Chapter 227: The Wealthy Family is Cold and Warm
Fang Yang's gaze suddenly turned cold, and he stared at it fiercely. I saw an old man in his seventies sitting on the sofa with a cold face, his hair was almost white, and his body was thin. The bridge of the old man's nose is very high, it is a typical hooked nose, and a pair of small eyes flashes with an unkind gaze.
Fang Yang recognized it at a glance, this was the younger brother of the old man Han Changzheng, named Han Zhongze, in his previous life, Fang Yang was not impressed by this person, because although he was the old man's younger brother, his rank was not high when he was in office, if he was not mistaken, he should have retired from the post of director of the Ministry of Agriculture.
Because Han Zhongze's ability is not too strong, in terms of the overall situation, compared to his nephew Han Lingfei and Han Junfei, they can't catch up, and Han Zhongze's hands and feet are not very clean when he is in office, it is said that he embezzled a sum of poverty alleviation funds from the central government without permission, and almost lost his official hat because of this. Old Man Han mediated for his brother's sake, so he got through the danger. However, with Old Man Han's upright personality, it is already a violation of his bottom line of principles to come forward to intercede, so Han Zhong has never advanced in his career since then, and he retired with the level of the main hall.
This also caused a situation in which Han Zhong was very senior in the Han family, but the actual helmsman was Han Lingfei.
However, although Han Zhong himself is relatively defeated, his son and daughter are better than him. Son Han Ming is already the director of the Seventh Discipline Inspection and Supervision Office of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection in his early forties, and his daughter Han Meizi is the general manager of the Han Group, which is actually the representative of the Han family in the business world.
Han Xuehua was already about to walk towards Han Lingfei, but at this time, he couldn't help but stop, looked at Han Zhongze, and called out in a low voice:
"Second Uncle......"
Han Zhong had an expressionless face on his face, and said in a strange manner:
"I don't dare to be the title of the second uncle! Ms. Han, I don't know what you are doing when you come to my Han family this time? β
Han Xuehua's eyes, which were already a little red and swollen from crying, suddenly turned red again, and she didn't know how to answer for a while in the face of Han Zhongze's questioning.
The expressions of Han Lingfei and Han Junfei also became a little strange, and Han Lingfei showed a trace of embarrassment, his brows furrowed without a trace, and said lightly:
"Xiaohua, come and sit down first!"
Han Zhong saw that Han Lingfei ignored him directly, and his eyes were glaring and he wanted to attack, perhaps because Han Lingfei was very deterrent, Han Zhong endured it vividly, just snorted coldly, and turned his face away.
Fang Yang's cold eyes swept Han Zhongze, and then helped Han Xuehua to the sofa next to Han Lingfei and sat down, while Fang Yang stood beside Han Xuehua and looked coldly at the Han family members in the lounge.
In addition to Han Zhongze, his son Han Ming, daughter Han Meizi, and son-in-law Zhou Xifu were also present, and in addition, several other core members of the Han family also looked at Han Lingfei and Han Zhongze uncertainly. Han Ming sat calmly on the sofa near the door, as if what had happened had nothing to do with him, and only when his gaze swept over Fang Yang would he show a hint of curiosity.
And Han Meizi was close to Zhou Xifu, sitting next to Han Zhongze, and she also looked at Han Xuehua with burning eyes, as if she wanted to cause some pressure on Han Xuehua.
Han Lingfei cleared his throat and said:
"Everyone, I originally wanted to go back to the old mansion and announce it, since everyone is here today, then I will announce here that from today onwards, my little sister Han Xiaohua will officially return to the Han family, and her son Fang Yang will also recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. More than 20 years have passed since the events of that year, and all the grievances have been revealed, I hope you will stop worrying about it, our Han family must unite at this difficult time! β
At this time, it was Han Zhong who said coldly:
"Ling Fei, when you raised this matter at the family meeting a few days ago, I made it clear that I objected, and today I still have reservations! You're thinking about it! The Yu family was already eyeing my Han family, wouldn't it add fuel to the fire to let her return to the family at this juncture? β
Han Zhong mentioned the Yu family, Fang Yang couldn't help but show a strange expression on his face, he thought of the past that day Han Lingfei said, his mother Han Xuehua's "desperate feet" were extremely sharp! not only kicked the Yu family and the Han family, who had a good relationship, to the opposite side, but also kicked himself out of the Han family.
The corners of Han Lingfei's mouth twitched, and he asked rhetorically:
"Second uncle, the Yu family and the Fan family have coveted our Han family for a long time, could it be that if the little sister doesn't come back, they will be kind enough to let the Han family go? You're naΓ―ve to think so! β
Han Lingfei inherited the upright temperament of Old Man Han, although he has been tempered and mellow a little over the years, it is absolutely impossible for him to do things against his will because of external pressure. No matter how bad Han Jiaxing is, he will only seek self-preservation through his own strength, instead of compromising for perfection! Under Fang Yang's hint, Han Lingfei vigorously promoted the cooperation between the Fang family and the Han family, which was the expression of the Han family's initiative.
However, this matter is also a top secret in the Han family, only Han Lingfei knows about it, and it is completely he and Comrade Jin Guo who communicate alone, and even Han Junfei is now in the dark.
Han Zhong couldn't help but be speechless for a while, and only said stupidly for a while:
"We can't say that, at this time, we shouldn't stimulate the Yu family so high-profile and give them the truth to deal with the Han family!"
As soon as Han Zhong said this, even Han Xuehua's brother Han Junfei showed a look of approval. Although emotionally he also hopes that his sister can return to the family, from the perspective of family interests, he supports Han Zhongze's point of view.
"Why can't the daughter of my Han family return to the family? Is there anything wrong with the old father, who is already dying, and wants to serve the decoction by his side as a daughter? If the Yu family really dares to use this as an excuse to deal with the Han family, then they had better be mentally prepared to meet my Han family's fierce counterattack! Han Lingfei said domineeringly.
Han Zhong was dumbfounded by Han Lingfei's words, and after a while, he said coldly:
"Ling Fei, you are so bent on going your own way, if the Han family really collapses because of this in the future, then you will be the biggest sinner of the Han family!"
Han Lingfei immediately replied quickly:
"Second uncle, I have already consulted my mother about this matter, she agrees with me, I don't think we need to discuss it anymore!"
"You ......" Han Zhong gritted his teeth and closed his mouth.
Han Lingfei had already moved out the old lady, and he couldn't say anything more. Although the Han family is a big family, this qiΔ is all because of Old Man Han, and Han Lingfei and their lineage are the real descendants.
Han Meizi saw that the scene was a little stiff, and hurriedly came out of the round and said:
"Dad, since my aunt has spoken, let's respect her opinion!"
Han Zhong snorted coldly, leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and stopped talking, obviously he was still worried about this matter in his heart.
Han Meizi set her eyes on Han Xuehua again, showed a fake smile, and said in an exclamatory tone:
"Xiaohua, I haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, we're all old!"
Han Meizi and Han Xuehua are in the same year, Han Xuehua was the little princess of the Han family, and she was beautiful, and she was a star in the Han family, but Han Meizi was much inferior to Han Xuehua because of her father's low position. When she was a child, Han Meizi saw that Han Xuehua had so many beautiful clothes and toys, and when she grew up, the suitors around Han Xuehua formed a long line, but she herself was like an ugly duckling, always living in the shadow of Han Xuehua, which made Han Meizi jealous.
Now, it's all reversed.
Han Meizi has been pampered and maintained quite well over the years, and she looks no different from someone in her thirties. On the other hand, Han Xuehua, who has lived in the countryside for more than 20 years and worked in the fields all day, has aged prematurely, her skin is rough, and the corners of her eyes are also engraved with deep crow's feet, and she has long lost the glamour of the little princess of the past.
When Han Meizi saw the current Han Xuehua, she felt an inexplicable happiness in her heart.
Han Xuehua didn't seem to hear Han Meizi's words, but nodded lightly and said:
"Hello Meizi."
Han Meizi suddenly felt bored, as if she had punched in the air, her eyes fell on Fang Yang on Han Xuehua's side, her eyes rolled, and she said with a smile:
"Xiaohua, this is your son! It's really unforgiving! The younger generation of children is so old! My kid also graduated from college this year...... By the way, where did your son go to college? β
"Rongcheng University." Han Xuehua still had a calm and breezy expression.
"Rongcheng University......" Han Meizi pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Oh, I think I've heard of it." My kid was admitted to Beijing University by himself, majoring in business administration, and just graduated this year. It was already arranged for him to work in the Ministry of Commerce, but I knew that this kid had to study abroad to study for Harvard's MBA, and I could only let him go, and the child always had his own ideas when he was older......"
Han Meizi chattered endlessly, as if she was doing a homely job, but in fact, the sense of superiority in her tone was undoubtedly revealed, in her opinion, there is no difference between Rongcheng University and a vocational college in the countryside, how can it compare to the style of Beijing University? What's more, now that her son is still a top student at Harvard, he will be a serious returnee after the gilding comes back! In comparison, Han Xuehua's son is obviously much inferior.
At this time, Han Zhong, who had been pretending to close his eyes and recuperate, suddenly asked:
"Ling Fei, I just heard you say that you still want this kid to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, right? Then I wonder, does he also want to enjoy the shares and dividends of the family's children? β
