Chapter 268 Like an Old Child
"Mrs......."
Seeing her come in, Aunt Rong came over with a worried look on her face.
"what happened?"
Aunt Rong said in a low voice, "It's the old lady. Since neither you nor the master were here, I couldn't stop them, so they just came in."
Fang Li first looked at Han Ming, who was sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, and then turned her gaze to an elderly woman with gray hair and a thin figure sitting next to him.
Old lady?
So, she is Han Xi's grandmother?
The old lady Han who frightens Yang Miao, and who, along with Han Ming, has been so keen on introducing potential partners to Han Xi?!
Where is Yang Miao?
“In the room, she said she still had homework to review.”
Fang Li knew immediately that she was avoiding these people.
He patted Aunt Rong's hand reassuringly, "It's alright, you go and prepare dinner first, I'll take care of things here."
Aunt Rong nodded uneasily: "Okay."
Watching Aunt Rong walk into the kitchen, glancing back every few steps, Fang Li turned to look at the living room, then put down her bag and went over.
"Chairman Han, Madam."
Upon hearing her voice, Han Ming and the old lady next to him finally looked up.
Han Ming's expression remained unchanged, and his gaze towards her remained indifferent.
The old lady showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, probably because she was surprised that they had never met her before, yet she could easily guess her identity, and she greeted her directly without being humble or arrogant.
Today, Lin Wenfang wore a deep purple velvet cheongsam with a maroon knitted shawl over it, a lustrous pearl necklace around her neck, and matching earrings.
Although she is over seventy years old, she takes good care of her face and wears light makeup, making her look much younger than her actual age.
Holding a teacup in her hand, she looked calmly at Fang Li and asked, "Are you the woman Xiu Jin has taken a liking to?"
Fang Li raised an eyebrow, smiled, and remained silent.
Lin Wenfang didn't mind and continued, "She's certainly beautiful, but it's a pity..."
Unfortunately, she didn't say what it was.
However, Fang Li could sense that the mother and son had ulterior motives for visiting her today, and it was unlikely that they were there to see her.
Sure enough, seeing that Fang Li remained silent, Han Ming's face fell.
"Mom, did you see that? She doesn't even care about us. I really don't know what Xiu Jin was thinking. After all that picking and choosing, he actually chose this woman, and he even drove away his own sister for her!"
"You mean Shiyu is because of her...?"
Han Ming immediately said angrily, "Yes! I don't know how I scared Shi Yu's dog, and the dog bit me. In the end, I complained to Xiu Jin, which made Shi Yu run away abroad overnight and she hasn't dared to come home for so long."
Lin Wenfang's expression finally changed slightly. Although she didn't look downcast, a hint of displeasure could be seen in her eyes.
"Your surname is Xu?"
Fang Li: "Yes."
"What is your relationship with the Xu family of Haicheng?"
"..." Fang Li was surprised. This old lady was quite shrewd. Had she found out her identity so quickly?
Fang Li moved her lips, just about to answer truthfully, when Han Ming across from her suddenly sneered first.
"What could a minor celebrity with a lot of scandals have to do with the Xu family! Besides, even though we only stayed in Haicheng for half a year back then, we still had quite a bit of contact with the Xu family. The Xu family doesn't have a girl as old as her!"
Lin Wenfang frowned: "No? I seem to remember there was a child who played quite well with Xiu Jin back then, the one in the video, the one who was holding Xiu Jin, wasn't he a child from the Xu family?"
Han Ming shook his head: "No, you're mistaken. That's a child who goes to the same kindergarten as Xiu Jin, and seems to be two years younger than Xiu Jin. He must belong to someone else. At least I've never seen him when I went to the Xu family's house, and I've never heard the Xu family mention him."
"So that's how it is... I remember Xiujin really liked playing with that child when he was little. After we left, he was depressed for a long time and even got very sick."
Fang Li listened quietly, feeling surprised.
Get ill.......
Fang Li remembers that she was less than four years old at that time. She was too young to remember many things and people.
Judging by the timeline, Han Xi should have been around five or six years old at that time, right?
It turned out that he and she had only been kindergarten classmates for half a year, and not even in the same class. The video... Fang Li suddenly became curious about the video that recorded the two of them.
She wanted to see if five or six-year-old Han Xi was as serious and composed as he was now, like an old child.
Fang Li couldn't help but smile when she thought of that scene.
It was only for a split second, but by sheer coincidence, Han Ming on the other side still managed to catch him.
Han Ming's expression instantly darkened, and he didn't bother with further beating around the bush, saying directly, "Miss Xu, you should already know why we've come to your door today, right?"
Fang Li's smile vanished instantly, and she gently raised her eyes: "I'm sorry, I didn't know."
"Don't know?" Han Ming sneered, "You made such a big scene at the trade center yesterday, and you generously bought all the jewelry in our Han's Jewelry store, and even got 10% of the shares for nothing. Don't you have anything to explain?"
"Explain what?"
Seeing that she was unmoved by his words and remained indifferent, Han Ming's face darkened with anger.
His face darkened, and his voice suddenly rose: "Miss Xu! I'm only wasting my time speaking nicely to you out of respect for Xiu Jin. If you continue to play dumb, then don't blame me for not giving you any face!"
Fang Li remained expressionless and silent, adopting an attitude of observing and waiting to see how he would disrespect her.
Han Ming's face turned ashen, his eyes glaring at Fang Li as he angrily demanded, "Where is the equity transfer agreement? If you know what's good for you, hand it over yourself and sign this new equity transfer agreement. Then I might reluctantly consider letting you leave here with some dignity!"
"Snapped!"
Looking at the folder that Han Ming had forcefully thrown onto the coffee table, Fang Li's eyes finally changed slightly, and when she looked up, a half-smile appeared on her face.
She slowly lifted her foot and walked to the single sofa opposite the two of them, where she sat down.
He then spoke calmly: "Chairman Han, you are Han Xi's father, and by rights you are also my elder. I should have treated you with courtesy and hospitality when you came to visit, but you have never paid any attention to me every time you show up. So, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't treat you as a normal elder."
"Indeed, there's no need! My Han family doesn't need a junior like you who uses your looks to seduce men with sweet words!"
It's really unpleasant to hear such words coming from an elder.
Fang Li's eyes turned cold, but the corners of her mouth lifted slightly: "Since that's the case, then many things are much easier to say, and there are some things I don't need to worry about so much when it comes to getting things done."
Seeing her sneer, Han Ming's face darkened: "What do you want to do?!"
