her maternal grandmother. However, her maternal grandmother is not as famous as Mom, but her reputation at home and abroad is no less than Mom's."
It turned out to be the case.
"So these earrings were actually made by Grandma for Mom?"
Han Xi nodded, picked up the earrings from the box and examined them in his palm: "Grandma actually made two pairs by hand back then. One pair was given to Mom, and the other pair was with my aunt. But later, my aunt had a car accident, and that pair of earrings disappeared."
Fang Li frowned: "Wasn't it found at the scene? Did someone pick it up?"
"We've investigated, but we haven't found anyone suspicious."
Han Xi gently put the earring back, his gaze slightly lowered, and said, "The first people to arrive at the scene of the car accident were my father and my third uncle, and they had never seen it either."
Shen Ruyan, Shen Rudai...
Han Xi's maternal grandparents must have been a very cultured couple to have given their two daughters such beautiful names.
Unfortunately.......
"Mom was a notorious iron lady when she was young. The fact that she took the initiative to come to your door to apologize today and even gave you her treasured earrings shows that she was really angry, and it also shows that she really likes you."
Fang Li could naturally sense that he liked her, but asked, "Is Mom so angry because Dad is biased towards Han Shiyu?"
Not entirely.
Han Xi's eyes darkened slightly. "There was another victim in my aunt's car accident back then."
Fang Li paused, chopsticks in her hand: "Could it be... related to Han Shiyu?"
"It's her mother."
"......."No wonder!
"Han Shiyu's mother was in the car across the street. Her aunt was unable to avoid her when her mother suddenly crossed the line, which caused the car to overturn."
Fang Li was shocked. How could the Han family still be able to adopt Han Shiyu!
"What about Han Shiyu's mother?"
He crawled under a truck and died on the spot.
"So, Mom is so angry not only because Dad is biased towards Han Shiyu, but also because the Han family adopted Han Shiyu?"
Fang Li gasped. Her husband was siding with the daughter of the murderer who killed her sister... No one could accept or forgive that!
No wonder Han Xi's mother eventually divorced his father.
Fang Li's eyes suddenly welled up with an indescribable sadness. "Mom must be very sad."
"......"
"Honey, is Auntie's grave in Beijing? Let's find some time to go visit her!"
Han Xi glanced sideways at the woman whose eyes were filled with tiny sparkles of light, her pupils gazing at him. His chest felt as if it were filled with something, and he gently nodded, his brows twitching slightly.
"it is good."

Han Ming seemed genuinely afraid that Han Xi would do something to Han Shiyu, so he flew abroad overnight.
The next morning, Fang Li had just arrived at the company when Shi Hang sent word that Guan Xiaowan was able to get out of bed and Fan Zhe had been moved out of the intensive care unit.
However, both Fan Zhe and Guan Xiaowan's agents received a huge compensation from Xingyu, and Shi Hang asked her if she knew what was going on.
Fang Li suddenly remembered what Shen Ruyan had said last night, paused and then said, "Don't worry, they have suffered an undeserved disaster, and they deserve the compensation."
Hearing Fang Li say this, Shi Hang felt more at ease.
Even if it wasn't her, it must be related to her.
In today's society, it's rare to find someone who takes full responsibility when something goes wrong, and even rarer to find someone who can afford to compensate victims with such a large sum of money.
At this moment, Shi Hang was even more certain that his decision to agree to acquire Liyun was the right one.
How far a company can go often depends on the vision and character of its leader.
Xu Fangli is a trustworthy person.
At this time, Fang Li had no idea that her repeated acts of help would soon earn her a group of passionate and loyal companions.
Just when she finally had some time to sort out the specifics of the merger between the two companies, a phone call completely disrupted her plans.
---
"That's settled then. Send a copy of the detailed filming schedule for Shenhuangdao to President Chunxi. We'll find a time for our two families to meet and discuss when filming will resume."
Wen Yang stood up with the documents in her arms: "Okay, I'll go and coordinate with the people at Wenxi Film and Television right away. By the way, Sun Jin said that now that the two companies have merged, when would be a good time for them to move over?"
Fang Li paused, took out her phone and checked the calendar, "Is Xiaolou's place all packed up yet?"
"It was ready a few days ago, and we can move in anytime."
"Then let's find someone to choose an auspicious date, and then notify them so we can all move together."
"Okay, leave this to me. Sweetie has been keeping an eye on that area lately, so I'll have her handle it."
Fang Li nodded, "Then you go ahead and get busy. I might have to go out for a bit later. Leave everything else to me..."
Just then, my phone rang.
"wait for me a while."
Fang Li glanced at the screen, then answered the call directly in front of Wen Yang without trying to avoid it.
"Brother, why did you suddenly decide to call me?"
Upon seeing that it was Xu Fangye, Fang Li's tone was light and surprised.
Unexpectedly, there was a moment of silence on the other end, followed by Xu Fangye's somewhat heavy voice, "Guobao, something has happened to Grandpa."
