EBE Chapter 284 gave them a big surprise.
Chapter 284 gave them a big surprise.
Xu Fangye was so angry he almost fainted.
What do you mean, "what does he want to hear"?!
He rushed to the capital, abandoning a mountain of work at the company, just to see her in such a perfunctory manner!
He saw his older brother gritting his teeth and then suddenly let out a cold laugh.
Fang Li's heart tightened, and she knew something was wrong.
This person is truly angry!
She immediately stopped trying to brush it off and cleared her throat, saying, "You already know about my relationship with Han Xi, so those things online are all false and untrue."
"Han Xi's father doesn't know we're married, and neither do outsiders. Han Ming wanted to arrange a marriage between the Han and Sheng families, so he pulled this stunt behind Han Xi's back."
Seeing that her attitude was still acceptable, Xu Fangye asked with a stern face, "Then what about those photos?"
"..." Fang Li paused for a moment before realizing what photo Xu Fangye was referring to.
She frowned slightly and said, "I don't know either, but judging from the angle, it should have been taken secretly. So far, there's only been one shot circulating online. I guess Sheng Qianrui deliberately released it to mislead the public."
"Are you so sure Han Xi didn't betray you?"
Fang Li suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Xu Fangye opposite her.
"Brother, do you think Han Xi is that kind of person?"
Xu Fangye remained silent.
Fang Li: "I believe him."
Xu Fangye stared at her for a while, then suddenly sneered, "You don't even want to be called love-struck. Back then, when you were with that guy surnamed Song, your family couldn't stop you no matter what they did. And now, after such a short time, Han Xi has already become so important to you?"
"Don't mention Song Yuchen, he's not worthy to be compared to Han Xi."
"Tch! You heartless ingrate, you've forgotten your family now that you've found a man! You've been away from Haicheng for so long, and you haven't even thought of going back to see us. Grandpa talks about you every day. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have come to Haicheng to find you long ago."
Xu Fangye added, "And this time, the internet was flooded with insults against you. If I hadn't intervened and quickly cut off the internet at the old house, Grandpa would have been furious!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Li was taken aback and her eyes lit up. "You mean Grandpa doesn't know yet?"
Xu Fangye rolled his eyes at her and snorted coldly.
Fang Li felt relieved and immediately stood up, smiling as she went over.
"Brother, dear brother, I was so rude! You're so busy, and I made you worry and come all this way myself. It's understandable that you're angry!"
Fang Li took Xu Fangye's arm and said with a fawning look, "Tell me, as long as it makes you feel better, I'll do whatever you want!"
Xu Fangye turned his head and glanced at her: "Are you sure?"
Fang Li nodded seriously: "Of course!"
Then she added with a grin, "But I also believe that my brother is so kind, he definitely won't say anything that would make things too difficult for me, right?"
"......" So she said both good and bad things!
Xu Fangye was truly at a loss for words when faced with such a younger sister.
"I can help you keep this from Grandpa, but!"
Fang Li blinked and listened quietly.
Xu Fangye turned around and looked at her seriously, saying, "I don't care if you want to start your own business or be independent. As the daughter of the Xu family, being bullied like this is a disgrace to the Xu family! If Han Xi can't come back and explain things clearly by tomorrow, I will attend the Sheng family's engagement banquet. I want to see what right a declining century-old family has to bully my sister!"
I barely ate anything during the meal; I watched Xu Fangye unleash his power the whole time.
As soon as Xu Fangye arrived, Xu Chengchuan, the third brother, immediately stepped aside, gloating and only caring about eating, not bothering to say a word.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the group of five finally came out of the restaurant.
Yu Tian and Wen Yang walked together, while Fang Li linked arms with Xu Fangye on the left and Xu Chengchuan on the right, heading towards the parking lot.
"I'll go see Wen Yang off," Yu Tian said, pulling Wen Yang along.
Fang Li deliberately glanced at Wen Yang with a smile in her eyes, while Wen Yang stiffened her neck and turned her face slightly away.
"Okay, slow down on the road."
Yu Tian nodded and led Wen Yang toward the car.
Fang Li suddenly remembered something and deliberately asked loudly, "By the way! Brother Tian, are you coming back tonight?"
Yu Tian didn't say anything, but waved his hand behind his back.
Fang Li was certain that she saw Wen Yang's legs go weak.
She chuckled to herself, watching the two get into the car. As the car drove past them, Wen Yang, sitting in the passenger seat, waved calmly, but her ears were red.
The car drove away.
Fang Li shrank back: "Shall we go too?"
Xu Chengchuan: "Wait for me here, I'll go get the car."
The two nodded.
After Xu Chengchuan left, Fang Li hugged Xu Fangye's arm like a heater while secretly asking, "Brother, do you know why Third Brother suddenly came to the capital?"
Xu Fangye, fiddling with his phone, didn't even look up when he heard this, and said, "I don't know. His missions are always kept secret, why would he tell me?"
Xu Chengchuan drives a Volkswagen Tiguan, which was provided by the police station.
He still had things to do, so after dropping Fang Li and Xu Fangye off at the villa halfway up the mountain, he turned around and went back to the North City Branch.
Back home, Fang Li asked Aunt Rong to tidy up the guest room and settle Xu Fangye in before going back to her room to wash up.
The matter has been making headlines for the past few days, but tomorrow will be the real test. Fang Li took a quick bath and went to bed.
Regardless of whether Han Xi can come back or not, she must be prepared for the possibility that he may not be able to return in time.
The Sheng family and Han Ming probably don't want Han Xi to come back, right?
They figured that as long as Han Xi didn't come back, the engagement banquet tomorrow could be decided by the elders of both families, and the marriage was settled in a daze.
At that time, the truth will be revealed whether she was wronged or a real mistress.
All those little tricks Sheng Qianrui and Han Ming have been up to these past two days are just a way to use public opinion to make her flee Beijing like a rat with its tail between its legs.
Since that's the case, she'll give them a big surprise in return!
-
The engagement banquet for the Han and Sheng families was held at the H Hotel in the city center.
For no other reason than that the H Hotel has the largest banquet hall in the country, with a luxurious and high-end decor that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time.
With Han Ming in charge, H Hotel began making intensive preparations for the banquet two days in advance.
Bright crystal chandeliers, like undulating blue roses, stretched from the stage all the way to the entrance. On either side of the entrance were two champagne towers taller than a person. The staff coming and going showed how much importance the Han and Sheng families attached to this engagement banquet.
Not only that, Han Ming also found a photo of Han Xi from somewhere and photoshopped it together with a photo of Sheng Qianrui, making it into posters and standees of all sizes, which were posted everywhere.
At first glance, it doesn't look like an engagement; it looks more like a wedding.
Sheng Qianrui didn't sleep all night. She dozed off for a few tens of minutes in the early morning, and her eyelids kept twitching after she woke up.
After confirming with her father once again that there would be no problems, she suppressed her anxiety and went to the hotel with the styling team.
