Chapter 382 Someone is deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes

Early the next morning, at the Rose Garden.

"Third Master, Young Master Xiu Jin has arrived."

The Rose Garden is located in the suburbs and is the private residence of Han Yi, the third master of the Han family.

When the maid came in to announce the news, Han Yi was on the phone with Han Ming.

"Who's here? Why is that unfilial son coming to see you?"

Han Ming heard the maid's voice on the phone and immediately asked.

Han Yi glanced at the servant, waved his hand at her, and then said, "You probably have something to discuss with me. Let's leave it at that for now and talk to Xiu Jin later."

“When he comes, you can mention it to him. It’s been so long, even the biggest anger should have subsided by now. Shiyu is his sister after all, and there are only two months left until the New Year. We can’t let her spend the New Year alone abroad!”

"Second Brother, Shiyu was the one who made the mistake. You know Xiujin's personality. If I bring it up with him now, I'm afraid it will be..."

"Alright, if you don't want to bring it up, I will! Tell him to wait, I'm coming right now!"

After the call ended, Han Yi stared intently at his phone for a while, then footsteps sounded at the door.

Han Yi put away his phone and looked up, only to see his nephew, dressed casually, stepping in.

"Xiujin, what brings you to your third uncle's place today?"

Han Yi smiled and stood up to greet him.

Han Xi wasn't wearing a suit today; instead, he wore brown casual pants and a black jacket over a white T-shirt.

It looks clean and refreshing, less cold and austere than before, and the sense of distance that keeps strangers away has also diminished considerably.

"I hadn't seen my third uncle for a long time, so I took the opportunity to come and see him."

Han Yi's expression froze for a moment, revealing a hint of being flattered.

Given his nephew's usual personality, he would never have said such polite and warm words.

Besides, he's not stupid; why would he believe such a polite reason for visiting?

"You're so busy. If you miss your third uncle, just say so. He can come to the company to find you. Why bother making the trip yourself? Please have a seat."

As he spoke, Han Yi turned to the servant waiting to the side and said, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly bring some tea."

The uncle and nephew sat down facing each other.

Soon, the servant brought up the brewed tea.

Han Xi lowered his eyes and took a small sip of tea.

Han Yi lifted his eyelids to look at him, then chuckled and said, "I heard your mother is currently helping you with your wedding preparations. It seems you and Miss Xu are finally getting married soon?"

"Speaking of which, I have to thank my third uncle."

Han Yi was surprised: "Me?"

Han Xi looked up and said, "If it weren't for my third and fourth uncles putting on such a show, giving my father and the Sheng family father and daughter time to take advantage of the situation, my affair with Ali wouldn't have been exposed, and the wedding would have been a long way off."

"........"

"So, I have to thank my third uncle."

Seeing Han Yi's slightly furrowed expression, Han Xi picked up his teacup and gently raised it to him as a way of expressing his gratitude.

Han Yi was silent for several seconds before forcing a smile: "What are you saying? It was a misunderstanding. I was genuinely worried about our family's situation in Mamba, which is why I told you. I never expected that things would turn out this way and almost harm my niece-in-law."

Han Xi smiled but remained silent.

Han Yi felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

He cleared his throat, his gaze slightly evasive, then chuckled dryly, "By the way, I heard my niece-in-law invested in a TV series, and apparently something happened to her. Is it serious? Do you need any help?"

"My third uncle is indeed well-informed."

"What do you mean by being well-informed? This is being discussed everywhere online. I just happened to see it."

Han Xi put down his teacup and said calmly, "It's not a big deal. It's just that someone is deliberately causing trouble behind the scenes. Ali can handle it herself."

"That's it, it'll be fine."

"Isn't Third Uncle curious about who's behind all this trouble?"

"what?"

Seeing the doubt in Han Yi's eyes, Han Xi paused and smiled, "It's nothing. It seems that Third Uncle really didn't know about this."

"..." Han Yi froze.

Han Xi suddenly showed up today, and his words were incoherent, giving him a sense of unease.

Sure enough, the next moment Han Xi suddenly said, "Han Shiyu has been abroad for several months now. I wonder if Uncle has been in contact with her recently?"

Upon hearing Han Shiyu's name, Han Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Why is Shiyu being mentioned now? Could this matter be related to her again?!

"Stop trying to pin everything on Shiyu! You've driven her to flee abroad, why won't you leave her alone!"

Han Ming's voice arrived before he did.

The spacious living room was filled with the aroma of tea. Han Yi and Han Xi sat facing each other, and the atmosphere was originally quite harmonious. However, the sudden appearance of Han Ming caused their eyes to collide in the air, and the atmosphere instantly froze.

"Why is Second Brother here?"

Han Yi chuckled, feigning ignorance as he asked the question.

He waved to the servants, urging them to serve tea.

When Han Ming strode over and sat down opposite Han Xi, the servant placed a teacup in front of him.

"Second brother, is there something you need for your sudden visit?"

"Can't I come sit here for a while if there's nothing wrong?"

Han Yi smiled but didn't say anything.

"But Xiu Jin, it's rare to see you come to your third uncle's rose garden on your own initiative. Did you come here suddenly today just to smear Shi Yu?"

The father and son met, and as always, tensions ran high.

Han Xi sat calmly opposite him, his fingertips tapping lightly on the rim of his teacup: "How does Father know that I'm the one spreading rumors, and not that it's the truth?"

"you!"

Han Ming's face darkened: "Shiyu is your sister!"

The sound of Han Yi adding water to the teapot abruptly stopped.

Han Ming frowned deeply, his tone cold and hard: "It's one thing if you don't take care of her, but you doubt your own sister every time something happens. Is this how you act as a brother?!"

Han Xi raised his eyes and looked directly at his father: "The wire stunt accident on the set of 'The Divine Emperor' was orchestrated by Wu Zhongquan at her behest."

"absurd!"

Han Ming slammed his fist on the table. "Shi Yu is abroad, how could she possibly interfere in domestic affairs?!"

Han Xi sneered, "So, in Father's eyes, whatever I say is a trumped-up charge, while whatever Han Shiyu does is justifiable?"

"........"

"Father, don't forget that Han Shiyu is just my cousin. Uncle San hasn't said anything here, so why are you so agitated every time?"

"Me!" Han Ming's face turned ugly. "What about my cousin! Your grandfather always said that brothers and sisters are family as long as they are connected by blood. My cousin is also your sister!"

"Really? So it's because of Grandpa's words that Father is taking such good care of my 'cousin'. I almost thought..."

Han Mingtong's expression darkened, and he lowered his eyes to avoid Han Xi's gaze.

Han Xi gently curled his lips and continued, "Han Shiyu isn't my cousin, she's my biological sister."

One sentence caused Han Ming's expression to change drastically.

Even Han Yi's expression subtly changed.
