Chapter 418 I don't need your fake kindness
Han Shiyu gritted her teeth and slowly raised her head while everyone else looked unwell and remained silent.
Her eyes reddened, instantly welling up with tears. With a face full of grievance and guilt, she pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been here. Grandpa, please don't be angry. I... I'll leave right away!"
After saying that, she pushed back her chair, got up, and ran away.
Han Guodong remained calm and ignored him completely, but how could Han Ming remain unmoved?
"Shiyu! Shiyu, where are you?!"
However, Han Shiyu's figure had already quickly disappeared outside the door.
Soon a servant came in to report: "Master, Miss Han has run away. The mountain road is quite far, should we...?"
Xu Qingrang frowned and sighed slightly: "Fine, let the security personnel along the way keep an eye on things."
"Yes, I'll do it right away..."
"no need!"
Han Ming glared angrily at Han Guodong, then looked at Xu Qingrang with a gloomy expression: "You're the ones who drove Shiyu away, now I don't need your fake kindness, I'll go find her myself!"
Han Ming stormed off in a huff.
Completely disregarding the purpose of their visit, they abandoned their family and showed no concern for Han Xi's feelings, kicking away the chair and leaving decisively and swiftly.
Shen Ruyan was even stunned for a moment, and a few seconds later an unprecedented disappointment appeared in her eyes.
Han Guodong's face turned ashen. Watching the figure disappear through the door, he was so angry he almost fainted.
Lin Wenfang stared at Fang Li with an unfriendly expression. Although she didn't say anything, her tense expression revealed that she harbored resentment.
The restaurant remained silent for a long time before Xu Qingrang finally broke the silence.
"Alright, it seems you're not in the mood to discuss the children's marriage today. Miss Han's actions are absurd. It's understandable that the Xu family would call the police, but for the sake of the children, we'll leave this matter to your Han family to resolve."
Xu Qingrang said in an unquestionable tone, "If this matter cannot be properly resolved and the Xu family cannot be given an explanation, we will not feel comfortable marrying Guobao into your Han family."
What was supposed to be a joyous occasion ended in a bitter falling out.
Afterwards, Xu Qingrang originally invited Han Guodong to stay at the Xu family home temporarily, but Han Guodong was too embarrassed to stay and directly took his people to stay at a hotel.
Several elders went to stay at a hotel, and Han Xi naturally went along.
After Han Xi left with his men, Xu Qingrang's expression remained unchanged, but Xu Tingfeng's expression was not so pleasant.
"Guobao, shouldn't you give your parents an explanation about the Han family?"
The family moved to the living room, while the maid carefully tidied up the dining room.
Fang Li and Xu Fangye were sitting on a two-seater sofa. Upon hearing this, Fang Li secretly pinched Xu Fangye's thigh with her hand hanging by her side.
Xu Fangye winced in pain and immediately moved to the side, then remained silent, unmoved.
Seeing that Xu Fangye was unreliable, Fang Li took a deep breath and could only explain herself.
"Actually, Han Shiyu did all those things herself; the rest of the Han family didn't..."
"Even now, you still want to protect them?"
Xu Tingfeng stared at his daughter with exasperation: "You saw the attitude of their family members today. Han Xi's father was clearly protecting Han Shiyu and refused to acknowledge how vicious Han Shiyu's behavior was!"
"And Han Xi's grandmother, she's biased too. Han Shiyu is just an adopted daughter. If she were kind-hearted and decent, it would be understandable that they would protect her. But at such a young age, she's so vicious and can't distinguish right from wrong. She doesn't even care about the feelings of her own son, Han Xi, for that girl. I really...!"
Xu Tingfeng was speechless by the end.
Xu Qingrang and Fang Yun remained silent, having gained a new understanding of the Han family today.
Xu Fangye, however, saw Fang Li beside him with her head down, not saying a word, fidgeting with her fingers, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, before he spoke.
"The Han family is indeed more complicated than ours. In fact, Han Shiyu is nothing compared to Han Xi's two uncles, who are the real troublemakers. Including Han Xi's father, who has been trying to take control of the Han family from Han Xi all these years, and therefore has always been hostile to Han Xi."
"So complicated?"
Fang Yun looked at Fang Li with some worry and said, "It seems that it's not easy for Xiu Jin to survive in the Han family. If our Guo Bao were to marry into that family again..."
"Fortunately, the deal didn't go through today. In my opinion, let's just let it go. I didn't want our Guobao to marry so far away anyway. The Han family is in a mess right now, so they can't say anything if we back out."
"Dad!" Xu Tingfeng's words made Fang Li slightly flustered.
Xu Fangye glanced at his younger sister and said, "The Han family is indeed a bit complicated. If it were in the first place, I wouldn't have let my sister have any contact with the Han family, but now that she and Han Xi have already registered their marriage, it would be difficult for her to back out..."
Xu Tingfeng gets angry just thinking about it.
"How dare you bring this up! Your sister is young and doesn't understand, do you? You didn't even know the situation of the Han family, yet you dared to let her get a marriage certificate with that Han family brat!"
"Dad, how can you blame me for this?!"
"Who else should we blame but you? Your mother and I are abroad most of the time, your grandfather is in poor health and can't come down the mountain, and we entrusted your sister to your care. Is this how you act as a brother?!"
Xu Fangye felt wronged, but considering that he was indeed involved in the matter, he pursed his lips and ultimately decided not to argue further.
Xu Tingfeng panted heavily, then looked at Xu Qingrang, who was sitting in the head seat, and said, "Dad, in my opinion, let's just call off the marriage with the Han family. When that Han kid comes back, we'll tell him directly, while both sets of parents are here, let him and our Guobao go and get the divorce papers done."
“Our Xu family isn’t short of their money, so we can skip the property division and all that. It’s just a formality, and the paperwork can be done on the same day. Once the paperwork is done, we can let him go back with his family. Beijing is prosperous, but Haicheng is just as good. From now on, Guobao can stay in Haicheng to develop her career. Whether she wants to start a company or become a screenwriter, it’s up to her.”
Xu Tingfeng's words made Xu Qingrang hesitate for a moment.
Fang Li panicked completely when she saw this, "Grandpa!"
“Your father has a point. The interpersonal relationships in the Han family are too complicated. Your grandfather is worried that you won’t be able to handle it after you marry into the family.”
Fang Li: "I married Han Xi, not anyone else in his family. Besides, with Han Xi around, he won't let me suffer any grievances. I'm all grown up now and have the ability to protect myself. I won't let anyone else in the Han family bully me!"
"......"
"grandfather?"
Fang Li was anxious and looked at Xu Tingfeng again: "Dad, Han Xi and I have already registered our marriage, I will not divorce him!"
Xu Tingfeng's face hardened: "So what if you got the marriage certificate! You must divorce him. The Han family is a cesspool, and I can't just watch you jump in!"
"But I've already jumped in!"
"What do you mean? As long as you get a divorce, you can stay far away from the Han family!"
Fang Li exclaimed anxiously, "What about the baby in my belly?!"
