Chapter 1164: Chapter 1164: Awkward Relationships

“Haha, with Old Yang here this time, and Xiaofan too, I can finally have a few drinks. Usually, she won’t let me drink!”

Xiong Hai picked up the bottle and poured a drink for everyone, then smiled and pointed at Li Fang, looking as happy as a child who got candy.

Faced with a table full of her favorite dishes, Xiong Yourong’s gaze lingered on her mother, Li Fang!

She just wanted to know, could Li Fang really be so heartless, abandoning her and her father to follow this so-called first love abroad?

Could it be that after thirty years, she felt no attachment to this family at all?

Seemingly aware of Xiong Yourong’s gaze, Li Fang actually hesitated to meet her eyes directly. Perhaps she felt a bit guilty!

Halfway through the meal, after a few drinks, Yang Sen sensed it was the right time to speak.

“Brother Xiong, the real reason I came back this time is to take Xiaofang to America!”

In an instant, Bai Xiaofan, Xiong Yourong, and Li Fang all stopped what they were doing.

“Oh? To America? Well, that’s great. I haven’t taken Xiaofang on a trip all these years. Since you’re old friends, let her travel over there and see the outside world!”

Xiong Hai was stunned for a moment, then smiled as he spoke. He walked to the nearby drawer, took out a savings book, and placed it in front of Li Fang.

“Here, this is our savings from these years. I was originally planning to take you on a trip after our daughter got married. You go ahead this time, and when we have time in the future, we’ll go together. You can be our trailblazer!”

Xiong Hai had no ulterior motives regarding Yang Sen’s words about taking Li Fang abroad. He only thought it was a simple travel invitation.

Moreover, he had no doubts about the relationship between Yang Sen and Li Fang.

It must be said, in this regard, Xiong Hai had enough trust in his wife Li Fang!

Seeing the savings book in front of her, Li Fang’s eyes instantly became wet!

She knew that this contained all the money they saved over the years through frugality, totaling more than half a million!

Though it wasn’t much, Xiong Hai could give it all to her without hesitation. This affection, she couldn’t pretend not to see!

“Old Xiong, it’s not necessary. This is what we’ve struggled to save over the years. You’re giving it all to me now, what about you?”

Li Fang raised her head, looking at this man who was normally stingy but was always excessively generous to her, trying to fulfill whatever she wanted.

At this moment, her heart hesitated!

All these years, she thought she had forgotten Yang Sen and everything from the past.

But when Yang Sen reappeared before her and told her he hadn’t fallen in love or married all these thirty years, a ripple stirred in her heart.

Especially when Yang Sen proposed taking her abroad to live together, she felt tempted!

Yet at this moment, looking at Xiong Hai and Xiong Yourong on the other side, she felt a bit of reluctance in her heart.

“Oh, what’s the big deal? Isn’t money meant to be spent? Going on a trip with Old Yang, of course, you shouldn’t let him pay. When you get back, if you still want to go out, we’ll save up again and go together.”

Xiong Hai seemed unconcerned about Li Fang’s words.

“Yes, yes, and if uncle and aunt want to travel then, I’ll foot the bill. You can go anywhere!”

Bai Xiaofan chimed in, only to be pinched on the arm by Xiong Yourong right after she spoke!

This little girl didn’t even thank him for offering to fund her parents’ trip and instead pinched him. How rude!

Xiong Yourong looked at Bai Xiaofan angrily. Even if this guy wanted to win over her father, couldn’t he pick a better time?

Didn’t he see the situation in front of him?

Hmph, it must be on purpose!

As for Xiong Hai, when he heard Bai Xiaofan’s words, he burst into a wide smile.

“Old Xiong, actually, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not just an old friend of Xiaofang’s; I’m also her first love. I came back this time specifically for her!”

At this moment, Yang Sen spoke once more. He had noticed the change in Li Fang’s expression and knew that if he didn’t speak now, Li Fang might have a change of heart!

“What?”

Xiong Hai, who had been happily drinking, was suddenly stunned upon hearing Yang Sen’s words. It seemed he couldn’t believe what he heard, so he turned to Li Fang for confirmation.

Seeing the tears in Li Fang’s eyes and her evasive gaze, even the slowest to react could understand.

It turned out that Yang Sen came here to take his wife away.

Silently, Xiong Hai picked up the wine glass and poured himself a drink.

For a moment, everyone at the table fell silent!

“Old Xiong, I know this is wrong, but I returned solely for Xiaofang. When I went abroad back then, I promised to come back after three years, but I became a volunteer there and got injured. I couldn’t return all these years. I kept asking friends back home about Xiaofang’s whereabouts!”

“It wasn’t until recently that I finally heard news about Xiaofang. So, I left my business in America immediately and rushed back. When I learned that Xiaofang was already married, to be honest, I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t even dare to approach her!”

“I’ve been wandering around this area ever since. Every time Xiaofang went out grocery shopping, I could see her. Finally, I gathered the courage, thickened my skin, and came to find you. I hope you can fulfill our wish!”

Yang Sen also raised a glass and drank, then said to Xiong Hai, his eyes filled with deep guilt.

However, hearing Yang Sen’s words, Xiong Yourong wanted to rush up and slap him!

Damn, you come to destroy someone else’s family, and you think you’re justified?

But Bai Xiaofan quickly intervened and gestured for Xiong Yourong not to speak. After all, this was a matter between Xiong Hai, Li Fang, and Yang Sen!

Even though Xiong Yourong was the daughter of Xiong Hai and Li Fang, it wasn’t her place to say too much in this situation!

“Old Yang, shouldn’t Xiaofang’s opinion be considered in such matters?”

As Xiong Hai finished speaking, he was about to turn and ask Li Fang.

But he only saw Li Fang crying silently, saying nothing!

“Brother Xiong, Xiaofang has already agreed to go back to America with me!”

Seeing Li Fang’s silence, Yang Sen spoke again.
