Note that this book is a slow-burn novel, and it will become increasingly exciting as the story progresses.
It starts from 2002, beginning at the Beijing Film Academy, and starting with the H...
Shen Kun laughed uncontrollably: "Third Uncle, why don't you take this little girl in? Wouldn't it be nice if she became your concubine?"
Shen Kun's words made Pansy Ho frown deeply. What kind of talk was that? A concubine??? The women of the Ho family were to be someone's concubines!!!
Shen Fang was speechless: "Miss He, Xiao Kun didn't mean that."
On the contrary, Laurinda Ho looked excited.
"Okay, okay, I'm willing to be your concubine."
Sinking Square.......
"Xiao Lian, what are you saying? Have you no manners?!" Pansy Ho scolded.
Laurinda Ho pouted and said, "Daddy has so many concubines, so what if I become one?"
Upon hearing this, Pansy Ho's face darkened.
"Do you want to be put in solitary confinement?!"
"No! I was wrong! Please don't put me in solitary confinement, big sister!!"
"Then shut up! You've completely disgraced the He family's upbringing!"
Man Shen, who was standing nearby, quickly intervened, saying, "Sister Qiong, Chaolian is still young and doesn't understand things. Don't be angry with her."
Laurinda Ho pouted, "That's right, that's right, I was just telling the truth."
Pansy Ho was speechless: "It's one thing for you to say this to my face, but if the family finds out and it gets back to Dad, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Laurinda Ho pouted: "I know, big sister. You always talk about me, humph."
The intrigues of the wealthy family, the gambling tycoon's four wives, the constant turmoil within the household, the countless mistresses, the numerous children—all these power struggles and backstabbing are commonplace. Take, for example, why did Mario Ho and Ming Xi have such a whirlwind marriage and children? Wasn't it all just to get a bigger share of the inheritance? Pansy Ho is also doing this for Laurinda Ho's own good. Although they don't share the same mother, Pansy Ho treats Laurinda Ho very well, which is quite strange, while her youngest daughter, Alice Ho, doesn't seem to like her at all. She even seems quite afraid of her.
In the past, it was legal in Hong Kong to have two, three, or even four wives. This was permitted by law. Later, the law was amended and the situation gradually changed. However, many people still accept this rule. Although this rule may not be appropriate in modern times, what man wouldn't want to marry two wives? This is a fine traditional Chinese virtue that should be promoted.
For the rest of the time, Pansy Ho and others chatted and laughed with Shen Fang, discussing everything from business to music, from music to movies, the future development of Hong Kong, including fashion tips and makeup techniques. It can be said that Shen Fang fully demonstrated her charm.
After a pleasant afternoon tea, Pansy Ho and Shen Fang exchanged contact information.
"Shen Sheng, if you ever come to Macau, you must come and see me! I have something to do, but I'll definitely have a long chat with you next time."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I will definitely meet with Miss He again when I have the chance."
"Brother Chen, remember to text me! I'll miss you. I'll come visit you in mainland China when I have my vacation."
Sinking Square........
"Uh, I understand."
Laurinda Ho blew kisses to Shen Fang before being pulled away by Pansy Ho.
Man Shen put her arms around Shen Fang's neck.
"Little brother, how can you be so perfect? Sigh, why can't you be my man? How do you know so much? You know about cosmetics, makeup, and fashion."
Shen Fang smiled and said, "I know a little, I know a little."
Rosamund Kwan, who was standing nearby, thought the same thing. In the conversation just now, Shen Fang's knowledge, taste, temperament, and confidence in his future career development were all a fatal charm that struck her heart. Unfortunately, she was already old.
Chiu Shu-chen looked at Shen Fang with admiration. This young man was just like Lui Lok, the character she played in the film "Lee Lok's Story"—a hidden dragon poised to soar to great heights. However, she was already married. Although Shen Fang was indeed very charming, she could only admire him.
On the ferry, Laurinda Ho, continuing from her earlier memory, sketched a portrait of Shen Fang on her easel. Pansy Ho, standing nearby, glanced at it and thought it was quite lifelike. "This man is indeed very good," she thought, "what a pity..."
