Chapter 630 Sister-in-law

"Honey, can you help me with the zipper?"

Shen Fang zipped up Lee Boo-jin's evening gown. After a whole day of rest, Lee Boo-jin had recovered, though her legs were still a little weak.

The two of them, carrying gifts, got into their car and arrived at the Li family villa.

Shen Fang and Li Fuzhen approached Lee Jae-yong and Lim Se-ryung.

Shen Fang glanced at Lin Shiling.

"This is a small gift I prepared."

"Thank you." Lin Shiling accepted the gift with a slight smile.

He glanced at Lee Boo-jin, who looked radiant with happiness, then at the woman beside her. Jealousy surged again. Why?! Why couldn't he have happiness?!

Lee Jae-yong, who was standing to the side, was quite displeased to see that Shen Fang hadn't even glanced at him.

"You have a problem with me?"

Shen Fang shrugged at Lee Jae-yong's question: "NONONO, I don't have a problem with you, I'm just pretending you don't exist."

Lee Jae-yong was immediately angered by these words.

"You little brat, what do you mean?!"

Shen Fang gave a disdainful smile: "Today is your engagement banquet, I still think you'd better not embarrass yourself."

After saying that, Shen Fang patted Lee Jae-yong on the shoulder and left.

Lee Jae-yong was trembling with anger! Looking at the guests gathered around him, he suppressed his rage.

Lin Shiling, standing to the side, looked at Lee Jae-yong with disdain, thinking he wasn't like a man at all.

"Son-in-law Shen, you've arrived."

Shen Fang smiled and nodded to Hong Xiluo, offering words of comfort and concern to his mother-in-law.

"Uncle, it's been a long time."

Lee Geon-hee smiled and nodded, introducing, "These are Se-ryung's father and mother. This is Boo-jin's boyfriend, Shim-bang."

Actually, Shen Fang had met the two of them before, but he hadn't greeted them. This time, they officially met.

Park Joo-hyun sized up Shen Fang: "Mr. Shen, you are truly like a work of art. You and Boo Jin are a perfect match, a golden couple. Boo Jin is so lucky. What do you do for a living, Mr. Shen?"

Lee Boo-jin linked arms with Shen Fang: "Darling, he has many businesses, including finance, real estate, entertainment, media, and the internet. He's especially influential in the US. Warren Buffett and Thorgan Hoffman are good friends with him. He's also very famous in Hollywood. Recently, his company invested in the hugely popular movies 'Hero,' 'Saw,' and 'The Purge,' all of which grossed over 100 million US dollars at the box office."

In the eyes of South Koreans, America is like a father figure. Anyone who can develop a career and achieve success in America is a big shot in South Korea, someone to be admired.

The South Korean dignitaries and chaebols standing nearby, upon hearing how powerful Shen Fang was in the United States, couldn't help but elevate Shen Fang's status to that of a super tycoon.

Lee Boo-jin did this because she was indeed under pressure and needed an outsider like Shim Bang. Lee Jae-yong's engagement increased her pressure, and she needed a strong man to support her. It was also to let the South Korean chaebols know that she was not only capable but also had a powerful outsider, in preparation for future power struggles. Many high-ranking executives from the Samsung Group were also present today.

What Lee Boo-jin wanted was to let these veteran officials know that she had a backup plan, and what she needed to do now was to accumulate strength.

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"Hero, I've seen it. It's a work of art, an absolute work of art. It even won an Oscar. I never imagined it was Mr. Shen who invested in it."

"Mr. Shen, you're really amazing. Let's have a drink together."

........

Chen Fang, Lee Boo-jin received the center of attention.

Lee Jae-yong, who was not far away, was even more furious. Today, he was the star of the show!

"Damn it!!!"

Lin Shiling glanced at Lee Jae-yong: "What? Can't stand seeing others succeed? Jealous?"

"I'm jealous of him?" Lee Jae-yong pointed to his own nose.

"What a joke! Who am I? I am the future head of the Samsung Group, the Samsung heir. Him? He's just an ordinary foreigner with a little money."

Lin Shiling laughed: "Lee Jae-yong, stop fooling yourself. You know better than anyone who Shen Fang is. Haven't you investigated his strength and background? Isn't that ridiculous? You call yourself an ordinary person? With him around, your younger sister is like a tiger with wings. Whether you can even get that position is still unknown. Don't be so arrogant."

Lee Jae-yong sneered: "Arrogant? I'm taking that position, I said it!!! No one can touch it."

Lin Shiling shook her head. Although Lee Jae-yong was the eldest son, according to the tradition of South Korean chaebols, the position was definitely his. But what kind of person was Lee Jae-yong? He was good for nothing, and good for nothing. Since returning from the United States, he had never held any important position. It was only after getting engaged to her that he took over some core businesses. He was proficient in drinking, gambling, and womanizing. His work ability was simply incompetent.

After taking over the core business, Lee Boo-jin has made great strides and received high praise from the industry. Not only that, she has also done a great job in media publicity and image promotion. She treats work as life, often goes to the front line to observe, encourage employees, and get close to the grassroots employees. Moreover, she is also highly praised by senior employees.

With favorable timing, location, and popular support, Lee Kun-hee has won over the hearts of the people. The middle class leans towards Lee Boo-jin, and many ministers at the top leadership also favor her. Even if Lee Kun-hee wanted to favor Lee Jae-yong, he would have to consider whether these veteran ministers and his chaebol allies would agree.

Lee Jae-yong has everything Lee Boo-jin has, and Lee Boo-jin also has everything Lee Jae-yong doesn't have.

Lee Jae-yong still had this air about him, as if the world was in his hands. Lim Se-ryung felt that this man truly couldn't offer her any bright future.
