Chapter 778: Chapter 769 Family (3) Chapter 778: Chapter 769 Family (3) When Han Yizhi saw the branded shopping bag, it was clear that both Han Yifan and Shang Feifei had noticed it too. Feifei’s face instantly flushed red, and then she gently tugged at Yifan’s sleeve.
Well, looks like all our secrets have been exposed.
Han Yifan, on the other hand, didn’t seem to care. After all, from his first words, he had made it clear that she was his girlfriend. They were adults; surely, they couldn’t be expected to only talk about poetry and life ambitions in a relationship, right?
But since his girlfriend tugged at him, he symbolically tossed the box under the coffee table. This act was as subtle as yelling “There’s no silver here!”, making Feifei’s face turn even redder.
Han Yizhi coughed. The Han Family was usually quite serious. The least serious one was the person before him now. When Han Yizhi’s parents were getting married, conforming to the state’s call to marry and have children later in life, their combined ages had to be at least fifty before they could wed, and it took another three years before he was born. They thought they could retire from parenting at that point, but eight years later, they unexpectedly conceived Yifan. Han’s mother was already thirty-six, quite an advanced age for childbearing; she chose not to abort, resulting in a fine of three thousand.
When Han’s mother gave birth to her youngest son, she suffered quite a bit. Plus, having a child in her older years, the family spoiled him rotten. As a result, this guy grew up to be good for nothing but indulging in pleasures and chasing girls, a habit in girlfriends the family had grown accustomed to.
This time it all started with rumors of Yifan dating Xia Siyu. The Han Family and the Bo Family were acquaintances, so they knew it was a fabrication and didn’t intervene. Then, before you knew it, he was in a relationship with Shang Feifei from the cast next door. Even though her reputation was much better than Siyu’s, she was still an entertainer. In families like theirs, what girlfriends their sons had wasn’t of concern, but if it came to marriage, that was a different matter.
In this regard, even Shang Feifei compared unfavorably with Xia Siyu. Although Siyu had a not-so-great reputation, if it was a family with known pedigree, they’d know most of her so-called scandals were likely false. Even if they were true, she was still the treasured daughter of the Xia Family; Xia Youbiao was very fond of his little daughter, which was to her advantage.
But Han Yizhi, as a brother, had no say in these matters, nor could he. It all depended on what their parents thought.
He came over this time partly because he was nearby managing a project and took the chance to check on things. But also, it was per his father’s instructions. His brother had been a bit too wild lately; it was time to pull him back in line.
Han Yizhi spoke calmly, “I came today as the vice president and second in command of Han Group to hold you accountable. You’re still on the roster at Han Group, right? But these past few days, you’ve been absent without leave and haven’t submitted any leave request to your superior. I’m giving you three business days to come back to the office and explain. If you continue to be absent, I’ll report this to the executive team and have you dismissed.”
“Oh, there’s no need for a report, just fire me directly.”
Han Yifan had initially gone to work at the company just to pursue Shang Feifei. Now that he had won her over and she knew he was nothing but a rich idler, why would he go back to work anyway?
Han Yizhi frowned, “Do you think work is some kind of game? You come and go as you please?”
“So what? Do I need to pay a fine? How much is it? I’ll pay it,” said Han Yifan with a nonchalant face, not giving his brother any respect. That’s what was annoying about the Han Family; making a big fuss over every little thing.
