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 53 Stingy
Lin Meiling smiled shyly at first, then stepped forward and blinked at Huo Qibang: "These were all bought for me by my mother, and many more were bought for the children!"
Hearing this, Huo Qibang was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Meiling: "Really? Did your mother really buy all of these for you?"
"Of course, otherwise why would I be willing to buy something so expensive?"
Lin Meiling began to show Huo Qibang all the things she had bought that day. As she took them out, she said, "Mom is really willing to spend money on Tianle. I always thought that Mom disliked Tianle because of his poor health. I didn't expect that Mom still loves him very much. You said before that Mom didn't want you anymore. How could that be?"
Huo Qibang originally thought that Fang Lanxin didn't want him anymore, but he never expected that she would buy so many nice things for his wife and children.
Huo Qibang wasn't unfamiliar with good things, but these things were all bought by Fang Lanxin, which made them all the more special.
“Abang, I think you should spend more time with your mother when you have time.”
"Okay, I'm going to take Tianle to bed now!"
Lin Meiling smiled and kissed Huo Qibang, then turned and walked upstairs.
Huo Qibang stared at the items, and after searching for a long time, he discovered that they all belonged to Lin Meiling and the children, and not a single item was his own.
There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He knew he shouldn't argue with his wife and children about these things, but this feeling of being ignored was unprecedented.
Previously, Huo Qibang had always resented Fang Lanxin's gaze always being on him, feeling that he had no freedom and could not breathe. But now, her gaze was really not on him anymore. Huo Qibang felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. This sense of loss was unprecedented.
However, Huo Qibang couldn't find any reason, so he could only suppress these feelings, since the most important thing now was the reform.
Fang Lanxin had been shopping all day, and when she got home her feet were sore and aching, so she immediately sat on the sofa and found a masseur to come to her home.
Ah Shuang stood next to Fang Lanxin and reported: "As for Lu Chen, the contract has been fully processed, so he's now one of ours. I've already tailored a plan to make him famous. Madam, would you like to review it?"
“He has great potential, so you can be more ambitious. Don’t just focus on Hong Kong. Now that both sides of the strait are open, you should also look to the bigger market.” Fang Lanxin knew their weaknesses without even looking.
In this day and age, the port city is considered one of the most prosperous places, and they look down on places like fishing villages. But only Fang Lanxin knows what changes will happen there in a few years!
"By the way, I asked you to take stock of my assets. How's the inventory going? How much cash do you have?" Fang Lanxin took a sip of water and raised an eyebrow at A Shuang.
Over the years, Fang Lanxin has been so focused on her work that she has lost track of how much wealth she has accumulated.
Ah Shuang nodded and then said, "We found the most professional auditing department and have already audited some of it. Because many of them are mixed up with the young master's side, it's hard to say for the time being. However, the cash flow that has been sorted out is about 600 million. In addition, there are your jewelry and other items. The jade alone is worth more than 100 million."
Fang Lanxin was genuinely surprised when she heard the number. She had always known that she was not short of money, but she never expected to be this rich.
It seems that her hard work over the past twenty years has not been in vain, and she deserves all of this.
"Take out two hundred million in cash, I need it."
Fang Lanxin waved her hand casually and glanced at A Shuang.
What?
Ah Shuang hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Madam, shouldn't we discuss such a large amount of funds with the young master first?"
"Didn't you say these are all my personal assets? If I want to spend my own money, who should I consult with?" Fang Lanxin said confidently. She looked at A Shuang and said, "A Shuang, you should change your thinking. Don't always focus on the Huo Group, and you shouldn't just focus on Hong Kong. You need to broaden your horizons. After you take this money, go to the fishing village and buy land. Buy as much as you can, the more the better!"
In this day and age, the concept of real estate doesn't exist in Hong Kong, but Fang Lanxin comes from the future, so she naturally knows the importance of land and the exorbitant profits of real estate!
Ah Shuang really didn't understand what Fang Lanxin meant, but he trusted Fang Lanxin's professional judgment, so he simply nodded and turned to get back to work.
Fang Lanxin glanced at the time and smiled, "Let's go check out the wine cellar."
Hu Zi stepped forward and looked at Fang Lanxin with some concern, then said in a low voice, "Madam, perhaps you should drink less?"
"I'm not drinking today. I'm going to the winery to see my old friend." After saying that, Fang Lanxin picked up her car keys and drove herself to the film and television base to pick up Lu Chen.
Lu Chen finished filming today, so he was in high spirits. When he saw Fang Lanxin coming over, he was so happy that he ran towards her like a puppy, and then stuffed the flowers in his hand into Fang Lanxin's hand: "Sister Fang, why did you come to see me? Did you miss me?"
Looking into Lu Chen's deep, watery puppy eyes, Fang Lanxin felt a surge of tenderness. She stroked his messy hair and said with a smile, "I'll take you somewhere, let's go!"
After getting in the car, Fang Lanxin handed Lu Chen a hamburger and said with a smile, "You didn't call me today, so you probably didn't eat properly, right?"
Lu Chen felt guilty under Shang Lanxin's gaze, like a child who had done something wrong, and whispered, "My manager said I gained a pound this week and need to lose it."
"Your agent is so unprofessional. Look at you now, you're so thin. Do you know that this is unhealthy?"
"Boys shouldn't just pursue being skinny; they need to have some muscles to look good."
Fang Lanxin smiled and then drove towards her winery.
Upon seeing the winery, Lu Chen's expression changed, and then he trembled slightly, whispering, "Sister Fang, I don't drink alcohol."
"Do you not drink or do you hate drinking?" Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Are you afraid of drinking?"
