In her previous life, she was the iron-blooded matriarch of the Huo family, dominating Hong Kong Island. Yet, her own children conspired to drug her, leading to a hate-filled death. All because she...
Chapter 102 Vulgar to the core
After entering, Ling Ye was somewhat irritated and said sullenly, "Madam, what's wrong with these media outlets? We're not public figures, so why are they always targeting us?"
“You are the champion, and I am a member of the Huo family. Naturally, they will not let us off easily.”
"But it's okay, it's good for you to get used to it now. There will definitely be more things like this after you become a world champion."
Fang Lanxin smiled slightly, sat elegantly on the sofa, took a sip of her flower tea, and squinted her eyes in satisfaction.
Seeing that Fang Lanxin wasn't angry about this, Ling Ye breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Madam, is this matter over?"
"Of course not, I will make them pay the price."
"By the way, do you know those thugs who fought with us?"
Fang Lanxin frowned and looked at Ling Ye.
Ling Ye thought about it seriously for a moment and then nodded: "I've seen them once or twice before when we were racing underground, but we weren't close and hadn't had any contact. I don't know what's going on with them or why they're so determined to cause us trouble."
"If you don't know, go look it up. You might find something else."
"Go."
Fang Lanxin waved her hand, putting on a very generous appearance.
Seeing this, Ling Ye could only nod and look at Fang Lanxin with a smile: "I'll have dinner with you first, and then I'll go."
"Mm," Fang Lanxin replied.
Hu Zi walked over, glanced at Ling Ye, and then said, "Madam, Lu Chen has arrived."
"Quickly, let him in!" Fang Lanxin immediately stood up happily and hurriedly walked towards the door. Sure enough, she saw Lu Chen carrying a suitcase and walking back.
Although there was still some distance to go, Fang Lanxin still felt that the child had lost a lot of weight!
"Sister Fang!"
Lu Chen walked over cheerfully with his suitcase, and immediately hugged Fang Lanxin, rubbing against her shoulder like a puppy.
"Sister Fang, I miss you so much!"
Standing behind Fang Lanxin, Ling Ye felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of Lu Chen's clingy behavior. He rubbed his goosebumps and pretended to vomit.
"Ugh, I feel nauseous."
The warm atmosphere was instantly shattered. Fang Lanxin turned around and looked at Ling Ye's disgusted expression, feeling both amused and exasperated. She said helplessly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"That's right, it's normal for grown men to be so mushy."
"Madam, what exactly do you see in him?"
Ling Ye looked at Lu Chen with a face full of disgust.
In Ling Ye's view, a man should be manly, and a pretty boy like Lu Chen is basically equivalent to a sissy.
Lu Chen didn't argue with Ling Ye, but looked at Fang Lanxin with longing eyes: "Sister Fang, my work abroad is over. My agent said I have a week off. Can I stay here for a few more days? I miss your chef's cooking so much."
"Okay, you're on a business trip abroad, how come you've lost so much weight? Have you not been eating properly lately?" Fang Lanxin felt a little sorry for Lu Chen looking so thin.
Lu Chen smiled provocatively at Ling Ye, then said pitifully again, "The food outside is just too awful, home is so much better!"
How shameless!
Ling Ye stepped forward, yanked Lu Chen away, and said irritably, "Just talk, why are you grabbing him?"
"What are you doing?" Lu Chen frowned, looking at Ling Ye, then looked at Fang Lanxin with a wronged expression: "Sister Fang, look at him!"
Fang Lanxin was both amused and exasperated. She sighed helplessly, then tugged at Ling Ye's sleeve and said, "Let go of him, you've pinched his wrist until it's red."
"You're still tattling?"
"You're not acting like a man at all!"
Ling Ye flung Lu Chen's wrist away and looked at Fang Lanxin.
“I didn’t use any force at all; he was just too weak to be defeated.”
"Alright, alright, you're a tough guy, okay?"
Fang Lanxin offered a helpless reassurance before ordering the meal to be served.
I thought we could have some peace and quiet during the meal, but I never expected that the two of them would be competing against each other.
Lu Chen barely ate anything himself, and kept putting food on Fang Lanxin's plate. Ling Ye even wanted to give the whole plate to Fang Lanxin.
Seeing the two of them like this, Fang Lanxin finally couldn't bear it any longer and put down her chopsticks, her eyebrows furrowed tightly: "You two, have you had enough? Eat your food properly!"
Now the two who were previously arguing obediently ate the food on their plates, each more compliant than the last.
For some reason, even though Fang Lanxin used to hate people who acted recklessly, she now felt somewhat powerless to resist these two.
A slight smile appeared on her lips, and in her delight, she ate an extra bowl of rice.
Fang Lanxin stood up and looked at her waist: "Lu Chen, have I gained weight?"
"No," Lu Chen replied truthfully.
He walked over, took out a box, and inside was an amethyst brooch.
"Sister Fang, this is something I carefully selected. Do you like it?" Lu Chen presented the item to Fang Lanxin as if it were a treasure.
Fang Lanxin glanced at it and saw that it was indeed a nice amethyst. She smiled slightly and then pointed directly to her chest: "Try wearing it."
Lu Chen immediately stepped forward, put the hairpin on Fang Lanxin, and said with a smile, "It looks really good. Fang-jie, you're already beautiful, but you look even better with this on."
"Tacky!"
Ling Ye summed up Lu Chen's taste in a single word.
He stepped forward, casually took off the brooch, and played with it in his hand.
"This is too extravagant, madam. It's not attractive at all. People will laugh at you if you wear it out."
Ling Ye spoke with such seriousness, his disdain impossible to hide.
Fang Lanxin rolled her eyes at him, then snatched the brooch back and said irritably, "What do you know? I think it's time for you to get some proper education. There's a jewelry exhibition next month, come with me and you'll see what taste is."
"Sister Fang, I want to go too."
"I've never been to a jewelry exhibition before."
Lu Chen immediately seized the opportunity, stepped forward, tugged at Fang Lanxin's arm, and looked at her pitifully.
"Go if you want, but I'm not going!"
"What jewelry exhibition? I still have training!"
Seeing how clever Lu Chen was, Ling Ye felt a surge of anger, snorted, and turned to leave.
Watching Ling Ye's retreating figure, Fang Lanxin shook her head helplessly. This child is good in every way, except for his bad temper. But it's inevitable for young people to be impulsive.
She smiled, then looked at Lu Chen: "Ignore him, that's just his temper."
