"Elder Han, Brother Han, please come in quickly..."
Fang Guowen welcomed Han Anhong and Han Yutang, father and son, into the villa, smiling. "Have you had dinner yet?"
"Not yet."
Han Yutang glanced at Fang Yanxi, who stood on the steps at the villa entrance with a blank expression and cold eyes, and smiled unnaturally.
"Perfect, we haven't eaten either. My wife is making dinner inside now. Elder Han, please stay for dinner."
Fang Guowen and Fang Shoushan enthusiastically invited the Han father and son, not noticing Fang Yanxi's extremely cold expression.
"Come, come, Old Han, sit..."
Fang Shoushan pulled Han Anhong towards a chair at the tea table. Seeing him supporting his waist to sit down, he asked, "Old Han, what's wrong with your waist?"
Han Anhong sighed, "I went hiking in Wugong Mountain a while ago and fell halfway. I injured my old waist, but I'm much better now."
"Is that so?" Fang Shoushan said, "You're an old bone. You should climb mountains less in the future."
"Hehe, it can't be helped. It's only when I'm old that I realize how important my body is."
Han Anhong smiled, then patted Fang Shoushan's thigh and chuckled, "I brought some tea for you to try."
"Great."
Fang Shoushan smiled.
Han Anhong immediately said to Han Yutang, "Yutang, bring the Taiping Houkui I've been saving."
"Alright..."
Han Yutang took the gift box in his hand and handed it to Han Anhong. He then opened it and took out a small box. The packaging was exquisite, made of sandalwood, indicating the tea was incredibly expensive.
"Wow, this is good stuff."
As soon as Fang Shoushan saw this Taiping Houkui tea, he recognized it as a rare and famous tea that had once sold for a sky-high price of 200,000 yuan per hundred grams, equivalent to two million yuan per kilogram. He was surprised by Han Anhong's generosity tonight, giving him such good tea without any apparent reason.
This made Fang Guowen and Fang Shoushan realize that the Han father and son's sudden visit tonight must have another purpose!
"Come, Guowen, you're the best at brewing tea. Brew some first."
Han Anhong handed the tea box to Fang Guowen, who nodded. Noticing the kettle was empty, he turned and called out to Fang Yanxi, who was outside the door, "Yanxi, bring me a kettle of water."
Fang Yanxi, who had been standing outside with a cold face, walked in. It was then that Fang Shoushan noticed his granddaughter's displeasure. Han Anhong, sitting beside him, looked at Fang Yanxi and chuckled, "Since Yanxi returned from abroad, I haven't seen her. She's grown into a young lady in these two years."
"Yes, it's time to find someone for her to marry."
Fang Shoushan, not knowing why his granddaughter was suddenly so cold, echoed with a smile.
After filling a kettle of water, Fang Yanxi placed it heavily on the tea table. Fang Guowen and Fang Shoushan were startled. They turned to look at Fang Yanxi, whose face was grim. They were about to scold her, but Fang Yanxi spoke first, saying coldly to Han Anhong and Han Yutang, "If you're here to apologize, please leave. I won't accept it!"
Han Anhong's old eyes narrowed. Han Yutang looked at his father; it seemed he had anticipated Fang Yanxi's attitude.
However, Fang Shoushan and Fang Guowen, bewildered, looked at Fang Yanxi and said, "Yanxi, what are you saying? How can you speak to your elders like this?"
"Old Fang, Guowen..."
Han Anhong then raised his hand towards Fang Shoushan and Fang Guowen. He adjusted his glasses and looked at the cold-faced Fang Yanxi, smiling, "Yanxi, I know Yuzhe did something wrong to you. We've come tonight to sincerely apologize and hope you can forgive Yuzhe. He was confused and did something like that. What do you think?"
At this point, Fang Shoushan and Fang Guowen finally realized the problem. They glanced at the Han father and son. Fang Shoushan turned to Fang Yanxi and asked, "Yanxi, what happened?"
Fang Yanxi's face remained cold. Seeing Han Anhong's condescending and insincere apology made her tremble with anger, rendering her speechless.
"Then, Elder Fang, it's like this."
Han Yutang then took the initiative to speak to Fang Shoushan and Fang Guowen. "Last night at the exchange party, my scoundrel son Yuzhe bullied Yanxi. That's why we specifically came to apologize to Yanxi."
Fang Shoushan and Fang Guowen frowned. They turned to Fang Yanxi again and asked, "Yanxi, how did Yuzhe bully you? Tell Grandpa."
Fang Guowen's heart sank. Seeing his daughter's gloomy expression and sharp gaze, he knew that Han Yuzhe must have done something excessive to her.
No wonder she hadn't come home until so late; something had indeed happened!
"Brother Fang, Yuzhe has wronged Yanxi!"
Han Yutang stood up, knowing that the matter couldn't be kept from Fang Shoushan and Fang Guowen. He apologized sincerely to Fang Yanxi, "Yanxi, I know Yuzhe acted very excessively. I've already punished that scoundrel for you. We sincerely hope you can forgive him..."
Seeing his daughter's reddened eyes and trembling body from anger, Fang Guowen frowned and immediately got up, pulling her into the kitchen. Du Xiumei saw her daughter's anger and pale face and asked, "Yanxi, what's wrong?"
"Yanxi, tell me the truth. How exactly did Han Yuzhe bully you?" Fang Guowen asked, his face grim, realizing the seriousness of the matter. Otherwise, his daughter wouldn't be so angry and wronged.
Finally unable to hold back, Fang Yanxi's suppressed grievances caused her to shed tears. "He, he drugged me and wanted to..."
"What, drugged you?"
Fang Guowen and Du Xiumei were shocked, their eyes wide as they looked at their daughter. "Then he..."
Fang Yanxi shook her head and said, "It was Yun Ting who saved me. He didn't succeed."
"Outrageous."
Fang Guowen's eyes widened with anger, and he cursed loudly.
He never expected Han Yuzhe to dare do such a thing to his daughter. "No, I'm going to confront them..."
Saying this, Fang Guowen walked out in a huff, his angry eyes fixed on Han Anhong and Han Yutang, gritting his teeth, "Where is Han Yuzhe? Tell him to come and see me!"
"Guowen, what's going on?"
Seeing his son also looking furious, Fang Shoushan asked.
"Dad, Han Yuzhe drugged Yanxi last night and almost did something excessive to her!" Fang Guowen said indignantly.
"What, drugged her?"
Fang Shoushan was shocked. He turned to look at Han Anhong and Han Yutang, father and son. Fang Guowen said angrily, "Han Yutang, I never expected you to raise such a despicable, shameless, and ill-bred son! He dared to drug my daughter and harbor ill intentions. It's utterly shameless."
At these words, Han Anhong was displeased, his old face sinking. "Guowen, your words are too harsh!"
"Yuzhe did wrong to your daughter, but the matter didn't cause severe consequences. Aren't you insulting me, an old man, with your words?"
Fang Guowen glared at Han Anhong coldly, gritting his teeth. "Elder Han, I'm just stating the facts. If your grandson truly did something to my daughter, what do you expect us to do?"
"It's simple, I'll let Yuzhe marry your daughter!"
Han Anhong looked up and met Fang Guowen's gaze coldly. "Let your daughter marry into my Han family. That's not excessive, is it?"
"You..."
This statement thoroughly angered Fang Guowen. His body trembled violently. He couldn't believe Han Anhong would say such a thing, considering it an insult to their Fang family.
Fang Shoushan's old face also turned grim. He said angrily, "Old Han, do you think my Fang family is easy to bully!"
Han Anhong turned to him and said, "Old Fang, I'm not trying to bully your Fang family. In fact, I'm here tonight to apologize to Fang Yanxi, but also to propose marriage!"
"Propose marriage..."
These words infuriated Fang Guowen and Fang Shoushan. Han Anhong was truly an old scoundrel, utterly shameless. After his grandson committed such an act, he still intended to propose marriage, asking Fang Yanxi to marry Han Yuzhe. Wasn't this a blatant humiliation of the Fang family?
