She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Han Ming felt inferior to his wife, and living in her shadow was a deep-seated problem in his heart.

However, as Han Xi grew up, he also displayed extraordinary business acumen.

He skipped several grades in school, and upon returning to China after graduating from studying abroad, he successfully gained the approval of Han's top management with an investment of up to several billion yuan, effectively sidelining Han Ming, the chairman.

Once he joined the company, he won over the hearts of the people within the Han Group in just a few months with his iron-fisted methods. Han Ming couldn't even keep the nominal position of chairman and became a lazy director who only received dividends.

Han Xi said that his father's fear of him began around that time.

The fact that Han Xi's assets have grown exponentially in the short few years since he took over the Han family business shows that Han Xi is indeed much more talented in business than his father, Han Ming.

The company he founded had been stagnant until his son, who suddenly returned from abroad, took over with an iron fist, and then began to develop rapidly.

This is undoubtedly a slap in the face to him, the former chairman.

Han Xi now wields considerable influence within the Han family; the "Han" in Han family has long since become Han Xi's. Unfortunately, Han Ming refuses to accept his fate and is determined to reclaim control of the Han family.

Why has he been so concerned about Han Xi's marriage all these years?

It's because Han Xi's current strength is already powerful enough that he cannot tolerate Han Xi finding another wife who could make him even more powerful.

The women Han Ming helped Han Xi find seemed to be from prestigious families, but what was the reality?

The Wen family in the east of the city, the Cui family in the west, the Ren family in the south, the second young lady of Rongfa, the daughter of Jiulin, and so on... They are either powerful families that have long been weak in the outside but strong in the inside, or old companies that have been losing money and barely hanging on.

Such in-laws will not only not help him, but will also be like a bloodsucking leech, once he dares to get close, he will never be able to get rid of them.

In her childhood memories, Fang Li's impression of Han Ming wasn't bad.

Whenever Han Ming is mentioned, the first image that flashes in her mind is him playing soccer with Han Xi on the lawn in their own yard.

At that time, the father and son had such a harmonious relationship.

Fang Li remembers clearly that when she was a child, she envied Han Xi for having a father who could often play with him.

Unlike her, although her parents loved her no less than anyone else, they could only see her a few times a year because of their work.

However, this father and son have developed such a huge rift over the years that they no longer even see each other.

The car drove up the mountain road and soon turned into the manor.

When they finally saw the main house from afar, they noticed that the entrance was somewhat different from usual, with two cars they had never seen before.

"You bought another car?" Fang Li asked Han Xi, looking at the two black Rolls-Royces and Mercedes.

Han Xi glanced at it, then calmly turned the steering wheel and parked the car on the other side.

Turn off the engine and get out of the car.

He then helped Fang Li out of the passenger seat, took her hand, and said, "No."

Who is that?

The two walked towards the entrance of the main house.

As I approached, I heard people talking.

"In a way, Qianrui was in the wrong. She offended Hanxi's girlfriend, so it's understandable that he was angry."

"What girlfriend? She's just a retired minor celebrity who used her looks to get involved with Han Xi. Han Xi, too, I thought he was calm and self-controlled, but I didn't expect him to be so easily tempted." These were the words of Han Ming.

Fang Li and Han Xi stood at the door.

Upon hearing this, Fang Li looked up at the man beside her.

His eyes were deep and his face was as pale as seawater, revealing nothing about him.

At that moment, another voice spoke from inside.

"Based on my understanding of Han Xi, he has always been virtuous and clean-living and is not someone who can resist temptation. The fact that he is so protective of that girl this time shows that he has truly fallen for her. No one can predict marriage. I think you shouldn't be too picky and just agree to it."

"I don't care if he's sincere or not. I might agree to Han Xi's advances with any random woman right now, but I absolutely refuse to date that woman!"

"Old Han, isn't this a bit too arbitrary?"

Han Ming sneered, "Me, being arbitrary? That woman has already managed to force Shi Yu to leave for another place before she even entered the house. If I'm not more arbitrary, won't she kick me out of the house next time?!"

"Chairman Han should indeed leave immediately!" Just as Han Ming finished speaking, a deep voice came from the doorway.

Watching Han Xi walk into the villa with a deep expression, Fang Li silently tightened her grip on his hand and followed him.

The two went inside, and Han Ming, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately looked over.

Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man who was about the same age as him, but looked a bit fatter.

The other person was wearing a beige Chinese-style suit, with a round face, thick neck, broad shoulders, and a slightly protruding belly. His features looked somewhat familiar.

As Fang Li was sizing him up, his shrewd eyes also shifted from Han Xi to her.

"Chairman Sheng," Han Xi greeted him, his lips slightly parted.

Fang Li's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly surprised.

Chairman Sheng?

Sheng Qianrui's father?

Having just seen his daughter, the father personally came to her door.

Should she say the news spread too quickly, or that the two of them were too cunning?

One of them waited for her after get off work, while the other secretly looked for Han Ming.

Is it all for Sun Zhixin?

"Xiu Jin is back." Sheng Jinghui smiled slightly, his round face lifting up, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes making him look like a kind Maitreya Buddha.

But Fang Li knew that some people only looked kind on the outside, but in reality, they were deep and scheming, and ordinary people could not see through them.

Like right now.

Sheng Jinghui's eyes seemed to be smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes; there was even a hint of sinister ruthlessness that sent chills down one's spine.

If it were an ordinary girl, she would probably turn pale in the face in front of such an elder.

Unfortunately, Fang Li is no ordinary person.

Having witnessed the hypocrisy and deceit among the elders of high society since childhood, she was not only knowledgeable but also courageous. Therefore, a subtle glance was not enough to frighten her.

Fang Li stood beside Han Xi with a cool and composed demeanor, meeting Sheng Jinghui's gaze quietly.

After a moment, Sheng Jinghui was the first to look away and turn his gaze back to Han Xi.

"I happened to run into your father at the restaurant today. After dinner, he invited me to come over for a visit. You know how to enjoy life, huh? You've quietly built such a large estate. I hope you don't mind if I suddenly come to visit."

"If someone thinks the Sheng family's house is beautiful and goes in to visit it without the Sheng family's permission, I wonder if the Sheng family would mind?" Han Xi didn't answer, but asked him instead.

Sheng Jinghui's smile froze for a moment, then he slowly smiled again: "It seems you still mind."

Han Xi remained silent.

"Alright, it seems Xiu Jin doesn't welcome me here. Old Han, I'll be leaving now." With that, Sheng Jinghui got up from the sofa.
