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 103 Effeminate Man
Lu Chen naturally didn't take the crazed Ling Ye seriously, but he still looked at Fang Lanxin pitifully and asked in a low voice, "Is this brooch really that bad?"
"Of course not, this brooch is very beautiful and I like it very much, thank you."
"You've come at the perfect time, let's have dinner together."
Fang Lanxin smiled gently and pulled Lu Chen to the dining table.
Seeing the table full of delicious food, Lu Chen immediately smiled happily: "When I was abroad, I was thinking about home-cooked meals. It was so wonderful. Sister Fang, you are so good to me."
Fang Lanxin looked at his adorable appearance, smiled gently, picked up her chopsticks and handed them to him, saying softly, "Then you should eat more. Look how thin you've become. It breaks my heart to see you like this."
The word "heartache" really touched Lu Chen's heart.
Lu Chen sat down shyly, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat.
For some reason, Fang Lanxin always felt sorry for Lu Chen whenever she saw him. The child was always very careful when he ate, as if he was silently calculating the calories in his mind, and dared not eat a single bite more than necessary.
Because you can't eat too much, you have to cherish every bite.
Looking at Lu Chen's pitiful appearance, Fang Lanxin smiled faintly and then said directly, "My only requirement for you is to eat well and sleep well. Nothing else matters. As for the harsh treatment you received from your previous agency, that's all in the past. In my opinion, boys should have a little bit of meat on them to look better and have more masculinity."
Lu Chen's current image is good in every way, except that he lacks a bit of the so-called masculine energy.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately became anxious, his eyebrows furrowing as he looked at Fang Lanxin: "Do I look like a sissy?"
Fang Lanxin certainly didn't mean it that way, but seeing Lu Chen's anxious expression, she smiled and remained silent.
Now, Lu Chen really couldn't sit still any longer. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating in big mouthfuls. He was a hot-blooded young man and would never allow himself to appear effeminate.
Looking at Lu Chen's adorable appearance, Fang Lanxin felt her heart melting.
Soon it was time for Fang Lanxin's birthday banquet. Early in the morning, Fang Lanxin drove straight back to the Huo family mansion.
"Mom, you're finally back! I missed you so much!" Lin Meiling came forward and hugged Fang Lanxin, then pulled her upstairs.
Lin Meiling immediately took out the dress and jewelry she had prepared beforehand, and looked at Fang Lanxin with a smile: "Mom, I found the best stylist today, I guarantee he will give you a particularly good image!"
Fang Lanxin found Lin Meiling's serious expression quite amusing; she knew exactly what kind of image Lin Meiling projected.
She opened the box, looked at the dress inside, and frowned slightly: "Wasn't this the one you wore before?"
"This was secretly sent over by Second Master. He said it's the most suitable for you."
"Mom, I've put both dresses here. You can choose whichever one you like."
After Lin Meiling finished speaking, she gave Fang Lanxin an ambiguous smile, then turned and walked downstairs.
Fang Lanxin took out the dress from the box and held it up in front of her. It has to be said that Guan Yu's taste was quite good. It was a light pink tulle dress, which did not quite match Fang Lanxin's usual image, but it was a very beautiful dress.
Fang Lanxin originally didn't like this kind of girlish style, but now, looking at this dress, she actually felt a little sweet inside.
A slight smile played on her lips. She then changed into the dress and looked at herself in the mirror, looking like a young woman in her early twenties.
Previously, Fang Lanxin had to fight in the business world, and she was dealing with some old foxes, so she had to dress herself up to look older, only in this way could she gain people's trust.
But now, Fang Lanxin didn't care about any of that anymore. She smiled slightly and then called the stylist in to start doing her makeup and hair.
"Today, nothing too extravagant, just something that matches this outfit will do." Fang Lanxin looked at her radiant reflection in the mirror, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She already had a great figure, and although she was forty years old, she looked like she was only in her early thirties. With this outfit, she looked even younger, almost as if she were the same age as Lin Meiling.
"My God, Mom, you look so beautiful!"
"My mother, how can you be so beautiful?"
When Lin Meiling entered the room and saw Fang Lanxin's expression, she was overjoyed and her face was full of excitement.
"Is it really good?"
Fang Lanxin held Lin Meiling's hand and smiled gently at her.
Lin Meiling immediately nodded, then pulled Fang Lanxin to the mirror and said with a smile, "Mom, look how beautiful you are! Actually, I always thought you dressed too old-fashioned. Look how beautiful you are now, you're absolutely gorgeous!"
Fang Lanxin's beauty is her least noteworthy advantage, and she rarely receives any comments about her appearance when she is out in public.
Hearing Lin Meiling's delighted praise, Fang Lanxin's lips curled up slightly, and she also felt a little shy.
She wondered what Guan Yu's expression would be if he saw her like this.
The birthday banquet started at noon, and relatives from the Huo family began to arrive one after another, all bringing valuable gifts.
Regardless of their internal situation, they still need to maintain a harmonious public image, since everyone's interests are intertwined, and they can't afford to become a laughingstock in front of outsiders.
Fang Lanxin sat in the main seat of the living room, smiling slightly at everyone.
Huo Zhenhong was quite surprised to see Fang Lanxin dressed in such a pink outfit today. In his memory, Fang Lanxin had never been so vibrant. Most of the time, Fang Lanxin was cold and aloof, like a statue.
But now, Fang Lanxin has suddenly grown flesh and blood, as if she has a different soul, which makes Huo Zhenhong feel an inexplicable sense of crisis.
"Sister-in-law, you look so delicate today."
Huo Zhenhong smiled coldly, staring at Fang Lanxin with a meaningful look.
However, Fang Lanxin completely ignored Huo Zhenhong's malice and simply said, "I was just thinking of changing my style while I'm not too old yet."
