Chapter 686 - 551: Don’t Think It’s Funny (2)
Li Er violently assaulted his ex-girlfriend to be with me and landed her in the hospital, which mainland media and audiences are unaware of. But would Fang Han really be ignorant of this?
Ning Youguang thought, she might know, or she might not.
Regardless, after Li Er’s breakup with the famous hostess from Hong Kong, Fang Han indeed swiftly got together with him.
And quickly married him as well, and before long, had a daughter.
In their luxury mansion on the mountaintop of Hong Kong, they lived a life like a divine couple behind closed doors.
But the crisis was already buried, waiting for the right time to erupt.
Before they got married, one could pretend, and the other could deceive. But when they married and faced each other daily, everything got exposed, and it couldn’t be hidden anymore.
During Li Er’s pursuit of Fang Han, the business operated by the Fang family was already in crisis.
Later, as the company’s finances grew more dire, Ning Xian played clever tricks, attempting to use Li family connections to expand business and networks into the mainland, frequently promising them empty checks to secure funds to solve her family’s financial crisis.
In the end, the plot was exposed, not only plummeting the Fang family’s company stock price but also depleting considerable funds from the Li family.
The Fang family went completely bankrupt, and the Li family was disastrously affected by them.
You would wonder, in this situation, what good treatment can a wife receive from her husband’s family if she and her mother colluded to con them?
But then again, a sinking ship still retains a few nails.
While the Fang family might have gone bankrupt, Ning Xian’s family did not. The Ning family remained one of the top true aristocrats in Jin City. Her eldest sister, Ning Wan, was still a national zxw member and frequently topped various power lists as a businesswoman, while her brother was a renowned director in entertainment. Her sister-in-law, similarly a top-ranking female boss, had a complex background.
Even if the Li family was wronged by the Fang family, no matter how angry, they couldn’t actually do anything significant to Fang Han or Ning Xian.
Of course, grievances are often unspoken within the confines of their home, and when they do manifest, they can appear ugly.
Yet, would Fang Han and her mother be pushovers?
One was a famed socialite since childhood and an old miss illustrious across the country, accompanied by another adept at socializing, seasoned both in the complex entertainment circles and Hong Kong’s high society as a new socialite, knowing precisely how to handle this wealthy family.
Moreover, they weren’t just shrewd and resourceful; they had formidable connections, albeit not yielding much money, which they could genuinely rely on.
Against the renowned Li family in Hong Kong, they had no fear.
This is why despite the Fang family’s bankruptcy, Fang Han could still stir up chaos within the Li family.
Also, although her husband was promiscuous, marrying into the Li family indeed brought her benefits.
Thus, by the time of Ning Youguang’s death in her past life, the tumultuous pair hadn’t divorced despite their ugly confrontations.
When the Ning family heard about Fang Han’s marriage, Ning Youguang was surprised.
Two weeks later, she received a wedding invitation personally delivered by Fang Han, startling her even more.
Mainly because Fang Han had never privately contacted her before, yet now she would visit National University specifically to deliver the invitation herself; this was unexpected for Ning Youguang.
After all, when it came to the matters of the Fang family, or rather, the matters concerning Fang Han, the Ning family always found out last, or Ning Youguang never knew.
Yet now this person was delivering the invitation early—and herself—
Receiving a call from Fang Han at school saying she was at the school entrance, Ning Youguang’s heart skipped a beat.
She knew Fang Han never acted without profit motives; if she was doing this now, there must be a reason, certainly related to her.
At the private room in the coffee shop outside National University.
In front of Ning Youguang sat Fang Han, clad in a new seasonal outfit, exquisitely made-up and smiling blissfully, saying, "It’s on the twelfth of next month."
"So soon?" feigned Ning Youguang, surprised at the news of Fang Han’s imminent marriage, "Wasn’t it just recently that you got engaged to your cousin?"
"Yes." Fang Han’s beautiful face revealed slight reluctance, "I also think it’s too fast, but my mother-in-law consulted Master Li about my and Akun’s compatibility. He said although we’re heaven-sent, marrying on the twelfth of next month will be even more prosperous, so she’s urging us to marry quickly."
At this, she gently pouted, sweetly yet complainingly to Ning Youguang, "You know how people in Hong Kong are, slightly well-to-do families believe in feng shui."
Master Li.
Ning Youguang knew him, Hong Kong’s famous feng shui master; it’s said that consulting him requires hundreds of millions.
"Superstitions can be profitable; those who predict fate can earn well."
With Fang Han’s diamond ring blinding her, Ning Youguang turned her gaze to the slightly yellow gingko leaves outside the window to rest her eyes. Meanwhile, her mind wandered aimlessly. Due to this distraction, she regrettably wondered for the first time whether if she hadn’t switched careers to become a psychologist, becoming a fortune teller might have been lucrative.
But swiftly, she amused herself with such a ludicrous thought.
She really laughed.
This led Fang Han across from her to think she was amused, "Youyou, are you laughing because my in-laws are superstitious?"
Before Ning Youguang could respond, Fang Han continued, "Don’t find it funny."
The matter of feng shui is something you believe in or not. Not only do wealthy families in Hong Kong trust feng shui, but even people in our circle know it’s genuinely credible."
"Oh." Ning Youguang gently nodded to Fang Han, "Cousin, you really know a lot; I don’t understand these things."
