Chapter 410 It's come to a life-or-death situation.
"Mr. Xu...Mr. Xu!!!"
A gasp made Lin Miao frown instantly.
Huang Pengde was also dumbfounded and rushed over to help his uncle, "Uncle, what are you doing?!"
Before he could even reach out, his uncle slapped his hand away, yelling, "Get out! You idiot! Do you know who you've offended?!"
Huang Pengde was still completely bewildered, while his uncle was already prostrating himself on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, "President Xu, I was wrong! I was blind and audacious, which is why this ignorant junior in my family offended you!"
"This kid is usually muddle-headed, so I'll accept whatever punishment you give me this time, just please don't take it out on me!"
Hearing that his uncle was going to abandon him, Huang Pengde was shocked: "Uncle, how can you say that! He, he's just a collateral branch of the Xu family, and you're just going to abandon me like this just to please him?!"
"Get out of here! You good-for-nothing idiot! Who told you that President Xu is just a collateral branch of the Xu family? He is the rightful heir of the Xu family of Haicheng, the general manager of the Xu Group, Xu Fangye!"
The mere mention of Xu Fangye's name seemed to freeze the entire hall instantly.
Lin Miao, in particular, looked as if all the blood had been drained from her face, turning her deathly pale.
Huang Pengde's outstretched finger trembled slightly: "Xu, Xu Fangye... that young master of the Xu family who took over the Xu family at the age of nineteen and doubled the group's assets in just five years?!"
Uncle Huang Pengde cried, tears streaming down his face, "President Xu, it's all my fault! Please, please forgive me..."
The atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became strange.
Several classmates who had just helped Huang Pengde were already gasping for breath and trembling all over.
Looking at Song Yuchen again, he looked as if he had been struck by lightning. Incredulity, doubt, shock, hurt, regret, and all sorts of emotions were gathered on his face.
The Xu family?
It really is the Xu family of Haicheng!
Xu Fangli, Xu Fangye........
What exactly did he do?
He should have thought of it earlier!
The students looked at Fang Li with surprise, nervousness, fear, and also delight and surprise...
Xu Fangli felt both pleased and bitter watching this scene.
These are her former classmates. No wonder she doesn't like attending these kinds of events. I don't know when it started, but those innocent classmates have all turned into sharks that smell blood, ready to turn around at any moment.
"So what if he's the general manager of the Xu Group?"
Lin Miao was still being defiant, but her voice had noticeably weakened, "Even the Xu family of Haicheng can't disrespect the Shengshi Group, can they?!"
"idiot."
A bespectacled boy hissed, "What is Shengshi Group anyway! An old company that made its fortune in mortgage lending, everyone in the industry knows it's been declining all these years. And Xu's..."
He looked at Xu Fangye with awe and said, "Mr. Xu was just named one of the most influential business leaders under 30 in Asia by Fortune magazine last year. The shipping business owned by the Xu Group alone is something that the Shengshi Group can't compare to!"
An awkward silence enveloped the banquet hall.
The classmates who had just mocked Han Xi now wished they could crawl under the table.
Song Yucheng looked like he had swallowed a fly; his brows were furrowed and his eyes were full of regret.
Looking at Lin Miao again, she finally stopped being stubborn.
He stood there blankly, his shoulders slumped, and a panicked fear flickered in his eyes.
"Lin Miao, since your sister is Lin Lan, didn't she tell you that I have a lot of grudges with Shengshi Group, to the point where it's a matter of life and death?"
Lin Miao was stunned, her lips trembling in disbelief.
The reason she brought up Lin Lan's identity was to put Fang Li in a bad light.
In fact, Lin Lan is not her biological sister at all, but her cousin.
The relationship between her uncle's family and her family had already soured when her grandparents passed away. Her uncle's family moved to Hangzhou and has rarely returned since.
She didn't have a deep relationship with her cousin Lin Lan; their blood ties were the only factor, and they were only somewhat cordial when they met.
Given this relationship, how could Lin Lan possibly discuss work-related matters with her?
At the level of Shengshi Group, she has even less access to certain information.
Lin Miao panicked completely: "That's your business with Shengshi Group, what does it have to do with me?!"
Fang Li chuckled: "It's okay now? Who was it that said Shengshi Group wouldn't let me off the hook if I messed with her?"
"..." Lin Miao clenched her fists tightly, staring intently at Fang Li.
"I didn't bother with you when we were in school because studying was the most important thing to me back then. Your underhanded tactics didn't cause me any real harm, so I couldn't be bothered. But now..."
Fang Li's expression turned cold as she said, "I have the time and energy, and I don't want to see you jumping around like this anymore, so..."
"You're finished."
After speaking, Fang Li coldly swept her gaze across the astonished and silent faces of her classmates, then turned to Wang Wenbin.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I made you laugh today."
Wang Wenbin was still reeling from the fact that Xu Fangli was the daughter of the Xu family.
Upon hearing this, he quickly stood up and said, "It's alright, it's alright. It's not your fault that this happened today. It's just that these classmates are all so unruly."
The students all lowered their heads.
Fang Li smiled indifferently: "It's okay. I can understand everyone's actions. After all, in their eyes, I'm just an ordinary person. It's human nature to curry favor with the powerful."
"Teacher, I'm afraid we can't have dinner today. I've finished dealing with my business and I'll be leaving now. I'll treat you to dinner another time as an apology."
Fang Li nodded to Wang Wenbin and turned to leave.
Everyone was puzzled and uneasy. She only said that Lin Miao was finished, but did not say how to deal with her.
For a moment, Lin Miao and the other classmates felt incredibly uneasy as they watched her leave.
"Xu Fangli, what do you mean?! You're just going to leave like this?!"
Lin Miao was the one who was most afraid.
Fang Li glanced at her sideways and said with a smirk, "Don't worry, you'll soon find out what happens to you."
Han Xi never intervened because, in his view, she should handle her own affairs so that she could resolve her inner conflicts.
Furthermore, since Haicheng is Xu family territory and Xu Fangye is there, Fang Li will be perfectly safe.
After Fang Li finished speaking, he took her hand and asked softly, "Going home?"
Xu Fangli nodded.
Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, Song Yuchen strode forward and blocked his way.
"Fang Li, I..."
"Song Yuchen, I'm not joking about ruining you. I think from now on you should cherish everything you have, because..."
Fang Li slightly lifted her foot and stood in front of him, saying, "You will soon have nothing left."
"......"
