Chapter 356 Leading the Sheng Family to Their Own Demise
"Han Xi, how dare you!"
Without giving Qin Xudong any chance to fight back, Han Xi had already grabbed Qin Xudong by the collar, his voice chillingly cold: "I told you not to touch Ali! If you dare to touch her... the Qin family's story ends here."
Blood trickled from Qin Xudong's mouth, yet he continued to smile. He shook his head, his voice hoarse: "Miss Xu, do you see? This is the man you've set your sights on... He's far more ruthless than me!"
Han Xi had just raised his fist when he heard this, his eyes turned cold, and he turned to look in the other direction.
He saw Xu Fangli standing there unharmed, her watery eyes looking at him, a slight smile playing on her lips.
"Han Xi..."
Fang Li called out softly, and Han Xi gradually loosened his grip on Qin Xudong's hand.
“Ah Li…you…”
"I am fine."
Fang Li lifted her foot and walked towards Han Xi. Seeing the fierceness in his eyes that he couldn't hide in time, she raised her hand and grasped his hand.
"How about you let go first?"
"......"
Han Xi frowned, staring intently at her. After a long while, making sure she was truly alright, he suddenly released Qin Xudong.
Qin Xudong staggered a couple of steps, then steadied himself by holding onto the wall behind him.
He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes darkening as he rubbed his aching right cheek and looked at the two people in front of him.
Han Xi suddenly pulled the woman in front of him into his arms, his arms tightening unconsciously, as if he wanted to meld her into his body to make sure she was really alright.
Fang Li was squeezed so tightly she could hardly breathe, but she still endured it.
She hugged the man back and gently comforted him, "I'm really okay, Qin Xudong didn't do anything to me."
"...What does he want with you?"
"I'll tell you all about this when we get back, don't be angry, okay?"
Han Xi frowned deeply, his voice trembling slightly, his tone cold and ruthless: "If he dares to touch you, I will not let the Qin family off, regardless of whether you are alright or not!"
"I know, and I won't either."
Fang Li buried her face in the man's shoulder and whispered, "But not now."
-
The group watched the two embrace, including Qin Xudong, whose face was gloomy but who did not say anything to disturb them.
Fang Li only let go of the man's embrace after she had calmed him down enough.
The two separated, but Han Xi still held onto Fang Li's hand tightly.
Fang Li felt somewhat helpless, but she didn't say anything until she realized he must have been frightened.
He then turned to Tang Chen and the others behind him and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, for causing such a misunderstanding at the X Group's banquet. Young Master Qin only invited me up for a drink. I forgot to tell Han Xi in time, which made everyone worry."
Tang Chen glanced at Qin Xudong almost imperceptibly, and smiled: "It's alright. Since it was a misunderstanding, it's good that no one is hurt."
"Young Master Qin."
Fang Li looked at Qin Xudong, whose lips had turned blue and whose cheeks were gradually swelling.
"Han Xi acted impulsively just now, and I apologize to you on his behalf."
"..." Qin Xudong stared intently at Han Xi without saying a word.
Fang Li's expression was icy, and she said indifferently, "However, Young Master Qin should also know that you were the one who acted improperly first, so it's understandable that Han Xi is angry. Consider this punch as Young Master Qin's apology, how about that?"
how about it?
What else can we do!
She's already said that, does Qin Xudong still want to hold a grudge and make things worse, which would lead to a complete falling out with the Han family, the Xu family, and even the X Group?
Qin Xudong may be reckless, but he's not stupid!
Even if he were in charge of the Qin family, he wouldn't be confident in angering all three families at the same time!
Qin Xudong gave a forced smile and said, "Since Miss Xu has said so, I naturally have no objection."
Seeing that Qin Xudong wasn't really that irrational, Fang Li breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned to look at the man beside her again.
"Don't be angry anymore, okay? Let's leave here first, alright?"
Han Xi looked down at her.
Fang Li: "You should know who's behind this. To put it bluntly, Qin Xudong is just a pawn. After all, he's a member of the Qin family. Let's leave it at that for now. We'll have plenty of time to get back at him later. Just consider it giving President Tang some face."
"......"
"Han Xi?"
"......"
"husband?"
The man's gloomy expression finally showed a slight change.
Han Xi raised his eyes and coldly glanced at Qin Xudong opposite him, then without saying a word, he took Fang Li's hand and turned to leave the room.
As soon as the two left, the large group of people behind them naturally followed suit.
Only Tang Chen remained in the room.
Once he was sure everyone had left, Tang Chen slowly walked towards Qin Xudong with his hands in his pockets.
"Mr. Qin?"
Qin Xudong frowned. "Why isn't President Tang leaving? Is there something else you want to say?"
Tang Chen curled his lips and stopped a step away from Qin Xudong.
"I heard your father is already preparing his will. Given your position in Chairman Qin's heart, you should know very well how much inheritance you will receive. Right now, there are too many wolves and not enough meat in the Qin family. It might not be easy for you to fight for more on your own. How about it, are you interested in cooperating?"
"........you?"
"I can help Young Master Qin compete for the position of head of the Qin family."
Qin Xudong's gaze was deep, his brows furrowed: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. Mr. Tang, I'm afraid you have other motives?"
"of course."
"what would you like?"
Tang Chen lazily smiled and said, "Young Master Qin will soon find out what I want. Don't worry, I will definitely not make things difficult for Young Master Qin."
"......"
-
On the other side, Fang Li and Han Xi had just left their suite when they saw several furtive figures quickly disappear into the fire escape next door.
"Lin Mo," Han Xi said coldly.
Lin Mo, having received the order, immediately led two bodyguards and chased after them inside.
"They must have been media people who were arranged in advance, but as expected, nothing happened. They probably didn't get any footage."
"We'll know whether we got a shot or not once we take a look."
The group did not return to the banquet hall.
After leaving the hotel, Yu Tian learned that Fang Li was alright and had already left to take Wen Yang to the hospital for a check-up.
Fang Li, Han Xi, and Jian Yunqi stood at the hotel entrance.
A gentle night breeze caressed Fang Li's curly hair, and Han Xi reached out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
"I didn't expect Sheng Qianrui to still be so persistent, making so many moves."
Jian Yunqi stood silently to the side, smoking a cigarette.
Han Xi took off his coat and draped it over Fang Li's shoulders, saying in a deep voice, "It's my fault for being too soft-hearted, which made the Sheng family arrogant and ignorant!"
So what are you planning to do this time?
Jian Yunqi curled his lips: "Don't forget the old man is here. He won't agree to anything too outrageous."
"The Sheng family brought this upon themselves, and even the old man wouldn't tolerate it if he knew."
“But wouldn’t that put Grandpa in a difficult position?” Fang Li suddenly said.
Han Xi glanced at her, as did Jian Yunqi.
Fang Li pulled her clothes closer to her shoulders and said, "Instead of doing something that would put Grandpa in a difficult position, wouldn't it be better to let the Sheng family drive themselves to their doom?"
Han Xi's eyes darkened slightly. "What do you intend to do?"
Fang Li narrowed her eyes and didn't say anything more.
With a slight smile, she suddenly looked up at him and said, "It's a bit cold, shall we go home first?"
".......good."
